== Anime
* [[Butt Monkey|Kyon]] of ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' is almost always carrying everyone else's stuff, [[Subverted Trope|though occasionally Koizumi lends a hand]].

Line 40:
== Music ==
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Mo6UkNZcX0 music video] for "Gonna Take a Lot of River" by [[The Oak Ridge Boys]] (forward to 0:35).

**Sherpas are famous as [[Badass]] [[Human Pack Mule|Human Pack Mules.]]▼

* [[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?|Roger Rabbit]], in the theatrical cartoon ''[[Roger Rabbit Shorts|Trail Mix-Up]]''.
