I love how the title has a triple meaning - Expiration Date as in bread that goes moldy - Expiration Date because it's the day all the Mercs will die (supposedly) - Date cause Scout wants to go on at date with Miss Pauling.
@@chelzorthedestroyer10 years since it was released to public to see and to this day this is funny af and i cant hold laugh from it. not to mention countless times i watched this sfm masterpiece.
Honestly, Soldier in Expiration Date is just incredibly iconic. Definitly some of the most memorable lines/scenes of the thing are with him. This one, teleporting bread, "we are going to live forever!"
10:08 I think a context that a lot of casual viewers miss out on when watching the official TF2 content is that the mercs and world are set in the 60s, which comes through in a lot of the art style and humor but it's never explicitly pointed out in the videos, more-so in other media like the comics. That context makes a lot of details and jokes in the characters more significant, like the medic being a morally bankrupt medical doctor or the soldier being a patriotic caricature because he was a young man when World War II happened. I've seen most people take that line about Scout wanting a lady that can read as "haha, Scout usually picks up trailer park trash and has low standards" but it's actually a sweet observation given Scout himself is shown to be semi-illiterate, struggling to read words like "submachine gun" in the comics. It shows that Scout really admires Pauling more than an average girl because she's a capable and intelligent woman with a nice personality that kind of subverts Scout's more superficial sensibilities.
@Sonicsgirl13 I love Scout and Pauling's portrayal in the game and expiration date; the comics kind of go for a one-sided "will they won't they" where they really play a lot of jokes off of scout being a desperate hopeless romantic and Pauling just kind of acknowledging him in a semi disinterested way. Pauling never really expresses a reciprocated love in the comics but in killer contract dialogues and expiration date it shows more the idea that she likes Scout too, she's just more reserved and professional about it than the Scout could be. I don't need them to be lovey-dovey in canon; but that one voice line where Pauling gets flustered and fumbles her words after telling Scout that she needs him for a job by phrasing it as "Scout, I need you" lives rent free in my head. I love their work-oriented Bookworm / playful doofus dynamic
@@ninjacreeper1066 I actually find Scout being a hopeless romantic towards Pauling hilarious and even cuter. It also made me wonder if he ever did the sideways tango with other women; Zhanna literally offered some fun time with Scout but his loyalty to Pauling got in the way. But thinking back on it now, he likely fooled around before meeting Pauling and has been hopelessly romantic and loyal ever since. I don't believe it to be one sided in the comics. Ms. Pauling is just so stupidly busy especially in the Mann Co no more line that she just doesn't have room for romance at the time. I remember folks saying that she's a lesbian due to her reaction to Zhanna being naked and having little to no interest in Scout. She could be Bi or she was just in shock by it all; poor girl has been through so much...she deserves more than one day a year to relax.
@Sonicsgirl13 TLDR; I love them as a couple regardless what media they're in but I prefer the game and the short because I'd rather have a potential "will they, won't they" then a "will they, why won't you leave her alone". There's a lot of flip flop on whether or not Scout is a virgin, in the game; it's implied in some areas that he has tried to/succeeded at picking up ladies but there are in-game jabs from certain mercenaries like spy who say that he's a virgin and I feel like the Spy would somehow know that. I don't believe they address it in the comics, but I think they allude that he may still be a virgin when he meets God in heaven. Even in expiration date, they show him getting with the Fried Chicken girl, but they don't explicitly say or show that he did the deed, but I think it's implied. it's just one of those details that's kinda been inconsistent for the sake of what jokes they want to make with Scout; he can be the sleazy ladies man while also being the overcompinsating virgin, like whether pyro is a woman or a man. As for the portrayal in the comics, I could definitely see that Pauling isn't necessarily disinterested just that she's too busy to deal with it, and I personally don't think the comics needed a romance plot outside of soldier and Zhanna for comedy. But that just further points to why my favorite interpretation of Pauling and Scouts' relationship *as a potential couple* is the game and exp. date. The comics give them a fun coworker dynamic but often joke that Scout is in over his head or delusional about his feelings for Ms Pauling and they go with that sort of old' school joke route where Scout is kind of a pushy dweeb who can't take no but someday he'll win her over by breaking her down, they literally make a joke about how Scout has this mentality in the comics. And I don't mind that version of Scout's character. He has a lot of iconic moments it just doesn't always feel like the Scout that I've come to appreciate, personally. And I'm just not as big a fan of that particular romantic back and forth, I much prefer the idea of these two people who live dangerous lifestyles finding companionship and eventually pining for each other but their work constantly gets in the way of that fulfilled happiness, I like that Pauling is work-oriented and always puts the job first but I like those little moments where the mask slips and she says something that lets Scout know that she thinks of him from time to time. And Scout just being a Merc who does his job, doesn't know about the grand machinations playing around him. He just finds it to be an excuse to work with this person he idolizes and doesn't entirely understand the pressure Pauling has to deal with outside of him just killing guys and taking Intel. That's just my take on it, though. I still ship them no matter what media they're in.
