10“That’s my purse! I don’t know you!”

This is hands-down Bobby’s most famous line, coming from the episode “Bobby Goes Nuts” where he ends up in a women’s self-defense class. After learning this particular move, Bobby starts using it on school bullies—and eventually his own dad—by yelling this phrase before delivering a brutal kick to the groin. The line perfectly shows Bobby’s problem-solving style: weird but surprisingly effective. Fans still quote this one constantly, and it’s widely considered one of the show’s defining moments.

9“I’m a little worried about being a sl*t.”

When Bobby drops this gem during a sex ed-focused episode, you can’t help but laugh at his adorable cluelessness about adult topics. The pure innocence in his delivery highlights just how awkward it is trying to discuss grown-up stuff with his mom, Peggy. This quote has stuck around because it perfectly captures that cringe-worthy confusion we all felt during adolescence.

8“The only woman I’m pimping is sweet lady propane.”

In a hilariously misguided attempt to be like his dad, Bobby throws out this phrase, completely oblivious to what he’s actually saying. It shows how Bobby often picks up adult language and repurposes it without having a clue what it means, creating comedy gold in the process. It’s also a perfect snapshot of his desperate attempts to bond with Hank through his dad’s propane obsession.

7“My dad says butane is a bastard gas.”

Here’s another case of Bobby parroting his father’s propane propaganda, and it’s absolutely priceless. There’s something ridiculously funny about a kid so confidently trashing one type of gas because his dad told him to. It perfectly captures how Bobby soaks up Hank’s opinions like a sponge, even on the most random subjects.

6“Vat are you talking about?”

Bobby’s knack for random impressions pops up at the weirdest times, like with this over-the-top accent. His ability to slip into different characters shows his natural talent for performance and comedy—skills that constantly drive his traditionalist father crazy. This quote is just one example of Bobby’s entertainment instincts that bubble up throughout the series, often at the worst possible moments.

5“Okay, Dad. I’ll be your little candy man.”

Bobby’s talent for saying exactly the wrong thing shines in this awkwardly phrased agreement. It perfectly shows how he’s always trying to make his dad happy but somehow manages to do it in ways that make Hank want to crawl out of his skin. This dynamic—Bobby’s eagerness paired with his gift for maximum discomfort—gives us some of the show’s most squirm-inducing yet hilarious moments.

4“My Sloppy Joe is all sloppy, and no Joe.”

This clever little food review shows that Bobby’s actually pretty witty when he wants to be. Despite his generally simple nature, he occasionally drops these surprisingly sharp observations that hint at a smarter kid than most people give him credit for. Only Bobby could turn a complaint about school lunch into a quote fans would still be repeating decades later.

3“Well, I need a window seat because this flower is wilting.”

When Bobby channels his inner Southern gentleman during a plantation visit, he delivers this line with unexpected flair and drama. It showcases how quickly Bobby can adopt new personas and fully commit to them, no questions asked. His chameleon-like ability to transform himself is one of his most entertaining qualities, even if it leaves his straightlaced father completely baffled.

2“Why do you hate what you don’t understand?”

In a moment that’s surprisingly deep, Bobby hits his dad with this philosophical question about Hank’s hatred of soccer. It shows Bobby occasionally has wisdom beyond his years, challenging his father’s narrow worldview with a simple but profound question. The scene stays funny though, as Hank immediately fires back that he doesn’t hate what he doesn’t understand—he’s afraid of it.

1“Donuts were one of life’s little joys. If the government bans puppy breath and good yawns, I’ll have nothing left to live for!”

This overdramatic rant about losing his favorite junk foods is peak Bobby. The absurd leap from donuts to puppy breath and “good yawns” shows his wonderfully weird way of processing disappointment. The quote perfectly captures Bobby’s childlike appreciation for life’s simple pleasures that most people take for granted.
