Merged per TRS


* UnwinnableByMistake: A programmer fixed one error, but accidentally caused another one by defining "bag" as a verb. That means that, in the last puzzle, you can't say "Put bag in bottle", which causes Larry to throw the bottle into the volcano without lighting it on fire, making the game unwinnable. You have to specify the bag. "The bag", "brown bag" and "airsick bag" are all acceptable, just "bag" is not.

* AffablyEvil: The in-game version of Ken Williams that Larry meets in the place is quite friendly, engaging in a conversation with Larry about his latest job before scalping him. Even then, he doesn't seem to do it out of actual malice to our hero.

You thought your life was complete: You had found true love with a beautiful woman, with a beautiful car and a beautiful home, all in beautiful Los Angeles... but instead, you're out on the streets again! What will you do?''"

* RelocatingTheExplosion: Larry steals a random suitcase that turns out to be a bomb. He tries to take it out of the airport, but it explodes near the ticket counter, however it's a comically small explosion he dismisses as a firecracker.



* SpannerInTheWorks: So much. Of the unaware variety. Seriously, [[IdiotHero Larry]] ends up screwing Nonookee's plot without ever being aware of it, and to add insult to injury, kill him by accident.

* AmbiguousSyntax: ValleyGirl Barbra Bimbo is asked if she's ready, and says "Yes, and I've made my decision, you know, '''too'''." The announcer thinks she means she picked bachelor two, Larry, but she was actually going to pick number three.



* ShowWithinAShow: There are two in-universe game shows: ''The Dating Connection'' and ''Lucky Life'', both of which Larry wins and gets prizes from (a cruise with Barbara Bimbo and 1000000$ per year), though he also ends up losing them ultimately making his participation pointless (Barbara's mother goes with Larry instead, but Larry sinks the ship they're on, and the company giving him money goes bankrupt).

* BarbieDollAnatomy: Averted on Nontoonyt Island, where you do see (from a distance) their nipples of many topless women. The crude graphics make them little more than darker dots, though.

* NationalGeographicNudity: Nontoonyt Island has many topless girls, and upon meeting Kalalau there, Larry could only go, "SHE'S TOPLESS!!!" Funnily enough, in the end when Larry removes the brainwashing effect of Dr. Nonookee from several hypnotized native girls, they respond by tearing off their tops!

Added DiffLines:

* ArcWords: The Trite Phrase, which you can set to whatever you like (by default it's "Have a nice day.") and characters will state it over a dozen times throught the game.
* AsleepInClass: Larry has slept through Spanish classes back in high school.


Added DiffLines:

* CatchingSomeZs: When Larry sleeps on the U.S.S. Love Tub, z letters come out of his mouth.


Added DiffLines:

* ObfuscatingStupidity: One guy on the street pretends to be some stupid drunk, but is actually a KGB agent who can give Larry something that makes him collapse.
* OhCrap: The woman who gives the onklunk to Larry gets a sudden realisation when it turns out she didn't give it to the right guy.


Added DiffLines:

* TimedMission: Probably the most instances in a ''Larry'' game, though it doesn't cover the entire game like the predecessor.
** After winning ''The Dating Connection'' and getting the ticket for the U.S.S. Love Tub, Larry must do whatever he needs to in L.A. before the boat leaves the port.
** On the U.S.S. Love Tub, Larry has to escape before night falls and he returns to his cabin and Mama Bimbo gets him.
** When Larry buys the ticket for Aerodork Airlines, he has to get to Gate #1 before he misses the plane.
** When Larry actually gets on the plane and distracts Ken, he must open the door and fall out of the plane, otherwise he'll get caught by the KGB for the last time.

* ConsolationPrize: The losers of show-within-a-game "The Dating Connection" received one year's supply of armadillo polish, twenty cases of black shoelaces, and, of course, a copy of the HomeGame.



* OneSteveLimit: Averted for Ken (on the airplane) and Chief Ken (Keeneewauwau) on Nontoonyt Island. They do sorta look the same (both were derived from Sierra president Ken Williams), but have different personalities. Ken on Nontoonyt will help you and you get to marry his daughter, but Ken on the plane will, like [[EverythingTryingToKillYou nearly everyone else on the planet]], KILL you, specifically with his hair transplant scheme[[note]]There is a possible ''third'' Ken in the resort restaurant, but he is just referred to as "Mr. Williams"[[/note]].
