Biography

Bob has difficulty showing his emotions for Helga since she and he always come into conflict with each other and clash. He often mistakenly calls Arnold "Alfred". He hates Arnold at once in "Parents Day" because he has no parents. He never listens to Helga and neglects and ignores her and is cruel and puts too much stress on Olga. His wife must have hatred towards him as she is depressed and mopes around all day because of his abuse. Bob is a selfish jerk and only thinks of himself and his business.

However, in the episode "Big Bob's Crisis", Big Bob appears to finally have redeemed himself after having a heart attack. Big Bob then promises himself and everyone else that he will try to be nicer to other people other than himself.

In Hey Arnold! The Movie, Big Bob is involved in the evil plans of Mr. Scheck until he learns that he'll get 51% ownership of his whole beeper company. He then proceeds to attack his partner, Nick Vermicelli. The fight resulted in him being covered in pickle juice and being knocked out by the refrigerator door.

Near the end, as Grandpa Phil, Ernie, Oskar, and Mr. Hyunh try to blow up the streets to stop the bulldozers, Big Bob tells them that their actions could result in them spending a while in jail, only to immediately follow up with his offer to help them.

In Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie, Big Bob was furious at Lasombra's henchman and river pirate named Che, chases him around the encampment and beats him up for breaking Olga’s heart.
