It’s been a long time coming, folks. After countless months since the end of September of last year, still reeling through a pandemic that is still going on, we have finally made it to the finish line. The end of the season of Bob’s Burgers and entering a very long summer hiatus until next September and man, oh man...this blog is gonna freaking die when it comes to the activity and traffic during the three, four months with Comic-Con being the only event to somewhat cover. So who knows what to do for the time being once this review is posted. Especially to the WordPress readers. Because I’m gonna be running out of space there when it comes to posting images and that can be a headache. But for the rest...I might continue the character discussions during the long break. Did left off after the Alex discussion. Did reveal on my Twitter that Arnold is next to be talked about. Arnold, being the pint-sized fourth-grader who helped out the Belcher kids, Jimmy Jr, and Zeke in cleaning up Zeke’s mess in Season 9? Yeah, that’s him. Other than that, we finally reached the finish line in the season. So let’s do this...so I can get my so-called vaycay.
On this week’s season finale episode of Bob’s Burgers, it’s a Bob and Tina episode to close out the season as they, along with Jimmy Jr, Zeke, Tammy, and Jocelyn, head over to the movie theater to watch a vampire movie while in costume as Linda and the kids open up a mini-restaurant for the raccoons invading the alley in my spoilerific review of the twenty-second episode of Season 11, titled “Vampire Disco Death Dance”.
And yes folks, it’s a Bob and Tina episode to wrap up the show’s eleventh season, and knowing that it has been a very long season and how it performed throughout the past eight months, it’s something that we may need and not to mention, it’s a rare occurrence to see an episode that has the spotlight focus on the two and you really don’t have that throughout the show. Though when it comes to that, it’s mostly leaning towards in the line of a Tina-centric episode with her and Bob together as some sort of...well I guess a disguise to fool some people who read the synopsis. This feels more like a Tina episode because all though that it’s her and Bob planning on watching an old film that is pretty much a reference to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, it’s mostly on her wanting to fit in with her peers, the peers being Jimmy Jr, Zeke, Tammy, and Jocelyn, because she wants to fit in regarding the social circle issue. Though the girl...she needs to do better when it comes to that.
Of course, there was some caution when it comes to the episode leading up to the premiere and honestly, I don’t blame them for making that call. Because a lot of hype was building up when the press release came out over a month ago, only to be pulled from its May 2 date, and then gets brought up to serve as the season finale. You could say that’s one way to put it on why you have some folks having some caution with the episode. But now it’s mostly because of how much a total shitshow the season has been, especially the second half, mostly after “Romancing the Beef”, except for “Mr. Lonely Farts” and “Fingers-loose”, is where a lot of people may now have to show some sign of caution as we prepare to enter a new season. How does episode fan out? Well...let’s see and find out one last time for the season, this is “Vampire Disco Death Dance”.
So the episode begins with the kids entering the restaurant from school as Linda cleans up the counter and singing about the lack of customers in the restaurant throughout the whole day. Which honestly, it’s not even surprising to see the place has little to no customers eat in. Hell, Teddy’s not even in the episode and he usually checks in every day in almost every episode. So I guess that pretty much answered their question over the lack of customers for the whole day to start off the episode. But Bob doesn’t seem too bothered over the lack of customers visiting the restaurant and uses that as some sort of advantage because with fewer customers coming to eat over at the restaurant, meaning that Bob and Tina have more time to work on their costumes for their upcoming father/daughter movie night, of course, Linda helped out.
And the movie they’re about to see is an old-time vampire musical that is pretty much R-rated, so bold that you have to bring your 13-year-old daughter to watch an R-rated film like the film that you’re describing, that is filled with some mild language, characters getting drunk, a boatload of innuendos. Of course, Louise and Gene want to visit the movie because they’re upset that Tina gets to go and not them. But once Bob mentions that there’s no violence and no blood, despite that it’s a film about vampires, this is before the Twilight saga fucking things up with it, there would be because...well, they’re vampires. Fangs onto neck, out the blood the liquid goes from their bodies. Though surprising for Bob when seeing the movie but didn’t seem to pass out when seeing the red liquid from the veins. No blood in the movie means that both Gene and Louise don’t wanna see the movie on how Bob describes it to his kids but enough to drag Tina along for the ride with the costumes about to be ready for use for when the big night comes. And also the movie that Bob describes the storyline and such...yeah, a lot of people say that it’s referencing the Rocky Horror Picture Show, so you might as well follow along because it does involve creatures in a party house in farmland and singing. Surprising that it’s only May. Summer is right around the corner, but it looks like we might’ve skipped forward to Halloween. But yeah, it’s pretty much the Rocky Horror Picture Show for throughout the episode.
