Fun fact: because of that scene at the end of Meet the Medic where the bird was stuck in Scout's chest, the bird will actually sometimes be seen flying out when he's blown up in the game.
In the official TF2 lore the demoman wears an eyepatch not because he lost in in an explosion but because when he was a child he looked into an evil book that cursed his eye socket and made his eye a huge monster that tried to kill everyone.
In the comics Medic grew his eye back a lot of times but each Halloween the eye medic grew back becomes a monster a moster vampire eye and a few more things and medic took out demomans memory of that.
The Heavy? Bloodlust incarnate. The Engineer? Refuses to take cover even with enemy bullets hitting steel just inches from his head. The Soldier? Talks to a bunch of severed heads. Also launches rockets at his own feet from time to time. The Demoman? Smokes and drinks whiskey while surrounded by high explosives. The Scout? Doesn't think twice about grappling with a man-mountain who's two or three times his size. The Medic? Victor Frankenstein on LSD and steroids. The Pyro? Oh, damn...where do I begin? I'm not so sure about the Sniper, though; he piddles into a bunch of jars, sure, but so would anyone who has to stay in the same spot for hours on end. Plus, he can use the jars of piss for a more practical purpose. And the Spy doesn't seem crazy, unless some kind of personal disassociative order is responsible for his talents as a human chameleon (and he can easily become anyone else because he has no identity or personality of his own). Toughie. :-/
@@BloodyBay Interesting thing, is that in TF2 universe, rocket jumping used to be way to get to second floor. Because great man invented high buildings, but didn't invent stairs...
BloodyBay In the comics it is explined a bit better. For example, the engie has a god-complex. He thinks he is better then god himself and is untouchable. The sniper on the other hand is mad for apprecition. He wants to be the very best (#1 sniper cup) and won‘t stop befor achieving that. He stopped viewing his targets as people even
It should be noted that these videos came out over the course of years and they improved the tecnology dramatically. The first ones were Heavy and Demoman, and those just have the characters talking and some gameplay footage, a bit tricked out in Demoman's case. Medic and Pyro are the last. Much more elaborate.
Heavy is so smart that he can literally tell how much money he is spending on a gun that is so HEAVY in a single second just from his mind in miliseconds *That's math*
Remember when Pyro was Broken..... When you were engulfed in flames the flame particles and damage didn't register and when you were 5 feet away from him you'd combust into flames....
I like how even the more "normal" ones in the team are either, at the very LEAST, mildly sociopathic, or they're incredibly bloodthirsty to the point of recklessness. It's kind of Team Fortress's way of telling us "Well, who do you think signs up to be mercenaries? Sane people with stable lives and jobs?" -Sniper literally gets paid to shoot and kill people, and has zero qualms about what he does, going so far as to defend his morally ambiguous profession against his highly disapproving father (sociopath) -Spy is an OCD, hyper prepared nutjob that has no trouble backstabbing, playing dirty, or pretending to be other people in order to kill those closest to them...and is also entered into a romantic relationship with his enemy's mother (sociopath) -Engineer is a mechanical genius capable of building transporters and super-advanced turrets, but uses his skills to test his inventions out on living human targets, because, from what I can tell, killing humans is simply far more interesting to him than advancing the state of humanity (sociopath) -Heavy Weapons Guy, who dedicates thousands of hours and dollars into maintaining a weapon that he has a deep emotional attachment to, punches people to death and snaps people's spines for a single sandwich, and goes into a blood-filled rage every time he fires his weapon in battle (sociopath) -Scout willingly rushes into gunfire and explosions just to get close enough to hit people with a bat when he has a perfectly good gun, and not only that, but he picks a fight with the largest man he can find just to prove a point and eat his sandwich (reckless sociopath and narcissist) And then there are the crazy ones like Demolitions (alcoholic, bipolar), Soldier (PTSD, delusional disorder), and Medic (mad genius sociopath), and then there are the absolutely batshit insane ones like Pyro (schizophrenic pyromaniac, and also possibly autistic?). Honestly, the level of diversification in this cast of characters is so unbelievably excellent.
