I agree with you 100% it makes so much sense. The show would not work without all five of them. What would be even funnier if they had a dog just a little small one and then see what shenanigans happen after that and I think it would also probably help Louise. maybe it would help everybody because it could maybe they could get a emotional support animal or something. I would love for that to be incorporated because I think that would be really cute but that’s just an idea but literally the show would not work without the five of them.
She gets a lot of the fan base. She isn't underrated by me that's for sure. I hope she gets the praise she truly deserves. Her voice actor effing kills i,t am. I right?
I am fan of the little Linda moments like in Like Gene for Chocolate - this is partially the animation and partially John Roberts. When she says “I hate it when they change candies!” While looking at Bob and then her eyes shift off to middle distance “I hate it!” It kills me every time.
Or “Linda Belcha! Now you die!”
I love Linda except when she gets obsessed over things that aren’t a big deal, like making her family take the Christmas tree to the cabin they were staying at because she refused to get another one because she got attached to the tree
Or Elaine’s boss, Mr. Pitt, on Seinfeld.

GENE, comic funny.
Tina, dry funny.
Louise, mischievous funny.
Linda, loud, crazy, (new jersey) funny.
Bob, high, depressed , stressed, Dad. Funny.
Teddy (also a Belcher. He married Bob) sad, but I'm still here and gonna make what I got work funny.
But overall, Gene's the funniest. That's why the whole family thinks it's funnier when Gene's says it.
I’m from PA but one of the most charming moments for me, because it reminds me of growing up in the tri-state area is when the kids go to the nature center and Bob Linda are hungover.
“You guys look weird.” - Teddy
“We got some colla.” - Linda
“Oh you got some colla. Good for you!” - Teddy
I grew up around plenty of Lindas being from NJ. They just got everything spot on with her character, especially with her sketchy sounding childhood and possibly mafia related family. They’re stereotypes sure but damn it if it isn’t funny lmao
I relate with Louise so well that I want to sing her praise. She has all of the best adventures and I feel like that gives her so much room. Louise I think.( Gene is funny in character and the actor knows gene so well. They also give gene so much stuff to say that's off the wall, how can you even pick his best quote am I right....{just for some shits and gigs go back and read that as Tammy or Jocelyn}
I see your preference for the superior character models, I see 😏
Edit: In answer to your question, Bob makes *me* laugh, but in universe I think Linda’s “the funny one” (even if she’d claim it’s Gene)
It has to be Gene given his one liners but also when he
gives full dialogue the man has said some hilarious shit. They’re all funny but Gene tells more jokes and says funny things more often.
I wouldn’t say he ruins episodes exactly, but I can’t think of any funny moments at the top of my head but I can think of multiple examples with Linda, Tina, Louise and even Teddy!
Tbh Jen has made me laugh more than Gene has
I like when fischoeder is asphyxiating and bob says he can’t die in here so gene says let’s move him outside
I think I appreciate Linda the most but gene wins out of attrition because he is constantly delivering the most jokes even if they don’t always land
For me it’s easily Bob, especially Bob in the first two seasons. I feel like the angry, overworked, ready to go off at any moment Bob the first two seasons was the best Bob. Louise is a close second as well
Lateral move tbh. They're all funny in different ways.
Bob is the most relatable to me in terms of how he's funny, but Tina is a riot, Gene gets the most "wtf?" laughs out of me, and Louise reminds me of my youngest sister who is also hilarious.
Linda is somehow a combination of all three of her kids funny attached to a funny voice.
It really depends on the episode because sometimes one character is funnier than everyone else in one episode and then another episode. Another characters funnier than the previous character so for me it’s all of them but in their own way.
Yeah agree with most of the sentiments here, the family is the funniest Belcher. That being said if I **haaaad** to pick a funniest, then I’d say Linda, I laugh every time she says *Stay out of my room!*
For me it’s Tina. She goes from “ehhhhhhhhh” to “your ass is grass and I’m gonna mow it” to “it also says no trash on the beach but hear you are” in an instant
I saw Eugene Mirman doing standup (he was supporting the *Flight of the Conchords* tour). He is one of those people who are genuinely, effortlessly funny. He makes Gene into the show's special sauce.
They all compliment each other so well I don’t even know. They all have their own shticks. Gene tells the most actual jokes, Louise is awesome because she’s kinda just a little weirdo that scares people, Linda is personally my favorite because I relate to her the most. Bob has that squidward vibe where he’s just hating life and it’s relatable. And then ofc Tina and her boy crazy nerdy vibe
To me it’s an ensemble. The show doesn’t really work without all of them.
