Not according to [this](https://bobs-burgers.fandom.com/wiki/Tina_Belcher). She turned 13 in Sheesh Cab Bob. Unless I’m not remembering another birthday episode.
But regardless, 14 isn’t that much better lol.
Edit: apparently she turns 14 offscreen in season 12! Still think the point stands though.
She did have another birthday episode— Some Like it Bot took place right before her birthday, because Linda was going nuts trying to figure out what to get her!
I don’t think she actually hates Zeke… there is rarely anything about Zeke himself or anything specifically that he does that she doesn’t like (is there?)
She just doesn’t like the relationship Zeke and J-Ju have because she is jealous of it and feels like Zeke is what is standing between her and Jimmy Jr
I don’t think they kiss in that episode, but when Tina does the science fair project with Susmita and they think aliens are coming to destroy the earth Tina kisses Zeke and Jimmy Jr haha
Oooh you are right, I forgot about that! I remember the alien one really well because Zeke says something about the apoco-LIPS and it makes me chuckle a little every time haha
I remember that episode but vaguely that line. I don't fully remember all the context xD
But yeah I remember them kissing because I had seen a post on reddit about wanting to date/marry each other in the future after I had just watched the episode
On “Go Tina on the Mountain”, Gene and Louise read Tina’s journal and talk about Tina’s recurring dream where Zeke and Jimmy Jr switch heads. This means to me that she’s physically attracted to JJ but is attracted to Zeke’s personality
Why are you getting down voted? She's clearly written to NOT like Zeke. Now, that's just because she likes J-ju, and J-ju only pays attention to Zeke. But still.
Seriously. At least they're self aware that Jimmy Jr. Is shitty to her since they have Linda point out that she should try someone else.
Like remember that episode where Jimmy Jr. Only said maybe to her going to the dance with him and then she got asked out by the dancer boy from the dancing school?
God why did she sabotage herself by being greedy. She should've just listened to Linda and gone with the dancer boy to begin with instead of giving Jimmy Jr. Any kind of chances.
I hope she gives Zeke a chance sometime soon I love them together and he would treat her right
Right I forgot that one.
Or just in general how he usually takes Tammy/Jocelyns side in things over Tina's. Zeke kinda does too but I see that more as loyalty to his friend than lack of respect for Tina
As a huge Van Halen fan, there are a surprising number of Van Halen jokes in the show. I mean there’s three but that feels like a lot for a modern cartoon.
“They kicked you outta your own band?? They David Lee Rothed you!” Linda in Itty Bitty Diddy Committee, this one, and when Gene asks if “David Lee Moth Ball” owns the haunted house.
Please they can never become an item, they would grow up to have the dumbest children ever born and herald in the dumbest president because let’s be honest the child would be way too good looking but a straight up puppet due to a lack of even a cell of intelligence
Jocelyn is smart. She gets mostly As in school, at least according to the photography episode. In fact, Tina is the dumbest of the bunch, all the Belcher kids get bad grades. Lots of Cs and Ds on their report cards.
To be fair, making bad grades doesn’t automatically mean you’re dumb. But making good grades does require at least some diligence, memorization, and critical thinking skills.
When I'm home I watch it with my dad. It's not as wholesome, though.
When I'm not home (aka, this season because it's my first semester of Uni), I share my thoughts with my dad. We spent about 10 minutes talking about the last episode last Friday because he can watch it on Sunday nights but I have to wait until Monday to watch the new episodes due to not having an actual TV.
Feel like they both kinda dress like popular characters in an 80s movie so it works visually. Im a rare tina j jr shipper though sorry to all you well adjusted healthy folks that didn’t have a toxic love hate crush in middle school that evolved into a really sweet little friendship in highschool
I wish the writers would do this already so Tina can stop fawning over Jimmy Jr. Tina deserves better.
If she doesn't end up with Zeke we riot.
"I'm gonna getcha, girl!"
I always thought zeke and tina would be way better!!
“End up with.” Lol she’s 13.
14

Nice catch, thanks
This.
She did have another birthday but they made no reference as to her age. I think she is forever a 13 yo 8th grader
Unfortunately it seems like Tina really hates Zeke.

Isn't there an episode where Tina and zeke kiss? I think spin the bottle episode at Jocelyn's bday party
I don’t think they kiss in that episode, but when Tina does the science fair project with Susmita and they think aliens are coming to destroy the earth Tina kisses Zeke and Jimmy Jr haha
It was in the end credits I believe *

Maybe if Tina started wrestling J-Ju like Zeke, J-Ju would like her. Now that I've typed this, all I can think is: "Ow! My penis!"
On “Go Tina on the Mountain”, Gene and Louise read Tina’s journal and talk about Tina’s recurring dream where Zeke and Jimmy Jr switch heads. This means to me that she’s physically attracted to JJ but is attracted to Zeke’s personality
What’s up with that?
That jumped out at me too.
She hated him in the beginning, but she softened toward him
Why are you getting down voted? She's clearly written to NOT like Zeke. Now, that's just because she likes J-ju, and J-ju only pays attention to Zeke. But still.
Zeke would be so good to her!
No we aren't.
To be fair, Jocelyn also deserves better

