Larry is a real one tho for sacrificing all of his time just so the town won’t spiral into an apocalypse

One half of this video: Larry’s jobs and Salary Other half: Theoretical and physical quantum mechanics

[@Godzillay.]

You get it!

[@jalen1613]

None of that was needed either 😭😭 we just want to know how much he makes!

[@Hyrxchyz]

Exactly, i feel like there was no need for that. Could've easily made the video shorter.

[@kittencrafts7031]

It was kinda fun to listen to

[@Poteradactyul]

although this could have easily been a short, ill have to admit i liked the quantum physics part more that the actual point of the video.

[@CharlesAnderson-qv2wi]

in the episode, "the finale" larry says that whenever the wattersons break something, it comes out of his paycheck, i think this doesn't just apply to the wattersons but all customers, this includes EVERYTHING ANYONE breaks, and lets not forget that every single thing in elmore is alive and sometimes break themselves or each other.

[@Luna5829]

which would explain his lack of money

[@dino-qn8tn]

2:15 maybe he got a raise

[@ordinaryfellow9093]

in lore perspective.. what could this mean? does this mean Larry is the modeler, the artist, the animator, the director, the write of gumball show? this would explain why everytime something break, anything break he would be responsible with it!

[@tonyhakston536]

@@ordinaryfellow9093it means he’s a wage slave.

[@djamtz]

Perhaps the void might have something to do with it or the van guy since alot of their basis is about things that make up the reality of Elmore@@ordinaryfellow9093

[@Briskeeeen]

In that "The menu" check, Larry worked 40 normal hours and 8 Overtime hours. Assuming that the overtime was standard time and a half wages, Larry actually makes around $9.50 an hour. This is also assuming this check isn't gross income, but already has the tax taken off.

[@craz2580]

He works 36 hours a day 10 days a week, clearly

[@juicygalaxy773]

Taxed*

[@tbm1995]

Thank you, I was going to say something about this but glad to see someone else had the same question/concern

[@simonwillover4175]

(2:06) I'm getting a different number. 40 hours + 8 overtime hours = 52 pay hours. 480 dollars / 52 pay hours = 9.23 dollars / pay hour.

[@envisioner007]

@@simonwillover4175 very nice on the math on that. i was thinking the same thing on how much it would really break down into.

[@Jamerific]

I am surprised you didn't go with a simpler theory on how he is able to do all those jobs at once. Larry is not 1 individual, but rather a cluster with a hive mind.

[@yourmomshouse313]

Its actually seen in another episode, that its revealed that, yes. Larry is indeed one person that works nearly everywhere, which is probably why noone actually just concludes to that simpler theory

[@nodrance]

simple: This dude wanted to flex that they took intro to quantum mechanics in college. Half of his explanation isn't even relevant to his final theory, _and_ shows that he has no idea how quantum mechanics works

[@PiercyPlayz]

@@nodrance dude, why so negative? do you know quantum mechanics? even if he was flexing, it's a really cool flex, and educational as well. why downplay it?

possible canon explanations for the multiple larrys walking by: - he's cloning himself instead - shared psychosis - they're just his relatives/others of the same kind as him, that just happen to look really similar

[@mastermewtwo5503]

@@Thelucky_ducky As far as I know, the games do all have a 'Nurse Joy', and they're all identical only because the developers didn't bother making every single NPC unique (goes for every 'trainer class'). The anime just made a canon explanation for their take on it.

[@ridgeporter4664]

i love the fact that he tries to see how much money larry makes(2 minutes later) and so thats how quantum mechanics, time travel and physics work.

[@masonstewart6232]

I came here to hear how rich Larry is. But I didn't expect to stay and hear that Larry is potentially one of the strongest characters in fiction

[@djamtz]

To be fair, The Wattersons are as well with how much damage, abilities, and manipulation of reality they do constantly

[@abrahanleon6457]

And if you include the entire town going into a Apocalypse in minutes, it's obvious that everybody in Elmore is extremely overpowered in the chaotic way.

[@nabie7886]

And he does it to work

[@Warork41]

I’m gonna be honest I never knew Larry was a rock. I thought he was a food bag😂

[@durk5331]

Not only does he superposition himself, but he's also figured out how to keep the wave function from collapsing, technically he could be Omnipresent if he wanted to be o.o

[@stefperb9531]

Yeah pretty sure he is a food bag

[@mariazapata1606]

I thought he was a box

[@admiraloverdone]

I also thought box

[@DaveTheLesser]

I thought he was weird type of hammer

[@kodeytheneko]

You missed that his paycheck he worked 8 of those hours at overtime (usually time and a half) so he does still make more than $7 an hour, but not quite $10 an hour

Thank you so much 😀

[@zebaguettefromfrance1287]

well to actually know if he's actually rich we'd need to tally the property damage that the wattersons have racked up over the years.

