Bob is back at it, striving for that perfect turkey this Thanksgiving. This year, he’s trying out a meticulous three-day brine. But as the holiday approaches, a bizarre problem arises: the family wakes up to find their cherished turkey bobbing in the toilet. Bob gets a replacement, and surprise, surprise—it happens again the next day. What on earth is going on?
Although the mystery of the “toilet turkey” certainly captures your attention, with a comical and heartwarming twist as its payoff, the episode truly shines because it nails the chaos that is Thanksgiving week. You have family, like Gayle in this instance, showing up and causing a ruckus, kids trying to score a seat at the grown-up’s table, and the pressure of perfectly roasting a big turkey.
And let’s not forget one of the series’ most hilarious moments—Bob’s repeated trips to the deli counter for yet another turkey lead one employee to think Bob is hitting on him. This episode isn’t just a fantastic Thanksgiving entry; it might just be one of the standout episodes of the entire series. So, as you gear up for your own Thanksgiving, why not give this one another watch and savor the laughter it brings?
