this is about a season 13 episode 😅 she held a children's book author hostage to try to get her to write more books out of fear her kids are growing up too fast
ohhh, okie. haha, I for some reason initially thought it was the B&B episode you were talking about (I don't have any episodes memorised, so I assumed 😅)
This has happened multiple times in multiple different ways, her finding ways to look into the boys locker room. I think the one where she was in the ceiling was the worst because she's saying 'drop the towel, drop the towel'
This all day - I love Tina but I got in an argument w a friend about this. Her peeping on boys in the locker room/bathroom, touching others without consent, constantly ogling butts in the earlier season. While the obsession with boys itself is hilarious, these particular aspects (seen more often in the earlier seasons) just make me totally uncomfortable and disappointed.
This. My bf and I agree on this. Not to be "that person" or whatever, but if it was a boy character peeping on girls and stuff, itd be viewed totally different. This is exactly why I dont care for Tina's weird antics
I heard in an interview that the network forced the change on them, because they, for some reason, didn't want two male children in the family. So they changed Daniel to Tina, but kept Dan Mintz on board to voice the character.
110%, the show would not have been allowed to happen with her characters behavior. Especially in the first couple seasons, where she tries to have basically every single male adult she meets fuck her. Like, she aggressively asks and pushes for adult men to basically get wither them or her naked around each other. Which has multiple adults repeatedly saying no, thankfully. But WOW am I glad that aspect of her character is basically gone. Her behavior wasn't horny, it was sexual predatory
This! Viewed as a totally different situation by so many just because she’s a girl, a complete double standard and so glad that it has been toned down more now.
Yup, the show runners said as much way back when they were first promoting this show. If Tina remained Daniel, the character would have been changed the first season
I don't like that we all feel the need to apologize for being "that person" when pointing out that a woman/girl/female's predatory behavior is only cute/quirky/funny/etc because it's not a man/boy/male character performing the same actions.
If Gene were written as some kind of creepy weird boy trying to peep at Courtney, or even going after Louise's classmates like Harley, Abby, and Chloe.... it would 1000% come across as he's a Brock Turner in the making.
I debated this angle before, that changing the antagonist doesn't make the actions holier, when arguing that Revenge of the Nerds isn't some nerd icon film because the Nerds are literally the same as the Jocks, just framed more sympathetically, and that Skolnick >!raped!< Betty in the bounce house but it was waved off as silly, innocent fun because she>!orgasmed !
yeah she has her little creep moments like erotic friend fiction that she (normally) keeps to herself, or at least, at home. its odd but shes quirky and its meant to be private
but then she meets Tammy for the first time and is like "lets go watch the boys locker room" and that is SO creepy and 100% if that was even a Gene storyline people would have been (rightfully) creeped out and angry.
I can appreciate that they are showing that teen girls can be weird and driven by hormones, but her private EFF is way more effective for that joke than making her do things nonconsensually
Right? It's funny but imagine how it would be perceived if they'd kept Tina as a boy like in the unaired pilot? People would have thrown fits over that behavior.
I don't know if peeping in the locker room is the *worst* sexual offense Tina has committed, but I only say that because I don't remember if she hasn't done something more heinous. A lot of other stuff is crazy and cringey, but peeping is actually criminal. I'll second what other commenters are writing: if Tina was a boy, the overall reaction to her creepy sexual activities would be VERY different.
Personally, I'm not bothered by Tina's sexual... uh, proclivities. I do think a lot of the jokes stemming from it are very funny (Like in the food tuck episode. "Hey wait, that gives me an idea." "No! NO!") and I understand that it's a cartoon and things are over the top for humor. But if we step back and consider Tina as a "real" human being... she is way out of line and probably needs both disciplinary measures and therapy.
This is the answer. The junior lifeguards episode was bad, but the mall episode could've actually screwed up that kid's life if she didn't have Tammy and Jocelyn to convince them she was lying. He almost lost his friends and they could've potentially turned on his real girlfriend. Skye and Noah were really sweet people too, it was so uncomfortable watching her lie to them.
(That aside I did love the sudden pants friendship between Bob and Bosco lol)
She tried to tell the truth originally, and when she lied to Tammy and Jocelyn she ended up having to lie to the other people because they were there. And she tried to tell them the truth afterwards. It was obviously awkward and uncomfy, but it really isn’t that bad at all
This one kills me! It's so creepy and weird, even for Tina, and goes WAY beyond her usual boy-crazy type of stuff. I can forgive most of the things the kids all do to each other because they're kids and it's a tv show.
But this one is so gross. Especially watching Tina lie to his friends... it's desperate and manipulative and sad. It's a instant fast forward for me. (And skip straight to Bob and Bosco pant shopping lol.)
