Robert "Bob" William Duncan is the patriarch of the Duncan family. He is the husband of Amy Duncan and father of PJ, Teddy, Gabe, Charlie, and Toby. Bob owns a pest control company, Bob's Bugs Be Gone. He has also been ordained a minister online.

Personal life[]

When Amy goes back to work, she entrusted Bob and her kids to help take care of Charlie. But when Bob falls down the stairs and hurts his butt, PJ has to drive him to the hospital and Teddy has to take care of Charlie. In the hospital, PJ pretends to be a doctor so as not to be identified, but his disguise is ruined when his mom finds out. She says she can't handle it anymore, but Bob tells her that everything's gonna be okay ("Study Date").

Teddy tells her parents that they needed a break from baby Charlie, and that they should go out on a date. But then PJ takes Charlie to the park and accidentally swaps strollers with a girl named Emma, and brings home the wrong baby. They do everything they can to retrieve the baby, but in the end, they are caught by their parents and get grounded ("Baby Come Back"). He is the father of PJ, Teddy, Gabe, Charlie, and Toby. Amy and Bob's anniversary is coming, Teddy wants to give them the best day ever, but because of her sibling causes problems ("Butt Dialing Duncans"). She is very excited about this.

It's revealed in Double Whammy that when he was younger, he greatly resembled his son PJ, only to stop looking like him when he turned 25.

Bob used to be part of a band called the Bob Duncan Experience before he was kicked out. It is said that he got kicked out because of Amy always wanting attention.

Bob lost weight and got more in shape and muscular during the third season.

Appearance[]

Bob has always been a considerably tall man throughout the show. It was just hard to tell because of his overweight appearance in Season 1 and 2. He is 6'2 and bald. He can look intimidating because of his imposing height and his muscular appearance. He is tied with Mike from Alley Oops and Beau as the 5th tallest character to appear in the show, losing to Vern (6'3), Zack (6'3.5), Pa from Snow Show, Part One (6'4) and Teddy's theater companion she hires in Guys and Dolls (6'5).

16th birthday with her dad

Teddy Duncan[]

Teddy is Bob's oldest daughter. Bob is much stricter on her than PJ, but this is only because he knows she will one day be capable of great things. She is his only kid who knows his birthday. According to PJ, Teddy is Bob’s favorite child.

Gabe Duncan[]

Gabe is Bob's second son. They have a rocky relationship, mostly from how Gabe teases Bob about his weight and uses Bob. Bob usually says that Gabe is not his favorite son and he is not much loved like the others. Although, they still are close together as a family. Since Bob lost weight, Gabe can no longer tease Bob about his weight and decides to tease his father on baldness. But in season 4 you could call them family/close friends.

Charlie Duncan[]

Charlie was Bob's youngest child, until Bob and Amy's fifth child, Toby, was born. Bob often cares for her. He dropped her off the staircase when she was little, but she was not hurt.

She is the "little cutie" (Appy Days).
