Nebby Nezzer, better known as Mr. Nezzer, is a major protagonist from VeggieTales. He was replaced by Ichabeezer in the Netflix shows due to DreamWorks having a policy against interracial casting (his voice is based on Oogie Boogie from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, who was voiced by Ken Page).
He returned in The VeggieTales Show but with a new voice actor, David Mann. However, Phil Vischer continues to be his understudy.

Trivia[]
- He doesn't appears in VeggieTales in the House and VeggieTales in the City.
- He just portrays them in the series, not actually a villain. His first performance in "Rack, Shack, and Benny" that he portrays as a villain character Nebby K. Nezzer.
- When The VeggieTales Show was put into production, as Phil managed to reprise most of his Veggie character roles, he was originally going to reprise Mr. Nezzer as well (judging by the trailer for The Best Christmas Gift), but managed not to for that character because he felt that his voice was not working out well for an African-American character since Phil himself is naturally Caucasian. It is confirmed that David Mann will assume the role of Mr. Nezzer for the new show.
