Legitimately agree. It was their final episode animated in Softimage before their transition to Maya 3D, and it feels like its own swan song for that program. Amazing visuals, fluidly animated characters, the whole 9 yards. Loved the writing too. The very next episode after that was King George and the Ducky, and uh... Let's just say the animation in that episode _still_ somehow manages to give me nightmares well over 20 years after I first watched it.
This era was when Larryboy peaked for me. His design had darker shades, his shape was more sharp, he was more serious. The only downside to this era is that he’s completely useless at stopping the antagonists.
Out of all the VeggieTales episodes that could have gotten a movie made out of, Larry Boy is one of them. I love The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything movie, but they already had their shine in Jonah.
I've always thought they should have gone down hard with a Larry Boy movie. It should have been the 2nd movie to capitalize on the Superhero genre that started being more in what 2008? Not Pirates. That kinda bankrupted them. Pirates of Caribbean wasn't even all that popular when it came out, and I don't even remember the characters being liked even when Jonah came out. The caterpillar was all anyone ever talked about with that movie. It was all Spider-Man 3 and Batman Begins in 2008 and it's a shame they don't do Larry Boy the movie to this day. But now they are hardcore kids or well... baby friendly mode unfortunately. Same with Bibleman...
The FIb From Outer Space was always my favorite but man Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed is fantastic too. Two of the best things to come out of the 90s imo
The biggest problems with the initial two films is the role of Larry-Boy. At times, He feels like a background character in his own movies. And the fact both films share way too many similar plot beats. Rumor Weed edges it out purely because of it’s execution.
I feel like him coming across as a background character at times is honestly fine because of how strong the side characters are, especially the rumor weed. I do agree that the plots being so similar is definitely the weakest part of the episodes though.
I actually think that was originally supposed to be the point. Larry-Boy is a parody of what we usually think superheroes are. He doesn't do all that much heroic. He's incompetent. Even if you watch the music video at the end of the Fib episode, a lot of the clips they show are of Larry-Boy failing, panicking, or outright being a jerk and wanting to quit the mission. It's supposed to be funny.
Yeah, I don't know why I got my first nightmare from both of these Larryboy specials. I was perfectly fine when watching them. Then once I went to bed, my nightmare starts with me rewatching the fib special and a giant rumor weed grabbing me from the end of the hallway in my house and trying to eat me. This was about… 15 or so years ago. But, it was my first nightmare. So, it's a permanent memory to me.
As someone who's recently gotten back into Veggietales and binging the series as a 24-year-old to relive old memories, it's really cool that people are still making videos about this show. And really good videos at that, this is one of the best first videos to come out of a channel I've seen in recent memory. That's a sub from me.
5:38 wait whistling dog, we're just moving past that? wouldn't that be an absolute nightmare for a town of living vegetables? DO DOGS EXIST IN VEGGIETALES LORE??? I wonder if cats exist, would that make cats terrified of Larry?
Fr I’m actually EXTREMELY furious at phil and Mike for that concept and wish I could go back and time and make them forgot about the fib and create a less scary villain
Fun fact: Bumblyburg changed its look and appearance a lot due to damage to city property done by the giant Fib and all the other villains over the years
Of all the Larryboy episodes that they made, I mainly like all four of the ones that are part of the original Veggietales, I did sort of like the cartoon series a bit along with 321 penguins, but I decided that I prefer him cgi, (which I mainly like Veggietales over the other two direct-to-video shows: 321 penguins and the cartoon Larryboy). That would be of course Larryboy and the fib from outer space, Larryboy and the rumour weed, Larryboy and the bad apple and the league of incredible vegetables. Any other ones from Veggietales that are my favourites (and that I only like too) are where’s god when I’m scared, god wants me to forgive them, are you my neighbour, rack shack & Benny, Dave and the giant pickle, the toy that saved Christmas, very silly songs, Josh and the big wall, Madame blueberry, the end of silliness, king George and the ducky, Esther the girl who became queen, Lyle the kindly Viking, the ultimate silly song countdown, Jonah a Veggietales movie, the star of Christmas, the wonderful world of auto-tainment, the ballad of little Joe, an Easter carol, a snoodle’s tale, sumo of the opera, for bonus favourites Bob and Larry’s how to draw and veg-o-Rama jukebox, Duke and the great pie war, Minnesota Cuke and the search for Samson’s hairbrush, lord of the beans, Sheerluck Holmes and the golden ruler, Gideon tuba warrior, Moe and the big exit, god made you special, the pirates who don’t do anything movie, Saint Nicholas, twas the night before Easter, princess and the popstar, the penniless princess and the little house that stood.
Both villains used some form of sin to gain power. Once the people who gave them power corrected what they had done, those villains lost their source of power. The fib fed on Junior's lie until he told the truth and took away his strength. The rumor about Alfred that the weed spread was overpowered when people started spreading nice things about Alfred. Since the rumor was made it into a big monster, it couldn't do a thing.
This is truly the classic and legendary LarryBoy that produced the awesomeness of the character. However, the one thing that bugs me is how Junior Asparagus is the one who defeats Both the Fib and the Rumor Weed. I understand it makes sense in context, but it kind of degrades LarryBoy's final role in the plot. At least in my opinion. LarryBoy wouldn't get most of the credit until The Bad Apple episode.
So in a way of saying it and with all do respect, is Larry-Boy almost like a rip off of Batman (my favourite superhero and favourite fictional character)? It’s honestly ok, because lots of superheroes are based off the Dark Knight.
perhaps my biggest pet peeve with the early era of larryboy was that he wasn't victorious, he didnt actually save the day or beat the bad guy THAT credit goes to junior asparagus, now before anyone says it YES i get there was a reason behind all that but why couldn't they have written the theme of the story to revolve AROUND larry boy like they did in the cartoon adventures...Michael bay wasnt even a thing yet and ALREADY he was inspiring other filmmakers also whatever drunken moronic low life ignormous came up with the idea of the fib character, id like to give em what for for traumatizing my childhood! what were they on they they even concepted such a character!
Children dream to be Spider-Man
Boys dream to be Superman
Men dream to be Batman
Legends dream to be Larryboy
Not gonna lie, Rumor Weed is my personal favorite Larry-Boy episode. The music, the cinematography, the animation,
even the pacing felt cinematic.
Legitimately agree. It was their final episode animated in Softimage before their transition to Maya 3D, and it feels like its own swan song for that program. Amazing visuals, fluidly animated characters, the whole 9 yards. Loved the writing too. The very next episode after that was King George and the Ducky, and uh...