Miss Pauline may only get one day off a year, but the administrator (the female announcer in the game matches) only gets one hour off a year. She spends it feeding pidgeons, because she likes watching small-minded creatures fighting each other for crumbs.
@chelzorthedestroyer its established in the comic's, spy is aware he is his estranged son but scout is not, i think the comic's were released before this, it spiralled off of the your mum joke in meet the spy into actual canon

@@chelzorthedestroyerIf you’re legitimately interested in looking into the comics, a channel called The Beard has dramatic readings/dubs of every Comic to date, if you want to incorporate them into your reactions. Performances done in character, obviously.
This would have been a great show. This was supposed to be a pilot for a TF2 series for Adult Swim on Cartoon Network, but Valve kept failing to meet deadlines, so Adult Swim cancelled production and pulled the plug on the pitch.
I don’t think you understand the sheer amount of ego and pride Scout had to swallow to get Spy’s help. Scout is narcissistic to such a degree he’s bordering on a god complex.
all of the mercs have a God comples and/or are narcissists Scout thinks he's a -lady- girl killer Soldier has a bunch of egotistical lines ("This is my world, you are not welcome in my world!" "If God had wanted you to live, he would not have created me!") Pyro thinks he's helping everybody and selflessly spreading joy Demo seems to think his enemies are doomed to Hell ("Ohh they're goin' to have ta' glue you back together, IN HELL!") and one of his jeer voicelines is "I almost joined their bloody team!" implying he is trying to save face and pretending to be an enemy Heavy considers everyone besides himself tiny baby men Engineer quite literally says "I. AM. A. GOD!" when casting a rare spell Medic is self explanatory Sniper is very edgy and constantly insults his headshot victims, despite being one of the easiest classes to headshot himself Spy thinks he is the only smart person on the team
FYI: Soldier is, in fact homeless and destitute, which is why he collects anything he can get his hands on. Plus a severe case of PTSD without the depression.
It is lead poisoning. In fact, even when the team got fresh water shipped to tufort, soldier still drank the lead poisoned water. No wonder every branch of the military turned him down.
love how during the whole video, you can see soldier just kinda collecting bread to teleport, like its actualy being shown he has been teleporting bread for 3 days
11:45 best part, canonically in the comic series. They reveal that Spy is Scout's actually father who left him. He is trying to help Scout kinda like a father figure, you can see his facial expressions soften briefly in some of the shots. Figure it should be mentioned since not sure if you would get to the comics, especially since they cancelled the comic series right before they released the final book
Well based on confirmed reports from a month ago, the writers behind the comic series are still working on the 7th comic. Their current progress is that the script is finished, and it’s being drawn; however it was also stated that there are no promises on when it will be released. Though regardless of that, it does seem (at the moment) that the final issue of the comic is going to come out.
Her name is Pauling, and that’s her last name. The only thing we know about her first name is that it starts with an F. Also, I just imagined Scout approaching Chelzor with a bucket of chicken, but he messed it up and in my mind I accidentally said “Hey, I got a fucket of chicken, you wanna buck?” 🤣
It blew my mind when i learned Miss Pauling was voiced by Ashley Burch. A.K.A Viper (Overwatch), Tiny Tina(Borderland series) or Chloe Price (Life Is Strange)
I have heard so many Dungeons and Dragons stories where the players try to do something stupid and the DM’s response is screaming “SEDUCE ME!” after a persuasion roll.
13:05 and in the end, Spy realises he did indeed screw up (just as he did when he abandoned him as a father) and just tells him do what he wants, because he doesn't deserve to (and is too crazy to) dictate who Scout is now that he's grown up without Spy in his life... and he's so happy that Scout realised this. Spy really is the closest to actually nice in the group alongside Heavy.