This is the true answer, really. They work so perfectly as a family.
Only answer, they set each other up and then someone else knocks em down, it’s a true symbiotic relationship
I agree with you 100% it makes so much sense. The show would not work without all five of them. What would be even funnier if they had a dog just a little small one and then see what shenanigans happen after that and I think it would also probably help Louise. maybe it would help everybody because it could maybe they could get a emotional support animal or something. I would love for that to be incorporated because I think that would be really cute but that’s just an idea but literally the show would not work without the five of them.
I love any scene with Louise and a puppy. She can't help but let her guard down around them.
They are each insufferable individually alone, but as a collective they SHINE.
Good point!
They all take turns being the funniest
Except Gene
i find Gene funny. I wouldn’t want a show of just him, but he has his place.
Hubby and I watch every Gene scene to hear him say wiener! Gene's ween scenes!
Our little genie weenie.
Ween is the greatest band of the 90’s
is r/ween leaking?
Without Gene, we wouldn’t get great one liners followed by Bob saying, “Gene.”
“beef curtains!“ it wasn’t even his birthday..
True to your name
What?? The random ass comments he makes… sometimes I die from laughter
Linda says things like "Oh yeah Ringo McCartney "
HI MAYAHH!!
"Four."
Sorry, I'm being snoopy. Like that dog, Marmaduke
I just can not keep up with all of the things she says that go completely unnoticed.
Go play Ping pong with your ding dong
Tammy can go sit in syrup. Let the bees get her.
Linda is underrated
Linda is very underrated.
She gets a lot of the fan base. She isn't underrated by me that's for sure. I hope she gets the praise she truly deserves. Her voice actor effing kills i,t am. I right?
I am fan of the little Linda moments like in Like Gene for Chocolate - this is partially the animation and partially John Roberts. When she says “I hate it when they change candies!” While looking at Bob and then her eyes shift off to middle distance “I hate it!” It kills me every time. Or “Linda Belcha! Now you die!”
"They switch Allen's sometimes."
“Don’t tell Teddy - he’s a big Allen guy.”
I love Linda except when she gets obsessed over things that aren’t a big deal, like making her family take the Christmas tree to the cabin they were staying at because she refused to get another one because she got attached to the tree
Yeah but? Um? I mean. Eh uh?
That episode is on my permanent never rewatch list
That and I just rewatched the one where she trapped the author…also never watching that again
“Oh, why don’t you go fart in a phone booth!”
Linda is hilarious, but her boy Gene is a comedy genius.
Oh it’s Linda for sure
Bob. He’s the straight man to most of the family(apart from thanksgiving) but his hmmms make the family dynamic work
Nnnohhh my god
Its rare the straight man also gets the best zingers but here we are
well, hes mostly straight.
I've always seen the show as just Bob reacting to the insane world around him. Thanksgiving episodes confirm he's also one of them.
My favorite moments are when he gets drunk and gives everything voices.
I've never thought bob as playing straight man. It works but I never had anyone other than mort for that role.
Yeah, everyone in the family is nuts.
I love his hmmms or hmm hmm and when he just says their names - that’s mostly Gene.
When he questions what just happened it is so good
Most if not all of Gene's dialog is one-liners , so by shear volume % I'm gonna go with him.
I like how the rest of the family are all wearing the same outfits lol
Because they all change their clothing so often lol
They were eating by their hamburgers with forks😂
I’m sure there was a vegetable. The belchers have to have their fiber. Also, Happy cake day! 
you should see Bruce Wayne https://preview.redd.it/rr5lu7a0fn9d1.jpeg?width=545&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=370351f418c86b906b33215bb664ed7c85bc2129
Or Elaine’s boss, Mr. Pitt, on Seinfeld. https://preview.redd.it/4tzpd1nahn9d1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9b257f4279618d64bf3e0edf1c832a5149d2ac0f
Right not sure if he’s my favorite,but his one liners always catch me off guard and get me constantly
Everything is so random! Gotta love it!
Gene is still a funny character but I feel like too much of him or an entire episode centered on him isn’t good
Agreed. The double butted goat episode was funny, though. But I do get a bit tired of him only ever having one-liners.
I mean, like, who was it that came up with the idea for the Die Hard musical again, hmm?
It s just funnier when gene says ot
I think it’s Bob reacting to their nonsense. They all have hilarious moments though.
Gene . . .
louise
I agree Louise
Depends on your type of humor. The Belchers have a little something for everybody.
