Larry-Boy then agrees before telling Bob that they need to clear the stage because it's time for the premiere of his new music video. Larry-Boy then leaves and Bob is confused & asks Larry if he is joking. Bob then realizes that Larry's not joking & says "Larry, we got to talk!"

Revision as of 12:22, 9 June 2021
Plot
Bob & Larry greet the kids once again while on the Countertop, before Bob asks the audience who has got a question for them. Larry then chimes in & says that he just remembered he got an e-mail from a kid named Ezzio Vietti who hails from the city of Hackensack, in the state of New Jersey. Bob is confused about the concept of e-mail (because at the time this video was released, e-mail was still a fairly new thing on the web. The internet was a farily new thing as well), which Larry tries to explain to him using various online terms. Bob then states that he got cable last month, before Larry replies rather condescendingly, "You are so early-90's", which offends Bob. Larry then explains that Ezzio said that he just did something that he knew he wasn't supposed to do & now all of his friends are telling him to be super dishonest about it so that he won't get in trouble, & wants to know from Bob & Larry what should he do. Bob then notes that dishonesty can be a very dangerous thing, before asking if they have any stories about that. Larry has it covered, stating that the same thing happened to Junior Asparagus one time. Larry then tells Ezzio that he should probably grab his popcorn & turn down the lights so that he can get ready for today's feature film: "Larry-Boy And The Fib From Outer Space". Larry then yells "Roll film!" before the lights go dim after that, leaving Bob in the dark (both figuratively & literally.)
The story begins with Percy & his brother discussing the film they just saw and they see what appears to be a comet flying by in the sky. Jimmy & Jerry Gourd, who staff at an early-warning radar station, notice the comet and alert Larry-Boy of it. Larry-Boy notices the signal and then starts up the Larry-mobile and drives off into the night. It turns out that the comet is really a blue alien that starts to walk off.
The next morning, Junior Asparagus & his buddy Laura Carrot are having a tea party. Junior decides to make use of his father's "Art Bigotti" limited edition collector's plate for their teddy bear Mr. Snuggly. While trying to retrieve it, the shelf tips & the plate breaks. Laura immediately leaves. The tennis ball-sized alien "Fibrillus Minimus" (or Fib, for short) emerges from behind Mr. Snuggly & convinces Junior to lie to his dad claiming that, "A little fib couldn't hurt anybody." Junior's unsure, but when his dad soon notices the broken plate & asks his son what happened to it, Junior lies & says that it was Laura who broke the plate by using her new apple chopper on it. Junior's dad naively buys the lie and decides to call Laura's dad on the phone & talk to him about what happened. Fib comes out of hiding & congratulates Junior although Junior notices that Fib looks a bit bigger. Fib shakes this comment off & then the two of them leave the crime scene unpunished. Larry-Boy begins to search for the alien but passes him; but not before greeting Junior & Fib.
Later on, Junior is confronted by his buddy Percy. Fib then goes & hides in an alleyway. Percy tells Junior about the situation with the plate & expresses his confusion at the claims that two different people broke the plate. Junior then decides to pin the blame Laura's little brother Lenny for breaking the plate by giving it to a crocodile to chew up. Like Junior's father, Percy naively buys the story and leaves him be. Junior tells Fib that it worked again. Only now, Fib has now grown & has gotten feet.
Larry Boy reports to Alfred that he has found no extraterrestrial life in Bumblyburg & is therefore heading back to the Larry-Cave because he has been driving around in the Larry-mobile all day. Not to mention, he's tired/hungry & in desperate need of a bathroom. Also, the super suit is very constricting. He also says that there are no space aliens in Bumblyburg. Then, the Larry-mobile just passes by Fib again.
Later that evening, Junior & Fib are still out. But Percy along with both the carrot siblings confront him about his lies. When Junior tells a lie about aliens snatching these cows, swapping brains with the cows and the cows with the alien brains coming to earth and breaking the plate (which viewers may remember it as the plot of the entire movie Percy & his little brother saw at the beginning of the story), Fib grows to be a massive giant with hands who has swapped out his friendly demeanor for an extremely callous one & holds Junior captive & pretty soon, Fib starts causing misery & mayhem all over Bumblyburg by destroying stuff.
