Lista de personajes de Bob's Burgers

Bob's Burgers es una comedia animada estadounidense creada por Loren Bouchard para Fox Broadcasting Company . Se centra en la familia Belcher (los padres Bob y Linda y sus tres hijos, Tina, Gene y Louise), que dirigen un restaurante de hamburguesas y suelen vivir aventuras de todo tipo. Esta es una lista de personajes de la serie de televisión animada; los personajes principales aparecen primero.

La familia Belcher es una familia que dirige el negocio familiar llamado Bob's Burgers. Loren Bouchard describió su origen étnico de la siguiente manera:

Para bien o para mal, les pusimos a los personajes principales el nombre de Belcher para que al menos uno de los padres de Bob sea de ascendencia francesa o francocanadiense. Pero en un mundo perfecto, tendríamos una serie sobre una especie de políglota griego-armenio-italiano-judío-alemán. ^[1]

La familia Belcher está formada por:

Robert "Bob" Belcher Jr. (con la voz de H. Jon Benjamin ) es el personaje principal de la serie. Es hijo de Robert Belcher Sr. (apodado "Big Bob") y Lily Belcher, esposo de Linda y padre de Tina, Gene y Louise. Es un restaurador de tercera generación y actualmente propietario de su restaurante de hamburguesas homónimo (Bob's Burgers) en un pueblo costero. El episodio de la quinta temporada " Father of the Bob " comienza con un flashback ambientado 30 años antes en el que un joven Bob afirma que tiene 14 años, lo que lo convierte en 44 hasta el episodio "The Laser-inth", en el que cumple 45 y luego nuevamente en el episodio "¿Estás ahí Bob? Soy yo, cumpleaños", donde cumple 46 años. El episodio también menciona que la madre de Bob, Lily, murió antes del comienzo de la serie. Como se revela en " Bob despide a los niños ", su infancia ha sido descrita como "de mierda", ya que su padre lo desalentaba a jugar. Sin embargo, en la película The Bob's Burgers , da a entender que le encantaba pasar tiempo con su madre, ya que ella lo llevaba a dar largos paseos. La madre de Bob no fue nombrada hasta el episodio de la temporada 13 "Show Mama From the Grave", donde los Belcher van a visitar su tumba.

Bob tiene tendencia a entretenerse conversando con objetos inanimados, principalmente comida, y luego responde como el objeto inanimado, generalmente con una voz aguda y chillona. También le gusta hacer juegos de palabras, usando este talento para nombrar sus especialidades de hamburguesas (por ejemplo, "If Looks Could Kale", "She's A Super Leek", "The Cauliflower's Cumin from Inside the House", etc.). Si bien es pobre en la gestión empresarial y está maldecido con una racha de mala suerte, sus habilidades para cocinar hamburguesas son excelentes; incluso el Sr. Fischoeder se ha referido a él como un "artista de la carne". Su principal rival comercial es Jimmy Pesto, quien posee un restaurante italiano (Jimmy Pesto's Pizzeria) al otro lado de la calle de Bob's Burgers. En el episodio " Moody Foodie ", se menciona que sus ojos son marrones.

Como se muestra en el flashback durante " El padre de Bob ", el especial de la hamburguesa del día surge de un incidente en el que personalizó una hamburguesa añadiéndole cebollino y crema agria, llamándola "Baby You Can Chive My Car". Intentó servírsela a uno de los clientes habituales de Big Bob que normalmente pedía una hamburguesa de atún derretido , pero Big Bob tiró la hamburguesa delante de todo el restaurante. Diez años después, todavía resentido por no poder cocinar como quería, Bob rechazó la oferta de Big Bob de asociarse en el restaurante y abrió su propio restaurante.

