10 Things You Learn Rewatching Bob's Burgers

9. Everyone Is Voiced By A Man

....well, at least it would seem that way. But seriously, about eighty percent of the cast are voiced by a man.

If you look at the main Belcher family alone, it's only Louise who is voiced by a female (Kristen Schaal). John Roberts was cast as Linda Belcher because of his very funny impersonations of his own eccentric mother, which he transferred over to the series. Dan Mintz was cast as Tina because her character was originally a teenage boy called Dan. The producers then changed him for a female but Mintz was kept cast on and was told to not alter his voice when performing for her.

Branching out to the wider supporting ensemble, the majority of the characters are portrayed by men - including Gretchen, Ms LaBonz, Marshmellow, Fanny, Courtney and Jocelyn.

Ironically, sisters Sarah and Laura Silverman (one of the very few female voice actors for the show) lend their voices to male characters Andy and Ollie Pesto.