Back at HQ, Larry is engaged in a game of Candy-Land with Alfred. Unfortunately for Larry, he's been stuck in the molasses swamp for 38 consecutive turns, while Alfred gets to see Princess Lolly. Larry pulls another card but he's still stuck. He then sarcastically says "I sure hope the rest of Bumblyburg is having a better day than I am." Larry then sees the destruction; as does Alfred. Larry then tells his butler that he's got work to do & to consider their game....postponed. Alfred looks & agrees.
Back outside, Fib continues to wreak havoc upon the city. Junior doesn't understand why the creature who he thought was his friend is doing this to him. Turns out Fib reveals that that's the thing that happens with fibs: they grow! & now that Fib is big, it's his turn to call the shots. & now, Junior belongs to Fib instead of the other way around. Larry-boy shows up to try to save the day. Percy comments that if anyone can stop that Fib, Larry-Boy can. Larry-Boy commands Fib to drop Junior. But Fib taunts him. Soon, Larry-boy pursues Fib via the Larry-Mobile as the Fib tries to escape by climbing to the top of the Bumblyburg Water Tower. It turns out that Alfred made some modifications to his vehicle. Alfred tells him to press the green & blue buttons, but those activate the horn & wipers respectively. Alfred then reveals that it's the yellow one and soon the Larry-Mobile is turned into the Larry-plane & flies into the sky.
It turns out that Larry-plane is unarmed because Alfred didn't bother making any sort of weapons. Larry-boy ejects himself out of the plane. He tries to somehow tackle the Fib like a missile, but he is grabbed at the last second. Turns out, according to Alfred's calculations, Larry-Boy can do nothing to stop Fib. Alfred then makes a discovery. Although Larry-Boy can do nothing to stop the Fib, there is someone else who can. Fib later chooses to eat Larry-Boy because he "sort of looks like candy." Just when Larry-Boy is about to get eaten, Alfred's computer get unplugs & unfortunately for him; he doesn't know who can stop Fib. But, fortunately he plugs it back in. Unfortunately though, Alfred has to wait for it to reboot. Just when it seems like Larry-Boy is doomed, Alfred informs him that Junior is the only one who can stop the Fib. Junior soon realizes he has to tell the truth. He confesses to his parents & the entire crowd that he broke the plate. Fib spits out Larry Boy. And as Junior confesses about the lies he told about the carrot siblings; & admitting that it was his fault, the Fib shrinks out of existence. Junior gets down from the water tower via Larry-Boy's other plunger ear & ate humble pie to his dad about the broken bowling plate. His dad forgives him, but he wished that Junior told him from the beginning. Junior thought that his dad would get angry at him for being honest. Dad tells Junior that he means a lot more to him than some bowling plate. Junior then inquires if he should be punished, but his parents come to a consensus that what he had been through today was the punishment, but only if he promises to be honest the first time from that point on. Junior then hugs his dad. Officer Scooter then gets all emotional & he even tried to thank Larry-Boy, but he had already left. We then see Larry-Boy making the missing piece of the Larry-Signal for dramatic purposes. Later that evening, a red version of Fib falls from the sky just opposite of Junior's neighborhood, looking for someone to help it grow....

Trivia
- Moral: Coming clean to your folks at home when you've done something pretty awful is always the best policy, no matter what.
- Also, never should you ever live off a huge chunk of dishonesty, otherwise you'll find yourself in some pretty hot water sooner or later. Not to mention that all those bits of dishonesty you tell will eventually accumulate, come back to bite/haunt you & pretty soon; it'll end up enslaving you, too.
- To make a long moral short: if you do something bad; the best thing you can do is to tell the truth & face the consequences of your actions! Or as Mr.Lunt & Larry once said the TV version of this episode: "Tell the truth. Face the consequences." & "Fibs bad! Truth good!"
