The Heavy Lourde is a giant weight that gets dropped on various characters. Past squishings include:
- Homsar on his very own "Legitimate Menu Page" when the "Games" button is selected.
- Stunt double Strong Sad in Dangeresque II.
Fun Facts
- "Lourde" means "heavy" in French.
- This gag is perhaps spoofing Monty Python's Flying Circus, which had a similar running gag (the weight said "16 TON" on it, though).
- Heavy Lourde is probably a product of Canada, where products must be labelled in both English and French; the label on the weight is just "HEAVY"; and "LOURDE" is the obligatory French translation.
- Either that, or it's a play on "heavy load".
