Jerry Gourd

Jerry Gourd is a character in VeggieTales. He is a gourd who is hardly ever seen without his brother Jimmy. Jerry is the taller (and quieter) of the two, but like his brother, is known for his large appetite. He is also known to be a Star Trek fan. He debuts with his brother Jimmy in Are You My Neighbor? as the "new guys" at the USS Applepies, but are unknowingly misfits for their huge appetites. However, Jimmy and Jerry prove themselves to be good people when they save the USS Applepies from a giant popcorn ball meteor by eating it, afterwards singing "I Can Be Your Friend." Jerry also appears as an Israelite in both Dave and the Giant Pickle and Josh and the Big Wall. He has also starred in the Love Song "His Cheeseburger" (sung by Mr. Lunt), furthering his reputation for appetite. Other notable roles for Jerry are the Constable in The Star of Christmas and An Easter Carol, The Other Elf in Lord of the Beans (parody of Lord of the Rings, in which he appears as an elf that looks like the Keebler elf), the Spaniard in The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie, and the Duke of Orleans in Tomato Sawyer and Huckleberry Larry's Big River Rescue.
