A Lifetime Supply of Joy is the third episode of The VeggieTales Show which teaches a lesson about joy. It was originally released on Yippee TV on March 25th, 2020, but was removed two days later. It was then officially re-released on March 30th.

Plot[]

Larry the Cucumber is a finalist to receive a lifetime supply of Doodle-Whoppers Cookies! Now he can finally be happy! But when Junior Asparagus is revealed as the other finalist, Bob determines that both veggie friends need a lesson in the true meaning of “joy” — happiness that lasts. Bob rallies the veggies for a performance on the story of Paul and Silas — two friends who remained joyful even in the midst of a prison sentence.
