The Simpsons has bid farewell to one of its beloved animated characters, Larry, in a recent episode that has left fans devastated. Larry’s death in the episode titled ‘Cremains of the Day’ came as a shock to viewers, who have taken to social media to express their grief. Co-producer Tim Long revealed that the team intentionally sought to surprise audiences with this installment.
Larry, known as the barfly, had a limited presence in the show but had managed to garner a loyal following. His demise has highlighted the enduring popularity of The Simpsons and the emotional bond that fans have with its characters. The episode featuring Larry’s death also explored the themes of friendship and loss, as Homer, Moe, Carl, and Lenny attended his funeral and realized they knew little about him.
Larry’s departure from The Simpsons is not an isolated incident. Over the years, several other characters have been written out of the show, including Ned Flanders’ first wife, Maude, Lisa’s mentor, Bleeding Gums Murphy, and Krusty’s dad, Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky. Despite these departures, The Simpsons continues to thrive, with fans eagerly anticipating each new episode.
