[quodekash]

this appeals to a very specific audience and im pretty sure that audience's entire population is me but I might as well share it here

(the image has nothing to do with the song, i just thought it was funny)

Just reminding y’all of this absolute banger

[bowandbrush]

Did you watch veggietales as a kid?

OH MY GOODNESS YES I DID. I remember every silly song, and I still sing them. (Pizza angel, belly button song and his cheeseburger and my favorites) YOU HAVE NO IDEA. I love the show and it still continues to be funny but educational in the concept of Christianity and basic moral values to this day. Did you?

How/where do I find original Veggietales stuff?

hahahah

well i have a few VHS/DVDs of the best ones. I want you to know that it's super episodic, and outside of the kitchen counter intro/outro you REALLY don't have to watch the whole thing like a show. They work better as independent short films anyway.

(Side bar, they function like The Muppets, how each character is an actor putting on a show btw)

If you REALLY wanna see the whole thing, that surely would be a choice. There are 57 episodes of the original run as outlined here, and you can watch most of them here.

The "Where's God When I'm Scared" is the very first episode, and was early 90's animation so be gentle. The writing was also SUPER heavy handed, but it's the intro to the show. Also, Larry's lisp is the best part because they tone it down over time and that makes me a bit sad. So watch this one for Larry's uncensored lisp

Skip forward to Rack, Shack, and Benny. Still not peak veggies, but makes up for it with the Bunny Song, which WILL become your new vocal stim.

Dave and the Giant Pickle is tied for my FAVORITE episode. It introduces Larry Boy, which is important if you want to watch the LB episodes (i'm not a fan of them tbh). It also had THE BEST Silly Song (Lip Song my beloved) and overall one of the better soundtracks. Truly the height of christian vegetables. Me and my siblings to recite this episode word for word while doing chores. I can still quote it on command.

I Do Not Like The Toy That Saved Christmas, but it DOES introduce you more fully to how Mr. Nezzar is Larry's rich uncle and how their dynamic usually plays out.

Then you can jump forward to King George and the Ducky (I know Josh and the Big Wall/Madam Blueberry are classics, but they aren't my vibe so that's up to your discretion). Kinda a messed up way to tell about Kind David, but tbh it slaps, sorry.

Then Esther the Girl Who Became Queen was probably the first serious story they produced with the veggies. The tone is almost serious, and even kinda dark if they hadn't been so afraid to acknowledge the concept of death. Doesn't even have a silly song.

Then skip ahead to the Ballad of Little Joe which is my OTHER favorite. ALSO has one of the best silly songs (Belly Button song my beloved). One of my favorite tellings of the story of Joseph, possibly because i also just really love westerns.

Watch A Snoodle's Tale, because Dr. Seuss vibes.

I haven't seen any of the Minnesota Cuke episodes, but like,, it's clearly Indiana Jones vibes so investigate at your own curiosity.

Lord of the Beans is also EXTREMELY high up there. I make Sporks references extremely often, and I want you to understand meeeee.

The Wonderful Wizard of Has is also really fun, and it was one of the most visually polished episodes. Also, the silly song was super fun.

and OBVIOUSLY you have to watch Jonah: A veggietales movie, then The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. Both of which had major roles in shaping my sense of humor.

There is also the For TV version, where they played the exact same episode but swapped out the opening so it was at Bob and Larry's house (they live together?!?!?!) instead of their studio, ie the kitchen counter. And I would kill to get my hands on that version of the show.

Also there is one fabled episode where Bob and Larry spend the opening fighting with being stuck in the sink, but I have no idea which one it is.

Anyway, this is probably more than you asked for and I probably sound derange but for real this goddamn show was responsible for forming my brain so it's just forever a part of my life. EDIT: Saberspark did a great breakdown on the history of Veggietales and wtf happened and a followup video

Don't tell PJ this, but Omni doesn't have a belly button either. 😱

(I don't care what anyone says the Belly Button song from VeggieTales slaps.)

[coldwatercorpse]

Magnus Bane singing "Belly Button" from VeggieTales to Alec is all I want from life.

[kendallroysmethpipe]

Im excited which of these two are going to be my top song on my next Spotify wrapped

Omfg I love veggie tales

BESTIE DON'T GET ME STARTED

As a small Christian child I had so many VeggieTales DVDs and VHS tapes

Everytime our church's bookstore got a new VeggieTales movie my mom always bought it for us

I had the entire LarryBoy box set that my brothers and I watched over and over again

Awful Alvin and his bestie Lampy altered my brain chemistry

I still know every single Silly Song with Larry song

I made a VeggieTales OC

She was a Cucumber named Amber because I was a lonely kid 😭

I drew her with the angry eyebrows frequently because one of the LarryBoy DVD bonus features the animator taught how to draw Larry and Bob

My mom had us watch so much Christian media out of fear that secular media would send us to hell

But VeggieTales is the one I still revist

I've followed so many VeggieTales TikTok accounts

VeggieTales was one of my first comfort shows as a kid

My FAVORITE VeggieTales movie/special/episode (idfk) was the story of Esther because that's my favorite Bible story

I still very much quote Lord of the Bean on a regular basis

"His Cheeseburger" and "Ain't Got No Belly Button" are staples and songs that are always playing in my head at any given point in time

Enjoy Awful Alvin and Lampy dancing their hearts out

Everybody thinks their music is fire until this comes on

[d-s-9]

true emotion real music.

Okay so Remy doesn't actually have a belly button because he's an immortal disguised as human and he's trying to break it to Emile

The joke is based off the VeggieTales song Belly Button. I was thinking something more along the lines of Emile was simply quoting a cartoon. Maybe the alien Remy could work with it, though.

[clinko]

Does Steven wash his gem like humans wash their bellybuttons?

I mean he is half human...

If his gem was on his hand I doubt that he wouldn’t wash his hands

[stardustedknuckles]

I wonder if parents who raised their kids with VeggieTales fully grasped the fact that the songs would stay with those kids for the rest of their natural lives. I cannot go looking for an object without “where is my hairbush” playing in my head. God forbid anyone mention a buffalo. I just looked at a sore on my lip and got the William Tell Overture playing in my head. Chocolate bunnies, belly buttons, cheeseburgers, the boogeyman, Boston in the fall, Babylon/Scrabble on...nothing is safe.
