Pauling hanging out with the mercs is so cute. Gun show with Heavy, mimicking Pyro’s “unique” speech pattern, learning to play piano with Spy, getting Engie’s help for a contest, and surgery with Medic.

Miss pauling interactions with the whole cast is honestly entertaining. engie stomac teleporter teleports her digestive food into her colon, spy speed teaching her how to play the piano by tazing her under an hour.
I like how Pauling is concerned about Soldier talking to wood, but is perfectly fine with Medic sewing a heart into another heart and pumping it full of radiation.
Yeah, because the intention wasn't that she was actually concerned, the intention was to throw a shameful joke (by whoever wrote the lines, I assume Pinkerton) towards Soldier's sanity, despite being perfectly just himself.
Ashley Burch is the voice actress. She's been in a lot of projects and almost always brings an energy to her characters that make them seem like fun people to be around.
at 0:44 when she says "yeah Scout's been saying he's gonna' take me to one for years, but all he does is shove his stupid arms in my face", I can just imagine scout going: "Hey miss Pauling, you wanna go to the gun show?" *5 seconds of silence from Pauling* "Pow! Pow!" *as he flexes his arms as close to her face as possible*

@@NikolasoGames Soldier was never in any war. It is a blatant lie to say he was ever in a war. The dude's just unhinged, simple as. The closest thing to a war he participated in was when he went to fight Germany... AFTER WW2 had already ended. He went and killed Germans after the war was over.
This really fits her character, she's as goofy and messed up as most mercs but she keeps her cool and i love how she describes the situations. The animation just makes her look so alive, i cant even begin to tell everything i like abt this

I love the bit where it sounds like miss Pauling was legitimately interested in going to a gun show with scout and was disappointed by him making it a pickup line. You were so close, scout! So close to greatness!
She only takes 'time off' when it's something she can put in context of her work, like the gun show she's probably counting those as job hours. Then again the government had to force her to take that one day off a year.
So Pauling has murdered dozens or possibly hundreds of times, puts herself through electroshock therapy and mutilates hearts, but apparently her limit is seeing Soldier talk to some cardboard cutouts. Amazing
@@DeletedTroll lmao right? Puts things into perspective when you consider there is people who seem drawn to real serial killers/career criminals yet these people would react the same to this type behaviour regarding inanimate objects. I think the opposite sex equivalent would be the woman with stalls full of creepy dolls.
@@DeletedTroll I was making equivalence based on the reaction of witnessing the opposite gender interacting with inanimate objects. So far I have seen little to not reaction about women having husbandos but their bad fame seems more to be rooted on their zealotry regarding their own fanfics and headcanon rather than about the fact they like something that is not real. But I get what you mean.
1:46 "I think he's crazy" Pauling, you've been working with him for two years in canon and 15 years in real life. You KNEW he was crazy since the first hour you met him
Maybe she could have looked past it if she thought that Soldier had schizophrenia or something, but when she realized that he knew that they were just cut outs, that's when it got scary.
I absolutely LOVE how you draw Ms. Pauling. She looks like she's in desperate need of rest (even though she insists she's fine) and the only thing keeping her in a functioning state is a buttload of coffee and occasionally weed.
I can honestly see Engi making the teleporter going from her stomach to her colon as a way to make Pauling regret trying to cheat in a Hot Dog Eating Competition.
I love how well done this is, sadly there isn't that many Pauling animations so i'm really glad you decided to do these, and it's perfect ! Cheers from Brazil :>
I mean with this video she's definitely seems worth it but nice to see you animate miss mauling honestly I didn't know most of these voice lines existed.
Half of these lines are from the “Tough Break” Update, the second contract-centric update where Miss Pauling is forced to take a state mandated vacation, while there still needs to be people killed and all.
0:29 I find this to be the funniest clip in the hole video with how she realizes the cave is were she hides body’s then her reaction to hearing the other’s screams when they found the body’s was priceless
Cute how she just kind of hangs out with them and says things that imply she enjoys spending time with them. It makes her feel like a weird mix of a big/little sister. Big insofar as her role is kind of like "these are my boys" but little insofar as each member takes her someplace else or shows/teaches her something new, like a big bro would do to spoil a younger sibling
Only exceptions are soldier and scout. I like that she thinks soldier is more crazy than pyro(but she is right here, pyro is just kid with flamethrower)
you dont need good looks when you can match a man's pure stupidity. We fall in love right there and then if you agree with our dumb ideas, and will want to marry you if you _suggest_ those ideas.
For a character who is only heard in game over a radio, she already has more than enough character for you to be intrigued and interested in her before watching Experation Date or reading the comics.
it feels like mis Pauling taps into the same niche as Regan from inside job. the hyper active, unprofessional, yet very professional woman. and god damnit if they didn't hit my type on the head i may as well be asexual. this shit is it
1:46 all the Merc’s are crazy Edit Soldier is just a bit more crazier then the rest of them except Pyro because he doesn’t even know that they are fighting
@@Pumpk1nh3ad If i were to rate each classess' sanity it would look like Mostly sane: Sniper, Spy, Engineer Less sane: Heavy(smart but not too sane), Scout(actual pedophile),Demoman(mostly because he's drunk), Insane: Medic, Soldier Pyro: Pyro
I mean soldier is canonically lead poisoned because in the comic where scout and spy go to prison, at the end miss Pauling told them that the town is *lead poisoned* and gives them bottled water.
In a world of maniatic old twins, psychopathic mercenaries and bumped australian bussiness mens, miss pauling is just a wholesome (and really tired) assistant, i love It.
Spy's line is clipped from Expiration Date (Say that... AGAIN.) Medic's is also just from his various lines, usually related to Halloween, wherein he giddily remarks on the power of dark magic.
I've watched this about 8 times over the last week. The character design and the animation are so freaking good. It just feels like this is what Pauling is supposed to look like. Excellent work!
01:36 [campfire crackling] "Pauling here. I'm at a campfire with Soldier, Salty Pete, Pepper Pot Pete, and Perry Pepper Pants, and Peter Poopy-Toots. [sotto voce] _And they're all cardboard. I think he's crazy._ [normal voice] Oh, what's that Soldier? Tree bark? Rations? ...Sounds American! [sotto voce] _Do this contract, and then get this man some help!_ "
I love the detail that her dark circles get bigger as the video progresses, I want to highlight this particular frame because of how complete she feels, her face and that hair falling down transmits the feeling that she´s a person full of stress who it's been a long time without sleep 2:00
I absolutely love how you draw her. It matches the energy of Ashley Burch's performance in a way I find the official art of her doesn't quite reach. To the point that this version is who I always image whenever I picture the character.
I LOVE the way you draw Miss Pauling and how perfectly you matched the liveliness of her voice to the expressions she makes. What a beautiful animation. :)