But while Bob was talking to his kids about the process of the movie regarding vampires and singing like it’s an R-rated Broadway musical on camera, Tina, while listening to the while, grabs a drink but rather than sucking the drink through the straw like a normal human being, and trying out a new trend where you have put a straw into your mouth and have people guess if the user is either drinking or not drinking. Which is kinda stupid to think about and Tina agrees, that is kinda stupid. But she had to follow along because let’s face it, her doing it is all she can do to earn her shot in getting a friend group of her own. I mean, she’s at that point of her life where she wants to be with her friend group almost all the time and let’s face it, the closest people that she can interact with, the people who appeared on the show the most since the earlier days, since it’s prime, around the Seasons 3-5 range...they’re not bright people. While it concerns Bob because he wanted what is best for her daughter to at least have a group of her own, it’s nice for once to take a break and at least enjoy tomorrow night over the theaters. Did I mention that Tina’s little “group” isn’t all that bright?
Yeah...they’re not exactly bright once we head over to the next day over at the cafeteria by doing the trend with Tina acting like the only brain cell that makes the most sense in a group where the brain cells are somewhat nonexistent. I mean, there’s a lot to say about them regarding their relationship with Tina. Jimmy Jr, while yes, your development that was in the works for 7 seasons went down the shitter in a 22-minute episode courtesy of two writers who went on to create their own show about a family in Alaska and became a part of the writing team for a movie about a foul-mouthed assassin of a superhero who is known for breaking the fourth wall. And even without that little controversy where you have the Tina/Jimmy Jr shippers and the JJ stans wanting their heads on the pike following that episode, let’s face it, the girl deserves better. Zeke, while you’re one of the fan-favorite characters on the show alongside the likes of Rudy, Nat, Mickey, and so on, while I could see some potential between both you and Tina in the friendship aisle, hopefully, more than that, Tina is really acting like the only brain cell that might be beginning to think that you’re heading off to the grocery store and pick up a gallon of milk but instead picking up a gallon on bleach and think that it would cure all diseases. Jocelyn...there’s nothing a lot to say about you because the writers don’t want to give you a proper episode but you’re pretty much a follower, that’s all I can say. Though someone should really give her an episode focusing on her at any time. And then there’s Tammy...a lot to say about her. But I think it’s best for once I reach to their discussions, now that we’re in the offseason, and thank god for that because out of the 16 characters in the Wagstaff school variety, them, along with Rudy and the twins, appeared on the show the most. And Courtney and Darryl, their discussions earlier this year, they’re no walk in the park, and no, I’m not updating the whole damn thing after the release of those articles.
Did I mention that Tina is the only Belcher sibling to not have a best friend? Yeah, let that sink in. Louise got a best friend in Rudy and a friend group with him, the Pesto Twins, and possibly Jessica and Megan with Millie (and also Kaylee) being in the pending status. Gene got Alex as a best friend and got Courtney to form his little friend group, in which we should’ve got that...too bad that Middleditch decided to be a total fucking dumbass and put a dent in the idea. Tina...the closest to a friend group are those four guys and even then, looking at this part of the episode, it looks like she might be regretting the notion of being around them. I mean, fuck...
