Bob's Burgers

Bob's Burgers is an American adult animated sitcom created by Loren Bouchard and Dan Povenmire that premiered on Fox on January 9, 2011. The series centers on the Belchers – parents Bob and Linda, and their children Tina, Gene, and Louise – who run a hamburger restaurant. The family also owns a pet platypus, Perry, who works as a spy for a spy agency named OWCA to defeat the latest scheme of Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, a mad scientist driven largely by a need to assert his evilness. Sometimes, other villains scoff at his level of evil.

The show was conceived by Bouchard and Povenmire after they developed Home Movies. It is produced and distributed in association with 20th Century Fox Television.

Belcher Family

 * Robert "Bob" Belcher, Jr. (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin) is the husband of Linda; the father of Tina, Gene, and Louise; the son of Robert Belcher, Sr. (nicknamed "Big Bob"); and the main character of the series. He is a second-generation restaurant owner, as his father owns a diner, and currently the proprietor of his eponymous burger restaurant (Bob's Burgers) in a shore town. Bob has a tendency to entertain himself by having conversations with inanimate objects and then speak back as the inanimate object, usually in a high, squeaky voice.
 * Linda Belcher (voiced by John Roberts) is Bob's happy-go-lucky and supportive wife and the mother of Tina, Gene, and Louise. Prior to her marriage to Bob, she was engaged to Hugo, who is now a local health inspector. In the fifth-season episode "Eat, Spray, Linda" she turned forty-four years old. She has also referred to herself as a "pre middle aged mother". Linda often calls her husband Bobby, and her attraction to Bob is in part due to his passion for his work, and also due to his "Tom Selleckian" mustache. She remains a loyal and devoted wife despite their frequent financial problems and never having had a honeymoon or a day off in 10 years.
 * Tina Ruth Belcher (voiced by Dan Mintz) is the eldest Belcher child. She was said to be autistic in the first episode, but the claim was immediately dismissed by her parents. She generally speaks in a low, monotone voice, works part-time at the family restaurant, and is often the voice of reason among the Belcher children, though it is made quite clear Tina's own characteristics rival those of her siblings. She is trying to come to grips with her entry into adulthood, and claims to have a complicated relationship with zombies. She is obsessed with horses, boys (particularly Jimmy Jr.), and buttocks; in various episodes she writes in her journal about touching people's butts, which, to her, is the height of sexual contact.
 * Eugene "Gene" Belcher (voiced by Eugene Mirman) is the middle child and only son of the family, revealed to be 11 years old in season 3. Like his mother, he has a very enthusiastic attitude about almost everything; however, he closely resembles his father and shares Bob's allergy to lobster. He often promotes the restaurant by wearing a burger costume, which he uses to run in a mascot race in the season 1 episode "Torpedo" and using a toy megaphone to hand out samples. Gene has a variety of interests, the biggest being food and music. Though he has no training, he occasionally demonstrates great skill in music and dreams of one day being a famous musician.
 * Louise Belcher (voiced by Kristen Schaal) is the youngest of the Belcher siblings and is revealed to be 9 years old in season 1. She is still 9 by Christmas five seasons later. In spite of being the youngest, she usually dominates her two older siblings by "wear[ing] down your self esteem over a period of years." Precociously intelligent, manipulative, and aggressive (even towards adults), she is more than willing to exploit people if there is anything to be gained. She has an offbeat and dark sense of humor and picks locks as a hobby. Louise always wears her signature pink hat with bunny ears, regardless of the time of day or situation; to date, viewers have never seen her uncovered head.
 * Perry AKA Agent P (vocal effects by Dee Bradley Baker) is the Belcher family's pet platypus. Perry is featured as the star of the B-Plot for all but one episode of the series alongside the villains who faces in the episode, at last he pretend to destroy Phineas and Ferb creations (if they appear). He is a primarily silent character, with the only noises being the occasional rattling of his bill.