Pyro's goggles cause him to see the world the way he does in the animations, it's not him. Also, there are plenty of "normal" people that are mercenaries, mostly cause it pays really and I mean REALLY well.
@@trash_dmleo956 I imagine every single one of them harbors some degree of sociopathy, in one way or another. Even just being a mercenary is indicative of sociopathy, because you're essentially saying "I don't care about taking another person's life as long as I get paid". You can be a genius and a sociopath at the same time. They're not mutually exclusive. As for Engi, I never read the comics or anything, but I guess I could sort of see how he might have a God Complex. It's definitely possible. If anything, I'd say Engi may be obsessive compulsive, and maybe, possibly, paranoid? But these are all just speculation unless I see more of what he's like.
Fun fact: Meet the Sandvich was completely improvised. Originaly it was gonna be a parody of Predator's script but they lost it so the actors improvised. Also, Meet the Heavy was what was used in the casting for Heavy's voice actor (Gary Schwartz), and Meet the Medic was originally going to be an interview happening in a train and in a brewelry before it's modern incarnation.
The team´s names: -Heavy: Misha (short for Mikhail-last name unknown) -Demoman:Tavish Finnegan DeGroot -Engineer:Dell Conagher -Scout:Jeremy (last name unknown) -Soldier: Jane Doe -Pyro: Unknown -Spy: Unknown (maybe shares last name with scout) -Medic: Dr. Ludwig -Sniper: Mr. Mundy (Birth name: Mun-dee)
the thibng you need to understand about the tf2 team is that they are all insane on some level other like heavy medic and pyro just show it off a little more than the other mercenaries do
most of them are pretty mentally ill or otherwise fucked to some extent, yeah. Pyro's delusional and is a pyromaniac, Demoman's an alcoholic. Soldier's also delusional and PROBABLY technically a war criminal, Medic's definitely a psychopath. Scout's likely mentally impaired, i could go on.
@@faggoteditor9297 To be a War Criminal you would have to have been in the Armed Forces. Soldier applied and was turned down. So he hopped on a plane and started killing 'Nazis' till at least the 1950's or so. Scout is mainly a narcissist and a bit of a man child.
I still don't know why Valve bothered to make such diverse character with unique traits and personality and not make any series outside their comics which has been left hanging for 2 years now
I was just recently reminded of this game and I've been meaning to watch the meet to videos a while now. Best thing is I get to re-watch them with DeanBerry :D ps. Medic is my favourite of them all
Medic plants baboon uterus in people, stole the Merc's souls and used one to get out of hell scratch free and sold the other for a pen, and considers healing a side effect of satisfying his morbid curiosities, and more.
Pyro was my DUDE (though it may actually be a girl XD)! Always played as him and waited for so long for his short to come out and I Was NOT disappointed! Loved rewatching these after all this time! Great reaction as ever!! :)
TF2 is one of my favourite games of all time. Absolutely loved it during Uni, played a ton with my friends. Will have to go back to it one day! My favourite character to play was always the Pyro, but the best "Meet The..." was probably the Medic's! Such good memories of that game :') glad to see you checking it out.
You talk about the characters in TF2 having a strong The Incredibles feel. I think that might be because the game's art style was strongly inspired by classic American art such as Norman Rockwell. I think that may have been an inspiration for The Incredibles as well.
I'm watching this video right now while checking the comment section. Everytime I watch the "Meet the Team" videos, it always brings a smile to my face. Seeing other people reacting to these amazing videos just makes me so happy. I'll never get tired from TF2, the characters are so loveable.
I dunno how i missed this. I'm glad you're reacting to it. It's a fantastic game. My favorite to play is pyro but the medic has my favorite personality. As for videos I suggest End of the Line if you haven't seen it already. It's one of my all time favorite TF2 shorts.
