VeggieTown Values On the Job: Greetings From Bob & Larry is the second VeggieTown Greetings tape that contained 10 greetings from Bob and Larry.
Segments[]
Greeting 1: Vacation School[]
Bob is about to greet the viewers, but Larry is missing at first and emerges wearing a beachgoer's outfit. Larry is under the impression that he and Bob are going to vacation school, until Bob points out that VeggieTown is Vacation Bible School.
Greeting 2: Larry's Interview[]
Larry is wearing a tie because he wants to get a job. After being informed that getting a job involves more than just wearing a tie, he agrees to attempt a mock interview with Bob, which flops when Bob forgets the name of the job he was addressing Larry on.
Greeting 3: Larry the Cook[]
Larry has a new job as a cook, and wears an oven mitt on his head since he doesn't have any hands. As Bob starts talking about values on the job, Larry mixes the lessons up with value meals, much to Bob's irritation.
Greeting 4: Larry the Psychiatrist[]
Larry is a psychiatrist who expresses a desire to help people. Bob doesn't want to be psychoanalyzed, but Larry begins doing so anyway by asking him nonsensical questions, which causes him to leave.
Greeting 5: Sani-Boy[]
Larry tells Bob that he created the world's new superhero, Sani-Boy! His costume is a white shirt with the initials "SB", with a plunger for a hat, with a broom and a disinfectant spray can on its sides. Sani-Boy accidentally sweeps dust around Bob, and then sprays him with the disinfectant spray. After Bob tells the viewers to have fun, he decides to go take a shower.
Greeting 6: Slingshot Larry[]
When Bob is greeting the viewers, Larry slings a newspaper at him, much to his annoyance. Soon after, Larry explains he is looking to get a job delivering newspapers and was testing his delivery system, which he says is an "Official Larry-Brand Aerodynamic Paper Projectile Impeller." Bob points out that it is merely a slingshot and tells Larry to stop slinging the newspapers around, which ends in Larry slinging flowers onto his head instead.
Greeting 7: Restaurant Larry[]
Larry expresses his desire to open his own fast food restaurant, but the idea flops thanks to his menu item of "Deep-Fried Peanut Butter and Jellyfish Sandwich," which doesn't end up being received well. Forced to admit he'll need to revise his menu, he next offers Bob a position at his restaurant as a short-order cook, which he misunderstands, thinking that since Bob is short he'll be good for the position. Bob is slightly irked at this.
Greeting 8: Cowboy Larry[]
Larry is looking to get a job as a cowboy and is practicing his cowboy accent and language. Upon learning that cowboys rope cows, Larry explains that he thought he would roast marshmallows with the cows. After talking more about VeggieTown with Bob, Larry suggests that if he and the cows roasted marshmallows together, they wouldn't be mad when he roped them.
Greeting 9: Rocketboy Larry[]
Larry announces that he is "Rocketboy Larry" and that he has a job as a space explorer. He names a few space creatures, but Bob points out that they can be found on Earth and is skeptical of Larry being able to fly his spaceship. As Larry is flying off in the spaceship, Bob is left in shock and begins pursuing him.
Greeting 10: Hardhat Larry[]
Bob presumes Larry has a new job, which Larry clarifies is a job in construction with a company called "Arthur Artichoke's Architectural Associates." Larry explains how he is using the VeggieTown values on the job, and the greeting appears to go well until Larry embarrasses himself by saying his hat is a batter's helmet, which he wears when he wants to hit baseballs after work. As Larry leaves the screen, Bob is left disgusted at the way the greeting turned out.
Fun Facts[]
Trivia[]
- The segments were made around 2000 using Maya.
- The Cowboy Larry segment and Larry's "Wow! Isn't that Tom Cruise?" line would later become an internet meme.
- These segments, along with King George and the Ducky and Esther... The Girl Who Became Queen are the only Maya episodes to use the original graphics.
- When the boxsets were originally released in 2000, only five of the "On the Job" greetings were produced. However, a free e-mailing card came with the sets which you could send off to receive a VHS tape with all ten of these greetings. Because of this, however, the last five of these greetings are extremely rare, and may very well be the rarest of the sets.
Remarks[]
- In the greetings segments from 2000 that were created using Maya animation software, Bob and Larry appear smaller. They are roughly the same smaller size as their appearances in Mr. Cuke's Screen Test and Take 38.
- Although Bob in the segments from 2000 otherwise looks the same as his King George and the Ducky character model, Larry is shiny much like his pre-2000 character model. However, he isn't as dark green as that character model.
