  It’s the animated equivalent of the office when it comes to humor. Very built off of cringe scenarios and interactions
context: I never felt the humor to be the show's main draw, I kind of just like the characters, their interactions, and the backdrop of things. The show is just kind of enjoyable for being zany adventures of small yet weird and loving family. 
  As far the humor does go for me,  there are clearly moments where the show is trying to be funny, but the humor isn't hit my side laughing funny it's more like this, but unironically. It's the kind of humor I just appreciate, even if it doesn't make me  laugh. >
  
  Even when it doesn’t make me laugh, it always makes me smile. >
  
  Exactly, if I had to say what it's comparable to, it's like Dad humor (which makes sense since the show is centered around a father and his business).
  Even when the joke doesn't land in a way to make you laugh, you still appreciate the effort and sort of harmless fun of it. >
  
  The one thing I like about Bob's is how great the family is.
  Compared to Family Guy, Simpsons or South Park where siblings and parents are usually fighting (often physically), Bob's burgers has a family that is often on the same side on issues.
  I think the humor of Bob is subtle, and not so slap stick and memey as well. >
  
  very much this. Bob’s Burgers all the way over Family Guy. 
  Bob’s doesn’t lean on pedophilia and domestic abuse as “humour” it’s just a wholesome family show. It’s whacky and silly, doesn’t mean it has to be funny. >
  
  Family Guy was good for a bit. Then the whole cutting to a random scene to make the joke became very tiresome and seemed to lack writing skills. But then, they made American Dad and I think that is pretty good so it must just be a thing they went for. 
  I think the fact I was 15 when it first came out went in its favour. Shock factor over substance. >
  
  I agree that there are not that many laugh out loud moments in bob. But I don’t think they’re going for that anyway. The jokes are more likely meant to linger in your mind and make you smile. >
  
  I’m the exact opposite. I hate most adult animation shows and think bobs is amazing. To each their own lol >
  
  Same. I only really watch Bob's Burgers, King of the Hill, and occasionally The Simpsons. A lot of adult cartoons are just gross and unpleasant in my opinion. Each to their own, though. >
  
  Adult Swim has some bangers, and some terrible ones, but you can guarantee that just about any live action show on AS is either VERY good or absolutely DREADFUL. >
  
  I think the way to describe it is that the humor is very similar to how a "kind of funny" deadpan family with a dry sense of humor interacts with each other and the rest of the world.
  Everything is a little funny and sarcastic and there is a lot of dry humor to be seen in day-to-day life, but it's hard to perceive the world in a rolling on the floor laughing way if everyone in the family is intelligent enough that nothing is truly unexpected or surprising. What it is, is droll.
  It never really makes you laugh out of loud because it's not trying to be a straight up comedy.
  It's more like the melodramatic stories and adventures of a loving family with a dry sense of humor and plenty of quirks.
  It's like growing up in a smart but very strange and highly perceptive family. Everything is droll. But most things aren't hilarious. And there is plenty of quirky drama to go around. And for the most part they are together on issues and troubles and stand by each other. >
  
  This is precisely why it's nice to watch. >
  
  You are wrong. >
  
  Louise is best character fr >
  
  She carries the show at times. >
  
  I like the more dry sense of humour you get with bobs burgers. The jokes are there, they just go over your head sometimes if you aren't paying close enough attention >
  
  Exactly! There are such quick quips that come right after the other; you really have to pay attention or you’ll miss them. >
  
  I love it because they actually feel like a family. Bob actually loves his wife and kids, and you can tell. It doesn’t make me belly laugh or anything like that, but it’s a lot more subdued in it’s comedy despite still containing wacky hijinks >
  
  Bob's is sincere and heartfelt.  It's about a family struggling like all of us, but they love and stick by ea h other. >
  
  I used to hate bobs burgers when I was younger, I just didn’t get it, but honestly as I got older, I came to understand  that the awkward social interactions are just so…. Raw, and it is so fricken funny. >
  
  Y'all are fucking me up. I guess 30 is old, I was an adult when it came out. >
  
  Somebody said it's been on tv for twelve years... I still can't believe it. >
  
  I used to like it, but it got to be very repetitive: Tina makes annoying groans, Linda turns everything into a song, Gene wants to do something with music and farting, Louise is a mini psycho, and Bob is apathetic to it all. It just got to be too dull. >
  
  it can be entertaining, I just get so annoyed with gene and louise at times that I just stop watching for a while. Like when gene forgot the name of the restaurant when he was supposed to promote it at a baseball game, that pissed me off more than made me laugh haha. >
  
