I Love Mr. Fischoeder As A Character And Analyzing Him Is Just Such A Treat - Tumblr Posts

MR FISCHOEDER! For the ask game

I'm predictable can't help it

Ooooooh, this is a fun one!!

First impression: I think I've always liked Mr. Fischoeder. He always gave off such hilarious vibes. He's always been the kooky, eccentric landlord that the Belchers enjoy, but also are a bit scared of because they keep missing out on the rent, ahahaha. But I've always found him very funny and entertaining to watch.

Impression now: I think Mr. Fischoeder is very funny, and such a great character to explore. He's voiced wonderfully by Kevin Kline, and I honestly just can't get enough of him. He's great. I hope we get even more of him and Felix because that would be wonderful.

Favorite moment: It's so hard to choose, but one of my favorites was his song in Roamin' Bob-Iday because his calling himself a "big, sexy boy" is iconic. And that moment in the movie where he and Felix are stuck in the submarine, and he mentions their dead cousin Baxter, and how despite being dead, he's somehow still worse than Grover, in his opinion. Comedy gold. Also, it's very sweet how he helped the Belchers escape, he genuinely cares about them so much 🥺 Also, the entirety of What A (April Fool) Believes is so funny. His strange, homo-erotic tension with Bob is incredible. Oooh, oooh, also, his song in Nice-Capades is so iconic and hilarious. His entire role in that episode was iconic, actually.

Idea for a story: @br1ghtestlight started making this super fun and interesting fic where Mr. Fischoeder offers the Belchers some free rent if Bob goes on a (sort of) date with him. His reasons for wanting to go on a (sort of) date with Bob are that he simply wants to experience what it's like to go on a date with another man, as he grew up in a society where homosexuality was still quite taboo. He wanted to do something that he knew would make his father roll in his grave, pfffffft. It's just a super interesting idea, and it really deepens his character in a really nice way.

Unpopular opinion: I actually don't know if I have any unpopular opinions about Mr. Fischoeder?? Maybe just that I want to see him more, but there are barely any characters whom I wouldn't say that about.

Favorite relationship: His dynamic with Bob is so flipping hilarious, it gets me every single time. He clearly has some strange, one-sided crush on Bob, which Bob obviously doesn't really reciprocate because he and Linda are soulmates. But he does still indulge Mr. Fischoeder on occasion, which is so funny to see.

Favorite headcanon: That he's not straight. I mean, look at this man. He is 1,000% not straight. I could totally see him being either Bi or Gay and having a ton of Comphet because of the society he grew up in. That would honestly be pretty plausible. But for some reason, I do want to lean more into him being Bi, because I could still see him genuinely enjoying being with women. He does seem very Cis, though, he gives off a lot of Cis Male vibes for some reason.