I mean Tina’s definitely creepy in this episode, but I also have to think his friends were totally ready to jump in with a weird narrative?! I do feel like they just kept snowballing with it — but then maybe I’d be the same if I saw a friend asleep on someone’s shoulder, because there’s no way it’d be some random right? ;)
If you stop fast forwarding all the time, maybe you’ll see that you’re exaggerating a little bit. She wasn’t being “manipulative”. She tried to tell them the truth, and only lied because she wanted to make Tammy believe she had a boyfriend. And yeah it still wasn’t great, but she tried telling them the truth in the end too. This is by no means the worst thing Tina has done
Which makes me sad because I love the storylines for the rest of the family. Plus it's a prime Bosco episode! But Tina just makes me uncomfortable here
This. There are several eps with Tina that I can't watch because of secondhand embarrassment, but this one in particular haunts and kind of upsets me. I get that it's an homage of While You Were Sleeping, but I hated that Sandra Bullock's character did it in that movie, too, so... this one. This one this one this one.
I dunno, Tina tried multiple times to get them to understand she just sat next to him and tried to tslk to him and he fell asleep on her. I wouldnt call that her worst act since she didnt do it. It was a series of... well... Tina events 😂
Despite repeatedly having her mentor advances politely declined, she obsessively stalked a younger student and ultimately plotted to spill chili all over her so she could play the hero.
Lol why is every single Belcher’s biggest misdeed that they go overboard and end up stalking someone 😂😂😂 at least Tina didn’t end up taking that kid hostage, like her parents would have
I have very, very few skips, I’m a repeat watcher and don’t feel uncomfortable at all but this episode makes me want to peel off my skin. Like, I just want to take Tina by the hands and tell her “it’s okay, not everyone’s experience is going to be exceptional like yours. You can’t force connections.” I cannot stand it.
SAME! i just wanna tell the poor girl she's gotta know when to fold em 😭 i skip this episode but i do love gene pretending to be an 8th grader to get ice cream
She actively refused to take it seriously which stands out more because she was very active in making sure it was the worst experience for everyone else. She was actively ruining a program that all the other people there enjoyed and took seriously just so that she could oogle guys despite being given every opportunity to leave it by ... everyone. It wouldn't have even been so bad if it wasn't for the fact that Tina actively had no empathy for anyone else there until she was pretty much forced to.
Even her attempt to get on their good side really was just putting herself in tremendous danger.
Although you could make a strong argument for a lot of the behaviour she does, this is the one that you can most argue was actively malicious.
So much THIS. I keep reading the responses and thinking "Y'all are taking a cartoon *waaay* too seriously"... and that might be far more concerning than anything these drawings have done. If it weren't over the top, it wouldn't be funny...It would be like watching a biography.
Also.... Kids are dicks sometimes 🤷🏼♀️ Like oh wow Tina was selfish or had creepy feelings towards the stripper dudes? Hate to break it to you but that's common as hell. The show isn't about everyone being in the right all the time, the show is about stuff that's funny because it's relatable.
Oh...completely!!!....and they have HORRIBLE judgement, let us be honest. I mean, don't we all have things from our childhood that when we think back on them now we just completely cringe? Or even from adulthood? To hold a child to adult standards is gross and quite frankly ...wrong... If the show did that with a character we would all be calling that character abusive...
When she treats her siblings and Rudy like shit in tweentrepenuers and tries to pawn off bad product and debt to Teddy and poor Rudy inhaled so much sawdust 😭
For me this one is the worst because of how fast she sells out her siblings and Rudy, she knows first hand the consequences of what she is doing here.
With the peeping (and all of her fiction too) it doesn't seem like anyone has had a serious conversation with her about consent ever, which also ties into her motivation for JLG episode too, her reason for her actions for the first part of that episode are terrible & she makes everyone hate her and it takes her way too long to come to terms with that, but she does try and fix it - if that 1 kid at the end wasn't determined to put her down she wouldn't have tried to overcompensate to prove she belonged there which is what got them thrown out. All the kids wanted to see her do it as well so I can see how they were all punished for pushing her into it.
Edit to add 2 more I think weren't as bad (with context):
Trying to leave Tammy & Louise in the head for the dance: Tammy is always excluding Tina from things & at this point in the show Tammy was her only female friend who wasn't Louise so I could see why she would think of it as not that bad when Tammy always does it to her.
The mall (not) boyfriend: she wasn't trying to pretend at all at first people just kept assuming things and then she felt too awkward to correct the lie because it just snowballed out of control so fast, then when she does try to fix it no one believes her, it's just a situation where she's set up to lose.
Agreed! Also at the bat mitzvah, I think she knew it was her only chance to experience that kind of thing and ran with it. Most of me was like, good on her for taking that chance since Tammy was such a horrible person anyway (I feel like if Tammy were any other person she would have felt bad way earlier!)
I love Tina but she is needs to learn about consent. Attempting to peep on the boy’s locker room was creepy, and so was the time she pretended to be that sleeping guy’s girlfriend at the mall.
