Worst Veggie Tale...

Lyle the Friendly Viking is the worst Veggie Tales video yet. The jokes fall flat, the characters seem different, and the "Silly Song With Larry" (which was supposed to mock Forrest Gump partially) fell REALLY short. I'm not saying this film was bad, just the worst Veggie Tales film yet. Big difference.
