Rudy runs away to the belchers | Bob's burgers | Season 14 | 'The Amazing Rudy'

[CascadianRanger]

0:22 this shot is perfect. Absolutely perfect. Because to fans, Bobs Burgers has become known as a wholesome show thats character's love each other. And right here, Rudy is seeing the restaurant and family exactly how we see them. Warm. Safe. Comfy. Welcoming. Its a brilliant way to use the meta of the show in the show

I love how welcoming the Belchers are as soon as they see Rudy. In general, I love how Bob and Linda know all of their kids' friends and how much they all mean to them (even though Bob despises Jimmy, he's still nice to his kids and treats them with respect. The only one I think they don't like is Tammy because she's just a brat who doesn't respect anyone)

Louise just caught on like that. Her relationship with Rudy stands out so much as he's the only person she "wants" to be friends with.

[Jaeellis]

When Louise said “oh boy” she immediately knew and I started crying…. I love Louise her character development was something I needed in my life.

Louise’s character development has been amazing

This really shows why bob's burgers has surpassed both family guy and the Simpsons is because it exemplifies the effect of a loving family and the effect on everyone around them.

I feel so bad for the kid! He's dealing with so much and he does his best to keep a strong front up. He's a really kind person and tries to brighten people's day with his magic tricks.

Louise being there for him is so sweet. Her strong personality perfectly compliments his kind nature. I think Rudy is the only person Louise hasn't intentionally messed with lol. Even when she got them all "arrested" for stealing a bounce house. She thought Rudy would love it as much she did. But then she realized all he really wanted to do for his birthday was have a puppet show.

I'm glad they showed that if Rudy is having a hard time he can go hang out with Belchers. They had no problem letting him drop by and enjoy a weird dinner witn them. Bob's burgers is one of the best series ever!

Feel so bad for Rudy. He blames himself for his parent's divorce and maybe deep down he hopes they'll get back together. But seeing them with new partners along with him feeling he screws everything up. Louise is definitely the best friend for him, giving him the strength to keep going.

This is one of my favorite recent episodes of Bob's Burgers. It was such a complete shift in tone from the usual episodes. I can't remember the last time they had an episode devoted exclusively to a side character, but this one was done so well. It not only shows you where Rudy is coming from in his personal life, but it also brings more characterization to the kind of person Louise truly is and it is just done so well!

Bob out here asking the important questions.

I showed this episode to my boyfriend (who is a magician and a child of divorce) and it made him tear up, it hit that close to home. Rudy is now his favorite side character in the show. I will forever love this show for not only how funny it is, but how honest and relatable it is.

This males me thinkamd headcanon that nearly all of the other kid's families that the belcher's regularly interact with are unstable or troubled in some way..over time they associate stability and warmth with the belchers. They dont have much, but they're always kind and are willing to provide and always give a kind haand to their friend's kids.

[DanielNYR]

This moment of the show was so wholesome. Louise is such a good kid. The world would be better with more people like her. I love this show.

[Cardlimits]

Louise growing from a potential psychopath to a kind friend is one of my favorite character growths in all of adult cartoons.

This episode was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time, the way children deal with a hard reality that is not in their hands. It's a tough truth that reminded me of certain years in my childhood.

To all the Rudys out there, it will be alright, do your best, be good, and keep strong. Better days are coming your way ❤

Louise can hear anything tragic and can instantly crack a joke about it. Her saying "oh boy" after hearing what happened to Rudy shows she really cares about him.

She's a real one for sticking with Rudy while he's going through a tough time in his life.

[PeteSanctions]

These last 2 seasons have been awesome. From the music, the presentation to the lessons learned at the end of each episode. This particular episode was a very poignant and emotional look at Rudy too.

[Minaka]

I really love Louise's relationship with Rudy.
I'm not sure if Louise actually "like" likes Rudy, she's only 9 years old and doesn't know how to deal with her own feelings yet, but I think she feels the need to take care of him and want him to have fun in his own way, she understands that he's a good boy who's dealing with a lot.
One of the characteristics I love most about Louise is how protective she is of those she loves, if someone dares to hurt any of her family, she genuinely wants to destroy them, and it's nice to think that Rudy is included in that too, it's cute how she genuinely wanted to be his friend as soon as she met him for the simple fact that he's a good boy, and it's even cuter how she, even though she hasn't lived through what Rudy is living through, understands him, and doesn't want him to feel alone in a place where he clearly feels uncomfortable and sad.

Louises development from her days of cannibal meat has been amazing 😊

My parents divorced when I was 14. I came home from school and Dad was gone it was 2nd week of October, didn't call or show up till Black Friday. I am 55 and this episode brought up so much pain that was buried. But it has become my favorite episode.thank you to the writers and performers to tackle this subject matter from a kid's perspective