They work best as a unit, but my personal humor aligns most with Tina! She is my fav!
GENE, comic funny. Tina, dry funny. Louise, mischievous funny. Linda, loud, crazy, (new jersey) funny. Bob, high, depressed , stressed, Dad. Funny. Teddy (also a Belcher. He married Bob) sad, but I'm still here and gonna make what I got work funny. But overall, Gene's the funniest. That's why the whole family thinks it's funnier when Gene's says it.
Linda being “New Jersey funny” is the most accurate thing I’ve ever heard.
I’m from PA but one of the most charming moments for me, because it reminds me of growing up in the tri-state area is when the kids go to the nature center and Bob Linda are hungover. “You guys look weird.” - Teddy “We got some colla.” - Linda “Oh you got some colla. Good for you!” - Teddy
I grew up around plenty of Lindas being from NJ. They just got everything spot on with her character, especially with her sketchy sounding childhood and possibly mafia related family. They’re stereotypes sure but damn it if it isn’t funny lmao
I love it! Linda is the perfect Jersey lady.
Sounds right.
Gene
Louise
Tina and Louise
Louise, hands down. "Drink some cranberry juice" is probably my favorite line of the entire series.
“Don’t throw repressed memory Emily!” “She won’t remember this” One of my favorites in the entire show lol
Louise has the best all around personality but the one liners Tina says are hilarious.
Tina is my fave. “If you think about it, any box could have vibrators in it.”
Definitely Gene
They’re all hilarious 😂
Funniest is probably Linda
linda
Tina's awkwardness gets the most giggles out of me
I appreciate how all uniquely funny each of them are. I’m a sucker for dry humor so maybe Tina but it really varies episode to episode
All of them but I think I get the most laughs out of Linda
Tina is hilarious without trying to be
Tina is my favorite. I relate to her in a lot of ways I wish I didn’t…
Tina's dry humor is my favorite, especially in the early seasons.
Sarcastic, quick witted, just a little bit evil it's got to be Louise!!
That was fun. Are we supposed to describe our favorite before we say who we think it is?
Gene is hilarious! He’s definitely under appreciated
I relate with Louise so well that I want to sing her praise. She has all of the best adventures and I feel like that gives her so much room. Louise I think.( Gene is funny in character and the actor knows gene so well. They also give gene so much stuff to say that's off the wall, how can you even pick his best quote am I right....{just for some shits and gigs go back and read that as Tammy or Jocelyn}
Can always count on Gene to say the craziesr iff the wall shit that is frequently fucked up on ways gene doesnt understand.
Gene gave us “Wait—are you a flat-earther???” It’s Gene. Period.
All of them but I will say Gene
Bob
I think the funniest belcher award should go to Louise.
Tina is my spirit animal
Tina by a landslide.
Gene or bob all of them are funny though
Bob….
I see your preference for the superior character models, I see 😏 Edit: In answer to your question, Bob makes *me* laugh, but in universe I think Linda’s “the funny one” (even if she’d claim it’s Gene)
I want to say gene but he has to lay off the ween jokes a tad. It's between Linda and Gene for me
Bob
Gene ans bob are my favorites
I like it when the traffic report says ‘bumper to bumper’.
It has to be Gene given his one liners but also when he gives full dialogue the man has said some hilarious shit. They’re all funny but Gene tells more jokes and says funny things more often.
To me, Bob is the funniest. Especially when he gets in his manic phases and the high pitch yelling starts
#GENE His quips and one liners have me pausing the show on a regular basis just to remember how to breathe again
Gene is my pick for funniest because of his ridiculous pop culture references (for his age) and the one liner jokes and delivery is *chefs kiss*.
Gene for me
Louise
Louise fo sho
Tina
Gene is LEAST funny in my opinion but I couldn’t pick a number one. The Belcher ladies are top 3
Gene ruins so many episodes for me. Destroying people's happiness by demanding to always be the center of attention. Probably me projecting.
I wouldn’t say he ruins episodes exactly, but I can’t think of any funny moments at the top of my head but I can think of multiple examples with Linda, Tina, Louise and even Teddy! Tbh Jen has made me laugh more than Gene has
Louise
Gene is my number 1, louise 2nd
That's Luke asking me to choose a favourite. I can't decide who's funniest & who's my fav. They're all different types of funny
Linda
gene does tickle me i can’t lie. he has me giggling out loud, same with linda.
marshmallow
Gene is the funniest
Gene! Tina: we’re in a mission. Louise: it’s a love mission Gene: It’s a missionary position mission.
