Series Regulars
Bob the Tomato
- Voiced by: Phil Vischer
The main host of the show. Bob is usually portrayed as the Only Sane Man to Larry's wild antics.
- Afraid of Blood: Well, tomato juice, but it's the same general idea.
- Berserk Button:
- When the show goes wrong (which is pretty frequent), you'd better watch Bob's temper.
- He also gets annoyed at the What we have Learned song. He's fine with it normally; it just constantly interrupts him.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Normally a very polite guy, but he'll go nuts if one of his buttons is pressed.Bob: No comprendo? I'll show you 'No comprendo'!!! (chases Larry at the end of the Silly Song)
- Butt-Monkey: Is easily the member of the cast who gets the most physical abuse, in the name of slapstick of course. The second episode alone features Bob being launched out of a palm tree by getting hit by a coconut. There are some occurrences in Silly Songs too where he is the butt of many exploitations, like "Sneeze If You Need To" in which Bob is exposed to many sources which cause sneezing, or "Dance of the Cucumber" in which he translates Larry's Spanish song ripping on Bob's inability to dance.
- Character Catchphrase: He usually introduces the show."Hi, welcome to VeggieTales. I'm Bob the Tomato."
- Character Development: Bob went from loathing the "What Have We Learned" song in the shows beginning, to eventually liking it near the end of the series run, providing it doesn't cut him off.
- Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: To Larry. Bob acts as the moral compass to him by calling him out on his goofiness and getting annoyed by his idiocy.
- Deadpan Snarker: Usually towards Larry's goofiness, he is prone to moments of sarcasm.
- Deuteragonist: He's the secondary member of the main cast, for he introduces the show and is best friends with the main character, but hasn't as much significance to the stories as Larry, let alone appear in most of them. He gets much more spotlight in VeggieTales in the House though, where the series has shifted to regular sitcom plots rather than Biblical retellings.
- Foil: To his best pal, Larry. Bob is more serious and rational, while Larry is completely silly and absentminded.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Larry, of course. They live together and are the main stars of the show. While they have a lot of squabbles, it is clear the two of them are best friends as well as co-hosts. The earliest example comes from God Wants Me to Forgive Them? when he chews Larry out for breaking the duo's boat and refuses to forgive him even when he's said he's sorry, causing Larry to leave the lagoon and attempt to sail away. Bob is left guilty over driving his best friend away and tries to get him back home, finally admitting he believes in forgiveness.
- Hopeless with Tech: A running gag in a few episodes is how far behind Bob is with the latest tech.
- Lesser Star: 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.
- Nice Guy: A usually polite sort of guy who helps the children out with their problems and is shown to care for Larry whenever the latter's doubts show, as seen when he convinces him to come back home in God Wants Me to Forgive Them? and even admits to forgiving him for breaking their boat.
- Only Sane Man: Possibly the closest to normal of the cast. He's usually the only one not goofing off and is quick to shut down Larry's silliness when something serious is going on. This comes into effect at the beginning of Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie, where he's the only one not participating in the road trip song and even admits that if Mr. Asparagus weren't singing it they'd be able to reach their destination, since he wouldn't help Bob with the map.
- Straight Man: Serves as the voice of reason for his very silly and goofy co-host Larry.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue to Larry's red; he's the more rational of the duo.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: While he and Larry have quite a lot of squabbles due to their contrasting maturity levels, it's clear that they are best friends.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Whenever he's in a villainous, or at least antagonistic, role.
Larry the Cucumber
- Voiced by: Mike Nawrocki
The co-host of the show. Larry is the silly one, and is easily one of the more recognizable veggies.
- Butt-Monkey: A lot of the Silly Songs and even some of the regular episodes he stars in will have him suffer some embarrassing predicament, like being stuck to a bear trap after discovering his song session had been canceled in favor of the Cheeseburger Song by Mr. Lunt. Earlier Silly Songs also had a habit of making people chase him at the end as a form of revenge for his mistakes.
- Character Catchphrase:
- Accompanying Bob's introduction:
"And I'm Larry the Cucumber!"- (as Larry-Boy) "I! AM! THAT! HERO!"
- Cloudcuckoolander: Especially when it comes his silly songs. Larry is frequently acting out and exhibiting his eccentricity.
- The Ditz: He's portrayed as usually being wet behind the ears, lacking a basic understanding of abstract concepts.
- 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.
- Foil: To Bob. Larry is the eccentric and ditzy of the duo, while Bob is the mature and rational one.
- Fun Personified: Larry is always off in his own little land and lives life to seek thrills.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: He and Bob are roommates who are the main hosts of the show, even if they have their squabbles.
