Bob's Burgers Wiki

I will take a chill pill, I will. Because I have a congenital heart condition, and I take them every day.
— Courtney Wheeler

Courtney Wheeler is the daughter of Doug and Mrs. Wheeler. She attends Wagstaff School as a sixth-grader with Tina, Gene, and Louise Belcher. The Wheeler child is close friends with Julie and Rupa and somewhat with the Belcher children. She's occasionally Gene's girlfriend and love interest. She and her family make their first appearance in "The Unbearable Like-Likeness of Gene."

She is voiced by David Wain.

Profile[]

Appearance[]

Courtney has blonde hair like her mother. She wears a lilac purple tank top and a darker purple skirt. She wears a gold necklace with a heart shaped locket on it which she likes to loudly suck on.

Personality[]

Courtney is described as annoying with habits including, sucking on her necklace, talking on her cellphone in the bathroom (confusing Tina), kicking the front seat of cars, breathing too loud and talking too much ("The Unbearable Like-Likeness of Gene").

Aside from being annoying, Courtney also displays a bratty side as shown in "The Unbearable Like-Likeness of Gene" when she and her friends don't let Gene get a word in their one sided relationship to start with, continuously kicks Bob's seat when she's riding in the backseat of his car and interrupts Gene while he is singing his love jingle at her birthday party.

Courtney seems to have matured somewhat by "The Gene and Courtney Show." She doesn't show nearly as many of her annoying traits and Gene even wants to be in a relationship with her. She's also more likable in "The Gene Mile."

Story[]

Relationships[]

Family[]

Doug Wheeler[]

Courtney's father is Doug Wheeler, a jingle composer who is eager to live vicariously through his daughter as a stage parent in episodes such as "Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl" and "Roller? I Hardly Know Her!," much to her indifference.

Mrs. Wheeler[]

Little is known about Courtney's mother who has so far only appeared in a few episodes.

Love interests[]

Gene Belcher[]

Though Courtney is Gene's first girlfriend, he does not "like-like" her when he asks her out in "The Unbearable Like-Likeness of Gene." Gene is scared to break up with Courtney and when he meets her cool dad, he convinces himself that he could maybe spend the rest of his life with her. Though they break up by the end of the episode, they seem to be on good terms.

When Courtney next appears, she is Gene's creative rival in "Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl." Throughout the episode, their relationship evolves from competitive to collaborative and though their relationship is aromantic throughout the episode, they share an on-stage kiss at the end of their musical.

Gene and Courtney begin "The Gene & Courtney Show" once again as creative partners, but begin to have feelings for one another the closer they work together, even kissing during a practice session. As their romance heats up, their work suffers and Mr. Grant convinces them that they can't have a relationship and a successful P.A. radio show. Courtney picks the radio show and Gene picks the relationship, but agrees to break up for the sake of the show.

Gene and Courtney have become friends since and play together with fellow 6th grader Alex and other Wagstaff students in episodes like "The Gene Mile" and "Roller? I Hardly Know Her!" and when Alex confesses to like-liking her, Gene seems to harbor no negative emotions or jealousy.
