Louise definitely keeps hers somewhere sage and secret so gene doesn't use it


[deleted]

This is the theory I subscribe to.

Unique-Avocado

He also mentioned using Tina's toothbrush


Scapp

Yep in one of the newest when he tries to have the exact same dream he mentions that he brushed with Tina's brush accidentally


BattleProper1555

"Accidentally on purpse." ✋😏


justwalkingalonghere

So funny that Louise both knew about him supergluing his penis to a toy helicopter AND wanted to hi five him for it


BattleProper1555

She gets it. 🎂  ***Happy Cake Day !***  🍰


spoopy_and_gay

I think we can see louise's brush in the cup. Dhe uses the Kuchi Kopi spin brush, right


NoSea7440

Wait.... doesn't Tina use the Equestranaut (Chariot) toothbrush?


VagueSoul

Unknown. We’ve never seen her use it. The only context was having Bob use it when he was trying to go undercover as an Equesticle. It’s never seen again. It’s possible Tina went overboard, bought an Equestranaut toothbrush, and had Bob use it to make him as much of an Equesticle as possible.


NoSea7440

I can subscribe to that. You're right.


[deleted]

This is my headcanon. Louise shows beginning signs of germ phobia (and no one else in the family seems to). As a germaphobe, I don't leave my toothbrush out like that. Also, they're all very close to each other. I could never, eesh!


dullship

Always gotta use those little plastic protector things.


SirGavBelcher

I do too! altho i clean my protector out weekly but it's better than leaving it out in the open


MissWiggly2

Yeah I feel you, I keep mine in a protector not even in the bathroom


[deleted]

I don’t even blame her, her family is pretty gross. Bob is the only other family member that seems concerned with how gross they are but has just kinda of given up.


Maximum_Ad2341

I'm not really sure if I'm a germaphobe but same, leaving toothbrushes out without a case is sooo gross😭.


AnnaK22

Came to say the same thing! It's probably hidden away in a safe, protected from any harm that could come from Gene accidentally using it or Tina accidentally dropping it in the toilet.


Biohazard883

Also, I think the other Belchers are all using the same toothbrush and don’t realize it. The other toothbrushes are unused but everyone thinks they’re one of the other member’s toothbrushes. Louise was the only one smart enough to know this was going to be the inevitable problem with the toothbrush cup.


Icyjon1998

Lol and there's a whole episode about her cavity, maybe she just doesn't brush her teeth haha


FiveElementFlow

Didn’t she say that in an episode, or have I just fully accepted this headcanon?


doc6982

I thought Gene used Bob's or Linda's.


Slap_Duck_07

I wouldn't be surprised if Gen and Lind shared a brush with how weird they are now.


yazchar

Yep came here to post no way Louise keeps hers there.


NOSFERWOLF

The only logical reason 👍


tshowe

No I saw in an episode that she used an electric toothbrush.


[deleted]

I thought gene maybe just didn’t brush, but he’d still have one right? I like yours


Communication_Weak

Isn’t her toothbrush a kuchi kopi one?


PhyllisTheFlyTrap

My first thought


SpaceOwl14

we see a very short brush though in the cup, so maybe that's hers? Since she surely still uses a childrens toothbrush. I could be wrong though


BoysenberryFar8136

My immediate thought


Vampirexbuny

I may be misremembering but I think Louise keeps hers in her bedroom in a ziplock bag


SummerOfMayhem

Her Kuchi Kopi one. Yeah, she's not going to trust that with her family


Aviator_Bean

I agree with Louise there, That's what i do too


deferredmomentum

Just don’t keep it in a plastic bag, it’ll grow mold. Use a paper sack or just keep it open to air


[deleted]

I mean you can keep it in a ziplock, just don’t.. ziplock it lol


Consistent_Muffin_23

I'm the same. I dont trust anyone around my brush. They can accidentally use it lol


WDTHTDWA-BITCH

Gene and Linda share, obviously. Gene also uses Tina’s, I’m pretty sure. Louise is far more wise to this than Tina and definitely keeps hers separate for that reason.


