In a surprising turn of events, the 15th episode of the 35th season of ‘The Simpsons’ saw the unexpected death of Larry Dalrymple, a regular at Moe’s Tavern. This shocking development has left fans of the show reeling. The creator of the series has stated this unexpected death.
Since 1989, ‘The Simpsons’ animated series has been a parody through the eyes of a middle-class American family consisting of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie, living in the fictional town of Springfield.
It satirizes American culture, society, and television. The show often grabs headlines with its predictions, speculating on current political or societal events that seem to have been foreseen. However, this time, ‘The Simpsons’ is in the news not for a prediction but for a death, which is quite rare in the series.
It all began with the airing of the 15th episode of the 35th season on April 21st, where a regular patron of Moe’s Tavern, Larry Dalrymple, met his demise.
Larry’s death shocked both the viewers and the characters, such as Homer and his friends. Fans were left bewildered.
Larry Dalrymple was a background character who first appeared in 1989.
He often appeared at Moe’s Tavern with Homer Simpson and the gang. Sometimes, he spoke a few lines; other times, he stayed silent.
According to Screen Rant, the show’s producer, Tim Long, apologized to fans for Larry’s death.
Speaking to TMZ, Long said, ‘I apologize to fans for Larry’s death. However, I wanted to make an impact with this writing, and I see that it has indeed had an impact. That’s reassuring because it shows the continued love for the show. But fans shouldn’t worry, we don’t intend to kill off any major characters in ‘The Simpsons.’
