Bob’s Burgers Writer Wendy Molyneux Challenged The Internet To Raise $10K To Make Her Watch The “Entourage” Movie

May 29, 2015
Uncategorized

Wendy must have known that forcing someone to do something they really don’t want to do for charity is one of the Internet’s favorite things.

Wendy Molyneux, a writer on Bob’s Burgers and live variety show Wits, started an Internet campaign to raise money for cancer research. Her idea is that she would force herself to watch the Entourage movie if $10,000 were raised, and, of course, the GoFundMe campaign is almost at $17,000 as of this post.

As of now, she’ll not only go see Entourage twice in theaters with her own money not from the campaign, but do so in Drama Mama Pajamas and carrying a Turtle cup.

We wonder if she’ll up the ante with anything else if she gets to $50K or even six figures.

If you want to join in Wendy’s personal torture for charity, you can donate here.

On top of their being a crossover episode with Family Guy after a decade of being hit animated series on Fox, The Simpsons will have a cameo from the titular Bob of Bob’s Burgers in the very same episode.

The Simpsons’ other big crossover, the one with Futurama, is going to air on Nov. 9th that will indeed feature the voices of the Futurama cast. 

The Simpsons are really going for the fences with this season and we can’t wait to see it.

There Will Be a Bob’s Burgers Comic Book Coming Out This Summer

That’s right. Bob’s Burgers is going to expand to having its own comic book like many Fox animated series have done in the past.

It’s set to release in August from Dynamite Entertainment and will be completely be written and illustrated by the folks behind Bob’s Burgers.

So, we think it will definitely stay true to the show.

Bob’s Burgers Season 4 Premiere Is Tonight

It would seem like it’s a big stay at home tonight as not only is Breaking Bad ending, but Bob’s Burgers is starting up again. We’re not sure how that will balance out for you personally, but we know that there won’t be conflict in catching both on TV.

Season 4 of Bob’s Burgers starts 8:30PM on Fox (and Breaking Bad is on at 9PM).

‘Bob’s Burgers’ Renewed For a 5th Season

It would seem Fox has another animated franchise hit on their hands and Bob’s Burgers would be not far off from from syndication on multiple networks.

Maybe, they’ll retake over that one Fatburger as a real life Bob’s Burger again.

Bob’s Burgers Returning at End of September

Bob’s Burgers is coming back for its 4th season at the end of the month, Sun. Sept. 29th 8:30PM, for any of those wondering/need a specific date to look forward to. 

Also, interesting to note is that Fox seems to be grouping all their animated shows under the Fox Animation Domination banner as you’ll see at the bottom of the Bob’s Burgers ad that John Roberts tweeted out. We wonder if that makes the Fox ADHD brand a little more well rounded.

Perhaps, in a few seasons/years, Adult Swim will be their whole entire channel?

2) Tonight’s COMEDY CRAWL has nothing to do with any massive numbers of birds dying or any other signs of a apocalpyse, so that’s enough reason right there to go.  Bob’s Burgers @ Largo-The Coronet Theatre 8PM $20, Garfunkel and Oates @ UCB Theatre 8PM $10 (stand by only), Norm MacDonald @ Hollywood Improv 8PM $20, Stood Up Friday Night @ Moving Arts Theatre 10PM $5.
