Preksha Kumar · 03/14/11 12:00PM


On Bob's Burgers last night, it was Tina's 13th Birthday. Like any awkward and slightly creepy 13 year old, she wanted to throw a big party for her entire class (disco ball and everything) for the sole purpose of making out with Jimmy Pesto's son. Bob then has to somehow finance the entire charade and decides to speak to his eccentric landlord, Mr. Fishoeder (voiced by Kevin Kline).
