The Bob's Burgers Season 14 Episode That Broke The Mold
While every episode of Bob's Burgers is hilarious and smart, there is one Bob's Burgers season 14 episode that stands out.
Who Is Mort On Bob's Burgers?
Fans wonder what happened to Mort on Bob's Burgers because he's such a memorable minor character. Mort is a mortician, which is where he gets his name, and he runs the business It's Your Funeral Home & Crematorium. Mort sells caskets and helps people plan funerals for loved ones. Mort is one of the compelling characters who makes Bob's Burgers one of the best animated sitcoms.
Mort often appears to be serious and lonely, although he spends a lot of time eating at the restaurant along with Teddy (Larry Murphy). While he seems to enjoy his job, he doesn't seem to have much of a sense of humor. His dry comments make him so unforgettable, especially when he hangs out with Teddy, who says many quirky quotes. In one hilarious scene, Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) says, "Look, I can't in good conscience serve you a burger every day." Teddy says:
"I don't see you shoving a veggie burger down Mort's throat and he eats a burger every day."
Mort answers:
"That's not true. I often get the soup."
Does Mort Disappear On Bob's Burgers?
Fans have been wondering what happened to Mort on Bob's Burgers because while he is in most of the episodes of seasons 1 and 2, he is only in a handful of episodes each season from that point on. However, he remains an important side character, especially in season 14. Mort is also a character in the Bob's Burger movie, and it was smart to include him since he's so popular.
Mort is in the season 14 episodes "Bully-ieve It or Not" and "Fraud of the Dead: Zombie-docu-pocalypse." In the former episode, Bob has come up with a special burger: the Burger Ball Pit. He is upset that Jimmy Pesto copies him and creates the Pizza Ball Pit. Mort is a crucial part of this storyline as he spends time at the restaurant and tells Bob that he shouldn't talk to a reporter about Jimmy's unoriginal idea. This episode proves that Jimmy is a kind friend to Bob and an important part of the community.
In "Fraud of the Dead: Zombie-docu-pocalypse," which is a unique and creative episode in the style of a zombie documentary, beloved side character Teddy is a zombie who hurts Mort. Since Mort runs the funeral home in town, this is a funny, silly, and clever storyline.
