I honestly thought that Mr. Nezzer was just a Zucchini. I don't think he has a race or anything ---he's just a Zucchini with a deep voice.Just blabbing out my opinion ^^
We want the old veggie tales back not the new owners Because I feel some of the Christian values and the meaning of it was not much there Like it use to be.
Plus I grew up watching this stuff…. Did not know it came out in 1993 I only found out till 1997. I was 13 back then. But I like cheeseburger song as well and the song is it queen Esther sang The battle is not ours I love it all but those are my two favourite ones 😊
I never knew Mr. Nezer was a black stereotype. I didn't know that about Oogie Boogie either. It seems odd that Lunt, Pa and the French Peas got through
First of all how was Wayne Brady's character in a noahs ark a white guy for one its a veggieyable and two considering everyone on earth come from noahs line how could noahs family be only white,
For the same reason that Mr. Nezzer’s character was considered a Black voice done by a White man. Also, Shem being the progenitor of the lines of the Israelites and the Hebrews, it is disingenuous to have his voice actor be Wayne Brady for this same bleeting attack against Phil Vischer for acting a ”Black” voice. Double standard.
I know! I mean Phil's neither Spanish, French, British, or old grandpa, but DreamWorks let that slide!?! and another thing, I'm cool with Rob Paulsen joining the cast, but they could've at least got Kevin Michael Richardson to voice Mr. Nezzer
Wait, Mr. Nezzer, is BLACK? He’s a zucchini, I never thought black man I always just thought sassy rich buissness man. So the peas get through, mr Lunt gets through, achabald gets through, but mr. Nezzer is the problem? They didn’t even get a character who had a similar personality. The new guy is a grouch who hates everything. Mr. Nezzer on the other hand was just a clueless teddy bear of a zucchini who didn’t understand what he was doing wrong. He dose stuff because he doesn’t know better and that’s why makes him great.
That is a really stupid reason. Don't anyone DARE tell me it's to "avoid racism". Telling someone they have to be a specific color in order to do a voice impression is INCREDIBLY racist. Hypocrites much, Dreamworks?
Come on, Dreamworks!! Let Mr. Nezzer be a part of the show! He's actually one of my favorites. He's a good guy, he's just misunderstood and portrayed as a bad guy.
RIP Mr. Nezzer 1930-2014 Edit: This comment is now outdated due to the new VeggieTales Show coming this fall. Mr. Nezzer will make an appearance, which means that he is alive.
Looney Tunes Girl well it saved him from getting the horrifying redesign treatment that all the other main characters got (Minus Mr Lunt whose only real change was that his gold tooth was missing) I shudder to think what he would of looked like if he was in the Dreamworks series
I never even thought of him as black. I thought as him only a zucchini. I actually thought he was based of a white guy due to him playing the Scrouge. 😆
And now we have Rob Paulsen. Don't get me wrong, Rob's a legend. He can have a mouth at times but he can also be EXTRAORDINARILY sweet and kind to his fans. But... Mr. Nezzer should've stayed. Glad Mr. Lunt squeaked by but being politically correct is killing this nation. Now the police can't even do their job without people raising a fuss about skin color. Just obey the cops and do as they say! Or better yet, DON'T do anything to attract police attention! And just let Phil be Nezzer! You think a 4 year old is going to really care what skin color the guy doing the voice of the funny Zucchini is?
I am black and abosolutely looved Mr. NEZZER. However, please do not equate being single out or God forbid, SHOT by the police because SOMEONE ELSE has issues with race or self control. That remark from white people is just insensitive and ignorant. Blame the wife for getting slapped around by her husband because she burned dinner or blame the kid for getting a black eye by his mother because he was playing in his room too loud. ABUSE IS THE PROBLEM! anyone who feels entitiled to abuse another to gain/keep control of another is wrong period. The Privaledge of NOT being in any of these positions does not always afford you empathy.
@@benjaminthemandmsgeneral5376No, the person playing Junior in VeggieTales in the House is Tress MacNeil, she’s a woman. I personally don’t understand why they changed voices for Junior, but at least they got Lisa back for the VeggieTales show
