4While ostensibly a children's cartoon teaching Christian values, the series is also one of the funniest ever made, with its self-awareness and arsenal of pop culture references that make the series enjoyable for adults, too.
5----
6* ''Where's God when I'm S-s-Scared?"
7** When Larry and Bob arrive in Junior's room during the first short, Larry opens with this famous part to get the obvious stuff out of the way about the show's heritage:
8--->'''Larry''': Fear not! For behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy. For unto you...\
9'''Bob''': ''[glaring, clears throat]'' Wrong story, Larry.
10** The water buffalo, and Archibald becoming SoapboxSadie.
11---> '''Archibald:''' Stop it! Stop! Stop right this instant, what do you think you're doing!? You can't say everyone's got a water buffalo when everyone does ''not'' have a water buffalo. We're going to get nasty letters saying, "Where's ''my'' water buffalo? Why don't ''I'' have a water buffalo?" And are you prepared to deal with that? I don't think so! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis So stop. Being. So. SILLY!]]
12** And then at the end of the song, when Larry begins singing "[[HereWeGoAgain Everybody's got a baby kangaroo...]]", [[RageBreakingPoint Archibald yells and runs into the scene, tackling Larry]].
13** "[[BreakingTheFourthWall Did you]] [[DoubleTake say]] ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSf0iRCxKUQ trouble?]]''" And the [[{{Slapstick}} scene]] with the head scallion immediately afterwards.
14** At the end of the episode, Bob asks if QWERTY has a verse, and pulls up...
15--->'''Bob''': "One pound ground beef, three slices of br--" ''(slightly annoyed)'' QWERTY, this is a recipe for meatloaf! That's not a verse! ''(to camera)'' Sorry about that...
16* ''The Toy that Saved Christmas'':
17** One of Buzz-Saw Louie's many catchphrases is "Billy has more toys than you!", leading to this exchange when all the kids go to beg their parents for Buzz-Saw Louie dolls:
18--->'''Percy Pea''': Billy has more toys than me!\
19'''Dad Pea''': ''[visibly confused]'' Who's Billy?\
20'''Percy''': I don't know, but he has more toys than me!
21** Also, after Bob, Larry, and Junior crash their sled into the snow. Bob is stuck in the snow ''upside down.''
22--->'''Bob''': Mousetrap.\
23'''Larry''': What?\
24'''Bob''': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTPAAgfEBiM I wanted to play Mousetrap. You roll your dice. You move your mice. Nobody gets hurt.]]
25** This later gets a {{Shoutout}} in "The Story of St. Nicholas" where, after a wild chase scene involving [[ItMakesSenseInContext the origin of Santa's sleigh]], Nicholas expresses thankfulness for the snow, wished into existence by Larry. When Larry remarks on this to Bob, who's in the same position as the above scene, the latter mutters "You roll your dice, you move your mice. Nobody gets hurt."
26** This gem right here after Buzzsaw Louie manages to cut the ropes that were tying him and the others in the climax.
27--->'''Buzzsaw Louie''': OK, everybody who's got hands, start tying!\
28'''Bob, Larry, and Junior''': *beat*\
29'''Buzzsaw Louie''': That'd be me.
30** Also, during the Christmas Spectacular, Larry breaks the news to Bob:
31--->'''Larry''': It's about the film, Bob.\
32'''Bob''': ''[Cautiously]'' ...What about the film, Larry?\
33'''Larry''': ...I can't find it.\
34'''Bob''': ...What did you say?\
35'''Larry''': The film. I can't find it. I looked everywhere! It's just...gone!\
36'''Bob''': ...Larry?\
37'''Larry''': ...Yeah, Bob?\
38'''Bob''': ...''This is network television.''\
39'''Larry''': I know. ''[Smiles stupidly at the camera]''\
40'''Bob''': ''[Exasperated]'' '''[[BitingTheHandHumor DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS TO GET A NETWORK TO TURN OVER AN HOUR OF AIR TIME TO A BUNCH OF VEGETABLES]]!?'''\
41'''Larry''': Uh... Pretty hard?\
42'''Bob''': ''[[[{{Angrish}} Voice-crack-y, exasperated screech that vaguely resembles a "yeah"]]]''\
43'''Pa Grape''': Hey, what's going on? Why aren't we running the film?\
44'''Bob''': ''[Makes the same sound]''
45*** Even better. Bob states that the network gave them an hour of air time, but the film they were scheduled to show was ''The Toy that Saved Christmas'', which is only approximately a half-hour long. So, even if Larry had found the film on time, they would still have had to pad out time for another half-hour.
