Bob's Burgers: Every Halloween Episode Ranked Worst To Best

10. The Wolf Of Wharf Street (Season 8, Episode 3)

When the local news circulates an urban myth about a deadly wolf stalking the park at Wonder Wharf, Linda tries to prove she's a cool mom by leading the kids on a search for the mysterious animal. Meanwhile, Bob medicates a leg injury with pain pills that cause hallucinations and paranoia while Teddy looks after him in a sexy nurse outfit.

That sounds like the pitch for a crazy episode full of lycanthropic adventure and bizarre hallucinations, but "The Wolf of Wharf Street" never really gives us either. In fact, it never really does much at all. Linda and the kids spend most of the episode trudging through boring, grey settings while Bob and Terry spend the first half on the couch watching TV. Even the kids' costumes are atypically uninspired.

Things do improve a bit in the episode's back half. After three seasons without a speaking cameo, Randy pops up midway through on his own search for the Wonder Wolf. In a fairly slogging episode with few decent one-liners and a little too much Linda, Paul F. Tompkins' voice is a welcome presence. Sure, most of the episode still feels like it was made by someone with a crippling fear of animation costs, but at least it provides some genuine laughs in the closing scenes.
