the greatest tf2 mystery ever: people standing in spawn in team fortress 2 and they're not playing the tf2 game

DISCLAIMER READ NOW: THIS IS AN APRIL FOOL'S VIDEO. NONE OF THIS IS REAL. I made it all up. almost everything in this video is misinformation. it's all a joke. DO NOT TAKE ANY OF THIS AS REAL INFORMATION (the photo badge thing is real though as far as i know). if it wasn't already obvious enough with some of the things i said. "the code would get into other mods" wtf does that even mean. i wrote this script very late at night and whipped this one up real quick thats why it isn't very good
special thanks:
bp for making a fake website, absolute g
five man and rat for thumbnail help
gamebanana.com... this is the bot overhaul mod i used for the parts in the video but unlike Sizzer's it is safe and will NOT get you banned

whoa, he fooled me.
holy fuck
The most unrealistic part about this is Valve's anti cheat actually working.
no actually its pretty realistic, banning all the wrong people
Had a buddy who very blantly cheated on a Minecraft Trade Server (Wall Hacks + Aimbot). We were on most of the night (him doing his thing, I think I was failing to do a jumping puzzle as all the classes).
It took like, multiple days to a week of him doing this to get a VAC Ban. Crazy
Wait what irs illegal.
@@kikio2913 lol
@@thewanderersrespite8074 Yeah Vac is made so it bans people with a delay so they don't know what cheats caused the ban more info here: th-cam.com/video/CwmktObDUlM/w-d-xo.html
That was the greatest build up to a joke I have ever witnessed
Wow your comment was front of the page and you spoiled it
@@nateee2970 eh, fishtank himself pinned a comment saying "april fools" so u rly shouldnt cry or spoiled milk!!! (see what i did there)
What was the joke
@@brooke6472 it's all a build up to a scizzors pun
@@idk-cc1ep Ohhh I finally got it
GODDAMNIT I WAS ACTUALLY SO INVESTED
Bro you have no idea
HAHAAAA
FOOLED BY YOUR VIEWERS AND NOW FISHTANK
YOU FOOOL
THE YAHIAMICE!!
oh shit thats yaamihamice
I got through about 80% of this video before I remembered what day it was. I was genuinely intrigued by the story too, but that ending was just masterful. Bravo sir.
Anomalocaris is an extinct genus of radiodont, an order of animals thought to be closely related to ancestral arthropods. The first fossils of Anomalocaris were discovered in the Ogygopsis Shale by Joseph Frederick Whiteaves, with more examples found by Charles Doolittle Walcott in the Burgess Shale.
Yoo Hintshot, i love your videos man very well edited and it helped me with spy alot
lol
@@ikene3375 Fancy meeting you here
I see you almost everywhere as well
Even though this was an obvious april fools joke, I thought maybe it was just an out of character video where you talk about something serious, until "sizzler's mod" got shortened to "sizzers" and I knew there was gonna be some kind of scissors pun somewhere
I thought is was gonna be scissor sisters or something like that TF2 Inflation joke
thank god i didnt see it coming
hi kez
My brain entirely forgot about that joke and i only realized it was April fools when the "website" he showed seemed like one made in 2001
"obvious"
Let this cautionary tale be a lesson to all traders.
It's fake. It's an april fools joke with a really long build-up. (the joke happens at the last 3 seconds of the video)
In the description he says its all misinformation just for an april fools joke lmfao.
@@paintball7797 wow sherlock holmes is alive and well
@@Rei322 Honestly the video did seem kinda convincing, I can see why this guy was fooled. (I know its april fools btw)
@@paintball7797 oh dude you are such a silly little goblin
"Don't run around with sizzer's"

That was the longest set up for a joke I've ever seen, and I love jokes that take forever to set up
Yeah Love Thoses Too
If you love jokes like that then I highly recommend "Lost in the Desert". Allegedly, it's the longest joke in the world.
@@ChazwickAmadeus Wow
@@ChazwickAmadeuswhat is it?
Thought this was gonna be a joke about the bots infesting casual games so it genuinely caught me off-guard.
Good job, sir.
Same here.