@@chelzorthedestroyer "Moist and delicious! Hehaha!" -TF2 Heavy. Yeah, I'd like to be creative with my favorite foods. Examples include Grilled cheese with Spam in it, a Loco Moco, a Hawaiian dish with three layers of rice, a hamburger patty, and an egg smothered in a savory gravy, and my absolute favorite Filipino dishes, Chicken or Pork Adobo with Fried Rice.
Valve has always been great at providing resources to the community so they can make mods and other content, they even hired some of the modders and made full games with them. Source Filmmaker is a great tool, using the game engine to create animations like this, update trailers and the Meet the team themselves but also allowing people to create a ton of them over the decades, not only dumb jokes or Skibidi Toilets.
I will be forever in mourning over the planned Adult Swim show that this was supposed to be the pilot for getting canned. God it could have been so good
I'm eating two slices of Stuffed crust Pepperoni pizza from Pizza Hut, a slice of my birthday cake ( homemade Butterfinger crust cheesecake), and a bottle of water.
this is the first time i actually have something to snack on during on of your vids (salted cashews!) and i almost spit out my nuts when you actually laughed at the bucket bit, i have seen more reactions to expiration date than should be considered healthy and noone has laughed or even acknowledged it except you (well and one other guy but he just sat there laughing his ass off at every little thing that happened, like that was fifteen minutes of straight nonstop laughter) your laugh is great, i like the content, your reactions are top tier (unlike other people who just talk over everything without ever even looking at the spacebar or those people who pause every five seconds), -chest (i am too gay for this world lol)- id say youve more than earned another subscriber
also if anyone thinks Chelzors take on seducing chat was bad, if a girl comes up to me like "hey bish you wanna come get mozzarella sticks" i am going immediately lmao im a very dominant girl, but if you hit the right spots (like mozzarella sticks or especially chicken) its easy to crack me
So this was actually supposed to be the pilot episode for a TF2 TV show on Adult Swim, but the deal ended up falling through because Valve took too long and wouldn't make the pilot fit within the alloted time limit. I'll never forgive them for it. This would've been an amazing show.
18:20 omg you are the FIRST person reacting to this that noticed the fact that Engie did tell him "teleport as much bread as you like" and Soldier took it literally.
If you're in ANY way interested in the gameplay side of the classes, I *strongly* recommend checking the 'How it FEELS to Play' series by LazyPurple (including 'extras' videos), his videos are interesting, honestly quite funny and tends to involve SFM segments to emphasise something, recreate part of a match at the start of his video or, most frequently, for a joke like the frequent 'screw you, I am gonna go play Minecraft' one.
@@chelzorthedestroyer Basically, when it comes to whether or not the mercs on the two different teams are separate people or not things gets a bit unclear. Canonically there's one of each merc on each team but when the lore talks about a merc's backstory it refers to them as if they were the only one. For instance Scout is a boy named Jeremy who grew up in Boston with a single mother and seven older brothers who he had to learn to outrun, and this is canon for Scout regardless of if he's the red Scout or the blu Scout. So the mercs on team red and the mercs on team blu are sort of the same people but also canonically separate people and the lore just never explains this.
this was supposed to be a test run for an actual TF2 show airing on Adult Swim. it's half the quality it would have been since Engi and Heavy's actors couldn't make it, so it didn't make the cut and the project was scrapped. on the flip side, we got Arcane instead.... so.... _win?_ question mark?
I ran a DND campaign a few years back, one of the players wanted to flirt with a random NPC because they thought it was funny. I did exactly what spy did here, "Seduce me."
I think my favourte hidden detail in Expiration Date is that Pauling talks about how that';s her only day off, but she road in *with* a bag of body parts. so ether she has some odd interests, or she was also working on her day off. And since she's pretty heavily autism-coded, my guess is the second.
Yes!!! Love this short (especially for the Soldier's comedy)!! Now I'mma recommend watching LazyPurple's "How It Feels To Play TF2" series so you can have a better understanding of the game itself (assuming you're still interested in that).
Honestly, with the kind of life he's probably lived as a ladykiller secret agent person, I actually wouldn't be surprised if Spy's "I think it's going pretty well" comment was sincere. Like I'd believe that he's had crazier dates. (As a side note, I second the recommendation you've already been getting in other comments about checking out fandubs of the official webcomic, specifically the Mann Co. No More storyline that starts with Ring of Fired. However, I also recommend that you read or watch a fandub of the Catch-Up Comic first so you can get up to speed with the most important parts of the plot.)