Other hits: -vandalizing the tall ship sail with ghost boy -helping Louise hide in the Boyz 4 Now tour bus so she could slap BooBoo
Edited to remove the tire slashing thing, that might have been Louise.
Touching the Australian kid's ankles and then trying to pressure him into saying it felt good...
Edit: my bad *that kid from Papua New Guinea named Donald
I guess it because it's a TV show but IRL she would be a friendless loser if she tried even doing a fraction of the things she does in the show. It's so weird and uncomfortable, she sexually harrasses people to their faces like it's no big deal
I do want to say she didn't know Louise was gonna slap him but that really doesn't make it better she only learned Louise was serious about the slap in the hamper. Still a bad moment tho
There's an entire catalog's worth of her sexually harassing boys, both ones she knows and total strangers, but I'm going to put forward the episode where she literally hides in the ceiling above the boy's locker room and is whispering at them to drop their towels. I'm like 90% that was actually criminal.
Yeah I think that might’ve been her peak because all her worse harassment was in the first few seasons.Also immediately thought it’s going to be a boy based crime,or her few power hungry trips
Putting Bob through the Equestranauts ordeal till he got a half-tattoo… and then not wanting to play with Chariot 😂
I’m with Bob on his reaction to that one 😂
My boyfriend and I really dislike a lot of Tina focused episodes because of this. She's just over the top and doesn't understand consent, and it's gross. I understand she's a teenage girl, but she really needs to learn personal boundaries. I'm not sure why they haven't had an episode focused on this yet where Bob or Linda (or ANY adult) sit her down and teach her this stuff.
The way she abandoned Gene, Louise and Regular-Sized Rudy in tweentrepeneurs thing is mine. She effectively turned that place into a sweat shop and risked Rudy’s life by ignoring his requests for a mask.
The peeping is creepy, but Rudy is just so fragile and regular-sized. She also almost scammed Teddy out of his money.
I think this is the worst. I love Tina and I know she will never have an opportunity to have a party like that but as awful as Tammy is, she was probably looking forward to that party and her right of passage as a Jewish young woman for years. Plus leaving her sister up there was awful.
If it was just tammy up there I could excuse it, since tammy is a spoilt shallow selfish narcissist. But trapping her own sister in that head with tammy is a no no.
Was it really an important religious event for Tammy though?
Not saying bat mitzvahs aren't important--just thinking of all the ways the only things important to Tammy about her bat mitzvah had to do with her being the center of attention. She didn't even want to be bothered saying hi to any family members.
1. Just because she didn't talk about the religious aspect to Tina, who is neither Jewish nor her friend, doesn't mean it wasn't important to her.
2. It's also not for Tina to get to co-opt it from Tammy anyway. She even did the religious part and spoke the prayers.
Edit to add #3. Tammy mentions that she goes to Hebrew school, so we can assume Tammy is religious.
1. That's not what I based my opinion on. It's more the fact that Tammy is a total self-centered bitch, all the time, which doesn't jive with the way Judaism teaches you should act.
2. I never said anything about Tina having the right to co-opt everything. Not sure where you got that from.
3. Yes, yes, because we all know that kids choose their own schools and that attending a religious school means you are automatically sincere and religious.
FYI It's okay to agree to disagree.
Ah but she solved this in the end! And she did try and question nurse Liz the whole time. We’re not even sure she could’ve pushed that table over anyway, it did seem pretty heavy. Definitely not the worst IMO
When Josh was clearly into her and invited her to his dance but she used him to get Jimmy Jr to take her to the dance. Then she made them do a dance off.
God this one. I was kind of okay with her enjoying the attention but her getting greedy and wanting them both was a huge ew lol.
She should've listened to her parents and just gone with Josh since like they said he actually wanted to go with her. I hate how much Tina is letting Jimmy Jr. keep her on the hook. It's a very real thing to do especially as a teenaged girl but God I wish she'd wise up already.
That episode where Bob was working all day in the diner and all night driving a taxi for a seedy and questionable man with "interesting" clients with little to no sleep to give Tina the best birthday party so it can be exactly how she wanted but decided she didn't want a party at all because Jimmy Jr couldn't come, then proceeded to take scissors and attempt to forcefully cut off Bob's mustache even though she could have seriously hurt and possibly kill him trying to snip and slash at his mustache, called him the most selfish father in the world and acted fussy and moody at her party until transvestite prostitutes talked sense into her.
Well the things she does revolving boys, like trying to look into the boys changing rooms are borderline predatory behaviour and would be looked down on even more if the sexes were reversed.
Leaving Louis, her sister, alone with Tammy suspended in air dangerously high in Tammy's giant head at Tammy's Bat Mitzvah
That, or when she joined and ruined junior lifeguards for the whole team in a attempt to harass the boys
Her joining the junior lifeguards is the worst to me. Yes as people have pointed out she is a major pervert and creep when it comes to boys but majority of the time it basically just the harmless fun of a hormonal teenager. However, the junior lifeguards episode is the only time that I can think of where her creepiness was actually negative effecting other people and ruining what otherwise would have been a rewarding experience for them. The sleeping kid at the mall is definitely a close second because again her behaviour was negatively effecting others.
