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.
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.
His “face” is a small patch of green, leaf-like material that covers the large bump on his head, giving him the appearance of having a small face.) Even though he is a cactus and not a vegetable or fruit, he is still one of the main veggie tales characters.
Mrs. Godfrey
Mrs. Godfrey is a character appearing in the Veggie Tales franchise. Voiced by Andi Chapman, she was the mother of Junior Asparagus and the sister of Mr. Lunt. She was the wife of Mr.
Lunt and the owner of the Asparagus farm. Where she and her husband ran a veggie delivery service. Also she was a kind woman, who always tried to help others, but she was also a bit forgetful.
Mrs. Godfrey is a motherly, housewife-like character. She always has cookies and milk on hand for her family. And acts as a voice of reason in most circumstances. Often, they encourage her to scold the kids when they do something wrong.
But usually ends up scolding herself for not being a good enough mother. As a result, Mrs. Godfrey always keeps a smile on her face and generally keeps the house running.
X the Owl
X the Owl is the de facto leader of the Veggie Tales crew. As a Veggie Tales character, he is one of the most human-sounding and behaving ones. Also, he is also the only main character a child did not dub his voice.
He is the one who leads the crew in prayer and helps LarryBoy save the day. His character is based on the voice of the late John Ritter. Who played the Dad’s role in the live-action sitcom Three’s Company. X is a parody of the letters X and Z.
He is the inventor of many tools in the series. Such as the Washing-O-Matic, the Lettuce-Phone, and the Reuben-O-Matic. Also he is the guardian of the “treasures of the internet” and is the protector of Bob the Tomato. Owl is an introvert and often seen by himself.

He is a hard-working middle-class tomato which is the head of the household and the owner of Marzipan’s Market. Bob is a caring father to Junior Asparagus, his son. Mike Nawrocki voices Bob.
He is similar in appearance to the famous Tomato, Beefsteak. Bob’s only rival is Larry the Cucumber, a foil to Bob’s straightforwardness. He is a good friend of both Larry and Mr. Lunt. And usually gets along with Junior Asparagus, although he can be a bit annoyed by his antics. He is a proud Christian, and his catchphrase is “Bob’s your uncle!”
Larryboy’s Mom
Larryboy’s Mom is a large, purple-skinned woman with long, flowing, blonde hair. Georgia Engel voices her. She is a very good cook and originally wore a pink apron. Mom has a very large torso, and we usually see her face on the top of her torso.
We rarely saw her walking in the series. She is the wife of Larryboy’s father and the mother of Larryboy and his sister, Laura. We often see Mom cooking a meal for the family or baking a cake. She and Larryboy’s father are a very loving couple. Georgia Engel voices her. Her only role in the franchise is to reprimand Larry Jr. for his actions.
Junior Asparagus
Junior Asparagus is a young, green male asparagus. What is the name of one of the Veggie Tales’ most prominent characters?’ Bob the Tomato’s best friend and sidekick, he is also a character in his own right. As a bonus, he’s the show’s youngest protagonist.

And loves to play practical jokes and pranks. Especially on his neighbour, Jimmy Gourd (who lives in a gourd on the countertop and is always trying to get rid of Junior and his friends).
Mr. Nezzer
Mr. Nezzer is a vegetable Veggie Tales Characters who act as the other vegetables’ manager. Though he is broccoli, his name is a pun on the vegetable “celery,” though he is broccoli. He is a fervent believer in the idea that vegetables might be considered human beings in their own right.
And often lectures his friends about the importance of following one’s dreams. And also the importance of being a vegetarian, which he is. He has a wife named Mrs. Nezzer and a daughter named Laura. Phil Vischer voices him.
He is a bratty, spoiled, rich kid who lives with his doting parents, butler, and maidHe is a greedy, ungrateful child who frequently gets into difficulties as a result of his attitude. His name is a play on the word “nazzer,” a British slang term for an annoying person.

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.
King George
King George the Second is the King of the VeggieTales cartoon series. George is a carrot who has a crown and a cape. They often depicted him as a dimwitted, self-absorbed, selfish, and power-hungry individual who enjoys hearing himself talk.

Also, he has a pet rock named Rocky. Phil Vischer voices Bucky.

Pa Grape
Pa Grape is the most mature of the Veggie Tales characters. He is a bearded purple carrot and is voiced by Phil Vischer. Pa Grape is the paternal figure of the group, not only because he is the eldest. But also because he has more worldly experience than the other characters.
He usually wears a blue suit coat, a white shirt, and a red bow tie. This is similar to how Bob the Tomato is the oldest character but appears the most youthful. Pa Grape is married to Mema Grape, and together they have a daughter named Gretchen.

Dr. Seuss’s “Cindy Lou Who” is a strong influence on her appearance. Rachel Butera voices Laura. Laura is the oldest of the Carrot sisters. She’s the complete antithesis of her younger sister Lola. Laura is bossy, mean, and the disciplinarian of the family. On the other hand, Lola, is bubbly and carefree. Laura is the only sister who can drive, and she is the least compassionate of the three.

When she is not in the kitchen cooking, she is usually sitting in front of a TV, reading a trashy romance novel. She is a big fan of soap operas (which is why she is a fan of the TV show “As the Stomach Turns”).

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.