I remember back when each of these came out... The guys at ValvE did a superb job with this, honestly. Brings me back the fondest memories I got of a game.
some TF2 trivia: -The game is set in 1968. -RED and BLU are ruled by two rival brothers, Redmond and Blutarch Mann, sons of Zepheniah Mann, a British entrepreneur who moved to the US during the gold rush of 1850, but lost all his fortune digging for gold, and when he passed away he screwed up his idiot sons by passing the company to his friend Barnabus Hale, forcing both brothers to fund up their own companies and fight one another for control of the gold-less badlands of the US mid-west, using weapons provided by Mann Co. , now under watch of Saxton Hale, grandson of old man Barnabus. -Blutarch and Redmond are more than 100 years old, and remain alive due to Australium-powered life-extending machines built by Radighan Connagher. -Australium is a radioactive material found exclusively in Australia, which is ruled by a kangaroo-loving civilization of strongmen, who fight one another at every turn, for sports. -By 1850, New Zealand had the development level of an advanced civilization equal to Superman's Krypton, but was swept under the sea by a giant tidal wave, leaving Australia to be the second most developed civilization ever, thanks to it's Australium. -Both RED and BLU are overseen by the Administrator, a woman by the name of Helen, who is also 100 years old, also supported by a life-extending machine, and is a descendant of the handmaid of the wife of old man Zepheniah. -Zepheniah's wife birthed three boys, in 1822: Redmond, Blutarch and Gray. Gray was taken by an eagle and disappeared from history. He was also a wonder child and could speak before being born. He spent the last month inside the womb developing a mathematical system. -Scout's name has been officially disclosed as "Jeremy", he's officially been established to be Spy's son after a long running joke revolving around that "your mother!" file, and he's scheduled to die in December, 1987. -Soldier is also known as Mr Jane Doe, he's a dishonorably discharged Marine recruit who got himself kicked of every branch of the military, but managed to fly himself to France and start killing Germans on his own and awarding himself makeshift medals he made on the field. He stopped with said behavior after finding out the war had ended by 1947. -Pyro's identity is unknown. He's been diagnosed with chronic schizophrenia. -Demoman's real name is Tavish DeGroot, he was born in Ullapool, Scotland. He fought and killed the Loch Ness Monster at the age of 10. He lives with his mother, who is completely blind, and his medieval sword, which is enchanted with the spirit of a knight, which absorbs the life force of anyone he slays. -Heavy's name is Mikhail, he's from Khabarosk, Russia. He has three younger sisters, and lives with them in a farm in northern Siberia. He sleeps right next to his minigun. He also has a PhD in Russian literature, which he reads often in between engagements. He's also a regular player of poker. -Engineer's name is Dell Conagher. He's the grandson of Radighan Connagher. He has 11 PhD's in various disciplines including robotics, computer science, chemistry and structural engineering. His father is said to have been the creator of the spawn room technology that allows mercenaries to come back to the field after being killed, enabling the battles between RED and BLU to remain at a constant stalemate. -Medic's last name has been disclosed as "Ludwig", and he made a contract with the devil that bound his soul to hell. He has surgically attached another nine souls to his self to counter that, and used them as bargaining chips to get his own soul out of hell, by hustling the devil himself. -Sniper's name is Mun-Dee, he's actually a Kiwi, born on the sunken New Zealand to Lar-Na and Bil-Bel, a couple of astronomers who meant to send him off the Earth in a rocket ship, but it failed to take off and crash-landed in Australia, where he was raised by a couple of elderly farmers. He's said to have the power to feel his enemies around, knowing where to look and where to shoot. -Spy's name is unknown. He's officially Scout father as of 1972, when he confessed having impregnated the woman after disguising himself as Tom Jones. -By 1971, Gray Mann resurfaces bringing with him an army of robots made in the likeness of the Mann mercenaries, to take over the company. He succeeds in capturing Mann Co Headquarters and removing Saxton Hale from command by sticking to the Mann Co regulations book, and submitting his daughter Olivia to wrestle Saxton for control of the company. Saxton obviously refuses to wrestle a little girl, and forfeits the company. -During 1971, Gray's armies plow through the badlands, and every Mann facility around the world, taking the Australium they can find. When the Mann mercenaries fight back, Gray enlists the help of the previous generation of mercenaries who then proceed to raid and wipe every Mann team worldwide, leaving only the Mann mercenaries we know as Team: Fortress. -By 1972, BLU and RED disband, the mercenaries are scattered across the world, and the Administrator's assistant Miss Pauling rounds them up again to fight Gray Mann and retake Mann Co. All of them answer the call, except Engineer, who is watching Helen's last days as she runs out of Australium and uses the last remaining bit to squeeze every ounce of life force out of the life machine. Helen then rejuvenates and vows revenge on Gray Mann....... .....and that's where we are.