- I Am Not Weasel: Doesn't take too kindly to others calling him a pickle.
- Interspecies Romance: If vegetables count, his relationship with Petunia Rhubarb. It's even been shown that they may have had children together.
- Keet: Larry is full of energy and hyperactivity.
- Kindhearted Simpleton: Not the sharpest tool in the shed, but a really sweet fellow.
- The Klutz: Larry has been shown to be quite clumsy, falling victim to slapstick on occasion, almost to the same extent as Bob.
- Large Ham: He's quite rambunctious, especially as Larry Boy. "I! Am! That! Hero!"
- 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. The Netflix series flanderizes him into becoming even more childish.
- Mean Character, Nice Actor: His role as "King George" in spades, where his character's selfishness and the things he does to fuel it border on sociopathy.
- Nice Guy: One of the friendliest and amiable characters on the series.
- The Pollyanna: As evidenced in "The Blues With Larry", when he fails at singing the blues because he's just too darn happy. Blind Lemon's attempts to make him sad fall flat, to the point where he leaves in disgust.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red to Bob's blue; he's more energetic than Bob.
- Running Gag: Other characters confusing Larry for a pickle.
- Simpleton Voice: He has an immature voice that matches his ditzy personality, especially in the first two videos.
- Superpowered Alter Ego: Larryboy, his superhero alter-ego.
- Took a Level in Dumbass: During the Netflix series. He's become significantly dumber. In one episode, he believes that Bob has betrayed him in favor of Bacon Bill due to a misunderstanding of the abbreviation "BFF" - which Bob really used to refer to Bacon Bill as his "Bacon Friend Forever".
- Trademark Favorite Food: The Netflix series has him develop a penchant for sardines.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: While he and Bob have a lot of squabbles due to their contrasting maturity levels, they always make up in the end. It is clear they are best friends, co-hosts, roommates, and overall Heterosexual Life-Partners.
- Vocal Evolution: His voice was much deeper in the first two videos, with a heavy lisp. The lisp disappeared after Lyle the Kindly Viking.
Junior Asparagus
- Voiced by: Lisa Vischer (1993 - 2014, 2019 - present), Tress MacNeille (2014 - 2017)
A five-year-old boy who is a frequent protagonist in many of the shows.
- Adapted Out: Not Junior himself, but his iconic yellow hat is gone in the Netflix series.
- Adorably Precocious Child: Every so often exhibits his mature side typically when delivering An Aesop, but Junior is truly a kid at heart.
- All of the Other Reindeer: He played this role in the second episode, in which a new group of kids ostracized him for his appearance, calling him names.
- Badass Adorable: He's this in Dave and the Giant Pickle when he fights Goliath as Dave with a stone and sling.
- Berserk Button: Making fun of his "hair", at least early on.
- Brutal Honesty: In "The Hairbrush Song," he reacts to Larry's lamenting over his hairbrush by pointing out that Larry doesn't need a hairbrush, since he doesn't have any hair.
- Butt-Monkey: 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 Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson's Hairbush.
- Cannot Tell Fiction from Reality: The pilot episode Where's God When I'm S-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 when Frankencelery 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.
- Captain Space, Defender of Earth!: In the episode "Bully Trouble", Junior has a daydream where he imagines himself as a hero of this type, and the bully as an evil alien monster to defeat.
- Cheerful Child: While not without his struggles, he generally is a well-adjusted boy.
- Children Are Innocent: He's a really innocent and kindhearted little boy who faces typical little kid challenges and deals with common childhood phobias. Most of his rare malice is born out of sheer naivety.
- Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: Occasionally serves as a voice of reason to Larry, although he's just as likely to join in his antics.
- Comic-Book Time: He has aged twice in twenty-three years.
- Cowardly Lion: He's had two separate episodes devoted to his dealing with fear.
- Deuteragonist: He's even filled in for Larry in the opening at least twice.
- The Dog Bites Back: Frequently Junior will come back to bite the bigger people exploiting his shortness. He takes down Goliath with just a slingshot and a stone in Dave and the Giant Pickle.
- Intergenerational Friendship: With Bob and Larry. They often accompany Junior on his journeys and act supportive of him along the way.
- Kid Has a Point: Sure, he's just a little boy, but every now and then he can incorporate morality into problematic situations.
- Nice Guy: A sweet Cheerful Child with not a single mean bone in his body — except in Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie, where he engages in some Who's Laughing Now? when Laura loses her backstage pass after taunting him with it; it becomes a vector for Junior learning about compassion and forgiveness.
- No Indoor Voice: Until around Lyle the Kindly Viking, where his voice gets a little bit softer and quieter.
