"Bob is convinced that his role as God's messenger has granted him a divine gift." - In other words, Bob may be getting a superpower! Can it be any cooler than that?

Fun Freddie
God's even thinking about building another universe. This is starting to sound a little “Fringey.” Bob argues that he's been doing quite a good job saving the universe. OK, I think that definitely shows God still hasn't made up his mind and the bet is still on.
I had to play the ladder scene again. First I thought it was a dream, then I thought the Devil was at the top of the ladder, than that his human friends had put the ladder there for him, and finally I realized it landed there by chance.
“Is THIS crazy?” - Great line!
I'm getting the spoiled-brat thing the writers decided for the Devil. Quite a smart (and safe) move for a cartoon. Anything else would be hard to put into a show like this.
“Get away from me, Fun Freddie, or I'll kick you in your fun center.” – LOL.
Anti-France jokes... Yep, that's a stereotypically American show. Apparently God doesn't like Portugal either.
I sort of zoned out during the family bonding. Is it because it's a cartoon I'm having problems to connect with the characters' humanity?
I just realized there are no black people (or people of any other ethnicity) besides Mike, the token black guy.
Andy climbed that electric pole like a monkey. How convenient some things are in a cartoon.
I had a good laugh as Bob thought he was Superman and challenged death in the parachute scene. Just how did the guy he held on to open his parachute if Bob was on it?
Now, a house underneath an overpass. I don't think I've ever seen one.
I'm having problems to connect with this show. I'm definitely not in love with it, and I'm already thinking of alternatives for the next one, even though we're barely reaching the half of our viewing. This episode was OK, again I guess, but in my mood I find it hard to focus and give it a fair grade. I guess 6 God's special guys should cover it.
Actually, I thought this was the best one yet. It's the first episode I mostly enjoyed. The family bonding bit was tedious, as is the Devil's constant whining, but that was mostly broken up by the "invulnerable" bit, which was well done. And they even got in a couple of good ones at the Fun Center.
"Kick you in fun center" was good. I also got a good chuckle out of:
"It's not too late to have more fun!"
"It's not too late to bite my ***!"
I loved the beer in the bunny mugs and "Beer makes it worse! I'm not sure I want to live in a world where beer makes it worse!"
The skydiving bit was predictable, but the banter redeemed it:
"There is such a thing as dumb luck."
"The guy who's going to scrape you off the asphalt is my special guy."
Overall, I've found the best parts are the interaction between Bob and God. The Devil and Bob's family aren't funny, just annoying. They need to re-do that or just give it up. Probably won't happen.

I fell your pain on this series. It's a 13 week vacation for me. Will watch the episode tomorrow morning.
Oh no. The Devil's getting needy again. That always takes something away from it.
How's Bob ever going to explain the Satanic butt print burned into Donna's cook book. We already know she won't believe the truth about it.
A few good jokes here and there in this one: "She's coming along nicely." "Get away from me, Fun Freddie, or I'll kick you in your fun center." "How about we pry your hands off my... wait, where are the seats?" Somehow I don't quite think that shower scene is what's usually meant by "fear of God." "Oh, for Pete's sake. I created you. You have a healthy, beautiful male... on second thought, better get that towel."
My favorite joke of the episode:
"Just looking at a special guy."
"Better you than me."
Score a big one for Donna.
Overall, however, this one was on autopilot. Make The Devil needy again like in the birthday episode, make Bob think he's invincible, a little of this and a little of that.
Only 6 knives stuck in the kitchen floor for this one.

I'd've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids.
Somehow it felt like God was calling Bob retarded or something. "Oh, you're my *special* guy, aren't you?" I felt it was a sort of condescending tone.
shareAh yes the indestructible story. Family guy, simpsons and futurerama have all done this. and they are not without there charm but I didn't find this one to interesting. The family stuff with Megan and Donna just don't do anything for me nor do I find them very funny as a matter of fact, I don't particularly care for Bob's wife too much at all. Even though she thinks Bob is crazy, I would think she would have a little more empathy for him and be a little more caring rather than just grouchy and mean.
The devil is too whiny though I did get excited for a moment when he had the war map down but that quickly turned into another crying devil episode. How many times can he beat smek? The car factory going crazy was amusing but not enough to sustain an episode. The show is not horrible, it's not great, It just is.
All in all not much to talk about I give it 4 bunnies of bear on the GBD scale.

This Friday on “God, the Devil and Bob” ep. 06: “God's Favorite”
Painful to watch this week presentation took time out from watching football to fulfill this weeks assignment. Seems like God can never keep the devil happy the devil needs to be stroked like a puppy dog. He was so worried about being left out in God’s new universe. Enjoyed the scene inside the Associated Motors plant was their anyone in there working. Is that why my Ford cost so much money? Is Donna too old to be spanked that girl sure can get on your nerves with all her whining. She’s the one thing the devil has done right is created young Donna.
Well another one done how many more to go?
Well another one done how many more to go?
Still seven more to go... (Like the seven capital sins.)
lol Donna is the wife you knucklehead. lol I guess Bob could spank her or maybe he does...who knows.

Really sorry about that I kind of like the Donna character. Seven more I can do them standing on my head.
shareThe infuriating daughter is Megan.

Yes, she is coming along nicely.