Bob se enorgullece de ofrecer al cliente una comida de calidad y hace un esfuerzo adicional para asegurarse de que al elegir ingredientes frescos que obtiene de los mercados de agricultores y cooperativas locales. Su mayor logro es el 'Meatsiah', un brebaje que consiste en un centro de steak tartar con una hamburguesa a medio cocinar que lo rodea y una hamburguesa Wellington que rodea la hamburguesa. Bob es alérgico a los mariscos, particularmente a la langosta , ya que hace que su cara se hinche cada vez que lo come. Esto es un problema, ya que la ciudad costera donde viven los Belcher tiene un festival anual de langosta (que Bob odia porque le quita dinero a su negocio). Bob, junto con Linda, disfruta de beber y muchos de los gags del episodio involucran a Bob o Linda emborrachándose, generalmente con vino . Bob también tiene una tendencia a tomar sustancias que alteran la mente como el crack en " Sheesh! Cab, Bob? ", absenta en " An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal ", analgésicos en " Housetrap " y su medicación para el dolor en " Burgerboss ".

Bob es un chef alto, barrigón y moreno. Tiene calvicie de patrón masculino y un bigote tupido (que es lo que inicialmente atrajo a su prometida). Tiene piel aceitunada y un flequillo con plumas que le cae sobre la frente. Viste una camiseta gris claro de manga corta que suele llevar con un delantal blanco con un bolsillo en el pecho del que sobresale un bolígrafo; pantalones de chef gris oscuro y zuecos de cocina negros con calcetines blancos en la parte superior, cerca de donde terminan los pantalones.

Linda "Lin" Belcher (de soltera Genarro) (con la voz de John Roberts ) es la despreocupada y comprensiva esposa de Bob y la madre de Tina, Gene y Louise. Antes de casarse con Bob, estaba comprometida con Hugo, que ahora es inspector de salud local (" Human Flesh "). En el episodio de la temporada 5 " Eat, Spray, Linda " cumplió 44 años. También se ha referido a sí misma como una "madre pre-de mediana edad" (" Lindapendent Woman "). En las primeras temporadas, Linda usa su top de todos los días con un botón, mientras que en las temporadas más nuevas es un escote en V.

La atracción de Linda por Bob, a quien a menudo llama "Bobby", se debe en parte a su pasión por su trabajo y también a su bigote " a lo Tom Selleckiano ". Linda sigue siendo una esposa leal y devota a pesar de sus frecuentes problemas financieros y de no haber tenido nunca una luna de miel ni un día libre en 10 años (" Fin de semana en Mort's "). Tiene preferencia por los bigotes y dice que Bob "se puso feo" cuando se lo afeitó ("¡ Caramba! ¿Tab, Bob? "). Sus pasiones incluyen cantar, el teatro con cena, las figuras de porcelana para bebés, Tom Selleck , las novelas románticas de temática náutica y el yoga prenatal. Se encarga de la contabilidad del restaurante, aunque sus métodos de contabilidad son demasiado complicados. Le gusta el alcohol y se sabe que dice que "mamá no se emborracha; simplemente se divierte".

Linda es extrovertida, tiene un marcado acento de Nueva Jersey ^[2] y le gusta abordar los problemas utilizando métodos poco convencionales, aunque sus métodos suelen ser demasiado optimistas y a veces las cosas salen mal. A menudo anima a sus hijos a participar en comportamientos que Bob encuentra molestos y, aunque quiere lo mejor para sus hijos, tiende a ser despistada. Bob la ha descrito como una "débil" porque permite que las personas (en particular los niños) se aprovechen de ella. Tiene una relación conflictiva con Louise y a menudo la malinterpreta, incluso una vez organizó una fiesta de pijamas para Louise en contra de su voluntad. Es una letrista talentosa, como se muestra en "Lil Hard Dad". Tiene una tendencia a ponerse a cantar espontáneamente, un rasgo que comparte con su actor de voz John Roberts. Muchas de las canciones por las que es conocida son improvisadas por Roberts, incluyendo su "Canción de Acción de Gracias", "Dish-a-Dee-Doo" (una cancioncilla jazzera cantada mientras se lavan los platos, como se ve en " Mother Daughter Laser Razor "), y una cancioncilla de trenzas de cabello que hace referencia al fallecido Harry Truman . Sus canciones son frecuentemente rehechas y musicalizadas para los créditos finales del episodio.

