* ''LeisureSuitLarryWetDreamsDryTwice'' (2020)

* ''Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice'' (announced for 2020)%%Does not have a page yet, but has a release date and trailer

* SuddenlySexuality: Ione from LSL 8 actually reappears later in the game -- and she's turned into an out-of-the-closet lesbian from the trauma of your first courtship of her.
** The Police officer from LSL 8 as well.
** Apparently, Kalalau's time with Larry is so horrible that she goes lesbian between LSL 2 and 3 and cheats on him with the female electrician.

* {{Adorkable}}: Ione from MCL, especially before [[spoiler:Larry turns her into a lesbian]] but even then she is still at least a little bit of this.

* ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarryWetDreamsDontDry'' (2018)

A new entry, ''Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry'', was confirmed for late 2018 and set to bring Larry's brand of... [[WereStillRelevantDammit well, everything...]] [[SettingUpdate to the 21st century]].

** Averted in the games ''[=LSL2=]'' and ''[=LSL3=]'' proper where he has a character design relatively similar to any other SCI games of the era, and where full portraits show him as somewhat realistic. Played straight for covers though.
** Averted for the upcoming ''Wet Dreams Don't Dry'', which is using the more realistic ''1-3'' era proportions for Larry.

** Averted with the upcoming ''Wet Dreams Don't Dry'', which the dev team has said takes place in the modern era.

* ButtMonkey: Larry. Being Larry's lady counterpart, Patti also has her moments of this.

--> '''Narrator''': You mount a big piece of wood (an experience not wholly unfamiliar to you).

* TookALevelInJerkass: LSL 2, 3 and 7 all begin with the woman Larry got together with at the end of the previous game deciding she doesn't like him any more and treating him quite badly. Justified with Eve, since Larry showed up at her house and moved in without her permission, which would probably freak out anybody in real life. But Kalalau first cheated on him [[HoYay with another woman]], then locked him out of their house and divorced him, all just because she wasn't satisfied with his performance in the bedroom. She never told him that she was unhappy before she did these things, and never tried to work things out. At the beginning of LSL 7, Shamara decides that the new age lifestyle isn't for her after all and what she really cares about is money. So she [[ChainedToABed ties Larry up]] and steals his wallet before walking out on him.

* OverlyGenerousTimeLimit: it is eight hours and a midgame event will cancel it. Again, restoring an earlier save also restores the clock. The game doesn't even tell the player that there's a time limit, so you'd basically need to open the source code to find out. Specifically, the game starts at 10 PM, and if the main character is still a virgin at 6 AM, he'll kill himself.

* TropicalIslandAdventure: LSL 2 and 3 are set on Nontoonyt Island, a tropical island ruled by the evil Dr. Nonookee.

* TropicalIslandAdventure: LSL 2 and 3 are set on Nontoonyt Island, a tropical island ruled by the evil Dr. Nonookee, while LSL 6 takes place in La Costa Lotta, a different tropical health spa and resort.

* ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarryMagnaCumLaude'' (2004) First appearance of Larry Lovage. Developed by High Voltage Software.[[note]]Developers of ''Videogame/TheConduit'', the ''Videogame/HunterTheReckoning'' videogame and a truckload of {{Licensed Game}}s.[[/note]]

* {{Adorkable}}: Ione from MCL, especially before [[spoiler: Larry turns her into a lesbian]] but even then she is still at least a little bit of this.

* ElectiveBrokenLanguage: Wang, who was born in Ireland, but speaks with a stereotypical Chinese accent and YouNoTakeCandle because he gets awkward looks otherwise.

* MeaningfulName: ''Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust''. It was unanimously named as the ''worst'' game of 2009 and pretty much killed the series.

* BlatantLies / SpontaneousCrowdFormation: The store clerk in all versions of LSL 1 claims to be discreet about customers buying condoms, which he keeps stocked behind the counter. He asks a questionnaire about what kind Larry wants... then shouts out the "answers" while calling Larry weird, causing a crowd to ''appear out of nowhere from behind the display shelving'' and yell out "What a pervert!".
** With one exception: No matter what size you request, the clerk will always say it's [[TeenyWeenie small]].

** In LSL 3, after being dumped by Kalalau, Larry casually mentions that her new lover Bobbi's from a tribe of lesbian cannibal amazons. Near the end of the game, both he and Patti are taken prisoner by a tribe of lesbian cannibal amazons who still cling to their costumes.

* {{Fandisservice}}: The hooker in LSL Reloaded.

* TheFreelanceShameSquad: When buying a condom, the shopkeeper will ask a long series of questions about what type you want, and will then loudly announce your choice. Several previously-unseen customers will pop out of nowhere and call you a pervert. This happens no matter what you choose.

* TakeThat: From ''Reloaded'':[[note]]if you use the "Zipper" icon on the sign that says "LIQUOR" in the "Come 'n Go"[[/note]]
-->Don't try to pee on that sign, Larry. That's the kind of raunchy, humorless prank your idiot nephew would pull.
* TimeyWimeyBall: ''Reloaded'' has Larry split between two versions of himself: the younger ''Reloaded'' Larry, who is 38 and still a virgin, and the original ''Sierra'' Larry, who is 64 and decides to make yet another attempt at finding true love. This isn't the first time this has happened: the 1991 remake of the first game is "cited" as the reason that [[UnCancelled Leisure Suit Larry 4]] was lost, and both the old [=EGA=] games and the (then) new [=VGA=] games universes eventually "merged into the same universe" in 2004 with the release of ''Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude''.

* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: If you have sex with the prostitute in LSL 1 without putting a condom on first, ''you will die of VD in the next minute''.
** And if you forget to zip up and remove your condom when you step outside, you're arrested instantly for indecency.
*** So Larry apparently forgot to put his underpants back on...

* ADateWithRosiePalms:
** If the player tries to make Larry masturbate in the first game:
--> '''Narrator''': "Larry, the whole idea was to stop doing that!"
** In the first game, Larry can "use" the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmmQ0mzCy-w&t=248 inflatable doll in the penthouse closet]], although [[InteractiveNarrator he doesn't like that much]], either.
--> '''Player''': use doll
--> '''Narrator''': Geez, Larry. Do we have to?
--> '''Player''': use doll
--> '''Narrator''': All right, you asked for it. In fact, you've asked for it twice! Here we go...
** ''Magna Cum Laude'' contains a masturbation minigame where success boosts Larry's confidence, allowing him to interact with certain female characters in the game.
