In a world where Valve seems unlikely to release any further TF2 lore, this is kind of on brand and pretty acceptable "lore" for Snipers character at this point. I still have hope this comment is retroactively wrong and we receive new TF2 content in the future despite how bleak it seems now
New Sniper lore: -Never went to preschool -family owns a crappy toilet to the point of snipers mom even pissing in jars. -sniper broke the phone at the end of meet the sniper.
Honestly so true XD XD Sniper doesn't like toilets can confirm XD XD Also I wonder what his dad heard on the other end of the line just " NO "CLANK CLANK" TOILETS NO "CLANK" TOI-

A shame that guy ditched Make your Time series for... whatever that trend is (I know it's name, I just don't want to say it) Also it's baffling that after this time this new series is somehow still going
It's hard to say what the best part about all of this is: The sheer dedication to the part, the fact that Mr Lowrie is now the proud owner of what might be the best Sniper costume I have ever seen, or the content of the video itself. Perhaps all three.

Sniper may have a bit of a struggle with his father but he always finds it in his heart to love them. As a wise man once said, "Professionals have standards"
As a 16 year old teen from Brazil that is in love with TF2, I gotta thank you and all the other incredible VA's for caring so much about our favourite game! ❤
@@GamingWizard69420 It's an indication that, despite this game being from before their time, they still managed to find their way over to TF2, and they appreciate that some of the voice actors are still interacting with the community after all this time.
@@conscripthornet4430 because its also a country that isn't widely known for its TF2 community compared to the EU or the US, and to also show the reach that the game has had in the whole world.
The Sniper not having had went to pre-school adds a certain layer of tragedy for his character, for one we know this isn't canon but if it was. That would mean that his job of being a mercenary for The Administrator is the only job he'll likely ever have, as he's stuck to it. Unable to change careers even if he wanted to, but we all know that he would never want to switch careers. That bit at the end where despite the outburst he still says "I love you." to Pa, how sweet. And thank you John, Shork, Danny and Oliver for making this short video! (and the upcoming live-action Meet The Sniper.) ❤❤❤
I love how all of you get so in character with these things, even though it's for a goofy game made 17 years ago I swear all of the TF2 VA's are national treasures at this point, you guys are awesome and never cease to make me smile and laugh
I am amazed how your portrayal of the actual character's.. well... character being pretty in line to what is shown in game and comic's! Keep up the good work!!
Dear John P. Lowrie, I don't know if you read this but in case you do, I just wanna tell you this: Thank YOU and the rest of VAs for your service to TF2 community. I think I can speak for for whole tf2 community that we truly love YOU guys, because you've done so much just by giving to our favorite characters voice (and not mentioning what you do lately). I do believe that tf2 has touched so many hearts and even had influence on us (tf2 players) as people at some way. Thank you and wish you the best!
It's so nice to see the voice actors still having fun with their roles and dressing up as their characters (checks notes) SEVENTEEN YEARS LATER!!! HOLY CRAP!
So nice to see you still giving us these voicelines for us to clip out of context for comedic effect! Thank you my good sir, from a wage worker to the sniper himself! :D
So, to answer everyone's questions: Shork, who's from Denmark, Oliver, who's from England, and Danny, who's from Florida, all came out to Seattle last week to help us out with our Meet the Mercs event at Emerald City Comicon, which takes place in Seattle every winter, to do some other promotional stuff for charity and to film Meet the Real Sniper. We did some other stuff, too, but on this day we had driven out to the coulee region of Washington State, east of the Columbia River gorge in the high desert. We had wrapped filming the phone call to dad footage and needed to take the phone booth set off the telephone pole that they had nailed it to and Shork thought it would be fun if they filmed me destroying it while I talked to my dad. So I just improvised a conversation with my dad that would motivate me to destroy the phone. Danny, who was on sound, kept it together until I told my dad I loved him at the end at which point Danny lost it. Gary, Dennis, Ellen and Robin weren't with us on this particular day of shooting. 😀😀😀
Imagine going to do voice work one day, thinking "Just another paycheck." Then the day you realize that the character you brought to life is so beloved and makes a massive impact on an entire culture.
I have played the sniper since the TFC days. Nothing makes other players seethe more than the sniper, he's the best class. I've heard your voice more than any other video game character. You are my favorite, love yea, Mr. Lowrie.
this is vital to tf2 lore
True!!