all these years and that the first time i've known the backstory. did they ever explain why both teams have the same members? clones? brothers? also, this should be a single player first person shooter rpg or something.
some people argue the briefcase has the files related to cloning. according to the lore, _the spawn room_ is a self-contained cloning facility, and Spy is not the only Spy around.... Helen and Pauling also have infiltration skills.
I just noticed in the Meet the Spy video, BLU Scout is holding the butterfly knife by the safe handle when he drops the obviously SINGLE-EDGED blade after it "cuts him"
The only other TF2 animations that are officially produced by Valve are “Jungle Inferno” and “Mann Vs Machine”, both of which were released alongside big content updates to the game. I’d recommend watching Jungle Inferno especially because it introduces Saxton Hale, who is a major character from the Team Fortress Comics, which themselves are a great bastion of entertaining dialogue between not only the nine mercenaries from the “Meet the ____” videos, but also other unique and equally entertaining side characters. I’d highly recommend giving them a read, they’re all about an equal 10 minutes in length and share a creative, interesting storyline.
I showed the Meet the Team videos to two of my friends few days ago (they aren't even into gaming and they didn't know what TF2 was about) and ever since, they've been fangirling and they keep spamming me with TF2 stuff. We're having a great time talking about TF2 and its characters. :)
If you're wondering how the Blue Spy's head wound up still alive in the Medic's fridge, watch "Meet the Medic - Outtakes." It was Valve's first shot at introducing the Medic but wound up scrapping the idea & went with what we see here. But that earlier scenario is still Lore Canon & we see a bit of that here. The Demoman was not cursing when his speech was getting bleeped out...He was drunkenly revealing truth about the Loch Ness Monster that the government didn't want to be said to everyone.
I've only just realised the blu Spy's head is in Medic's fridge because Soldier shot his head off, and Medic made a replacement head. How've I never put that together before?
Meet the spy and meet the pyro are the best to me, because of the memes from them. Meet the medic is really funny too, but it doesn't have the meme potential of "I fear no man but that thing, it scares me".
TF2 characters all have insane energy, if you want to work in a field where you may literally not see the next sunrise, pick these guys as your battle buddies.
You should check out The Winglet's Team Fortress 2 animations. There aren't too many more official TF2 animations, but The Winglet has made many very professional TF2 fan animations using the source film maker. He's even gotten the official voice actors to voice for a few of them, like "Mind Games".
My personal favorite is meet the medic, partly because I read this really sad 4chan green text story about someone playing medic and a 'special' guy playing the heavy.
Haven't watched you for some time and came back to see you with 40k subs! Congrats! Followed you around 5k subs and this was wholesome to me coz you are reaching new heights. Keep up the good work!
One interesting thing is definitely how these videos grow more cinematic as the tf2 team gets better at using their tools and stuff. The first few being interviews while the later ones are more movie style
God I miss those videos. They were so fun. I remember when the Medic and The Pyro were new. On a side note, seeing the SFM at the end reminded me of the CSGO trailer and how amazing that SFM was.
