- "Cremains of the Day" Season 35, Episode 15
In many ways, Larry Dalrymple was a supporting player in our lives. He didn't grab our attention with memorable catchphrases... or comical accents. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
It's ironic that, in an episode about a character dying alone and forgotten, they forgot to include the one character they paired larry with
modern simpsons are trash
Poor Sam
Possibly died before Larry
This is all their fault because Larry died when he had no one to be a friend
They said in a tweet that even mentioning Sam, would require them to give him his own episode or cut away on why he isn't there (which they already used for Barney).
It’s kind of ingenious how they used the ‘kill off random side character no Simpsons fan has not thought about for years for shock value/ratings boost” trope and actually managed to weave a decently emotionally affecting narrative out of it. Larry might be a seemingly random character to kill off and make a big deal out of, considering he was basically a background character. But that’s precisely the point the episode makes. The tragedy of Larry was he was a background character and none of the guys, Springfield or us the audience truly paid attention to him until he was gone. Leaving us with a sobering message about loneliness and how we often tend to forget some people. Never taking the time to reach out and give some connection to all those lonely people.
Also, this Yellow Submarine/Elinor Rigby homage is on point.
Very true, I’ve started to get interested in the history of background characters like Larry and Sam because of this episode. Tragic that neither of them ever got more than a few lines in their 35 years of appearances. Let’s hope Sam returns one day and is doing well
As a kid I don't know why but I always remembered Sam and Larry in Moe's tavern for some reason. I always thought "they're always there, but I never get to know who they really are".
@@casualgamers3369I started paying attention to them after playing Tapped Out years ago
The weird thing is that Sam seemed like his friend & was never featured in the episode.
@@jacobr5627Matt Selmann said that had Sam been there, the episode would have been too different. So they had to ignore him (and also send Barney away).
Larry the Barfly, died in the bar and was buried along with his name
Nobody came
Reverend Lovejoy, wiping the sweat from his brow as he walked from the grave
Nobody was saved
All the lonely Larries.
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely Larries.
Where do they all belong?
In the immortal words of Lisa Simpson. "That would of made a lot more sense".
Better than the parody we got
@@Peter-oy6nz Pretty sure they know the lyrics, just went with the theme rather than rip off Paul McCartney.
czcams.com/video/HuS5NuXRb5Y/video.html Though Larry would certainly fit in as a stanza in the original song The Simpsons made it as a tribute to Larry (and lonely people that are in our lives that we won't miss till they are gone.)
They didn't need to put that much effort into that Eleanor Rigby parody, but I'm glad they did
If these had been the actual lyrics... it might not have been as good, but it sure wouldn't have sucked.
@@sturmovik1274 Would've been even funnier if they got Paul Mccartney to come and sing this. xD
I think it would’ve been just as good if it was the same lyrics, but obviously some stuff is replaced by simpsons references
Kinda disgraceful that his other friend, Sam the Barfly was just swept under the rug
You can say what you want about Modern Simpsons. This is incredible.
Ive watched the simpsons my entire life and i never knew his name was larry.
I seen him and heard his name! Maybe Larry should've at least to talk to him or vise versa
we all don't want to die like Larry, lonely and depressed
Meanwhile, Larry wherever he is: OH NOW YOU GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ME-
To be fair, that is literally the point of the episode
"He died... unloved... in a bar!" So much contempt in Marge's voice towards the word "bar", and yet she already hated Moe's.
We’ll in the guy’s defence, Larry never really connected with them in any of his appearances.
@@Dalek44 Nor did that guy with the glasses and purple and green hat
@@SilverScribe85 I heard that guy's name was Sam
@Dalek44 actually I think Larry did try to but they just ignored him in homers words he said that "Larry never really fit in" and its seen in a book that Larry really cared about them and said the moes was the happiest place for him just cause they were there. And that's incredibly realistic. I was a Larry to my friend's. I cared about them dearly, but I was often forgotten and left alone. This episode was really hard to watch since I could relate to Larry without the gem smuggling and alcoholism :(
Poor guy he so need some love
Man…….this had shades of Simpsons Season 3-10 when their parodies were ON POINT! We need more of this!