Honestly awesome. Well done! I’m so glad someone else recognizes the impact Larry-Boy has on our childhoods.
This era was when Larryboy peaked for me. His design had darker shades, his shape was more sharp, he was more serious. The only downside to this era is that he’s completely useless at stopping the antagonists.
I agree. It’s always Junior. He stopped Fib, and him and Laura stopped the Rumor weed.
Rumor Reed terrified me as a kid. I love it.
2:43 fun fact: this episode was released in April 1997 the same year I was born.
Wow. Two reasons to celebrate.
@@setheatontheautobot4586 yep
Out of all the VeggieTales episodes that could have gotten a movie made out of, Larry Boy is one of them.
I love The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything movie, but they already had their shine in Jonah.
The Rumour Weed Song man! That’s one of my favourite VeggieTales songs and one of the most memorable in the whole series!
4:27
“Larry boy and the fib from outer space” is a 10/10 perfect episode
Larry-Boy for life.
As some who rewatched Larry Boy I'm so glad this video exists

Larry-Boy And the Fib From Outer Space is my favorite Veggietales episode!
Same!
@@shewolfcub3 Cooo
@@shewolfcub3 Cool
An absolutely astounding first video. Great job 👏
BRO IVE BEEN WANTING A VIDEO LIKE THIS THANKS SO MUCH

Honestly, I'll give those things a pass since they knew to switch it up afterwards. Still among my favorites of the series.

Awesome job my favorite larryboy episode is 1997 larryboy and the fib from outer space
That’s the same year I was born.
Good job with this one. Can't wait for part two.

Rumor Weed was also the last VeggieTales episode produced in the 1990s as well as the last one utilizing SoftImage 3D
That’s right. It was released in 1999.
You deserve a lot more subscribers. You only needed 3 minutes for me to sub. Keep up the good work!

