Popular four-member boy band that Tina is desperate to see in concert in the "Boyz 4 Now" episode of animated television series Bob's Burgers (first aired 28 Apr. 2013). The episode title has the name spaced out, but in the episode it's written as all one word, Boyz4Now.

Younger sister Louise is disgusted at having to accompany her, but when Aunt Gayle can't take them, Louise takes pity on disappointed Tina and gets her to the show, only to fall under their spell herself. Her sudden crush on member Boo Boo leads them to stow away in their tour bus, where they discover Boo Boo has to ride in a childseat because he weighs less than 80 pounds.

A later episode ("The Hauntening," first aired 18 Oct. 2015) features a video for the band's "I Love U So Much (It's Scary)." In "Bye Bye Boo Boo" (first aired 8 May 2016), the band breaks up and Boo Boo goes solo. In “Just One of the Boyz4Now for Now” (first aired 30 Sept. 2018), they hold an audition for a new Boo Boo after their Three Is More Than Four album did not top the charts. Oddly enough, the “new Boo Boo’” ended up being the original Boo Boo, who rejoins the group at the end of the episode.