- Only Sane Man: 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 collapsing.
- Sibling Team: He's shown to have a sister in later episodes.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Junior takes after his parents.
Archibald Asparagus
- Voiced by: Phil Vischer
A proper English gentleman who strives to keep the show more serious and educational.
- British Stuffiness: To Larry and others of course (due to Silly Songs). He often shows stoic emotion to them as a result of their insufferable eccentricity.
- Characterization Marches On: Originally, Archie had a distaste for Larry's silly songs, but since then he's loosened up over time and has even sung some of his own silly songs.
- Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: He used to act like a moral compass to Larry regarding his distaste for Silly Songs.
- Establishing Character Moment: His first scene in the series was when he ran onstage to tell Larry that the song he was singing was too silly in "The Water Buffalo Song". For a long time after that his distaste for "Silly Songs" and his desire that the show be highbrow and taken seriously was what drove his character, although he eventually loosened up a little.
- The Finicky One: Often has an upright attitude and wild moral judgement.
- Gentleman Snarker: He's polite to everybody but is sarcastic at times.
- High-Class Glass: Is usually seen wearing a monocle.
- Hypocritical Humor: He says he doesn't like Silly Songs (and silliness), but he wrote one Silly Song and acted really goofy in the Hopperena song.
- Nice Guy: He's quite polite and well-meaning, if not without his flaws.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Stated to initially be based off of John Cleese.
- Not So Above It All: Gradually became this as a result of Silly Songs growing on him.
- Odd Name Out: Unlike all the other characters in the Larry-Boy episodes that go by their usual names, Archibald is renamed Alfred in reference to the Batman franchise.
- Official Couple: With Lovey, although she hasn't been around in a while.
- Only Sane Man: Along with Bob, he's definitely one of the more rational members of the cast, using critical thinking and diminishing eccentricity.
- Quintessential British Gentleman: He isn't called the English Asparagus for nothing.
- Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Often speaks in sophisticated words.
Mike Asparagus
- Voiced by: Dan Anderson (1993 - 2011), J. Chris Wall (2012), Rob Paulsen (2014 onwards)
Junior's father, prone to giving fatherly advice.
- Demoted to Extra: Ever since the mid-2000s he's been appearing a lot less compared to his wife and son. He still appears every now and then but not as much as in the early days.
- Good Parents: Can be a bit oblivious sometimes, but is always there for Junior if he has something he needs to talk about and is generally kind and supportive to him.
- Nice Guy: He's very kind and thoughtful, although he can occasionally be careless.
- Unnamed Parent: Is never given a proper name in any role he has played. Most of the time, he's just Dad Asparagus; in "Larry's Lagoon" he's only ever called "The Professor", and even in The Star of Christmas and An Easter Carol where he plays a reverend, he is called "Reverend Gilbert" but is never actually given a first name.
Lisa Asparagus
- Voiced by: Gail Freeman (1993), Lisa Vischer (1995 - Present), Jackie Ritz (2002, 2004), Megan Murphy (2006), Keri Pisapia (2011-2012), Tress MacNeille (2015-present)
Junior's mother.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: In Take 38, an early promo for the show, she is married to Archibald.
- Good Parents: Can be a bit oblivious sometimes, but is generally a loving, supportive mother to Junior.
- Happily Married: To Dad Asparagus.
- Unnamed Parent: Is never given a proper name in any role she has played.
The Scallions
"Allow us to introduce ourselves...."
- Voiced by: Phil Vischer (Scallion #1), Mike Nawrocki (Scallion #2), Mike Sage (Scallion #3, 1993 - 2003), Brian K. Roberts (Scallion #3, 2006 - Present)
Three scallions who typically play the role of villains.
- Big, Thin, Short Trio: Scallion #1 is tall, Scallion #2 is skinny, and Scallion #3 is short and plump.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Are noticeably absent in In the House.
- Evil Brit: Their leader has an English accent.
- No Name Given: Lampshaded by their leader at one point. He's been around since show one, and they still haven't given him a name.
- Stealth Pun: They're scallions who play villains—in other words, they're rapSCALLIONS. Funnily enough, they rap in Madame Blueberry.
QWERTY
"We know that God's word is for everyone, and now that our song is done, let's take a look."
- Voiced by: Mike Nawrocki
A computer who gives a Bible verse to go with a given episode's lesson.
- Adapted Out: QWERTY was never used for the In the House or In the City installments due to the Netflix series abandoning the countertop segments.
- As the Good Book Says...: He does this at the end of most episodes.
- Meaningful Name: Named after the QWERTY keyboard layout.
- Suddenly Voiced: In Pistachio, which was released in 2010, seventeen years after the show's start, QWERTY got a major upgrade which included a voice chip.
