Gene would find a way to make the call, but if Ken is hiking fjords, then he is probably not carrying his iphone 15. You need a clear mind for that.

I'd like to say this is more of Gene taking after Linda since she's always on the phone talking to her best friend Ginger who we've never seen. Meanwhile I'd say Louise who takes more after Bob imo, is out here making actual inanimate things talk in the exact same voice as Bob. For example she plays "Food Court" with Gene at lunch, talks to Kuchi Kopie, makes the chocolate she steals from the Wine Train talk, cheers up Regular-sized Rudy with a stapler puppet, etc.

The tongs rang so Gene answered them, but ken was calling from a blender. He could call whatever he wants, Gene doesn't realize he can't call back, even if the tongs weren't broken, those blenders only do outgoing calls. It was a test.

I want to propose a theory here: Ken is real/not real, and Gene''s 'phone call' with him was just Gene talking to himself and imaging what Ken would say because he's stressed. Ken can still be either real or not real, but just in this incidence, it was Gene imagining him being on the phone. Many people talk to themselves after all, and many people win fake arguments in the shower. Gene is an odd duck, so it could be he's just doing that sort of thing.

An interesting thread. I want Ken to be real too

I saw the bob's burgers movie in the theatres last Friday on opening day. It was funny a good movie. It's like another episode on a bigger screen.

Holding all the spoons was very relatable of gene

"Ken! I thought you were in Austin for Business!"

I was introduced to Ken via an ASOIAF meme where he was portrayed by Bloodraven, so... talking to him on a set of tongs isn't enough for me to rule out the two of them actually being in contact.

Gene is too awesome

Ken is like a character David Firth would come up with.

I just want Ken to be real so bad

Also, there is a hiphop albino and his name is Brother Ali.

I love this.

New funny Ken comment in this week's episode. Hopefully more to come so we can have a part 2 of this eventually

I wish they would of kept it ambiguous whether Ken was real or not. That's what kept it funny.

I think we all had a Ken as a kid

I am sad. I feel like Ken, is who Gene's brain made up because everyone ignores him. I mean the kids aren't well adjusted at all. But I guess I'm reading too much into it. The writers just do whatever with the characters.

Hahahaha... danggggggg, Gene held down that entire episode by himself. It was basically a 15 minute monolog.

In Family Guy, Stewie has Brian. In American Dad, Steve has Roger. So Gene needs a best friend he is really close to who can’t exist in the real world. Though this show doesn’t seem crazy enough for Gene to have an anthropomorphic animal like Brian or an extraterrestrial being like Roger as a best friend. Anyway, I 100% miss Ken. I thought he was possibly real until…the home alone episode. So now I’m upset that we definitely know he’s fake.

Gene is my spirit animal.

Everyone saying they didn’t notice how much gene mentioned Ken, but I’m actually surprised this video isn’t longer bc of how much Gene be bringing up Ken lol

People are so upset that Ken turned out not to be real, but it never even crossed my mind that Ken might have been real. Of course he was imaginary. There was never a doubt in my mind that he was imaginary. I mean it's *Gene* for god's sake.