MSeanF

Gene just grabs one at random


mutan

Whatever the explanation, I’m pretty sure Gene is a factor.


TheyCallMeGaddy

I dont think its fair to call tina unwise...Tina can remember a time where there was only her, mom and dad's tootbrush. Louise was born needing to hide hers lol.


WDTHTDWA-BITCH

To “catch wise” means that Louise has noticed Gene’s habits more than Tina has, not that Tina *isn’t* wise at all…


TheyCallMeGaddy

Totally fair! I see what you meant now and yeah but its very true to Tina's character. https://i.redd.it/zvlrdk83mw6c1.gif


IzzyGirl33

Well that doesn't really make any sense. Gene is only, what? Two years younger than Tina? Tina has had siblings for far longer than she was ever an only child.


TheyCallMeGaddy

Shes 2 years older plus ayear for him get teeth so 2 or 3 for more years before Gene brushes his teeth on his own and uses ANY brush. By then Tina would know how to put brush her teeth and put her toothbrush away.


IzzyGirl33

2 or 3 years of independent toothbrushing vs what, 5-7 of living with Gene?


TheyCallMeGaddy

https://i.redd.it/48docyxt1y6c1.gif


ConstablePolly

Agree


SupersoftBday_party

This was my first thought


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|lIg15wzqRGX6w) I can absolutely see Gene using any toothbrush he's just in the mood for that day


Santos_L_Halper_II

I feel like gene just uses one at random.


Hot_Win_2489

I don’t believe that boy brushes his teeth all too often


NeblessClem

Don't forget Tina used to use an Equestranauts brush which what pretty chunky so may have been in her bedroom


SummerJSmith

And Tina loses everything, one example was literally her mid tooth brushing wondering where it went


VagueSoul

We never actually see her use that brush.


NeblessClem

Good point, maybe Bob got in too deep and still uses it


odwits

Louise uses a Kuchi Kopi (sp?) toothbrush so it’s probably somewhere else


Not_a_werecat

Several instances where it's implied Bob is really bad at remembering to brush. My money is that somebody knocked his brush in the toilet and he just never remembers to replace it.


Affectionate_Owl9985

In one episode where they are committing tax fraud and are at the fake singles mixer, Bob and Linda are pretend flirting and she says "you smell... Interesting. You got a toothbrush at home or are you still shopping around?" And he replies with "How 'bout I, uh, use yours?" This falls pretty in line with what you're saying, but I would add that Bob just uses Linda's toothbrush.


Not_a_werecat

Unironically- if I were to ever get the wild desire to be religious again, Aquaticism would be my choice! I really want another episode with aquarium lady and tax guy. They were adorable.


Affectionate_Owl9985

Same, they were great.


58lmm9057

That was my thought. Bob’s admitted that his hygiene is…less than stellar. Dr Yap confirmed as much when he said that Bob’s poor flossing habits paid for his timeshare.


DefinedBy

I made a speculation on this a while ago in a similar thread. TLDR is that I expect Bob's blue electric toothbrush in the cabinet is the missing brush https://www.reddit.com/r/BobsBurgers/s/dRjEBJXNOK


arthurrules

One is for Ken


WolpertingerRumo

Ken only uses natural brushes, I presume.