Belcher Family's Neighbors

 * Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher (voiced by Vincent Martella and Thomas Sangster, respectively) - are two stepbrothers who attempt to avoid boredom by finding something new to do every day of the summer vacation. For this mean they enlist the help of the Belcher children and other neighbors. Unlike the other children of Seymours' Bay, Phineas and Ferb are taught in their house as opposed of Wagstaff School as they are considered child prodigies, much to their sister Candace's dismay.
 * Candace Flynn (voiced by Ashley Tisdale) is Phineas's fifteen-year-old older sister and Ferb's stepsister and the occasional friend of Tina. Candace does not approve of the inventions her brothers create then she hates their creations, and in most episodes she attempts to "bust her brothers" by showing their mom. Candace also has an obvious crush on Jimmy Jr.
 * Lawrence Fletcher (voiced by Richard O'Brien) is the father of Ferb and stepfather of Phineas and Candace. Lawrence sells antiques, is from the United Kingdom and is portrayed like a sitcom dad as being scatterbrained and unaware of what is going on. He is a good friend of Bob and the Belcher family and a frequent client of Bob's Burgers.
 * Linda Flynn-Fletcher (voiced by Caroline Rhea) is the mother of Phineas and Candace and stepmother of Ferb. Unaware of the large-scale projects that Phineas and Ferb create on a daily basis, Candace often drags her away from other interests in an attempt to get the boys in trouble. Each creation is somehow destroyed or eliminated moments before she arrives leaving Candace dumbfounded and Linda once more reluctant to believe Candace the next time. She was also a one-hit attractive actress known as "Lindana" with her song, "I'm Lindana and I Wanna Have Fun".
 * Teddy Francisco (voiced by Larry Murphy) is a talkative contractor, who is the Belchers neighbor, a loyal and regular customer of the Belcher family restaurant, and a close family friend to them. He loves the Belchers and wants to be part of their family. Long-winded at times, he enjoys telling stories. Bob's burgers seem to be among his favorite foods, if not his absolute favorite, but have caused him health problems that his doctor wants him to get under control. Teddy participates in on-going therapy sessions, as he can have small yelling outbursts for no reason. He was attractive and physically fit enough in his youth to be cast as a lifeguard in a 1980s exploitation movie filmed at Wonder Wharf, but it took such a psychological toll on him that he resorted to eating and turned into the man he is today.
 * Mort (voiced by Andy Kindler) is the owner of the "It's Your Funeral" funeral home next to the restaurant and also a regular customer of Bob's Burgers. He is a little odd and has a stereotypically morbid sense of humor. He is good friends with Bob and Teddy, and he has cared for the Belcher children and acted as the Belcher family driver when Tina crashed Bob's car. He has a good sense of humor about the macabre questions to which he is often subjected.

Wagstaff School

 * Baljeet Tjinder (voiced by Maulik Pancholy) is Louise's friend and her classmate at Wagstaff School. He wears blue overalls, despite being in grade school. A shy, intellectual, and polite boy who moved to Seymours' Bay from India, he often helps the Belchers with his ideas and displays his knowledge of algebra and trivia. He also has a compulsive need to get good grades.
 * Isabella Garcia-Shapiro (voiced by Alyson Stoner) is a Jewish Mexican girl. She is one of Louise's best friends and has an obvious crush on Phineas Flynn of which he is unaware, though he has shown he cares for her from time to time. She is known for the catchphrase, "Whatcha doin'?" and is the leader of the Fireside Girls troop 46231.
 * Choo-Choo (voiced by Brian Posehn) is a student at Wagstaff School and Gene's nemesis. He constantly annoys Gene whenever he tells a joke by saying the punchline before him. He first appeared in "Spaghetti Western and Meatballs" and got his name for saying "choo choo" every time he got into a fight.

Other

 * Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz (voiced by Dan Povenmire) is a mad scientist appearing in all but one episode's B-Plots thus far. He is the father to teenage Vanessa Doofenshmirtz and is the head of his own company, Doofenshmirtz Inc. Depending on the episode, Dr. Doofenshmirtz's main goal is to either destroy or rule Seymour's Bay, New Jersey which was suggested to him as a starting point before trying to take over the world. Routinely bumbling, incompetent, and forgetful, almost all of Doofenshmirtz's plans—always involving various gadgets and inventions—have been thwarted by Perry. After most defeats, he shouts his catchphrase, "Fuck you, Perry the Platypus!"
