Bob’s Burgers Test Pilot

posted January 9, 2019 #

Somehow it had never occurred to me to see what the pilot of Bob's Burgers might look like. Much like early Simpsons, the character designs aren't as polished or fully realized; sensible given that it's the very first episode. The original character concepts are by Jay Howell, and his style really shines through. It's fun to see Bob a bit gnarlier.

It's a fascinating watch both in terms of the elements that were ditched ("Daniel" becomes Tina, the family is way nicer to one another) and the elements that stayed (the theme song is intact, the Burger of the Day gag remains, the cast is all there). It's just 13-minutes, so give it a whirl.
