Larry Feegan was Shelley Marsh's boyfriend in the Season Fifteen episode, "Broadway Bro Down".
Background[]
Stan Marsh and his sister Shelley Marsh stay the weekend at the Feegan's home while Randy Marsh and Sharon Marsh go to see Broadway musicals in New York City.
During dinner, Shelley argues with Larry's father over the irrational way he is treating Larry, forcing him to be a vegan from birth and to wear a life vest at all times. She suggests Larry can make his own decisions which would deter other children bullying him at school. Larry sees this as an act of bravery and begins trying to win the acceptance of Shelley.
As their friendship grows, Larry takes off his life vest, then he and Shelley go on a date to see the Broadway musical "Wicked" in Denver. Shelley's father, Randy Marsh, to save his daughter from acting on the "subliminal subtext" behind the play, interrupts the performance dressed as Spider-Man. He causes panic by accidentally breaking the water pipes thus flooding the theater. Ironically, Larry drowns due to him not wearing the life vest.
Appearance[]
Larry is overweight, so much that his stomach bulges out of his shirt. He has short blonde hair and rosy cheeks. He wears a striped yellow and turquoise shirt, a pair of blue jeans, and white shoes. He used to constantly wear a life vest around his neck, but he takes it off for Shelley. When he and Shelley go on their date, he wears a tuxedo and a purple bow tie. Whilst swimming, he wears purple swimming trunks.
Personality[]
Larry is very timid and lacks self-confidence. This is evident when he is afraid to jump off the diving board, and when Shelley speaks up to his parents about letting him decide if he wants to be a vegan. With that support, he plucks up the courage to disobey his parents by eating a Slim Jim and later at Burger King. Despite being very afraid, he also approaches Shelley and forms a budding relationship with her. He is shy and socially awkward, evidenced by the fact that he gets bullied in school and tells Shelley that it is the first time anyone ever stood up for him.
Family[]
Parents[]
Larry's parents are overprotective and force him to wear a life vest, even on dry land. Their habit of wearing life vests all the time indicates that they are likely Survivalists. His father is a bully who is overly preachy in his beliefs in veganism and has forced Larry to be a vegan since he was born. It is evident that Larry is afraid of his parents and does not dare to question them. However, his mother appears to be nicer and more open-minded than her husband, as she decides to take a chance allowing Larry to leave his life vest off later on.
Interactions[]
Shelley Marsh[]
Shelley reluctantly accepts Larry as a friend, until he sings her a song about how she inspired him to overcome the fears of his parents and make his own food choices. After removing his life vest, Shelley invites Larry to play The Settlers of Catan on Xbox 360.
Shelley is actually crying when after the show was ruined and she finds out that Larry has died.
Trivia[]
- His last name is a rhyming joke for vegan as his family is practicing a vegan lifestyle. He is derogatorily called "Feegan the Vegan" by Cartman.
- Larry is overweight, despite that his father is shown to be muscular and his mother is shown to be slim.