En las temporadas más nuevas, la boca de Linda estaba menos escondida en la introducción de la música temática que en las temporadas anteriores.

En el episodio de la temporada 12 "Sauce Side Story", se revela que el apellido de soltera de Linda es Genarro y que es de ascendencia italiana.

Ella tiene una amiga que sólo se menciona pero nunca se ve ni se escucha nada de ella, llamada Ginger.

Tina Ruth Belcher (con la voz de Dan Mintz ) es la hija mayor de los Belcher. Tiene 13 años. Generalmente habla en un tono masculino, usa anteojos, trabaja a tiempo parcial en el restaurante familiar y, a menudo, es la voz de la razón entre los niños Belcher. Sin embargo, se deja bastante claro que las características propias de Tina rivalizan con las de sus hermanos. Ella está tratando de afrontar su entrada en la edad adulta y afirma tener una relación complicada con los zombis . Por lo general, usa una camiseta de manga corta de color azul cielo; una falda lápiz corta de color azul marino; calcetines blancos con rayas rojas en la parte inferior; zapatillas negras con puntas blancas; y una horquilla amarilla en el lado derecho de su cabeza, que generalmente se pone con sus anteojos gruesos y de marco negro para ayudarla a ver mejor. Al igual que el resto de su familia de aspecto italiano, tiene cabello negro y piel aceitunada. También usa su cabello en un "corte bob" con rizos sueltos en las puntas. A pesar de parecer reticente y tímida con sus compañeros, Tina tiene una vida social y romántica activa. Tiene una relación intermitente con Jimmy Jr. y ha salido, besado o coqueteado con varios otros chicos. Está obsesionada con los caballos, los chicos (particularmente Jimmy Jr.) y las nalgas ; en varios episodios, escribe en su diario sobre tocar el trasero de las personas, lo que, para ella, es el colmo del contacto sexual. Según sus hermanos, ^[3] Tina ha escrito fanfiction erótico de varios programas de televisión y películas y ha pasado a la "ficción erótica de amigos", en la que utiliza personas de la vida real. Es miembro de Hormone-iums, una revista musical en Wagstaff que canta canciones sobre la pubertad, y anteriormente fue miembro de Thundergirls, una organización similar a las Girl Scouts . Tina tenía 12 años en los primeros episodios y ahora tiene 13 desde el episodio " Sheesh! Cab, Bob? ". En general, es de voz suave y reservada, a menudo en contraste con sus hermanos más estridentes. En las primeras etapas de desarrollo del programa, el hijo mayor de los Belcher fue escrito originalmente como un niño, ^[4] llamado Daniel Belcher, que también fue interpretado por Mintz, cuya personalidad en el piloto nunca transmitido se dice que fue similar a la de Tina. También se muestra que tiene dificultades con su trabajo escolar a pesar de trabajar duro en él, como se muestra en " Can't Buy Me Math " cuando la ponen en matemáticas de recuperación y " Bob and Deliver " cuando el consejero vocacional Sr. Frond se refiere a ella como una "tonta".

Eugene "Gene" Belcher (con la voz de Eugene Mirman ) es el hijo del medio y el único varón de la familia, y se revela que tiene 11 años en la temporada 3. ^[5] Al igual que Linda, tiene una actitud optimista y entusiasta sobre casi todo; sin embargo, se parece mucho a Bob y ha heredado su alergia a la langosta. A menudo promociona el restaurante vistiendo un disfraz de hamburguesa, que usa para correr en una carrera de mascotas en el episodio de la temporada 1 " Torpedo " y usando un megáfono de juguete para repartir muestras.