46** Then there's the ending.
47--->'''Pa Grape''': Great news everybody, I've got the network on the phone. They say they love the film!\
48'''Bob & Larry''': (Cheering)\
49'''Pa Grape''': They say, they especially liked the part where [[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer that funny little elf pulled all of the teeth out of the...outta the what? The Abdominable Snowman so Rudolph and his friends could...get...back...home.]]\
50('''beat''')\
51'''Bob''': What channel were they watching? You mean they missed the whole thing?!\
52'''Pa Grape''': Ahhh. Maybe it's better that way.
53* "The Bunny Song" has a hilarious follow up. Big Idea received several letters from parents who were embarrassed by their kids gleefully belting out the negative lyrics to the song, prompting a rewrite to less offensive lyrics...which prompted lots of fans [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks complaining that they liked the original]]. The staff has since basically shrugged and commented that they can't please everyone. [[SpoofAesop One of them even said that they learned "You can write songs with negative messages; you just can't make them catchy"]].
54* The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything:
55--->'''Mr. Lunt:''' I think you look like Cap'n Crunch.[[note]]Pa Grape is wearing an ''exact'' replica of Cap'n Crunch's hat, except it has a skull painted on it.[[/note]]\
56'''Pa Grape:''' Huh? No, I don't!\
57'''Mr. Lunt:''' Do too.\
58'''Pa Grape:''' Do not!\
59'''Mr. Lunt:''' You're making me hungry.\
60'''Pa Grape:''' That's it! [[DisproportionateRetribution You're walking the plank]]!\
61'''Mr. Lunt:''' Says who?\
62'''Pa Grape:''' Says the captain, THAT'S who!\
63'''Mr. Lunt:''' Oh yeah? Aye Aye, Cap'n Crunch! Hee hee hee hee!\
64'''Pa Grape:''' '''''AAARGH!''''' ''*starts chasing Mr. Lunt*''\
65'''Mr. Lunt:''' '''YIKES!'''
66** Larry's verse. All of it. Not only does it have nothing to do with pirates, (which Pa Grape and Mr. Lunt point out afterward,) it makes so little sense that it's just hilarious.
67--->''Well, I've never plucked a rooster\
68And I'm not too good at ping-pong\
69And I've never thrown my mashed potatoes\
70Up against a wall\
71And I've never kissed a chipmunk\
72And I've never gotten head lice\
73And I've never been to Boston in the Fall.''
74** Also worth noting is his second verse, which also has nothing to do with pirates and makes even less sense.
75--->''And I've never licked a spark plug\
76And I've never sniffed a stink bug\
77And I've never painted daisies\
78On a big red rubber ball\
79And I've never bathed in yogurt\
80And I don't look good in leggings...''
81*** Followed immediately by Pa Grape's response:
82---->'''Pa Grape:''' You just don't get it.
83* The Silly Song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpcf_qD3GW4 "Endangered Love"]]. [[RebusBubble Larry + Manatee plushie = Pure hilarity.]]
84** What really sold it was Bob's reaction. "Maybe you should read a book..."
85** "But now I must go into the world and do noble things for the good of all! And you can't come because you don't speak French."
86* The lampshading of the lack of appendages in ''Dr. Jiggle and Mr. Sly''.
87--> "'''THE FEET!'''"
88* ''Esther...The Girl Who Became Queen'': "The punishment should be...[[CoolandUnusualPunishment banishment to The Island of Perpetual Tickling]]!"
89** Also the [[DreadfulMusician "Lost Puppies"]] song.
90-->'''Miss Achmetha''': Arf!
91*** And Xerxes and Haman's reactions after the song.
92-->'''King Xerxes:''' What am I gonna do with all those dogs?
93** After a failed assassination attempt:
94--> '''King Xerxes:''' "[[NightmareRetardant Why is there a]] ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint piano]]'' [[ItMakesSenseInContext on my cake?]]"
95* "His Cheeseburger." It's a love song about a cheeseburger. As you may expect from the series, it is nothing less than a barrel of laughs. [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants It's also not the only love story between a guy and a cheeseburger]].
96-->'''Archibald:''' I thought you were going to sing about growing up in Connecticut!\
97'''Announcer:''' This has been "Love Songs With Mr. Lunt". Tune in next when Mr. Lunt says...\
98'''Mr. Lunt:''' I grew up in New Jersey.
