10 Funniest Halloween TV Episodes

7. Bob’s Burgers - Full Bars

Bob’s Burgers goes all out on holiday specials, having not just a Halloween episode almost annually, but Thanksgiving and Christmas too. However, it took them until Season Three to start the tradition, with the Halloween episode Full Bars.

As the title suggests, it sees the Belcher kids going in search of full sized chocolate bars for Halloween. After getting a fairly meagre haul down on the Wharf, they head to nearby affluent neighbourhood of King’s Head Island. Over there, they end up the victim of the traditional Hell Hunt, where a group of older kids steal their hard won full bars.

Tina then hatches a plan which gets revenge and gets the older boys in their swimming shorts at the same time.

Meanwhile, Linda and Bob head to Teddy’s Halloween party, where Bob ends up accidentally sitting on Teddy’s guinea pig. Teddy’s rage and subsequent investigation derails his party completely, making the grown up Belchers' night as hectic as the kids’.

Then there’s the incredible costumes, with Louise as Edward Scissorhands complete with actual scissors, Tina as a Mommy Mummy and Gene as Queen Latifa’s Unity phase. The show nails punerific costumes every year, and Full Bars is no exception.
