For Whom the Doll Toes

For Whom the Doll Tolls is a solid episode of Bob's Burgers that delivers the show's signature quirky humor and endearing family dynamics. The episode centers around Louise discovering an old, creepy doll in the basement, which leads to some hilarious and bizarre antics. Louise's character shines, and it's fun to see how her siblings get roped into her obsession with the doll.

The episode has a nice blend of humor and mild suspense, with the Belcher family's reactions adding a lot of charm. Some parts felt a little predictable, and the storyline wasn't as memorable as some of the series' standout episodes, but the character interactions kept it enjoyable. Gene and Tina each have their moments, and Bob's laid-back approach to his kids' weird adventure adds to the laughs.

Overall, it's a fun episode that fans of Bob's Burgers will appreciate. While not the most groundbreaking in the series, For Whom the Doll Tolls is still an entertaining watch that brings some laughs and classic Belcher family warmth.

Not quite as strong as a couple other Louise episodes (not much is going to top S13E22: Amelia for pure Louise), but still quite good and inventive. Without getting into spoilers, Louise puts together a dollhouse murder mystery for Tina and Gene after seeing her substitute teacher's creative doll murder photos. But it's not for fun, she has a touching and earnest message she's trying to convey but she's, well, Louise, and if there's a weird way to convey an important message, she's taking it.

The B-plot is a somewhat silly, but meme-able predicament that Teddy gets himself into because everybody's at the Dollhouse store.

One thing that would have made the episode stronger is a bit more buildup in the inciting incident. Gene doesn't seem anywhere near bothered enough by not being invited to a gathering to warrant Louise going to these lengths.

Even though it can't hit quite hit high points of Amelia, it's a simpler story that reminds us that the Belchers are really weird people, but part of that weirdness is that they're good people in a cynical world.
