‘Bob’s Burgers Live!: The Movie’ Is Hilarious, But It’s Not What You’d Expect

If you’re a fan of the FOX animated seriesBob’s Burgers, then you probably already know that this weekend marks its milestone 100th episode. If you’re not a fan ofBob’s Burgers, then you should probably watch it on Netflix or Hulu and join in the hilarity.

In case you didn’t know, just last month the cast ofBob’s Burgersgot together for some recent live shows in Los Angeles that featuredH. Jon Benjamin(Bob),John Roberts(Linda),Dan Mintz(Tina),Eugene Mirman(Gene), andKristen Schaal(Louise) all doing stand-up, table reads and more in front of a live audience. Before the show began, a short film calledBob’s Burgers Live!: The Movierevealed how the cast was rounded up for the event, and it was a little more complicated and dramatic than you might anticipate.

Here’s the video straight from the officialBob’s BurgersYouTube channel:

Surely some of you are disappointed this isn’t just a live-action version of Bob’s Burgers featuring the cast, but it’s still an amusing short. It’s also written by Rich Blomquist, John Roberts and Kristen Schaal, the latter of whom also directed the short.

You probably never thought you’d see H. Jon Benjamin as a make-up artist or John Roberts and Kristen Schaal on the set of a remake ofLess Than Zero, but there they are. Plus, you’re able to’t go wrong when you have guest stars popping up likeKevin Kline(who voices Mr. Fischoeder) andDavid Herman(the voice of Mr. Frond and plenty other voices).

The short was released online in anticipation of the 100th episode of Bob’s Burgers, airing Sunday on Fox at 9:30pm ET/PT. If you haven’t watched before, maybe tune in and give the show a shot. There will be butts.