Larryboy's my number 1
Imitation Krabs was pretty much the same as Krab-Borg, and it was made and/or released around the same time as Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed.
10/10 my lil bro and I are waiting for the next one now 😅
Some people still call me Larry-Boy to this day
This is the kind of content I was looking for! ^^
5:38
wait whistling dog, we're just moving past that? wouldn't that be an absolute nightmare for a town of living vegetables? DO DOGS EXIST IN VEGGIETALES LORE??? I wonder if cats exist, would that make cats terrified of Larry?
Not gonna lie: the Fib from Outer Space did scare me alot when I was a child
But that theme song was AWESOME!!!
Fr I’m actually EXTREMELY furious at phil and Mike for that concept and wish I could go back and time and make them forgot about the fib and create a less scary villain
@@17jacoynebro you sound like a karen
LarryBoy Is Amazing This Guy Is Honestly Radical!!!!
Yeah I Completely Agree LarryBoy Is One Of The Most Spectacular Characters From VeggieTales
Still mad we don’t have “Larry boy a veggietales movie”
I agree. Jonah should've been just a longer normal episode. Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed should have been the movie of '99.
We’re getting one now
I remember Larry-Boy from Veggietales episodes
Fun fact: Bumblyburg changed its look and appearance a lot due to damage to city property done by the giant Fib and all the other villains over the years
Larry Boy alongside Johnny Test’s Super hero persona, Johnny X, inspired me to make my own Self-Insert Hero, Super Nathan.
Holy cow, that was the vhs copy of Dave and the Giant Pickle I had!
Fantastic video

LarryBoy For Life He’s Amazingly Awesome
4:52 I mean at one point Larry boy does straight up say "I'm going to die!" when hitting a curve lol
Glad to see I’m not the only weird kid who made there mom make them a Larry boy birthday cake
Both villains used some form of sin to gain power. Once the people who gave them power corrected what they had done, those villains lost their source of power.

Since the rumor was made it into a big monster, it couldn't do a thing.
They should do another Veggietales movie featuring the origin of Larryboy and teaches kids a lesson about revenge
That would be cool, but unfortunately Veggietales is effectively over at this point.
This is truly the classic and legendary LarryBoy that produced the awesomeness of the character.
However, the one thing that bugs me is how Junior Asparagus is the one who defeats Both the Fib and the Rumor Weed. I understand it makes sense in context, but it kind of degrades LarryBoy's final role in the plot. At least in my opinion.
LarryBoy wouldn't get most of the credit until The Bad Apple episode.
i need the next part
The script has been done for a bit now. Just need this sore throat to go away so I can record it😭
@@superqubio oh dang, hope you get better loved the video huge larrybboy fan myself
It did sucked that Batbob got scrapped but bumblyburg did changed from 1996 to 2002 to 2006 so shocking it changed over the years
I Would Get My Freaking Name Changed To LarryBoy To Support The Cucumber In The Purple Helmet And The Yellow Vest And The Purple Underpants
2:46 it’s actually Fibrilious Minimus
What's the little trumpet tune at the end of the video? It has been stuck in my head for a while for some reason lol
it’s a trombone cover of the Larry-Boy Credits Theme that i recorded!
Oh wow, that's pretty cool!
Would be cool to hear a full cover if that's something you want to do
So in a way of saying it and with all do respect, is Larry-Boy almost like a rip off of Batman (my favourite superhero and favourite fictional character)? It’s honestly ok, because lots of superheroes are based off the Dark Knight.
2:15 Why is LarryBoy’s nose red?
It's supposed to be a clown nose, representing how the idea that Larry-Boy ending at Dave and the Giant Pickle is wrong.
perhaps my biggest pet peeve with the early era of larryboy was that he wasn't victorious, he didnt actually save the day or beat the bad guy THAT credit goes to junior asparagus, now before anyone says it YES i get there was a reason behind all that but why couldn't they have written the theme of the story to revolve AROUND larry boy like they did in the cartoon adventures...Michael bay wasnt even a thing yet and ALREADY he was inspiring other filmmakers
also whatever drunken moronic low life ignormous came up with the idea of the fib character, id like to give em what for for traumatizing my childhood! what were they on they they even concepted such a character!
nice 👍
When Will Part 2 Come Out
Tonight or tomorrow!
10:14
Larryboy dies
Maybe the Rumor Weed, but Fib? He's so annoying. I hate him.
I like the original animation so much better now the characters r too much bouncy and they don’t feel like vegetables and more like clay
he rumor weed episode it was horrible
