Funny / VeggieTales

"I've got slushy in my ear."

While 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.

---

• ''Where's God when I'm S-s-Scared?"
  • 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:
    Larry: Fear not! For behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy. For unto you...
    Bob: [glaring, clears throat] Wrong story, Larry.
  • The water buffalo, and Archibald becoming Soapbox Sadie.
    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! So stop. Being. So. SILLY!
  • And then at the end of the song, when Larry begins singing "Everybody's got a baby kangaroo...", Archibald yells and runs into the scene, tackling Larry.
  • "Did you say trouble?" And the scene with the head scallion immediately afterwards.
  • At the end of the episode, Bob asks if QWERTY has a verse, and pulls up...
    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...
• The Toy that Saved Christmas:
  • 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:
    Percy Pea: Billy has more toys than me!
    Dad Pea: [visibly confused] Who's Billy?
    Percy: I don't know, but he has more toys than me!
  • Also, after Bob, Larry, and Junior crash their sled into the snow. Bob is stuck in the snow upside down.
    Bob: Mousetrap.
    Larry: What?
    Bob: I wanted to play Mousetrap. You roll your dice. You move your mice. Nobody gets hurt.
  • This later gets a Shoutout in "The Story of St. Nicholas" where, after a wild chase scene involving 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."
  • This gem right here after Buzzsaw Louie manages to cut the ropes that were tying him and the others in the climax.
    Buzzsaw Louie: OK, everybody who's got hands, start tying!
    Bob, Larry, and Junior: *beat*
    Buzzsaw Louie: That'd be me.
  • Also, during the Christmas Spectacular, Larry breaks the news to Bob:
    Larry: It's about the film, Bob.
    Bob: [Cautiously] ...What about the film, Larry?
    Larry: ...I can't find it.
    Bob: ...What did you say?
    Larry: The film. I can't find it. I looked everywhere! It's just...gone!
    Bob: ...Larry?
    Larry: ...Yeah, Bob?
    Bob: ...This is network television.
    Larry: I know. [Smiles stupidly at the camera]
    Bob: [Exasperated] DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS TO GET A NETWORK TO TURN OVER AN HOUR OF AIR TIME TO A BUNCH OF VEGETABLES!?
    Larry: Uh... Pretty hard?
    Bob: [Voice-crack-y, exasperated screech that vaguely resembles a "yeah"]
    Pa Grape: Hey, what's going on? Why aren't we running the film?
    Bob: [Makes the same sound]
    • 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.
  • Then there's the ending.
    Pa Grape: Great news everybody, I've got the network on the phone. They say they love the film!
    Bob & Larry: (Cheering)
    Pa Grape: They say, they especially liked the part where 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.
    (beat)
    Bob: What channel were they watching? You mean they missed the whole thing?!
    Pa Grape: Ahhh. Maybe it's better that way.
• "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 complaining that they liked the original. The staff has since basically shrugged and commented that they can't please everyone. One of them even said that they learned "You can write songs with negative messages; you just can't make them catchy".
• The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything:

  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.
  Pa Grape: Huh? No, I don't!
  Mr. Lunt: Do too.
  Pa Grape: Do not!
  Mr. Lunt: You're making me hungry.
  Pa Grape: That's it! You're walking the plank!
  Mr. Lunt: Says who?
  Pa Grape: Says the captain, THAT'S who!
  Mr. Lunt: Oh yeah? Aye Aye, Cap'n Crunch! Hee hee hee hee!
  Pa Grape: AAARGH! *starts chasing Mr. Lunt*
  Mr. Lunt: YIKES!

  • 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.
    Well, I've never plucked a rooster
    And I'm not too good at ping-pong
    And I've never thrown my mashed potatoes
    Up against a wall
    And I've never kissed a chipmunk
    And I've never gotten head lice
    And I've never been to Boston in the Fall.
  • Also worth noting is his second verse, which also has nothing to do with pirates and makes even less sense.
    And I've never licked a spark plug
    And I've never sniffed a stink bug
    And I've never painted daisies
    On a big red rubber ball
    And I've never bathed in yogurt
    And I don't look good in leggings...
    • Followed immediately by Pa Grape's response:
      Pa Grape: You just don't get it.
• The Silly Song "Endangered Love". Larry + Manatee plushie = Pure hilarity.
  • What really sold it was Bob's reaction. "Maybe you should read a book..."
  • "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."
• The lampshading of the lack of appendages in Dr. Jiggle and Mr. Sly.
  "THE FEET!"
• Esther...The Girl Who Became Queen: "The punishment should be...banishment to The Island of Perpetual Tickling!"
  • Also the "Lost Puppies" song.
  Miss Achmetha: Arf!

