In the very first episode of Bob’s Burgers, the patriarch of the Belcher family gives something of a pep talk to his children. He tasks each of them with something to do for the family restaurant and explains that they need to get it all right. He concludes the not-so-rousing speech by saying, “Listen, you’re my children and I love you, but you’re all terrible at what you do here and I feel like I should tell you, I’d fire all of you if I could.”

This Father’s Day, we want you to give your dad the ultimate gift: vengeance for his murder. His killer dishonored your family, and you must deliver justice.

Follow the example of the wronged children from history below. Hunt down the killer, no matter how long it takes, and no matter how many years of training you need to sculpt your body into an assassin. Then introduce yourself. Remind them of their crimes. And tell them to ready themselves for oblivion.
