Lawrence "Larry" Dalrymple[1] was one of the two barflies usually seen at Moe's Tavern, along with Sam. Larry had a balding head, and he was 42 years old, just like Sam. He appeared as a background character in several episodes, with little to be known about him until his death in "Cremains of the Day".
Biography[]
Larry is referred to as the ear bender. Larry is talked about being stupid, glum and weird. He rarely speaks. He is one of the people in Moe's Tavern who ogles Marge Simpson and asks "Who's the chick?" in "Bart Gets Hit by a Car". Larry is the tallest of the barflies; he has little black streaks of hair and wears a red jacket. In the episode "The Bob Next Door", he ends up in prison along with Krusty the Clown and Kirk Van Houten for an unknown reason. During "Some Enchanted Evening", Moe Szyslak refers to him as a pig, among Homer and Barney. In "Radioactive Man", after a flashback sequence explaining why Moe failed at becoming a movie star, the patrons can be heard commenting indistinctly and at the end, in one rare, speaking role, Larry can be heard saying "that makes sense". Another time, in "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer (The Mysterious Voyage of Homer)", when Homer enters Moe's Tavern in search of a soul mate, the other patrons there give one word answers of what they are to him in lieu of soul mates. In Larry's instance, he responds, "Colleague."
Larry is mainly seen in the background at Moe's Tavern usually drinking beer. He rarely speaks, only speaking sometimes in a few episodes. He is one of the barflies along with Sam the barfly. He also mainly has a very dumb and drunk look about him. He is usually also in the back corner of the bar with Sam drinking beer as well.
Trivia[]
- Larry only speaks in three episodes in the entire series. In the episode "Bart Gets Hit by a Car", he says "Who's the chick!? [wolf whistles] Woooo!" in reaction to Marge coming in. In "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer (The Mysterious Voyage of Homer)", he says one word, "Colleague". In "Simpson Tide", he says "Hey, this stupid machine took my money!" in Apu's "loved ones" memory.
- In "Duffless" and "Moe Letter Blues", one shot shows two Larrys visible.
- In "Cremains of the Day", he had his first and only major role, wherein he died at the beginning of the episode and didn't have any dialogue. However, we still learned a lot about him;
- His cause of death is unknown. He was shown alive at the episode's opening shot, drinking beer. However, moments later, when Moe kicked everyone out of the bar, he was still sitting in place there, didn't move a muscle, didn't blink his eyes and didn't even flinch. But he was only found to no longer be breathing.
- His last name was revealed to be "Dalrymple".
- We were introduced to his mother, Iris Dalrymple, who seemed like a very nice lady and had heard endless stories from Larry about his friends at Moe's Tavern.
- Larry liked fishing.
- Larry's address is 652 8th Avenue.
- Even though Larry had almost never talked to Homer, Lenny, Carl, or Moe, he always considered himself to be the best of friends with them and an official member of the barfly group, which he called "Moe's Bros".
