Bob's Burgers

💡 Did You Know?

To pitch the show to the Fox network, the creators made a rough three minute demo of the scene where Bob and Linda are grinding meat and Bob forgets their wedding anniversary. The differences between the demo and the scene later used on the actual show included very different character designs by Jay Howell, cruder animation, and the Belchers were a family of cannibals, making burgers out of the flesh of their victims. However, Fox found the idea of cannibalism too dark for an animated sitcom so it was taken out. However, this led to the plot of the first episode where the family is accused by the health inspectors of being cannibals.
