| I watched Bob's Burger's first and second season when they came out and weren't overly impressed. Five years later I gave an episode in season 7 a chance and liked it, then I watched all episodes in reverse order. Turns out the series really improved after season 2 in both story and characters. The animation improved too (trivia: in earlier episodes Louise had four eyelashes, now she has three). I found Louise to be annoying at first but after S03E21 "Boyz 4 Now" she became a reason to watch the show. I had been wanting to make a vector flash so I traced her using the line tool in Flash Pro CS6, which took forever. Traced the burger too, which also took forver. Back in 2011 or 2012 I played around in the physics engine Box2D, it has a version in ActionScript3 so I put that in and made some burgers bounce around on the sound waves. The stage is set to NoScale ("100%") so the space the burgers have to bounce around in can be changed by resizing the flash, Louise and the burgers change their size depending on the height of the flash to mimick regular ShowAll scaling. Since you can't view the source bar in NoScale mode it will become visible via AS3 if the stage is set to be narrow and tall. If you right-click and change to ShowAll scaling the flash will adapt to it. I traced Louise's eyes as well though I think it turned out looking a little creepy so they are only open on one of the random songs in this. You can press "O" or "F" to toggle the face (eyes). "D" or "0" (zero) toggles debug drawing of the shapes of the physics engine, notice that there are more circles towards the edges because the soundwaves tend to slope more there so unless I did that burgers could slip below the wave. "Space" or "N" to play the next music track. Press "ENTER" or "B" to insert more burgers! Eventually the physics auto-downgrades its accuracy to try to improve the framerate. 6 out of the 12 songs have less chance to play when the flash starts. Louise changes her movement speed depending on the beats per minute of the track that is played. Originally I thought about only having one song ("Sean Kingston - Party All Night"), then the swf file would have been just 990 KiB. The flash is just 28.2 KiB without any audio data at all. A little trick with this flash is that you can mute the tab in some browsers and flash will make the waveform of the audio completely flat. Btw later in 2017 I happened to see an episode of Gravity Falls and Mabel in it has exactly the same voice as Louise. Judging from various videos on YouTube it seems to just be how Kristen Schaal speaks normally. She's the only female voice actress for the main characters in Bob's Burgers, Linda and Tina are both male voices.