I still say you should watch overwatch vs tf2 but explained with food, it does a great job of showing you how the tf2 braincell works. Also, videos by Lazypurple and Soundsmith are also good options for a bingewatch on stream, as well as Solarlight's highlight videos.
@chelzorthedestroyer explained with food is a one off video so that's just something you can watch anytime, but the others are series, so might wanna wait for a good opportunity for those.
0:52: Which is a shame. When I was little my dad put me in the car and drove around for 5-10 minutes and I always fell asleep. When I'm not driving it's still like that. At the very least I get very relaxed. It's like an oversized massage chair to me...
One thing that for sure someone has already pointed out is that it is very likely that Spy decided to help Scout because in the comics it is implied that Spy is Scout's biological father but scout doesn't know while Spy does, so it's a very sweet moment if you think this is some way of father-son bonding on what each other thought was their last days alive.

Their current progress is that the script is finished, and it’s being drawn; however it was also stated that there are no promises on when it will be released. Though regardless of that, it does seem (at the moment) that the final issue of the comic is going to come out.
“We are going to live forever!” is the quote that gets me in this. RIP Rick May.
16:36 "That's not gonna work out in the long run"
He doesn't have a long run though
Haha, good point.
@@chelzorthedestroyer Scout will die on December 6th 1987, as stated by *God himself* in the TF2 comics.
Her name is Pauling, and that’s her last name. The only thing we know about her first name is that it starts with an F. Also, I just imagined Scout approaching Chelzor with a bucket of chicken, but he messed it up and in my mind I accidentally said “Hey, I got a fucket of chicken, you wanna buck?” 🤣
Seduce chat: "who wants treats?! How about walkies?"
Ah, that bucket bit kills me every time.
Treats are the ultimate rizz, lol
It blew my mind when i learned Miss Pauling was voiced by Ashley Burch. A.K.A Viper (Overwatch), Tiny Tina(Borderland series) or Chloe Price (Life Is Strange)
I have heard so many Dungeons and Dragons stories where the players try to do something stupid and the DM’s response is screaming “SEDUCE ME!” after a persuasion roll.
The thing about reacting to TF2 videos is, you will never get free from them ever again. You will get pestered to watch more and more.
Because there are so many good ones. I've never asked her to watch anything, but I can see why others do.
Well since you asked
I am eating spaghetti and drinking cola
Oh yea! That Italian goodness, with a side of America.
What makes this wholesome is that Spy is Scout's dad and this is basically a dad teaching his son how to ask out a girl
no other game today has achieved the longevity and influence than tf2, all hail the king of fps games
I mean... Chess, lol
fun fact, spy is scout's dad. also scout is literally "god's gift to women" as said by GOD HIMSELF
“This is a bucket” never fails to kill me
“Dear God”
5:45 It genuinely surprises me that soldier is canonically a lawyer
For like 2 minutes but ok
13:05 and in the end, Spy realises he did indeed screw up (just as he did when he abandoned him as a father) and just tells him do what he wants, because he doesn't deserve to (and is too crazy to) dictate who Scout is now that he's grown up without Spy in his life... and he's so happy that Scout realised this. Spy really is the closest to actually nice in the group alongside Heavy.
I was told blue spy is red scouts dad, and vice versa.
You've got the same Rizz as scout. Both of you rely on food. LMAO
Yea... but I chose ice cream and mozzarella sticks, lol. Completely different
I imagine the success rate is determined by the food, the recipient, and how hungry said recipient is. I wonder if anyone's done a study...🤔
This reminds me how much I miss the TF2 animations...
It was a lot of fun!
"Heavy likes this one most." -TF2 Heavy.
Also, I'm eating fried eggs with Spam, rice, and soy sauce; something simple yet fulfilling and delicious.
Yo! Eggs, Spam, and rice. A way common Korean dish, lol.
@@chelzorthedestroyer "Moist and delicious! Hehaha!" -TF2 Heavy.
Yeah, I'd like to be creative with my favorite foods. Examples include Grilled cheese with Spam in it, a Loco Moco, a Hawaiian dish with three layers of rice, a hamburger patty, and an egg smothered in a savory gravy, and my absolute favorite Filipino dishes, Chicken or Pork Adobo with Fried Rice.
13:25 Ice cream and mozzarella sticks sounds like an awesome date.
Ahh yes the cakes a lie
HAHAHAHA I TELEPORTED BREEEEEAAAAAAD!