  I love bobs burgers but omg this episode had me saying “ it’s bobs burgers!!!” With Bob 😂 >
  
  It's more wholesome and based on reality vs the other animated shows. I think that's a big reason people like it >
  
  Pretty much. It’s great where they don’t rely on a single main character being a punching bag used for cheap jokes with no real basis than “ha you’re a loser!” >
  
  Unless you're 12, I think liking Family Guy is a much more unpopular opinion >
  
  I want so hard to hate family guy, and taken by the episode it is pretty mediocre, but sometimes they just hit you with a joke that is just hilarious. >
  
  I think the "issue" (not an actual issue cause you can dislike whatever you want) comes from you bundling Bob's Burger with the likes of Family Guy and The Simpsons just because it's an "adult cartoon". It's a really different kind of show, it's mostly about the family interaction than the actual jokes. I really don't like the idea that the term "adult cartoons" became a genre of it's own, where they all follow a similar way of storytelling, focus mainly on the comedy and over the top physical humor. >
  
  Adult cartoons aren't new. Yeah I watch Family Guy and the Simpsons, I also watched Dilbert and The Critic, King Of The Hill, Duckman. Bobs Burgers sucks, I watched more than enough Home Movies to know not to invest any time in it, and what little I can remember of Dr. Katz, I should've known better than to watch either follow up. Most of those shows were boring, yet more interesting. I even watched Baby Blue's. All of these are adult cartoons. >
  
  I respect your opinion, even though it's completely wrong. >
  
  Exactly, Bob’s Burgers isn’t terrible. >
  
  I love Louise. >
  
  I consider it more charming than funny. >
  
  It’s not a full on comedy, more so a show about quirky turkeys and their daily antics. Once you embrace that, you can become a fan. >
  
  Quirky turkeys is such a bobs burgers thing to say, I love it 😂 >
  
  That's OK. Not your thing. I don't like Rick and Morty. There I said it. >
  
  I liked the first few seasons, after that I can’t be bothered, I hate how arrogant that show became. >
  
  Are you gonna give it another shot when more stuff comes out without Justin Roiland? I feel like it’s gonna change considerably >
  
  Yeah but nothing is as terrible as family guy. >
  
  Family Guy is awful. What about American Dad? It has its moments, and Roger is pretty great. >
  
  American dad is so much better than family guy in every way >
  
  I don't think Bob's Burgers is trying to get you to laugh. I think it's just more of a vibe. Which makes it much more palatable to a lot of adults who are 15 years done with Family Guy. >
  
  I truly love it, but I don’t think it’s the masterpiece some people make it out to be. Jean and Louise annoy me and not in the “lovable annoying kid” way. I love Tina, even though she makes me ungodly uncomfortable. Likely because I relate to giving off that aura without meaning to 😂 >
  
  If you're an avid family guy fan then I can see how Bob's Burgers wouldn't be your forte.
  It's a lot less fart jokes and more the ennui of daily life. >
  
  The crazy thing is I use to like both family guy and Bob’s burgers, but now I only watch Bob’s burgers as family guy got less entertaining for me. I mostly like how Bob’s burgers is relatable. >
  
  I love king of the hill. >
  
  Same >
  
  It’s the free form of humor that I enjoy. It’s like a slice of life with some chuckle moments. It’s my understanding that they just sorta have an idea of how the episode is suppose to go and just sorta wing it. >
  
  It falls under the same "AwKwArD ≈ fUnNy" as Napoleon Dynamite. It literally relies on making anti-jokes that people laugh to fill the awkward situation it intentionally creates. I honestly can't stand movies and shows like those, and I'd be willing to wager that there are more people that act like they like them then there are people that actually like them. >
  
  It doesn’t make me laugh much either but it is one of my favorites as there are aspects of all of the Belchers that’s relatable for me. It’s honestly one of my comfort shows. I think the relatable aspect is what makes it enjoyable for many. If anything I’d argue it’s the most family friendly adult cartoon even. >
  
  The voices are a bit shrill I'll give you that for sure >
  
  See I love it, I love the little relatable moments >
  
  Bobs was great the first 5 seasons of the show. Then they decided to turn it into a sappy saccharine family show with a lesson of the week and it became terrible. 
  Literally every episode is someone in the family being selfish and every one else having to assuage them. Then them learning their behavior was bad by the end of the episode with some monologue about how they learned their lesson and won’t do it again (except they do a few episodes later). Some melancholy music plays over while the rest of the family says they love them. Queue end credits with some shitty song about the episode. 
  If you’re into that great but I think the original premise was much better. Can’t stand to watch it these days. >
  
