Laurence "Larry" Needlemeyer is a supporting character in The Amazing World of Gumball. He works at almost every store in the town of Elmore, usually as a cashier. It is shown in "The Pizza" that society falls apart if he quits working. He used to be called "Lazy Larry" and was known as the laziest person in Elmore, but the title was stolen by Richard in the summer of 1983.
He was voiced by Kerry Shale, who voiced Tad Stones in Tad The Lost Explorer. In the Japanese version, he is voiced by Yutaro Honjo, who also voiced from Hiro Hamada in Big Hero 6.
Appearance[]
Larry is a humanoid rock. He typically wears a green shirt, an orange tie, a red badge with a diagonal stripe down the middle, and an orange hat with red and white stripes. He also wears black pants and black shoes. His cheeks are pink with freckles on them.
Throughout the show, he wears other uniforms depending on the job. He is incredibly skinny, but his head is disproportionately large and blocky. As Lazy Larry, he transforms into a huge block, which connects his head to his torso.
In season 1, he had a more rocky texture. From season 2 and onwards, those textures were removed, and he looks like he is made out of origami.
Personality[]
Larry is a very hard-working and yet somewhat depressed person who works countless jobs in Elmore. He is often sleep-deprived, usually due to working both day and night shifts. Despite his overbearing and thankless work schedule, he does an admirable job at each of his jobs, and is relatively friendly and amicable despite being somewhat irritable. He can be a forgiving person, as seen in "The Pizza," where in spite of the fact that his frustration with the Wattersons as customers caused him to break down and quit all his jobs, he forgave them anyway.
However, Larry has a history of laziness, as shown in "The Laziest," which reveals he was once titled "Lazy Larry" for being the laziest guy in Elmore.
He loves his fiancée, Karen, and has attempted to propose to her three times in the show. However, he failed on all three occasions.
