Ranking Every Thanksgiving Episode of Bob’s Burgers

Bob is back at it, determined to whip up the ultimate Thanksgiving turkey, and this year his strategy involves a meticulous three-day brine. Yet, as the holiday nears, the Belcher family wakes up to find their substantial centerpiece chilling in a rather unsavory location: the toilet. Bob quickly replaces the turkey, only to have it meet the same inexplicable fate the following day. What’s going on here?

The bizarre saga of the toilet turkey serves as a hilarious and heartwarming mystery, but that’s not the only reason this episode shines so brightly. It perfectly captures the chaotic spirit of Thanksgiving week, complete with family members like Gayle showing up to add to the mayhem, kids eager to dine at the coveted adult table, and the tense endeavor to cook a mythical perfect turkey.

What truly elevates this episode is a standout moment involving a rather confused deli counter worker. Bob’s frequent visits to replace his lost turkeys are hilariously misinterpreted as romantic overtures, adding an unexpected twist. This isn’t just a top-tier Thanksgiving episode; it’s arguably one of the best episodes in the whole series. So, give it another watch this Thanksgiving and enjoy the chaotic charm.