Nothing but! for days! lol
13:30 mozzarella sticks would work on me, and that’s sad.
See, I got rizz.
Just imagine setting up a perfect date in the next thing you know you see a big giant monstrosity behind a Door ready to Kill you on site irl
The disguise is flawless, nobody will suspect a thing! 1:43
Haha, it really cracked me up.
Fun Fact: There was an in-game event where teleporters popped out pieces of bread for a while to celebrate the video.
Valve has always been great at providing resources to the community so they can make mods and other content, they even hired some of the modders and made full games with them. Source Filmmaker is a great tool, using the game engine to create animations like this, update trailers and the Meet the team themselves but also allowing people to create a ton of them over the decades, not only dumb jokes or Skibidi Toilets.
12:09 father son bonding 😊
Apparently the Blue Spy is the Red Scouts dad, and the Red Spy is the Blue Scouts Dady, lol.
I will be forever in mourning over the planned Adult Swim show that this was supposed to be the pilot for getting canned. God it could have been so good
7:50 Scout: *laughs* "Classic Scout."
I'm eating two slices of Stuffed crust Pepperoni pizza from Pizza Hut, a slice of my birthday cake ( homemade Butterfinger crust cheesecake), and a bottle of water.
Yo! I got Mellow Mushroom today, so we are Pizza buds
Btw this was supposed to be the start of an animated series for tf2 but due to taking soo long to animate on time, it was cancelled
From what I remember from a friend that this was supposed to be a pilot episode for team fortress the series for adult swim am I right
that is what some of the comments say.
funnily enough, my mother JUST brought home some fried chicken for dinner. the immersion was perfect
Oh man, lucky!
literally as soon as Scout said "we both got buckets of chicken", too. the timing literally could not have been more perfect
this is the first time i actually have something to snack on during on of your vids (salted cashews!) and i almost spit out my nuts when you actually laughed at the bucket bit, i have seen more reactions to expiration date than should be considered healthy and noone has laughed or even acknowledged it except you (well and one other guy but he just sat there laughing his ass off at every little thing that happened, like that was fifteen minutes of straight nonstop laughter)
your laugh is great, i like the content, your reactions are top tier (unlike other people who just talk over everything without ever even looking at the spacebar or those people who pause every five seconds), -chest (i am too gay for this world lol)- id say youve more than earned another subscriber
also if anyone thinks Chelzors take on seducing chat was bad, if a girl comes up to me like "hey bish you wanna come get mozzarella sticks" i am going immediately lmao
im a very dominant girl, but if you hit the right spots (like mozzarella sticks or especially chicken) its easy to crack me
“Why is that apple bleeding?”
Because it was stabbed. What would you do if you were stabbed? NOT bleed?
"We are going to live FOREVER"
If only Soldier...
O7
So this was actually supposed to be the pilot episode for a TF2 TV show on Adult Swim, but the deal ended up falling through because Valve took too long and wouldn't make the pilot fit within the alloted time limit.
I'll never forgive them for it. This would've been an amazing show.
The cake was always a lie 🥺
Indeed, these are both from the same company right?
@@chelzorthedestroyer I would believe so
Yes same company@@chelzorthedestroyer
5:48
It contains a bucket
Dear God
@@chelzorthedestroyer there's more
18:20 omg you are the FIRST person reacting to this that noticed the fact that Engie did tell him "teleport as much bread as you like" and Soldier took it literally.
If you're in ANY way interested in the gameplay side of the classes, I *strongly* recommend checking the 'How it FEELS to Play' series by LazyPurple (including 'extras' videos), his videos are interesting, honestly quite funny and tends to involve SFM segments to emphasise something, recreate part of a match at the start of his video or, most frequently, for a joke like the frequent 'screw you, I am gonna go play Minecraft' one.
This video hits so much different now that we know that red Spy canonically is red Scout's father but red Scout doesn't know this.
I think blue spy is red scouts father.
@@chelzorthedestroyer nope. Red Spy is both Scouts' father.
@@chelzorthedestroyer Basically, when it comes to whether or not the mercs on the two different teams are separate people or not things gets a bit unclear. Canonically there's one of each merc on each team but when the lore talks about a merc's backstory it refers to them as if they were the only one. For instance Scout is a boy named Jeremy who grew up in Boston with a single mother and seven older brothers who he had to learn to outrun, and this is canon for Scout regardless of if he's the red Scout or the blu Scout. So the mercs on team red and the mercs on team blu are sort of the same people but also canonically separate people and the lore just never explains this.
this was supposed to be a test run for an actual TF2 show airing on Adult Swim.
it's half the quality it would have been since Engi and Heavy's actors couldn't make it, so it didn't make the cut and the project was scrapped.
on the flip side, we got Arcane instead.... so.... _win?_ question mark?
