Parents need to know
Age 10+Language, sex talk, drinking in animation.
Parents need to know that Bob's Burgers S5 E9, "Speakeasy Rider", is a animation episode. The series is known for oddball family restaurant comedy. Plenty of bathroom humor, sexual innuendo, and absurd premises (nude beaches, burlesque clubs as B-plots). The kids are precocious and the humor skews adult, but violence is cartoon-mild and language is mostly clean. Best for families OK with weird, irreverent humor. Sits in the gray area mainly on swearing (moderate, in dialogue). Violence is mild but includes But I don't want to beat her this way. Sexual content is mild but includes I know it's like we both won, but maybe we both don't need to sleep with the trophy,…; I'll be like Al Capone with breasts. Language isn't constant, but you can expect swearing — for example, Here they come! Son of a bitch! Yes! The Grand Prix is ours! Go Team K. Characters drink or talk about alcohol and drugs — What's Teddy's Brewski? It's the name of my home-brewed beer. Every flagged moment below is a direct quote from the transcript or a short description of what happens on screen.