99* In ''Madame Blueberry'', when Bob and Larry are hysterically crying over the outcome of the story:
100-->'''Larry:''' Hold me, Bob.\
101'''Bob:''' I would if I could, man!
102* ''Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed'', [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] the show's cast of plants:
103-->'''Laura''': You're a ''talking weed!''\
104'''Rumor Weed''': I'm a talking weed, you're a talking carrot. Your point was?\
105''*Laura and Jr. give each other a look*''
106** Not to mention the ''[[https://i.imgur.com/LWXkRBe.png design]]'' of the Rumor Weed itself.
107** Following the above line, Junior says they have a theory about Alfred, but can't say anymore than that.
108--->'''Rumor Weed''': Listen, sprout, did your parents ever teach you to share?\
109'''Junior''': Well, yes, but--\
110'''Rumor Weed''': Then share with me! I'm a good friend of [[AccidentalMisnaming Albert's]]!\
111'''Laura''': Alfred.\
112'''Rumor Weed''': [[VerbalBackspace Alfred]].
113*** The music that plays during this conversation almost reacts to the weed's comments.
114* In the song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enHMk2JiW9o "Donuts for Benny,"]] when said dog eats too many donuts, he begins singing and tossing Mr. Lunt around!
115--> "Waltz me around again, baby,\
116Around, around, around!\
117These donuts are dreamy, their filling is creamy,\
118Oh, don't let my feet touch the ground!\
119I feel like a ship on an ocean of joy!\
120I just want to holler out loud, 'Ship ahoy!'\
121Waltz me around again, baby!\
122Around, around, around!"
123* The various ways Bob tries to avoid listening to the "What We Have Learned Today" song, only to fail every time. In fact the closest he ever came was cutting Larry off in "Rack, Shack, and Benny" when he was in the sink:
124--> '''Larry:''' (singing) You see we know that God's word is for everyone, and now that our song is done, we'll take a- ''*Bob turns on the sink*'' HEY! That's cold!
125** The best part is the evil smile on Bob's face right before he turns the sink on.
126* All of Paco the Storytelling Mule's stories. '''''All of them.'''''
127* Larry's part of the theme song:
128-->Cauliflower!\
129Sweet and sour!\
130[[RhymesOnADime Half an hour!]]
131* The Silly Song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--szrOHtR6U "Monkey"]].
132-->'''Larry:''' [[InsaneTrollLogic If it's a nickel or a salad or a pillow, if it doesn't have a tail it's not a monkey, it's an ape!]]
133** When they finally find what they're looking for: A cow.
134-->'''Larry''': It's a monkey!\
135'''Bob''': Larry, that's a cow.\
136'''Captions''': NOT A MONKEY
137** On the commentary, they reveal that the song was written based on the writer's experience of hearing the statement "If it's got a tail, it's a monkey; if it doesn't have a tail, it's an ape." and having his mind go to all the ways this could be taken wrong.
138* Mr. Lunt being forced into playing Ophelia. "I think we're going to get letters about this." [[{{Irony}} And the Big Idea crew never got a single letter.]]
139* When the house is about to break under its weight in "Madame Blueberry", Bob and the title character both grab motorized shopping carts to race back. Larry hops into a small basket and makes very slow sliding movements. The FlatWhat look on one of the poor family's faces is simply priceless. Larry gives a small hello to the family, and Annie simply says "Hey."
140** From the same scene, Bob wonders out loud if his cart can go any faster. He notices a red button and pushes it, tilting back expecting turbo speed... until it turns out it just prints a pizza coupon. His reaction is probably the greatest AsideGlance ever.
141** Speaking of "Madame Blueberry", the Stuff-Mart song. A minute straight of salesmen trying to sell everything from 20 gallon woks to air compressors to bungee-jumping equipment. A highlight:
142-->'''Scallion #1:''' A rhododendron tree?
143-->'''Scallions #2 and 3:''' We got three!
144-->'''Scallion #1:''' [[TrrrillingRrrs A wrrrap around deck?!]]
145-->'''Scallions #2 and 3:''' ''[suddenly unsure]'' Gotta check!
146-->'''Scallion #1:''' (''frowns'')
147* ''Oh, Santa.''
148** Particularly, how Larry lets a Viking and a bank robber into his house but slams the door on an IRS agent. The look he gives [[AsideGlance the camera]] after that makes it even better.
149** Then, just as the song is wrapping up, the agent enters through the open door, asks if Larry 'claimed' the last remaining cookie... and snatches it away.