I love the bit where it sounds like miss Pauling was legitimately interested in going to a gun show with scout and was disappointed by him making it a pickup line. You were so close, scout! So close to greatness!
I like Idea that scout and Pauling have a thing for each other but scout being scout messes it up and Pauling is too busy to notice.
@@Delta_4k With Ms. Pauling literally only having one day off a year, that was basically canon until Expiration Date
No, she didn’t even _realize_ it was a pick-up line.
@@DeathnoteBB exactly!
She is worth it.
She's just so damn adorable when she seems like she's just chilling. Not something she probably gets to do often. It's great to see.
The idea that this got any attention is insane to me. Thanks for all the support for my comments people!
She only takes 'time off' when it's something she can put in context of her work, like the gun show she's probably counting those as job hours. Then again the government had to force her to take that one day off a year.
@Spine_apples333 holy crap the REAL SPINE APPLES⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
I agree, she is. ;3
@@stefschouwenaars9562 yeah. At least it's payed vacation. Kinda.
God, I love her nerdy yet mercenary-like attitude. I want more of her.
She's like an accountant, but all she counts is the number of bodies buried in a cave.
Same.
So Pauling has murdered dozens or possibly hundreds of times, puts herself through electroshock therapy and mutilates hearts, but apparently her limit is seeing Soldier talk to some cardboard cutouts. Amazing
Just like women irl when the see a guy talking with his waifu if you think about it.
@@SmolTerribleTornado I'd honestly react the same, I wonder what would be more insane.
@@DeletedTroll lmao right? Puts things into perspective when you consider there is people who seem drawn to real serial killers/career criminals yet these people would react the same to this type behaviour regarding inanimate objects. I think the opposite sex equivalent would be the woman with stalls full of creepy dolls.
@@SmolTerribleTornado There is a female equivalent, it's called "husbandos", and it's just as weird. At least the "creepy dolls" are real.
@@DeletedTroll I was making equivalence based on the reaction of witnessing the opposite gender interacting with inanimate objects.
So far I have seen little to not reaction about women having husbandos but their bad fame seems more to be rooted on their zealotry regarding their own fanfics and headcanon rather than about the fact they like something that is not real. But I get what you mean.
Somehow, this gives me Inside Job vibes. Reminds me of Raegan. A more, happy, carefree, not depressed/miserable Raegan.😅
1:46 "I think he's crazy"
Pauling, you've been working with him for two years in canon and 15 years in real life. You KNEW he was crazy since the first hour you met him
The man has been drinking lead laced water for years. There ain't no savings that madness
Maybe she could have looked past it if she thought that Soldier had schizophrenia or something, but when she realized that he knew that they were just cut outs, that's when it got scary.
I absolutely LOVE how you draw Ms. Pauling. She looks like she's in desperate need of rest (even though she insists she's fine) and the only thing keeping her in a functioning state is a buttload of coffee and occasionally weed.
why weed?
@@archangel6348 why do you think bruh
@@archangel6348 Why weed indeed.
there is no lore basis for the weed
@@chudthug Lore was not taken into consideration when I made my initial comment, as it was unnecessary.
I can honestly see Engi making the teleporter going from her stomach to her colon as a way to make Pauling regret trying to cheat in a Hot Dog Eating Competition.
Dell(Engie): that's what you get!
Id like to see her shit out those undigested hotdogs
1:06 If those hot dogs really are undigested, then we cannot blame Ms. Pauling's perdicament on, "SPAH sappin' mah teleporter!"
1:07 The song in the background, THE PTSD KICKING IN...
I just noticed XD
I love how well done this is, sadly there isn't that many Pauling animations so i'm really glad you decided to do these, and it's perfect ! Cheers from Brazil :>
Thank you very much!
Dear God, you live in that horrible King of the Hill map?
Me too brother, me too
@@rofs3274 Yeah sorry to hear lad/lass
I mean with this video she's definitely seems worth it but nice to see you animate miss mauling honestly I didn't know most of these voice lines existed.
Miss mailing > miss pauling
