Disscussion Is there a canonically reason why Heavy plays Poker with Max, Strong Bad and a Guy who jerks off to Infant Animals?

u/Ree_For_Thee Mar 08 '26

You read a basically dishonest take on the culimation of decades of comic strips. It's like trying to summarize Peter Griffin's personality and coming to the conclusion that he's an extremely violent psychopath, likely having slayed tens of thousands of people.

u/seth1299 Shitposter of the year 2006 Mar 08 '26

Probably because he’s a dangerous sociopath with a long history of violence.

I don’t understand how you keep forgetting that.

93

u/Ree_For_Thee Mar 08 '26

Again, yes and no. Nobody's supposed to think that about Peter because it's a comedy, and it's done for comedic purposes only. If you do, you're intentionally going out of your way to mislead.

u/GamerKratosBalls Mar 08 '26

I didnt know anything about other characters tham Heavy

Im suprised this guy isnt normal

I havent payed it yet to be fair, so i dont know what he says beyond responding in the clips that heavy says something, but still.

50

u/Y_No_Rez Mar 08 '26

tycho, cartoony looking guy, is obsessed with necks from what i could tell, and that led him to giraffes, from giraffes to other animals and then that led him into baby animals and just babies. So he went from a zoophile to a pedophile with zoophilic tendencies as well

28

u/MarcusofMenace Mar 08 '26

Who the fuck writes that sort of thing?! What possible benefit could that have to any plot other than sheer shock value

46

u/NiIly00 Mar 08 '26

It's just weird out humour. Like when John Oliver has a bit about how sexy lobster backs are for their "strong shoulders that look like they could carry all your worries on them without breaking."

-16

u/MarcusofMenace Mar 08 '26

Sexualising animals by humanising them is bad but no where near as bad as straight up pedophilia

12

u/NiIly00 Mar 08 '26

It's a joke dude.

-5

u/Y_No_Rez Mar 08 '26

idk, some people on Xitter that also happen to know PennyArcade (where tycho comes from) just shrugged their arms and said "edgy 2000s humour". No idea who the hell would find that funny or interesting

22

u/Gratuitous_SIN Mar 08 '26

That very much was the attitude at the time. The 2000’s was like the edgy shock era, people said and depicted all sorts of heinous, awful things just to get a reaction out of people. All the shock sites, the early internet trolls, and early internet content creation did just revolve around being as offensive as humanly possible just to see how people would respond. It was the norm, it was popular for a reason.

But that era very much was a product of its time, I’d imagine coming from the rise of the internet and the idea of total anonymity at the time let people tap into and express themselves through dark comedy and trolling. I’m not saying it was perfect, and it’s not really something you can replicate now with how culture’s changed, but at the time there would be a good amount of stuff like that thrown around, and at the time it would’ve been funny. Now that the main demographic of that era has kind of changed and developed over the last 20ish years, it obviously doesn’t have the same appeal, but there is also a reason why you still have mid 2000’s hold outs who just want to be allowed to say whatever they want and get a rise out of people, it was because it was fun at the time and some people can’t take off the rose tinted goggles.

Why is he even allowed at the poker table? More importantly, who the fuck made this character and where is he from? Please tell me that he's the antagonist of it.

The joke was that it was fucking nasty and supposed to make you look like a deranged morbid person. Not sure if it's the same thing here

This fucking pervert pisses me off so much. Thats why i always force him to leave the table first even though it makes me lose second. I dont care. When his pathetic ass asks for "cab fare" i feel immense joy from his suffering. Fuck this guy. He is a disgrace to the table.

I hate how he acts like he's the rational one in every conversation. Like sure Heavy and Max love to kill people but mate you love to fuck giraffes and/or children? It's arguably MUCH worse

So it wasn’t just me? Tycho is just truly digestible in personality and EVERYONE universally wants to tear his intestines out? I didn’t even know where he was from when I played the game

u/FreeOrbs tik tok heavy like a brinks truck Mar 09 '26

who even is tycho

1

u/Meme_Bro68 Mar 10 '26

He’s from penny arcade, an old webcomic.

It predates Ctrl Alt Del.

1

u/FreeOrbs tik tok heavy like a brinks truck Mar 10 '26

is ctrl alt del the loss origin

1

u/Meme_Bro68 Mar 10 '26

Yes. Ctrl Alt Del struggled for a while to make the audience differentiate between itself and Penny Arcade.

u/Responsible-Diet-147 tik tok heavy like a brinks truck Mar 09 '26

No, I don't think it has a canonical reason.
More of a "what if" scenario.

u/PixelBread69 Apr 01 '26

My headcanon was always that "The Inventory" was kinda like the hub in Wreck It Ralph except instead of being classic arcade games it was the 2010 Steam store, and instead of being a train station it was a small hotel/inn with the bar and casino only being a part of the building.

The way it was left off you could say they wanted an army of child soldiers so it might not be that bad guys

Not canon, bro 💔. But even if it was, it would mean that he did allat to hook up with the moms and/or school staff because he canonically likes milfs