150** "Oh Santa" was inspired by a song from the opera "Kiss of the Spider Woman". The crew finds this hysterical.
151* Heck, every Silly Song in general.
152** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQNBVsLR5F0 "Gated Community."]] The people in the Gated Community spend the whole song singing about how great their community is and [[FailedASpotCheck not noticing Larry's ball]] as he attempts to get it back.
153** And most of the things we should tune in next time to hear.
154** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9KqphtT5fs "Larry's High Silk Hat"]]:
155*** Larry's reaction to his hat being squashed.
156----> '''Larry:'''[[ItMakesSenseInContext A great big squash just sat upon my hat!]]
157*** After everyone leaves, a Park Cleaner (played by Scallion #1) shows up next to Larry:
158---->'''Larry:''' (attempting to finish the song) Oh golly...! (talks normally) Uh...what's your name?\
159'''Scallion #1:''' They've never given me a name. [[RageAgainstTheAuthor I've been around since show 1 and I still don't have a name!]]\
160{{Beat}}\
161'''Larry:''' Now what do you think of that?\
162(SmashCut to black)
163** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUkpE16b56g "The Yodeling Veterinarian of the Alps,"]] most prominently Larry tries to soothe an injured bear by ''yodeling'' at it. It goes about as well as you would think.
164** "My Baby Elf":
165*** After Larry-as-Earacorn has spent the entire song being ElvishPresley, Jimmy-as-Legolamb arrives to yank off his fake PointedEars and chew him out for being an "elvish impersonator". Larry irritably points out that Jimmy has no room to criticize, given that his bow doesn't make him a real elf either.
166*** During the "tune in next time" segment, Jimmy arrives to shoot him in the pompadour. Larry tells him not to point the bow at him and then runs offscreen with a rubber arrow stuck to his nose, calling for help.
167** The ending of "Lance the Turtle." Bob, who has been pressed into doing an ukelele karaoke for the Silly Song segment, accidentally runs the lyrics through a fan and panics as he tries to keep up with the [[DeterioratesIntoGibberish increasingly nonsensical]] taped-together version -- and given that the French Peas start singing some equally nonsensical lyrics immediately after Bob gives up, it's possible the version Bob thought was wrongly reassembled was the real version the entire time.
168--->'''Bob''': [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere I'll be in my dressing room...]]
169* Jimmy and Jerry Gourd trying to host the show in "King George and the Ducky" while dressed as Bob and Larry is hilarious in itself and leads into many other hilarious moments:
170** Things go awry early while they're reading the letter.
171-->'''Jimmy:''' Look, Jerry, er, Larry! In the letter we got from Jimmy who lives near Texas somewhere, he said that his friend Jerry was selfish! That's what it said, remember?\
172'''Jerry:''' ''[Now angry, as his Larry mask falls off]'' YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?!?\
173'''Jimmy:''' Hey! Whoa! Aw, man! You're the one that said 'Jerry'! I was gonna-\
174'''Bob:''' Hey! What's going on in there?!?\
175''[[[OhCrap Jimmy and Jerry become afraid when they hear Bob's voice]], while Jerry worriedly looks around before putting his mask back on, upside-down.]''\
176'''Larry:''' Yeah! What are you guys doing?!?\
177'''Jimmy:''' Uh, hi! I'm Bob the Tomato!\
178'''Jerry:''' And I'm not selfish!
179** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMXd953E8fc "The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill And Came Down With All the Bananas"]]. The whole thing, but the ending in particular. After the Englishman and the Swede refusing to share with each other leads to an awkward silence, the silence is finally broken by one of the inhabitants of one of the hills:
180-->'''Philippe:''' [[TooDumbToLive You guys are]] ''[[LampshadeHanging not so bright!]]''
181** It gets even better afterwards when they try ''working a lesson'' into it. They can't even figure out how to turn Qwerty on, and start ''using keyboard combinations'' in a vain attempt to power it on. They finally just give up and hold up a piece of cardboard that has "''Don't Be Selfish''" written on it.
182** There's also Bob's reaction when he chews out Jimmy and Jerry, mainly for matching how the audience likely felt toward the story.
183--->'''Bob:''' You can't end a show like that, it's way too short! The story was kind of... well... I don't know...QWERTY's off! There's not even a verse. No, no! This is all wrong! We've gotta do it again!
