Springfield, USA – Larry Dalrymple, a long-standing character from The Simpsons since its inception, met his demise in Season 35, Episode 15 Cremains of the Day. Fans of the iconic show will remember Larry as a background character often seen at Moe’s Tavern for the past 35 years.
Despite having very few lines since his introduction in 1989, Larry played a subtle but consistent role in the series. In his final episode, Cremains of the Day, Larry passed away off-screen at the beginning of the show, leaving behind a legacy of silent presence at Moe’s Tavern.
When Moe decides to clear out his bar, Larry remains seated, only to be discovered lifeless shortly after. Surprisingly, the episode reveals Larry considered Homer, Lenny, Carl, and Moe as his closest friends, even though they never really interacted. The group is then tasked with the responsibility of scattering his ashes.
Harry Shearer, the talented voice behind characters like Mr. Burns and Ned Flanders, among others, lent his voice to Larry throughout these 35 years. As The Simpsons delves deeper into its extensive character roster, it continues to surprise viewers with unexpected twists and nostalgic callbacks.
In a recent episode, Season 34’s Pin Gal, fans were treated to the return of Jacques, a character from Season 1 who resurfaced after a span of over 30 years. This trend of revisiting older characters adds depth and richness to the show’s already extensive universe, appealing to both long-time fans and new viewers alike.
The passing of Larry marks a significant moment in The Simpsons’ history, highlighting the show’s ability to evolve and adapt while honoring its roots. As the series continues to explore new storylines and characters, it remains a beloved staple of pop culture, captivating audiences for over three decades.