Damn, I was actually hoping for some kind of scientific human behavioural analysis on why you always end up with like 5 AFK players in casual mode. Even when you started talking about a mod, I thought maybe it would result in an answer more interesting than people just leaving their computer to do something else and forgetting about it. I was pretty convinced on this until the bit where the mod would randomly "infect" people's computers, then it just started sounding like some old creepypasta.
its an april fools video dumbass
The real creepypasta here is why I can’t see the other reply on this comment.. TH-cam..!
Well, although the video itself is a joke, the idea of community servers sometimes having old outdated code which you are forced to download, isn’t too far fetched, at least with my limited coding knowledge
He did mention other modders using It to test, It makes sense: a big part of coding Is All about reusing and repurposing preexisting assets, so It would be reasonable for other Mods to have some of the code from this One if the bot menù was that usefull.
..then the grey, overly dramatic screen arrived and the pun hit me. Goddamnit, i didn't realize what day It was three weeks ago. This Is the YT equivalent of stepping on an unexploded mine set there years ago.
@@waterboys5006 some comments from other areas of the world are blocked for other people
I went into this assuming it was an April Fool's joke, but through your delivery and storytelling, I seriously forgot and became invested. Well played, Mr. Htank
The fact you took a small part of an interesting video and completely uncovered the mystery of said part is baffling and I'm infatuated with that.
Wait.
*The two stages of April Fools.*
foreshadowing at its best
I'm almost happy to say that this April fools joke got me. It was too well contructed. I just can't be angry. Genuinly well done.
I watched this after april fools and didn't check the date so I was genuinely hooked until the final moment, and it actually took a second for it to click.
I was like, come on man finish the story!! and then I realized.
Like, obviously it makes no sense that mods could cross server data and vac ban other people but your presentation was so captivating that I just didn't even think about it. Bravo, man.
Me watching on 24th of April: "There was no way I could've seen that. RIP, me."
Though I did see some creepypasta elements that I should've given more thought to.
Idk maybe it could be spread by sprays or something
I cannot beleive how hard that april fools joke _blindsided_ me. I knew instantly on hearing that last joke that I got pranked! One of the best april fools videos I've ever seen
Now I want a Sizzer's Mod ARG. I was genuinely interested in this story.
Its 2 weeks after April first so this ABSOLUTELY GOT ME.
My god.. I was just sitting with my face in my palm for like 3 minutes in silence after the punchline.
I was so invested in the story
Hello! I am 45 years old and I recently found my 6 year old son watching this horrifying video! Please take this down immediately he will not stop having nightmares about somewhere called "two fort"(?). I am in immense distress and this recent event is tearing my family apart! I hope one day my poor little son Jeremy elbertson jr will be back to normal. For now though, the nightmares wont stop. Please will someone help my son? I've tried all I can but nothing works... Please.
Piss on him.
what
oh fuck oh god jermas cloning himself again
trolle
@@themilkman2422 i found him under a bridge screaming about something called a 'shpee' i fear he may be possesed
This is a crazy amount of effort man. Amazing job, best April Fools I’ve seen the entire day!
Jesus I’ve seen many “April Fools” videos that were blatant like “Heavy Update, Captaincy Update, Ice Biome for SoT, Deleting my own channel, etc” and didn’t fall for any of them, because without even clicking the video I knew it was bait. But this however was just a masterpiece, and didn’t even realise it was an April fools til the end.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"running with scissors"
this had me thinking how videos can be made to bring awareness to misinformation with a "gotcha" moment in the end, highlighting people's inability at asking questions and their tendency to take things at face value, believing in everything they see online.
This dude makes videos of a 15 year old game on TH-cam. Are we really supposed to expect someone to be lying about it at this point?
@@TheDsRequiem Thats what allows people to be fooled by misinformation. They take it for what it is, and don't expect them to lie about it. You only proved his point.
you wrote one of the most genuinely interesting TF2 stories, about how the inner workings of the game were screwed up by a mod with mostly believable concepts, AND THEN-
fr tho your stuff is killer.
god the amount of time and effort put into this still BAFFLES me today, probably one of the best april fools jokes I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing
This was genuinely the best April Fools prank I’ve ever received. I’d never heard of the channel, and I’ve never been super interested in TF2, but for 9:07, I was HOOKED. Being April 25th now, I didn’t expect a thing lmao, kudos
You had me completely invested.
