Larry, who often sat next to his friend Sam, was a (fictional) 42-year-old man, according to nypost.com.
Although casual fans may not know this pale man, Larry has been a fixture at Moe’s since the Season 1 episode of Homer’s Odyssey, which aired in January 1990, over 34 years ago. years.
Over the years, he kept appearing as a cameo character, rarely uttering a word.
That’s right, in the Season 2 episode “Bart Gets Hit by a Car,” this drunk looks at Marge Simpson and exclaims, “What the hell is this?”
However, in Sunday night’s Season 35 episode, “Cremains of the Day,” Larry dies, and Homer, Moe, and fellow bar regulars Lenny and Carl embark on a journey to scatter his ashes.
Since Larry was only a minor character – almost nothing is known about him except that he liked to drink and mumble something incoherently – the script emphasizes that his story remained a mystery.
Realizing they barely knew the late man, Homer and company feel awkward when Larry’s mother reveals to them that he considered Moe’s patrons his “best friends” and asks them to share “fond memories.”
Finally, they have to create one fictitious fishing story.
Die-hard fans of the series were stunned by the loss of this character.
“I just found out that Larry is going to be killed off on The Simpsons tomorrow. I need a minute,” one fan wrote on X.
Another user also mourned the character after the said episode was shown.
“I can’t believe they killed off Larry Dalrymple on The Simpsons last night. Rest in peace Larry,” he wrote.
