"Mutiny on the Windbreaker" is the fourth episode of the third season of the animated comedy series Bob's Burgers and the overall 26th episode, and is written by Kit Boss and directed by John Rice. It aired on Fox in the United States on November 11, 2012.
Bob tries to train the kids to hand out posters advertising Bob's Burgers, but it doesn't go to plan, and the kids don't hand out a lot of posters to people.
Bob is recruited to cook, on a one night basis, by Captain Flarty (Jeffrey Tambor) on his ship Windbreaker. To entice him, the rest of the Belcher family is given a VIP card and run of the ship. Once on the ship, Bob finds the current chef's work deplorable, Linda goes crazy with the VIP card, Gene experiences confusing feelings for a manatee puppet, Tina seeks out a massage, and Louise has her nails done.
Before Bob's one night engagement ends, Windbreaker sets sail, kidnapping the Belchers, though only Bob seems disturbed by this. The voyage proves to be deplorable for Bob, as the Captain's current chef Duval proves to be almost unbearable— using vegetables to make vegetable stew that isn't even fresh, and purposefully sweating into the stew to "save on salt." Bob finds this disturbing, but Duval claims that the passengers don't care, and only complain if they run out, which angers Captain Flarty, and insists on serving rotten oysters to the passengers, despite that it could cause them to suffer food poisoning.
Bob eventually can't stand the crazy Captain Flarty and disgruntled chef and escapes and soon tries to signal a nearby ship for help, but Captain Flarty drowns Bob out with loud music, and the nearby ship captain thinks that Bob is just messing with him and ignores Bob's drowned out calls for help. After spending the night hiding from Captain Flarty and his crew in one of the ship's pools, Bob finds Duval drinking in a large pot, and tries to convince the chef to throw the rotten oysters overboard, but Duval locks Bob in a walk-in room on the ship still insisting on serving the oysters to the passengers attending the buffet, claiming that Captain Flarty is "complicated" but knows what's best.
Bob manages to escape the walk-in using a can of canned meat to break open an air vent and make the hole big enough for him to fit through. Bob eventually finds Louise who is busy experimenting with her new Wolverine-style long nails, and asks her to help distract the captain so Bob can get the oysters away from the buffet. Bob arrives at the buffet too late, and the passengers attending insist on eating the oysters, unaware that they're spoiled, and thinks that Bob wants the oysters for himself. Louise executes the distraction plan, but accidentally leads everyone to Bob in the process. Bob tries to host a mutiny against the captain, but doesn't get support from the crew until a seaman on the ship reports that people attending the buffet are suffering food-poisoning because of the rotten oysters that the captain forced Duval to serve at the buffet. Captain Flarty tries to put Bob on a dinghy as punishment for trying to get rid of the oysters, but Duval and the rest of the crew turn against the captain, having had enough of cleaning up the captain's messes.
