In this Thanksgiving special of Challenge Accepted, Frank and Jonathan celebrate the Belchers by ranking their top Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving episodes and crowning a definitive winner. They break down why the holiday episodes hit so hard, talk about the emotional gut punches hidden inside the jokes, and revisit the wild chaos of turkeys, hoarding, broken ovens, and cursed outdoor cooking. The guys also reveal the results of their "Turkey Brawl" social media tournament and wrap up with a few extra Thanksgiving watch recommendations to keep your holiday cozy and geeky. Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving - CA Timestamps and Topics 00:00 - Welcome and Thanksgiving setup Shout out to Thomas and Cristina on their new baby, and intro to the Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving episode ranking concept. Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving - CA 01:00 - How the episode works Frank explains the format: each host picks their top three Thanksgiving episodes, they talk themes, favorite moments, and what Bob's Burgers "teaches" about the holiday. 02:00 - Jonathan's #3: "Thanks-hoarding" (Season 8) They unpack Teddy's hoarding storyline, his emotional backstory, and how the episode balances relatable anxiety with Belcher chaos and big heart. Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving - CA 03:45 - Frank's #3: "Dawn of the Peck" Discussion of the "bird uprising" Black Friday marathon, pecking order jokes, Linda's power arc, and background gags like the infamous "Tickle Boat." 06:00 - Jonathan's #2: "Gail Making Bob Sled" (Season 6) Bob's snowbound nightmare with Gail, Mr. Business, and the inflatable pool sled gets a full breakdown, including how Gail's dramatics nearly kill Bob for absolutely no reason. Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving - CA 08:15 - Frank's #2: "I Bob Your Pardon" They talk about the turkey pardon scandal, Linda fangirling over the mayor, the caper to rescue the doomed turkey, and the reporter who gets dragged into Belcher chaos. 11:20 - Jonathan's #1: "Now We're Not Cooking With Gas" (Season 10) The guys dig into Bob's survivalist fantasy crashing into reality when the gas goes out, the backyard fire pit disaster, the fire department interventions, and the surprisingly perfect turkey under all the char. Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving - CA 14:20 - Frank's #1: "Turkey in a Can" They revisit Bob's allergy meds, the mystery of the toilet turkeys, Gail's cat, Tina's struggle to be "grown up," and the romantic misunderstanding with the deli guy. 18:00 - The Turkey Brawl results and final Top 3 Frank reveals the social media tournament winners: "Turkey in a Can" "An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal" "I Bob Your Pardon" Then he and Jonathan lock in their final ranking for the definitive Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving list. Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving - CA 20:10 - What to watch on Thanksgiving Beyond Bob's Burgers, they recommend Thanksgiving viewing like Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Addams Family Values, and some cozy Westerns, plus the usual football and early Christmas movie season. 21:37 - Outro and thanks Wrap up with holiday well wishes, a reminder to check out Hulu's "Bob's Giving" collection, and a call to leave those 5 star reviews.  Key Takeaways Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving episodes nail the mix of heartfelt family moments and unhinged holiday chaos, which is why they have basically become comfort viewing for the hosts. "Thanks-hoarding" uses Teddy's clutter problem to explore how childhood trauma and a fixation on "fixing" things can leave you emotionally stuck. "Dawn of the Peck" turns a discount turkey disaster into a full bird uprising, while still keeping the focus on the Belchers' reactions and one liners. "Gail Making Bob Sled" shows how far Bob will go for family, even when Gail is clearly the source of her own drama. "I Bob Your Pardon" works as both a goofy turkey heist and a small town political scandal, with the Belchers accidentally blowing open a fake pardon scheme. "Now We're Not Cooking With Gas" captures Bob's stubborn perfectionism as he tries to salvage Thanksgiving with a makeshift outdoor oven. "Turkey in a Can" stands out as the ultimate Thanksgiving episode, blending mystery, character insight, and one of the show's funniest running misunderstandings. The Challenge Accepted "Turkey Brawl" confirmed what the hosts already felt: the Thanksgiving run of Bob's Burgers is one of the strongest holiday traditions in modern animation. Memorable Quotes "He never has a fully just easy Happy Thanksgiving. He's supposed to cook and eat." "Bob almost dies in the snow, and she's just playing around the whole time." "It's not the first time I had a special baloney sandwich out of the toilet. It'll be the first time I don't use gloves." "No, I'm straight. I mean, almost straight. I mean, you'd like me."

It is time once more to enter the gates of VAL-halla, our retrospective series on the late Hollywood icon Val Kilmer. Paul, Arlo, and Eric set their sights on what are possibly Kilmer's two best performances.

The gang discusses Val's generational run in the '90s; why The Doors works when most rock biopics don't; and debate the merits of '90s Westerns.
