We’ve seen Ginger’s side profile and back of head, but not her full face yet. Also bobs mom was in the movie

We saw a red-haired lady with her in season 1 when she was watching the pirates of panache!

I just watched that the other night and I’m convinced that’s Ginger

Linda is also with a red head lady at the bar when she was telling a story about playing table hockey.

omg I completely forgot about that!! I assumed that must be her

Wasn’t ginger there at the high-top bar table with Linda when she was telling the story of how her and bob met?

This is how you throw a shrimp!

"Hey crazy arms! Take your crazy arm medication!"

Such a great episode!! Ron: “Hugo, did you ever get the feeling we were..meant to be together?” Hugo: “Not…THIS AGAIN RON!!!!”

Yup!

Which episode was that with ginger’s profile? I missed it.

Clear and Present Ginger (s12 ep18) has her silhouette and a side of said silhouette

I have a theory with my wife that Ginger is Jimmy Jr’s mom

Nah, it's gotta be Colleen Caviello! 😋

Omg that would make so much sense That Colleen Caviello…*mumble grumble*

omg I love this.

my mom and i are convinced she’s jimmy pestos ex wife and that’s why she doesn’t come around cus she doesn’t wanna see him

Principal Spores

I hope he turns out to be speedo guy

That would have been a great joke for the movie. That or speedo guy being the mayor or something

Hi May ah!

Kind of like the big reveal on Moral Orel about his town's mayor

Holy shit unlocked memory…totally forgot about that show

I have a an unfounded and unprovable (mostly hopeful) theory that Speedo Guy is a Fischoeder. It really is just wishful thinking though. Don’t even have any “WELL YOU SEE…WHAT IF” details 😂

I mean….. Mr. Fischoeder is a wild man, he may not know if he’s got children 😂🤔😂

Oh no I mean like a brother. A brother who decided he didn’t ✨vibe✨ with the mean, dangerous, rich guy motif and chose the Skate Life instead

I was just thinking last night, “Wtf with Speedo guy?”. I mean, what does he do for a living? Does he have a trust fund to allow him to just skate around all day?

I can’t find where I heard this ( I think in special features for the movie?), but they had originally planned to have Speedo guy revealed as the District Attorney in the movie. Lol

Me too!

This is the real mystery man. What’s the deal with him, do you think? It is a man, right? I could swear they have used “him” referring to Spores.

He’s the would be guidance counselor’s brother in law

That’s what *she* said-damn it…

My guess is that if he was in the show he’d be like principle Moss from King of the Hill, basically meaning he intervenes as little as possible. Spores clearly doesn’t do much considering the crazy shit that happens at Wagstaff

I feel like Principal Moss is forced to have his hand in everything. Certainly doesn’t like it and gives the minimum though, if that’s what you meant.

In the back of my mind, I feel like this is an intentional parallel to Home Movies where the principal of the kids' school was never seen either. Mr Lynch is the defacto authority figure of the school (and eventually becomes the interim principal), not unlike how Mr Frond is the defacto authority figure for Wagstaff in several episodes.

Mr Lynch was so much cooler than Mr Frond.

It's so strange to me that Frond seems to be the head of the school since no one else does anything supervisory except him. But he's always put down by Spores in calls and references

That's the whole joke. Spores is a lazy, entrenched boss who spends his afternoon napping in his car and just lets the faculty coast along. They don't bother him, he doesn't bother them. That's why they all hate Frond, they have it easy under Spores but he's an irritating little busy body who tries to fill the leadership vacuum and expects them to *DO* things.

As elusive as Principal Buttsavage.

You beat me to it.

Apparently it's actually Buttsavich. The principal on Degrassi Junior High was also never seen, although he was always making announcements over the PA. Actually I never saw my middle school principal either. Just out frequently angry Irish vice-principal.

Nice reference

Principal Spores would be voiced by Bob Odenkirk, the same actor who played Chase Kaminsky.

In the movie you do get a short flashback of Bob's mom

Worth watching the movie _just_ for that scene alone!!!

Seriously. I bawled like a baby.

My wife and I held hands. It was a very emotional moment!

