Bob's Burgers Burger Book

Something I read made me ask, is that book even a real thing? So I looked on Amazon. Turns out it is real.

Seeing the book on Amazon I knew the fans would review it on YouTube.

In the television cartoon Bob writes the name of an inspired daily special hamburger. It's always based on a pun. It's one of the little contrivances of the show. Fans look for the pun that Bob writes on his menu blackboard. It's all just a word game not an actual hamburger thing. There are two more similar show contrivance in the introduction, the name of the extermination company on the van that screeches to a stop in front of the shop  and then abruptly leaves making the signage hard to read is always a cute pun on pet infestation, and the name of the shop in the rented space next door is always a pun on exotic boutiques such as you see in liberal towns. All three contrivances are puns. The writers of the television show are especially fond of puns. Any of these three contrivances can identify the specific episode.

So fans love them.

I must say, the show's fans are lovely people. Their comments to the the cartoon videos on Youtube videos are all very sweet. There are a lot of videos on YouTube reviewing this book and others demonstrating the recipes. Along with even more videos reviewing other Bob Burger related books, one about the show and another coloring book.

They are jokes. The names of the burgers are all jokes, not actual hamburgers. But the effort of contriving the jokes and later the book does prove you can make or enhance hamburgers with anything. Anything.

I watched a lot of Bob's Burgers videos tonight. They're all sweet as can be. They are the sweetest type of video available on YouTube that I've seen.

The book has over 900 reviews on Amazon with 5 star rating overall. None lower than 3 stars. The lower reviews, 3% talk about problems with markings and exotic ingredients. It's $13.00 hardcover, 128 pages. Small hand-size format. Plenty of cartoon graphics drawn from the show. 

A fan of the cartoon would appreciate receiving this book. 

Another video lingered over the table of contents enabling me to see some of the names. The name of each burger appeared on the blackboard in one of the episodes. So viewers will make a connection. It's a fan-based emotional connection. It's why the videos are fun. Making them, watching them, eating them.