Half of these lines are from the “Tough Break” Update, the second contract-centric update where Miss Pauling is forced to take a state mandated vacation, while there still needs to be people killed and all.
@@Steve-si8ki miss mauling > miss mailing
Absolutely love your Ms. Pauling design.
You made her look so expressive and 0:20 is such a cute smile.
Yes. This animation is the sole reason i still play TF2
Siiiigh
_unzip_
Miss Pauling has gone through more in two minutes than I have in my entire life.
I don't think she survived in the last one unless Medic did some science to revive her.
He just sloshed the blood back in
if you've read the comics when you're near medic death is negotiable
I mean he literally traded 1/6 of his souls to satan just to get the crew back alive. Death is a inconvenience to medic
He will just revive her mvm style
@@budgetbrick5124 so does his like...arm go to hell???
0:29 I find this to be the funniest clip in the hole video with how she realizes the cave is were she hides body’s then her reaction to hearing the other’s screams when they found the body’s was priceless
Listen closely and it actually sounds like scout
*Whole
*Bodies*
@@simonho413 Yeah, it's definitely Scout.
"There's so many bodies"
Cute how she just kind of hangs out with them and says things that imply she enjoys spending time with them. It makes her feel like a weird mix of a big/little sister. Big insofar as her role is kind of like "these are my boys" but little insofar as each member takes her someplace else or shows/teaches her something new, like a big bro would do to spoil a younger sibling
exactly, its so sweet. the found family trope is ridiculously amusing when it comes to pauling & the mercs
Mommy.
Only exceptions are soldier and scout. I like that she thinks soldier is more crazy than pyro(but she is right here, pyro is just kid with flamethrower)
In other lines, she talks to Pyro like she's his kindergarten teacher.
%0 simp
%0 big titty
%50 "you got contract"
%50 fun
you dont need good looks when you can match a man's pure stupidity. We fall in love right there and then if you agree with our dumb ideas, and will want to marry you if you _suggest_ those ideas.
For a character who is only heard in game over a radio, she already has more than enough character for you to be intrigued and interested in her before watching Experation Date or reading the comics.
it feels like mis Pauling taps into the same niche as Regan from inside job. the hyper active, unprofessional, yet very professional woman.
and god damnit if they didn't hit my type on the head i may as well be asexual. this shit is it
Exactly what i was thinking. Maybe thats why i like them both so much
Ditto, my friend. 🤦🏻♂️ That's all I'm saying.
Def taps into the same niche as Reagan, yeah
We love women in this household
Another inside job fan I’ve never thought I’d see the day.
I love how even Miss Pauling can’t escape the rapidly descending chaos of TF2
These voice recordings are SO CHARMING and the animation just adds onto it 10× more
Fun fact: She's voiced by Ashly Burch (Well known for voicing Chloe Price from LiS, Tiny Tina from Borderlands and Aloy from Horizon)
I'd also like to add Mireska the Dark Willow, a hero from dota 2, and she voices a faerie with an Irish accent
No fucking way she voices Tiny Tina
I FUCKING KNEW IT YEAHHH CHLOE I WAS JUST THINKING THAT
Also voiced ray from fortnite: save the world.
Cool... 4 characters I can't stand for the life of me
Good thing she also voiced Pauling huh
I really appreciate the way you drew miss pauling, it really shows her personality cause of the well drawn expressions and body movement.
1:11 miss pauling: *fucking dying*
her sleeves: (ᐛ )
:◇
I would love a eating contest I’m such fatty heh
This is unironically my favorite Ashly Burch performance by a mile. Every line is delivered perfectly.
I love how every voice line in the game is so crazy that if someone told you it was real, then you would believe them because it probably is.
I love Pauling being excited by an actual gunshow and Heavy taking her there.
I mean she is excited about every chance to take rest from her usual job.
This one
This is gun
*clears throat* I need her. Thank you for your time.
Your version of Miss Pauling looks so adorable and fits Ashly's voice so well
Great job on the animations, the facial expressions are perfect
0:23 Pyro wandering why Ms Pauling said that she molests fish for a living: 0-0
That's probably her job
0:04 why she trying to get a better look 🤨