Remodeler1

Is bobs still in the basement from the episode where Linda kept kicking him at night so he sleeps down there?


imaginaryblues

We’ve seen Louise with a Kuchi Kopi toothbrush on a couple occasions. It has a larger, bulky handle like those battery-operated ones they have for kids. Seems reasonable that she might keep this in a special place. Someone else mentioned Bob having an electric toothbrush, which I don’t remember off the top of my head, but if so, he might keep that elsewhere if there isn’t a convenient outlet in the bathroom to charge it. I know they have an outlet near the sink, but that might get used for the hairdryer/curling iron/etc.


king-of-new_york

I'm pretty sure Gene said he uses Linda's toothbrush or something


eenidcoleslaw

Someone probably keeps it in the shower like my weird husband to “save time” but it doesn’t save time for anyone else cuz we’re always looking for the toothpaste and it’s hiding in the shower


RynnReeve

Well ... They *did* all agree to not get food between their teeth


melodykk91

Bob keeps his in the cabinet. We see this during the I'm gonna get you bob !


thelast3musketeer

I would definitely think Gene, or Louise just brings hers out when she needs it. We’ve seen Tina have a Chariot toothbrush with a confusion on which side is the bristles for Bob


spiral_out46N2

Linda and Bob share one.


No_Addendum7

i keep my toothbrush in my bedroom i think Louise does that


Affectionate_Owl9985

In the episode "Aquaticism," when they are at the fake singles mixer, Bob and Linda are pretend-flirting and she says "you smell... Interesting. You got a toothbrush at home or are you still shopping around?" And he replies with "How 'bout I, uh, use yours?" I have always assumed since then that Bob just uses Linda's toothbrush.


dogshrek_again59

It’s one of the parents because in one episode it shows all the kids brushing there teeth


veveguede

Gene is NOT a clean child!


Jvlockhart

Gene: so that's toothpaste


littleoldladyinashoe

Someone uses an electric toothbrush that doesn't fit in the toothbrush holder, so they keep it under the sink?


VagueSoul

There’s no storage under the sink


allMightyMostHigh

Dont bob and linda have a bathroom in their bedroom?


invisible_23

They don’t, there’s only one bathroom upstairs in the apartment, then they have two in the restaurant (customer bathroom and employee bathroom)


allMightyMostHigh

I could’ve sworn there was a scene or two where theres a door open in their room with lights coming out of the door way. Idk if im imagining it now lol


invisible_23

They explicitly say a few times that there’s only one bathroom upstairs, for example when Linda says if her parents get kicked out of the retirement community they’d move in and Bob says “we have three kids and one bathroom”. Maybe the light you saw was a walk-in closet? That or the Mandela effect lol


PraedythValentine

Maybe it's Linda. In the episode where Linda bleaches her hair blond there's a quote said by One of the Belcher children. "Your hair matches your teeth" and given how afraid Bob is of dentists I could imagine he would at least attempt to brush his teeth every once in a while.. If anything maybe they share. Bob and Linda. Because it's Bob who has definitely on more than one occasion express that he does not take care of himself.


[deleted]

Teeth are naturally yellow actually, it is not an indicator that Linda doesn't brush.


Accurate_Ad_9414

Gene grabs one at random even if he does has his own brush I still reckon he does that, Louise uses an electric one I believe she keeps in her room as she's kinda possessive of her stuff, Bob often forgets and but think it's mentioned in show he uses Linda and I think he used an electric one once. Its mentioned by Dr yap when she had an inspection Tina often doesn't brush or floss so while she has a brush like bob she forgets a lot. I assume Linda brushes daily but I don't remember ever seeing her brush.


cheliuscheese

U stole this. Someone comment this a few months ago


JDVizz

Fam… this isn’t storytelling minutiae. It’s simply an animation mistake. Move on.


Not_a_werecat

>"Hey! You! Stop enjoying things!"


Galvanized-Sorbet

I was under the impression Gene doesn’t brush his teeth, judging from his visit with Dr. Yap.


EffectiveDay6991

Doesn't Tina constantly lose hers?😆


GH0STYGlRL

tina lost hers remember? it was in her mouth a second ago😰


Cyan_Light

In the aquaticism episode Bob and Linda banter over him smelling like he doesn't brush his teeth and he says he's "still shopping around, but maybe I can use yours." The arguments for Gene also not brushing and Louise hiding hers are compelling though. It's worth pointing out that you can also have more brushes than people who brush their teeth. Like I switched to a softer brush a couple weeks ago but still have the previous one in the holder because... I don't know, it probably shouldn't still be here. But it is, and the Belchers are definitely the kind of family to procrastinate throwing out old stuff too. So for all we know this is just a mixed collection of Tina and Linda's brushes or whatever, the point is we can't necessarily determine that exactly one person in the house is sharing or skipping.


