The thing about that stereotype is this:
We see the characters in their 30s or 40s, after they've had a couple of kids or so, and have spent a few years raising those kids.
Look at the flashbacks, and you might see that the fat slob was once half-decent.
It's like the old joke about how black women start out looking thin and pretty, but wind up being big like Flo (Good Times) or Gimme a Break. The reply to that is "it's because they have to put up with black men".
But yeah, real-life humans will pretty much fuck anything, which is why AIDS and syphilis are still around. I wonder if it ever occurred to people that the prudishness of the Victorian Age might have been a (seemingly delayed) reaction to all the syphilis that had been going around for the past few generations (200 years or so .. it would have taken time to spread, but by the 1800s seemed to have affected a lot of Europeans), and that it was no accident that the "Sexual Revolution" came about after the introduction of antibiotics/"wonder drugs". Which is why the idea of Jack the Ripper being a doctor makes absolute sense. He was going after the biggest vectors of syphilis in London.
Anyway, I think this is what is making Bob's Burgers likeable for me. With that couple, they're both kinda dumpy.
