The Heavy Lourde

The Heavy Lourde falls on Homsar in his secret main page.

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 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.