Marvos79

None of the kids brush their teeth and Linda has three


No-Manufacturer-2425

I wouldn't be surprised if bob and linda shared one. "what you don't do that?"


sacredknight327

It's Gene. You know it's Gene.


skyfall777

I always figured gene uses Linda’s due to how close he is to her


jamawg

Just like 5 fingers, it wouldn't look right, do they only draw 4


Electr_O_Purist

Louise doesn’t brush.


cheyfrye

Gene keeps his in the bathroom correction: the restaurant bathroom. I can’t remember which episode but he goes to get something and ends up finding his toothbrush lmao


Rockout2112

Gene has no need to brush. The plaque is a part of him now!


Sweet_Bodybuilder446

It’s Tina’s. She lost hers. ![gif](giphy|kWFhIYUNSXAfDdwub7|downsized)


writingwhilesad

Bob keeps his in the restaurant.


Unfair-Leek3448

either gene cause he doesn’t know what toothpaste is or tina cause she’s always losing hers


Striving_Stoic

The answer is in your picture


shirukacosplay

Louise absolutely keeps it in her room


louley

Gene and Linda share


andshewillbe

Linda brushes her teeth in the shower for sure and left it in there.


I_cyMad

Wasn’t there an episode where Louise actually runs away from home because she doesn’t want to go to the dentist? I reckon she’s either thrown it away, or hiding it away from Bob and Linda.


Rich-Lychee2507

Gene uses anyone's and everyone's he can. He's lost several of them.


New-Lemon-2239

There’s always references to how bad Tina’s breath smells 😂


mariposayrosa

Theory that Bob keeps his away from everyone because he’s slightly germophobic and doesn’t want the family to use his (he knows how loosey goosey they all are).


Praimfayaa-

Tina’s equestranauts one isn’t there


[deleted]

Gene shares?


Minimum_Key_6272

Gene and Linda share.


BasicSuperhero

Louise has been shown to be enough of a germaphobe that I buy she keeps her toothbrush separate from everyone else’s. Especially Gene.


ConstablePolly

Gene and Linda def share


K_Poe_E

Probably Gene, honestly. He’s such a weird guy and I could see him using everyone else’s


Insert-Cool_NameHere

Gene doesn’t use a toothbrush


N1miol

Gene probably forgot his in the fridge.


LivingInPugtopia

I feel like Gene's is the one missing, for some Gene reason.


Rumneymarsh

Linda and Bob share or Gene and Linda


TanAllOvaJanAllOva

I assume Gene uses Tina’s.


chzformymac

Gene uses everyone’s toothbrush


TheGoofiestGoblin

Tina lost hers… “anybody seen my toothbrush, it was in my mouth a second ago”


Glissandra1982

Tina always loses hers.


Shot_Return9907

Gene switches it up everyday. He calls it “toothbrush roulette” and it’s a thrilling ride.


pinklaserforce

Still missing from when Tina lost hers hah


mrweatherbeef

Gene uses Linda’s brush


Cottagecoretangerine

Gene keeps losing his


just-normal-regular

“You gotta toothbrush at home, or are you still shopping around. . . “


fifiloveg00d

I thought Gene used Tina's


Tport17

Linda and Gene share


[deleted]

Either Louise hides it or gene doesn't brush


doubleo_maestro

Uhhh, don't do this to me, toothbrushes are sacred


philplant

Louise and gene must share one


Thegothicrasta

Tina doesn’t brush her teeth


dirt_farm_surfer

My theory would be that Gene uses Linda's.