[@dennisbeaman958]

And every other damages from everyone else

[@lozm4835]

Actually, he makes less money annually than Jeff Bezos does in a single day.

[@datbreadman7125]

Here's a theory for how Larry does it: banana Barbra. I forget which specific episode, but she literally controls time and matter, meaning she can make infinite Larry's, meaning their would have to be about 36 Larry's hanging around, which explains the entirety of Larry's working so many jobs. That, or some random cartoon bs, idk

[@frostyguy1]

That could be possible. But why should she. i forgot, she is stupid

[@eliabrams9149]

Your telling me this man taught me quantum mechanics better than my teacher in a video about larry?

[@LoL_424]

4:20 in Season 4, Episode 9 Larry is shown to work in an Art Gallery too, (spoiler ahead) from where Gumball and Darwin wanted to buy the Mic Graves as a gift for Masami, and they asked Larry how much is it worth! 5:25 so what he said its correct! he has 37 jobs (38 with the Joyful burger one)

[@ZaWARIO42]

I did not expect to learn Quantum Physics OR Theoretical Time Physics within a video trying to calculate Larry, but at the same time it seems normal.

[@lucidity8060]

I know you made a lot of jokes about how people would find the explanation of quantum mechanics boring, but as someone who is fascinated by this type of science when used in fiction I had a blast seeing you talk about it. Keep up the great work!

[@MajorMilk]

I would like to award you the highest honor I can bestow; The video I watch while eating lunch.

[@Kiwiemonn]

The sheer editing on this video is amazing.

[@efeozkan5089]

15:55 in this scene none of the characters are actually looking at the Larrys so they don’t vanish. But you might be right about him finding a way to solve the vanishing problem by learning the ways of stealth.

[@MonkeyBoyPlays1]

This is one of the most underrated youtubers ever. This guy only has 10 k subs. He deserves 1 million at least. He did all that research for one video, on top of all the editing this guy had to do is insane. ❤ TV Guy, thank you.

[@FeeeshiesTTV]

But..Quantum Physics 😐🔫

[@sowisgonexd]

for me, larry is not only one guy, it's actually a family or sum shit like that cuz i remember there's one episode that he reffers himself in third person or he can clone himself idk

[@TekuTaurus]

Larry is using shadow clones. They're all copies of himself with the same appearance and memories, but he can cancel and create more whenever he pleases. Job done for the day? Delete the clone. Someone orders delivery? Make a new clone.

[@user-jy9fe5ql3w]

the fact that you have such a low subscriber count making videos with higher quality than people with millions is astonishing, you’re gonna go so big

why am i learning more in a video about larry from the amazing world of gumball than i ever did in school

[@swandive46]

Just found your channel via Recommended Videos. Awesome work, and very top-notch editing! I look forward to further videos from you. Just one note: $ comes before the amount of money, not after -- at least in the U.S., so it'd be $750, not 750$, for example. I've never considering Larry's paycheck, but now I'm wondering how much money SpongeBob has (without Gary's riches).

[@evelynbeil900]

I always thought this dude was an odd shipped box. It took me till this video to realize he’s a rock.

[@lightglitch3782]

I have a pretty simple explanation for how he time travels. The awesome store. The awesome store has has alot of strange and cursed objects like the Wattersons fridge, the fake gameboy, and even Darwin himself came from it! So it's likely he bought some kind of watch or some other object that allows him to time travel or clone himself. hence he's able to work all these jobs.

[@TheoKao]

If he could clone himself, then he would have seperate pay for each of his clones...

[@henreymichelson]

[@techny3000]

Amazing quality fr. I thought you'd have like a million subscribers.

[@raziasultana5222]

Theres a hive mind of larry, because theres many of him on screen at the same time, in the rob scene, because observing a quantum particle multiple times gives different results because to observe particles that small the wavelength of light needs to be small enough to interact with it, and smaller wavelength id also associated with higher energy levels, and the high energy levels knock around the particles causing them to appear in different places each time you try to observe them. I think the hive mind hypothesis holds water :)