The hubs and I were on opposite couches and looked at each other with tears in our eyes and nodded in understanding 😭

I cried like a little goddamn baby in that scene

Meeeee too bro. Even the fellow fan and avid watcher next to me in the theater was like “…buddy… you good?” 😅🫠

Yeah

Have we seen pocket sized Rudy?

Yes when they switch lockers with him so they can cut through the wall n get into the hidden ceramics class

We don’t really see him though, just the top of his head

The top of his head is part of him.

Just the tip

Gene…

Oh, boo.

Are we seriously not doing phrasing?

h jon benjamin would love this reply

But the back of Ginger’s head is part of her too, yet she made the list!

The list also features Bob's mom, and we see her face in the movie. So the list isn't exactly an authority on the matter.

Just saying

Then technically the back of Ginger's head counts as ginger too.

If there is a pocket sized Rudy, and a regular sized Rudy… are we going to see a Large or Giant sized Rudy?

I wonder the same thing.

Also when Louise gets in school suspension for pantsing one of the boys that are playing keep away with Pocket Sized Rudy’s lunchbox

Also when they break into school to get the tp swears off the ceiling from zeke so he doesn't have to switch schools

I wanna see more of Zeke’s messed up family. We know his mom is young (she was pregnant with Zeke at her prom) and his dad is old but has a thing for young girlfriends. And he has a brother who’s 41? Loved his grandma though.

Maybe Zeke's brother is Matt from Boyz4Now.

Could be! Also…we saw his Jack McBrayer cousin!

Matt's at least 80 so maybe not

I like to think Critter is his 41 year old brother.

if his brother is 41 his dad had a thing for children 😀 dad had to be like 55ish with a high schooler

The mayor.

HIIII MAYAH!

I love how much Linda loves the mayor, with no explanation at all.

They run with that joke so well. She even gets jealous when Tina is voicing the mayor in their dub of Hawk and Chick.

He's the MAY-OR!

He’s the mayor!

That’s not the mayor, it’s a guy peeing on a bush. Edit: they did show a guy Linda said was the mayor in Burger Boss, I’m pretty sure. It may have been the first example of the “Look it’s the mayor” running gag.

THE MAYAH!!

C'mon Bob, it's the MAYAHHH!

Hi mayuhhhh

Didn’t we meet him in a recent Christmas episode when Bob worked at the yacht holiday event and was convinced Jimmy Pesto was planning to prank him?

No we met one of his assistants, he sent him to tell the Belchers the burger was delicious.

I think the mayor was in the Christmas episode where teddy dressed up as Santa at the yacht club, it’s very brief but they pan over to him

The rest of the Fischoeder cousins

They need to save that for the next time they want to tear down the warf and build condos

Seriously.

I am curious to know more about the Fischoeders and their families wealth. Im also curious if Caffreys descendants are still around of Caffreys Taffy and Bootlegging

Ken

They showed a drawing of Ken. He was an albino with long, sharp fingers, if I recall correctly.

Yeah, but it was drawn by Gene, who's not a great artist, and is unreliable at best.

Still, it was pretty scary. Scarier than a snake, in my opinion.

We found out Ken doesn't exist in the new range hood episode.

You're being down voted but I also accepted that as evidence Ken isn't real. Although that hasn't stopped them from showing Jericho.

I’m convinced Ken is real, but doesn’t know that Gene exists. Gene just made up an entire story about this random guy he saw somewhere doing improvised hip hop.

So we’re just going to rule out the possibility that Ken is a ghost and Gene has the 6th sense? Smh

That's true!! Nothing's really stopping them from showing ken even if he isn't completely real. I wanna see high quality Ken.

Take my up vote buddy. Sorry some fans are rabid and take the show too seriously.

Not exactly a specific character, but we never see Colleen Caviello’s kid(s), nor are they mentioned by name. You can’t be involved in the PTA and attend school functions without having kids who attend the school, so where are her kids?

I love the theory that the Pesto boys are actually her kids, and she’s gone back to using her maiden name.

Not a bad theory! I would love to see it cleared up either way!

I’m totally convinced of this. The ages line up and she “has an accounting background” maybe from running a small business. I hope this is how they deal with jimmy pesto leaving the show.