184* ''The Ultimate Silly Song Countdown'':
185** The countdown machine breaks down, and Pa Grape tells Larry and Mr. Lunt to make up a song to stall for time while he tries to fix it. They decide to make a song out of a ''Chinese takeout menu.'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVUfcVjYXS8 The result must be seen to be believed.]]
186** The "fortune cookie" at the end:
187--->'''Larry''' ''[reading]'': "Beware of grape with wooden mallet."
188** Towards the end, after Pa Grape is caught trying to add fake votes for "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" ([[SecondPlaceIsForLosers so he could have first place instead of second]]), we get this from Mr. Lunt:
189--->'''Mr. Lunt''': You have disgraced the proud title of 'pirate'! ''[Quietly]'' [[LampshadeHanging Oh wait. Maybe not.]]
190* "The Forgive-o-Matic". Especially the end, where the scallion proceeds to try and sell a ''Chia'' Forgive-o-Matic.
191* In ''The Star Of Christmas'', Cavis (Bob) elatedly explains to Millward (Larry) that, "in this modern age", it's important to give audiences what they've never seen before:
192--> '''Millward:''' ''(Elated gasp)'' You got a ''monkey'' that can ''yodel''!?\
193'''Cavis:''' ''[[DisapprovingLook No,]]'' [[DisapprovingLook Millward...]]
194* The endless parade of gags in the climax of ''The Star Of Christmas'':
195** "Look! We're bankers!"
196** Later:
197---> '''Millward:''' ''(As he makes a turn)'' Hey! I think I know a short cut! ''(As they go off-screen)'' Through the Crystal Palace!\
198'''Everyone else:''' ''(Off-screen)'' ''MILLWARD!''\
199'''Millward:''' ''(Off-screen)'' Never mind...
200** That gag is even funnier if seen from the script maker's point of view: When everyone was reviewing the script, a page ended right after Millward's first line in that gag, making everyone think they ''were'' going to crash through the Crystal Palace, scaring the Big Idea crew ([[labelnote:Explaination]][[RebusBubble Non-]]''Creator/DreamWorksAnimation'' [[RebusBubble 3D software + Thousands of tiny glass shards =]] '''[[ComicBook/ALittleSomethingSpecial !!!!!]]'''[[/labelnote]]). It was so notable that it was brought up again in the ''King George and the Ducky'' DVD commentary.
201* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6CS0WKe9h8 The VeggieTown Greetings from Bob and Larry.]] Highlights include:
202** The [=VeggieTown=] Theme Song.
203** In Greeting 5, the following exchange is made:
204---> '''Bob:''' Welcome to [=VeggieTown=]! I'm Bob the Tomato,
205---> '''Larry:''' And I'm Larry the Cucumber! I'm ''running for president''!
206---> '''Bob:''' You can't run for president!
207---> '''Larry:''' ''Why not?''
208---> '''Bob:''' Well, y-you're a cucumber!
209---> '''Larry:''' So? Jimmy Carter was a peanut.
210---> '''Bob:''' ''He was not a peanut!'' He was a peanut '''farmer'''!
211---> '''Larry:''' Oh.
212---> '''Bob:''' Besides, you can't run for president with a shoe on your head!
213---> '''Larry:''' [[{{Pun}} It's a running shoe!]]
214---> '''Bob:''' *[[AsideGlance Looks at camera]] [[LamePunReaction unamused]]*
215** Larry's Campaign song, and the dialogue that comes after that.
216---> '''Larry:''' *singing* Vote for me! Vote for me! [[BrokenRecord Vote for me vote for me vote for me]]-
217---> '''Bob:''' Eeeh, that's not very catchy, Larry. Besides, you have to tell people ''why'' they should vote for you.
218---> '''Larry:''' No problem! How's this? *singing* Vote for me! Or you'll be sorry! Cause I'll put mustard in your oatmeal [[MotorMouth andmakenoiseslikeasickcatwhile]] you're trying to sleep!
219---> '''Bob:''' ''Forget the song'', Larry. What's your platform?
220---> '''Larry:''' My what?
221---> '''Bob:''' Where do you stand?
222---> '''Larry:''' *Looks at the floor beneath him* [[LiteralMinded Right here, I guess.]]
223---> '''Bob:''' No, where do you stand on the ''issues?''
224---> '''Larry:''' ...[[LiteralMinded But if I stand on them, won't they get squished?]] And nobody likes [[{{Pun}} a squishy issue,]] Bob.
225** Larry's Badge.
