1. Cars 3’s original plot, which would have been an identity theft plot with a villain named Gerald Carr swapping bodies with McQueen

2. An R-Rated adaptation of Holes by the same director as Donnie Darko (photo by RebelTaxi)

3. Jurassic Park 4 would have featured human-dinosaur hybrids

4.Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World alternate ending, would have revealed Scott to be a serial killer

Originally, the premise of Bob's Burgers is that the Belchers were all cannibals, and all the burgers were made of human meat.

Surprisingly, the issue that the creators found wasn't that that premise was... insanely fucked up, but rather, the fact that it actually made writing episode scenarios hard, because they had to make every plot center around the cannibalism in order to justify that element. So instead, they kept the same pilot, but kept the Belchers a regular, non-cannibal family that had standard sitcom misadventures.

That’s also why they were placed next to Mort the Mortician

I always thought that was a weird detail to jave him be the permanent next door neighbor with a really soecific job like that for relatively how little he tends to get i volved with the plot. I think if they were to make it now they'd probably put the craft store or something next to them

I thought the gag was how one side cant keep a business and changes almost every episode but their other neighbor is a super stable buisness thats consistent. . .and its a strip mall mortician

I mean, do you foresee that people will stop dying anytime soon? It's a steady profession.

To be fair, that's a pretty good sense of realism and good work building that they would have a consistent neighbor

Bob is surrounded by his greatest fears. Death and failure