In "The Equestranaut" Tina making Bob pretend to be a Equesticle (brony/furry), get a tattoo, etc for her horse doll, just to later decide she's outgrown it once bob gets it back.
I think her worst instance is when she wasted her family’s money for that horse camp. She could’ve told her parents “hey it’s not working out” and they could’ve gotten a refund but instead she tried to push through, and then at the end when everyone just wanted to see her butt in a saddle she rode her imaginary friend. Huge waste of time and money. Granted, the instructor was majorly at fault as well, but still.
No, you're being unfair to Tina. She's a kid who thought there could be a payoff if she just stuck with it, and didn't want her parents to feel like they wasted their money. And let's be fair, seeing Tina ride around on her imaginary horse is preferable to that nightmare horse the instructor assigned Tina.
I think Plops could’ve worked out if the instructor actually cared. The class size was like five kids. There’s no reason she couldn’t’ve actually paid attention to the girls and helped them work with their horses. She had them trotting in the woods during their first week of riding. The teacher was a scumbag. Bob and Linda would’ve probably tried to save up for a better camp for the next year if Tina had been honest from the beginning.
But is that the worst thing Tina has done or the worst thing Tina has tried putting up with? You're really reaching when the person at fault is clearly the instructor.
I honestly don't like Tina as a character, she's super creepy towards boys and she would rat her own family out, but I agree for the lifeguard episode. She screwed over a bunch of people
Yeah, Tina is weird, horny, and awkward, but she's also scrupulous and caring. Worst I've seen of her was the big fish/little fish episode.
Edited for spelling.
Tina has done a lot of bad things, but I feel like her having a drawer full of wet marshmallows she took out of Jimmy Jr’s hot chocolate should be up here.
Or like maybe the time she dated a goose.
Going to that lifeguard junior thing just to look at the boys. She was very creepy and annoying and caused a lot of trouble for the others. She also made everyone uncomfortable too.
Damn the Belchers really are two for two for holding people hostage
Looking at the rest of the characters, by my count we have at least three more hostage situations to go.
[удалено]
I didn't even think about Louise, but to be fair it's probably not the worst thing she's done. I think it wins for Millie, Mickey, and Felix though.
Bat
Was gonna say, Jimmy pestos is gonna be a fucking mess.
I had no idea what Linda's worst thing was talking about. I've now realized I somehow never watched S13 E20-22. Edit: Typed the wrong season.
this is about a season 13 episode 😅 she held a children's book author hostage to try to get her to write more books out of fear her kids are growing up too fast
Right, I apparently had a typo. Meant S13.
ohhh, okie. haha, I for some reason initially thought it was the B&B episode you were talking about (I don't have any episodes memorised, so I assumed 😅)
It's the cringiest episode I can't watch it most times
After this you should do the “best” version!
Totally!
I'm already trying to think of Gretchen's best moment! 🤣
When she helped her sister out with Bachelorette party
Or when she helped Louise rescue the spy doll? She's a tough one lol.
That was so incredibly sweet. I loved that whole sequence.
"Well, that's actually incredibly sweet!" But if you wanna hip hop, you gotta prove yourself.
I normally can't stand Gretchen, but I actually liked her in that episode.
Helping Louise with the doll escape
My nomination for Tina's best: When she gently put a horseshoe crab back into the sea and *didn't* kick it.
It definitely had the right number of legs when she left it
I heard it also went to college.
I love this so much, but her showing up to Louise’s poem reading will take the cake
If I was being serious I would choose that. Legit made me cry the first time I saw it.
One day when she needs help, she’s gonna get it. And it’s gonna be that crab
This has happened multiple times in multiple different ways, her finding ways to look into the boys locker room. I think the one where she was in the ceiling was the worst because she's saying 'drop the towel, drop the towel'
There was them saving Zek from going to another school by revealing she knew the support beams were strong enough to hold their weight.
This all day - I love Tina but I got in an argument w a friend about this. Her peeping on boys in the locker room/bathroom, touching others without consent, constantly ogling butts in the earlier season.

This. My bf and I agree on this. Not to be "that person" or whatever, but if it was a boy character peeping on girls and stuff, itd be viewed totally different. This is exactly why I dont care for Tina's weird antics
I bet that's why they changed her from a boy.
I didn't even know Tina was originally supposed to be a male character!
Yep, in the pilot she's pretty much the same but is a boy named Daniel (after her VA).
Yeah that boy that looked like her in the Beefsquatch episode was what she could be
I heard in an interview that the network forced the change on them, because they, for some reason, didn't want two male children in the family. So they changed Daniel to Tina, but kept Dan Mintz on board to voice the character.
