There's no denying that "Bob's Burgers" is one of the best animated comedies on television right now. Between the endearing, relatable characters and smart humor, the show proves why it is the highlight of Fox's animated slate.
While people argue over the best character on the show, it's clear that eldest Belcher child, Tina, is the most relatable. Tina's angst is a perfect representation of everyone's awkward phase, and while it certainly wasn't easy to choose, here are the ten best Tina Belcher moments.
10. Tina's Halloween Costume

9. Tina Threatens Jimmy Pesto, Jr.
Despite her crush on him, Tina whispers one of the greatest threats in the history of threats to Jimmy Pesto, Jr. There really isn't anything more to say about the next GIF other than that,

8. Tina and the Carousel
In another particularly relatable moment, Tina shows that no matter how old you may be, there's a little child in all of us. After her younger sister Louise suggests the siblings ride the craziest roller coaster at the park, Tina agrees — with the condition that afterwards, they ride the carousel. Audiences are treated to a classic Tina line and moment.

7. Tina's Continuous Obsession with Butts
It's hard to put this one the list because there could be an entirely separate list dedicated to just the moments when Tina is mildly creepy with butts. This running joke on the show serves as just another reminder of how awkward we all were when we first became interested in dating.

6. Island of Kissing
Continuing with her boy-craziness, Tina has a fantasy of an entire island dedicated to kissing. The result? Yet another classic Tina Belcher moment.

5. If She Ever Met a Mermaid She Would Ask Her...
As a teenager, Tina's naturally curious about the world around her, always asking questions about it. While these questions range from serious to silly, this one sums up her unique view.

4. Tina's Crush on Jimmy Pesto, Jr.
One of Tina's running story lines is her crush on Josh, only recognizable by the turtle bite on his — wait for it — index finger. While there are tons of moments that sum up their relationship, Tina giving Josh her number is near the top of the list.

3. Tina's Thrashing Corner
Early on, the show introduces Tina's unusual sleeping habits. To me, it continues to be one of the funniest moments in the show's run.

2. Tina's Erotic Friendfiction
Another running joke is Tina's authorship of erotic friend fiction, which is exactly as bizarre and hilarious as it sounds. While it may be absurd, it's yet another moment in which Tina is unafraid to be herself in all of her quirkiness, showing that it's OK to just be yourself.

1. Tina's Fed Up With Stereotypes
Tina shows in this moment how she's the best female on TV, putting it at the top of this list. After announcing how fed up she is with stereotypes, Tina makes one of her signature statements in a moment that shows why she's not only the most relatable teenager on TV, but perhaps in the history of television.