Either one of these three, Becky Krespe, Dillon, Susmita, would’ve fit the bill in being Tina’s best friend. Having to form a group of her own, for the love of sweet Christ?! Let Tina have a friend group of her own that doesn’t treat her like total crap. Sure, there’s also the likes of Henry Haber and Darryl to fit into the group, but still, the crew are acting like total cowards in giving Tina a proper group but nope, have to follow the script because fuck everyone’s thoughts and opinions. So once the lunch hour is finished, the four decided to have plans tonight in continuing playing the dumb game and even thinking of somewhat inviting Tina to God knows where, but she has to opt-out because it is movie night with her dad and ends up getting trounced. But that all changes when Tina brings up the one card pulled out from the decks when thinking of inviting them to tag along to watch the film despite being a father/daughter movie night. But what’d you expect? Girl’s at an age where she rather is with her friends than her family. Even if it means intervening with plans with your dad that was already scheduled for...well, the start of the episode.
Setting up shop for the subplot for the episode as Bob and Linda do their job over at the restaurant in making food with Bob heading to the back of the restaurant in the alleyway where he noticed some issues that happened regarding the dumpster like a freaking tornado just came in out of nowhere overnight and try to clean up the whole mess while also trying to find out who or what may have caused the mess, but that looks like that’s going to have to wait as Bob and Linda begin to clean up because if they head back inside and leave the mess behind, it would attract raccoons to come into the alleyway and make matters worse. Though Linda did took offense in what Bob said regarding the raccoons because she (and Teddy) enjoy raccoon watching. The joys of living in an apartment building that also houses a burger restaurant by the shore. Just as Bob and Linda pick up the pieces and begin stomping on the items in hopes for it to fit into the dumpster and wait for the dump truck to arrive, the kids enter the stage, back from school, with Tina telling Bob that she invited Jimmy Jr, Zeke, Tammy, and Jocelyn for the father/daughter movie night with them. Though take a look at Bob when hearing the news. It almost feels like he was about to enjoy a night out and bond with his eldest daughter and watching an old-time film from possibly the 1970s that is happened to be rated R, but when Tina invited her friends along for the ride, even if it’s only for one night, you know that it’s going to be a long night ahead for him. Although as we get to later in the episode, it’s going to be the opposite regarding Tina.
Once we reach towards Game Night, aka Movie Night with the father and daughter duo featuring four of her friends for the ride, with Tina and Bob gearing up by adding some finishing touches in the makeup department as Bob describes their characters that they’re cosplaying on their way to the movie theater with Tina trying to explain to Bob that maybe things aren’t going to be bad, even if it’s for one night. By the way, Bob dresses up as a background character who got a few lines and then dies. Hey, background characters need love too, you know. It’s a community that needed people’s attention for only a dollar a month. Might as well make an ASPCA commercial with that while Sarah McLachlan’s In the Arms of an Angel, I know that’s NOT the title of the song, but you’ll get the idea. Did I mention that it’s going to be a long night for Bob?
Yeah, it’s really gonna be a long night ahead for him when driving himself, Tina, Jimmy Jr, Zeke, Tammy, and Jocelyn on their way to the theaters with them being distracting with Jimmy Jr alerting him over a traffic light, Zeke asking him about his costume, and Tammy and Jocelyn, onto Tina, about the whole plot with the movie they’re about to see. Once they arrived at the movie theaters, the kids think that Bob would drop them off and wander off since they’re at the movies. Friends hanging out and such, but because the movie they’re about to see is rated R, you gotta need an adult with you in order to see it. Much a grin to wanting to play games on the arcade, but you need a kid with you, and your only token to get through the gates is having your young nephew or niece with you. Though they gonna need to have Bob around in hopes to get to an R-rated film like with the film of the same name as the episode.
Once inside, they get confronted by Dominic, the movie theater worker who we last seen last season when it comes to anything Hawk & Chick related with Hawk taking a film from screening over an actor that has few lines but fears that his time in the limelight could be done-zo. Bob talks to Dominic as some sort of apology, not for what happened last season with the whole Hawk issue, but more of them, along with other people in costume, ready to make a mess in the screening room during the film that it’ll make the cleanup process into a nightmare. Just as everyone is making their way to the screening room where the movie will be held, of course, it ain’t a visit to the movies without getting some snacks and drinks because it looks like it’s really going to be a long night ahead for either one. Though knowing concession stands and movie theaters, not to mention them originally planning on doing that dumb drink or not drink challenge, they might as well do that than doing the movie.
