Bob the Tomato (introduced 1992) is usually the "straight man '' in his partnership with Larry the Cucumber, as they introduce many of the stories at the beginning and wrap - up the Biblical lesson at the end of most of the shows. He also plays many character roles in the story segments, some of which are in contrast to his more mature persona, which Phil Vischer called "my inner Mr. Rogers ''. He first appeared in 1993 in Big Idea 's first video, Where 's God When I 'm S - Scared?. In it, he and Larry set the opening format which has largely become a VeggieTales standard, where a letter is read from a viewer by the duo on a kitchen counter (which serves as a sort of stage). In this show, Bob played himself in the first of the two 15 - minute segment titled "Tales from the Crisper '', comforting frightened Junior Asparagus with the cheerful song, "God is Bigger. '' The end of this episode started a running gag in which Bob is annoyed by the "What We Have Learned '' end - of - episode song, impatiently waiting until it is over so that he can ask Qwerty what they 've learned.