What confuses me is that Nezzer's voice may have been based off a black man's voice, but there isn't really anything about his character that signifies he is "black." Whereas Mr. Lunt -- if there's any character that deserved this treatment it was Mr. Lunt lmao.
But Phil's version of Mr. Nezzer was the voice I grow up with. And since used another actor to play Mr. Nezzer it in my opinion ruin the way I think about Mr. Nezzer.
@@veggietalesonyt9282 is there really 2 Mr. Nezzers Nebbie K Nezzer from Rack Shack & Benny & Wally P Nezzer from The Toy That Saved Christmas since both Nezzer dudes r twin brothers
It's this kind of thing that makes me want to list a complaint. And I'm pretty sure that the fans, particularly the kids, aren't gonna care that a white voice actor is sounding like a black steriotype for the character of Mr Nezzer. Seriously, someone ought convince Dreamworks to let Nezzer back on.
What bothered me and probs many people is that no one clocked him as black cus he doesnt even sound like a black stereotype. Like if that is stereotyping someone then the person who made the voice is just bad at insulting/imitating people. It makes more sense now that i know he's based off of oogie boogie
Wait Mr. Nezzer was seen as Black? I thought he was just green I never got the impression that he was a certain race. So I found this a little silly. If anyone's a "race" it's the french peas and Archibald (British).
It’s funny because Mr. Nezzer’s voice was an imitation of Oogie-Boogie and we all know who voiced him. So having the guy who inspired Mr. Nezzer’s voice be the new voice of the character would’ve been kind of hilarious in hindsight.
I’m all for racial equality and proper racial representation. But I wish to have the Mr.Nezzer I grew up with. I didn’t care what the race is if it is glorifying the Savior.
TLDW: Mr Nezzer was fired in an act of discrimination against his multi-racial background (black and zukini), and now plans to sue the human race. (I hope peoplecan tell this is a joke).
The Lion King Hyenas were probably the earliest form of racial programming in my life because the Lions where light and where "good". Even though they block the Hyenas from doing what animals do; eat other animal- all the time. They are literally starving but are bad? They were dark and Woopi voice acted one so it just feels like racial profiling. But honestly the whole thing the Lion King was stolen from the anime Kimba the White lion. It was literally the biggest plagiarism in the history of plagarism. But Disney has done racist stuff on their own just watch Peter Pan or Onward.
Reverse discrimination? Are you kidding? This dude had the balls to admit that he based Mr. Nezzer's voice on a BLACK STEREOTYPE and instead of finding a qualified black voice actor he decided to just trash the whole character? What a tool. I used to adore this show as a child and always thought I would show it to my children someday even though I'm an atheist because the messages of acceptance and belonging were so important to me, and so is finding positive examples of ALL religions for my child, should she look into becoming religious some day. But not anymore! He can go right into the bigot trash heap with Rowling and Orson Scott Card.
Are you talking about Phil? Because he wanted to keep Mr. Nezzer on the show (and did in 2019, when he replaced him with a black actor), but it was Dreamworks that removed Mr. Nezzer, not Phil.
Ooooof, this is rough to listen to. Just accept it Phil and move on. The more you rant about it and pressure a half indian guy to do a bad indian accent, the worse it makes you look in this.
Ichabeezer is just identical to Mr. Nezzer & why he was kicked out of the show in 2014 because he was not that good of a character & Ichabeezer is voiced by Rob Paulsen
.. no.. buuuuttt it gives black actors and voice actors work.. in a field where they are rarely employed.. i mean they can't decide what white writers will write.. but they cannn at least be chosen to play and get payed for the part that is being written about their race.. i am more then ok with this.
How in the world did the French peas get through?
Ok
+MKSfan14 Absolutely. This is why I don't listen to all the "thats racist" comments, as blacks have it great compared to almost any other ethnicity.
ABSW9119 white, they're considered white
Or Mr. Lunt don't forget about Mr. Lunt. Dreamworks are white washers to no end
French people are white.
I honestly thought that Mr. Nezzer was just a Zucchini. I don't think he has a race or anything ---he's just a Zucchini with a deep voice.Just blabbing out my opinion ^^
I know, right? I just think it’s funny people are overthinking a fucking zucchini.