  • And Xerxes and Haman's reactions after the song.
  King Xerxes: What am I gonna do with all those dogs?
  • After a failed assassination attempt:
  King Xerxes: "Why is there a piano on my cake?"
• "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. It's also not the only love story between a guy and a cheeseburger.
  Archibald: I thought you were going to sing about growing up in Connecticut!
  Announcer: This has been "Love Songs With Mr. Lunt". Tune in next when Mr. Lunt says...
  Mr. Lunt: I grew up in New Jersey.
• In Madame Blueberry, when Bob and Larry are hysterically crying over the outcome of the story:
  Larry: Hold me, Bob.
  Bob: I would if I could, man!
• Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed, lampshading the show's cast of plants:
  Laura: You're a talking weed!
  Rumor Weed: I'm a talking weed, you're a talking carrot. Your point was?
  *Laura and Jr. give each other a look*
  • Not to mention the design◊ of the Rumor Weed itself.
  • Following the above line, Junior says they have a theory about Alfred, but can't say anymore than that.
    Rumor Weed: Listen, sprout, did your parents ever teach you to share?
    Junior: Well, yes, but—
    Rumor Weed: Then share with me! I'm a good friend of Albert's!
    Laura: Alfred.
    Rumor Weed: Alfred.
    • The music that plays during this conversation almost reacts to the weed's comments.
• In the song, "Donuts for Benny," when said dog eats too many donuts, he begins singing and tossing Mr. Lunt around!
  "Waltz me around again, baby,
  Around, around, around!
  These donuts are dreamy, their filling is creamy,
  Oh, don't let my feet touch the ground!
  I feel like a ship on an ocean of joy!
  I just want to holler out loud, 'Ship ahoy!'
  Waltz me around again, baby!
  Around, around, around!"
• 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:
  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!
  • The best part is the evil smile on Bob's face right before he turns the sink on.
• All of Paco the Storytelling Mule's stories. All of them.
• Larry's part of the theme song:
  Cauliflower!
  Sweet and sour!
  Half an hour!
• The Silly Song "Monkey".
  Larry: 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!
  • When they finally find what they're looking for: A cow.
  Larry: It's a monkey!
  Bob: Larry, that's a cow.
  Captions: NOT A MONKEY
  • 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.
• Mr. Lunt being forced into playing Ophelia. "I think we're going to get letters about this." And the Big Idea crew never got a single letter.
• 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 Flat "What" 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."
  • 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 Aside Glance ever.
  • 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:
  Scallion #1: A rhododendron tree?
  Scallions #2 and 3: We got three!
  Scallion #1: A wrrrap around deck?!
  Scallions #2 and 3: [suddenly unsure] Gotta check!
  Scallion #1: (frowns)
• Oh, Santa.
  • 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 the camera after that makes it even better.
  • 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.
  • "Oh Santa" was inspired by a song from the opera "Kiss of the Spider Woman". The crew finds this hysterical.
• Heck, every Silly Song in general.
  • "Gated Community." The people in the Gated Community spend the whole song singing about how great their community is and not noticing Larry's ball as he attempts to get it back.
  • And most of the things we should tune in next time to hear.
  • "Larry's High Silk Hat":
    • Larry's reaction to his hat being squashed.
      Larry:A great big squash just sat upon my hat!
    • After everyone leaves, a Park Cleaner (played by Scallion #1) shows up next to Larry:
      Larry: (attempting to finish the song) Oh golly...! (talks normally) Uh...what's your name?
      Scallion #1: They've never given me a name. I've been around since show 1 and I still don't have a name!
      Beat
      Larry: Now what do you think of that?
      (Smash Cut to black)
  • "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.
  • "My Baby Elf":
    • After Larry-as-Earacorn has spent the entire song being Elvish Presley, Jimmy-as-Legolamb arrives to yank off his fake Pointed Ears 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.
    • 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.
  • 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 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.
    Bob: I'll be in my dressing room...
• 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:
  • Things go awry early while they're reading the letter.
  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?
  Jerry: [Now angry, as his Larry mask falls off] YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?!?
  Jimmy: Hey! Whoa! Aw, man! You're the one that said 'Jerry'! I was gonna-
  Bob: Hey! What's going on in there?!?
  [Jimmy and Jerry become afraid when they hear Bob's voice, while Jerry worriedly looks around before putting his mask back on, upside-down.]