Jimmy & Jerry Gourd
Jerry (left), Jimmy (right)
- Voiced by: Phil Vischer (Jimmy) & Mike Nawrocki (Jerry)Debut: Are You My Neighbor?
Two clueless gourds who have quite the appetite.
- Big Eater: Both of them, to the point where they can easily consume a meteor made out of popcorn.
- Divergent Character Evolution: While Jerry barely grew past his original character traits, Jimmy evolved into a Straight Man with Large Ham tendencies.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: They're notably best friends and spend a majority of their screentime together.
- The Quiet One: Jerry rarely speaks on his own and is only heard delivering short utterances.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Brash, impulsive Jimmy is Red; Quiet, introverted Jerry is Blue.
- Those Two Guys: Those two gourds, in fact. They are seldom seen apart, unless playing a role in a story in which they have no relation.
Pa Grape
- Voiced by: Phil Vischer
An elderly Yiddish grape who is the patriarch of the Grapes of Wrath (later the Grapes of Math) and frequently plays father/grandfather figures.
- Alter Kocker: While not originally meant to come off this way, later episodes had him lean into this archetype.
- Ambiguously Jewish: His accent was originally supposed to be an exaggerated Oregon dialect for a Grapes of Wrath pun (or rather, just a stereotypical "old man" voice), but in later appearances, it rapidly shifted towards stereotypical Jewish. The creators eventually just rolled with it and started mixing random Yiddish into his dialog. He frequently appears in Old Testament episodes, which is the Jewish scripture and known to Jews as the Tanakh.
- Breakout Character: Of all the Grapes of Wrath, he's the one who makes the most frequent appearances after their debut, with the others lucky enough to make occasional appearances.
- Characterization Marches On: In "The Grapes of Wrath", he was a hillbilly redneck, but he became an old, wise Yiddish guy later on.
- Eyeless Face: He doesn't have any proper eyes. Instead, he usually gets a pair of glasses that do the emoting for him.
- No Mouth: In VeggieTales in the House, his mouth is covered by his mustache.
Mr. Nezzer
"The bunny, the bunny, woah, I love the bunny."
- Voiced by: Phil Vischer (1993-2014), David Mann (2019-present)Debut: Rack, Shack and Benny
A zucchini businessman, often cast as a villain.
- Big Bad: 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 Heel–Face Turn, but he faces no such redemption as the Mayor of Dodgeball City in the latter.
- The Bus Came Back: When The VeggieTales Show was announced in 2019, Mr. Nezzer was revealed to be returning as a major character.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: Frequently plays one. In fact, his debut role was one.
- Expy: His voice is based off of Oogie Boogie. This sadly is the reason that he left after Dreamworks Animation bought the series, because they thought he was supposed to be black.note In The VeggieTales Show, he is indeed voiced by a black guy.
- Heel–Face Turn: Almost any time he plays a villain, his character will be redeemed by the end of the episode.
- The Leader: Plays this role in almost all the episodes he's in, whether he's the Big Bad or not.
- Mean Character, Nice Actor: Plays a villain pretty regularly and even has some harsh moments in his non-villainous roles, but the few times you can catch him when he's not acting, such as on one of the Christmas CDs when all the Veggies are just chilling out at Bob's house, Mr. Nezzer seems like a pretty nice fellow.
- Meaningful Name: His full name is Nebby K. Nezzer. Named after the Babylonian King, Nebuchadnezzar.
- Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: Inverted with most, if not all, of his villainous roles. In the show's own words, "Mr Nezzer's not a bad man, he just gets a little confused sometimes".
- Put on a Bus: He vanished after the characters were redesigned for VeggieTales in the House. This is due to being based off of a character voiced by an African-American combined with Dreamworks' policy of only voicing characters of the same race. As a result, he was replaced by an Expy named Ichabeezer, who is a generic Jerk with a Heart of Gold compared to Nezzer.
Mr. Lunt
"Cause you're his cheeseburger!"
- Voiced by: Phil VischerDebut: Rack, Shack and Benny
A Hispanic gourd who grew up in New Jersey and often Mr. Nezzer's right-hand man.
- Butt-Monkey: Mr. Lunt is frequently the worthless sidekick, appears insufferably lazy, cross-dresses at least twice, and laments that his life has only included one half hour of happiness. That one day. Between two and two-thirty.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Has shades of this, particularly in the outtakes for Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie, in which he states that his aunt was apparently a lobster. Even Larry calls him weird.
- The Dragon: Typically plays the right-hand man to Mr. Nezzer in earlier videos. He even plays the Dragon-in-Chief as Haman in the series' Esther episode.
