History VideoGame / LeisureSuitLarryMagnaCumLaude

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: If you fail at a minigame enough times, the game will let you skip it -- albeit at the cost of some secret tokens, meaning you won't be able to buy things like artwork or Nude Mode.

* UnsettlingGenderReveal:[[spoiler: Koko the troubled mime turns out to be a transwoman sporting a package large enough to make an audible *THUD* upon opening her fly. This revelation is enough to put Larry into the fetal position.]]

-->'''Bar Patron:''' '''Our''' town's a craphole?! '''You're''' a craphole! ''[throws a beer bottle at the camera crew]''

* ShoutOut: ''Swingles'' is an obvious parody of the trashy early 2000s dating show ''Singles'', while hostess Uma Yasmine is named after actresses Creator/UmaThurman and [[Series/Baywatch Yasmine]] [[Series/NashBridges Bleeth]].

* IKnewThereWasSomethingAboutYou: In the Ione L story, when Larry is confronted by several angry people over his earlier actions (see WhatTheHellHero below), he panics and the only thing he can do is shout "I'M GAY!" After shocked reactions from those around, ''Larry's own penis'' has this reaction.

* MiniGame: About 70% of the gameplay by weight.

* RhythmGame: Plenty of the mini-games are based on this.

* BiTheWay: Due to Luba's AnythingThatMoves tendencies, she's done it all, and with anyone and everyone. [[spoiler: The end of the Ione-L arc reveals that she and Ione are now more than just roommates.]]

[[caption-width-right:250:This ain't your weird uncle's ''Leisure Suit Larry''. Come to think of it, neither is it Al Lowe's.]]

* InformedAttractiveness: Ione is constantly referred to as being unattractive, but the only difference between her and some of the other girls is that she doesn't dress provocatively. Larry "fixes" her with a MakeoverMontage, which ends with her dressing in a leopard-print tube-top, miniskirt, fishnet stockings, high heels and a lot of makeup, as well as removing her [[TheGlassesGottaGo glasses]].

* MercyMode: ''Magna Cum Laude'' will let you opt out of a minigame if you fail it enough times; however, doing so costs some the secret tokens you need if you want to purchase extras like concept art and Nude Mode.

* {{Gasshole}}: When you manage to talk Luba Licious, the bisexual, slutty, HardDrinkingPartyGirl, out of the bar, and after you complete the minigame to get her out of the bar, she lets out a long, deep, loud, brassy belch before leaving, as a result of chugging three shots of tequila.

* DoesNotLikeMen: [[spoiler: Ione becomes a rather hateful lesbian following the traumatic events of her initial encounter with Larry. She eases up by the end of her second arc, but she's still quite androphobic and shrieks in terror upon seeing his penis again.

* UnsettlingGenderReveal:[[spoiler: Koko the troubled mime is a crossdressing boy.]]

** The sorority house has a series of plaques on the wall with EGA portraits of women from the old games.

* ItWasHereISwear: Larry, while trying to nail his science teacher, accidentally switches his mind with a talking lab monkey. After getting switched back, he tries to tell the teacher about the machine, only to point to an empty space with dust and faded paint around where the machine used to be.

* TheGlassesGottaGo: When attempting to give Ione a makeover, Larry starts with this, [[InvokedTrope mentioning]] that [[GenreSavvy it always works in movies]]. [[SubvertedTrope Then he puts them right back on]]. [[TakeOurWordForIt Apparently]] her squinting is rather bad.

* AnimatedActors: One of the chat scenes between Larry Lovage and band geek Harriet has Larry break character to harangue his agent for most of the scene about [[WhoWritesThisCrap how lousy]] [[LampshadeHanging this storyline is]]; if you lose the minigame, Harriet storms off to her trailer at the end.