  I see where you're coming from.
  Personally I've watched 3 episodes, and yeah it doesn't make me laugh. I'll admit, I don't laugh often with comedy shows, but most of the time I can at least appreciate the joke if it's clever or just entertaining.
  Bobs Burgers though, idk what it is but the jokes just aren't funny to me, it just feels like it drags on and on. I would think it's the delivery, but I tend to like jokes that're delivered in kind of a deadpan way.
  I can appreciate the characters, and the fact that apart from Gail and Teddy, the show doesn't have that weird "We're all terrible people" problem that a lot of adult animation has, but it's just not for me. >
  
  Omg Gail and teddy drive me insane. I do like the show but those two characters are grating. >
  
  I’m the opposite most adult animation shows are too over the top and annoying, I love bobs ever since I was a kid it got me through my teen years lol. >
  
  Oh fuck me it came out 12 years ago. I was like "teen years? It hasn't been out that long". 
  :/ >
  
  That's what I thought, too. I can't wrap my head around it airing that long, or why it was allowed to. >
  
  This opinion smells like ointment and pee >
  
  Because unlike family guy or south park it's actually enjoyable. >
  
  Yeah both Family Guy and South Park became less enjoyable for me over the years, but Bob’s Burgers will always be a favorite. >
  
  Cause its not very funny. Its mostly cringy. Thats funny to some but not.me. >
  
  It’s just boring. Also most adult animation shows like family guy suck as well. >
  
  Not really. Family Guy is like the absolute worst one and should not be considered representative of adult animation as a whole. >
  
  I always thought it was very hit or miss for me. Just background noise if it was ever on. >
  
  This is the most unpopular opinion I’ve ever seen on this sub. Bobs burgers is one of the best animated shows on tv/streaming. I enjoy all your other shows, can’t believe you don’t like bobs burgers. 
  I can barely watch the Simpsons anymore because it’s so different and it feels like it’s pushing a progressive agenda. Bobs burgers is just fantastic writing and witty comedy. 
  If you like adult animation and haven’t seen it yet, check out Archer. It’s one of my favorites as well. Rick and morty is hilarious too, but I’m sure you’ve seen it before. >
  
  Early Bob's Burgers is genuinely really funny. I think I watch it more because I like the characters, and because Linda and Bob are refreshingly normal for a cartoon couple, really sweet. Some of the newer episodes still make me laugh, the one where Louise turns into a wedgie assassin really tapped into my immature sense of humour. >
  
  Yessss! Thank for for finally saying that. As another big fan of adult cartoons i never got the humor of bobs burgers. My friends all say it’s hilarious but I guess I just don’t get it >
  
  I agree, I don't understand the appeal either >
  
  This isn't unpopular, it's just wrong. >
  
  It's trash. >
  
  It’s the only one I like >
  
  I endorse this opinion. >
  
  Fully agree, have never understood the appeal of that show. >
  
  Bob's burgers first 4 seasons were great. After that it really went downhill and became predictable, formulaic, and honestly quite boring. >
  
  Now THAT'S an unpopular opinion. Take my upvote, you uncultured swine! >
  
  Ive never even been interested enough to watch a single second of it >
  
  Your loss dude >
  
  As somebody who's seen some; no... no it isn't his loss. >
  
  I don’t like it either. The children really weird me out. >
  
  Yeah that's an unpopular opinion. I love Bobs Burgers!!! I'm a huge fan and active in the fandom :)
  I'm the exact opposite, I hate FG and think its unfunny and dumb. I love The Simpsons though. Haven't seen SP but the clips make me laugh. 
  It's just not your humor, which is fine, doesn't mean it's terrible.  People have different humor than others. >
  
  Do yourself a favor and watch South Park, it’s great. I also like bobs and hate FG. >
  
  That's because it isn't meant to be funny in the same way that Family Guy and the Simpsons are. It's meant to be a Slice of Life Adult Cartoon that focuses on the daily life of the family members and their interactions with each other. I do agree it's not a hilarious show, but it's not written to be. :/
  The take that it's bad because it's a bad comedy isn't an unpopular opinion, it's just incorrect as it's not a comedy. >
  
  I'm not sure the creators or most of the viewing audience would agree that Bob's burgers is not meant to be a comedy. >
  
  did you just read the last sentence? I said it's not meant to be MAINLY a comedy and use the same type of humor as other adult shows. It's a lot dryer humor that is meant to be built up, not slapstick and call-out humor like Family Guy uses.
  The humor is also a bonus to the show, the jokes are not the main parts of the episodes. So, it's not a comedy-focal show. It's a slice of life. >
  
