Bob's Burgers - 2x08 - Bad Tina

    Tina falls in with a girl who is a bad influence at school.  While this does get her a little closer to Jimmy, Jr., she's getting in trouble with her parents, and her siblings are blackmailing her.  When she tries to break it off with the girl at school, the girl blackmails her.
    I jumped ahead to watch this one, since I really like Tina.  Her awkwardness is endearing.  And I wasn't disappointed.  This was a pretty fun episode.
    Tina gets some great scenes, and her fascination with writing erotic fan fiction is realized in the perfect way.  Her sensibilities are peculiar, but surprisingly non-sexual.  Her preoccupation with butt-touching is as far as it goes.  The inclusion of zombies seems mostly irrelevant, but it adds more of the horror fandom of the act.
    Her new friend is something I wouldn't notice, but I really liked how that character was written as well.  Having worked in high schools for about a year and a half, I feel confident in saying that they nailed exactly what the kind of girl is like.
    The other characters don't get huge plots.  Bob gets fascinated with a Blue Man Group-like show that focuses on pattycake.  It's not hilarious, but it's a nice side plot, and it doesn't take up too much time.