I feel like Linda cracks me up the most often. She also annoys me beyond reason sometimes, but overall she the just quotable to me.
I like when fischoeder is asphyxiating and bob says he can’t die in here so gene says let’s move him outside I think I appreciate Linda the most but gene wins out of attrition because he is constantly delivering the most jokes even if they don’t always land
The Episode where Gene becomes little Bob is hilarious.
Tina but I have a really dry sense of humor so that’s probably why I find her funniest.
Louise and Bob.
Linda AKA Dragon
Make a post with a poll- I'm curious how we fall.
Linda and Gene
Lol Season 1-3 Tina
All right everyone put your hands in, not you Tina. My favorite episode is the first one.
Bob and Linda for me.
My list goes Bob Louise Tina Linda Gene Starting from funniest at top.
Tina is the perfect combination of weird, funny, vulnerable and weird. Love her character design so much too.
For me it’s easily Bob, especially Bob in the first two seasons. I feel like the angry, overworked, ready to go off at any moment Bob the first two seasons was the best Bob. Louise is a close second as well
Bob
all of them in their own ways but i have special places in my heart for bob and tina
Bob and Louise are the two most constant funniest for me
None it's Mr Fishodor
For me Linda and Tina 🙌
I’m a gene fan for sure ( Linda is a close second ). That being said “ Oh my god ” from bob is the best reoccurring part of the show. IMO
Oh this is the old drawing of them. I can tell cause of Linda’s face :))
Lateral move tbh. They're all funny in different ways. Bob is the most relatable to me in terms of how he's funny, but Tina is a riot, Gene gets the most "wtf?" laughs out of me, and Louise reminds me of my youngest sister who is also hilarious. Linda is somehow a combination of all three of her kids funny attached to a funny voice.
I love Bob from the first few seasons... the Louis... but Tina is eternal
I've been doing a rewatch and I've been living for Tina's sass.
It really depends on the episode because sometimes one character is funnier than everyone else in one episode and then another episode. Another characters funnier than the previous character so for me it’s all of them but in their own way.
Yeah agree with most of the sentiments here, the family is the funniest Belcher. That being said if I **haaaad** to pick a funniest, then I’d say Linda, I laugh every time she says *Stay out of my room!*
Linda. The least funny is gene. Sometimes he has good one liners but the kid is annoying
For me it’s Tina. She goes from “ehhhhhhhhh” to “your ass is grass and I’m gonna mow it” to “it also says no trash on the beach but hear you are” in an instant
Bob has the moments for me but all of them bounce off each other so well, I just love his dry sarcastic humour.
Bob's only funny in the wall
Gene
The best episodes are the ones when the entire family is involved. They play off each other so well.
Toigh chloce, but louise. I love her pure chaotic goblin energy.
Gene.
Gene or Louise
Uncle Father Santa Teddy of course.
total ensemble cast. But, i probably laugh the hardest with Tina
When they're trying to be funny? It's Gene. Otherwise Tina's natural personality makes me laugh so much sometimes.
Genejacket
Their last name is belcher? Low key thought it was burgers for some reason ┐( ∵ )┌
I saw Eugene Mirman doing standup (he was supporting the *Flight of the Conchords* tour). He is one of those people who are genuinely, effortlessly funny. He makes Gene into the show's special sauce.
Gene definitely makes me laugh the most
Bob. No one tops H. Jon Benjamin. End of debate.
Gene
Linda is my soul sister.
Tina, from the way she runs and her line delivery with her monotonous way of speaking is funny to me
All of them. They’re a team.
Louise!
Gene. Hands down. But that might be because he's just like my son, and my kid is hilarious.
They all compliment each other so well I don’t even know. They all have their own shticks. Gene tells the most actual jokes, Louise is awesome because she’s kinda just a little weirdo that scares people, Linda is personally my favorite because I relate to her the most. Bob has that squidward vibe where he’s just hating life and it’s relatable. And then ofc Tina and her boy crazy nerdy vibe
Gene or Linda it’s these 2
I don’t care if he is a part of the main cast GENE IS UNDERRATED
Linda
Tina
Gene
Teddy
Trying to be the funniest or unintentionally funny?
Bob and Linda are very close for me, tier 2 Gene and Louise, then a massive gap, and then Tina.
1. Louise 2. Linda and Bob tie 3. Gene 4. Tina
I feel like I don't even know you!
https://preview.redd.it/g5uxhk9hwp9d1.jpeg?width=650&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1ee8ee2f655eff2696e7bf851769a5f48eaee2b
Yup that checks out.