You should maybe check out the "Team fortress service announcements". I'm not even a tf2 player but stuff like "pop it, don't drop it is just hilarious even without context"
God rewatching those trailers get me back to the days where i would wish for it to be on sale in physical copies, each characters are so grounded they feel realistic in their setting not like those current days heroes crap its kind of an achievement to make peolpes want to buy a game just by presenting the characters without actual gameplay even back in the days, my only regret is that i wasn't able to play it right when it came out i started playing right after the War update and i wish i was there right from the start because it was love at first sight and it always been like this, i even spend halloween and christmas on the game, this game is just a fucking legend
I agree but it's the third video from "The fedora chronicles". I think it would be better to watch them in order, starting with Operation 2fort, The bolted behemoth, and then Live and let spy.
A lot of TF2 videos are unofficial made by fans on source Filmmaker. Jungle Inferno and the Mann vs Machine cinematic are some other official ones you might like
Fun fact: because of that scene at the end of Meet the Medic where the bird was stuck in Scout's chest, the bird will actually sometimes be seen flying out when he's blown up in the game.

-Spy is an OCD, hyper prepared nutjob that has no trouble backstabbing, playing dirty, or pretending to be other people in order to kill those closest to them...and is also entered into a romantic relationship with his enemy's mother (sociopath)
-Engineer is a mechanical genius capable of building transporters and super-advanced turrets, but uses his skills to test his inventions out on living human targets, because, from what I can tell, killing humans is simply far more interesting to him than advancing the state of humanity (sociopath)
-Heavy Weapons Guy, who dedicates thousands of hours and dollars into maintaining a weapon that he has a deep emotional attachment to, punches people to death and snaps people's spines for a single sandwich, and goes into a blood-filled rage every time he fires his weapon in battle (sociopath)
-Scout willingly rushes into gunfire and explosions just to get close enough to hit people with a bat when he has a perfectly good gun, and not only that, but he picks a fight with the largest man he can find just to prove a point and eat his sandwich (reckless sociopath and narcissist)
And then there are the crazy ones like Demolitions (alcoholic, bipolar), Soldier (PTSD, delusional disorder), and Medic (mad genius sociopath), and then there are the absolutely batshit insane ones like Pyro (schizophrenic pyromaniac, and also possibly autistic?).

Fun Fact: Heavy has PhD from Russian Literature.
You talk about the characters in TF2 having a strong The Incredibles feel. I think that might be because the game's art style was strongly inspired by classic American art such as Norman Rockwell. I think that may have been an inspiration for The Incredibles as well.
You can't imagine how much i was smiling while watching the vid.
I'm watching this video right now while checking the comment section. Everytime I watch the "Meet the Team" videos, it always brings a smile to my face. Seeing other people reacting to these amazing videos just makes me so happy. I'll never get tired from TF2, the characters are so loveable.
Team Fortress 2 has SO MUCH PERSONALITY! The most amazing job Valve has EVER done.
Never seen this channel but he sounds 20 but looks 40 and I'm confused
Thank you?
@@DeanBarryStuff I think he means you're young at heart
@@GlitchBunn what that gentleman over there said
Funfact: under the right circumstances ribs can in fact grow back.
So cool seeing someone who’s never seen these awesome animations before experience them for the first time.
I dunno how i missed this. I'm glad you're reacting to it. It's a fantastic game.
My favorite to play is pyro but the medic has my favorite personality.
As for videos I suggest End of the Line if you haven't seen it already. It's one of my all time favorite TF2 shorts.
I remember back when each of these came out... The guys at ValvE did a superb job with this, honestly. Brings me back the fondest memories I got of a game.
Oh my god, the mad lad actually did it! I was honestly starting to think that he fooled me haha
Meet the medic gives me goosebumps every time as a medic main
some TF2 trivia:
-The game is set in 1968.