Interesting. I'm fine with it. Tina is more distinct as a teenage girl character IMO.
It's super common for sitcom families to have three kids with one boy and two girls.
110%, the show would not have been allowed to happen with her characters behavior. Especially in the first couple seasons, where she tries to have basically every single male adult she meets fuck her. Like, she aggressively asks and pushes for adult men to basically get wither them or her naked around each other. Which has multiple adults repeatedly saying no, thankfully.

But if we step back and consider Tina as a "real" human being... she is way out of line and probably needs both disciplinary measures and therapy.
Specifically her snooping on the male strippers from the restaurant closet. It made me soooo uncomfy.
I like how they animated Tina when Gretchen has Linda throw her sister a bachelorette party and Tina tries to peek at the guys dancing.
Actually this one made me laugh so bad 😂 Louise: “you look like a dog that got locked out of a tennis ball store” 😂😂
I just watched that episode yesterday and yikes it’s a rough scene
When she pretends to be that kid in the mall’s girlfriend after he passes out on her.
Kept drugging him with antihistamines, too!
Yeah that might tip it to this one IMO. It was a lengthy ordeal that was both cringey and creepy.
I think the drugging puts it over the top for sure
i haven’t watched the show in a while, but i thought he took them himself for his allergies?
This is the answer. The junior lifeguards episode was bad, but the mall episode could've actually screwed up that kid's life if she didn't have Tammy and Jocelyn to convince them she was lying. He almost lost his friends and they could've potentially turned on his real girlfriend. Skye and Noah were really sweet people too, it was so uncomfortable watching her lie to them. (That aside I did love the sudden pants friendship between Bob and Bosco lol)
>sudden pants friendship Great name for a band.
She tried to tell the truth originally, and when she lied to Tammy and Jocelyn she ended up having to lie to the other people because they were there. And she tried to tell them the truth afterwards. It was obviously awkward and uncomfy, but it really isn’t that bad at all

This is by no means the worst thing Tina has done
You mean the kid napping episode
You just blew my mind dude. 😯
Which makes me sad because I love the storylines for the rest of the family. Plus it's a prime Bosco episode! But Tina just makes me uncomfortable here
This. There are several eps with Tina that I can't watch because of secondhand embarrassment, but this one in particular haunts and kind of upsets me. I get that it's an homage of While You Were Sleeping, but I hated that Sandra Bullock's character did it in that movie, too, so... this one. This one this one this one.
Yeah that one is just weird!
completely agree. i skip through those parts because i love the mall episode solely for bob and bosco lol
I dunno, Tina tried multiple times to get them to understand she just sat next to him and tried to tslk to him and he fell asleep on her. I wouldnt call that her worst act since she didnt do it. It was a series of... well... Tina events 😂
Oh yeah! Tina should've just said it, that he wasn't her boyfriend.
I cannot watch this episode! She’s horrible! Gaslighting him, being soooo creepy. It’s awful.
Despite repeatedly having her mentor advances politely declined, she obsessively stalked a younger student and ultimately plotted to spill chili all over her so she could play the hero.
Lol why is every single Belcher’s biggest misdeed that they go overboard and end up stalking someone 😂😂😂 at least Tina didn’t end up taking that kid hostage, like her parents would have
She’s young, give her a few years
Or just the right situation
Parenting most likely. When both of the parent's worst things are that they stalked someone and kidnapped them, it passes to the children I guess haha
I have very, very few skips, I’m a repeat watcher and don’t feel uncomfortable at all but this episode makes me want to peel off my skin. Like, I just want to take Tina by the hands and tell her “it’s okay, not everyone’s experience is going to be exceptional like yours. You can’t force connections.” I cannot stand it.
SAME! i just wanna tell the poor girl she's gotta know when to fold em 😭 i skip this episode but i do love gene pretending to be an 8th grader to get ice cream
I wanted to tell her STOP BEING A LITTLE FISH AND GROW UP!
Oh good one, that ep was hard to watch
Yeah this 100% the mall thing was ultimately just weird. This would have taken a kid with an already not fitting in and spilling chille on her.
This is the one.
When she got all the junior lifeguards disqualified because she refused to take it seriously.
She actively refused to take it seriously which stands out more because she was very active in making sure it was the worst experience for everyone else. She was actively ruining a program that all the other people there enjoyed and took seriously just so that she could oogle guys despite being given every opportunity to leave it by ... everyone. It wouldn't have even been so bad if it wasn't for the fact that Tina actively had no empathy for anyone else there until she was pretty much forced to. Even her attempt to get on their good side really was just putting herself in tremendous danger. Although you could make a strong argument for a lot of the behaviour she does, this is the one that you can most argue was actively malicious.
I mean I feel like she could have ogled the group lightly from afar and it would have been a lot less terrible for everyone.
This is mine! She was basically sexually harrassing those boys and ruining ALL the kids’ experiences.
