accent. Pa is often seen as a trusted authority figure amongst the ''VeggieTales'' cast, though sometimes he comes off as senile when he shares some of his slightly odder anecdotes. According to an interview in the "What's the Big Idea?" magazine, Pa stated he was held back in the 2nd grade for 13 years and was worried about his lack of eyes.
Pa made his first appearance in ''
God Wants Me to Forgive Them!?!'' as the father of the Grapes of Wrath. He is typically cast as a sage or fatherly figure, including such roles as Jesse in ''Dave and the Giant Pickle'', Jacob in ''The Ballad of Little Joe'', Mordecai in ''Esther... The Girl Who Became Queen'', and the angel sent to guide Gideon (Larry the Cucumber) in ''Gideon: Tuba Warrior''. He also has a reoccurring role as the captain of the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything, appearing alongside Larry and Mr. Lunt and starring as the lead of their feature film. Pa likes to invent and tinker as well, a part of his personality that is influenced by his role as the eccentric Victorian inventor Seymour Schwenk in the holiday specials ''The Star of Christmas'' and ''An Easter Carol''.

Jimmy and Jerry Gourd
Jimmy and Jerry Gourd (introduced 1995) are fun-loving brothers who appear as a secondary comic duo. While Bob and Larry can be considered animated versions of Abbott and Costello, Jimmy and Jerry more closely resemble
Tweedledee and Tweedledum

accent.
Archibald first appeared in the short "VeggieTales Promo: Take 38" to interrupt and object to the creation of such a show as ''VeggieTales'', claiming it to be utter nonsense. Archibald made his official debut in ''Where's God When I'm S-Scared?'', playing the regal King Darius role in the "Daniel and the Lion's Den" segment. This episode also started the continuing theme of his distain towards Larry the Cucumber's Silly Songs. He claims they are "too silly" by interrupting "The Water Buffalo Song" to chastise Larry. In a storyline that lasted the span of a few episodes, Archibald eventually learns to loosen up after an incident where he cancelled ''Silly Songs with Larry'' and discovered how much they meant to ''VeggieTales'' fans, and subsequently, Larry. Archibald eventually appears in other Silly Songs specifically starring him, including "
The Biscuit of Zazzamarandabo" and "Astonishing Wigs". Archibald also has a recurring role as LarryBoy's faithful butler Alfred (who is just called "Archibald" in the 2-D cartoon series) and was featured as the title character in ''

Mr. Nezzer
Mr. Nezzer (introduced 1995) is a rich middle-aged zucchini businessman. Always seen in a formal shirt and a necktie, he is appropriately business-minded and is sometimes a tad egotistical. Although always apart of the VeggieTales gang, he is somewhat aloof compared to the others because of his social status as the owner of many successful companies and businesses. Often cast in antagonistic roles, Mr. Nezzer truly isn’t a villain, usually just being misguided in his actions and redeeming himself by an episode’s end.
Mr. Nezzer made his debut in ''
Rack, Shack & Benny'' as the whimsical but menacing chocolate factory owner "Nebby K. Nezzer" (an allusion to
Nebuchadnezzar II). He is assisted by Mr. Lunt, who helps delegate his every whim. Obsessed with the icon his chocolate is molded into, Nezzer creates a giant golden bunny idol that he wants all his workers to worship by singing a song of his own creation "The Bunny Song". Eventually, Nezzer learns his lesson after witnessing God rescue his three workers from burning in the factory’s furnace as punishment for standing up to him.

The Peas have taken over the show in a few instances, including the episode ''Madame Blueberry'' where Jean-Claude narrates and assisting Archibald in ''Lyle the Kindly Viking'' to somewhat disastrous results. They also have their own Silly Song "Hopperena" in ''Twas the Night Before Easter''.
Jean-Claude and Phillipe are sometimes joined by another pea named Cristoffe, who appears infrequently. The French Peas should be confused with the more ordinary peas who frequently speak in American accents and appear as background characters.

Mom and Dad Asparagus
Mom and Dad Asparagus (introduced 1993) are Junior’s caring and supportive parents. Both Mom and Dad first appeared in the episode ''Where’s God When I’m S-Scared?'' in traditional parental roles as their son deals with facing his fears.
Mom and Dad both appear more prominently in the early videos, with Dad appearing more often as the series goes on. They are almost always together or alongside Junior. Unlike most other ''VeggieTales'' characters, Mom and Dad usually appear as themselves and not in character roles. Probably their biggest roles to date are as Reverend Gilbert and his wife in the holiday specials ''The Star of Christmas'' and'' An Easter Carol''. They also can both be seen in the original opening theme song for the series alongside their son, Bob, and Larry.
Originally, both parents were simply referred to as Mom and Dad respectively, but they were given more proper names (after ''VeggieTales'' co-creator Mike Nawrocki and his wife, Lisa) in the ''
