Uncle Teddy (Bob's Burgers)

Teddy, often referred to as "Uncle Teddy" by Bob Belcher's children, is a recurring character on the animated sitcom Bob's Burgers. He is Bob's overly enthusiastic and somewhat obsessive best customer and handyman. Teddy is a large, burly man with a distinctive mustache and is frequently seen wearing a tool belt, reflecting his profession. While he provides a reliable stream of income for the Belcher family's struggling burger restaurant, he also often overstays his welcome and displays clingy and occasionally intrusive behavior, creating both humor and discomfort within the family dynamic.

Teddy's background is often hinted at but rarely fully explained. He appears to be quite lonely and is drawn to the Belcher family, viewing them as a surrogate family. He frequently inserts himself into their lives, offering unsolicited advice and assistance, and is particularly fond of the Belcher children, especially Tina, Gene, and Louise, who alternately tolerate and exploit his affection.

Despite his sometimes awkward and overbearing behavior, Teddy is generally portrayed as well-meaning and fiercely loyal to the Belcher family. He has demonstrated acts of genuine kindness and has often gone to great lengths to help them in times of need, solidifying his position as a complex and integral part of the show's ensemble cast. His constant presence and quirky personality contribute significantly to the comedic and often heartwarming situations that the Belcher family encounters.