If these had been the actual lyrics... it might not have been as good, but it sure wouldn't have sucked.
I actually quite liked this episode. Its treatment of Larry reminded me of The Amazing World of Gumball, where they make you invested in a side character you otherwise wouldn't have thought twice about. (Bar)Fly high, Larry ❤
That’s a really good comparison, it’s a very Gumball thing to do.
Oh, and Sam was there, too.
Yeah but Charlie, the guy with the glasses, and got sucked into Mr burns tube thing, isn't he hasn't been seen since the government agents arrested him for conspiracy
@@williambowes-xt2sm"Mr. Burns' tube thing" excuse me but what the hell are you talking about?
@dannybrezelhorner2715 dance! Dance! Dance!
Just like in real life. There are a lot of Larrys over there. But nobody will know or care until they're gone.
They don't deserve that but they got it.
If these had been the actual lyrics... it might not have been as good, but it sure wouldn't have sucked.
Larry the barfly picks up the teeth in a bar where a fight has just been
Lives in a dream...
Midwest in peace Larry I think you're the greatest character on The Simpsons episode of History😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Is it bad I sometimes feel myself being Larry myself? I'm pretty much a "Background character in real live". Like, I do want to do something interesting, meet people but in the ned I just can't. I just either sit or stay alone, minding my own business and I even talk little in real life, when I absolutely have to.
Dont worry buddy, you are not alone
@dahaka-rd6tw as someone who's about to get his first counselling qualification I can firmly say, definitley go out there and spend time with people in person, human connections are very very important! I recommend suishi and karate classes, you'll meet people and get a great meal! Trust me I know
@@williambowes-xt2sm I actually was going to suggest a club of some kind. Whatever interests you probably has a group gathering somewhere out there that would love to have you on board. Reading, bowling, music, you name it.
@@boydixonentertainment definitley do something that involves getting to know people, I highly recommend it, I suggest a good community centre place do karate or something, social connections will cure what ails ya and turn you into Bruce Lee, it's to do with the pre frontal cortex
I think generally speaking everyone is always a background character in someone else's life. TBH that's quite a lot of people these days. There's more problems with Larry than just on the surface. Larry is an example of someone who is in a bad situation and doesn't take the initiative to make it better. He drinks to mask the pain instead of taking action. The problem is being unhappy, but being ok with doing nothing about it.
I think there are many men in this world who live lives of quiet desperation,uncared for and unappreciated, many of them either end up dead from suicide or they find what little solace they can at the bottom of a bottle.
If these had been the actual lyrics... it might not have been as good, but it sure wouldn't have sucked.
The Eleanor Rigby reference was on point

I literally want this version to be on Spotify
Now just wait till they kill off Sam, then the tears will really roll
Great reference
When I first read the information about this episode before it's aired about someone in Homer's life passes away I have no idea at the time which character is going to die but I never thought this character is the one.
After the news broke out, producer Matt Selman had some fun on Twitter with pictures of Homer's family members... and Larry. It was fun seeing all the memes & shitposts that came after.
Same! And since all of the pictures kept showing Homer and the barflies, I legit thought that it was gonna be Barney who died since a lot of people who work on the show hate him and have basically put him through hell.
At least Moe and the barflies (and one of the barfly's family) came to the funeral, compared to Eleanor Rigby's funeral.
As a ghost he looks like those water kingdom guys from that early Futurama episode
Elenor Rigby parody.
I use to think the song was called Ah Look At All The Lonely People ( just cos those lyrics seem to hit your ears the moment it starts ). It's a clever parody like.
Bleeding Gums Murphy, Maude Flanders, Mona Simpson, and now Larry Dalrymple. They all fly high together now 🕊️
Fat Tony and Edna Krabappel, too.
I used to have lots of friends. Now I'm a lot like Larry.
Same
I love how contemporary Simpsons tackle profound stories about side characters and expand its universe.
I wish they had at least given him speaking lines before having him die.
This makes think of how similar I am to Larry.
They felt bad in that drive scene
0:41 the best part of the song
I thought it was going to be Barney.