Gene tiene una variedad de intereses y pasatiempos, siendo los más conocidos la comida y la música. Aunque no tiene formación, ocasionalmente demuestra una gran habilidad en la música y aspira a ser músico ; le gusta tocar un teclado tipo Casio y hace sonidos de pedos usándolo, y crea un elaborado dueto de amor en " Topsy ", así como un espectáculo unipersonal en " Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl ". A pesar de esto, Gene no está exento de defectos, a saber, una tendencia a distraerse fácilmente, a lo que la familia se refiere como "Gene-ing out" en " Best Burger ", pero es cariñoso y leal con su familia. También es poco atlético, como se ve en varios episodios, incluido " Natación sincronizada ", cuando tiene problemas para abrir una puerta que Tina luego abre con facilidad y " Spaghetti Western and Meatballs ", cuando huye de una pelea con miedo. En " It Snakes a Village ", se muestra que sufre de miedo a las serpientes .

Gene tiene una tendencia ocasional a hacer dobles sentidos sexuales involuntariamente , que su padre Bob corrige o le dice que no repita, ^[6] a menudo amonestándolo simplemente diciendo, "Gene...". También le gusta hacer chistes y referencias a la cultura pop. Al igual que su padre y madre, tiene piel aceitunada y cabello negro oscuro. Tiene su cabello en un corte de tazón corto con largos mechones a cada lado de su cabeza. Lleva una camiseta de manga corta de color amarillo pálido, casi beige; un par de pantalones cortos de mezclilla azul claro ligeramente largos; calcetines blancos cortos; y, como su hermana mayor, zapatillas blancas y rojas.

Louise Belcher (con la voz de Kristen Schaal ) es la hija menor de la familia Belcher y se revela que tiene 9 años en la temporada 1 ^[7] y sigue teniendo 9 años en Navidad cinco temporadas después. ^[8] Por lo general, usa un vestido verde oliva de manga corta ligeramente debajo de las rodillas; zapatos negros planos tipo mary-jane; y un gorro rosa fuerte con orejas de conejo encima. Al igual que el resto de su familia de aspecto italiano, tiene cabello negro y piel aceitunada. Su cabello negro se asoma por su gran sombrero, exponiendo ligeramente las cintas para el cabello que sostienen sus coletas; sus cintas para el cabello amarillas en el frente cubiertas por los extremos largos de su sombrero de conejito junto con los herretes de su sombrero. Al igual que su madre y su hermana mayor, su cabello tiene rizos en las puntas, específicamente sus coletas tienen rizos en las puntas.

A pesar de ser la más joven, suele dominar a sus dos hermanos mayores "desgastando su autoestima a lo largo de los años". Precozmente inteligente, manipuladora y agresiva (incluso con los adultos), está más que dispuesta a explotar a las personas si hay algo que ganar, y tiene antecedentes de manipular a sus hermanos, especialmente a Tina.

Tiene un sentido del humor poco convencional y oscuro, y abre cerraduras como pasatiempo. Tiende a ser muy ruidosa y, a menudo, grita a todo pulmón para expresar sus ideas. Louise siempre usa su característico sombrero rosa con orejas de conejo, independientemente de la hora del día o la situación; hasta la fecha, los espectadores nunca han visto su cabeza descubierta. Ella afirma que tiene "una infección de estafilococo furiosa aquí abajo" en el episodio " Natación sincronizada " cuando intentan obligarla a quitárselo. En " Ear-sy Rider ", cuando un estudiante de secundaria le robó su sombrero, su cabeza estaba fuera de la pantalla, luego usó una sudadera con capucha hasta que lo recuperó.

