Bob's Burgers - Is Tina autistic? [Toothpick scene]

Gene tests Tina's autism

[maria_gold]

I looove this scene... this is what got me hooked on this show!

[katherinenorth]

“you’re the worst kind of autistic” made me wheeze

[KimLipKnowsWhatYouDid]

while they're playing the toothpick game you can hear the voice actors laughing

[conntoons_]

I’m not used to hearing Gene in a calming tone

[RedHood]

“Ugh. You’re the worst kind of autistic.”
“You can’t even count.”
Lmao.

[Deathstorm]

I like how bob was initially like 'no, don't play this game again' and then tina comes out swinging with 'a hundred' and Bob stops complaining and immediately goes 'a hundred? There's three!' it's just one of my favorite things when one person is winding up for one subject only to be fully blindsided by an unexpected development in the conversation

It's interesting to see how the show's writing structure changed. The earlier episodes feel much more improvised. I get the impression they wanted to make this show the next Home Movies.

[ducky]

the fact that bob says ‘don’t play this game again’ means this game is a reoccurring thing i cant- 😂😭

[crabgal]

The pilot is genuinely one of the funniest episodes. Like they nailed it right out of the gate

[woobharb]

I like how you can faintly hear one of the voice actors wheeze in the background while Gene’s counting toothpicks.

[nikkiattwell]

This is one of the funniest scenes on any show I've ever seen.

[rew-vmDOTcom]

The pilot episode is probably top five funniest tv episodes of any show of all time

[ColdFuse]

I like how Hugo keeps trying to get his attention but he keeps pushing him away like if he was supposed to be his youngest son 😂😂😂😂

[pokugrf]

Bob's burgers really did just say "Ahh fuck it, here's home movies energy" in season 1

[andisadoily]

I'm autistic and this is so funny, so many people try the toothpick thing with me, once a stranger tried it on me when I was at work (he used pencils not toothpicks but same difference) and he kept asking me how many he threw, I told him there were too many for me to clean up but just enough for him to clean up and I walked away 🤣🤣🤣

[orbismworldbuilding]

I'm autistic with dyscalculia and it effects my ability to count. I struggle to count past 5 at a glance, and start repeating myself when i get to the tens.
I'm not bad with math, just counting and basic arithmetic.

[penjamin]

Its crazy that the funniest scene in the whole show is literally in the first episode. This one joke was the peak.

[princessaur]

Honestly Bob's Burgers has like-- the best first episode of any show I've ever seen.

[Huffy-dlmi]

as an autistic who is bad at math, I relate to this...a lot

[thecoooool]

I prefer this more calm version of Jean, rather than the constant screaming fart noise version. Both are good, but I feel they make him a bit too excited most of the time.
