* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: If a brief bit of dialogue at the beginning of the episode, her VillainSong, and her stated backstory in the episode are to be believed, her actual name is "Temptation Appley". But most VeggieTales media simply refer to her as the Bad Apple.



* VillainousBreakdown: Undergoes this when the citizens are evacuated from Apply's Fun House 2, ending with her attempting to destroy the statue of Obadiah Bumbly out of spite.

* Flanderization: Larry was originally just an eccentric and ditzy co-host in the original show. The Netflix series amplifies these traits to make him into a childish idiot who can barely think for himself.

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

* BigBad: Not for the entire ''[VeggieTales=]'' series, but he definitely has this role in a handful of episodes he's in—most notably "Rack, Shack, and Benny," "The Toy That Saved Christmas," and "Moe and the Big Exit." The first two he comes off as misguided and pulls a HeelFaceTurn, but he faces no such redemption as the Mayor of Dodgeball City in the latter.

** AmbiguouslyBi: While it is most obvious with Mayor Blueberry, her dialogue comes off as kind of flirty with everyone she tempts.


Added DiffLines:

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: While the Fib and the Rumor Weed were giant monsters of various descriptions, the Bad Apple is the first Larry Boy antagonist to just be an ordinary [[AnthropomorphicFood person.]] In addition, the Fib's and the Rumor Weed's plans were both based around feeding on vices untiil they could grow large enough to go on a rampage. In contrast, the Bad Apple's plan involved luring Bumblyburg's most powerful citizens into their own personal [[LotusEaterMachine LotusEaterMachines]] so she could take over bumblyburg unopposed. While the Fib and the Rumor Weed were defeated by the lies/rumors they gained powers from respectively being undone by Junior Asparagus, the Bad Apple was defeated by the combined effort of the people she tempted using more mundane means.


Added DiffLines:

* TheVamp: About as close as a villain can get to this in a christian children's cartoon. She specializes in using her charisma and smooth voice to lure people into webs of their own temptation.

* AmbiguouslyJewish: His accent was originally supposed to be an exaggerated Oregon dialect for a Grapes of Wrath pun, but in later appearances, it rapidly shifted towards stereotypical Jewish. The creators eventually just rolled with it and started mixing [[YiddishAsASecondLanguage random Yiddish]] into his dialog. He frequently appears in Old Testament episodes, which is the Jewish scripture and known to Jews as the Tanakh.
