Bob's Burgers to air a pinworm epidemic episode written before the coronavirus pandemic

Entertainment Weekly

"It’s about a pinworms epidemic," executive producer Nora Smith said of the second episode of Season 11 during the Fox comedy's Comic-Con@Home panel Friday. "Two people in my life have gotten pinworms in their butts, so it just seemed like a fun pandemic story, back when those were wild and fancy free. And then this happened and I was like, 'Oh no, people are going to think we’re joking about it.'... They take it seriously, but hopefully it’s more fun because it’s about anus stuff... There’s a lot of hand-washing. I'm hoping that people think of it as an escape to a more fun pandemic."
