On this episode of The Holiday Specials We Love,
we dive into Bob’s Burgers and its first-ever Thanksgiving special — An
Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal — the episode that launched an entire
holiday tradition.
We talk about the absurd brilliance of Bob’s devotion to
Thanksgiving, his meltdown over being separated from his beloved turkey, and how one too many sips of absinthe send him into a full-blown hallucination starring a talking bird named Lance. Kevin Kline chews the scenery as the landlord Calvin Fischoeder, Linda turns family chaos into theater, and the kids take their fake-family roles way too seriously — in the best possible way.
We also talk why this one works so well — the mix of heart, dysfunction, and total unhinged humor that Bob’s Burgers does better than anyone. It’s the perfect reminder that Thanksgiving doesn’t need to
be flawless to be special. Sometimes all it takes is family, food, and maybe a little absinthe.
