...and if you need someone to deadpan a terrible pun, it's hard to top H. Jon Benjamin.

I'm halfway through Season 2 of Bob's Burgers now, and while it would take a change of greater magnitude than Home Movies ditching Squigglevision (with a better upshot than going pure Flash, too) for the art style to appeal to me, Bob's is an absolute showcase of brilliantly awful puns. We're talking Rocky and Bullwinkle level, here - and "Foodtruckin'" put even Chowder to shame with the titular businesses' monickers. The three "couch gag" puns per episode - the name of the neighbouring store, the exterminator truck and Bobs' daily special - are a particularly nice touch.
