Bob's Burgers: InsomniBob (15x22)

This was a really, really fun episode! I loved it.

Cons: 

Honestly can't think of any. This was a Bob-centric episode so we spent less time on the kids and Linda, but that was just as it should be. 

Pros: 

This is going to be a short review because honestly I think just listing things that made me smile is silly, and that's all this review is going to be.

- The kids with their pickle portrait, with some commentary from the neighbor across the street; I love how they pretended it was about missing Bob because of his obsession, and how Linda bought it.

- Linda buying groceries with Opera in order to fall asleep. That's an interesting method, I should give it a shot...

- Bob calling Teddy "Ted" the whole episode, leading to his bewilderment and concern.

- The SONG! That was an all-timer Bob's Burgers musical number, I need to go back and watch that musical sequence again.

- Bob's incoherent ramblings about the perfect burger and all the wacky ingredients, his family's growing concern and his growing certainty - I just thought this was the perfect way to showcase Bob's malleability as a character. Sometimes he's kind of the "straight man", reacting with bewilderment to his family's wild antics. But that is very much not the only aspect to this character. He has these moments of comedic, over the top enthusiasm, and they're always a joy to watch!

Yeah, I'll stop there. Like I said, this is destined to be a short one! I very very much enjoyed it. This is technically the finale of Season Fifteen, but a new episode is coming soon in September to start us off on a new season, so we'll be back before too long!

9.5/10
