The Heavy Lourde is a giant weight that gets dropped on various characters. Past squishings include:
- Homsar in the Strong Bad email "homsar."
- 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 TONS" on it, though).
- The bilingual labeling on the weight is a reference to the multi-lingual labeling of items required in Canada and becoming more prevalent in the United States since the advent of NAFTA.
- It was for sale at Strong Bad's garage sale for $2, referencing email #2, where it first appeared.
- A similar weight (labeled "1 TON") appears in the activity on the last page of the FAQ manual.
- In Teen Girl Squad Issue 4, What's Her Face is squashed by a similar weight reading "NO Pounds."
