Bob's Burgers - Linda Belcher

That good old Linda Belcher from BOB'S BURGERS.

A funny character I get such a good laugh on and her so very funny voice. 


"When I die I want you to cremate me and throw my ashes in Tom Selleck's face."

"No one sheds like this family, it's like a bunch of Chewbaccas."

"Hit him in his handsome groin!"

"I dreamed that I was breast feeding Gene again, but he had a long, white beard, like Santa Claus. It was really freaky."

"Well, I may have slipped a penis pill in your casserole. Surprise!"

"Don't tell me not to have a crap attack! I'll have a crap attack anytime I want!"

"It's rated R for really boozy, starring me."

"Oh! My face!"

"Ginger's cat died, but in a very funny way. "

"Oh, honey. I already picked out what it'll say on your tombstone."

"Here goes the hair, and, there goes the hair, and, where is Harry Truman? He's dead in the ground, he's dead in the ground, he's dead dead dead dead dead!"

Linda Belcher (voiced by John Roberts) - Linda Belcher is Bob's wife and the mother of Tina, Gene, and Louise. Prior to her marriage to Bob, she was engaged to Hugo, who is now a local health inspector ("Human Flesh"). Linda's attraction to Bob is in part due to his passion for his work, and remains a loyal and devoted wife despite their frequent financial problems and never having had a honeymoon or a day off in 10 years ("Weekend at Mort's"). She has a preference for moustaches, and says Bob "made himself ugly" when he shaved it off ("Sheesh! Cab, Bob?"). Her passions include dinner theater, porcelain figurines, Tom Selleck, nautically themed romance novels, and prenatal yoga. She handles the accounting for the restaurant, though her bookkeeping methods are sometimes troublesome. She is very fond of alcohol, but is known to say that "Mommy doesn't get drunk; she has fun." Linda is extroverted, has a thick New Jersey accent, and is somewhat eccentric; she is also fond of tackling problems using unconventional methods, though she is more optimistic than bright and things sometimes go awry. For example, she is devoted to her sister Gayle, and hesitates to criticize her artwork, and even encourages Bob to have an affair with her to boost her self-esteem ("Dr. Yap"). She has an almost endless enthusiasm, especially for her family and novel experiences, her catchphrase being an encouraging "Alriiiiiight!" (which is also the name of her fantasy sailing yacht). She is fond of mediating family "brainstorming sessions," and her belief that there are "no bad ideas" seems to inform her character throughout the series. Bob has described her as a "pushover" and allows people take advantage of her. Linda is often tricked into doing her children's homework ("Synchronized Swimming"), and after taking a job at a supermarket is left to run the entire supermarket by herself because everyone else took the day off ("Lindapendant Woman"). Linda often calls her husband Bobby. Linda is probably best known for her tendency to spontaneously burst into song, a trait she shares with John Roberts, the actor who voices her character. Many of the songs she is known for are ad-libbed by Roberts, including her "Thanksgiving Song" and a hair-brushing ditty that references the late Harry Truman. Her songs are frequently remade and set to music for the episode's end credits.