Nah man, Barney became a hero in another country
I don't think the Simpsons would kill off a popular character like Barney. Especially after the mixed reception "Clown in the Dumps" got, as well as how Maude's death negatively affected Ned as a character.
@@i.m.evilhomer5084I don’t think Krusty’d dad was that beloved. I think the mixed reception came from how much of a ratings trap that episode was.
@@i.m.evilhomer5084 perhaps not for the time being.
This song really explains why i don't have any friends
My god...MARGE ACTUALLY SOUNDS GOOD HERE!
We’ll all remember where we were when Larry the Barfly died. I was taking a dump.
LOL!!!!
Which is more sadder, Gambit’s death in X-Men 97 or Larry’s death in the Simpsons?
Gambit lol
People asking about Sam: iirc, Moe kicked him out of the bar for trying to pay his tab with Sacagawea dollar coins.
Why didnt he just talk to them?
This is a good point. Larry is one of those characters you kinda feel bad for, but he has made no effort to actually make his situation better. It's hard to explain, but there's a group of people who are almost ok with being unhappy. It makes no sense saying it out loud, but the more I look at it the more I can't unsee it.
@@casualgamers3369Do you not understand depressed people???
Yeah a lot of people are more comfortable being miserable than working on being less miserable. Especially after you spend so long miserable that it becomes part of your identity. People don't like the idea of changing who they are for the approval of other people, and they don't see any value in changing for their own sake. There are approximately 4 billion different reasons a person could choose to be unhappy and comfortable.@@casualgamers3369
You are part of the problem.
Some people just can’t socialize with people
The strange guy with the umbrella at point 0:40 is a Banksy, where Banksy did a graffiti of a group of spies monitoring a telephone booth at British town Cheltenham, site of UK spy agency GCHQ (who cyber work with the NSA). Later in the video, we learn Larry was working for the Mafia boss Fat Tony, so maybe Larry did not have such a boring life after all.
Goodbye Lawrence
R.I.P Larry the Barfly
Tristezza....anni '60....molto british.
I remember this guy from tap out
Why wasn’t Sam the barfly at Larry’s funeral?
he should have been there
P.S: Love Canada from Spain :)
@@danieltourinho2057 Thank you! Love Spain 🇪🇸 from Canada 🇨🇦 :-)
this hits too close to home.
I was thinking the same thing.
horrifically close, its a fear of mine actually to go out that way.
what would be the point of my life would be the question id have.
@@KingofRedBrick What's the point of anyone's life? And besides, once you go, you won't have any questions.
NGL, my biggest fear the closer I get to my late 30s. Keep your peeps close and in contact.
Ghost Larry actually looks a lot like Graggle.
Rip larry...
Poor Larry
Marge never even talked to Larry or so much as mentioned him.
The closest Simpsons has ever come to making me cry 💦
what about that other dude with the hat and glasses?
Have to agree with some fans.
This episode could have worked as a Moe centered episode instead.
What song specifically is this parodying?
Eleanor Rigby by the Beatles, in the "revolver" or "yellow submarine" album
@@Dobbles862 The song is in the Revolver album, but it's in the Yellow Submarine movie as well while Old Fred is looking throughout Liverpool looking for someone to save Pepperland.
TBH this is a pretty bad parody in terms of following the structure of the original. I understand it's probably to avoid copyright restrictions though.
@@casualgamers3369 yeah, but the Simpsons hasn't done a good parody in years.
Okay, Larry had every chance to speak up. Can’t feel too sad for him
His name was Larry?
I'm confused, why does Marge's voice actually sound okay in a recent episode?
I think they're using AI to correct the voice now. Because yeah I noticed this too. It sounds like Marge from the original seasons.
@@adexo_o That doesn't explain why Mr. Burns still sounds off.
@TomTheyy perhaps they haven't budgeted to make a good enough AI model for him or they've not prioritised it.
It's has been long rumoured that she was sick with something & may have recovered recently. She's a private woman, so we may not know the truth unless somebody asks one of the crew members.