  Larry: Yeah! What are you guys doing?!?
  Jimmy: Uh, hi! I'm Bob the Tomato!
  Jerry: And I'm not selfish!
  • "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:
  Philippe: You guys are not so bright!
  • 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.
  • There's also Bob's reaction when he chews out Jimmy and Jerry, mainly for matching how the audience likely felt toward the story.
    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!
• The Ultimate Silly Song Countdown:
  • 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. The result must be seen to be believed.
  • The "fortune cookie" at the end:
    Larry [reading]: "Beware of grape with wooden mallet."
  • Towards the end, after Pa Grape is caught trying to add fake votes for "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" (so he could have first place instead of second), we get this from Mr. Lunt:
    Mr. Lunt: You have disgraced the proud title of 'pirate'! [Quietly] Oh wait. Maybe not.
• "The Forgive-o-Matic". Especially the end, where the scallion proceeds to try and sell a Chia Forgive-o-Matic.
• 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:
  Millward: (Elated gasp) You got a monkey that can yodel!?
  Cavis: No, Millward...
• The endless parade of gags in the climax of The Star Of Christmas:
  • "Look! We're bankers!"
  • Later:
    Millward: (As he makes a turn) Hey! I think I know a short cut! (As they go off-screen) Through the Crystal Palace!
    Everyone else: (Off-screen) MILLWARD!
    Millward: (Off-screen) Never mind...
  • 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 (^Explaination Non-DreamWorks Animation 3D software + Thousands of tiny glass shards = !!!!!). It was so notable that it was brought up again in the King George and the Ducky DVD commentary.
• The VeggieTown Greetings from Bob and Larry. Highlights include:
  • The VeggieTown Theme Song.
  • In Greeting 5, the following exchange is made:
    Bob: Welcome to VeggieTown! I'm Bob the Tomato,
    Larry: And I'm Larry the Cucumber! I'm running for president!
    Bob: You can't run for president!
    Larry: Why not?
    Bob: Well, y-you're a cucumber!
    Larry: So? Jimmy Carter was a peanut.
    Bob: He was not a peanut! He was a peanut farmer!
    Larry: Oh.
    Bob: Besides, you can't run for president with a shoe on your head!
    Larry: It's a running shoe!
    Bob: *Looks at camera unamused*
  • Larry's Campaign song, and the dialogue that comes after that.
    Larry: *singing* Vote for me! Vote for me! Vote for me vote for me vote for me-
    Bob: Eeeh, that's not very catchy, Larry. Besides, you have to tell people why they should vote for you.
    Larry: No problem! How's this? *singing* Vote for me! Or you'll be sorry! Cause I'll put mustard in your oatmeal andmakenoiseslikeasickcatwhile you're trying to sleep!
    Bob: Forget the song, Larry. What's your platform?
    Larry: My what?
    Bob: Where do you stand?
    Larry: *Looks at the floor beneath him* Right here, I guess.
    Bob: No, where do you stand on the issues?
    Larry: ...But if I stand on them, won't they get squished? And nobody likes a squishy issue, Bob.
  • Larry's Badge.
    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.
• Charlie Pincher's cameos in The Ballad of Little Joe. All 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 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!
• "The Blues with Larry":
  • Blind Lemon Lincoln tries to get always-cheerful Larry to sing the Blues properly. It's a losing battle.
  • Lincoln takes away Larry's cookie, which he pulled out after Lincoln took his ice cream:
  Lincoln: My sweet creamy ice cream, I DON'T CARE ABOUT NO COOOKIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!! *smashes Larry's cookie with guitar several times* Now try it again.
• When bit-character Lutfi, "The teensy-weensy cucumber"^note  (who is implied to be (And, in a later episode, is indeed) a sock puppet made by Khalil) tells the story of Maewynn Succat, who would later become St. Patrick, we get this gem:
  Lutfi: Maewynn grew up as a normal little boy. He went to school, he played, he went to church. And, he was captured by pirates.
  Maewynn Succat: Wait. That's not normal!
  Lutfi: If you were too normal, you would not have a holiday named after you!
  Maewynn Succat: Good point.
  • 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."
• 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.
• 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, señor! Come over here and let me sing you a song!"
  • This song is tied to 2 Real Life 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.
• 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 "Wait, a WHAT?" on Scallion's face is priceless.
• The Hopperena.
  • "Should I just eat a bon-bon and go back to bed?"
  • Especially once Archibald enjoys the Hopperena.
    Jean Claude: I am embarrassed for you.
• The VeggieTales version of On Top Of Old Smokey has the characters making hilarious comments after each verse of the song.