- Expy: Phil Vischer has stated many times in interviews that the voice he uses for Mr Lunt was initially inspired by the weasels in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
- Eyeless Face: Mr. Lunt uses his forehead or the brim of his hat for expression.
- Mean Character, Nice Actor: He often plays a villainous right-hand man, but seems to be nice and a bit silly outside of his roles.
- Not So Above It All: Archibald has Mr. Lunt brought in to sing something less silly than Larry's usual songs. Cue "His Cheeseburger".Archibald: I thought you were going to sing about growing up in Connecticut!Mr. Lunt: I grew up in New Jersey.
Madame Blueberry
" I'm so blue, I don't know what to do."
- Voiced by: Megan Moore Burns (1998), Gail Freeman-Bock (1999), Jackie Ritz (2002-2009), Megan Murphy (2005-2014), Tress Macneille (2014-2017), Stephanie Southerland (2019-present)Debut: Madame Blueberry
A French Blueberry who first appeared in the episode of the same name.
- Adaptational Nationality: She had a French accent in the original show, which is suddenly gone in the Netflix series.
- Gratuitous French: She has a French accent, and fittingly enough throws in some French words into her sentences. Averted in the Netflix series, where her accent is gone.
- French Jerk: In her antagonistic roles, she comes off as this.
- Meaningful Name: In her debut episode, she's very blue about not having enough things.
- Species Surname: Unconventional example, being a fruit and all, but otherwise fits.
- True Blue Femininity: She's a blueberry and is quite vain and careful about her appearance.
- Vanity Is Feminine: She cares a lot about her appearance.
Petunia Rhubarb
- Voiced by: Cydney Trent (2005 - 2014), Tress MacNeille (2014-2017), Kira Buckland (2019-present)Debut: Duke and the Great Pie War
A rhubarb who plays a love interest to Larry in several episodes.
- Affirmative Action Girl: She was created specifically to add another female character to the predominantly male cast. Particularly, both staff members and fans of the show had long wanted to see a veggie who coul be a strong role model for girls, since most of the female veggies up to that point didn't really fill that role note .
- The Ditz: Occasionally falls into this; in Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Noah's Umbrella she starts rambling about cute things at one point.
- Iconic Sequel Character: She wasn't introduced to the series until the series' 19th episode, and yet she's just as much a part of Veggie Tales as the original cast. She appears enough in VeggieTales in the House to be considered the tritagonist.
- Official Couple: With Larry.
- Stealth Pun: Her driving character trait seems to be her sweetness, which is very apropos for a rhubarb.
Laura Carrot
"Good morning, George, how are you?"
- Voiced by: Kristin Blegan (1995 - 2002 & 2005), Jackie Ritz (2004 & 2005), Megan Murphy (2009), Keri Pisapia (2011 - 2013), Gigi Abraham (2014), Tress MacNeille (2014-2017)Debut: Are You My Neighbor?
A young carrot who is friends with Junior.
- Cheerful Child: She's a happy-go-lucky kid.
- Hairof Gold Heartof Gold: Blonde, and usually very nice.
- Youthful Freckles: She has freckles.
Ichabeezer
- Voiced by: Rob PaulsenDebut: Puppies and Guppies (VeggieTales in the House)
A replacement of Mr. Nezzer who debuts in VeggieTales in the House. He's known for being a grump, though he has a soft spot for his pet dog Rooney.
- Berserk Button: Stay off his lawn.
- Character Catchphrase: "GET OFF MY LAWN!"
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Once In the City ended and The VeggieTales show was announced, Mr. Nezzer was promptly brought back (in fact, Nezzer's voice was the first one heard in the trailer for the new show, as if to assure viewers he was back), and Ichabeezer disappeared from the face of the planet.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's greedy and cranky but does have a good heart deep down.
- Rich Bitch: He has a lot of money, and is rather rude.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: To Mr. Nezzer from the original series, although he's more of a grouch compared the the former.
Less Frequently-Appearing Veggies
Annie Onion
"A thankful heart is a happy heart..."
- Voiced by: Shelby Vischer (The Toy That Saved Christmas - The Star of Christmas), Ally Nawrocki (Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson's Hairbrush - God Loves You Very Much), Maggie Roberts (The Little Drummer Boy - Beauty and the Beet)Debut: The Toy That Saved Christmas
A little scallion girl who's friends with Junior Asparagus and Laura Carrot, most famous for singing the "Thankful Song" in Madame Blueberry.
- Adapted Out: She's one of the few recurring minor characters to have never been used for the Netflix series.