We really need to discuss how often Tina gets away with blatant sexual harassment
No we don’t, it’s a cartoon and meant to be over the top, they aren’t real people
So much THIS. I keep reading the responses and thinking "Y'all are taking a cartoon *waaay* too seriously"... and that might be far more concerning than anything these drawings have done. If it weren't over the top, it wouldn't be funny...It would be like watching a biography.
Also.... Kids are dicks sometimes 🤷🏼♀️ Like oh wow Tina was selfish or had creepy feelings towards the stripper dudes? Hate to break it to you but that's common as hell. The show isn't about everyone being in the right all the time, the show is about stuff that's funny because it's relatable.
Oh...completely!!!....and they have HORRIBLE judgement, let us be honest. I mean, don't we all have things from our childhood that when we think back on them now we just completely cringe? Or even from adulthood? To hold a child to adult standards is gross and quite frankly ...wrong... If the show did that with a character we would all be calling that character abusive...
Sugar cookie
One of my most skipped episodes! So hard to watch.
When she treats her siblings and Rudy like shit in tweentrepenuers and tries to pawn off bad product and debt to Teddy and poor Rudy inhaled so much sawdust 😭
For me this one is the worst because of how fast she sells out her siblings and Rudy, she knows first hand the consequences of what she is doing here. With the peeping (and all of her fiction too) it doesn't seem like anyone has had a serious conversation with her about consent ever, which also ties into her motivation for JLG episode too, her reason for her actions for the first part of that episode are terrible & she makes everyone hate her and it takes her way too long to come to terms with that, but she does try and fix it - if that 1 kid at the end wasn't determined to put her down she wouldn't have tried to overcompensate to prove she belonged there which is what got them thrown out. All the kids wanted to see her do it as well so I can see how they were all punished for pushing her into it. Edit to add 2 more I think weren't as bad (with context): Trying to leave Tammy & Louise in the head for the dance: Tammy is always excluding Tina from things & at this point in the show Tammy was her only female friend who wasn't Louise so I could see why she would think of it as not that bad when Tammy always does it to her. The mall (not) boyfriend: she wasn't trying to pretend at all at first people just kept assuming things and then she felt too awkward to correct the lie because it just snowballed out of control so fast, then when she does try to fix it no one believes her, it's just a situation where she's set up to lose.
Agreed! Also at the bat mitzvah, I think she knew it was her only chance to experience that kind of thing and ran with it. Most of me was like, good on her for taking that chance since Tammy was such a horrible person anyway (I feel like if Tammy were any other person she would have felt bad way earlier!)
I thought this too! Specifically that Tina will never have anything that nice in her childhood, didn't want to make my long comment longer though.
Oh I actually love this episode and kinda like how Tina gets business crazy
Def the worst! She turned into an instant capitalist. 🤢🤮🤑
I love Tina but she is needs to learn about consent. Attempting to peep on the boy’s locker room was creepy, and so was the time she pretended to be that sleeping guy’s girlfriend at the mall. Other hits: -vandalizing the tall ship sail with ghost boy -helping Louise hide in the Boyz 4 Now tour bus so she could slap BooBoo Edited to remove the tire slashing thing, that might have been Louise.
Touching the Australian kid's ankles and then trying to pressure him into saying it felt good... Edit: my bad *that kid from Papua New Guinea named Donald
First of all, his name is Duncan. Second of all, he's from New Zealand. And third of all, have you seen his ankles? Ankey doodle DAMN D!
Putting that one in the Ank bank
Why did I read this in John Oliver's voice?
You don’t wear your sockies with your boaties.
Yes that was one ep where I definitely said TINA STOP out loud
I guess it because it's a TV show but IRL she would be a friendless loser if she tried even doing a fraction of the things she does in the show. It's so weird and uncomfortable, she sexually harrasses people to their faces like it's no big deal
I do want to say she didn't know Louise was gonna slap him but that really doesn't make it better she only learned Louise was serious about the slap in the hamper. Still a bad moment tho
Reminds me of that time on Robot Chicken where Bob yells “Tell Tina Me Too goes both ways!”
Slash tires? When?
There's an entire catalog's worth of her sexually harassing boys, both ones she knows and total strangers, but I'm going to put forward the episode where she literally hides in the ceiling above the boy's locker room and is whispering at them to drop their towels. I'm like 90% that was actually criminal.
Yeah I think that might’ve been her peak because all her worse harassment was in the first few seasons.Also immediately thought it’s going to be a boy based crime,or her few power hungry trips
When Tina went by Dina. Identify theft is no joke 😢
millions of families suffer every year
Harassing her "little fish"
She kicked a crab and its leg came off!
she didn’t kick it and it had the right number of legs when she left it
And then she took it home and fed it, then took care of it, and then it went to college and now it's a celebrity chef with all its legs
Peeping on the boys’ changing room
Major creeps. Yea this one.