I heard, very neat pitch. Sad it didn't go anywhere.
I ran a DND campaign a few years back, one of the players wanted to flirt with a random NPC because they thought it was funny. I did exactly what spy did here, "Seduce me."
I have gotten a surprising amount of usage out of the line, "I have done nothing but teleport bread for three days."
I think my favourte hidden detail in Expiration Date is that Pauling talks about how that';s her only day off, but she road in *with* a bag of body parts. so ether she has some odd interests, or she was also working on her day off.
And since she's pretty heavily autism-coded, my guess is the second.
Hmmm, I guess she figured she'd get some work done if she has to come in to the office.
little fact: Team Fortress 2 was actually going to be a series in Adult Swim, there's even a short commercial of TF2 from adult swim
Missed joke:
At the end Pauline said: I am going to kill you friday.
In other words: Scout has once again 3 days to live XD
Yes!!! Love this short (especially for the Soldier's comedy)!!
Now I'mma recommend watching LazyPurple's "How It Feels To Play TF2" series so you can have a better understanding of the game itself (assuming you're still interested in that).
I think I'll make my way around to many recommendations over time.
Safe move👍
@@chelzorthedestroyer you should also watch Turbulence sometime
2:07 when you're looking at it from 5km away it can be quite effective
Honestly, with the kind of life he's probably lived as a ladykiller secret agent person, I actually wouldn't be surprised if Spy's "I think it's going pretty well" comment was sincere. Like I'd believe that he's had crazier dates.
(As a side note, I second the recommendation you've already been getting in other comments about checking out fandubs of the official webcomic, specifically the Mann Co. No More storyline that starts with Ring of Fired. However, I also recommend that you read or watch a fandub of the Catch-Up Comic first so you can get up to speed with the most important parts of the plot.)
This is a bucket
Dear god...
Dear God...
@aDryBonesProduction No...
There are a lot of Deer God worshipers in chat.
@@jimboreee It contains a bucket
In fairness the chicken line worked for him before
Ice cream does seduce me
We need more tf2 content!! I'll watch it all!!
Lets hop this video does well. The first one did amazing!
1:54 - Paused video - Before you say anything Chelzor, when you drive a car it is NOT EZ to spot fake boundaries such as this cloth.
I still say you should watch overwatch vs tf2 but explained with food, it does a great job of showing you how the tf2 braincell works. Also, videos by Lazypurple and Soundsmith are also good options for a bingewatch on stream, as well as Solarlight's highlight videos.
I'll have to see what I go to next.
@chelzorthedestroyer explained with food is a one off video so that's just something you can watch anytime, but the others are series, so might wanna wait for a good opportunity for those.
Now we need a team fabulous 2 reaction! One of the greatest TF2 community videos ever
“Mozzarella sticks!” 🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Some one made a sound mod, that replaces the "Medic" lines of spy to "Seduce me"
lol nice
I wonder if she'll check out other tf2 fan related stuff like
Emesis Blue, team neighborhood or team fabulous 2
I like both series honestly. This series is meant to be hilarious together.
Chelzor has no rizz confirmed ✅
What, treats don't count as rizz? man.
@@chelzorthedestroyer if it did, i would be the rizzler
5:50 one of the best Memes this SFM Animation gave us ❤ ❤
“ I TELEPORTED BREAD “
“What?”
I've been doing nothing but teleporting bread
@@chelzorthedestroyer for three days!
@@SonicXD001"Where have you been sending it?!"
Chelzor : i dont believe your above human experimention .
Me : oh you have no idea the crazy experiments he's done lol .
0:52: Which is a shame. When I was little my dad put me in the car and drove around for 5-10 minutes and I always fell asleep. When I'm not driving it's still like that. At the very least I get very relaxed. It's like an oversized massage chair to me...
One thing that for sure someone has already pointed out is that it is very likely that Spy decided to help Scout because in the comics it is implied that Spy is Scout's biological father but scout doesn't know while Spy does, so it's a very sweet moment if you think this is some way of father-son bonding on what each other thought was their last days alive.
