Heavy — skip for under 16
Bob's Burgers S3 E11, “Nude Beach”, scores 2/5 for violence, 5/5 for sex and 2/5 for language, for an overall kid-rating of 5/5 — Heavy — skip for under 16. Hugo, the loathsome health inspector who torments Bob, quits his job to become a nudist after discovering the town's new nude beach. His replacement, Tommy (guest voice Fred Armisen), seems nice enough until he blackmails the Belchers into letting him perform his terrible music at the restaurant, which drives all the customers away. Unable to tolerate it anymore, Bob decides upon the lesser of two evils and braves the nude beach (and bares.. well, everything else) to find Hugo and bring him back.

📝 The Belchers visit a nude beach. Nudity is implied/cartoon-style (no graphic detail), but the premise is adults at a clothing-optional beach. Kids find it funny-awkward rather than educational. The porn/stripper flag is from a business-card gag. Best for 11+ families with a sense of humor about bodies, or skip if nude-beach humor isn't your vibe.
