Bob's Burgers Wins First Animation Emmy

[KoudelkaMorgan]

I really like the show, especially Louise. I also liked Futurama though.

I've only seen parts of Archer on youtube of Judy Greer's character which were funny.

There's one series though that has been continually ignored by the Emmy Awards, too bad as it has great animation and is enjoyable for both kids and adults, not many other shows deal with issues like class conflict, sovereignty, political revolutions, and civil war

If the current third season gets ignored as well I'll be disappointed

That would probably require Nick to nominate it or acknowledge that it exists.

I've been suspecting that's the issue, by banishing it to the internet in favor of more Spongebob reruns they really do treat it as the black sheep of the family

Maybe their CEO is an Equalist or an Anarchist

 

[McMarbles]

Good, it deserved to win.

I don't know how on earth that this show got an Emmy over the Futurama series finally. That series was touching, awe inspiring, and quite eventful. It's a well over decade long series that deserves the Award more than Bob's does.

 

[The Great JT]

Congratulations Bob's Burgers. May death come swiftly to your foes.

Oop, that was my Futurama congratulation speech cribbed from Morbo the newscaster. My bad. Still, good job on the Emmy.

 

[Verlander]

Not seen the show. I'd recommend anyone trying to introduce someone to the show not to use the above clip. After watching it my motivation to view a full episode has dropped from "Not having interest" to "Will actively avoid".

 

[Lono Shrugged]

I love the linking to a source to back up the general statement "Tina (often called the show's breakout character)". And that article was written by the person who wrote this article. But it's Bob so why am I surprised.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

How did this beat Futurama and Archer? It's just so...well 'bland' is the best way I can describe it. Diff'rent strokes, I guess.

 

[WhiteTigerShiro]

Emmy, all right!

I'm glad they won. Its the best animated show in teh Fox lineup.

How the hell did I not notice that she says that so often?

 

[Steve the Pocket]

Not sure how that won over Futurama but I watched that clip and it was meh. Futurama still takes the price for me.

To be fair, that was not a clip from the episode that won. It's from "The Equestranauts", the only episode of the show to date that pulled the tired, modern-day-Simpsons schtick of taking some piece of current real-world pop culture and milking it for a whole episode, and it turned out pretty much how you'd expect. "Mazel Tina" is much more indicative of the kind of thing this show does well, setting up a simple scenario with personal stakes and having everything go hilariously wrong because all the characters are irresponsible and/or crazy. Though it works best as a payoff to at least a couple seasons' worth of material, where you've come to understand Tina's motivations as a character.

I've watched a bit of Bob's Burgers. Sorry, I don't like it half as much as Archer, even though "Archer Vice" has been a bit more uneven than previous seasons. Oh, well.

This piece of crap?
I sat through three fucking seasons of that shit, constantly asking "Isn't it supposed to have got good by now?"
No jokes, sparse humour and only one interesting character in the whole damn show.
The fact that South Park's "Black Friday" was nominated instead of "World War Zimmerman" is a travesty. Everything past that is a continuation of the same idiocy.

Although thinking about it, award committees rarely give awards to anything with any real edge or energy.
It's not surprising that an award committee would give the award to the most neutered option, in this case Bob's Burgers.

you have nobody to be mad at except yourself. if you watched 16 and a half hours of something and you didn't enjoy any of it, that's your fault for not stopping.

OT: couldn't care less about the award itself, but glad to see one of the smaller shows got some recognition.

Rick and Morty is better than all of them right now.