En The Bob's Burgers Movie , ella cree que su sombrero la hace valiente y que lo consiguió para poder enfrentar el preescolar. Sin embargo, esto resulta ser falso, ya que lo consiguió después de su primer día de preescolar y que Linda lo hizo en honor a la madre de Bob, Lily, que a menudo usaba un gorro similar; aunque el sombrero de Louise tenía orejas de conejo agregadas debido a que Linda tenía tela adicional. Sin embargo, Louise no es inmune a romper su personalidad de personaje duro: llamó a Bob "papá" hasta los ocho años, se sintió culpable por casi electrocutar a su hermana, todavía cree en Santa Claus , tiene un enamoramiento inquietante por un miembro de una banda de chicos, se enamora de los cachorros y proclama al final de la temporada 4, frente a la muerte, que ama a su familia. Desde que era un bebé, a Louise siempre le ha gustado Bob más que Linda, optando por pasar más tiempo con él porque lo encuentra mucho más interesante; En general, se puede suponer que Louise y Bob tienen una relación muy fuerte, aunque ella es la más propensa entre sus hermanos a burlarse de él. En " Carpe Museum ", Louise revela accidentalmente su plan de hacerse cargo del restaurante familiar cuando Bob se jubile, después de cambiarle el nombre a "Louise's Burgers".

• Gayle Genarro (voz de Megan Mullally ): la hermana artista neurótica de Linda, la tía de Tina, Gene y Louise y la cuñada de Bob. A Bob no le gusta, para consternación de Linda. Ella está desesperadamente sola y una vez se enamoró de Bob porque, explica Linda, siempre quiere lo que Linda tiene. Sin embargo, los hombres a menudo se interesan en ella, incluidos el Dr. Yap, Mort, el Sr. Frond y el Sr. Fischoeder. Ama a los gatos y puede sufrir algún tipo de trastorno facticio , ya que a menudo finge lesiones.
• Al Genarro (voz de Sam Seder ): padre de Linda, suegro de Bob y abuelo materno de Tina, Gene y Louise. Rara vez habla, tiene problemas de audición y usa un audífono. Acompaña a Gloria a todas partes. Tiene un fetiche con las mujeres que inflan globos y luego se sientan sobre ellos hasta que explotan.
• Gloria Genarro (de soltera Rinaldi) (con la voz de Renée Taylor ): madre de Linda, suegra de Bob y abuela materna de Tina, Gene y Louise. A Bob no le gusta mucho y siempre intenta esconderse de ella cuando ella y Al vienen de visita. Ella convence a su marido de mudarse a una comunidad de jubilados swingers . Sus apariciones recientes validan la visión que Bob tiene de ella, ya que se la muestra constantemente exigente, ingrata e inmadura.
• Robert "Big Bob" Belcher Sr. (con la voz de H. Jon Benjamin en "Bob Fires the Kids", Bill Hader en "Father of the Bob", Eric Bauza en "Interview with a Pop-pop-pire") - Big Bob es el padre viudo de Bob, el suegro de Linda y el abuelo paterno de Tina, Gene y Louise. Al igual que su hijo, Big Bob es un restaurador que posee su propio negocio llamado "Big Bob's Diner". Se ha demostrado que es un padre duro y cariñoso con su propio hijo, como se muestra en los flashbacks. Desde su preadolescencia, Big Bob ha sido muy controlador de Bob y lo ha puesto a trabajar la mayor parte del tiempo. Disfruta del baile en línea que practica en el bar gay al lado de su restaurante. Encontró la vida difícil desde la muerte de su esposa, Lily. En conversaciones con su hijo, reveló que le propuso matrimonio a Lily después de que un árbol casi les cayera encima mientras estaban acampando.
• Lily Belcher : madre fallecida de Bob, suegra de Linda, abuela paterna de Tina, Gene y Louise. No se la nombró hasta el episodio de la temporada 13 "Show Mama From the Grave". La mayor parte de la información sobre ella proviene de flashbacks y recuerdos: una vez ella y Big Bob fueron a acampar y un árbol casi les cae encima, lo que hizo que Big Bob supiera que quería casarse con ella. Ella y Bob hacían casas de jengibre juntos, un buen recuerdo que Bob tiene de ella. Big Bob también encontró que la vida y la gestión del restaurante eran difíciles después de su muerte. Aparece completamente en pantalla por primera vez en la película Bob's Burgers , donde se la representa con su sombrero rosa favorito. Bob le dice a Louise que su propio sombrero con orejas de conejo le recuerda a Lily.