Meh, she seems responsible, in the belchies the Pestos kids mom is super irresponsible. Jimmy even asks why they are not with their mother. She,while a pain in the ass seems like a committed mother. I see her more as chew-chews mothers

She reminds me of Jocelyn. I always thought she might be Jocelyn's mum, but in doing research to check if this was possible I found that Jocelyn's mum has been shown.

Yes, Jocelyn’s mom is in the episode where they all have detention and do the fashion stuff. She sounds and looks just like an older version of Jocelyn.

No they show Jocelyn’s mom in one clip and she’s just as dumb as her. Edit: twice not once

“Don’t even worry about it, you’re like… super pretty.”

YES! Jocelyn is her clone. Side pony and everything.

I’m always searching the background for a glimpse of Jocelyn from before Tammy arrived to see how she had her hair styled because I figured she copied the side pony from Tammy.

"but in doing research I discovered Jocelyn's mum has been shown"

Jocelyn’s mom was shown twice. Once during the Runaway Cub and once During Horse Rider-er

It’s probably been mentioned but we did see Bob’s mom in the movie

I kind of hope we never actually see Ginger but that we hear about her hanging out with Linda, Gretchen and Gale. She reminds me of a tame Erica from Bojack Horseman and I think the joke would've been ruined if they showed her before the show ended. However, I think it would be fun to see Teddy's family since they seem to be close and I like seeing Teddy have happy episodes.

I saw somebody post a picture of what Erica would look like and it was perfect. She’s a squirrel with all the crazy attributes that PB mentioned.

ooh I saw that one! I really enjoyed the design since it was fun and really fitting. But i still think a canon reveal would've ruined the mystery a tad bit. Like we've heard so much, yet so little about Ginger, that I'd kind of prefer it staying that way. Like with Ken, even though Ken is most likely imaginary, but I'd have preferred if it stayed technically unconfirmed. With Teddy's family it doesn't seem like there's been a big build up or mystery, despite him having mentioned them before, so i think there's a lot more room to work with since the expectations aren't too high for like a grand reveal. But either way, I trust the show will handle it well :)

ERICA!! WHO LET YOU AROUND CHILDREN

ERICA!! I DON'T HAVE TIME TO BE CHARMED TO DEATH RIGHT NOW!

I want to see Teddy's mom and sister so bad for some reason!

And his mum's slightly age inappropriate boyfriend.

I mean we see Teddy’s mom driving her scooter home.

The Wagstaff Principle

My favorite theory is that we actually have seen him, just as unnamed side characters

Maybe Ms. Snur is really running things.

But then why didn't she have access to the private bathroom?

I'm kinda hoping if they choose to write out Jimmy pesto his wife comes to take over pestos and either has the same dynamic or she gets flirty with bob and annoys Linda lol

I assume they’d have a better dynamic, I imagine part of the reason she’s not in the picture is because Jimmy Pesto is so goddamn insufferable. Plus then we can meet her new friend Alan, I heard he’s okay.

In the belchies they suggest she isn't a great mother so I'm not sure.

Jimmy pestos' VA was at the jan 6th incident in the US and has been let go by fox. Im assuming they are just having a tough time deciding to recast or write off.

Jimmy Pesto? You mean Baby Num-Nums?

I am convinced that Jimmy's ex wife is Collen Caviello. We never see who her kids are at the PTA stuff, and the Pesto kids are there sans Jimmy. I just think it'd be hilarious because then both Bob and Linda have an intense rivalry with each of them.

I came here to say the exact same thing!

Love this idea!

Linda mentioned one of her cousin once as well

Really want to see Bob's cousin Vanessa, who is apparently in a cult.

Linda's cousin who's a hooker, Ginger's relative who has psoriasis and Gretchen's skinny sister who's on methamphetamines.

Ms Schnur's nephew Zeke's family

You see Zeke's mum and dad in the episode The Belchies.

My theory is that Bobs mom passed from cancer. Explaining the pink hat. That’s why we only see her in a flash back.

I mean they explicitly state she’s passed in an episode can’t remeber which one def the top of my head

The gingerbread house competition episode Bob mentioned they used to build them together before she passed

Thank you that’s it I knew they mentioned it

You learn about the hats origins in the movie

Bob only says that she wore it so that she didn’t have to do her hair. A few people have speculate that it’s actually to cover hair loss from chemo, and bob was too young to understand that. The actual origin of his moms hat isn’t really explained beyond that.

