Episode Summary
Opening Countertop
Bob and Larry welcome the kids to VeggieTales. Larry wonders what kinds of issues they will be solving today. Bob goes to QWERTY to see if they have any emails today. Bob still thinks it's so cool that they get emails now, Larry remembers back in the day when he teased Bob about it. Bob doesn't need the reminder. An email pops up from a boy named Steve in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Steve recently got a new job at a fast food restaurant, but he feels like he is the worst employee there, and he doesn't know what to do. Bob thinks he's having a problem in confidence. Larry says he's been playing a lot of video games lately, and he feels confident in that. He's been playing Tetris, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Fortnite. Larry has a great story retelling for Steve. Larry asks Bob if he knows Super Mario Odyssey at all. Bob isn't familiar with it. Larry tells Steve the story of the Super Veggie Odyssey.
The Super Odyssey!
It's a typical day in Bumblyburg. Bob and Larry-Boy are fighting off a villain unlike any other. His name is Melvin the Malevolent. He has Petunia captured in his hands. Larry-Boy has the upper hand, until Melvin unleashes a cap that knocks the two heroes off Melvin's aircraft. Melvin flies away with Petunia. Bob and Larry-Boy find themselves in a strange kingdom. There, they meet up with a ghost-like creature named Toppy. Toppy agrees to help Bob and Larry-Boy with their adventure. Toppy tells Larry to ditch the costume because Toppy can grant them both awesome power. They have the ability to capture their enemies. Larry is super confused by this. He isn't sure he can do this.
Bob tells Larry he just needs to show a little confidence. Larry wonders what that is. Bob breaks into song about it. Larry thinks he can do this now. Bob and Larry travel through several obscure worlds before encountering Melvin in his underground lair. Larry is super frightened by this, but he remembers confidence. He needs to be strong because he knows God will give him the strength to do what is right. Bob and Larry fight off Melvin and rescue Petunia.
Closing Countertop
Bob thought Larry told a great story, even if it was inspired by a video game. Larry thanks Bob and wonders if he can tell more stories in the future. Bob says he's already told plenty of stories like the Western Bible stories and the Fib From Outer Space. Larry then wonders if QWERTY has a verse. After the verse, Bob and Larry say goodbye. Larry thinks they should do an adaptation of Mega Man next.