Bob's Burgers presenta altibajos regulares en el volumen de clientes, pero dos clientes leales ayudan a mantener el restaurante abierto.

• Theodore "Teddy" (voz de Larry Murphy ): Teddy es un contratista hablador, bondadoso, corpulento y socialmente torpe que es un cliente leal y casi diario de Bob's Burgers. Teddy es un gran aficionado a los Belcher y quiere ser parte de la familia (aunque parece pensar que el apellido de los Belcher es Burger, probablemente porque el restaurante familiar se llama Bob's Burgers). ^[4] Con frecuencia fantasea con estar relacionado con los Belcher. En "Just the Trip", Teddy se queda en el restaurante para reparar el techo mientras la familia se va de viaje por carretera con Nat Krinkle. Luego, Teddy fantasea con que Linda deja a Bob por él y adoptan a Bob como su hijo. Teddy considera a Bob como su mejor amigo. Si bien Bob generalmente quiere y respeta a Teddy, también lo encuentra profundamente molesto la mayor parte del tiempo. En su juventud, Teddy era atractivo, tenía el pelo largo y rubio y estaba en buena forma física. Era lo suficientemente atractivo como para ser elegido como salvavidas en una película de explotación de los años 80, The Deepening , filmada en Wonder Wharf. Sin embargo, un incidente durante el rodaje le afectó tanto psicológicamente que recurrió a comer en exceso y ganó una cantidad sustancial de peso. Teddy está divorciado, vive solo y tiene citas con poca frecuencia. Antes de ser contratista, Teddy sirvió en la Marina de los Estados Unidos y estuvo destinado en Guam . Una vez estuvo casado con una mujer llamada Denise que lo trataba mal y lo engañaba regularmente (según Teddy, Denise era comprensiblemente infiel ya que a veces trabajaba "de seis a ocho horas al día"). Denise era muy crítica con Teddy y una vez le dijo que su cabeza parecía un trasero, lo que le dio un complejo, por lo que siempre usa un gorro. Su matrimonio terminó cuando Denise dejó a Teddy por un entusiasta de la navegación que posee un bar junto al agua llamado "The Schoon Hound", donde trabaja como camarera. En el episodio "Thanks-Hoarding", Teddy confiesa a regañadientes a los Belcher que es un acaparador debido a un trauma infantil y desarrolla un olor corporal intenso, al que llama "hedor de pánico" cuando se pone ansioso. A veces, Teddy habla demasiado, y con frecuencia cuenta historias innecesariamente detalladas sobre situaciones mundanas que generalmente aburren al oyente. Si bien se sabe que come casi cualquier cosa que se le ofrezca (en una ocasión, comió un trozo de una esponja que Bob le entregó y, según Linda, un recibo), las hamburguesas de Bob parecen estar entre sus comidas favoritas. En el episodio " Friends with Burger-ataques ", Teddy se entera de que su consumo diario de hamburguesas y papas fritas de Bob le ha hecho desarrollar un colesterol extremadamente alto. Generalmente de modales suaves y afables, Teddy participa en sesiones de terapia en curso, ya que a veces tiene problemas de enojo,arrebatos violentos por incidentes menores de los que se arrepiente inmediatamente, lo que a menudo le hace estallar en lágrimas y disculparse.
• Mort (voz de Andy Kindler ) - Mort es un empresario de pompas fúnebres y el dueño de la funeraria "It's Your Funeral" al lado del restaurante y también un cliente habitual de Bob's Burgers. Es un poco extraño y tiene un sentido del humor estereotipado y morboso. Mort es soltero, usa un tupé obvio y vive en un apartamento elegantemente decorado encima de su funeraria. Es buen amigo de Bob y Teddy y ha cuidado a los niños Belcher en alguna ocasión. También ha actuado como el conductor de la familia Belcher cuando Tina estrelló el auto de Bob. Mort tiene un buen sentido del humor en general sobre las preguntas macabras a las que a menudo se ve sometido con respecto a su trabajo. Su nombre en latín significa "muerto" o "muerte", un guiño lúdico al hecho de que trabaja en una funeraria. Contrata a un imitador de Borat para la fiesta del 86 cumpleaños de su madre para ayudar a atrapar a un hombre que mintió a varios restaurantes sobre el cabello en su comida.