226---> '''Larry:''' I probably should pin it on my shirt except for I'm not wearing a shirt. I guess I could put it on my- '''OW!!!''' Forget that.
227* Charlie Pincher's cameos in ''The Ballad of Little Joe''. All [[RuleOfThree three]] times, he is shown on a mountainside overlooking Dodgeball City as someone/some veggies are yelling/being very loud. We hear an echo of the yell, which causes a [[ButtMonkey cascade of dodgeballs to fall on him]], trashing everything he set up. Even funnier? The last time, the hot dog he was cooking ''somehow still stands!''
228* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-2m0Gj3wmM "The Blues with Larry"]]:
229** Blind Lemon Lincoln tries to get always-cheerful Larry to sing the Blues properly. It's a losing battle.
230** Lincoln [[ItMakesSenseInContext takes away Larry's cookie, which he pulled out after Lincoln took his ice cream]]:
231--> '''Lincoln:''' My sweet creamy ice cream, '''I DON'T CARE ABOUT NO COOOKIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!''' ''[[KickTheDog *smashes Larry's cookie with guitar several times*]]'' Now try it again.
232* When bit-character [[InteractiveNarrator Lutfi, "The teensy-weensy cucumber"]][[note]] (who is implied to be (And, in a later episode, is indeed) a sock puppet made by Khalil) [[/note]] tells the story of Maewynn Succat, who would later become St. Patrick, we get this gem:
233--> '''Lutfi:''' Maewynn grew up as a normal little boy. He went to school, he played, he went to church. And, he was [[BreadMilkEggsSquick captured by pirates]].
234--> '''Maewynn Succat:''' Wait. [[LampshadeHanging That's not normal!]]
235--> '''Lutfi:''' If you were ''too'' normal, you would not have a holiday named after you!
236--> '''Maewynn Succat:''' Good point.
237** Maewyn is also not enthusiastic about his birth name or the rename to Pigboy. The latter prompts a comment about how "Maewyn Succat has a rather nice ring to it."
238* In the opening countertop segment for ''Noah's Ark'', Bob and Larry lampshade the redesigns they've been given (they're the same designs as the base-breaking ''[=VeggieTales=] in the House'' series). Larry then says they have to address the elephant in the room, as if to outright say they have new designs... only to actually address a ''real elephant''.
239* Toward the end of "Dance of the Cucumber", after Bob gets sick of Larry making fun of him for being unable to sing, he gets mad and starts chasing after Larry, saying, "Alright, that's it, seƱor! Come over here and let me sing ''you'' a song!"
240** This song is tied to 2 RealLife funny moments. The first involves the inspiration for the song's creation; Phil Vischer's wife would always playfully mock him whenever she had to translate Spanish music for him so he eventually wrote the song with that in mind. The second involved a discussion about how hard this song was to translate into other languages with the Spanish edition being sung ''backwards'' with Bob and Larry swapping languages.
241* In "Sumo of the Opera," during the song right after Scallion (Larry) accepts a challenge from Apollo Gourd, the choir mentions that "a good doctor he'll need." The blink-and-you-miss-it look of [[DoubleTake "Wait, a WHAT?"]] on Scallion's face is priceless.
242* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKVsaSeWVNw The Hopperena.]]
243** "Should I just eat a bon-bon and go back to bed?"
244** Especially once [[NotSoAboveItAll Archibald enjoys the Hopperena]].
245---> '''Jean Claude:''' ''I am embarrassed for you.''
246* The [=VeggieTales=] version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eROp9-U5I9w On Top Of Old Smokey]] has the characters making hilarious comments after each verse of the song.
247** "[[BreakingTheFourthWall Can we just fast forward to the next song please? Push the button!]]"
248* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKHRECOlirY Elloit's 'Afraid Of' list]], especially when it's revealed that Elliot is afraid of Buzzsaw Louie!
249--> Banana crepes,
250--> Seedless grapes,
251--> [[TakeThat Tim Burton's]] [[Film/PlanetOfTheApes2001 version of the apes!]]
252* ''Lyle, the Kindly Viking'': During the "Look, Olaf!" song, when Otar and Sven are trying to distract Olaf so he doesn't see Lyle at the monastery, Otar keeps trying to get Olaf to look at random things in the ocean that [[BlatantLies aren't actually there.]] Funny enough when he does it, but then when he explains what he's doing to Sven and asks for help, his verse is...well...
253--> '''Sven:''' Look, Olaf, there's a turtle, and he's wearing pink pajamas and he's got a cowboy hat upon his lid! Look Olaf, very close and see he's riding on a llama, and he's chasing down that herd of giant squid!
