Trivia / Guru Larry and Wez

  • Author's Saving Throw: The Peter Molyneux running joke was often divisive due to how overused and personal it was. Episodes in 2018 to 2019 saw the joke being used more and more sparingly, and Larry admitted that the joke ran its course in the comments for "4 Games Changed Because Publishers Think Americans are Stupid" (and audibly holds back making a joke about him when he brings up who came up with the idea for Laura Croft's name to be shortened to Lara Croft).
  • Colbert Bump: A strange version. Many people didn't know he was even on Channel Awesome until after the mass leaving of contributors in the 2018 "#ChangeTheChannel" scandal (Larry himself even jokes that upper management likely didn't even know he existed). He is one of the last producers left on the site, with various memes proclaiming how the site was going to be renamed 'Channel Larry'. This also led to a straight example as people who had never heard of him before decided to take a look at his content.
  • He Also Did: Larry did the art for Oni. Yes, really.
  • Screwed by the Network: Channel Awesome infamously gave him extremely little promotion or focus and never invited him to anniversaries, to the point that very few even realized he was on the site until #ChangeTheChannel happened.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • Could have helped proofread a certain Chris Bores' scripts, had Bores not declined, if his Twitter is to be believed.
    • In the comments for the third episode of YouTube Avenue, a side-series of The G Mod Idiot Box, Larry says that he approached Phil Burnell for a crossover, but scrapped it after Phil gave a list of requirements and started complaining about his hatedom.
    • He was somewhat disappointed that he was never invited to the various Channel Awesome anniversary events in spite of having been on the site for a majority of its existence.
