Ranking Every Thanksgiving Episode of Bob’s Burgers

In yet another culinary adventure, we find Bob Belcher on a quest for turkey perfection, complete with a meticulous three-day brine. However, as Thanksgiving approaches, chaos ensues when Bob and his family wake up to an unexpected sight—the turkey has mysteriously ended up in the toilet. Determined, Bob replaces it, only for it to meet the same fate the following day. What on earth is going on here?

The baffling saga of the turkey in the toilet is both hilarious and heartwarming, but what truly elevates this episode is its uncanny ability to capture the chaos and charm of a typical Thanksgiving week. Relatives like Gayle show up and stir the pot, kids desperately vie for a coveted spot at the grown-ups’ table, and Bob is, of course, obsessing over cooking the perfect turkey.

Adding to the episode’s charm is one of the funniest bits across the whole series. Bob’s repeated visits to the deli for replacement turkeys lead the deli counter worker to mistakenly think Bob is flirting with him—a mix-up that offers endless laughs. Not only does this episode stand out as the best Thanksgiving-themed adventure on Bob’s Burgers, but it could also be argued it’s one of the top episodes from the entire show. This Thanksgiving, why not watch it again and revel in the humor all over?
