VeggieTown Values For the Family!: VeggieTown Greetings & Music is a CD that features greetings and songs.
Greetings[]
Greeting 1[]
Larry thinks that collecting holes will make him holy, but Bob explains that being holy actually means being set apart for God. When Bob hops off to VeggieTown, he falls in a hole, then when Larry tries to help him, he falls in a hole as well.
Greeting 2[]
Larry is recording his own sitcom, called "Everybody Loves Larry", with Bob playing an English butler. When an audience laughs at Larry's joke, Bob explains to him that there's nobody there, and that the sound is coming from a pre-recorded tape. This makes Larry think nobody loves him, but Bob explains that a lot of people love him, and that God loves everyone dearly. Larry agrees to go to VeggieTown with Bob, but only if he does a scene where the butler cleans chickens out of a toilet.
Greeting 3[]
While Bob and Larry are waiting for the camera to take a picture, Bob notices Larry's shirt, which he explains Aunt Ruth sent him so he can "clothe himself in compassion". Larry accidentally messes up the picture, and Bob has to set the timer again. Bob explains to Larry that clothed in compassion means his mind should be surrounded with compassion. While he's explaining this, he misses the timer again, slightly irritated at Larry for making him miss the picture. Larry decides to show Bob compassion by setting the timer. While doing so, he accidentally destroys the camera.
Greeting 4[]
Bob sets out a plate of cheeseburgers while Larry is gone. Bob tries to explain to Larry that today's value is kindness, but Larry decides to distract Bob so he can take the cheeseburgers when he isn't looking. Bob notices this, and Larry realizes that he should be kind, but not before asking for the last cheeseburger.
Greeting 5[]
Bob is looking up his family tree, which causes Larry to talk about his family, including his great aunt Lori the Cucumber, who he says was the first person to walk on the moon. It doesn't take long for Bob to realize that Larry's making up stories, so he explains to him that he doesn't have to be ashamed of his humble background.
Greeting 6[]
As Bob is greeting the viewers, Larry introduces himself as Dr. Larry, MD. Bob is confused, so Larry explains that he specializes in bruises, and decides to examine Bob. Before Bob can refuse, Larry starts hurting Bob. Bob asks if he specializes in curing bruises or giving bruises, in which Larry replies that he missed that day in medical school. Bob explains that they should head over to VeggieTown to learn about gentleness. Before they go, Larry tries to get a splinter out of Bob's nose, which makes Bob freak out.
Greeting 7[]
Larry isn't feeling up to going to VeggieTown, because his patients come for one visit, but don't come back. When Bob asks how he talks to a patient, Larry starts yelling orders. Realizing why Larry doesn't have patients, Bob explains that he's impatient, and that he needs to be more patient with his patients. Larry pushes Bob impatiently to go to VeggieTown, but Bob reminds him of patience yet again.
Greeting 8[]
Larry is about to sing a song called "Friends are Friends Forever", but Bob explains to Larry that they'd get in trouble for singing that song, since the rights belong to Michael W. Smith. Larry then decides to sing a different song, but this song openly insults Bob (saying he smells like a wet raccoon, saying he's round, etc.). Bob explains he should be more thoughtful like Michael W. Smith, but Larry says that would be copyright infringement. On their way to VeggieTown, Larry starts singing his song again.
Greeting 9[]
While Bob is greeting the viewers, Larry introduces himself as "The Oddfather". Larry explains that he's the head of the family. Bob corrects Larry, saying that he's talking about being a gangster. Larry states he does favors, like putting a head of lettuce on the foot of a bully's bed. Bob explains that Larry wants to get revenge, and that God wants us to forgive each other instead. Before going to VeggieTown, Bob tells Larry, "you're a dill I can't refuse", which confuses him.
Greeting 10[]
Larry tells Bob he needs a new look, and tells him to look at QWERTY, since he's planning a virtual makeover. Larry gives him a mustache, a toupee, a monocle, etc. Larry eventually crashes the system from going too fast. Bob explains to Larry that his friends love him just the way he is, and that's how God loves us. Larry cancels the makeover, which makes Bob remark that he was starting to feel like Mr. Tomato Head. This gives Larry an idea to make Mr. Tomato Head a licensed character, but Bob states it'll never happen.

Fun Facts[]
Remarks[]
- In the eighth segment, Bob points out that he and Larry can't use Michael W. Smith's "Friends are Friends Forever" song due to the song's rights belonging to Michael W. Smith. Despite this, Bob and Larry still sing a cover of this song in Bob & Larry's Campfire Songs.
Real-World References[]
- At the end of the first segment, Larry is heard saying "Hello, rabbit," after falling into one of the holes in his hole collection. This is a possible reference to the White Rabbit, one of the characters from the 1865 Lewis Carroll novel, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
- "Everybody Loves Larry" is a parody on the 1996 sitcom, "Everybody Loves Raymond".
- In the eighth For The Family greeting, Larry almost sings "Friends are Friends Forever", a song written by famed Christian recording artist Michael W. Smith.
- The Oddfather is a direct reference to the 1972 epic crime film, "The Godfather".
- Furthermore, the line about putting a head of lettuce on the foot of a bully's bed is a reference to a scene in the film, in which the character Jack Woltz wakes up with a severed horse head at the foot of his bed.
- Also, Bob's line "You're a dill I can't refuse" is a reference to a quote in the film.
- Mr. Tomato Head is a parody on Hasbro's Mr. Potato Head.