Hence to Bob and Tina entering the screening room and preparing to watch the movie as she starts to become concerned about the whereabouts of her four friends not being present in the same room. Oh jeez, I wonder what kept them from entering the room and sitting next to you and Bob? Hmm...I wonder why? But as Tina begins to show concerns over why her friends didn’t appear on the stage, the movie begins to take place with the beginning of the film showcasing a guy in a onesie, possibly pajamas, walking to a barn and tells the main lead in the film, a guy in overalls that almost looks like Jimmy Jr, noting the hairline. By the way, if you thought that four of Tina’s friends would end up in costume in the episode? Hate to break it to you, it didn’t happen. Did not happen. Gotta leave that to the fan artists during the offseason for that. One can dream. Anyway, the beginning of the film shows the barn owner screaming at the main lead about the noise he’s making and continues on as a sign of him doing whatever he wants. Causing the audience, including Bob, to make some sounds to follow along. All while Tina is going owl hunting, only replace the owl with four of her friends.
Onto later in the movie with Tina continuing to be concerned over where her friends are at like it’s almost becoming a game of Where’s Waldo where you have the main lead doing on the dance floor where she meets one of the vampires that Tina cosplayed as walking up to him. And at first...knowing this, again, thought that this could tie in with the idea of Tina’s friends in costumes like in the movie and really pushing the narrative, but again, that idea didn’t become reality. Other than that, everyone but Tina is getting into the groove of the music in the film to the point where it’s starting to get steamy. So steamy that once this episode airs on ITV2 over in the UK, prepare to have some cuts because airing it in the watershed block is considered a stupid idea from the start. And to the point where there’s one scene that distracted Tina regarding the main lead taking his overalls off. Think it’s to the point where we kind of missed that on the show. Back when it was somewhat raunchy in the earlier seasons. Tina decided to break away from the film and decided to say that she’s tired of waiting and head on out to find her friends who went MIA and missing out on the movie.
This leads to the next scene to start the third act of the episode with Tina finally found them over at the stairway that leads to the storage room where she sees Jimmy Jr, Zeke, Tammy, and Jocelyn with drinks in their hands...doing the drink or don’t drink challenge. It’s like it never left from their system. Like...guys...leave the trend alone for once?! It’s not that fucking hard. Tina gets forced to tag along thanks to Jimmy Jr handing her his cup, despite that there’s backwash on the damn straw. Don’t get any idea, Tina/Jimmy Jr shippers. I know that things are slowly starting to get back to normal, but...no. No. That is someone’s spit on the plastic. I mean Gene licked each of the scoops that he got from Louise, Alex, Courtney, and Rudy in Season 9 despite that their tongues touched the scoops...the same scoops that they combined onto Louise’s cone and give it to him without warning. So Tina starts following along, due to peer pressure (figures) with Bob, transitioning to the screening room for a while and showing some concern over Tina missing out on the film before enjoying the film once again, but once she does that and everyone guessing whether if she’s drinking or not drinking, again, a very stupid trend, until she decided to stop doing it and at least drag her friends to watch the remainder of the movie with Bob and it looks like they have no other choice but to watch the film.
Remember when we all thought that Bob would be the one who would receive a bad night over what Tina is doing in bringing her friends along to watch the movie? Well, it looks like Bob is really enjoying it despite not having his daughter around for most of the movie, and instead, it’s Tina who is having a rough night and begins to realize that bringing her friends along might be a terrible idea to come up with. Whether being Tammy and Jocelyn whispering loudly during the whole film over which character is a vampire, revealing that every character is one, and to the point where it irks the fuck out of Tina. But why stop there? Because it looks like Tammy and Jocelyn disrupting isn’t the only issue that Tina had to endure while watching the film because playing around with Zeke’s bag of gummy bears and Jimmy Jr tagging like five-year-old kids messing around with paint on paper. And even later on when the drink/don’t drink game rear its ugly head and that’s where Tina decided to say enough and finally say that she regrets the notion of having them along to watch the film with her and Bob. To the point where the film has to hit the pause button and grabbing the attention of the movie usher, causing Tina to storm off with Bob following her to try and calm her down. So yeah...