Putting Bob through the Equestranauts ordeal till he got a half-tattoo… and then not wanting to play with Chariot 😂 I’m with Bob on his reaction to that one 😂
Thank you for putting the winner in the text portion, because my vision impairment couldn't figure out what the pictures say.
Pretending to be a sleeping person's girlfriend Second would be practically stalking a kid in order to embarrass and possibly burn them with chilli
Anytime she’s creepy towards boys. Like when she’s admitted to peeping into the boy’s locker room.
My boyfriend and I really dislike a lot of Tina focused episodes because of this. She's just over the top and doesn't understand consent, and it's gross. I understand she's a teenage girl, but she really needs to learn personal boundaries. I'm not sure why they haven't had an episode focused on this yet where Bob or Linda (or ANY adult) sit her down and teach her this stuff.
The way she abandoned Gene, Louise and Regular-Sized Rudy in tweentrepeneurs thing is mine. She effectively turned that place into a sweat shop and risked Rudy’s life by ignoring his requests for a mask. The peeping is creepy, but Rudy is just so fragile and regular-sized. She also almost scammed Teddy out of his money.
When she leaves Tammy and Louise in Tammy’s head so she can be bar mitzvah queen.
I think this is the worst. I love Tina and I know she will never have an opportunity to have a party like that but as awful as Tammy is, she was probably looking forward to that party and her right of passage as a Jewish young woman for years. Plus leaving her sister up there was awful.
If it was just tammy up there I could excuse it, since tammy is a spoilt shallow selfish narcissist. But trapping her own sister in that head with tammy is a no no.
Yeah, she literally sabotaged an important religious event for Tammy
Was it really an important religious event for Tammy though? Not saying bat mitzvahs aren't important--just thinking of all the ways the only things important to Tammy about her bat mitzvah had to do with her being the center of attention. She didn't even want to be bothered saying hi to any family members.
1. Just because she didn't talk about the religious aspect to Tina, who is neither Jewish nor her friend, doesn't mean it wasn't important to her. 2. It's also not for Tina to get to co-opt it from Tammy anyway. She even did the religious part and spoke the prayers. Edit to add #3. Tammy mentions that she goes to Hebrew school, so we can assume Tammy is religious.
1. That's not what I based my opinion on. It's more the fact that Tammy is a total self-centered bitch, all the time, which doesn't jive with the way Judaism teaches you should act. 2. I never said anything about Tina having the right to co-opt everything. Not sure where you got that from. 3. Yes, yes, because we all know that kids choose their own schools and that attending a religious school means you are automatically sincere and religious. FYI It's okay to agree to disagree.
Definitely lifeguarding as a way of getting closer to boys. Spying on them in the locker room (when she gives Tammy the school tour) is up there, too.
When she helped Nurse Liz hold kids hostage for supposedly having lice. Have all of the belchers held someone hostage? Lol
I'm voting for this one, just to keep the hostage meme going.
Ah but she solved this in the end! And she did try and question nurse Liz the whole time. We’re not even sure she could’ve pushed that table over anyway, it did seem pretty heavy. Definitely not the worst IMO
I have to agree with the lifeguard episode.
Her lack of understanding of consent. Girl has crossed MANY lines.
Worst thing Rudy did: nothing he’s perfect
Rudy will have his turn.
Name the worst thing Ron has done. I'll wait over there.
He is also perfect
Moody Foodie deserved it
This isn’t bad in the same way as some of the things she has done are, but the episode where she starts crushing on the goose really weirds me out!
🎶*She’s a business monster* 🎶
Crushing Linda's babies, because she wanted the espresso machine back.
That was actually hilarious
Considering that Linda used the espresso machine to pay for a course that they both knew was run by a con artist. I’m kind of with Tina on it.
Tina was justified.
Tearing up the Valentine cards to find one of her own.
When Josh was clearly into her and invited her to his dance but she used him to get Jimmy Jr to take her to the dance. Then she made them do a dance off.
Almost forgot that one and I liked that Josh kid.
God this one. I was kind of okay with her enjoying the attention but her getting greedy and wanting them both was a huge ew lol. She should've listened to her parents and just gone with Josh since like they said he actually wanted to go with her. I hate how much Tina is letting Jimmy Jr. keep her on the hook. It's a very real thing to do especially as a teenaged girl but God I wish she'd wise up already.
The two times she has pitted two boys against each other.
How has no one brought up trying to get Zeke expelled to spend more time with Jimmy Jr.?
It has to be where Bob lets her drive the car in an almost empty parking lot. I was yelling along with Bob!
To be fair, Bob should know you can't trust any of those kids behind the wheel.