Mouth agape, full interest, procrastination on full force.
And you pull that.
Phenomenal work lmao.
Didn't see when it came out, heard the pun, saw the date, cried.
Oi boy I can’t wait to play TF2
*proceeds to leave the game open and do anything else
yes
You genuinely had me until the last sentence i commend you
I was completely invested, from the beginning till the end, when you dropped the "you shouldn't run with scissor" + black screen my disappointment was immeasurable, and my day was ruined
I was looking at the April 1st 2022 the entire time and thought, "wow that's a bad day to upload a serious video, that's unfortunate"
I really thought this was a true story even after I fully watched the video. Realized this video was an April fool joke when I read the description. Amazing video, kept my interest all the way.
This is so nicely done.
The algorithm suggested this video to me. It's April 28th, but I had a feeling very early on that this was probably an April fools joke. Then I forgot. Then I darn sure remembered again at the end! Fantastic.
that is such a genuinely good story, the joke actually got me by surprise by the end due to how invested I was.
Here I am, 22 days later, finding this video in my recommended. I play tf2 every now and then, but not enough to know in depth stuff. I was thoroughly invested in the story being told, overlooked the whole "shortened to scissors" thing. That last sentence. Followed by me realizing what day this was posted. A truck could not have hit me as hard as this. Well played.
the most elaborate joke ive seen on youtube. your videos never dissapoint
are we not going to talk about the fact that he managed to do 621 damage with the equalizer at 7:37
equalizer + low health + crit + fists of steel melee vulnerability + L + ratio
You're just gonna play with my emotions and say "April fools"?
Watching this not on april fools was a rollercoaster
This is the best April fools joke I've ever seen man. Before I went to the comments after watching the vid, I literally forced myself to investigate this "situation". Holy crap man great job.
Man this was amazing! I really wish this existed in my recommended way ealrier, would've been (and is) the best april fools video I had witnessed.
They really had us in the first half ngl
Amazing april fools joke. I didnt realize it was even an april fools joke until I checked the upload date.
GG man what an excellently edited video, unironically super interesting and ofc that joke actually got me laughing, happy April fools!
2 weeks after april fools and I STILL get fooled, wow
I knew this video seemed a little TOO serious for you, and that April Fools is beyond an insane troll fest, but THIS was a step further man...
it's 3rd of august for me right now. there was no way i could've prepared for this..
Strangely enough, I have experienced this phenomenon in casual... over half the team was afk, but everyone was decked out as you'd expcet an average tf2 player to be
To this day I think about that sometimes
1. Hi Shadraw, greetings from your friend Phoebe
2. This was an april fools joke
@@phantomasque1102 >:(
all of this, a whole ass story that was incredible believible, for a second long joke. at first i thought my video glitched, then when i rewinded i understood and laughed my ass of lmao
watched this the day after and the overwhelming feeling of wrath at that ending is unimaginable
Imagine watching this 2 weeks later and not realizing anything until the punchline at the end.
Your editing is always so good I can't help but watch your videos twice
Halfway through the video I had the EXACT thought: ‘Hey wouldn’t it be funny if this was just a super elaborate set up for some wordplay joke at the end.”
Some sixth sense warned me and I’ve forsaken it
This had such an eerie early 2000's creepypasta vibe. Part of me knew something was off but it was told so well it just worked so I rolled with it. Well done sir.
Should never have rolled with scissors
Watching this while high, complete failed to notice anything wrong at all and was genuinely interested in the story line, only to be slapped in the face with a joke with the greatest amount of build up known to man
Sir, you have occupied 9:09 of my lifespan and have fooled me up until the very end of this charade, to which you have my greatest commendation
This actually felt very real
I don't think a video has gotten me this badly in my entire life, gg
Bruhhhhh I didnt bother to notice what date it was uploaded ffs. The abrupt ending had me confused.
As a person who has never played TF2 before I literally believed the story until the very end
As a person with nearly a thousand hours in the game, so did I tbh
Congrats on 100k!
