Teddy

He is a carpenter, a handyman, Bob Belcher's best friend, and a frequent diner at his restaurant. Teddy is a chubby burly middle-aged man. He has tan skin and has a shaven head with a 5 o'clock shadow. He wears a blue button-down with rolled up sleeves, a white T-shirt underneath and brown cargo pants. Teddy wears a gray beanie at all times. When he was a young adult, Teddy was muscular and had long blond hair. He was attractive enough to be on a shark movie as one "Handsome Lifeguard Number 3." He let himself go after one of the cute beach girl actresses turned him down after an operator on set bumped Teddy, making him spill his drink all over said actress. His condition has not improved since his divorce. While he was in the Navy, Teddy kept his blond hair cut short. While kind-hearted as well as a loyal customer and family friend to the Belchers, Teddy is known for telling long-winded stories. He's also known for invading Bob's personal space. Teddy is something of a "sad-sack:" he is a desperate, divorced and lonely individual with few social skills longing for companionship and a family of his own. Because of this he desperately wants to be part of the Belcher family and is often inserting himself into their personal lives. He frequents Bob's Burgers in order to have someone to talk to because he is lonely. Teddy has many fears and anxieties, the greatest of which he claims to be costumed characters and their "soulless eyes," after an incident with his ex-wife. Sometimes he fidgets his hands when he's nervous. He also has a hot temper, and has been seen to fly off the handle in defense of those he loves, but always seems to express immediate regret. Teddy eats everything Teddy was once married to Denise, who treated him horribly and insulted him constantly. When they were in a relationship, Denise made Teddy go to the bathroom in the yard, and she's the reason why Teddy covers his head because she told him that the back of his head looks like a butt. She never wanted to be seen with Teddy when they went out to eat, and she made him sit in the car every time ("Cheer Up, Sleepy Gene"). She also constantly cheated on Teddy ("Sea Me Now"). In "Bed and Breakfast," Teddy reveals that he once caught her having sex with a man named Ray, who dresses as a seal down at the amusement park. He claims it was a threeway between them, but it's likely a lie Denise was telling, or Teddy was trying to spare his own feelings. Despite Denise's horrible treatment towards Teddy, he never held her accountable. They divorced after she left him for someone who was into boats. Following their divorce, Teddy spent years fixing up a boat which he christens Sea Me Now to try and impress her, but he crashes in front of her, and finally explodes with a flare gun. All of the Belchers recognize Denise's poor treatment of her ex-husband, and as a result, they often attempt to help him connect with other women, usually to mixed results. He's over 40 years old. He's considered a sweet and gentle person who would do anything for you, maybe a little dramatic, but he'd kneel before you. Many things the hqce doesn't turn out well, so he's a fool with a big heart.