Sniper's mom canonically pisses in jars.
Timeline-wise, this would have to be before the Team were disbanded and Sniper's parents are still alive.
New Sniper lore:
-Never went to preschool
-family owns a crappy toilet to the point of snipers mom even pissing in jars.
-sniper broke the phone at the end of meet the sniper.
love how he aggressively destroys the telephone over toilets but the "I love you" immediately after killed me 😭
❤❤❤
Sniper is still a good son ❤
@@nothomebutnotreally3782 w💖
Want Tissue?
So saying "I love you" is his new way of killing targets?
"MUM PISSES IN JARS!"
No wonder he wrote to his mother in the update page for Pipeline's release, they were that close.
This is canon now
He gets his aim from her
this is the reason why he wanted his mom on the phone in meet the sniper
I absolutely adore how active the VAs are in having fun with the community. This is magical
IKR
Like the inside of Pyro's Brain!!
yes
If only we had Soldier :(
I really enjoy how despite the argument, he still tells his Pa "I love you" 🥰

Sniper is a great specimen of a professional with standards, screw them toilets!
*No TOILETS!*
He wants quality toilets. He doesn't want them bought in the dump.
NO POMEGRANATES!!!
I love you.
POV: All the other gens trying to fight back against Gen Alpha brain rot
skibidi dop dop dop yes yes...
Look guys, even the Sniper from TF2 hates "Skibidi Toilet" - Respect for this man.
Casual Australian phone call
you know they're a professional actor when they don't even crack a smile after their own joke
we love the TF2 crew

Sniper "NO TOILETS, NO TOILETS NO TOILETS" proceeds to break the phone
Afterwards
"I love you dad"
😂😂
I too watched the video
I also was able to watch a 29 second video without needing extra clarification from the comments on what happened
@@Transformers_nerd_stop_motions Same man, I feel a sense of pride and accomplishment
The most accurate representation of dad & son moment

good, you didn't speak their name, at this point it's becoming like a literal curse to even say it
Can't even enjoy the idiot box anymore. T_T

PROFESSIONALS, HAVE STANDARDS
Be polite
John and everyone is fantastic
It's hard to say what the best part about all of this is: The sheer dedication to the part, the fact that Mr Lowrie is now the proud owner of what might be the best Sniper costume I have ever seen, or the content of the video itself. Perhaps all three.
i love the idea that sniper is just a rebellious kid
No toilets got me cracking up
It's heartwarming to see Sniper finally reconcile with his father.
A close friend of mine passed away today. I saw this just now and it really helped give me a well needed laugh. Thanks for keeping us all smiling, John
jSo sorry for your loss. Glad I could help even a little bit.
Sorry for your loss man hope you doing good 😞
Sorry for your Lost, Hope you you coped and are recovering recovering well
R.I.P
the sheer passion the original va's have for their craft is still so awesome, love seeing it each n every time they get together
i agree. but i wish nathan, scouts VA was still doing stuff 😭 but i just hope he’s happy most of all 👍
I love how his dad HAS to accept the fact he pisses in jars
He has to accept a lot of things..
Same with fact that he is a crazy gunman
I mean, his dad bought the toilet from the dump who would piss on that
@@HacjulHe's not a crazed gunman, he's an assassin.
Sniper still arguing with his dad after all these years is the best!
OH YES! Meet the Sniper is one of my favorite Meet the Team video, super excited to see this video published.
Sniper may have a bit of a struggle with his father but he always finds it in his heart to love them. As a wise man once said, "Professionals have standards"
These guys are the literal best! They love the game and they love the fans, and they are keeping this game alive! Thanks so much, John.
That costume is awesome.
As a 16 year old teen from Brazil that is in love with TF2, I gotta thank you and all the other incredible VA's for caring so much about our favourite game! ❤

@@conscripthornet4430 because its also a country that isn't widely known for its TF2 community compared to the EU or the US, and to also show the reach that the game has had in the whole world.
Classic sniper
He knows his morals and loves people who disagree or agree, Sniper is truly a hero

