The kitchen countertop is the setting for VeggieTales cartoons. Where various veggies and fruits act out their own teleplays. Veggie Tales is a tv show for children. Also it’s a Christian show with a fun and wholesome message. Since the first episode aired, I’ve been a fan of the show. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen the show, but there are some Veggie Tales Characters that stick with you. I picked my favourite veggie tales characters. This will be a fun blog.
Veggie Tales has reminded us all of the importance of being a child of the King. They have taught us about the value of good friends and the danger of greedy pirates. If not for a few of the greatest characters in entertainment history, this would not have been conceivable at all. Here is my list of best Veggie Tales characters.
Table of Contents
Mr. Lunt
Who is Mr. Lunt? Mr. Lunt is the cactus who lives alongside the other Veggie Tales characters on the countertop. (And NO, he is not simply a cactus with a face drawn on it.

Ashley Olsen voiced Sue. She was one of the Veggie Tales Characters that would always get into trouble. She was always the bad guy who would trick Bob and Larry.
My favourite part about “Sweetpea Sue” was watching her get into all kinds of trouble. My mind wandered to the possibility of her as an actual person. Also i loved hearing her say, “I don’t care,” and then getting into more trouble than she could handle.

You can’t help but love Penelope. She has the cutest little voice. And is always trying to help out Bob and Larry with their latest plot to trick their neighbour. Of course, she is a little shy, but that’s why she’s the perfect character to throw a little shyness into the mix.