Los siguientes son miembros de la familia del Pesto:

• Jimmy Pesto Sr. (voz de Jay Johnston en 2011-2021, Eric Bauza en 2023-presente): Jimmy Pesto Sr., de apellido real Poplopovich, es el dueño del restaurante de temática italiana al otro lado de la calle llamado "Jimmy Pesto's Pizzeria", que es más popular que "Bob's Burgers". Aunque es de ascendencia europea del este, usa el nombre de Pesto, que suena italiano, presumiblemente para aumentar el atractivo de su restaurante; a él y a los miembros de su familia se les conoce invariablemente por el apellido Pesto. Es el padre de Jimmy Pesto Jr., Andy y Ollie, y es el archienemigo de Bob. Su disputa a menudo parece rayar en el acecho mutuo y, en ocasiones, se convierte en violencia. Sus familias en realidad se llevan bien y, aparte de algunos incidentes aislados, ninguno de sus negocios pone en peligro al otro. Esto se debe en parte a que las hamburguesas de Bob son realmente mejores que la comida que sirve Jimmy, que a menudo se describe como de calidad inferior. En un episodio en el que Jimmy intenta superar a Bob sirviendo hamburguesas, se lo puede ver llorando en mitad de la noche, sabiendo que la artimaña no durará; en otro episodio, Jimmy compite en un concurso de hamburguesas contra Bob y un chef famoso y su "hamburguesa de orégano" es mal recibida. Se revela en "The Belchies" que él y la madre de sus hijos están divorciados; aún no la han visto, y Jimmy se mudó a un patético apartamento de soltero después de que se finalizara el divorcio. La serie ha dado a entender firmemente que no tiene amigos de verdad, ya que el asistente de la pizzería le pide a Bob que le lleve analgésicos porque el asistente no puede pensar en nadie a quien le guste Jimmy, y sabe que, aunque Bob (con razón) detesta a Jimmy, es una buena persona que ayudará a una persona herida cuando se lo pida. Tiene el pelo castaño oscuro peinado con un tupé .
• Jimmy Pesto Jr. (voz de H. Jon Benjamin) – Casi siempre conocido como "Jimmy Jr", Jimmy Pesto Jr. es el hijo mayor de Jimmy Pesto. Jimmy trabaja como ayudante de camarero en la pizzería de Jimmy Pesto. Es compañero de clase de Tina, interés amoroso y novio intermitente. Tina está enamorada de él y hace todo lo posible por llamar su atención (bailar lento con él, compartir a la fuerza una hebra de pasta con él, etc.). Es amigo cercano de Zeke, quien lo llama "J Ju", tiene un ceceo lateral y le encanta bailar. Parece ser uno de los estudiantes más populares de la escuela secundaria Wagstaff, aunque muchos estudiantes se volvieron en su contra en "El candidato Millie-Churian" después de que Louise arruinara su campaña de presidente de la clase. Jimmy Jr también es propenso a la envidia ; En "Stand By Gene" resiente a Gene por hacerse amigo de Zeke, y en "Two for Tina" se pelea con el interés amoroso de Tina, Josh, a pesar de su relación intermitente. Jimmy Jr ha tenido citas con Tina, sin embargo, se olvida de esto de vez en cuando. Louise lo llama "cara de brackets" en "The Belchies", lo que implica que usa brackets, pero estos nunca se ven, aparte de en su foto de la escuela de quinto grado en "The Millie-Churian Candidate". Tiene cabello rubio oscuro, piel clara y una estatura alta. Jimmy Jr generalmente usa una camisa de manga corta de color amarillo pálido; un chaleco de mezclilla azul, pequeño y abierto sobre su camisa; pantalones de chándal negros y grises; y zapatillas blancas cortas. También tiene el peinado pompadour de su padre, pero Jimmy Jr. tiene el cabello rubio oscuro.
• Andy y Ollie Pesto (con la voz de Sarah Silverman y Laura Silverman ) - Andy y Ollie Pesto son los hijos gemelos rubios de Jimmy Pesto, Sr. que son los hermanos menores de Jimmy Pesto Jr. Son muy infantiles y se cuidan mucho, experimentando una ansiedad extrema cada vez que deben separarse - en un momento insinúan que sus mochilas se perderán entre sí cuando se separen y casi son atropellados porque estaban tratando de llevarse el uno al otro al otro lado de la calle. Son compañeros de clase y buenos amigos de Louise a pesar de la rivalidad entre sus padres (así como la tendencia de Louise a aprovecharse de ellos, como en " Art Crawl "). El intenso cariño de Ollie y Andy por el otro imita al de Walter y Perry de la serie de televisión animada anterior de Loren Bouchard Home Movies . La diferencia entre ellos es que Andy usa una camisa azul claro y Ollie usa una camisa verde neón.