254** What really sells it is when we cut back to Otar rolling his eyes at Sven's completely nonsensical and blatantly unrealistic descriptions.
255** Sven even says early on he doesn't even '''see''' any of what Otar's telling him, rendering the song entirely pointless.
256** The episode ends with Sven singing "I NEED TO GO TO THE BATH-ROOOM!" and Otar telling him he can stop singing because the episode is over.
257* This short, but sweet dialogue in [[Recap/VeggieTalesEpisode8LarryBoyAndTheFibFromOuterSpace ''LarryBoy and the Fib from Outer Space'']]:
258--> '''Laura:''' [[FlatWhat [Larryboy's] honking.]]
259--> '''Percy:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint It's part of the plan!]]
260* The TV Series, despite its ExecutiveMeddling, also has quite a few funny moments:
261** The RunningGag of Jimmy trying to stuff the mail through the mail slot.
262*** In one episode, [[SubvertedTrope the mail is instead flung right into Larry, Jimmy saying it's a busy day.]] Larry also got hit with a package after the mail was stuffed through in another episode.
263---> '''Larry:''' [[LampshadeHanging At least he didn't try to stuff it in the mail slot this time.]]
264** Another episode has Mr. Lunt as a messenger. The dialogue is as follows:
265---> '''Larry[[note]]Who is outside of the house as to get his wireless computer working[[/note]]:''' [The letter for today is] From Olivia, from New Mexico!
266---> '''Mr. Lunt:''' [[CaptainObvious He says it's from Olivia from New Mexico.]] Over.
267---> '''Larry:''' She says she was sneaking a cookie and accidentally broke her grandma's cookie jar, then she told a lie because she was afraid she'd get in trouble.
268---> '''Mr. Lunt:''' Tell Olivia to pack up and leave the country. There's no use in coming back to Grandma's. Ever.
269--->'''Bob:''' ''[obviously shocked]'': [[BigWhat What!?]]
270---> '''Mr. Lunt:''' Uh.... the views expressed by the messenger are not necessarily the opinions held by the letter writer.
271---> '''Bob:''' What exactly did Olivia say?
272---> '''Mr. Lunt:''' She lied so she wouldn't get in trouble for breaking a cookie jar.
273** In another episode, Mr. Lunt was telling a story about a squirrel using paper, sticks, and tape. It went as well as you'd expect.
274---> '''Mr. Lunt:''' This isn't going so well. Wait while I get more tape.
275** "Donuts and You", one of Pa Grape's movies, says that people have to share donuts because of Johnny Donutseed, who planted donuts everywhere, causing farmers to do the same. The narrator then goes on to tell us that airplanes and the Eiffel Tower were made from donuts.
276*** Another Pa Grape movie, "Big Like Me", has a man telling the audience that corn makes you grow big and strong. A video then shows us that at his senior prom, he was a monkey in a tuxedo. He concludes by saying that [[InsaneTrollLogic he wound up being 15 feet tall and weighing 12,000 pounds because he ate a lot of corn.]]
277** In "Esther, The Girl Who Became Queen", Larry reacts to the mail song with "You should hear the song our plumber sings!"
278* The silly-song ''Love my Lips'' has Larry visiting Archibald, who is a psychiatrist, to talk about his feelings. The entire song is just [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Larry being Larry]] and talking about his love for his lips for no reason, but Archibald ends up looking like he just watched ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''.
279-->'''Archibald:''' I'm confused.
280** Special mention goes to Larry's hilariously bonkers anecdote about getting his lips stuck in a gate and being sent to "lip rehab".
281--->"Usta!"
282** The episode where that silly-song comes from, ''Dave and the Giant Pickle,'' has some great BlackComedy. At one point, Dave is trying to sell Saul on the idea of him going to fight Goliath and...
283--->'''Saul:''' You're not going to sing, are you?
284--->'''Dave:''' ''nods his head''
285--->'''Saul:''' [[BlackComedy Couldn't you just play your harp and I throw things at you?]]
286* The opening wraparound for ''Very Silly Songs'' [[HilarityEnsues goes completely off the rails]] with Larry (who thought they were recording the very first ''[=VeggieTales=]'' workout video) stuck uncontrollably bouncing on a trampoline and Bob's and everyone else's words continuing to appear on the screen after Bob demonstrates FollowTheBouncingBall due to the French Peas unable to stop typing the words on Qwerty after they've started.
