The animated series made a rare move on Sunday's episode, killing off a background character who's been around since season 1.fans were hit with rare heartfelt moment on Sunday's episode, as the show killed off a character who's been around from the very beginning.

The new episode, titled"Cremains of the Day," brought a shock to the usual lushes at Moe's Tavern, where Larry"The Barfly" Dalrymple was found dead on his barstool. Larry had been a long-running background character at Moe's -- having been featured since season 1 back in 1989 -- rarely getting a line or two but always a mainstay as Homer and the gang enjoyed their beers. When he did chime in with a rare aside, the character was voiced by Simpsons mainstay Harry Shearer.

"Raise your glasses to Larry the Barfly," one fan wrote on X , while another shared a short supercut of some of the character's lines.fans may continue the long-running debate about the show's best characters, seasons, or bits, but there's no denying that the animated series continues to eerily predict real-life events.

But soon, things get hairy for the duo as oxygen levels start to be depleted after Homer accidentally gets his submersible partially stuck on a coral reef after losing his father. Homer begins to panic before he falls into a coma, only to wake up days later surrounded by family members.