Los siguientes personajes trabajan en la Escuela Wagstaff:

• Sr. Frond (voz de David Herman ) - Phillip J. Frond es el consejero escolar "autocertificado" de la Escuela Wagstaff. Se siente infrautilizado y poco apreciado en la escuela, ya que nadie lo quiere realmente, debido a su personalidad tensa y estricta, y su consejo nunca es buscado. Ocasionalmente inventa planes descabellados para avanzar en su propia carrera, que generalmente fracasan espectacularmente. Nació en 1971, lo que lo hace tener 47 años en el episodio La sala secreta de cerámica de los secretos. El Sr. Frond es vegetariano y tiene una lengua pequeña . También teje religiosamente, habla con su madre por teléfono todos los días y tiene varios gatos.
• Entrenador Blevins (voz de Larry Murphy): El entrenador Blevins es el profesor de gimnasia y el entrenador del equipo de lucha libre que usa gafas irrompibles.

For all of her grating-voiced grumpiness, it's been shown that she is a good teacher who cares for her students, and Louise is surprised to learn that Miss LaBonz grades Louise's work toughly because the teacher knows Louise is a very smart kid but also lazy and stubborn about staying that way. After Louise indirectly gives her a great evaluation review, LaBonz gets a coveted parking spot right in front of the school.
• Miss Merkin (voiced by Brian Huskey) – Matilda Merkin is the longtime music teacher at Wagstaff. She is a very proficient musician, competent at multiple instruments including drums, ukulele, piano, and guitar.

His middle name was chosen to make his full name a play on words based on the loganberry bush; his mother Cynthia admits "we didn't think it through." Bob employs Logan as an unpaid diner "intern" in exchange for a plot in the community garden, which is run by Cynthia ("Afternoon in the Garden of Bob andLouise") and dismisses Louise's anger over working alongside Logan because he values the plants he comes to call his "babies".

He drives around town in a golf cart and throws firecrackers at people. He likes Bob despite Bob always being late with his rent (partially because Bob knows a legendary burger recipe that he greatly enjoys and Bob reminds him of his father due to Bob's hairy arms).

He soon regrets his actions and tries to save them despite Fanny's interference. Felix later returned in "Dawn of the Peck" where he conceived the idea of a Running of the Bulls style event called the "Turkey Trot" for the town's Thanksgiving festival, which turned out to be a disaster when the birds attacked the participants.