-RED and BLU are ruled by two rival brothers, Redmond and Blutarch Mann, sons of Zepheniah Mann, a British entrepreneur who moved to the US during the gold rush of 1850, but lost all his fortune digging for gold, and when he passed away he screwed up his idiot sons by passing the company to his friend Barnabus Hale, forcing both brothers to fund up their own companies and fight one another for control of the gold-less badlands of the US mid-west, using weapons provided by Mann Co. , now under watch of Saxton Hale, grandson of old man Barnabus.
-Blutarch and Redmond are more than 100 years old, and remain alive due to Australium-powered life-extending machines built by Radighan Connagher.
-Australium is a radioactive material found exclusively in Australia, which is ruled by a kangaroo-loving civilization of strongmen, who fight one another at every turn, for sports.
-By 1850, New Zealand had the development level of an advanced civilization equal to Superman's Krypton, but was swept under the sea by a giant tidal wave, leaving Australia to be the second most developed civilization ever, thanks to it's Australium.
-Both RED and BLU are overseen by the Administrator, a woman by the name of Helen, who is also 100 years old, also supported by a life-extending machine, and is a descendant of the handmaid of the wife of old man Zepheniah.
-Zepheniah's wife birthed three boys, in 1822: Redmond, Blutarch and Gray. Gray was taken by an eagle and disappeared from history. He was also a wonder child and could speak before being born. He spent the last month inside the womb developing a mathematical system.
-Scout's name has been officially disclosed as "Jeremy", he's officially been established to be Spy's son after a long running joke revolving around that "your mother!" file, and he's scheduled to die in December, 1987.
-Soldier is also known as Mr Jane Doe, he's a dishonorably discharged Marine recruit who got himself kicked of every branch of the military, but managed to fly himself to France and start killing Germans on his own and awarding himself makeshift medals he made on the field. He stopped with said behavior after finding out the war had ended by 1947.
-Pyro's identity is unknown. He's been diagnosed with chronic schizophrenia.
-Demoman's real name is Tavish DeGroot, he was born in Ullapool, Scotland. He fought and killed the Loch Ness Monster at the age of 10. He lives with his mother, who is completely blind, and his medieval sword, which is enchanted with the spirit of a knight, which absorbs the life force of anyone he slays.
-Heavy's name is Mikhail, he's from Khabarosk, Russia. He has three younger sisters, and lives with them in a farm in northern Siberia. He sleeps right next to his minigun. He also has a PhD in Russian literature, which he reads often in between engagements. He's also a regular player of poker.
-Engineer's name is Dell Conagher. He's the grandson of Radighan Connagher. He has 11 PhD's in various disciplines including robotics, computer science, chemistry and structural engineering. His father is said to have been the creator of the spawn room technology that allows mercenaries to come back to the field after being killed, enabling the battles between RED and BLU to remain at a constant stalemate.
-Medic's last name has been disclosed as "Ludwig", and he made a contract with the devil that bound his soul to hell. He has surgically attached another nine souls to his self to counter that, and used them as bargaining chips to get his own soul out of hell, by hustling the devil himself.
-Sniper's name is Mun-Dee, he's actually a Kiwi, born on the sunken New Zealand to Lar-Na and Bil-Bel, a couple of astronomers who meant to send him off the Earth in a rocket ship, but it failed to take off and crash-landed in Australia, where he was raised by a couple of elderly farmers. He's said to have the power to feel his enemies around, knowing where to look and where to shoot.
-Spy's name is unknown. He's officially Scout father as of 1972, when he confessed having impregnated the woman after disguising himself as Tom Jones.
-By 1971, Gray Mann resurfaces bringing with him an army of robots made in the likeness of the Mann mercenaries, to take over the company. He succeeds in capturing Mann Co Headquarters and removing Saxton Hale from command by sticking to the Mann Co regulations book, and submitting his daughter Olivia to wrestle Saxton for control of the company. Saxton obviously refuses to wrestle a little girl, and forfeits the company.
