I'm a huge fan of the popular animation sitcom, Bob's Burgers. The show is amusing, first, and most unexpectedly, sex-positive. (The sex-positive approaches reveal through the three kids characters as well as the parents' attitudes towards sexuality.) It is called "Naked Beach." In this episode, Bob has issues with his restaurant health inspectors and at the same time, a nude beach opens up in town. It starts out with Hugo, his usual nemesis health inspector, who gives bob's burgers a "C" rating after Bob neglects to reveal his "hand washing certification." The family asks Hugo and his partner who they are going to harass next when the following dialog ensues: Hugo: "Good Bob if you must understand perhaps you've heard our town is now home to a disgusting unclothed beach! There have been reports of vendors there serving food while n-n-naked." Tina: "That's how the vendors served food in the Bible." Hugo: "Don't bring faith into this!" The Bible remark is funny, but I know it does not look like we are off to a great beginning. https://s3.amazonaws.com/b-naturist/beach-fuck.html got the standard "ew, gross" comment about naked folks at a unclothed beach. But it gets better! Linda appears happy about the unclothed beach and inquires Bob when they'll get to go. Bob answers, "Bare beaches are filled with heavy, out of shape old bodies and I do not wanna go there and realize I appear just like that." A lot of times folks are uncomfortable or express disgust with naked bodies because they are ashamed of their own naked bodies. It reminds them of how they themselves do not measure up to society's beauty standards. Tina needs to go see the nude beach and offers to choose her mom Linda for a pleasure "mommy daughter nudity day." But https://s3.amazonaws.com/b-naturist/nude-beach-pictures.html says he is fairly sure kids aren't permitted there. Linda ends up going to the sand with her friend Gretchen. They come upon a sign that says the beach is for age 18 , and this is a odd assumption, as most bare beaches do not have an age constraint. It's also unfortunately augmenting the idea that naturism is an "adult" activity and never suitable for kids. (In reality many families and kids frequent bare beaches.) American television can't even free the nipple on cartoons. Sad. https://s3.amazonaws.com/b-naturist/beach-nymphs.html : Fox The sand scene is otherwise an accurate portrayal. There's a variety of people sunbathing, playing sports, socializing etc. But even though it is a cartoon, they avoid showing any genitals. I also found it a little astonishing how they reveal male nipples but not female nipples. All the backdrop characters presumed to be girls are covering their chests in some way or they're strategically blocked. We're talking about two flesh-coloured dots. Is the Fox network fearful to lose their patrons over two dots? Or is this the FCC shielding everyone from animation dots? It's quite laughable either manner. Meanwhile, Tina, Louise and Gene go to take a look at the plage from a distance. They hash-out an agenda to carve out an overlook on the cliff with a view of the naked beach and sell "nudity tours to teenage boys." Gene says, "It Is like the Internet but outside!" This really is a fine wink to the fact that children are not permitted at the strand, but nude folks and even pornography is so easily seen online. Gretchen points out the hot men in the drum circle at the bare beach. Image: Fox While the children are active with their master plan, Linda and Gretchen are hanging out at the beach. They see a drum circle and Linda is shocked to recognize one of the drummers - it's Nude Hugo! The health inspector discovered he loved the nude beach. Back at the restaurant, Linda tells Bob about Hugo, and the children casually show their strategies for earning money off the naked beach. Here the parents express their tacit acceptance of the children seeing nudity. While they abide by the sand's 18 rule, they have no difficulty with the kids looking from a distance. Bob simply wants them good luck. At school, the children work on enticing their classmates into seeing the naked folks at the nude beach. They also develop a brand new partner, Daryl, who has a telescope they are able to use. Another day they have a line of youngsters ready to pay $1 each to get a peak. Daryl sells it with a little mantra - "Look by means of this tube, see some boob. Gimme the green, see some peen." Louise sells her classmates on "nudity tours." Pic: Fox However once the other kids get a peek, they are disappointed in seeing "gross" old people. Louise takes charge of the situation and changes their perspective with a wonderful sales pitch: "You guys! You're looking at this the wrong way! You wanna see fine bodies, get a magazine. That is real, people! Check out that guy! What is that, is a liver spot? Is a birth mark? Who understands! You can't write this garbage!" Her pitch revives interest, and the youthful customers line up to see real life naked folks. The activity continues to be a bit voyeuristic, but now the kids are excited to see the nude bodies they do not get to see otherwise. Typical nudity in films and magazines is confined to one body type and one fake homogenized appearance. Here, ironically, the kids have to observe a unclothed beach from afar and through a lens to see real bodies. The Belcher children and their classmates see the unclothed beach through a telescope. Image: Fox Bob figures his only hope to fix everything is to get Hugo to return to his job. He ends up competing with Hugo in the "Nudecathalon" - their nude Olympics at the naked beach, with 27 actions that contained a two-legged race, long jump, tug-a-war and wrestling. Up on the cliff, the Belcher kids get a surprise in seeing their own dad nude on the plage. Louise is disturbed and drastically covers her eyes. Tina remarks "I believe father seems quite good considering he's had 3 kids." But they keep watching the Nudecathalon and shortly they're swept up in the excitement and cheer on Bob to win. Bob and Hugo wrestle in the closing Nudecathalon activity. Jpg: Fox
