The Nerdy Elf

molly23:

I aspire to a Mr. McFeely level of friendship.

He shows up to Mr. Rogers’s house unannounced (which he can do because he’s the postman),
and is like “I brought this tape of tomatos being canned, wanna see?”
and Mr. Rogers is like “of course, throw it on the Picture-Picture”

and then they watch it, and Mr. McFeely explains the whole thing,

and when Mr. Rogers is like “that was dope as hell,” McFeely is like “WELP, very busy, gotta go, speedy delivery” and bolts.

🙌 GOALS.

Awww…

I know I talk about Bob’s Burgers a lot but one of the newest episodes was so sweet. It starts with Bob realizing that there’s going to be a laser-light-rock-show and remembering how much he loved going to them as a kid:

Since it’s Bob’s birthday, Gene agrees to go with him:

But, like many children, he becomes overwhelmed by the loud noises and flashing lasers. (And listen, I usually hate it when people label characters as ‘autistic’ and act like a show gave them representation when it didn’t…but Bob’s Burgers really does have so many characters who would be labeled in real life, Gene being one of them, and this just adds to it because it’s the perfect depiction of someone being overstimulated):

He eventually breaks down sobbing, screaming that he wants to go:

Bob immediately takes him into the lobby and is able to ground him, getting him to properly breathe until he’s ready to talk:

Bob asks if he wants to go back in or go home. Gene immediately says “Go home!” but hesitates and adds that it’s Bob’s birthday, to which Bob’s instant reply is to not worry about it and that he won’t enjoy the show if Gene isn’t enjoying the show. He adds that they can go back in and he can help Gene through it but Gene begins panicking again and Bob quickly says that they can go home, not once forcing him to do something that would overwhelm him. So they go out to the car (and I just love how Bob holds onto him):

But it gets better. Bob takes out the CD and plays it at a low volume, tilts their chairs back, and uses a cigarette lighter to ‘draw’, creating his own ‘laser show’:

Gene eventually wants to see the finale of the real show, despite Bob’s insistence that Gene doesn’t have to pretend to want to see it just for Bob and that they can just go home, to which Gene assures him that he really does want to see it. They sneak back inside and Bob makes Gene a pair of makeshift headphones so that he can listen to the music without being overwhelmed:

A+ Parenting!

(But really, what else would you expect from this show?)

Hear me out here:

A television show done in the style of The Office or Parks and Recreation, except it takes place backstage in a touring company of a failing Broadway musical.

We never find out what the musical is ever about. We just get shown bits and pieces of dialogue, songs, and choreography throughout the episodes. But every new piece of the musical that’s revealed only adds to the mystery… it’s just a confusing hodgepodge of genres and seemingly unrelated side plots and characters.