It's Demo. You can hear his drunken rambling in the background.
Saxton Hale? Tbh she ... actually what am I saying he’d beat her to a fine paste
1:46 all the Merc’s are crazy
Edit Soldier is just a bit more crazier then the rest of them except Pyro because he doesn’t even know that they are fighting
@@Pumpk1nh3ad If i were to rate each classess' sanity it would look like
Mostly sane: Sniper, Spy, Engineer
Less sane: Heavy(smart but not too sane), Scout(actual pedophile),Demoman(mostly because he's drunk),
Insane: Medic, Soldier
Pyro: Pyro
@@goldngamer1365 scouts not a pedo community created cosmetic descriptions are not canon
@@goldngamer1365What on earth you mean actual Pedophile for scout my man
I mean soldier is canonically lead poisoned because in the comic where scout and spy go to prison, at the end miss Pauling told them that the town is *lead poisoned* and gives them bottled water.
@@colereese3315yes

If anyone makes a "sitting" taunt for Soldier, it had BETTER involve eating canned beans with a cardboard cutout.
Poor Pyros probably wondering what he did wrong for Miss Pauling to call him an SoB
all he did was help an octopus brush his teeth with rainbows😢😢
@@marisimp and feed the unicorn cotton candy

The voice work in combination with these amazing expressions gives me MASSIVE Reagan Rand from Inside Job vibes
Guess workaholics dealing with absurdist and weird situations give you a certain cadence

THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY TOO
Thumbnail looks so much like her
Reagan Ridley? Awesome
I wish Miss Pauling was more present in the actual game i love her so much
1:15 that sounds horrifying..
😭🙏💀💀😭💀😭👀👀🗣️🗣️🗣️
In a world of maniatic old twins, psychopathic mercenaries and bumped australian bussiness mens, miss pauling is just a wholesome (and really tired) assistant, i love It.
I love that she didn't recognize the cave that she buries bodies in until she was in the middle of the tour.
It's sad that almost every class had their voice actor in it except Soldier.

RIP to Mr May

Spy's line is clipped from Expiration Date (Say that... AGAIN.) Medic's is also just from his various lines, usually related to Halloween, wherein he giddily remarks on the power of dark magic.
@@furiousfinch1587 What about Heavy?
I love how Pauling’s boxing hairstyle is based off another one of her VAs characters
0:41 is gun... What more to say?
I love how perfect you draw her but she definitely has more bags under her eyes from dealing with everybody's shenanigans
I've watched this about 8 times over the last week. The character design and the animation are so freaking good. It just feels like this is what Pauling is supposed to look like. Excellent work!
01:36 [campfire crackling] "Pauling here. I'm at a campfire with Soldier, Salty Pete, Pepper Pot Pete, and Perry Pepper Pants, and Peter Poopy-Toots. [sotto voce] _And they're all cardboard.

Lmfaooo maybe 🤣

I love the detail that her dark circles get bigger as the video progresses, I want to highlight this particular frame because of how complete she feels, her face and that hair falling down transmits the feeling that she´s a person full of stress who it's been a long time without sleep 2:00
i think the hair falling out is a joke on chemotherapy and radiation making you lose hair

@@plagueman5220 they cnanot melt them
I absolutely love how you draw her. It matches the energy of Ashley Burch's performance in a way I find the official art of her doesn't quite reach. To the point that this version is who I always image whenever I picture the character.
This animation perfectly summarizes what Pauling's 355 working routine+trying to have fun would feel like in terms of facial expressions
I LOVE the way you draw Miss Pauling and how perfectly you matched the liveliness of her voice to the expressions she makes. What a beautiful animation. :)
1:00 that's smart
No
Yeah
Maybe?
Sometimes
AT THE PART WHERE MISS PAULING IS IN A HOTDOG EATING CONTEST, YOU CAN HEAR TICK TOCK IN THE BACKGROUND
I love these! She's the best character introduced post launch!
I swear to God the voice acting is really amazing. I wish she had a full series like this with that art style. Great job!
Pauling sounds like such a fun person to hang out with. I wish I had a friend like her.
"are...are you peeing in a jar right now?"

PLEASE, release a parte 2, Miss Pauling is so charming and your animations make her lines even better
