The Countertop is the main setting for VeggieTales, and mostly the main stage for the Silly Songs.
This is where Bob and Larry greet the kids, read letters and emails from kids who have problems and remind the kids that God made them special and He loves them very much. Larry once fell in the sink when he wasn't paying attention to where he was going due to wearing an oven mitt in the episode Rack, Shack and Benny. Fortunately, Bob rescued him. Unfortunately, Bob became the one who got stuck after saving Larry. How Bob got out afterwards is beyond us!
The Countertop got slightly remodeled in 2010 when Larry asked the crew of Extreme Re-do: Crying Edition to help fix the place up while Bob was on vacation.
The Countertop was remodeled once again in 2015 when VeggieTales underwent a redesign. There is a pattern on the wall and the tiles are slightly uneven, giving it a cartoony look.
Items and other surroundings
The Countertop has consists of:
- Qwerty, the desktop computer
- Canisters
- Throw pillows
- A sink
- Cabinetry (or Kitchen Cabinet)
- Disco light floor (as seen in Celery Night Fever)
The other side of the kitchen can be seen in the background in earlier episodes, including a refrigerator. A toaster was also mentioned a few times, and was seen in Trading Places.
Design
The Countertop has light blue walls with yellow and pink titles. Prior to its redesign, the wall used to be light yellow.
