10 Things You Somehow Missed In Bob's Burgers

10. The Inspiration For Philip Frond

We’ve come to know Mr Frond as the quirky, nervous, slightly uptight guidance counsellor of Wagstaff school. His character settles in nicely with the odd and energetic atmosphere of Bob’s Burgers because of his unusual methods of counselling and the way he is easily manipulated by the school students.

The physical design for Mr Frond was taken from the character Michael Bolton, featured in the 1999 film Office Space. David Herman portrays both Michael and Philip, which is why their appearances are so strikingly similar, with the same hairstyle and glasses.

Another inspiration could be taken from the television show King of the Hill, which Herman has worked on, as Mr Frond is extremely similar to the unnamed instructor to Hank Hill’s anger management class in the episode The Texas Skillsaw Massacre.