287-->''[[WesternAnimation/TheJetsons JANE! STOP ZIS CRAZY THING!!]]''
288** In the second wrap around, Larry now believes that they are making the first ''[=VeggieTales=]'' home improvement video and goes to fix the leaky sink:
289--->'''Larry''': By the way, it's very important with any plumbing job to shut off the water supply, so I had my assistant Jimmy turn off the water to the kitchen.\
290(''as Larry starts to unhook the faucet with a wrench...'')\
291'''Jimmy''': Oh, you meant the kitchen sink?\
292(''The kitchen faucet comes loose; Larry [[OhCrap looks up at the screen for a second]] as the kitchen sink rumbles and erupts like a volcano beneath him.'')\
293'''Jimmy''': I thought this was bathrooms and decks.\
294'''Larry''': '''BOB!!!'''
295** And then the third and final wraparound has Larry welcoming viewers to the very first [=VeggieTales=] success video. It's only ''then'' (before the final song on the video, no less!) does Larry finally catch on that this is a sing-along video. Since by this point Bob has basically just completely given up, he walks off, with this one last hilarious exchange taking place:
296---> '''Larry''': Hey, Bob! Guess what? I bought a whole chocolate factory with no money down!
297---> '''Bob''': You did ''what?!''
298* In the otherwise fairly serious ''An Easter Carol'', Ebeneezer initially has trouble understanding the concept of TimeTravel and IntangibleTimeTravel when Hope whisks him away on his journey. During his and Hope's journey to the past, they enter the church during Ebeneezer's childhood:
299-->'''Ebeneezer''': (''to an usher'') Hey, you've gotta help me. I've been kidnapped by a bug!\
300(''The usher doesn't respond.'')\
301'''Ebeneezer''': What's the matter with that guy?\
302'''Hope''': You're not really here.\
303'''Ebeneezer''': Huh...? (''spots his still-living grandmother'') Hey, it's Grandma! (''goes over to her'') Grandma! You're okay! What are you doing here?\
304'''Hope''': She can't hear you.\
305(''beat'')\
306'''Ebeneezer''': '''''HI, GRANDMA! ARE YOU FEELING OKAY?'''''\
307'''Hope''': (''audibly exasperated'') You're ''not'' really here, Ebeneezer! This is Easter Past!\
308'''Ebeneezer''': Easter Past? ...Ohhhh....
309* The way Ahem lost the bean:
310--> '''Ahem:''' One day, before 10 AM I had created and consumed a 200-pound marshmallow Peep! [[FoodComa Unfortunately, I fell into a sugar coma]]. When I awoke three days later, the bean was gone.
311** Even funnier when you imagine Billboy wandering around to find a sleeping gourd, the remains of a giant Easter treat, and just takes the bean off his unconscious person.
312* From the "Pants" song:
313** The background singers are sentient pairs of pants who sing "Pants, pants, pants, pants".
314** The line "They're pants if you're short and shorts if you're tall."
315* In the song "I Love My Lips", Larry takes his lips very seriously, and he also recounts a time when he was eight and had to go to the hospital due to a lip injury, where he met a Polish boy named Oscar.
316* ''Tomato Sawyer and Huckleberry Larry's Big River Rescue'' has Bob playing a version of Tom Sawyer who wants to open up a tax preparation agency, explaining to Larry that federal taxes are complicated, but he's got a good head for it, and what's more, there isn't a single tax preparer on the Mississippi between Minnesota and New Orleans, so the market is wide open. Then the narrator chimes in:
317-->'''Clark Wayne''': What the tomato may have missed in his business plan is that this is 1904, and the federal income tax will not be established until 1913! For the next nine years, he will in fact have the market all to himself. What he will not have...is customers.
318* This bit from "Josh and the Big Wall!":
319-->'''Pa Grape:''' This time, I really mean it: we should go back to Egypt.\
320(''the Israelite peas do a DoubleTake'')\
321'''Pa:''' Don't you remember? Snorkeling in the Nile, three square meals a day, plenty of exercise...oh, it was ''paradise.''\
322'''Tom Grape:''' (''looks at Pa'') We were in ''slavery!''\
323'''Pa:''' ''Nothing'' is [[AlterKocker poifect]].
324* In the Hairbrush Song, when Junior tells Larry that he doesn't have any hair and Larry's horrified reaction.
325-->'''Junior:''' Why do you need a hairbrush? YOU DON'T HAVE ANY HAIR!
