TV’s Moments of Joy – Complisults and Explanabrags

Bob’s Burgers – This week’s episode guest-starred Jon Glaser from Delocated as Jairo, Tina’s Capoeira instructor.  Capoeira, of course, is a Brazilian martial art that combines “fighting, peacefulness, and cardio”.  Tina and her teenage hormones were riveted by the “sexy dance fighting”, which meant she wasn’t working the grill.  The little throwaway jokes really made the episode, like the way Jairo would randomly shout out things like “Brazil” and “ponytail” while fighting, or Louise and Gene’s excitement about poking a dead seal with a stick.  It’s such a funny show, comfortably blending ridiculous puns (the “Chevre Which Way But Loose” burger) and a running joke about Bob’s 4:30 bowel movements.  We really shouldn’t have laughed at poop jokes, but they were such well-executed poop jokes that we feel no shame whatsoever.