Movie night turns into a disaster. Again, thought it would be more on Bob because knowing the facial expression and how he reacted to Tina bringing Jimmy Jr, Zeke, Tammy, and Jocelyn along, I thought it would be a very long night for him because he wanted to bond with his daughter. But instead, it’s Tina who brought them along and thought that she would use the movie night, despite that it was only tailor-made for both her and Bob to bond and treating the night like she’s taking care of four rowdy dogs running around the house and making a fucking mess while the owner is out for the night. So yeah, Tina’s night turned into a total shitshow with Bob thinking that it’s best to take Tina home following what happened, much a grin to what happened with Gene back in “The Laser-inth” when he suffered through sensory overload when watching the laser rock show for the first time with Bob wanting to take Gene home but refused because it’s his day and he doesn’t want to ruin it. Think we got it again for this week’s season finale, only replace the laser light show with a movie and sensory overload with four rowdy kids...that Tina now regrets on bringing them along. And I know that people may think that this episode might be hit or miss, on the range towards average. Maybe the weakest to close out the season where the second half went down the shitter. While that may or may not be true regarding how the episode performed, there are some average or even bad episodes that offered something good, not in a way of like a Hail Mary to save it, but something to present like it’s the center of a hurricane. Case in point...
Where Bob tries to comfort Tina following the disaster that she may or may not caused by bringing her friends along and would rather do something else than watching the film, you have Bob coming in and telling her about his first time watching the film. Revealing that he came to the theater by himself, pretty much in Tina’s shoes over wanting to find his group that he could hang out with. Being alone and surrounded by people who he doesn’t even know, but as the film progresses, he finally realizes that he’s not alone. He found his people and it’s over a film. And that sorta ties in with Tina’s issue in fitting into a friend group of her own at the beginning of the episode and thinking that it’s a good idea to bring them along to the theaters as some sort of way for them to bond...despite that it turned into a disaster.
I mean, take a look at what happened in last season’s finale for example with Kaylee when revealing her real intentions of why she wants to be pulled out of Wagstaff and why she came to Louise on pulling a prank because she thinks that she doesn’t fit in. She had trouble making some friends or having a friend group of her own. Took till the end of that episode for her to join the Thinkgineers and finally found her people. But other than that, back to the present, back to this week’s episode, Bob encourages her that she’ll find her people sooner or later. Hopefully, the ones that don’t treat her like crap and being thrown under the bus, but she’ll get there...but because of status quo and shit, that is going to take a massive while. Possibly until the end of time. And rather than heading back to the screening room where the movie is at over the part where you have everyone in the audience have to dance and both Tina and Bob have to do the dance, though they have to listen through the muffled sounds from outside. Which honestly, after a very long night coming from Tina’s side of things, I think it’s for the best, but at least we get some quality father/daughter bonding, so that’s something.
But it looks like the night may not be a disaster, even though it kinda is throughout the whole event with Tina dragging her friends along in hopes to form a friend group of her own, on their way back home, it reveals that after following Tina storming out from the theaters and Bob chasing after her is where Jimmy Jr, Zeke, Tammy, and Jocelyn somehow enjoyed the movie despite them not paying attention or even looking at it while Tina was present. While sure, they do have some issues with the costumes in the film, there were some parts in the film that they liked from the dance scenes, which almost feels like it was tailor-made for Jimmy Jr, to the part where you have a ton of bats carrying a disco ball into town. But other than that, of course, gotta throw in a little shade from Tina regarding Tammy’s statement at the end of the episode, but other than that, despite that the night did not go the way it was supposed to be, it wasn’t that bad of a night for Tina. Still think that she deserves better, but I guess we might as well considered that as baby steps. Nothing more. But it could worse...at least you’re not Linda, Gene, and Louise in their subplot.
