==History==
Bobby became a hunter after he had to kill his wife [[Karen Singer]] when she was possessed by a demon. His guilt over this causes her to inhabit his dreams. <sup>[[3.10 Dream a Little Dream of Me]]</sup> Later she returns as a [[zombie]] and he has to kill her again.<sup>[[5.15 Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid]]</sup>
<blockquote>
'''Trivia:''' The name 'Bobby Singer' is a reference to Supernatural's executive producer, [[Robert Singer]]. See him talk about how the naming came about [http://www.imdbindianas4.com/namevideobeta/nm1319483/ Elizabeth Marleau?watchId=08c4c79b-3bdb-4efe-b22d-69ec3e9e7a5f here] who played Karen in [[3.10 Dream a Little Dream </blockquote> Bobby has extensive knowledge of Me]] was unable to reprise the role for [[5.15 Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid]] as she was very obviously pregnant at the timesupernatural, and the production team thought a "pregnant zombie wife...would have been more than the episode could handle"<sup>is well-known and generally well-regarded by other [[S5ComHunters]]</sup></blockquote>.
Bobby has known the Winchesters since at least 1991. <sup>[[3.08 A Very Supernatural Christmas]]</sup>. According to [[Jo's Journal]], Bobby frequented the [[Roadhouse]] around 1993. [[John Winchester]] and Bobby were not necessarily on good terms - Dean comments that the last time Bobby saw John he nearly "filled him with buckshot".<sup>[[1.22 Devil's Trap]]</sup>
Bobby gets people to drink holy water to test whether they are possessed - he first does this to Dean when he and Sam are trying to find where [[Meg]] is holding their father <sup>[[1.22 Devil's trap]]</sup>He gives Sam beer laced with it when Sam is possessed<sup>[[2.14 Born Under a Bad Sign]]</sup> and Ellen has to drink a holy water shot after she escapes the demon attack on the [[Roadhouse]].<sup>[[2.22 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part Two]]</sup>. When Dean returns from the dead in [[4.01 Lazarus Rising]], Bobby throws holy water in his face, even though Dean has cut himself with a silver blade to show he is human.
Bobby speaks Japanese and has visited Japan. <sup>[[4.06 Yellow Fever]] [[6.04 Weekend At Bobby's]]</sup>
Bobby is often seen with a Colt Single Action Army revolver, presumably chambered in the .45 Colt caliber.
In 2009, Bobby is paralyzed from the waist down after stabbing himself with [[Ruby's Knife]] to overcome his own demonic possession when [[Meg]] orders him to kill [[Dean]].
Bobby sells his [[soul]] to [[Crowley]] in exchange for information on [[Pestilence]]'s location . Crowley also makes it possible for Bobby to walk again. He says that he will return Bobby's soul after Lucifer is defeated, but in reality Bobby was given the standard ten years to live until his soul is dragged to hell. Bobby is able to trick Crowley and negotiate the return of his [[soul]].

==[[1.22 Devil's Trap]]==
After Dean invokes [[Veritas]]' curse, he calls Bobby to test it, and Bobby is compelled to tell Dean a few interesting truths.
Dean hangs up when Bobby starts discussing his first girlfriend, who "turned out to be a-"
The two [[hunters]] stalk each other through the house. Bobby hides in his hall closet and Sam attacks the door with an axe. Cornered, Bobby triggers a trap door beneath Sam, who crashes into the basement below. Bobby and Sam talk through the locked door.
Sam manages to break out while Bobby is speaking. Bobby follows a trail of blood in search of Sam, but Sam comes up behind him and incapacitates Bobby with a whack to the head. Bobby awakes tied to a chair above spell glyphs painted on the floor. Sam holds a large knife and raises it to kill Bobby, but Dean reappears and attacks Sam, saving Bobby.
