Andy and Ollie based off of Walter and Perry? - A Bob's Burgers Video Essay

Hello, fellow animation lovers! Today, I wanted to go off of a viewer suggestion to talk about how Andy and Ollie of Bob’s Burgers are inspired by the earlier creation of Walter & Perry from the animated series Home Movies.

Common threads between the two series, the creators, the voice actors, and character traits, are laid out here. Also worth mentioning, the first episode air date of Home Movies was April 26, 1999 - therefore, this video also serves as a belated 25 year anniversary of the quirky kid duo connection being celebrated!

I tried to also speak as clearly and slowly as possible so that the closed captioning is accurate for viewers with accessibility needs. Thanks for watching and engaging with my content!
