Out of all of the character’s on Bob’s Burgers, Linda Belcher is the one that often steals the show. While you may not want to admit to yourself right away that you are basically a spitting image of this quirky mom in the show, after reading this, you may reconsider. Here are 11 times Linda understood you on a deep emotional level.
1. When she tried a fad diet… and failed.
Like so many of us, Linda did her best to get that sexy bod she’s always wanted, and went to lengths to stay on track. We felt her pain when she came face to face with sweet birthday cake and gave in.
2. When she just desperately wanted a drink.
Linda’s a mother of three child hellions working in a restaurant all day. While we may not all have this same dilemma, we get the sentiment of just wanting that glass of wine at the end of the day.
3. And when she wasn’t willing to sacrifice that drink for anything.
That one episode where Linda was getting hit on by a creep and ruthlessly head-butted him… all to save the wine. Nobody is worth spilling wine over.
4. When she just couldn’t help but make a stupid pun.
All of our friends and family groan every time we do it, but sometimes it just feels right to make a stupid pun.
5. When she got a little bit of road rage.
We all have those moments of boiling frustration on the road sometimes. When Linda does, she puts it all out there unapologetically, and throws in another pun.
6. When she just let the music move her.
Everybody has that one song they can’t help but dance to. For Linda that just so happens to be every song.
7. And then she made her own music just for the hell of it.
If you’ve ever had a moment singing alone in your kitchen about washing the dishes, you’re not alone. One of the best things about Linda is she’s always got a song to spice up any occasion.
8. When she didn’t care what anyone thought about her sex life.
Linda is always down for a little tango in the sheets, and speaks about it openly and freely. And that’s pretty cool.
9. …Even if it was a little weird.
10. When she was supportive of her family, no matter how strange.
Whether it’s a friend’s weird obsession with a TV character, or a family member’s hobby of writing Freaky Friend Fiction all about butts… we all want to be as supportive as Linda.
11. When she spoke her mind to people who wronged her.
Who hasn’t wanted to tell someone rude to shove it? Linda does every time, and damn we love that about her because no matter what you can count on Linda to just be herself.
And who doesn’t want that in their life?
