Bob’s Burgers: 10 Memes That Perfectly Sum Up Tina Belcher As A Character

Now in its 13th season and with its own movie streaming, Bob’s Burgers can delight fans with even more antics fromquirky oddball Tina Belcher and her Erotic Friend Fiction, Jericho fantasies, and deposits for the butt bank than ever before. The eldest child in the Belcher clan, she can sometimes be overshadowed by Louise and Gene, but vacillating between stressed out and ultra-confident have made her a really relatable character on the show.Fans have been using memes to celebrate Tina’s deadpan humor, her love of horses, and her desire to run away with Jimmy Jr. Whether she’s penning a new love story about zombies or being compared to Daria, these memes are enough to inspire a Tina twerking session.

Tina Has A Lot Of Sides To Her Personality

Several of the Belcher characters in Bob’s Burgers fit a stereotype; Louise is crafty, Linda is loud, Bob is cautious, Gene is optimistic, and Tina is anxious. Even though they have a trait they’re known for, each Belcher has a variety of other quirks that give them complexity, especially Tina.

In any given episode, she can be a glass-ceiling-busting career woman, a model student, an artistic genius, and a flamboyant bon vivant who flirts shamelessly with cute boys. A lot of her appeal comes from relating to her many facets, though her most neurotic is her most humorous.

She Has Her Own Special Dance

Tina can be shy among some of her classmates and potential crushes, but when feeling herself, she’s not afraid to strut her stuff. Whether it’s a school dance or a talent show, she’ll often find any excuse to twerk in front of a raptured audience.

This meme shows a gorilla undulating in a manner very similar to Tina’s twerking, right down to the hands on the knees and the bobbing behind. If it’s making a show of dominance through flashy choreography, Tina would most certainly approve – especially if Jimmy Jr. was nearby. As one of Tina’s best quotes says, “Time to let the charm bomb explode!”

Tina And Daria Share A Lot Of Similarities

Before Tina’s monotone was recounting the trials and triumphs of navigating her school days, Daria Morgendorfer was the resident introverted misanthrope dissatisfied with the monotony of her life. Daria might not have loved horses or been overly fond of boys’ butts, but she had a deadpan sense of humor that seems close to what Tina might develop in high school.

Daria appeared as a character in Beavis & Butthead before getting her own titular series in the late ’90s. A Daria appearance on Bob’s Burgers would be a hilarious way to show Tina a glimpse at her future self

She Loves Horses

Tina Belcher is nothing if not a horse girl, as evidenced by the posters of horses that plaster her room, and the fact that in one of the best Tina episodes, her family chipped in for her to go to horse camp. She believes that everything in life is better with horses involved because of their inherent majesty and romance.

This meme looks like a magazine cover that Tina would design (and Louise would inevitably try to sell subscriptions to) for other horse girls hoping to connect. In many ways, Tina felt isolated from her social circle because few of her classmates shared her specific interests.

She’s Got A One Track Mind

Sometimes, Tina’s hormones got the better of her as she was finding her way through puberty. Her diary became a gateway to a rich fantasy world where she starred in elaborate fan fiction, where Tina’s urge to chronicle adult situations before she was emotionally ready often caused a lot of problems with classmates like Tammy (who tried to embarrass her), but luckily, her family always supported her creative endeavors.

One of her stories, “Buttloose,” became part of her fan-favorite Erotic Friend Fanfiction, which, with the full support of Linda, became a perfect amalgamation of Footloose and teenage wish fulfillment (starring Jimmy Jr. as a young Kevin Bacon).

She Likes Butts

Watch Bob’s Burgers long enough and it’s clear that Tina has a healthy obsession with boys and butts, resulting in one of the show’s funniest running gags. Ones that are especially enticing get stored in “the butt bank” and recalled fondly later.

Tina takes a summer class learning how to be a lifeguard because of teenage boy butts, though the position isn’t as glamorous as she thinks. This is from the person who likes public toilets because they’re “like little vacations for your butt.”

She Could Write A Whole Book About Butts

In her journals, Tina is a master wordsmith creating moving tales about herself in romantic and outrageous situations. Whether it involves Jericho, Earth Wind and Fire, or her classmates taking on roles from famous movies, her creativity (and love of butts) knows no bounds.

This meme, featuring some familiar faces from Adventure Time could be seen asan homage to her Erotic Friend Fiction. Bob’s Burgers already has its own cookbook, so a book about butts wouldn’t be too out of line for someone like Tina.

She Has An Entire Fantasy Involving Her Favorite Horse Jericho

When things aren’t going well for Tina at school or at home, she disappears into the rich fantasy world inside her head, where her best pal Jericho helps her cope. Jericho is a talking horse who loves her unconditionally and reinforces all of Tina’s best qualities.

It’s important for Tina to feel confident and validated, and even if some people might think she’s too old to have an imaginary friend, Jericho helps her feel better about herself. Most fans can relate to having an invisible friend who helped them through rough times, which is what makes Tina and Jericho’s relationship so special.

Tina Also Has A Thing For Zombies

Fans can trace Tina’s love for zombies back to the first season when a trip to visit her mom’s parents resulted in a spooky zombie nightmare being combined with the sounds of their unexpected intimacy in the next room. The wacky combination turned Tina’s fear of zombies into something more lustful.

Later in the series, Tina offers her body to the zombified basketball team as part of a creative essay that deeply disturbs Mr. Frond. Who knows what the Wagstaff counselor would have to say about this pulpy cover featuring a more mature Tina and her zombified boyfriend.

She’s The Best Thing About Bob’s Burgers

Tina can be considered more of a wallflower, especially when compared to her siblings, but if she cares about something enough she can have quite a temper. Whether it’s standing up to Tammy and her obnoxious rumors or trying to take her job as Hall Monitor seriously, she won’t be ignored.

In many ways, Tina’s passion for things she cares about makes her the heart and soul of the series. She knows what it’s like to be the underestimated underdog, and loves to look for lost causes to support. And when push comes to shove, her shy exterior gives way to a fierce warrior queen.
