Bob’s Burgers recap: “Ready Player Gene”

The occurrence begins with the kids uncovering retired there’s going to beryllium a virtual world arcade going successful beside the edifice and it’s opening time with Bob and Gene being ace excited. The excitement deflates erstwhile they find retired it’s $45 an hr to play. Gene wants it truthful severely that helium decides to wage for it himself and offers to wage for Bob to bash it, too.

Before they go, Gene has an unthinkable imagination astir playing VR and winning everything. The adjacent day, the 2 caput implicit and play a crippled called Mountain Climber. It goes poorly and they determination to a VR jet-ski crippled which doesn’t spell overmuch better. The adjacent crippled they play is simply a flying crippled and Gene ends up crashing.

Bob tries to get a refund since the games are buggy but the idiosyncratic agrees to springiness them a escaped hr time since the games “will be” better. After they leave, Gene feels ace disappointed but Bob explains they tin play again time adjacent though helium inactive feels bad.

The adjacent day, Bob and Gene spell backmost to play Beat Baking which leaves them some disappointed and they’re stuck with the VR headsets connected arsenic the idiosyncratic is connected the phone, outside.

“Ready Player Gene” cements Bob’s legendary presumption contempt the episode’s title

With an occurrence titled “Ready Player Gene,” I was much than acceptable to settee successful for an occurrence focused solely connected Gene. However, Bob’s Burgers pulled the wool implicit my eyes with this 1 but successful the champion way. Yes, the occurrence did absorption a batch connected Gene, but it besides focused a batch connected Bob and his narration with Gene. Even though we seldom spot the 2 paired up, it’s wide Bob and Gene person a peculiar relationship.

Throughout the episode, we ticker arsenic Bob grapples with Gene’s disappointment and wants to support him arsenic champion arsenic helium can. It’s incredibly heartwarming and, for me, is different crushed wherefore Bob is the best TV dad. In the realm of animated shows for adults, Bob Belcher has already been a measurement supra the rest, and “Ready Player Gene” lone makes that adjacent much apparent.

It’s evident Bob is upset for a multitude of reasons but particularly due to the fact that he’d been trying to amusement Gene that things tin beryllium better. While determination was a infinitesimal wherever Gene was having a crappy time, it was bully to spot Bob trying to some marque the champion of a atrocious concern and trying to shield Gene arsenic overmuch arsenic helium could. Maybe I’m conscionable sentimental, but I truly bash emotion seeing those moments wherever Bob is simply a dad alternatively of wearing each chapeau helium does successful the series.

In a way, I consciousness similar things tin get mislaid successful the shuffle connected Bob’s Burgers and it’s bully to spot the amusement going backmost to its roots sometimes. While I didn’t emotion this episode, connected the whole, I bash consciousness similar seeing Bob and Gene person their moments was worthy it. Plus it was hilarious to spot the girls enactment unneurotic to make a paper operation and past destruct it the adjacent second. Hey, that’s what you get with Bob’s Burgers, though.
