linda ("lin", "lyn" or "lynn" ) belcher (voiced by john roberts) – linda belcher is bob's happy-go-lucky and supportive wife and the mother of tina, gene and louise. prior to her marriage to bob, she was engaged to hugo, who is now a local health inspector ("human flesh"). in the fifth-season episode "eat, spray, linda" she turned 44 years old. she has also referred to herself as a "pre middle aged mother" ("lindapendent woman") linda often calls her husband bobby, and her attraction to bob is in part due to his passion for his work, and also due to his "tom selleckian" mustache. she remains a loyal and devoted wife despite their frequent financial problems and never having had a honeymoon or a day off in 10 years ("weekend at mort's"). she has a preference for mustaches, and says bob "made himself ugly" when he shaved it off ("sheesh! cab, bob?"). her passions include singing, dinner theater, porcelain baby figurines, tom selleck, nautically themed romance novels, and prenatal yoga. she handles the accounting for the restaurant, though her bookkeeping methods are sometimes troublesome and overly complicated. she is fond of alcohol and is known to say that "mommy doesn't get drunk; she just has fun." linda is extroverted, has a thick new jersey accent, and is somewhat odd; she is also fond of tackling problems using unconventional methods, though her methods are frequently over-optimistic and things sometimes go awry. she often encourages her kids to engage in behavior that bob finds annoying, and though she wants what's best for her kids, she tends to be scatter-brained. bob has described her as a "pushover" because she allows people (the kids) to take advantage of her. she has a contentious relationship with louise and often misunderstands her, even once organizing a slumber party for louise against her will. she is a talented lyricist, as shown in "lil hard dad;" gene may have inherited his musical predilection from her. she has tendency to spontaneously burst into song, a trait she shares with her voice actor john roberts. many of the songs she is known for are improvised by roberts, including her "thanksgiving song", "dish-a-dee-doo" (a jazzy ditty sung while washing the dishes, as seen in "mother daughter laser razor"), and a hair-braiding ditty that references the late harry truman. her songs are frequently remade and set to music for the episode's end credits.

as they are always late with payment, bob and linda are unsure of how they will make the deadline. bob complains that tina is in love with jimmy jr. and both gene and louise are friends with the twins, andy and ollie pesto. these relationships are at odds with bob's own feud with pesto. when the kids arrive home from school, jimmy sr. puts a banner on his restaurant saying his restaurant is now also serving burgers. bob and linda head over to pesto's to complain. meanwhile, the kids sneak into jimmy pesto's and reveal that bob's regular customers mort and teddy eat at jimmy's restaurant as well. as jimmy continues trying to get bob's burgers to close, the belchers devise methods of obtaining the rent money, with bob and linda taking suggestions from the kids. gene suggests live music, tina suggests slow dancing and louise suggests voodoo. linda suggests putting out flyers stating that the food will be half-price. later that night, jimmy tastes his own burger, criticizes it, and takes it off the menu.
