This thread is for times you think Larry was completely wrong with his argument, or was totally in the wrong. For me these two stand out;
Larry repeatedly saying "chicken" to Yoshi was definitely deliberate and he has no case in 'Kamikaze Bingo' (Season 5)
Larry was definitely wrong in walking into a little girls room and cutting her dolls hair..I don't think there's any excuse for that one in 'The Doll' (Season 2)
The episode where he was worried that he had overtipped the waiters/servers at the country club. With his money, he shouldn't be worried about giving away a lot of money.

Ugh, nothing about Larry prioritizing his TiVo over his wife scared for her life on the airplane? That couldn't be a clearer case of self-centeredness. The way he handled the situation after Cheryl came back was abysmal as well. He did not once acknowledge her feelings and just continued to talk over her.

Well, for one, he didn't grasp the gravity of the situation. Had a guy talking to him, couldn't really hear her on account of bad reception and her being frantic. He didn't believe she was going to die b/c he had no idea what she was saying. I doubt seriously that even Larry would be so obtuse.
On the other hand, if he did deliberately do that (which he didn't), she really deserves it. When he "died" in season 5, Cheryl did not give 2 sh!ts he had just "died" and immediately started arguing about money over his deathbed. She didn't care when she really thought he was actually dead, so why would she even deserve Larry to be there for her, especially given he didn't really know what was going on? And what gives her the right to be so hypocritical and then get so upset when the shoe is on the other foot?
I can tell you when he definitely was NOT wrong and that was when that disgusting couple, the Loebs, wouldn't accept the wedding gift because it was over a year old. I was hoping he would smash that three hundred dollar bottle of wine, as he threatened, and cut their respective throats with it.
Same with the jerk who gets mad at an apple being thrown into his outdoor trash can, the humorless receptionist with the girlfriend who hits Larry (he'd definitely get her fired in real life), and the idiot woman who won't let him bring the water into the theatre. Among many many more. And L.A. is full of these silly hostile types so Larry is not exaggerating.
1) That's the whole point, he was so fixed on his Tivo situation he didn't realize his wife might be dying even though she was telling him over and over. 2) I always thought that was an "imagined" or "heightened reality" scenario. I mean, is there any instance in S6, 7 or 8 where Larry discusses being in heaven? I think that whole bit was just fantasist humor.
I can't believe no one has mentioned this, because for me, it showed Larry for the truly horrible and selfish person his character actually is - his campaign to free himself from his r'ship with Loretta after she was diagnosed with cancer. It was all about him avoiding the sacrifices and effort he would have to make, ie, put someone else first. We were supposed to side with him?
That was a strange one really, I mean yes you're right it showed his selfish side but then again I think he wanted to get rid of Loretta even before she was diagnosed with cancer.
Another example of Larry's narcissism and callousness was after accidentally causing Norm's death on the golf course. The way he said, 'Are we playing golf tomorrow?' was appalling.
I think Larry could've taken his shoes off in "Porno Gill". Also what was the deal with him having to use the inside bathroom on the "Crazy nanny" episode.
Larry was right that you use the handicapped stall when the other stalls are full. From that point on, he took the other position out of spite, giving grief to people who used handicapped stalls, etc. He was trying to make a point, but regardless of the motivation he was wrong from that point on.
That being said, I suspect the entire show is stuff that happened to LD in real life, weitten to make the other side seem as unreasonable as possible. And it's a genius formula fir comedy somehow. I wonder if we saw some of the real life events, would we think he was right? But I'm a lifelong New Yorker, so I'll have to trust those who say certain SoCal people can really act like this. I can't picture it!
The funeral episode stands out for me (although I've only seen the first four seasons thus far). The moment where he's talking to the boyfriend of Larry's wife's niece and the young guy tells him that he's thinking of breaking up with her. Giving him advice on what to do wasn't exactly the right thing to do and he should have just told the guy he didn't want to hear about it or get involved. In fairness the boyfriend was foolish to even be talking to Larry about it in the first place but never the less.
yeah i was wondering who did that too, they didn't make it clear it was larry, and it seems highly unlikely he'd do that. but in response to the op question, larry is never wrong!