I think he’s getting a little big for his britches.
Hey thats a quote from Mr nesser chocolate

I'm sitting here cracking up. I loved Mr. Nezzer. I was never offended 😂😂😂😂😂😂
& this is why I'm sticking to the old Veggie Tales.
Yes! That and the old Junior voice that they replaced in Veggietales in the House/City.
We want the old veggie tales back not the new owners Because I feel some of the Christian values and the meaning of it was not much there Like it use to be.

I love it all but those are my two favourite ones 😊
I never knew Mr. Nezer was a black stereotype. I didn't know that about Oogie Boogie either. It seems odd that Lunt, Pa and the French Peas got through
Oogie Boogie was supposed to be black? The Oogie Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas?
I really like the Mr. Nezzer, i like his voice, he is better then Mr. Ichabezzer
I never ever associated Mr. Nezzer's voice with a black guy, and I still can't even picture it.
Me either
"If there's an ethnic voice, it has to be done by an actor of that ethnicity." Then how come Wayne Brady can play a white guy in "Noah's Ark"?
Leaf-Razor That's because DreamWorks has the power to break its own rules on its own shows.
First of all how was Wayne Brady's character in a noahs ark a white guy for one its a veggieyable and two considering everyone on earth come from noahs line how could noahs family be only white,
For the same reason that Mr. Nezzer’s character was considered a Black voice done by a White man.
Also, Shem being the progenitor of the lines of the Israelites and the Hebrews, it is disingenuous to have his voice actor be Wayne Brady for this same bleeting attack against Phil Vischer for acting a ”Black” voice.
Double standard.
How about that Jordan peele played a white boy in the captain underpants movie dreamworks was ok with that but not here huh?
I’m pretty sure that Wayne Brady’s character in VeggieTales was black coded just like the angels from Jonah. Just look at the hair of the character
Does this also explain why Madame Blueberry's French accent was taken away from her?
Different voice actress
I never thought of Veggietales as being any particular race. Kids just don’t identify these things
So DreamWorks will let Phil do Pa Grape, Archie Asparagus, Mr. Lunt, and the French Peas, but not Mr. Nezzer? That's kinda messed up.
I know! I mean Phil's neither Spanish, French, British, or old grandpa, but DreamWorks let that slide!?!
and another thing, I'm cool with Rob Paulsen joining the cast, but they could've at least got Kevin Michael Richardson to voice Mr. Nezzer
rodundarrIV Right. Pa Grape is Jewish.
***** Oh! of course, thanks man :)
rodundarrIV Check out the latest podcast. Phil responds to criticism of In the House at 15:18 to 29:58 and 37:37 to 44:35.
***** I hope he doesn't say anything too harsh

THANK YOU! Dreamworks better check themselves... Phil Lamar is a black man and he voiced acted samurai jack
Never knew Mr. Nezzer was black. I thought he was just southern, like from Mississippi or Georgia or something.
Mr. Nezzer always sounds he’s on the verge of crying.
Come on, Dreamworks!! Let Mr. Nezzer be a part of the show! He's actually one of my favorites. He's a good guy, he's just misunderstood and portrayed as a bad guy.
Also, the dude is just an actor playing roles. Doesn’t mean he’s a bad guy.

Sadly, nope. He did come back, but it wasn't Phil playing him.
In my opinion, Nezzar was the perfect villain in VeggieTales.
So that's why we got a weird cranky dude in Veggietales in the House/City!
I never even thought of him as black. I thought as him only a zucchini. I actually thought he was based of a white guy due to him playing the Scrouge. 😆
I’m on the verge of tears. I GREW UP WITH Phil as Mr. Nezzer! Urrrgggg why Dream Works?!?!? WHYYYYYYY!!! I’m just upset about it...
i think DreamWorks needs to be sued for good
Mr. Nezzer is coming back for the upcoming TBN VeggieTales Show. You can check it out on the trailer on the official RUclips channel.
Always thought Mr. Nezzer was just another white vegetable. Never actually thought it was black with that bald Wall Street hairdo.
I miss mr.nezzer
I can't believe dreamworks got an actual zucchini to play Ichabeezer thats so cool
Veggie tales was my entire childhood this show is legendary
And now we have Rob Paulsen.
Don't get me wrong, Rob's a legend. He can have a mouth at times but he can also be EXTRAORDINARILY sweet and kind to his fans. But... Mr. Nezzer should've stayed.

i used to thought mr nezzer was a jalapeño
Mr Nezzer shouldn't have been kicked off of VeggieTales
😠Disrespectful!😆
NEVER kick a Character off the show like that.

mr. lunt is latin but he did'nt get a replacement that was just like squidward.
That's just stupid
This kinda reads like The Problem with Apu. Good on them for being honest about things and doing the right thing.
I never assumed any veggie was a race per se. I just heard a dewp voice
I wonder if the peas will be cancelled
Is Mr Lunt voiced by a Hispanic, and is Pa grape voiced by a Jew?
And Archibald voiced by a British guy
“I’m not sure if you know this skye, but I’m not black”
Mr. Nezzer was black???? I never thought of him as anything but southern lol

Did the thought of hiring an African American to play Mr. Nezzer ever become an option? Just wondering...
It would not sound the same as Phil though.
