Shows that feel likeBob's Burgers (2011–)
If you loved Bob's Burgers, the closest series we have are Big Mouth (2017), Mr. Bean (1990) and Inside Job (2021). All three share Bob's Burgers' whimsical and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Prison School (2015).
If Bob's Burgers hit the spot, these will too

Kid embarrassment and puberty mined for jokes that stay affectionate
The difference: Explicit and raunchy — Tina's dry crushes turned up to filthy

Everyday errands mutating into elaborate comic disasters
The difference: Nearly wordless physical comedy — no family, no running warmth

Workplace absurdity where incompetence is the natural state
The difference: High-concept conspiracy plotting — and axed after one season

Family dysfunction as a joke engine, sharpened by absurd sidekicks
The difference: Meaner, weirder satire — this family doesn't love each other like the Belchers

Absurd escalation treated with completely straight-faced commitment
The difference: Explicit ecchi farce — far filthier than Belcher-family humor

Tiny everyday stakes blown up into gloriously overthought battles
The difference: A serialized romance at heart — school, not family

Small-town cartoon wholesomeness with something rotten underneath
The difference: Gleeful gore and shock — Adult Swim provocation, not warmth

Whimsical and witty in the same breath

Both lean on play more than on animation

Comedy built on whimsy, twice over

Witty animation, and it commits to that

A FOX animated family whose comedy runs on absurd detours
The difference: Cutaway shock humor — cruelty where Bob's finds affection