  I read the whole thing, but your last sentence is the crux of your point so you don't get to discount that because you prefaced it with a bunch of hokey crap about slice of life. I still think you're wrong and the creators would disagree that it's not meant to be primarily, or MAINLY if you prefer, a comedy. Sounds more like an excuse for why the shows humor only appeals to like half of viewers at best. It's just an opinion like the rest, and a lame one at that. >
  
  The genre is literally a slice of life sitcom. It's a situational comedy at best. That's also not the primary genre, so yeah it's not mainly a comedy. It's meant to be like King of the Hill where it does contain humor and comedy, but it does not rely on it to tell the main storyline of the episode. >
  
  Agree. It’s the equivalent of a person who tries hard to be quirky. Also I absolutely hate hearing Archer’s voice come out of that character. >
  
  I feel like before you can call out bobs for supposedly trying too hard, you’d have to point out shows like family guy, that from the very beginning exist to be over the top and attempt to be memeable. >
  
  So don't watch it. >
  
  The first couple seasons were pretty decent. Then it became a family friendly sing-a-long. >
  
  Art is ugly humor is horrible. Worst show ever >
  
  Lmfao “worst show ever”.  What an absolutely hysterically awful take. >
  
  I thought something was wrong with me. I love the animation and characters but I can’t get into it either. >
  
  It's a wholesome show, but actually I dont laugh much while watching comedy so the lack of laughs never worried me. Also, American dad is way better than Family guy. >
  
  I dislike it a lot as well. Tried it, tried Rick and Mortt, and tried Bojack Horseman but I honestly dislike them all so much.i used to like King of the Hill, Simpson's, Family Guy and American Dad growing up but now I can barely tolerate them either. >
  
  I can see hating on. All of these, but why Bojack Horseman? Shit is literally Evangelion but you replace robots and angels with talking horse. >
  
  I loved Evangelion and I did not get that vibe from BoJack Horseman. I usually give a show four episodes before I decide if I hate it or like it and it didn't scratch that itch tbh >
  
  I'm not gonna lie, the first time I tried to watch Bojack I did only get like three or four episodes in. The first season is a lot more "setting the stage" than anything else. Late first season and second the stories and plots starts to become more coherent, and I tell you, the emotional impact that show has had on me is immense. It looks very episodic at first but the details and callbacks to episodes that seemed dumb, play a huge impact on a lot of the story later on. 
  A lot of the themes in Evangelion are reflected in it, as well as other mature things such as substance abuse, abuse between couples/friends, traumas and coping mechanisms, etc etc. If you ever find a chance to again I implore y0u give it a second try. If i had to describe the whole show in a single word, I'd say - cathartic. >
  
  I can definitely give it another chance. I've never really seen it described that way before - just been told it's an epic show from start to finish and whilst I never got the vibe it's nice to see someone else struggled at first but went back into it. I will certainly give it another go. Need something to clense to the brain after reading about humanity for classes >
  
  it’s one of the few adult cartoons where there aren’t so many hateful characters. and the family genuinely loves each other with their little antics. 
  i respect your opinion, but i bitterly disagree lol >
  
  Yeah the show is lazy af and not even somewhat funny. Strikes me as “weird for the sake of weird” and that’s supposed to be funny or comedic? >
  
  Have you people never watched it while HIGH???!! >
  
  I enjoy it because the humor is often slice-of-life and not mean spirited. I can't enjoy Family Guy because of that. >
  
  Starting with family guy is an immediate disrespect.  Bob's burgers is way funnier >
  
  Then dont watch it >
  
  It has its moments, but not worthy of a cult following. >
  
  Contrary. I think it's very relatable and while the humor isn't its strongest suit, it's emotional purity, wholesomeness, positivity, relatability and character chemistry is entertaining. A lot of adult sitcoms with families have them be so toxic to each other, that this is sort of a nice breath of fewsh air. >
  
  It's honestly background noise. It's like ridiculousness, nothing more than background noise to not feel alone, just like the office or Rick and Morty. Cringe unfunny shit that plays to focus on more important things in the moment for background noise sakes. Better to watch paint dry or run into a wall head first cringe. >
  
  You gotta shop at hot topic and thrift to like bobs burgers. >
  
  Are you a teenage boy or highly immature and still under 22??  If not then you are not the target audience. 
  And you don't have an unpopular opinion because it has nothing to do with you... you are just posting for likes. 
  If you are in the age range.  Then congrats. You are a little too mature for a show that is the equivalent of a fart joke.
