"An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal" is the fifth episode of the third season of the American animated comedy series Bob's Burgers. Written by Lizzie and Wendy Molyneux, the episode sees Bob Belcher (H. Jon Benjamin) reluctantly agree to rent out his wife Linda (John Roberts) and their children Tina (Dan Mintz), Gene (Eugene Mirman), and Louise (Kristen Schaal) to the family's landlord Calvin Fischoeder (guest voiced by Kevin Kline), who wants them to pose as his own family to impress a former flame named Shelby (Lindsey Stoddart) at Thanksgiving dinner. As Thanksgiving goes by, Bob, who has also been hired to pose as Fischoeder's cook, begins to feel increasingly ignored by his family and ends up talking to the dinner turkey as his only companion.
"An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal" originally aired on November 18, 2012, on Fox, drawing an audience of 3.94 million viewers. Rowan Kaiser of The A.V. Club, in a complimentary review of the episode, described influences of American animated sitcom The Simpsons' holiday specials. The episode features "The Thanksgiving Song," an impromptu musical number sung by Linda, which was later covered by American indie rock band The National and cited by the Bob's Burgers writing staff as one of their favorite songs from the series.
