Bob is once again on a mission to perfect his turkey cooking skills, and this time he’s trying out a three-day brine. Yet, as Thanksgiving approaches, he and the family wake up to the shocking discovery that the turkey has somehow ended up in the toilet. Bob gets a new one, but it mysteriously meets the same fate the next morning. What on earth is happening?
The perplexing incident of the toilet-bound turkeys adds a layer of intrigue, and the explanation behind it is a delightful mix of hilarity and heartwarming moments. But what truly elevates this episode is its authentic portrayal of the chaotic Thanksgiving atmosphere. You’ve got relatives like Gayle popping in unannounced and stirring up drama, kids clamoring for a spot at the grown-up table, and of course, the pressure of getting that giant turkey just right.
And let’s not forget one of the comedic highlights of Bob’s Burgers—the misunderstanding at the deli counter. Bob’s frequent trips for turkeys make the deli employee hilariously believe Bob is trying to kickstart a romantic affair. This episode isn’t just the top Thanksgiving story of the series; it arguably stands out as one of the best episodes ever. It’s a must-watch that’s perfect for a Thanksgiving re-watch, guaranteed to bring joy and laughter all over again.
