Linda Belcher (née Genarro) is the happy-go-lucky, eccentric wife of Bob Belcher and the mother of Tina, Gene, and Louise Belcher. Linda has a broad sense of humor, constantly joking with her family and friends. She is wise and kind to her family and loves them very much. She co-owns Bob's Burgers with her husband and helps run the restaurant for him when he's busy or away. She is voiced by John Roberts. Profile Appearance Like the rest of the family, Linda has tan skin and black hair. She wears a red-orange long-sleeved shirt. Until "The Runway Club," Linda's top was a Henley shirt with two buttons, but now, it's a v-neck. In addition, she wears red cat glasses (inspired by Sally Jessy Raphael's[12]), blue jeans, and yellow shoes with socks. When working in the restaurant, she often wears a waist apron with a pen in the pocket on the right. In bed, she wears a white and pink nightgown. Sometimes, she wears light pink slippers and a richer pink bathrobe. In "Slumber Party," she wears a pink top and pink pants as her pajamas. In the same episode, she styles her hair into two large pigtails. In cold weather, Linda may wear a light sandy-colored bolero jacket over her regular outfit. She could also wear a heavy brown coat, which she fastened all the buttons. Linda could wear either of these outfits during the fall or the winter, but when she wears her overcoat for winter, she wears darker pants and black shoes that don't expose her legs. Linda has many different dresses for formal occasions, but she commonly wears her red-violet v-neck sheath dress. She wears a unique overcoat each time she wears this dress. In "Worms of In-Rear-ment," she wears a gray bolero, but in "Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl," it's indigo. She wears heels with the outfit that match her dress. In The Bob's Burgers Movie, Linda wears her everyday outfit but also switches to Gene's burger suit to advertise the restaurant. However, she adds a red bikini over it with white polka dots.

Happy-go-lucky, enthusiastic, funny, and friendly, Linda supports her husband Bob's dream through thick and thin. She has a joyful enthusiasm for whatever she undertakes, from dinner theater ("Hamburger Dinner Theater") to synchronized swimming ("Synchronized Swimming") to road rage ("Food Truckin'"). Linda is incredibly outgoing, flamboyant, and feminine and has absurd obsessions with performing arts and dramatic tradition. She occasionally takes extreme measures to pursue these and encourages her family/bystanders to join her in enacting them. In "Nice-Capades," Linda helps Tina, Gene, and Louise with a scheme since it lets her make costumes for them and see them sing. She is also very extroverted and is often rambling or very talkative. Linda sings most of all the characters and can break into song at any moment. In "Hamburger Dinner Theater," she lies to Bob, telling him she is going to Pickles while going to see a pirate-themed dinner theater show. Linda may have seen the show before, as she sang along with the actors. Linda also loves chanting, especially in picketing, because she can chant in public like that. Sometimes, her passion for performance arts and drama can irritate her husband and children. In "All That Gene," she kept bugging Gene when she found out he became a cheerleader, upsetting Gene enough to yell at her. In "Hawk & Chick," Linda brags to Tina about the number of roles in a movie their family is dubbing since she has four while Tina only has three. But after Linda finds out Tina has a significant role in the film (therefore, having more lines), Linda keeps trying to speak over Tina and take over her role, even at the showing for the movie. It can also annoy other people. In "Carpe Museum," protests chase Linda away after she tries to make them take off their pants for a chant. She is lenient and supportive toward her whole family while still garnering their love and respect. She is incredibly kind to her emotionally unstable sister

While usually open-minded and accepting of others, she has strong opinions and expectations that she will force onto others regardless of their feelings, such as renting Louise's room to Teddy without talking to her. The only things that waver her are online parent blogs ("Mother Daughter Laser Razor") and her parents. In "Fight at the Not Okay Chore-ral," Linda has a phone call with her, and Gloria expresses disappointment at Linda for not making her children do chores at home. The same day of the call, she tries to make her children do chores. Her servility to her parents lessens after this episode, however. In a conversation with Louise, Linda decides she should be the only one to determine how to raise her children. Despite this, Linda is a pushover, always easily convinced by her kids to do all the work on their school projects, but she doesn't think she's a pushover ("Synchronized Swimming"). Louise, in particular, can make Linda do whatever she wants. For example, she has her get the family together for a family meeting ("The Kids Run the Restaurant"), to get her to be the kid's swimming coach ("Synchronized Swimming"), and to sell Bob's espresso machine ("The Unnatural"). While Linda is usually fairly laid-back regarding how she raises her kids, she is not above punishing them when they act disrespectfully or push her too far. She has sent both Tina and Louise to their rooms for talking back to her ("Bad Tina" & "Mother Daughter Laser Razor") and threatened to give Louise a large number of chores if she ruined Gayle's dinner party date with Phillip Frond ("The Cook, the Steve, the Gayle, & Her Lover"). Linda can sometimes be petty for these punishments, such as grounding all three of her kids after they caused her to have an embarrassing experience at the supermarket ("The Gayle Tales"). Sometimes, she acts condescendingly to her family members to prevent them from realizing her grudges or seeing something wrong, but they often do. An example is when she

Occasionally, Linda's beliefs will cause her to act irrationally, including around Tina, Gene, and Louise. She usually ends up feeling guilty and thinks she may be a bad mother after her plans fail and her kids react negatively. However, Bob often insists that she tries her best and knows how much she loves their kids ("All That Gene" & "Worms of In-Rear-ment"). S5e6 Father of the Bob "Here, Bob, have some Christmas magic!" ("Father of the Bob") She also has an alcohol problem, specifically wine. Linda brings alcohol everywhere, even when it's not appropriate, even when she's chaperoning at the school, like her children's field trips ("Carpe Museum") or school dances ("Two for Tina"). According to her, however, she "doesn't get drunk. She just has fun ("Bad Tina")." S2e4 Burger Boss Linda ♪ If you're not real, then how come I feel this way? Little babies ♪ ("Burgerboss") Linda is obsessed with baby-related things, so much so that they may even jeopardize her, her family, and others. She buys miniature water bottles in "Dawn of the Peck," and Linda still has the ornaments Tina, Gene, and Louise made as babies ("The Bleakening"). When Linda loses the trinkets, Bob suggests their kids could make new ones. However, she says, "I don't want new ornaments, Bob. The ornaments from when they were young and cute, not from now." In "Burgerboss," Linda reminds Bob about how he had to take their credit card away from her because she kept buying a bunch of porcelain baby dolls. She babysits Sidecar, Critter, and Mudflap's baby in "Wag the Hog" and passes him off as her child. Linda didn't even know if anyone would pay her: the previous babysitter had just put Linda in charge since they came to Critter and Mudflap's house, and the mother of three agreed. The last babysitter warned Linda about Sidecar, who proved to be a dangerous beast to Linda, other children, and other mothers at a baby center Linda took him to. She also buys a Dutch baby pancake at a diner
