Larry-Boy (also spelled as LarryBoy) is a fictional character from the American christian children's animated video series VeggieTales and its spin-off series Larryboy: The Cartoon Adventures. He is the alter ego of Larry the Cucumber and the leader of The League of Incredible Vegetables. He is a crime-fighting superhero and defender of Bumblyburg.
Bio[edit]
Main Series[edit]
He first appeared on Dave and the Giant Pickle when he wasn't feeling special. After hearing he can still play Larry-Boy and be himself, he plays around again, only to be stuck on the camera throughout the end credits until he gets unstuck and falls.
Understanding he can still pretend to be a super hero, LarryBoy made his first super hero film LarryBoy! and the Fib from Outer Space! in 1997, made another countertop appearance in the fifth segment of VeggieTown Values in 1998, and appeared again in Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed in 1999. LarryBoy appeared on one of the new countertop kitchen segments for Jonah Sing-Along Songs and More!, and was the star of his own cartoon adventures series, and did not appear again until LarryBoy and the Bad Apple (although was spotted at the end of Sheerluck Holmes and the Golden Ruler and appears in the "outtakes" of Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie). LarryBoy did appear in the Veggie Video "Bob Lends a Helping Hand," and afterwards he returned in The League of Incredible Vegetables.
Personality[edit]
Understanding he can still pretend to be a super hero, Larry Boy made his first super hero film Larry-Boy! and the Fib from Outer Space! in 1997 and appeared again in Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed in 1999. Larry Boy appeared on one of the new countertop kitchen segments for Jonah Sing Along Songs and More!, made a few appearances in his cartoon adventures and did not appear again until Larry Boy and the Bad Apple (although was spotted at the end of Sheerluck Holmes and the Golden Ruler and appears in the "outtakes" of Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie).
Development[edit]
The inspiration for Larry-Boy came when Big Idea was thinking about doing an episode that spoofs Batman after they had spoofed both Gilligan's Island and Star Trek for the second and third episodes. The initial idea was to make Bob the superhero under the name Bat-Bob. Phil Vischer even had an idea of a teaser scene to show people what the idea would look like: Bat-Bob stands on a roof top in a mask and has along cape behind him and he would strike the pose, "I'm Bat-Bob!" Then the wind would pick up and his cape would fly off of him and fly away with Bob chasing it and he'd be on the edge and he's look down at the street and ask pedestrians for help. Then Vischer thought that Larry would be his sidekick under the name Larry-Boy. The personality for Larry-Boy was just going to be the normal personality of Larry just in a costume.
Physical Appearance[edit]
He wears a purple mask with plungers on the side, as well as a purple and yellow super-suit and a radio belt with the letters 'LB' on the yellow buckle. In the 2D animated series, he also wears a purple cape, which was again featured in the LarryBoy and the Bad Apple video game, and the book LarryBoy in Tip Top Cape Shape!.

Trivia[edit]
- LarryBoy's vehicle is the LarryMobile, which was designed by Big Idea artist, Joseph Sapulich, to look like himself. It can fly, drill through the ground, and serve as a submarine (LarryBoy's Cartoon Adventures Book series). Revealed in his Chapter Books, it can also be a snow-mobile. He also had a LarryCopter in The League of Incredible Vegetables.
- In Larry-Boy! And the Fib from Outer Space! he suffered pain from Fib is squeezing him until his plunger popped out.
- LarryBoy has his own video game for Playstation 2 and Game Boy Advanced based off of LarryBoy and the Bad Apple.
- Larry Boy's first appearance was in "Dave and the Giant Pickle".
- LarryBoy's temptation is chocolate.
- LarryBoy's favorite superhero is the Green Lantern; he's super and green (even though on his interviews voiced by Mike Nawrocki he says it is a tie between Batman Spiderman and The Powerpuff Girls).
- LarryBoy's greatest fear is popping balloons, according to him, it was from his 5th birthday.
- While LarryBoy is the town's superhero, he has only saved the day in one of his four 3-D movies.
- In the game, Larryboy used what he calls the S.M.A.R.T cape, which somehow changes the structure of his DNA, allowing him to change into different items to solve problems at hand. What he turned into the most was an invincible solid steel statue of himself, which he used often as a heavyweight to pressure items and force down controls. He also used the S.M.A.R.T cape to turn himself into raw energy. When he did this he yelled 'Electricity!', he used it mostly to cause power-surges and energize dead computers and such. However, he has yet to use his S.M.A.R.T Cape again. But Big Idea has yet to say he couldn't bring it out in a normal Larryboy Episode.
