Larry the Lobster

"But the Best Thing is, you are the only thing that stands between these good people, and a watery Grave

      —-- Larry to Spongebob is SpongeGuard on Duty

Larry Timothy Lobster

Lawrence Timothy "Larry" Lobster (born January 8, 1985 is a muscular red lobster who is a common patron and lifeguard of Bikini Bottom's popular beach, Goo Lagoon. He is voiced by Doug Lawrence. Larry first appeared in the episode "Ripped Pants". Although he appears in many episodes, Larry is a relatively minor character in the series, usually relegated to minor or background roles. He is also 26 years old.

Larry is a bodybuilder and is often seen competing or working out. He is always seen in his swim trunks, even when not at the beach, similar to Patrick. He regularly goes to Bikini Bottom's beach, The Goo Lagoon, and works as a lifeguard there, as seen most notably in "SpongeGuard on Duty". Larry is one of the strongest creatures in Bikini Bottom, possibly second only to Sandy Cheeks, of whom he is a good friend. Larry is very popular and is idolized by many other beachgoers. In "Band Geeks", it is stated that Larry's heart once gave out from too many tanning pills, and in "Roller Cowards" he is revealed to have a bad armpit odor that is caused by adrenaline. Larry has also run for Bikini Bottom president against Patrick Star. His campaign slogan is "Do you want a president that does not drool when he thinks? Vote for Larry!" Despite this, he lost to Patrick unanimously on February 19, 2007 by 100% of the votes. Larry's implied parents appear in "SpongeGuard on Duty". However, they are not lobsters, they are generic "old person" character models. Larry kicks his own parents off of the beach for being too "old and unsightly", in an ironically polite manner.

Larry appears in the video games "SpongeBob SquarePants: Employee of the Month", "Lights, Camera, Pants!", and "Battle for Bikini Bottom".

Personality

He is a usual polite, and orderly lobster, he also takes pride in being a lifeguard, knowing that he is the only thing seperating the bottomites from a Watery grave. He was angry in Bubble Buddy, and A Life in a Day, for a good reason. He even kicked his parents out for being old, but so poleitly they did not take offense to it.

Personal Life

He is a LifeGuard and he spends most of his public life at Goo Lagoon, where he is admired by all Beachgoers, but it is unclear about his personal life. He is known to have almost passed out by taking too many tanning pills, though it is only mentioned. He goes to a grocery store to pick up groceries. He is the son of Mable and Dennis (Citizen). He also has a cousin that is apparently tough like him.