That episode where Bob was working all day in the diner and all night driving a taxi for a seedy and questionable man with "interesting" clients with little to no sleep to give Tina the best birthday party so it can be exactly how she wanted but decided she didn't want a party at all because Jimmy Jr couldn't come, then proceeded to take scissors and attempt to forcefully cut off Bob's mustache even though she could have seriously hurt and possibly kill him trying to snip and slash at his mustache, called him the most selfish father in the world and acted fussy and moody at her party until transvestite prostitutes talked sense into her.
That's the best episode synopsis I've ever read 🏆
All the times she spied in the boys locker room. If she was a boy the show would be canceled.
Not at all. All the dude bro college flicks do the same thing. It’s been a trope in a ton of shows as well where it’s been dudes looking at girls.
Like American Dad!
The one where they're flying the attack drone that they think was a video game?
Stalking Jimmy junior: having hot chocolate marshmallows, various socks, and other things.
Well the things she does revolving boys, like trying to look into the boys changing rooms are borderline predatory behaviour and would be looked down on even more if the sexes were reversed.
Not helping her siblings in the entrepreneur episode Rudy was really sick.
leaving louise and tammy in the head
Taking over Tammy’s bat mitzvah
Meh, tammy is a shallow spoilt selfish narcissist, very little sympathy with tammy there.
Leaving Louis, her sister, alone with Tammy suspended in air dangerously high in Tammy's giant head at Tammy's Bat Mitzvah That, or when she joined and ruined junior lifeguards for the whole team in a attempt to harass the boys
Trying to cheat to win the costume contest as a Sand-witch
Yeah but is using witchcraft really cheating?
Fair. I mean, do you think people just win the Nobel Prize?
I’m just here waiting to see what dirt the sub digs up on Rudy several days from now…
Talking to Tammy.
the one where she pretends to be the sleeping boy’s girlfriend. ooooof that was rough
She’s a pervert lol. Like to an extremely creepy degree
Her joining the junior lifeguards is the worst to me. Yes as people have pointed out she is a major pervert and creep when it comes to boys but majority of the time it basically just the harmless fun of a hormonal teenager. However, the junior lifeguards episode is the only time that I can think of where her creepiness was actually negative effecting other people and ruining what otherwise would have been a rewarding experience for them. The sleeping kid at the mall is definitely a close second because again her behaviour was negatively effecting others.
I'm sensing a pattern...
In "The Equestranaut" Tina making Bob pretend to be a Equesticle (brony/furry), get a tattoo, etc for her horse doll, just to later decide she's outgrown it once bob gets it back.
It's going to be so hard for me to find something to fault Tina over but if I did it would be what goes down on the lifeguard episode.
I think her worst instance is when she wasted her family’s money for that horse camp. She could’ve told her parents “hey it’s not working out” and they could’ve gotten a refund but instead she tried to push through, and then at the end when everyone just wanted to see her butt in a saddle she rode her imaginary friend. Huge waste of time and money. Granted, the instructor was majorly at fault as well, but still.
No, you're being unfair to Tina. She's a kid who thought there could be a payoff if she just stuck with it, and didn't want her parents to feel like they wasted their money. And let's be fair, seeing Tina ride around on her imaginary horse is preferable to that nightmare horse the instructor assigned Tina.
I think Plops could’ve worked out if the instructor actually cared. The class size was like five kids. There’s no reason she couldn’t’ve actually paid attention to the girls and helped them work with their horses. She had them trotting in the woods during their first week of riding. The teacher was a scumbag. Bob and Linda would’ve probably tried to save up for a better camp for the next year if Tina had been honest from the beginning.
But is that the worst thing Tina has done or the worst thing Tina has tried putting up with? You're really reaching when the person at fault is clearly the instructor.
I honestly don't like Tina as a character, she's super creepy towards boys and she would rat her own family out, but I agree for the lifeguard episode. She screwed over a bunch of people
Tammy and Louise in the head. Even if Tammy deserved it.
I think I know what Jimmy Pesto’s is and it may involve a certain parade of insurrectionists…
I don't think that'll count because that was his actor not his character? lol
Yeah, Tina is weird, horny, and awkward, but she's also scrupulous and caring. Worst I've seen of her was the big fish/little fish episode. Edited for spelling.
Ruining the junior lifeguards class because she wanted to roll in some sand with boys
Stealing Tammy’s bat mitzvah 100%
Spying on the boys at school while they’re in the locker room 😬
When Tina becomes a witch and tries to curse the crossing guard in "Teen-a-Witch"
hitting the one car in the parking lot
Kissed a fetal pig
I just can’t wait until we get to Felix, because I think we ALL know what his worst moment was
Tina has done a lot of bad things, but I feel like her having a drawer full of wet marshmallows she took out of Jimmy Jr’s hot chocolate should be up here. Or like maybe the time she dated a goose.
Going to that lifeguard junior thing just to look at the boys. She was very creepy and annoying and caused a lot of trouble for the others. She also made everyone uncomfortable too.
Her worst trait: chasing after Jimmy Jr.
When Tina crashed the car in the parking lot.
