The fifteenth season of the American animated television series Bob's Burgers premiered on Fox on September 29, 2024.
On January 27, 2023, Bob's Burgers was renewed for a fourteenth and fifteenth broadcast season by Fox, keeping it on the air until 2025. [1]
Jari Jones, the voice actress for Marshmallow, prepared for her musical debut in the episode Hope n' Mic Night by drawing on her background in musical theater. [2] Marshmallow was previously voiced by David Herman but recast with Jones in 2020. [3] Speaking to Deadline , Jones also reflected on her positive experiences joining the cast, and her adjustment of her portrayal of Marshmallow using her speaking voice and choosing to forgo Herman's previous portrayal with a deeper, masculine voice. [2] Jones described the decision as wishing to discontinue the trans stereotype of a "deep-voiced girl in a dress" and stated that producers were "very open and accepting" of her perspective. [2]
In the episode, Marshmallow sings a cover of the Alessi Brothers' single "Seabird". The rendition by Jones as well as two other songs performed in the episode—a rendition of "Hold on Loosely" by Teddy (Larry Murphy) and Mort (Andy Kindler), and the original song "Draw Butt on Your Face" by the Belcher kids (Kristen Schaal, Eugene Mirman, and Dan Mintz) and Linda (John Roberts)—were released before the episode premiere for streaming and download on various platforms as an EP titled Bob's Burgers Open Mic Night by Fox.

| 277 | 1 | "The Tina Table: The Tables Have Tina-ed" | Bernard Derriman | Greg Thompson | September 29, 2024 | DASA16 | 0.72 [4] |
Tina's boring Wagstaff News segment is in danger of being cancelled. She agrees to feature Mr. Frond's new counseling computer game, which he designed. The game diagnoses students' personality types and becomes a sensation. However, it diagnoses wildly contrary personality types to the students, who begin working to conform to their results. As the game moves toward district-wide rollout, Tina discovers that Henry Haber hastily programmed it for Frond, who knows the game gives randomized results. She struggles on whether to reveal the truth, given how popular her show has become. She has Frond play the game live and, thanks to Henry's programming help, it negatively diagnoses him, forcing him to admit on air that the game is fake. With the rollout cancelled, students return to their lives, and Mr. Grant opts to keep Tina's show, appreciating her commitment to the truth. Meanwhile, Bob and Linda begin giving Teddy fake, elaborate spoilers for horror movies that he's too scared to see. One of Bob's imaginative summaries actually motivates Teddy to see one of the films, ultimately exposing their ruse. However, Teddy finds Bob and Linda's stories more creative than the actual films and asks for more, which they happily oblige. | |||||||

He also sets up a fundraising web campaign for people to donate to, but before the screening begins, the drive-in's owner Evelyn tells him that she wants to sell because business has dwindled and she would like to do more things in her old age. She reassures Bob that the memories he has of this place won't go away, which Bob accepts. Meanwhile, Gene and Louise dip into Tina's candy stash and worry about being caught, but Tina reveals that she knew all along and just enjoyed watching them squirm.

The video is used on the website despite their stunt.

It becomes clear that the murder mystery is lifted from Gene's exclusion by the other boys, but Gene plays along at Louise's insistence. The murderer is revealed to be the "Gene" doll's younger sister, and Louise finally admits that she overheard the circumstances that lead Gene to be excluded: The boys made fun of Ms. Bisselbender's camel toe, but Gene immediately defended her, causing the boys to secretly opt not to invite him to their party. Louise overheard their plan, but failed to come to Gene's defense, and has since wrestled with both her admiration of Gene's openness at speaking up, and her disappointment in her own silence and inaction. The family reassures Louise that she can talk to any of them when she needs to process difficult feelings like these. | |||||||