So while Bob, Tina, and the rest of Tina’s supposed little crew went out to see a film that isn’t ruined by the Twilight saga, Linda, Louise, and Gene decided to go behind Bob’s back over serving raccoons food over at the alleyway and say, “fuck it, we’re doing it anyway,” with Linda cooking up some spaghetti and hoping to turn the night into something you see coming from Lady and the Tramp. Because you have a spaghetti dinner, it’s at night, and you have to serve it to animals. Though who wants to tell that not everything is a Disney movie. Especially if the dickheads over there can finally reveal when the freaking movie is about to come out and hopefully doesn’t end up in streaming as the last option. Yes, we’re still salty about that, thanks for asking.
The kids and Linda set up shop over at the alleyway with Louise pretending that she’s the god of all things fire she thinks that she’s Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender and head onto hiding behind the dumpster along with Linda and Gene with his keyboard on his arms as they wait for the raccoons to arrive at the scene. And they did...
And they arrive, the return of Little King Trashmouth, Baby Pudding Snatcher, and Gary as they crawl their way to the table that Linda set up with the three plates of spaghetti waiting for them and finally arrived at their destination and gobbling it up. And man, they are gobbling the food up hard and fast, thus putting somewhat of a smile onto Linda’s face as Gene plays some music as a background...oh you thought that the subplot would end right there? Nah, bitch. We ain’t ending it with a happy ending because that’s not how we roll in the show.
Let’s have three raccoons fight and ready to tear each other apart with one of them going over the table and knocked the candle onto the paper and setting ablaze while going all Mike Tyson on the other raccoon. You know, that fight where Tyson bit off a piece of the ear of Evander Holyfield during a match. Hopefully, no animals were harmed in the making of the episode, but tell that to the raccoons who are going at it and about to rip each other’s throats off. Causing Linda, Louise, and Gene to be concerned about what’s to go down. Mostly Linda since this is about raccoons. Did I mention that the subplot went by a little too fast? No? Well, it is. It went by a little too fast that it may have downplayed the episode. So how does this get resolved? Well...
While the three are watching three raccoons about to kill each other and about to turn it into a murder investigation ready to happen with Linda, Gene, and Louise try to find a way to solve the issue. Scaring them with fire is one solution to get rid of the raccoons, though I don’t think that setting the house on fire would be considered a good idea. And that’s coming from Gene before Linda decided to take matters into her own hands. Yeah, take the advice of burning the house down from someone who accidentally burned down a kitchen earlier in the season. I mean, it’s the end of the season, so might as well go ahead. Make a clean slate and start over once the Fall arrives with Season 12. But that’s not what Linda would follow, especially in burning the house down once Bob and Tina make their return from the movies, but instead...she already went behind Bob’s back in serving food to the raccoons. And it looks like she might have a two-for-one special in going behind her husband’s back regarding the situation she’s facing right now and that is to open the dumpster for them to crawl their way to create a mess. I think we may now know who or what caused the mess earlier in the episode, but it looks like that might never be solved. So I guess the raccoons are most likely the cause for the mess earlier. Though you see a table there and unless this is either a flashback (which is not) or some asshole try to find a place to dump the table and chairs and dumpster outside of the Belcher residence might be the only place to do so...out of almost every dumpster in town. But other than that, the subplot had a lot of disasters and was expected. But also went a tad too fast.
Reaction/Thoughts:
So all and all, what do I think about this week’s season finale of Bob’s Burgers. Honestly, it’s a good, if not, alright episode to close out the season where its second half went down to the shitter and ends up clogging up the plumbing and waiting for the plumber to come, but oh wait, we can’t because we might as well make fixing the toilets a “you’re on your own” issue. While the subplot has some, if not, a lot of issues with Linda opening up a mini-restaurant with the raccoons as ultra-predictable with the outcome. Not to mention this went by too quickly. The only good thing about the episode is the main plot.