- Ascended Extra: Downplayed as she doesn't have any impact on the plot, but she was lucky enough to be one of Junior's friends brought along to the concert road trip in Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie while being driven in a vehicle by one of the main characters, and venturing into the seafood place with them, which does set up the plot. To this day, she still hasn't been lucky enough to have a single episode focused on her. However, she was lucky enough to occupy Bob's of all people's space in the countertop intro and outro for Sweatpea Beauty.
- Calling Your Bathroom Breaks: She announces during the group's argument at the seafood restaurant in Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie that she has to go to the bathroom. This trope is merely downplayed in that she doesn't ask it rudely, but rather randomly during the drama.
- Children Are Innocent: Like most of the child characters on the show, she's an adorable little kid who always listens to her parents and is ingenuously naïve.
- Girlish Pigtails: Wears a pink bowtie in her hair.
- Living Prop: She usually just occupies backgrounds or social gatherings of kids, though some episodes will give her a line or two if we need a kid other than Junior.
- Nice Girl: An optimistic little girl who's thankful for what she has and makes new friends with Bob, Larry and Madame Blueberry after the latter's house breaks.
- Platonic Life-Partners: She's been shown as being close friends with Junior ever since meeting him at the end of Madame Blueberry, though their relationship is more Like Brother and Sister than anything close to Ship Tease.
- The Pollyanna: Madame Blueberry shows her as part of a poor family whose house had been broken and are living off of pie. Despite this, she remains optimistic and counts her blessings, even dedicating a song to her thankfulness.
- Satellite Character: She rarely plays any other role other than being a friend of Junior and Laura.
- Vocal Dissonance: Despite being a small child, Annie appears with a teenage girl voice in Silly Little Thing Called Love and Sweetpea Beauty. Justified due to her then-VA being a teenager during the videos' recording sessions.
Lovey
- Voiced by: Gail Freeman
A lady asparagus who tends to accompany Archibald.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: 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.
Word of God has confirmed that she made a cameo in Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie. - Official Couple: With Archibald; in "Larry's Lagoon" she's said to be his wife, and all other times she's appeared she's paired off with him.
The Peach
"I'm from the IRS, and I've come to tax your-" (Larry shuts the door)
- Voiced by: Mike NawrockiDebut: Are You My Neighbor?
A minor character who has a couple speaking roles in Silly Songs.
- The Cameo: He has a brief appearance in Larry-Boy & the Fib from Outer Space!, at the scene where the citizens crowd around the tower to see Fib at the top with Junior in hand.
- The Quiet One: He barely talks in the series. He first talks in "The Hairbrush Song" in Are You My Neighbor?. Again in The Toy That Saved Christmas. And again in Merry Larry and the True Light of Christmas.
George
- Voiced by: Phil VischerDebut: Rack, Shack, and Benny
A postman who tells stories a lot.
- The Cameo: He has a brief appearance in Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie as a fisherman.
- The Storyteller: He is the narrator in both Rack, Shack, and Benny and The Toy that Saved Christmas. The latter uses him telling bedtime stories to his granddaughter Annie as a Framing Device, and he is also tells the story of Christmas to the protagonists in that episode.
Esther
- Voiced by: Jessica Kaplan (speaking) & Pamela Thomas (singing)
The title character of Esther... The Girl Who Became Queen. After she becomes queen, she learns of a plot against her people and has to do something about it.
- Affirmative Action Girl: Was intended as this, but it didn't pan out, because of technical difficulties with animating her hair.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: The reason she hasn't become a series regular is that her hair was apparently too tricky to deal with.
- Face Your Fears: The whole point of her story arc; she is the only person who can save her people and she has to do some pretty scary things to do so.
- Non-Standard Character Design: She was designed specifically to be beautiful. This somehow led to her hair being a lot silkier than most Veggies' hair, and her eyes look nothing like the eyes of any other Veggie either.
The French Peas
- Voiced by: Phil Vischer (Phillipe and Christophe Pea only in Beauty and the Beet), Mike Narwocki (Jean-Claude), Chris Olsen (Christophe Pea; Dave and the Giant Pickle to Very Silly Songs!)Debut: Dave and the Giant Pickle
A group of peas, who are French.
- Expy: Of the French knights in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
- French Jerk: In their debut episode. They've mostly mellowed out since then, but still have their moments.
- I Shall Taunt You: Their go-to role when antagonists.
- No Name Given: Downplayed. Two of them have names (Phillipe and Jean-Claude), but for the most part, individual peas are nameless.
Larry-Boy villains
Fibrillious Minimus ("Fib")
- Voiced by: Tim Gregory
The main antagonist of Larry-Boy! And the Fib from Outer Space.
