"Bob Fires the Kids" is the third 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) firing his children Tina (Dan Mintz), Gene (Eugene Mirman), and Louise (Kristen Schaal) from the family restaurant for the summer, not wanting to deprive them of normal childhood experiences as his own father did. However, when the children grow bored of summer activities, they seek employment at a local farm, which unbeknownst to them grows marijuana.
The episode also sees the return of the bank robber Mickey, voiced by guest actor Bill Hader, who is hired by Bob at the restaurant in his children's absence. Other guest voice actors include Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman of the American comedy television series Parks and Recreation as the hippie farming couple Beverly and Cooper, Doug Benson as an undercover DEA agent, and Kevin Kline as recurring series character Calvin Fischoeder.
After its original scheduled air date was preempted by Fox for a National League Championship Series broadcast, the episode aired on the network on November 4, 2012. It was watched by 3.92 million viewers and received positive reviews from critics, who praised its combination of subplots involving the Belcher parents and children and the incorporation of the character Mickey; positive comparisons to The Simpsons were also drawn.
