Bob’s back at it again, striving for turkey perfection, and this time he’s banking on a three-day brine to pull it off. But as Thanksgiving inches closer, something peculiar unfolds—Bob and his family wake up one morning to discover the turkey unceremoniously stuffed into the toilet. Thinking it’s a one-time mishap, Bob gets a new turkey, only for it to meet the same fate the following day. What in the world is happening?
The mystery of how the turkey ends up in the toilet is intriguing, and though it unravels with a hilariously sweet conclusion, the charm of this episode isn’t solely tied to that mystery. It captures the essence of a chaotic Thanksgiving perfectly. From family members like Gayle showing up and inadvertently stirring the pot, to the kids jostling for a spot at the grown-up table, and Bob’s quest to master the art of cooking a plump turkey—it’s as messy as it’s endearing.
Let’s not forget one of the series’ most memorable moments thanks to a deli counter employee. He hilariously misreads Bob’s repeated visits to replace the turkeys as some sort of comical romantic pursuit. To many, this isn’t just the best Thanksgiving episode of Bob’s Burgers; it’s arguably one of the standout episodes of the whole series. So why not give it another watch this Thanksgiving? You’re in for a treat.
