Bob's Burgers: 15 Greatest Episodes
7. World Wharf II: The Wharfening (Or How Bob Saves/Destroys The Town - Part II)
Burger of the Day: None
World Wharf II was perhaps Bob's closest scrape with death. After he liaises with Felix Fischoeder to convince his brother to sell Wonder Wharf, Felix arranges to have both Mr Fischoeder and Bob killed underneath the pier. The rest of the family only have a miscommunicated text message which causes them to search in all the wrong places for Bob. Whilst we're almost sure Bob won't die, the episode gives a constant feeling on uncertainty as to whether the family will discover their estranged father and how he will escape from the Wharf pier.
Despite sounding like one of the darker episodes, it's also incredibly entertaining. Jordan Peele's performance as the sassy Fanny just gets funnier and funnier on rewatch, not to mention the contrast between Mr Fischoeder and Bob Belcher and how differently they react to their near watery graves.
And to top it off, this episode just shows how much the family love and care for each other more than anything else.