  • "Can we just fast forward to the next song please? Push the button!"
• Elloit's 'Afraid Of' list, especially when it's revealed that Elliot is afraid of Buzzsaw Louie!
  Banana crepes,
  Seedless grapes,
  Tim Burton's version of the apes!
• 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 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...
  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!
  • What really sells it is when we cut back to Otar rolling his eyes at Sven's completely nonsensical and blatantly unrealistic descriptions.
  • Sven even says early on he doesn't even see any of what Otar's telling him, rendering the song entirely pointless.
  • 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.
• This short, but sweet dialogue in ''LarryBoy and the Fib from Outer Space'':
  Laura: [Larryboy's] honking.
  Percy: It's part of the plan!
• The TV Series, despite its Executive Meddling, also has quite a few funny moments:
  • The Running Gag of Jimmy trying to stuff the mail through the mail slot.
    • In one episode, 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.
    Larry: At least he didn't try to stuff it in the mail slot this time.
  • Another episode has Mr. Lunt as a messenger. The dialogue is as follows:
    Larry^note Who is outside of the house as to get his wireless computer working: [The letter for today is] From Olivia, from New Mexico!
    Mr. Lunt: He says it's from Olivia from New Mexico. Over.
    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.
    Mr. Lunt: Tell Olivia to pack up and leave the country. There's no use in coming back to Grandma's. Ever.
    Bob: [obviously shocked]: What!?
    Mr. Lunt: Uh.... the views expressed by the messenger are not necessarily the opinions held by the letter writer.
    Bob: What exactly did Olivia say?
    Mr. Lunt: She lied so she wouldn't get in trouble for breaking a cookie jar.
  • 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.
    Mr. Lunt: This isn't going so well. Wait while I get more tape.
  • "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.
    • 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 he wound up being 15 feet tall and weighing 12,000 pounds because he ate a lot of corn.
  • In "Esther, The Girl Who Became Queen", Larry reacts to the mail song with "You should hear the song our plumber sings!"
• The silly-song Love my Lips has Larry visiting Archibald, who is a psychiatrist, to talk about his feelings. The entire song is just Larry being Larry and talking about his love for his lips for no reason, but Archibald ends up looking like he just watched 2001: A Space Odyssey.
  Archibald: I'm confused.
  • Special mention goes to Larry's hilariously bonkers anecdote about getting his lips stuck in a gate and being sent to "lip rehab".
    "Usta!"
  • The episode where that silly-song comes from, Dave and the Giant Pickle, has some great Black Comedy. At one point, Dave is trying to sell Saul on the idea of him going to fight Goliath and...
    Saul: You're not going to sing, are you?
    Dave: nods his head
    Saul: Couldn't you just play your harp and I throw things at you?
• The opening wraparound for Very Silly Songs 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 Follow the Bouncing Ball due to the French Peas unable to stop typing the words on Qwerty after they've started.
  JANE! STOP ZIS CRAZY THING!!
  • 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:
    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.
    (as Larry starts to unhook the faucet with a wrench...)
    Jimmy: Oh, you meant the kitchen sink?
    (The kitchen faucet comes loose; Larry looks up at the screen for a second as the kitchen sink rumbles and erupts like a volcano beneath him.)
    Jimmy: I thought this was bathrooms and decks.
    Larry: BOB!!!
  • 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:
    Larry: Hey, Bob! Guess what? I bought a whole chocolate factory with no money down!
    Bob: You did what?!
• In the otherwise fairly serious An Easter Carol, Ebeneezer initially has trouble understanding the concept of Time Travel and Intangible Time Travel 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:
  Ebeneezer: (to an usher) Hey, you've gotta help me. I've been kidnapped by a bug!
  (The usher doesn't respond.)
  Ebeneezer: What's the matter with that guy?
  Hope: You're not really here.
  Ebeneezer: Huh...? (spots his still-living grandmother) Hey, it's Grandma! (goes over to her) Grandma! You're okay! What are you doing here?
  Hope: She can't hear you.
  (beat)
  Ebeneezer: HI, GRANDMA! ARE YOU FEELING OKAY?
  Hope: (audibly exasperated) You're not really here, Ebeneezer! This is Easter Past!
  Ebeneezer: Easter Past? ...Ohhhh....
• The way Ahem lost the bean:
  Ahem: One day, before 10 AM I had created and consumed a 200-pound marshmallow Peep! Unfortunately, I fell into a sugar coma. When I awoke three days later, the bean was gone.
  • 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.
• From the "Pants" song:
  • The background singers are sentient pairs of pants who sing "Pants, pants, pants, pants".
