* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Just like Fib was the personification of a lie, the Rumor Weed is this to rumors and gossip. The more the rumor gets spread around, the more the Rumor Weed keeps popping up all other the place, causing as much damage as the rumor itself.

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Like all Larry-Boy villains, the Bad Apple is the embodiment of temptation. In this case, she also represents the [[ForbiddenFruit forbidden fruit]] of the Garden of Eden, making her this to the Bibilcal temptation as well.

[[quoteright:237:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bob_8.jpg]]

%% * {{Flanderization}}: To a lesser degree than Larry, but he is noticeably more uptight and strict in ''[=Veggietales=] in the House''.

* LesserStar: Despite being a main character, he almost never gets a lead role or even appears in the main stories; and Larry always seems to outshine him in merchandise. Bob not appearing in the stories may suggest that he is the one ''telling'' the stories. He does appear in some of the stories - he plays Rack in "Rack, Shack and Benny".

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_thing_2.jpg]]

* {{Manchild}}: Ambiguously an adult, but has the mindset of a little kid. Larry is very naive and eccentric, and acts on very quirky impulses, best exhibited through his silly songs.

* VocalEvolution: His voice was much deeper in the first two videos, with a heavy lisp. The lisp disappeared after "Lyle the Kindly Viking".

[[quoteright:138:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/junior_asparagus01.jpg]]

* BadassAdorable: He's this in "Dave and the Giant Pickle" when he fights Goliath as Dave with a stone and sling.

* ButtMonkey: Some of the stories he stars in have him subject to bullying by the bigger people, and his height is likewise a subject of mockery. He's ostracized for his "pea-shaped" head in ''God Wants Me to Forgive Them'' by the Grape kids, and threatened merciless violence by the giant teenaged gourd in ''Minesota Cuke and the Search for Samson's Hairbush''.
* CannotTellFictionFromReality: The pilot episode ''Where's God When I'm Scared?'' has him deal with a fear of the monsters on TV and he has troubling sleeping that night out of fear that they'll scare him in his room. {{Defied|Trope}} when [[spoiler: Frankenstein actually turns out to be real and emerges from Junior's bedroom]], but Junior learns to overcome his phobia due to it just being a part of fiction that actors are obligated to perform.

* NiceGuy: A sweet CheerfulChild with not a single mean bone in his body -- except in ''Jonah'', where he engages in some WhosLaughingNow when Laura loses her backstage pass after taunting him with it; it becomes a vector for Junior learning about compassion and forgiveness.

* OnlySaneMan: On the rare occasion that Bob isn't playing this role, it's Junior. On the [=VeggieTales=] CD ''The Singing Christmas Tree'', he's the only one to realize that the 'tree' is structurally unsound and in danger of collapse.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In ''The Grapes of Wrath'', he was a hillbilly redneck, but he became an old, wise Yiddish guy later on.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Has shades of this, particularly in the outtakes for ''Jonah'', in which he states that his aunt was apparently a lobster. Even Larry calls him weird.

* ChildrenAreInnocent: Like most of the child characters on the show, she's an adorable little kid who always listens to her parents and is ingenuously naive.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She appeared in "Larry's Lagoon" and "The Story of Flibber-O-Loo", then disappeared for a while, then reappeared in ''Silly Sing-Along 2: The End of Silliness?!'', and then never appeared again. WordOfGod has confirmed that she made a cameo in ''Jonah''.

* TheQuietOne: He barely talks in the series. He first talks in The Hairbrush Song on Are You My Neighbour?. Again in The Toy That Saved Christmas. And again in "Merry Larry and the True Light of Christmas".

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: The reason she hasn't become a series regular is that [[NoFlowInCGI her hair was apparently too tricky to deal with.]]

A group [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin peas, who are French]].

--> '''Debut:''' ''[[Recap/VeggieTalesEpisode8LarryBoyAndTheFibFromOuterSpace Larry Boy! And The Fib From Outer Space]]''

The main antagonist of "Larry-Boy! And The Fib From Outer Space."

* BitchInSheepsClothing: He initially seems nice to Junior only for his true colors to shine through after he’s big enough to be carrying Junior around and cause destruction in the city.

* TheCorrupter: Over the course of ''Larry-Boy! And the Fib from Outer Space'' he convinces Junior to tell lies, and by the time Junior realizes his lies have been powering Fib, it's far too late to stop any damage from being done.

* KnightOfCerebus: Due to being one of the more manipulative villains on the show [[spoiler: and for trying to eat [[WouldHurtAChild Junior]] and [[HeroKiller Larry-Boy]] [[EatenAlive alive]].]]

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Is able to walk around town with Junior without anyone batting an eye. Larry Boy refers to him as "kid" at one point as if he was just another kid in town.

--> '''Debut:''' ''[[Recap/VeggieTalesEpisode12LarryBoyAndTheRumorWeed Larry Boy and the Rumor Weed]]''

The title antagonist of ''Larry Boy and the Rumor Weed''.

The title antagonist of ''Larry Boy and the Bad Apple''.

* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Averted later on, but on the original cover of ''The Toy that Saved Christmas'' when it was first released, he is so conspicuously absent that [[LampshadeHanging the rest of the cast seems to be aware something's missing from the picture.]]

* InsistentTerminology: In ''Pistachio'', he takes serious issue with constantly being called a cricket, insisting that he is a caterpillar (well, that is only half true.) At the end of the episode Pistachio sticks up for him.

* TookALevelInKindness: After Mr. Nezzer becomes incredibly upset over learning that [[spoiler: Edmund could very well die and his parents already know,]] Hope becomes a lot gentler and aside from one brief moment drops the snark entirely.

* AllInTheManual: According to Marc Vulcano, his name came about only during the show's production because the animators needed a reference point for his model.

Wise trees in ''The Lord of the Beans,'' whom the Fellowship of the Bean visit to ask what they should do with the Bean.

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Most obviously, Lord Falaminion Tereglith in particular takes after [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Treebeard.]] So, it's a bit surprising when he's revealed to be in cahoots with [[spoiler:Scaryman, the Saruman expy.]]

* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: Lord Falaminion Tereglith is wearing a beautiful necklace and Randalf comments on it. Apparently the ancient tree has an eye for beautiful things. [[spoiler: It was given as a bribe by Scaryman.]]

* [[spoiler:KarmaHoudini: They never get punished for betraying the heroes to Scaryman]]

* WiseTree: The reason Randalf decides to go and ask them for advice concerning the Bean. [[spoiler: Bad idea.]]

* NiceGuy: A sweet CheerfulChild with not a single mean bone in his body -- except in ''Jonah'', where he engages in some WhosLaughingNow when Annie loses her backstage pass after taunting him with it; it becomes a vector for Junior learning about compassion and forgiveness.

To drive the knife further, Fib tauntingly holds Junior out for his parents to see, when they inevitably look up anyway.

To drive the knife further, Fib tauntingly holds Junior out for his parents to see, when they inevitably look up anyway. Considering what he tries next, it's very likely Junior's parents would've been forced to watch Fib eat their son alive without remorse.