-During 1971, Gray's armies plow through the badlands, and every Mann facility around the world, taking the Australium they can find. When the Mann mercenaries fight back, Gray enlists the help of the previous generation of mercenaries who then proceed to raid and wipe every Mann team worldwide, leaving only the Mann mercenaries we know as Team: Fortress.
-By 1972, BLU and RED disband, the mercenaries are scattered across the world, and the Administrator's assistant Miss Pauling rounds them up again to fight Gray Mann and retake Mann Co. All of them answer the call, except Engineer, who is watching Helen's last days as she runs out of Australium and uses the last remaining bit to squeeze every ounce of life force out of the life machine. Helen then rejuvenates and vows revenge on Gray Mann.......
.....and that's where we are.
all these years and that the first time i've known the backstory. did they ever explain why both teams have the same members? clones? brothers? also, this should be a single player first person shooter rpg or something.
some people argue the briefcase has the files related to cloning.
according to the lore, _the spawn room_ is a self-contained cloning facility, and Spy is not the only Spy around.... Helen and Pauling also have infiltration skills.
I just noticed in the Meet the Spy video, BLU Scout is holding the butterfly knife by the safe handle when he drops the obviously SINGLE-EDGED blade after it "cuts him"
Now we gotta show you the TF2 Story Comic dubs by Ben Paddock
Spy is definitely my favorite. He has the mysterious, sophisticated vibe I like in characters.
The only other TF2 animations that are officially produced by Valve are “Jungle Inferno” and “Mann Vs Machine”, both of which were released alongside big content updates to the game. I’d recommend watching Jungle Inferno especially because it introduces Saxton Hale, who is a major character from the Team Fortress Comics, which themselves are a great bastion of entertaining dialogue between not only the nine mercenaries from the “Meet the ____” videos, but also other unique and equally entertaining side characters. I’d highly recommend giving them a read, they’re all about an equal 10 minutes in length and share a creative, interesting storyline.
This brings me wayyy back when i first watched these meet the team videos, revisiting them like this has been a great experience.
Fun fact about soldier. He slowly becomes more and more stupid in TF2 canon due to lead poisoning in teufort.
The idea of people having not seen these before is so strange to me.
I showed the Meet the Team videos to two of my friends few days ago (they aren't even into gaming and they didn't know what TF2 was about) and ever since, they've been fangirling and they keep spamming me with TF2 stuff. We're having a great time talking about TF2 and its characters. :)
Wow, forgot I wrote this 7 months ago. Time flies pretty fast! Me and my friends are still talking about TF2 everyday haha, we're having a lot of fun.
@@eatpant4ever well you wrote that 4 months ago!
@@pofromteletubbies1243 One year now. My friends and I are still huge TF2 fans.
Demoman is my favorite, love The accent and attitude
me too
It's a terrible Scottish accent.
@cooley
I am.
Man, those "Meet the..." shorts are still pure joy to watch, TF2 is truly something else
If you're wondering how the Blue Spy's head wound up still alive in the Medic's fridge, watch "Meet the Medic - Outtakes." It was Valve's first shot at introducing the Medic but wound up scrapping the idea & went with what we see here.
But that earlier scenario is still Lore Canon & we see a bit of that here.
The Demoman was not cursing when his speech was getting bleeped out...He was drunkenly revealing truth about the Loch Ness Monster that the government didn't want to be said to everyone.
He said "Which one is your favorite?" right before my favorite class and segment started.
A german burned alive in the bulding with fire wait...
20:07
Dear good
There’s more
I've only just realised the blu Spy's head is in Medic's fridge because Soldier shot his head off, and Medic made a replacement head. How've I never put that together before?
I couldnt choose between the medic and the spy for the madness and the class.
Meet the spy and meet the pyro are the best to me, because of the memes from them. Meet the medic is really funny too, but it doesn't have the meme potential of "I fear no man but that thing, it scares me".