I like how he refuses to change jars with toilets. Classic sniper!
If Sniper is this old, imagine how FOSSILED his dad is
I know this is just a meme but that is genuinely the best sniper cosplay I’ve ever seen
YES MEET THE REAL SNIPER!!!! WE LOVE YOU LOWRIE!
That explains why Sniper pisses in jars. New TF2 lore just dropped!
God bless the voice actors, they care about the game and the community more than Valve.
I love seeing that the voice acters still love the game as much as the community does
I love how sniper is that angry that he just brokes the phone and later say "I love you"
This is the kind of video I send to everyone I know with zero context - Thank you for this masterpiece 😂
Thank you for the amount of contributions that you've put into the game, John :) embedded forever as the part of the internet culture.
Even after 17 years tf2 and the people that were involved with it are legendary!
Loved the new Sniper toilet lore, but him pulling it out the hammer freaking killed me lmao Ty!
“Cause you bought that bloody toilet at the dump that’s why!”
Professionals have standards.
YEEEEESSSS! Well done! I'm so happy to see you doing this bit! #TheMercsAreBack ❤🫙
YES! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHH!! Hahhaha. You are ALL AWESOME people. Thank you for being you and doing this for us fans.
I love how all of you get so in character with these things, even though it's for a goofy game made 17 years ago

"I know i never went to preschool!" best line from John
In an alternate universe this is a clip from the TF2 adult swim cartoon that we never got.
I think out of all the mercs, John enjoyed his role the most
The VA's of TF2 make this possibly my favorite game community ever. This masterpiece is a perfect example of that
no toilets! no toilets! no toilets! no toilets! no toilets! no toilets!
Most calm phone call between college students and their parents
The "i love you" made me laugh so hard
I'm glad that Sniper hates the Skibidi Toilets too
god i love that you keep doin this. you are great
Guess this what happens when we ask Valve to make us a 3rd game.
I wonder if this is why The Sniper's dad thinks he's a Crazed Gunman?
NO TOILETS!!
Its so amazing to still hear you with the same energy as you did for the first time for SNIPER! Love your work John! Keep making all the fans smile!
You forgot to have him say "No the difference is that one is a job and the other is a mental sickness!"
Thd "I love you" was completely improvised.
The tf2 VAs continuing to be treasures that extend beyond the community.
"I aint changing careers i have to go back to pre-school" ill forever use that quote holyshit 😂🤣😂🤣
I wish the developers loved the game as much as the voice actors do.
One VA added so much to TF2 lore with one 30 secodns video
I can confirm that this is How an interaction with your average Australian family goes
he turned into the engineer for a second
The Australian version of "NO POMEGRANATES!!!"
Can't get over how the voice actors still are into this game, the fandom is goddam eternal at this point. Never die, TF2.
this is amazing you are a great guy John thanks for everything
I love how canon this behavior is. Like, did he write Sniper, too?
Listen, Gen Alpha Kids! *No Skibidi Toilets! No Skibidi Toilets! NO SKIBIDI TOILETS!*

This man is a legend, he is funny AND he also hearted all of the comments
“Mum pisses in jars!!” Took me. No bullet required XD
I love you guys and the love you have for the characters you portray they aren't just mates in game but also irl
BABE WAKE UP NEW SNIPER LORE JUST DROPPED!!
Glad to have found this gem. 😊
No matter how many toilets there are, you always gotta love ur dad lol.
The "I love you." after is so sweet XDD
Now this explains the Jarate. Sniper grew up without potty training
Pissing Jars is a sniper aussie family thing confirmed.
Super excited to see "Meet the REAL Sniper" and i already see that it will be great.
Professionals have standards. Sniper really has a way to convey his love to his dad, awww so wholesome xD
i cannot imagine anything better
It's so nice to see the voice actors still having fun with their roles and dressing up as their characters (checks notes) SEVENTEEN YEARS LATER!!! HOLY CRAP!
I admire a man who stands by his values, no matter how weird they may be

I can scarcely imagine what Christmas Dinner is like at Sniper's parents' house lol
the airplanes are integral to the plot
When the elderly can have fun like this, it's just, something special.
This is amazing seeing another heart to heart Sniper and dad conversation, live!
The tf2 actors are one of the funniest people alive
I like how the VA's have so much fun as their characters even outside of work
sniper expressing his thoughts on gen alpha memes
Going in my "youtube masterpieces" folder, thats for sure.
I have played the sniper since the TFC days. Nothing makes other players seethe more than the sniper, he's the best class. I've heard your voice more than any other video game character. You are my favorite, love yea, Mr. Lowrie.
It makes me so happy that the voice actors are just as unhinged as the characters they voice, This is what TF2 is all about.
