Larry-Boy & the Fib from Outer Space!

Click the video cover to read more about it!


  • As the story begins, Percy Pea and his little brother leave the theater where they have just seen "Invasion of the Cow Snatchers." The Peach, the Scallions and Frankencelery can also be seen walking away from the theater.

  • Jimmy and Jerry Gourd have an entertaining role as the scientists who first see the alien falling to earth. Jerry is obviously a science fiction buff, as he is wearing Spock ears.

  • An exhausted Larry-Boy drives the Larry-mobile through Bumblyburg, talking with Alfred (Archibald Asparagus). As Larry-Boy tells Alfred about seeing a kid with green hair and a dog that could whistle, watch the sidewalk just behind the Larry-mobile. You'll see such characters as the Peach, the scallions and Frankencelery. Travelling down the sidewalk just ahead of the Larry-mobile is Larry's blue plastic lobster from "Are You My Neighbor?" ("The Story of Flibber-o-Loo")!

  • Scooter, Bumblyburg's police officer, is listening to the radio in his police car just before it is smashed by the giant Fib. The song playing is "I Can Be Your Friend," which was sung in "Are You My Neighbor?" ("The Gourds Must Be Crazy"), in which Scooter first appeared.

  • Many characters from past videos appear at the base of the Bumblyburg watertower, looking upwards at the giant Fib which holds Junior Asparagus in his clutches. Look for Jimmy and Jerry Gourd (in their white lab coats), Bob the Tomato, the Grape family, the Scallions, the Peach, Mr. Nezzer and Frankencelery.

  • As "Larry-Boy's Music Video" concludes, Larry exclaimes "Dyno-Mite!" The phrase is the trademark of J.J. from the show "Good Times," a situation comedy from the 1970s.