- Anthropomorphic Personification: The Fib is a very literal personification of a lie that is kept going. He starts off small, but physically grows along with the lie, until he's got control of Junior very much the same way the lie has.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Junior lies enough that by the climax, Fib can crush cars by stepping on them and climb onto buildings with ease. Conversely, telling the truth causes him to shrink to death.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: 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.
- Blatant Lies: At first he only grows a little, but once he begins towering over Junior and grows feet, Fib still claims that he isn't growing whatsoever. He is Fib after all.
- The Corrupter: 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.
- Death by Irony: He's powered by lies. The way to defeat him is for the person who lied in the first place to tell the truth.
- I'm a Humanitarian: The climax has Fib trying (and nearly succeeding) to eat Junior and Larry-Boy... alive.
- Karmic Death: The only one able to defeat him is that kid he's been carrying around for half the episode.
- Kick the Dog: During the climax, Junior's parents join the crowd looking up at Fib atop the water tower; Scooter warns them that the scene isn't pretty. When they gaze up anyway, they see their son in Fib's clutches, and Fib tauntingly holds Junior out for his parents to see. He was likely about to eat Junior, and he wanted to ensure that his family was watching.
- Knight of Cerebus: Due to being one of the more manipulative villains on the show and for trying to eat Junior and Larry-Boy alive.
- Meaningful Name: His name Fibrillious Minimus basically means “little lie” and Junior’s initial lie seems small at first and just keeps growing like Fib.
- Starter Villain: The villain of Larry-Boy's first adventure.
- Unexplained Accent: Despite being "The Fib from OUTER SPACE", he talks in a Joisey like dialect.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: 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.
- Vague Age: He is referred to as a kid a few times, but it's unknown what his actual age is.
- Would Hurt a Child: He attempts to eat Junior at one point.
The Rumor Weed
- Voiced by: Gail FreemanDebut: Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed
The title antagonist of Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed.
- Anthropomorphic Personification: Just like Fib was the personification of a lie, the Rumor Weed is this to rumors and gossip. The more the rumor about Alfred gets spread around, the more the Rumor Weed keeps popping up all other the place, causing just as much damage as the rumor itself.
- Death by Irony: She's powered by rumors. Once kinder words start getting spread around, it kills her.
- Evil Is Hammy: During her Villain Song and her encounter with Larry-Boy in the sewers.
- Gossip Evolution: Her modus operandi.
- Hive Mind: All the little weeds seen throughout are connected by the "Mother Weed" underground.
- Large Ham: She definitely enjoys hamming up her Villain Song and her declaration of triumph to Larry-Boy in the sewers.
- Lightning Can Do Anything: The Rumor Weed was created when a potted plant fell onto a telephone line, shocked with electricity caused by a woman gossiping over the phone with someone.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: According to Phil Vischer, she was based on Joan Rivers. Unfortunately, many viewers didn't get the joke and thought she was an offensive stereotype of gossipy women.
- Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Same reason as Fib above, minus the Eaten Alive part.
- Villain Song: "The Rumor Weed Song".
- Your Head Asplode: A family-friendly version in the climax. Her head blooms into a flower when she dies.
The Bad Apple
- Voiced by: Cynthia WestDebut: Larry-Boy and the Bad Apple
The title antagonist of Larry-Boy and the Bad Apple.
- Alto Villainess: A very smooth, deep speaking and singing voice.
- Ambiguously Lesbian: When flattering Mayor Blueberry, her compliments come off as flirty. She even winks at her.
- Ambiguously Bi: While it is most obvious with Mayor Blueberry, her dialogue comes off as kind of flirty with everyone she tempts.
- Avenging the Villain: Her motivation for conquering Bumblyburg is because her great uncle Ephiram Apply was banished after his own plan to tempt his own way into ruling the town is foiled.
- Bad Boss: Threatens Curly the Worm just by pointing a spider leg at him when he says Bumblyburg will be theirs instead of hers. He changes it real quick.
- Baddie Flattery: One of the methods she uses to "divide and conquer" the town.
- Breaking Old Trends: She was the first Larry-Boy villain to not explicitly suffer from Death by Irony in any capacity, as she was non-lethally defeated by being flung out of Bumblyburg when her own webs trapped her legs to Apply's Fun House 2 with Larry-Boy himself acting as a makeshift catapult.
- Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: 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 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 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.
- The Corrupter: Her whole schtick, being the herald of temptation.
- Excessive Evil Eyeshadow: Hers is green, matching her leaf and cape.
- Faux Affably Evil: She uses flattery and temptation to take over the town, but is rather mean and self-centered.
- High Collar of Doom: On her cape.
- Meaningful Name: She's a literal bad apple.
