It’s Thanksgiving again, and Bob is on a mission to craft the perfect turkey. This year, he’s going all out with a three-day brine. As the holiday approaches, the Belcher family wakes up to find their turkey has somehow ended up in the toilet. Bob promptly replaces it, only to face the same predicament the next morning. What could possibly be happening?
Though the mystery of the turkey in the toilet is both hilarious and heartwarming in its reveal, the real charm of this episode lies in its portrayal of a wonderfully chaotic Thanksgiving week. You’ve got family members like Gayle showing up and stirring the pot, kids eager to graduate to the adult table, and the relentless pursuit of cooking that picture-perfect turkey.
And let’s not overlook one of the standout moments in the entire series—a side-splitting interaction with a deli counter employee. This poor guy misinterprets Bob’s repeated trips for replacement turkeys as an invitation for romance. It might just be the best moment in any Thanksgiving episode of Bob’s Burgers and arguably one of the top scenes ever. Make sure to revisit this gem during your Thanksgiving festivities and relish the comedic genius.
