* EarnYourHappyEnding: "Planet Silly" ends with Sad Larry not only saving the day, but also gaining true happiness for the first through clown magic. While his therapist berates him over such a ridiculous notion, the short ends with Sad Larry proudly leaving the therapist's office, still smiling.

* MiseryPoker: With Harry the Handsome Butcher, after he'd lost his job, his looks and was forced to become a circus freak and live in a cage he yelled "Am I the saddest man in the world?" To which Larry from the next cage over [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder replied "No I am."]], having a sign signifying himself as just that.

Ambiguous Disorder is not a trope anymore, but a redirect to a YMMV entry.


* AmbiguousDisorder: Along with depression, it seems like he now has PTSD as well by the time of the christmas episode.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* DownerEnding: UpToEleven and then some. Every episode he is in has such a dire conclusion that it makes requiem for a dream look optimistic.

Added DiffLines:

* LoserProtagonist: While he's one of the most frequent regulars in the series, he's also a lightning rod for misfortune and a social pariah, so it's a given he's this.


Added DiffLines:

* OnlySaneMan: He's more subdued and realistic in his behavior than most other characters, though he's too depressed to benefit from this in any way.


Added DiffLines:

* TheQuietOne: He doesn't talk much unless spoken to and the most sound he makes is when he cries.

* AmusingInjuries: He tries to hang himself, breaks the fan he's hanging from, and gets crushed by a fat man in a bathtub.

* AmusingInjuries: He tries to hang himself, breaks the fan he's hanging from, and gets crushed by a fat man in a bathtub. All of these would kill him in anything but Cyanide and happiness, but even excruciating pain isn't a gateway to a merciful death for him.

* KnightOfCerebus: While his first skit is rather funny in a bleak way, later appearances of his are meant to be as soul-crushing and hopeless as possible, cyanide without any happiness put in.

* NiceGuy: He's peaceful and makes an effort to help others despite his myriad of struggles, though this doesn't stop everyone from hating his guts.



* SingleEpisodeHandicap: His injuries don't tend to last, mainly so something worse can happen to him later on.

* SingleEpisodeHandicap: His injuries don't tend to last, mainly so something worse can happen to him later on. If they do carry over, they're severely lessened so that he has enough to lose when his body is maimed again.


Added DiffLines:

* DeathByGluttony: [[spoiler:He falls onto a beartrap after getting too fat to stay standing. This is retconned, though his fat suit never recovers from its injuries.]]


Added DiffLines:

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His name is a parody on Bear Grylls and they're both survival experts with television shows. Ted Bear's habit of stumbling across fortunate sources of food is a reference to a criticism directed at Bear Grylls that he's misrepresenting the situations he films himself in by being CrazyPrepared beforehand. His Australian accent and love of animals may also be a reference to Steve Irwin.


Added DiffLines:

* RefugeInAudacity: His advice is nonsensical and his actions moreso, yet he succeeds with flying colors, pulling off outlandish and counterintuitive feats with astounding success. Only Ted Bear could swim up a waterfall and swordfight a monster, and have those be insignificant enough to only be stills.

Added DiffLines:

* TruthInTelevision: Larry is actually a very realistic depiction of depression. He's withdrawn, lacks interest or motivation, and feels empty and hopeless. He speaks in a monotone due to lacking energy because of his depression. It's even more surprising considering how cartoonish and exaggurated everything in C&H usually is.

Added DiffLines:

* HatedByAll: Nobody likes Larry, which sucks as he doesn't seem like that bad of a guy. It's almost a RunningGag just how unpopular he is.


Added DiffLines:

* ProneToTears: He cries a lot, though considering how awful his life is, it comes as no surprise that he does this.
