Fall Asleep To The Entire Story Of Louise Belcher

Louise Belcher's complete story from Bob's Burgers, told as a full-length sleep story covering her creation, her defining episodes, and how she grew from schemer to a fully realized character. This video walks through the entire arc of Louise Belcher, the youngest child of the Belcher family, beginning with how Loren Bouchard built her out of a voice, a hat, and an idea about fearlessness. It moves episode by episode through the moments that defined her, from her first fully formed scheme in season one to the premiere that took her bunny ears away and showed what they were holding up. The narration is paced slowly and deliberately for listening in bed, with no need to follow every detail. It is part of Bob's Bedtime, a series of long-form character histories told at the pace of a closing day. *What's covered in this video:* How Loren Bouchard cast Kristen Schaal as Louise out of certainty rather than auditions, after his assistant Holly Schlesinger, later a Bob's Burgers writer, told him to see Schaal perform live. The origin of the pink bunny ear hat, partly inspired by the anime Tekkonkinkreet and its boy in a bear hat, designed to make viewers see Louise as both a small child and Bugs Bunny at once. Bouchard's description of the hat as a security blanket worn by the family's toughest member, and his refusal to explain in-universe where the ears came from beyond confirming they are not horns. "Ear-sy Rider," the season three premiere that aired on Fox on September 30, 2012, written by Dan Fybel and Rich Rinaldi, directed by Anthony Chun, which debuted the updated main title sequence and beat American Dad with roughly 5.5 million viewers. The theft of Louise's ears by the teenage skateboarder Logan, her use of a hoodie as a substitute, and her escalation from bribery to stalking to get them back. The parallel adult plot of "Ear-sy Rider," in which Mort buries Horny Dave of the One-Eyed Snakes and the gang's new leader Critter wrecks the restaurant, pays for the damage, and leaves Bob a card redeemable for a favor. "Sacred Cow," the season one episode written by Nora Smith and directed by Jennifer Coyle, in which documentary filmmaker Randy, voiced by Paul F. Tompkins, ties a cow named Moolissa outside the restaurant and starts the Cow-ntdown. Louise's first complete scheme, sculpting Moolissa's droppings into emoticons with a pastry bag so Tina believes the cow is sending her messages, then shaping an angry face to end it. "Mother Daughter Laser Razor," the season three episode in which Linda fears Louise loves Bob more and tricks her into Dakota Applebaum's bonding seminar, where Louise extorts the attendees, encounters Logan and his mother Cynthia, and escapes the Uter Room and its endless loop of Freaky Friday.