- Ominous Opera Cape: A green one which she uses to cover her robotic legs.
- Spider Limbs: The metallic base she's connected to has four robotic spider-legs that can extend to any length.
- The Vamp: 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.
- Villainous Breakdown: 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.
- Villain Song: "Temptation".
- Would Hurt a Child: Her attempt to crush the Obadiah statue would've resulted in a mother and her infant getting crushed as well had Larry-Boy not stopped it.
Awful Alvin
- Alliterative Name: His name is Awful Alvin.
- Angry Eyebrows: He has an army of these to keep people holding onto anger.
- Big Bad: The most frequently appearing villain in The VeggieTales Show for Larry Boy
- Canon Immigrant: You bet, he's immigrated straight from the alternate canon Larry Boy cartoon.
- Evil Laugh: He has these most of the time.
- For the Evulz: He has made the villainous dance of villainy.
- Wolverine Publicity: What brought him into canon.

- Blade Below the Shoulder: He has a buzz-saw built into his arm.

- Remembered I Could Fly: In a situation where his saw would really come in handy, he doesn't think to use it until Larry accidentally bumps his arm.
- Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: 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 the rest of the cast seems to be aware something's missing from the picture.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: No one seems the least bit perturbed that he is a talking toy. Even the fact that Louie seems designed to resemble a human in a world of talking vegetables goes uncommented on; the only person to note that he's the only one who has arms is Louie himself.
Khalil
- Voiced by: Tim HodgeDebut: Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie
A half-caterpillar half-worm who was introduced in Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie. For tropes pertaining to his role in the film, see here.
Since then he has made several appearances throughout the series.

Shows up in An Easter Carol as the "visitor" who is meant to guide Ebeneezer Nezzer to redemption.
- Animate Inanimate Object: She's a music box.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: At the start she acts rather mean to Mr. Nezzer and snarks at him every other line, but she really is there to help him and when he really does have a breakdown she tries to comfort him.
- Meaningful Name: She's there to teach Nezzer about the hope of Easter.
- Stepford Snarker: According to bonus material on the ''An Easter Carol'' DVD, part of the reason for her attitude is that she is aware her time is short.
- Took a Level in Kindness: After Mr. Nezzer becomes incredibly upset over learning that 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.
- Unexplained Accent: Due to her voice actress, she has an Australian accent, in an episode set in London, where most of the cast have unexplained American accents.
Snoodle Doo
- Voiced by: Phillip SpoonerDebut: A Snoodle's Tale
The protagonist of the short "A Snoodle's Tale", who after being born into the world decides to try to find out what his purpose in life is.
- All of the Other Reindeer: The other Snoodles are bigger and stronger and better than him at just about everything, and they make fun of him because of it.
- All There in the Manual: According to Marc Vulcano, his name came about only during the show's production because the animators needed a reference point for his model.
- Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: He figures that maybe since he has wings, he could be good at flying. It doesn't work. He figures that since he has paint maybe he's good at art. That doesn't work either. And so forth.

The Elders of the Razzberry Forest
- Voiced by: Mike Nawrocki (Head Elder)Debut: Lord of the Beans
Wise trees in Lord of the Beans, whom the Fellowship of the Bean visit to ask what they should do with the Bean.
- Blowing a Raspberry: Their native tongue (get it?).
- Corrupted Character Copy: Most obviously, Lord Falaminion Tereglith in particular takes after Treebeard. So, it's a bit surprising when he's revealed to be in cahoots with Scaryman, the Saruman expy.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Laugh at their language and they'll imprison you on a platform over the forest canopy with no intention of letting you go.
- Everything's Sparkly with Jewelry: Lord Falaminion Tereglith is wearing a beautiful necklace and Randalf comments on it. Apparently the ancient tree has an eye for beautiful things. It was given as a bribe by Scaryman.
- Evil All Along: They're helping Scaryman.
- Karma Houdini: They never get punished for betraying the heroes to Scaryman.
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: They sent Toto to the Land of Woe to get ambushed by Scaryman. This wound up leading to Scaryman's defeat by Toto's uncle and Toto deciding to use the Bean to help the people suffering in the Land of Woe.
- Overly Long Name: Lord Falaminion Tereglith, Son of Therabil Elithimon.
- Treacherous Advisor: They sent Toto to the Land of Woe so that Scaryman could ambush him while he was alone.
- When Trees Attack: They don't take making fun of their language very kindly and imprison the Fellowship after Ear-A-Corn laughs at them. When the Fellowship escapes, the trees start throwing fruit at them.
- Wise Tree: The reason Randalf decides to go and ask them for advice concerning the Bean. Bad idea.
