15 Best Animated TV Moments Of 2018
13. Bob’s Burgers - Louise’s Heist
Ocean’s 11 parodies are hardly anything new; the slick character reveals, the voiceover potential and the quickly wrapped up plot all lend themselves to adaption easily. Family Guy, Futurama and The Simpsons have all mimicked the movie in some way, to name just three animated shows to have taken it on. But, as usual for Bob’s Burgers, they do things a little differently.
The episode in question sees the Belcher kids and their school friends being trained by Mr. Fischoeder to grift the local arcade. Kevin Kline’s Fischoeder is always a delightful character, and it’s interesting to see him bounce off the children's dynamic rather than insulting Bob for a change.
While Season 9 has perhaps thrown the kids the A-plot more than is ideal, it did give us a fantastic moment here. The convoluted plot essentially revolves around Fischoeder tricking the kids into proving the other arcade owners that the grand prize was too easy to win.
Louise, however, figures this out. And while she can’t win the grand prize, she still manages to use Fischoeder’s tricks against him. On the promenade, she applies the methods he’d taught her in order to win his favourite prize: a stuffed mammoth.
