The Bob’s Burgers Movie

When the Belcher’s fall behind on rent, a sudden sinkhole throws an even bigger wrench in making their payment on time. While Bob and Linda scramble to make ends meet, their kids investigate a mystery unearthed by the sinkhole.

Although no one on the animation team has directly confirmed it, many viewers interpret Bob as bisexual. As noted in Emma Flint's 2021 Digital Spy article, “Bob's Burgers — Bob Belcher is actually bisexual (and always has been),” people have been examining the character’s sexuality for several years. The most notable instance of Bob talking about his sexuality occured in season 4 episode 5 "Turkey in a Can" in an exchange between Bob and a deli man.

Another family member, Gene, who frequently appears in drag, has also been discussed in terms of representation. In a 2016 Yahoo interview “'Bob's Burger's Creator Loren Bouchard Talks Holidays With the Belcher's, Gene's Feminism, and More Megan Mullaly“ Bouchard addressed Gene's possible gender fluidity in a way that allows for an open interpretation about the character.

There are, however, several canonically queer characters in the film, including Marshmallow, who appears in the end credits dance scene. While originally voiced by David Herman, a cisgender actor, he was recast in 2023 when Bouchard responded on X that activist and model Jari Jones would voice the role. Jones officially started portraying the character in the season 14 episode 1 "Fight at the Not Okay Chore-ral."

Another queer character who appears in the film is Little King Trashmouth. His sexuality was first mentioned when Linda talks about him in season 3, episode 17 "Two for Tina." Little King Trashmouth —and sometimes his husband Gary— has appeared in the annual Bob’s Burgers Pride merchandise, particularly in the 2021 and 2023 collections.
