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 TONS" on it, though).
- The bi-lingual 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.b
