In “Go Tina on the Mountain” (Season 8, Episode 14) our favorite bespectacled Belcher is desperate for a life-changing nature adventure. This will seemingly boost her confidence and fix all her problems, while forever bonding her to a cliquey group of friends led by mean girl Tammy (Jenny Slate). In a tune true to life’s unpredictability, Tina’s hike takes an unexpected turn when a rainstorm cancels her plans of an epiphany in nature. After rebelliously leaving the confiding cabin with her classmates, she meets Martha, the self-proclaimed Wonder Woman of the Woods, in a standout guest spot from Nicole Byer as the unreliable chucker of axes.
Byer is known for her hosting gig on the side-splitting Netflix baking competition series “Nailed it!” She also lends her immediately recognizable vocal talents to one of the best TV shows from 2022, “Tuca & Bertie.” The talented comedian even secured a part on the “Bob’s Burgers” feature film as news reporter Olsen Benner.
Though she leads Tina astray with a dangerous sense of invulnerability, Byer’s silly portrayal of Martha represents a frustrating expectation to conform to society. By the end of the episode, we learn that Martha is not quite who she initially appears to be, and the humorous juxtaposition of this eye-opening reveal prompts Louise to go out looking for the wandering Tina, resulting in the mountain top expedition she yearned for.
