The hilarious and wacky Belcher family returns for season five of “Bob’s Burgers” on October 5 – hopefully with more songs, butt jokes and food puns galore.
What set’s the cartoon apart from the likes of “The Simpsons” and “Family Guy” is that the kids act like kids- and they’re each uniquely awesome. Even though Tina is the oldest, she’s far from your typical bratty teenage character. Louise is the sharpest (yet somewhat psychotic) 9 year –old. And Gene is always there to protect his siblings. While they’re just children, there’s a lot we can learn from them. They embrace their weirdness, defy gender roles and live every day bombastically.
“Bob’s Burgers” may be on just once a week, but here’s how to channel your inner Belcher kid, every single day:
1. Embrace your true self (of the day).
2. Ooze confidence.
3. But remember, we’re all flawed humans.
4. Browse obscure Wikipedia pages so your threats sound educated and scary.
5. Give your siblings a little encouragement.
6. And always stand by each other.
7. No matter what the request.
8. Click it or ticket!
9. Write some creative essays and “Friend Fiction” at school.
10. Explore unconventional careers.

20. Instead, make that “charm bomb” explode.
21. Be up to date on the latest trash talk.
22. Find a hobby you’re passionate about.
23. Outsmart the bullies with sass.
