Moments with Heavy

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

There's Slice of Life stories, and then there's this.

Moments with Heavy is a series of Garry's Mod videos made by the hyper kitty0706 that star the BLU Heavy. The episodes center around activities that wouldn't seem out of the ordinary to us, such as going bowling or taking a driver's exam. In Moments With Heavy? Said activities involve people surviving deadly explosions (sometimes more than once), waiting for 83 centuries for an Xbox 360 to be delivered, spitting up bowling balls and getting a strike, and to make this bizarre universe even more bizarre, Winnie the Pooh is a Smoker in disguise.

There are currently[when?] seven episodes as of June 2011. Check them out here, but be warned; there is enough insanity in this series, so it is not advised that viewers get high while watching.

Tropes used in Moments with Heavy include:
  • Art Evolution: The animation got an improvement, and the pacing of the humor starts delving into Rapid-Fire Comedy.
  • Big Head Mode: Often happens when Heavy shouts "No!"
  • Book Dumb: Heavy technically should have failed his driver's test, considering he answered that you should "crash into the thingy and die" when approaching an oncoming train. Yet because he answered the extra credit question correctly, he passed.
  • Cheaters Never Prosper: If you had to extract a moral from Heavy Takes His Driving Test, this would be it. A few of the classes try to use their unique weapons and abilities (i.e. the RED Engineer programming the car to do all of the test for him, the RED Demoman placing sticky bombs in specific locations to move the test along, etc.) The entire RED team fails their tests for these reasons.
  • Flying Car: Somehow, a derpy-eyed RED Scout causes his car to soar through the air
  • MacGuffin Melee: Several characters (though none as much as the Heavy) will use any means of violence to get the Crit Sandvich in The Quest for the Ultimate Sanvich
  • Made of Indestructium: Heavy's package in "Heavy Orders an Xbox 360"
  • Made of Iron: Taken Up to Eleven in every feasible way
  • Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Hoo boy, too many to list
  • Stuff Blowing Up: "Heavy Takes His Driving Test". Several things go up in mushroom clouds when they're so much as tapped.
  • Sophisticated As Hell: "A mixture of ingredients do not own the proper attributes to be mentally impaired, dumbass"
  • The Wonderland: Although the universe in this series is already this, it is certainly more coherent than the dream world Heavy enters in Heavy's Retarded Holiday