My god man, even though I knew it was april fools you had me hooked with (what I'm assuming to be) this ridiculously made up story right until that stupid pun at the end. Your trolling powers are weapons of destruction.
I thought this was real until I read the description because I was confused on why the video ended there
I smell April fools joke, watching it anyway
This is a masterpiece. Bravo sir.
This video has changed my life.
You bastard I checked the description to see if there was more to the story cause I felt legit sad and then hit with “disclaimer this is not real” the best I’ve ever been gotten
What's funny is that there's a real mod that overhauls the bot AI and gives them hats, so I initially thought it was related to that.
I think I’ve been in servers running that mod/a mod like it.
You see, the REAL effectiveness of this video comes from the fact I had it recommended to me on the 6th... and I had no idea anything was up right until that abrupt pun right at the end that hit me like a semitruck bursting through the drywall and smattering my remains across half the neighborhood.
The research you did was astounding! Can’t wait for more content
I never got April fooled since it’s April 2 now
Watching this 5 months later thought this whole thing was real
that was the greatest joke ever, and the fact that i sat through nine minutes for it was worth it 10/10
I want a version of this where you don't cut it off, and continue the script. I was so invested until I read the disclaimer and now I want to know what would have happened next.
Doo doo fart
9 min drag lead to a single punchline. Clever.
Watching 4 days later I didn't realize this was April first, I went to comments thinking that you had just messed up the upload 😭😭 got me good
At first I was confused why it ended so abruptly but now after knowing it’s an April fools prank I get it now lmao
The entire video I thought the punchline would have something to do with pH and I kept waiting for you to make a science pun and you just
This is my favourite 1st of April joke I've ever experienced, thankyou.
I thought something was up when you mentioned the serious tone at the beginning of the video but I was firmly fooled from that point onward. Bravo.
God damn, I had this playing in the background. That was genius, well played
Even when he's joking his efforts show no bounds
Bruuuuuh the ending got me 😭
Fantastic video yo, you really had me interested in this story up until the very end. Nice April fools video!
I knew the day it was posted. But all that suspence for a stupid scissors joke. Maaann, peak comedy
4:32 was the moment i knew the punchline
anyway, sequel?
This is the first video on tf2 and your first video that I’ve watched.... and it’s three weeks after April so I wasn’t ready.
Man it took me a solid minute after reading your pinned comment to realize the punchline at the end… I ACTUALLY BELIEVED ALL OF THIS!!
For those wondering, the music at the 2fort segments near the end is the left 4 dead 2 menu ost
you trplicated that "spooky TH-cam commentator documentary" editing style that i hate so so much to a tee. thanks for the best april fools joke of the year
My good god, JESUS, now that was impressive. I was truly invested for 9 full minuets, then BOOM it all turns out to be a huge buildup for a punchline, my god XD
Had no idea this was an April fools until reading the comments, but wow, well done :D this was amazing
I swear every video from this person gives me nostalgia. As soon as the Stalag Flucht music from the escapists played, I instantly recognized it
I didnt realize this was uploaded on April 1st hahaha. I was so into the story! When i heard the punchline at the end I busted out laughing lol
This has been in my Watch Later for literal ages and now that i finally got around to watching it IT TURNS OUT TO BE A JOKE
There is a website that claims to give you steam gift cards for AFKing on their cs:go server for a while (a long while) so this actually sounded realistic, I can't velieve I fell for an april fools joke 2 weeks after april fools
WHAT?
WHAT THE FUCK?
That was, quite possibly, the most amazing joke build-up I've ever witnessed. Like, I actually got invested in the story, and began to wonder if it was an April Fools video.
Bravo, Fishy Man. You're the only person who got me.
this got recommended to me today on my tv so i didnt see it was uploaded on april fools. i thought every moment was true and the punchline at the end left me in a state of utter shock
Never seen your channel, never played TF2.
Genuinely was invested in all of this.
Fucking hell, you got me to comment on a TH-cam video, which I almost never do.
Good fucking shit dude.
6:40 HEY THE ESCAPIST SOUND TRACK
that entire fucking setup just for a singular joke. Good job man
The build up to a "running with scissors" joke was legendary