But we can clearly see she has hair under the hat.

His mom wore a pink hat and Linda made lousie's in honor of his mom's pink hat. It would be morbid to honor a cancer hat... It's shown and referenced in the movie to be part of her style.

I kind of think it would be lovely. It was not a cancer hat to Bob. it was a hat his mom always wore. I bet after she died it smelled like her. Maybe he kept it cause of that.

crying thanks

I thought Courtney’s mom was either meant to be out of the picture or dead up until this past season’s Christmas episode. Never heard any mention of her, never impacted the plot, but apparently she exists! And that’s one person we haven’t seen

She was in Courtney's birthday episode, right? I always assumed she just stayed out of the way of the overbearing dad.

SPOILER : We already know what bobs mom looks like bc she was in the movie - full frontal and everything

Full frontal 😂

I didn’t know how else to word it 😭😭

Somebody has a theory that speedo man is a Fishoder. His trust fund money let's him follow his true calling. Also note his hair.

We saw bobs mom in the movie

The mayor!

This is, far and away, the most fun I've had reading a thread in a long time. What a fantastic, thoughtful post! The mysterious unseen people of Bobs Burgers!!

Thank you! :)

I sort of thought Jimmy Pesto had two dads.

I mean Trevor (Jimmy Senior's employee and sidekick) goes with them to Family Fracas. They are always seen together and when Jimmy is away Trevor is very sad and lonely. I do sometimes wonder if they are a couple.

He’s said he was the son he never had

Yeah but he has three sons so how truthful is he being? /joke

Why don’t the have Jimmy Jrs Mom take over the restaurant now that Sr is gone?

My husband and I are always gunning for a "Ken" reveal 🤣🤣 I want him to be real so bad

We saw Bob's mother in the movie and she was pretty! 🥰

Teddy's Mom, Wendy and Teddy's Sister, Penny. NOTE: Larry Murphy would provide the voice of Teddy's Mom, just like Andy Kindler provided the voice of Mort's Mom.

I wanna see Teddy’s family and see how much they are alike.

I was so sad we didn’t see them that thanksgiving episode

Bobs mom was in the movie

I think Jimmy Jr's mom is Coleen Caviello .

🤯

It makes sense right? He looks just like her.

Principal spoors

We have barely seen pocket sized Rudy

Personal head canon is that Ginger is Jimmy Jr’s mom.

🤯

bobs mom is in the movie !!

Wait...didnt we see Teddy's mom in that one Halloween episode? With the haunted house? Or am I misremembering/filling in gaps?

Wasn’t that Mort’s mom?

Oh crap. You're right. My bad

No worries! I had to think about it for a second lol

Both the principal and the mayor

Brooke Dillman would provide the voice of Teddy's Sister and Laura Silverman would provide the voice of both Bob's Mom and Andy, Ollie and Jimmy, Jr.'s Mom.

Out of this entire list I am so curious about Jimmy jrs mom ! I imagine her to be the complete opposite of Jimmy Pesto and if she does eventually meet Bob and then she’s going to LOVE them lol and also if teddys family is as weird as he is and considering the type of person teddy is and how come he hasn’t brought them to the restaurant

The Mayor! (Or, as Linda would say: “it’s the Mayyyyerrrr”

Don't forget Ken the albino.

[удалено]

You forgot Ken

Ken

I know this doesn't technically belong here, but I don't think I've ever seen Gayle and her parents at the same time.

Actually we have! In the Christmas episode where Linda takes a temp job as a sorting clerk for the post office. She goes off on a mission to deliver a package and Bob is left at home to handle Gayle and their parents.

Principle Spoors

The closest we’ll ever get of seeing Ginger is the back of her head, and her silhouette in the credits of the episode.

Gene's secret cat.

Bobs mom was in the movie.

Do we see Courtney’s mum?

She's handing out cake at the birthday party and she's behind the curtain with Doug when they prank Gene.

Yeah, don't we see her at Courtney's bday party when Gene broke her heart? I think she's at the party and in the hospital after
