Fans were devastated by this unexpected turn in the show's storyline and wasted no time in expressing their disappointment with how the show shattered their hearts.

They discussed their opinions on his passing on X.

A user posted the day prior to the episode's broadcast: “I just found out that they will be writing off Larry from The Simpsons tomorrow. I need a moment to process this.”

One individual expressed their enjoyment of the recent episode of The Simpsons, however, they couldn't help but question the absence of Larry's closest companion, Sam.

One individual expressed: “Oh my goodness, Larry from the Simpsons has passed away. May he rest in peace, our beloved drunken king.”

Co-executive producer Tim Long expressed his regret to TMZ for causing distress among fans and clarified that the intention behind the character's demise was to make a significant impact on the audience.

Long continued by expressing his desire to make a strong impact on the audience through Larry's death, as he was a beloved character despite his limited role in The Simpsons.

He informed Variety via email that although some fans may be disappointed, the intention behind using Larry's death was to emphasize the value and dignity of even the most peripheral individuals in our lives, reminding us not to overlook anyone.

It becomes evident in the following sequences following his demise that it unites the members of the Tavern crew to reflect upon their friend, their treatment towards him, and the means by which they could sustain such a enduring companionship without acquiring any intimate knowledge about him.

The characters intended to have a moment of self-reflection, and they achieved precisely that.

Long mentioned in his email that Larry's life ended in a manner that could be likened to a Shakespearean tragedy: intoxicated, isolated, and with an unexpected possession of sapphires.
