79. “Ambergris”
(Season 4, Episode 18)
The main plot, where the kids plan to illegally sell a lump of ambergris they find on the beach, is fine, mainly because it gives the writers an excuse to bring back Mickey (voiced by Bill Hader). The B-plot, meanwhile, introduces Felix Fischoeder (voiced by Zach Galifianakis), brother to the Belchers’ wealthy landlord Calvin Fischoeder (voiced by Kevin Kline). Felix will never be a favorite character of mine, but this plot works fine, too. Overall, “Ambergris” might be the Bob’s Burgers episode most accurately described as adequate.
Best moment: When Gene wonders.
