Bobs Burgersis probably one of the best adult animation shows to ever exist.
The show is smart, witty and full of heart.
From the quirky characters to the sensational voice acting,Bob’s Burgerstruly has it all.
One of the most loved qualities of the show is its clever pop culture references and classic movie homages.
The formula felt veryBreakfast Club-esque, and audiences were excited to see a homage to an iconic 80s movie.
So it was a shame when the episode veered off course and became aProject Runwaystyle romp.

For that reason, this episode ranks low on this list.
It was slightly disappointing when Mr Frond announced his plan to get the kids competing in a fashion show.
When Louise comes down with a nasty flu, she falls head first into a crazy fever dream.

This lays the foundation for thisWizard Of Ozthemed episode.
We do have Louise traveling to a magical land through a tornado made out of her rug.
But besides that, there really isnt much to connect here.

Its a shame, because it would have been nice to see nods to the famous movie.
There could have been a yellow road, or some red shoes.
The songs are also quite forgettable in the episode, which is very surprising for the show.

The Oeder Games (The Hunger Games)
This homage was a little more subtle.
Sounds very likeThe Hunger Games.
You cannot deny the fun this episode exudes!
Image via FOX
Its a brilliant season finale for many reasons.
Bob shines as the central figure, and we get appearances by all of our favorite supporting characters!
Louise, of course, bases her essay onThe Terminator, with Mr Frond as the titular cyborg.

Gene writes about a performingfartsschool from the 80s akin to the one inRock and Roll High School.
Except this one ends with her dating a basketball team of Zombies.
Each story has a different style.

Its the battle of the movie musicals, who will win:Die HardorWorking Girl?
This episode uses its source material to enhance its own story.
Every character is in their element.

Tina betrays her own brother to star in the rival musical because Jimmy Jr is in it.
Louise capitalizes off of her brothers art by charging people $5 at the door.
And finding out Gene has been writing aDie Hardmusical for years madeperfectsense for his character!

The Taking Of Funtime One Two Three (Oceans Eleven)
Bobs Burgersreally delivered with theirOceans Elevenhomage.
The references are on point in this episode.
You have the montage of the siblings assembling their perfect team.

You have the rundown of the heist scene.
The parallels dont just stop there though.
We get to see the group as they wrestle with booby traps.
We meet a Sloth-like character in the form of Taffy, the taffy-shaped model of a man.
They even managed to bring inCyndi Lauperto sing their end credit song!
Truthfully though, it seems that it’s lovingly paying homage to both.
Whichever way you look at it, this episode is a hilarious riff on two classic movies.
The Outdoor Toilet (E.T.
The Extra-Terrestrial)
It seemsBobs Burgershas an affinity for 80s movies.
This episode truly commits to the wonder of the 80s classicE.T.
With a whimsical score, a strong theme of friendship and stereotypical grown-up villains.
