Appearance

Larry's appearance is hard to describe. He wears a green shirt, an orange tie, and an orange, white and red hat. He is made completely out of rock. He is incredibly skinny, similar to Rob. His head is very blocky and much larger than logically possible. While being Lazy Larry, he transforms into a huge block, which connects his head to his torso.

Personality

Larry is a very hard working and serious person. He keeps many jobs around Elmore, from being a store clerk to a cashier, and does an admirable job at each of them. Although on many of these occasions, he is accidentally fired or is driven to do so by a member of the Watterson family.

He has a girlfriend named Karen, whom he has attempted to propose to twice, because the first time Gumball and Darwin annoyed him so when he attacked them with his food shouting 'GET OUT OF MY LIFE' he hits Karen by accident, who breaks up with him thinking the Larry hated her. The second time is in The Goons. During the Dumb Race, Richard accidentally picks him up and Larry proposes to him instead of Karen.

Jobs

Similar to Rocky, Larry works numerous jobs.

Laser Video

Larry's first job was at Laser Video. He is the cashier of the store, though he probably got fired after he failed to get repayment of the late fee from the DVD that Gumball and Darwin broke. It is very similar to Ripley 2000 from "The Refund".

The Gas Station

In "The Spoon", Larry was then seen as a cashier at The Gas Station. He probably got fired from there too after he failed to keep the money of the store safe from the robbery.

The Supermarket

Larry worked here as a cashier after getting fired from his previous jobs. He most likely got fired because of yelling at a customer as an attempt to get Gumball and Darwin away from him. This has so far been his longest job he held.

Joyful Burger

It is Larry's fourth job and works as a cashier there, and has not yet been fired from there. Probably for a late night shift since Carrie came at night.

Shoe Store

It is his fifth job and he works as a cashier as usual. He was seen doing his job there in "The Prank", where Richard wanted to return the shoes he bought originally for Gumball and Darwin (for his prank), but denied the return because there were baked beans contained inside the shoes.

Ripley 2000

For his sixth job, he works as a clerk, as he does in his other jobs, in the local videogame store. He was first featured working here in "The Refund", when he denies Gumball and Darwin a refund for their computer game. He may have been fired from there as he failed to keep Gumball from getting a refund and abandoned his post. However, in the video "What Dad Would Do for a Sausage Part 1" he is seen working there.

Fervidus Pizza

In "The Job", Larry works for Fervidus Pizza Delivery. Larry is Richard's employer, and he fires Richard for eating parts of the pizzas he had to deliver.

Elmore Shopping

He is seen working there in "Christmas" as the mall Santa in a small cabin called "Santa's Grotto". His girlfriend Karen is also seen directly outside of it, dressed as an elf.