@@adexo_o It's unlikely they used AI as The Simpsons is a union show & they might be in hot water if they did as I think they have to disclose it to the unions & the general public.
Im just wondering where Sam was in the episode because they were always together.
There's footage of Larry and it's only 2 minutes long.. I wonder what's going to happen to Sam.. Is he still being held in prison? That is only my theory because he was arrested when Homer was working with the FBI for his rushed tax form shaped like a football.
What happened to Barney?
He was doing humanitarian work. No, seriously.
Huh. Julie Kavner actually sounded decent as Marge. Tell me, is her Marge voice getting better or was this a one-episode thing?
She sounded fine in another episode this in season called "Murder, She Boat". It's has been long rumoured that she was sick with something. She's a private woman, so we may not know the truth unless somebody asks one of the crew members.
I don't even remember this guy. Also this sounds like a anime op
What the hell… is this what the Simpsons is now? I haven’t watched it since 2003.
Where is Barney Gumble?
1:14
What about Sam ? Guy with green ha/ round glasses
Who sang lead in this?
It was sung by Sara Mann.
Why does it sound nothing like the song its parodying?
Sounds like persona 5
0:58
The Beatles Parody 0:09
Lyrics?
Ahhhh, Look at all the lonely barflies.
Ahhhh, Look at all the lonely barflies.
Larry the barfly,
Sat at a stool every night,
And he ordered a beer.
Shedding a tear.
Look at him eating,
Checking his phone all alone,
As he sits with his pain.
Chicken chow mien.
All the lonely Larrys.
They all come to an end.
All the lonely Larrys.
Forgotten by their friends.
@@veronicapiccinini7956Thanks You,
And the lyrics of the moment of Car of Moe?
@@mathiasroman5365 All the lonely barflies.
Confronting mortal dread.
Their souls in need of searching.
They booze it up instead.
@@veronicapiccinini7956 Thank You Much ❤
I hate that the music had to be changed like this because Simpsons didn't have the rights. I know it can only barely sound like the original, but the changes made to the rhythm and pitches make this sound horribly off-putting and unmusical, in my opinion.
Really? I like it. I wouldn't say it sounds off putting or unmusical, just different from the song its parodying.
No Barney, eh. I had to look at the Wikipedia entry: not killed off (I haven't seen the show in 20 years, so I have no idea what's happened). So where is he? I'm gonna guess they quietly moved Barney off the show for the most part. Too triggering for our neurotically sensitive culture, so moralistic and censorious. The Beatles tune is barely recognizable, no doubt because of the lawyers, so why bother? I don't like to be so negative, but this is bad, imo. I guess I'm the only one, oh well
Does Fox no longer have enough money to pay for the original version of this song by The Beatles?
It makes sense to make a parody and change the lyrics to fit the character. Like akin to Weird Al.
Oh, I’m sorry, I genuinely didn’t realise that they had changed the lyrics. Thank you, that makes a lot more sense.
Meh still rather be Larry than Gill 😂
After spending minutes of my life going through the comments I feel like Peter Griffin when he gets that Star Bucks gift card:
“This has been an unproductive use of my time.”
Good parody, probably only the good thing about the new series.
Yeah
Waiting so long after your show peaked and now resorting to kill off very minor characters is somewhere between pointless and pathetic, but The Simpsons will continue on this road until the final indignity, meaning cancellation.
I actually thought that this episode was pretty good it was like a 7 or an 8 out of ten episode
@@firechillbro720
It's pointless to argue over opinions, but to give my view context, I watched the first 12 seasons of the show, right from the first episode, and ever since they turned Seymour Skinner into Armand Tanzarian and voluntarily erased Apu, I lost all respect for the show and the creator.
@@gabrielboorom2683 yeah I never watch modern simpsons cause I hear that it's trash but like this episode might be an exception it was a pretty wholesome episode with some pretty decent jokes but yeah u prolly right most of the modern episodes are pretty bad
Sounds like AI
How? The lyrics were done by the writers of the episode & singer is Sara Mann.
this would have been a lot better if the song parody/cover wasn't soooooo horrible lol
" the urn jammed the wheel "
" Larry saved us " !!
