The Simpsons "Eleanor Rigby" parody. All the Lonely Barflies (full version)

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

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.

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

They didn't need to put that much effort into that Eleanor Rigby parody, but I'm glad they did

Kinda disgraceful that his other friend, Sam the Barfly was just swept under the rug

Ive watched the simpsons my entire life and i never knew his name was larry.

we all don't want to die like Larry, lonely and depressed

You can say what you want about Modern Simpsons. This is incredible.

Meanwhile, Larry wherever he is: OH NOW YOU GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ME-

"He died... unloved... in a bar!" So much contempt in Marge's voice towards the word "bar", and yet she already hated Moe's.

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 ❤

Oh, and Sam was there, too.

Man…….this had shades of Simpsons Season 3-10 when their parodies were ON POINT! We need more of this!

Larry the barfly picks up the teeth in a bar where a fight has just been Lives in a dream...

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.

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.

Midwest in peace Larry I think you're the greatest character on The Simpsons episode of History😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

The Eleanor Rigby reference was on point

Now just wait till they kill off Sam, then the tears will really roll

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.
