Larry Needlemeyer

 Laurence "Larry" Needlemeyer is a supporting character in The Amazing World of Gumball. He works at almost every store in the town of Elmore, usually as a cashier. Larry is not fooled easily, and generally dislikes most anyone who bears the surname "Watterson." Larry manages to keep up with all his jobs by "working very hard", but he has been fired on at least one occasion. He used to be called "Lazy Larry" when he was lazy.

Appearance
Larry's appearance is hard to describe. He wears a green shirt, an orange tie, and an orange, white and red hat. He is made completely out of rock. He is very skinny, and his head is much larger than logically possible. While being Lazy Larry, he transforms into a huge block, which connects his head to his torso.

Personality
Larry is a very hard working and serious person. He keeps many jobs around Elmore, from being a store clerk to a cashier, and does an admirable job at each of them. Although on many of these occasions, he is accidentally fired or is driven to do so by a member of the Watterson family.

He has a girlfriend named Karen, whom he has attempted to propose to twice,because the first time Gumball and Darwin annoyed him so when he attacked them with his food shouting 'LEAVE ME ALONE' he hits Karen by accident, who breaks up with him thinking the Larry hated her.Then in The Goons while proposing to Karen Richard picks him up ,while running blindfolded,Larry accidently proposes to Richard who says he needs time to think about this leaving Larry flaberghasted.

Jobs
Similar to Rocky Robinson, Larry works numerous jobs.

Laser Video
Larry's first job was at Laser Video. He is the cashier of the store, though he probably got fired after he failed to get repayment of the late fee from the DVD that Gumball and Darwin broke. It is very similar to Ripley 2000 from "The Refund."

The Gas Station
Larry was then seen as a cashier at The Gas Station. He probably got fired from there too after he failed to keep the money of the store safe from the robbery.

The Supermarket
Larry worked here as a cashier after getting fired from his previous jobs. He most likely got fired because of yelling at a customer as an attempt to get Gumball and Darwin away from him. This has so far been his longest job he held.

Joyful Burger
It is Larry's fourth job and works as a cashier there, and has not yet been fired from there. Probably for a late night shift since Carrie came at night.

Shoe Store
It is his fifth job and he works as a cashier as usual. He was seen doing his job there in "The Prank," where Richard wanted to return the shoes he bought originally for Gumball and Darwin (for his prank), but denied the return because there were baked beans contained inside the shoes.

Ripley 2000
For his sixth job, he works as a clerk, as he does in his other jobs, in the local videogame store. He was first featured working here in "The Refund," when he denies Gumball and Darwin a refund for their computer game. He may have been fired from there as he failed to keep Gumball from getting a refund and abandoned his post. However, in the video "What Dad Would Do for a Sausage Part 1" he is seen working there.

Elmore Mall
He is seen working there in "Christmas" as the mall Santa in a small cabin called "Santa's Grotto". His girlfriend Karen is also seen directly outside of it, dressed as an elf.