Another fun fact: in Russian literature, bullet is the dumbest thing that ever existed.
Basically, heavy has yet to meet someone smart.
Savage
TF2 characters all have insane energy, if you want to work in a field where you may literally not see the next sunrise, pick these guys as your battle buddies.
There will never be another game with characters or production like tf2. It was truly the peak of what a game had potential to be.
And thus a Scout main is born
This game stills a timeless master piece
The reason soldier says that from that day forward animals together in one place is called a zoo because he thinks Sun Tzu’s name is spelt Sun Zoo
Pyro's mask is secretly a scp
I’m really glad I found this channel, this dude is pretty amusing
aaah the good old heavy+medic combo
Hoovy is the best key for every door
4:44 ; Actually what Sniper said was: "Put Mum on the phone".
(Americans call their mother "Mom" while the UK and the Australians say "Mum").
One thing I like about meet the spy is that when soldier is putting the code in, the 1 is worn meaning that the code is 1111.
"He's insane"
Heavy is like a regular person if you compare him to Pyro, Soldier and Medic
To answer your question after the Spy video:
The Medic is my favorite, I love how absolutely insane he is!
When a scout gibs, he has a chance to release a pigeon in refernce to this
15:00 WHEN HE ASKS
WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE ?
ME :
YOUR ABOUT TO MEET HIM
You should check out The Winglet's Team Fortress 2 animations. There aren't too many more official TF2 animations, but The Winglet has made many very professional TF2 fan animations using the source film maker. He's even gotten the official voice actors to voice for a few of them, like "Mind Games".
My personal favorite is meet the medic, partly because I read this really sad 4chan green text story about someone playing medic and a 'special' guy playing the heavy.
Oh, that one was sad...
Haven't watched you for some time and came back to see you with 40k subs!
Congrats!
Followed you around 5k subs and this was wholesome to me coz you are reaching new heights.
Keep up the good work!

One interesting thing is definitely how these videos grow more cinematic as the tf2 team gets better at using their tools and stuff. The first few being interviews while the later ones are more movie style
God I miss those videos. They were so fun. I remember when the Medic and The Pyro were new. On a side note, seeing the SFM at the end reminded me of the CSGO trailer and how amazing that SFM was.
my favourite is pyro just because the consept of how he doesnt realise what hes doing. i would so watch a film like that
So glad you finally did this!
You should maybe check out the "Team fortress service announcements". I'm not even a tf2 player but stuff like "pop it, don't drop it is just hilarious even without context"
God rewatching those trailers get me back to the days where i would wish for it to be on sale in physical copies, each characters are so grounded they feel realistic in their setting not like those current days heroes crap its kind of an achievement to make peolpes want to buy a game just by presenting the characters without actual gameplay even back in the days, my only regret is that i wasn't able to play it right when it came out i started playing right after the War update and i wish i was there right from the start because it was love at first sight and it always been like this, i even spend halloween and christmas on the game, this game is just a fucking legend
AH YES IVE BEEN WANTING YOU TO REACT TO THIS FOR A WHILE ^_^
My favourite is definitely spy or medic!
I was not expecting this reaction, But im glad I live in a world where it happened
You should react to "Live and Let Spy" a great Tf2 SFM
I agree but it's the third video from "The fedora chronicles". I think it would be better to watch them in order, starting with Operation 2fort, The bolted behemoth, and then Live and let spy.
Wow a lot of people who first see medic say "he looks like a ghost busters"
My favorite class in the Engineer, my favorite "‘Meet The" definitely goes to Medic.
Nowadays, people can cherish Team Fortress 2 in memes....
i never thought i would watch captain price react to the tf2 team, but here i am.
A lot of TF2 videos are unofficial made by fans on source Filmmaker.
Jungle Inferno and the Mann vs Machine cinematic are some other official ones you might like
This entire video is just him watching red team anniallating blu team
no reaction when in 'meet the sandvich' it said 'new! meat!' that one always got me xD