Even though it’s a Bob and Tina episode and those are the kind of episodes that you have rarely seen on the show, it feels more like a Tina episode regarding her wanting to be a friend group. Of course, having the likes of Jimmy Jr, Zeke, Tammy, and Jocelyn...it’s the point where you kinda felt bad for her in not having a proper group of her own and possibly the type where she doesn’t feel like the only brain cell that make sense and hopefully doesn’t get thrown under the damn bus. I hope that Tina can get a better group in the future, but knowing the show with the lack of continuity, not to mention that because Jimmy Jr, Zeke, Tammy, and Jocelyn appear on the show more since the hay days of the series, looks like that’s not going to happen at any time soon. God, I hope Tina can get a proper friend group. Hopefully breaking the status quo and do something nice for the girl for once.
It was nice to see Bob caring for Tina after storming off from the theater after getting annoyed and regrets the notion of bringing them along and even brought that game, which again, is dumb. Bob telling her how he first watched the movie and feels like he doesn’t fit in with a group of people that he doesn’t know, but took an entire screening to think to himself that he feels like he found his people. I mean, you could name some examples from the previous seasons, mostly with the last season with Kaylee when she had trouble in finding a friend group of her own.
Again, I know that people are going to say that this episode ended on a weak note in what is pretty much a weak season, but don’t forget that wherever, whenever there’s an episode that is average, sometimes bad, there are some good bits. I do enjoy that little moment with Bob and Tina with Bob telling his first experience in the film. And I get that people are getting sick of the heartfelt moments on the show to the point where they end up dropping the show altogether, but this one I don’t mind. I mean...we all been there in wanting to be a social circle much like with Bob when he first the movie and now with Tina, which I swear she needs to find a proper group that doesn’t treat her like crap, but for now, we’re pretty much trapped with because status quo. But for now, it’s baby steps. But knowing the show, that wonderful fucker known as the reset button...the show loves to abuse the fuck out of it.
Nothing to say about the subplot despite that it went by so fast and predictable with Linda running a mini-restaurant which ended in disaster. The only highlight being Louise thinking that she rules the fire element that I think he found what she’s going to dress up for Halloween as Flame Princess. But final thoughts on the season finale, it was a good, if not, alright episode. The main plot is pretty much the highlight of the episode. Thought it was going to be Bob who would be having a rough, but instead, it’s Tina with her friends irking the fuck out of her during the visit to the movie theaters and regretting the notion of inviting them, only to turn out that the night isn’t a total disaster unlike with Linda’s side of things with the raccoons. So I’ll give “Vampire Disco Death Dance”...
A 7 out of 10. I think that might be a reasonable score to give the episode a 7 out of 10. So that’s the score I’ll give for this week’s episode of Bob’s Burgers. Adding into the ratings for this season, dividing by the number of episodes we got, which is twenty-two, so the final score...
A 6.5 out of 10 for Season 11. Yeah...the season has some issues. Of course, I had to revise some of the scores (mostly on lowering some episodes) to get the score, but other than that, the season has some issues, and I would say that Season 12 would do a better job...hate to break it for you, we’re now in a downward trend. We’re now in a bottomless pit and never turning back. I wish I were joking, but that happened to long-running series. But God forbid if it turns into the same levels of modern-day Simpsons. This is where we all have to take a word of caution for future episodes in future seasons. Guess we’ll wait and see for Comic-Con in July for updates and what to expect for Season 12 in September.
But other than that, another season comes to a close. Entering a four-month hiatus for the Summer break. Don’t know what to do throughout those times, unless it's regarding updates for Comic-Con, to keep things active despite that I’ve been working my ass off and I need some much-needed rest. I might continue the character discussions over at Weebly and Blogger sites, so WordPress readers, you go do that. Follow me over at Tumblr, Twitter, and Instagram for updates and other stuff throughout the next four months. And speaking of the next four months...

Survived through a shit year known as 2020, lots of scheduling conflicts from the network, an ice storm that crippled the state, and moved to a new location. So I wanna thank everyone for approaching this page and wasted their time to read the stuff that I can come up with, and I hope to do it again for Season 12 in the Fall. Hopefully, that doesn’t bite me right in the ass which I feel like it will. And until the Fall, or sometime July with Comic-Con, or soon with the character discussions and such, but until then, wash your hands, wear a mask, get vaccinated, stay safe, and I’ll see y’all later.
