From insulting Bob to his banter with Trev (David Herman), Eric Bauza embodies everything people love to hate about Jimmy Pesto. It’s a good thing the show didn’t permanently retire him or try to replace him with someone else to own the restaurant across the street. Jimmy Pesto’s voice actor replacement signifies a changing of the tide in the show, which is still finding ways to stay relevant and entertaining even after 14 seasons.
Another major voice acting change-up to occur this season deals with Marshmallow. She’s been on the show since the first season but has faced controversy for being a Black trans woman character voiced by a white cisgender man. She also had been absent from the series for several years, and in an interview with Looper in 2022, “Bob’s Burgers” creator Loren Bouchard admitted it was a challenge figuring out how to move forward with Marshmallow. Fortunately, the character made a triumphant return in Season 14, Episode 1 — “Fight at the Not Okay Chore-al” — where she was voiced by transgender artist, Jari Jones.
“Bob’s Burgers” feels more like itself than ever with the return of such characters. Plus, Season 14 has delved more into secondary characters featured throughout the show so far, such as Regular-Sized Rudy (Brian Huskey) and Zeke (Bobby Tisdale). Hopefully, “Bob’s Burgers” keeps it up and finds new ways to explore such beloved characters.
