History YMMV / LeisureSuitLarry

* TearJerker: For some, flushing the toilet while Drew from LSL 7 is showering. This is especially jarring because Drew was probably the nicest of the girls Larry interacts with and was genuinely interested in him and seeing her leave Larry like that [[YouBastard makes you feel rather cruel for doing so]]. Too bad you [[CrueltyIsTheOnlyOption have to do this]] so you can [[ItMakesSenseInContext get mold for your kumquat quiche recipe]]. It really makes you wish the programmers put in an option to apologize to her later on for bonus points.

* HarsherInHindsight / HilariousInHindsight

* FauxSymbolism: [[spoiler: To win the first game, you [[HowDoYouLikeThemApples give Eve an apple]] to seduce her. Subtle.]]

** At least LSL 9 has a reason for the hate...

** Also from LSL 8 the part of one of the Barbara Jo conversation where Larry uses puppets to try and calm Barbara down, especially if you get some of the wrong options.

** BrotherChuck: Passionate Patti disappeared between LSL 5 and LSL 6.

* {{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.
