Best GIFs of Tina Belcher From 'Bob's Burgers' That Prove She's God’s Greatest Gift to Us

Culture

Bob's Burgers has received mountains of praise from critics, but even granted the impressively high standards set by the animated comedy series as a whole, there's one shining star who should be put on an especially high pedestal all her own: Tina Belcher. With her porcelain horse — the aptly named "Horselain" — and her endless romantic quest to capture Jimmy Junior's undying love, Tina is the perfect, awkward teen we didn't know we needed in our lives But boy are we glad she's here. 

"Tina is a hero for a different age," Sonia Saraiya wrote for the A.V. Club. "If millennials are going to crown ourselves the generation of New Sincerity — and we will, because despite our pretensions to irony, all we want from the world is sincerity — then Tina Belcher is our queen."
