Ranking Every Thanksgiving Episode of Bob’s Burgers

Once again, Bob is on a quest for the ultimate turkey perfection, and this year he’s got his hopes pinned on a meticulous three-day brine. But as Thanksgiving draws closer, a bizarre mystery unfolds when the Belcher family wakes up to find their turkey taking an unexpected swim in the toilet. Determined to salvage the holiday feast, Bob gets a new turkey, only to have it end up in the same soggy predicament the following morning. What’s going on here?

The enigma of the toilet-bound turkey is both hilarious and heartwarming, but what truly elevates this episode is its spot-on portrayal of the chaotic essence of Thanksgiving week. You’ve got family members like Aunt Gayle showing up and stirring the pot, kids clamoring for a spot at the grown-ups’ table, and, of course, the monumental task of roasting a turkey to perfection.

Adding to the comedic tapestry is one of Bob’s Burgers’ most memorable moments. Bob’s frequent trips to the deli, in search of replacement turkeys, lead a deli counter employee to mistakenly interpret his visits as romantic advances. This blend of humor and warm, relatable chaos makes this not only the standout Thanksgiving episode of the series but arguably one of its best overall. So why not dive back into this episode this Thanksgiving and savor the hilarity all over again?
