86. “The Frond Files”
(Season 4, Episode 12)
Since three imaginative kids, all with different personality types, are at the center of Bob’s Burgers, you’d think it would be ripe for “Treehouse of Horror”-style anthology episodes. “The Frond Files” just didn’t work for me, though, with Louise and Tina’s segments—which parody The Terminator and Night of the Living Dead, respectively—mostly falling flat. Gene’s part, inspired by Rock ‘n’ Roll High School, really works though, and somewhat manages to save the episode.
Best moment: When Gene writes a classic.
