"When two work together, they are stronger than one."

— Bok Choy's advice

The Good, The Bad, and The Eggly (also styled as The Good, the Bad, and the Eggly!) is the fourth and final episode of LarryBoy: The Cartoon Adventures. This episode was also adapted into a book.

It teaches a lesson in teamwork.

Plot

Awful Alvin and Greta Von Gruesome are out of jail. After the Larry-Plane crash-lands in some woods due to three flying pigs with bacon-and-egg guns, LarryBoy is saved by the Dark Crow, who is the hero of Bumblyburg's neighboring town, Lollyhaven. The two team up and attempt to stop Awful Alvin and Greta Von Gruesome in their tracks in the science lab, before LarryBoy makes a mistake and allows the two antagonists to steal a machine called the Overeasy Egg Ray, which turns anything not alive into eggs. Using it, they steal various antiques from a museum and kidnap Vicki. LarryBoy and the Dark Crow, stripped of their super suits, try to defeat Awful Alvin and Greta Von Gruesome, but fail to do so, leading them to be kidnapped themselves. Soon, they free themselves by swinging back and forth and directing a ray to a rope that is holding them. LarryBoy then proceeds to destroy the Overeasy Egg Ray and is successful, but then gets himself knocked out by Awful Alvin and Greta Von Gruesome. LarryBoy is trapped until the Dark Crow frees him, trapping Awful Alvin and Lampy in the process. They then proceed to trap Greta Von Gruesome. The two antagonists and Lampy are arrested and jailed once again and the Overeasy Egg Ray is returned to the science lab, though it is damaged. Vicky brings up the Founder's Day Dance and LarryBoy agrees he wants to go with her to it. The Dark Crow catches up to them at the last second as they are leaving.

Remarks

It is never explained how Vicki did not recognize Larry when his supersuit was egged.
The shot of Dark Crow telling LarryBoy his shoes are untied seems to be a 16:9 shot squished into a 4:3 aspect ratio (see image).
The audio quality in this episode is different compared to the previous three.
The credits on the Chordant DVD/VHS state that the episode was produced in 2002, but it was not released until 2003. According to animator Chuck Grieb's resume, this is when the episode finished production.

Goofs

The cables on the plunger ears clip through the Larry-Plane in one shot.
On the DVD release, the covers for both The Amazing Carnival of Complaining and Runaway Pride at Lightstation Kilowatt on the previews section are swapped.

Fast Forward

Larry would be a paper bag on his head on the countertop twice.
The 3-2-1 Penguins! episode Do Unto Brothers and the VeggieTales in the House episodes Duo Day and Grow-Tato would teach a lesson in teamwork.
Alvin would later tie up Bob and Junior again 19 years later.
The quiche pun would later be told again 11 years later.