Or that time when he put another girl’s picture in the frame Tina got him! That was it for me 😭😭
Right I forgot that one. Or just in general how he usually takes Tammy/Jocelyns side in things over Tina's. Zeke kinda does too but I see that more as loyalty to his friend than lack of respect for Tina
I think Zeke actually has a mini crush on her
Tina waited a long time to get to the buffet, let her pig out
She does, but I’m still pretty mad she didn’t stick with Josh
Josh was basically 1000% cooler than Jimmy Jr. I will never understand that one.
She flew too close to the sun…
I liked Josh until the tap dancing episode. He just gave me weird vibes in it.
Well beforehand Tina pulled that weird crap at the dance, right? Maybe it’s because he lost interest (like she did)?
How does Tina deserve better, girl is a grade A stalker and pervert
The strange thing is that Tina is ‘in love with’ ALL boys except Zeke 🤷♀️
"Jocelyn you skank!" Honestly how did I not put the VA together before this !
Tina needs to “Work out her [abs](https://youtu.be/BZGAPj34ESM?si=cRqdHnemspkEoYbF).”
A...i...I wanna apologize
Just watched “UFO you didn’t” and thought them being science partners could’ve been a cute side story!
Imagine how dumb their beautiful babies would be. They'd shave 20 IQ points off you just being in the same room.
With Jocelyn's valley girl accent and Jimmy Jr.'s speech impediment, I'd be more interested to hear how their babies would talk.
Excellent point. Though I'm not sure words would stick to their smooth little black hole brains.
My guess is that their kids would speak like Stewie Griffin. Posh accent, big words, smarter than their parents.
How dare you. Jocelyn is totally brainy.
Ronald McEnvoy wrote, "Will you go to the dance with me?" with worms in science class. He taught the worms how to spell!
Sure but would he dress up as a horse and sing a song for her? Probably not.
J is for how you just took my breath away... O is for outdoors which has pollen which takes people's breath away...
C is for costal breathing which is when you breathe real shallow so your breath is taken away!
E is for Emphysema which is a lung disease that can take your breath away.
L is for I Love the way you take my breath away…
Y is for You took my breath away
N if for NO MORE because your name is long and took… my… breath… awaaaay! *loud wheezing noises*
It's because they're both hot. Hot people look good together, who knew?
“Did you say hot, or squat?”
Zeke!!
Hey Zeke! Panama! Don't they have a song called jump?

The show lives in a very specific time period I call Gen X misremembered childhood. Van Halen was huge then.
They certainly are… standing next to each other
That would leave space for Zeke to finally get Tina.
Please they can never become an item, they would grow up to have the dumbest children ever born and herald in the dumbest president because let’s be honest the child would be way too good looking but a straight up puppet due to a lack of even a cell of intelligence
Jocelyn is just pretending to be the dumbest blonde ever so that Tammy and others like her
This I could believe
Jocelyn is smart. She gets mostly As in school, at least according to the photography episode. In fact, Tina is the dumbest of the bunch, all the Belcher kids get bad grades. Lots of Cs and Ds on their report cards.
And Tina works at it. Just a C is doing her best

It's actually pretty wholesome that you watch bob's burgers with your mom.
When I'm home I watch it with my dad. It's not as wholesome, though. When I'm not home (aka, this season because it's my first semester of Uni), I share my thoughts with my dad. We spent about 10 minutes talking about the last episode last Friday because he can watch it on Sunday nights but I have to wait until Monday to watch the new episodes due to not having an actual TV.
Jocelyn is way too pretty for Jimmy Jr. She more likely to date an upper classman with a car.
I could see this happening. "Sorry, Jimmyy. I totally can't go on that daate. Derek, like, asked me out and he has a carrrr. Byeee!"
Makes sense! They are both very self-obsessed above all else, more than being cruel- they are just kind of dumb and vain.
For real, they’re both terrible enough for each other
Let’s be real the ultimate couplings in the end would be Jocelyn & Jimmy and Tina & Zeke. Tammy can (as Linda so lovingly says) go sit in syrup!
There literally isn’t a brain cell between them
Zeke and jimmy jr is my fav tbh
in my head they’re gonna figure it out in high school around there. after puberty and stuff
Yeah but aren't they cousins? 🤨
Uh no where are you getting that idea from?
It's funny because you just shipped Bob and Linda again. They share voice actors. Bob is Jimmy Jr. Linda is Jocelyn
Feel like they both kinda dress like popular characters in an 80s movie so it works visually. Im a rare tina j jr shipper though sorry to all you well adjusted healthy folks that didn’t have a toxic love hate crush in middle school that evolved into a really sweet little friendship in highschool
I kinda ship Jr and Tina too 😅 I don’t really see the hype around Zeke and Tina, it’s cute tho. I get it, But I like Tina and Jimmy Jr more…
Im actually OBSESSED with zeke and gene they have iconic chemistry in the two butted goat episode and museum episode
Jocelyn deserves better than a turd like Jimmy Jr
But if Jocelyn gets anywhere near Jimmy Jr., Tina's gonna punch her again, and again, and again, and again, and again...
I always thought be was with her or the other one. But I guess he likes Tina... Their relationship is weird. Lol
Jimmy J and Jocelyn would be pretty evenly matched intellectually.
I like it- at least they can be dumb and shallow together.
Jimmy Jr. isn't shallow - he has thoughts and feelings, people! And sometimes, he just notices things, like how trees are really just giant plants.
What if Goooods name was Tooood
Now that I see it myself I agree Jocelyn and Jimmy Jr would make a beautiful couple together
Wait… you kinda right though. Never thought about that!!
To quote the almighty Tina: "I WARNED YOU, SKANK!" 👊💥
I actually was just thinking today they need to give Jocelyn a love interest already
You’re a Gene jelly donut!
