The thing about emesis blue is that it makes you realize how terrifying respawn would be in real life. Especially when respawn works due to machinery and machinery can have malfunctions.
@@HB-fq9nn better but this try's to have a mostly cohesive story around which you can still speculate on what happened. Hoovydundy is primarily meant to scare you as far as I remember?
All tools can fail. People can fail. Machines aren't special in that regard. I wouldn't be too scared of malfunctioning machinery as long as it's properly maintained.
@@jusdon7522 I think hoovy was a unknown entity that came out wrong, in other places or theory that the creation could be. IRL, that could happen to someone, that died and came into spawn, only to be different if brought back. But if you had a theory, respawn won't, not only bring you back, but can change a whole lot, since that scene shows the details and downloads that are in a person.
44:03 You'd be surprised. My grandfather took a shotgun blast to the face and survived. An entire hemisphere of his brain died, but the other half worked over time and compensated. Baffled the heck out of the medical fellas. Grandpa survived for decades, walking around, talking, slapping idiots upside the head, freaking people out with his fake eye trick. He did eventually die due to a combination of age, high blood pressure, heart disease, and some other stuff. In real life, headshots aren't always fatal, even if it is one in a million to survive.
I just noticed something interesting. At the funeral, Blutarch Mann says he met Jules Archibald after the 1960 election, that was the one where Kennedy was elected. Blutarch said he asked Archibald “how are we going to deal with the son of a bitch” in relation to the election. At 1:05:30 or so, when Archibald is on the phone with Blutarch he tells him, “we last spoke in Dallas,” which is the city where Kennedy was killed.
One little mentioned fact is the difference between medications; Valium treats hallucinations but the Emesis Diazepam is a form of sleep medication with all the common symptoms of Schizophrenia as side effects. All characters prescribed and taking Valium Diazepam to treat hallucinations and bad side effects (usually caused by the respawn process) had actually been taking Emesis Diazepam, which causes (and in their case strengthened and worsened) hallucinations. Medic was even prone to passing out from taking the medication, given a side effect was bouts of drowsiness. Archibald was the only one to consider that his Valium could possibly be Emesis, which made a massive difference and caused problems for all people taking the medication.
I did some research on the prescriptions Ludwig provided to Scout, along with what it actually was. Valium and Diazepam. Both are the same medication used to treat anxiety, stress, things like that. However, that changes when you look up Emesis. Which is an actual word meaning vomiting. I was a bit stuck on this for a moment but I went deeper. Vomiting (and more specifically nausea), is commonly known to be caused by stress, and anxiety. I also realized that throughout the film Ludwig is shown signs of Amnesia, specifically Dissociative Amnesia, in simpler terms: you forget about important events, but not regular day things. Basically, Ludwig seems to have this, and normally this is caused from a traumatic event (this whole plot should be enough for that). And get this, people with strong dissociative amnesia tend to have suicidal and self destructive traits, EXACTLY what we see Ludwig do.
Fun fact: the face of the Pyro at 58:04 was made using the burnt corpse model from Half Life 2. Bonus not-so-fun fact: Valve used images of a real dead body for that model's textures.
So, that movie that Scout pinched from Medic at the beginning is actually pretty significant. M is a 1931 crime thriller by the German expressionist director Fritz Lang, who also directed Metropolis, a landmark epic science fiction film from the silent era, often sighted as a prototype to the cyberpunk genre. M is pitch black drama about the village-wide manhunt for a child abducting serial killer. It's significant for a number of reasons. It was Lang's first sound picture and was the breakout role Peter Lorre, who would go on to have a storied career in Hollywood. More significantly, it's innovative presentation, dramatic atmosphere, and focus on forensic investigation was a sighted influence on early noir films and procedural dramas. So, like this films a big deal and has been on my bucket list for a while. Not every every filmmaker can be credited for inspiring an entire genre, and here's a guy who inspired at least two!
The killer in that movie would whistle the Hall of the Mountain King melody before every kill. Just like the pyro did in the scene with scout's mom. Also - and I didn't notice this until watching this reaction vid - Archibald in the bathroom at the end.
A reference to M you might have not caught is that Pyro burned an M on Medic's cheek. In the movie M, the reason why it's called that is that, when the killer was caught, he was marked by chalking an M on their hand and putting it on his back, letting everyone know who it is
@@intotheindie8821 Nice, I didn't know that. I guess it confirms that Ludwig feels responsible for the deaths and respawns of his former colleagues, or it could be hinting that he used to have the sadistic streak of the TF2 Medic we know and love, and now regrets all the people he killed for fun
@@acepirosu5871 Or simply the fact that he was pinned as the culprit at the end. Pinning the M killings on Medic by marking him as the murderer by the most likely culprit

About the two faucet thing, in early plumbing (I think it was in Victorian England but I'm terrible with dates so don't hold me to it) they had seperate pipes and water tanks for hot and cold water. To stop the two crossing, they had separate faucets. These days it's not so popular, but older houses will still have it.

its was scout. at the start medic saw scout reflection through the monitor right before the machine boot up. and there was no way to medic bring back scout's mom with the respawn machine since as you already stated, shes not on the list. the corruption of the files by the overuse + the bad luck of medic hitting the 1% chance of malfunction could explain why this respawn of scout failed so bad, so he turned into an sentient soup of organs, muscles and nerves that could only scream while agonizing with pain, right before die again. also in the next scene we can see scout's baseball rolls over, and everytime it appeared its was to indicate his presence.
fun fact: did you remember when scout said "if someone hits you hit back twica as hard" spy shot medic 1 time and medic shot him 2 times (at the funeral)
IT'S HERE, HALLELUJAH! There are MASSIVE amounts of theories to this film, so don't be surprised if comments below say their own thoughts and guessed about the movie.

This showed the darkside of Multiplayer, respawning. Being brought back to life multiple times to only fight and die again would be a nightmare. At least Destiny gave a reason (in my opinion); "I died, but have the Light, I have my Ghost, and the other Guardians to revive me." Multiplayer games (typically) lets you respawn as a way to keep the fight going on until whichever team wins. Single player games allows you to reload because you failed. You have to win in the end, I think that's why checkpoints exist. If its both Single and Multi? You learn the gameplay and story in "Campaign/Single", then fight others who know the same stuff in "Multiplayer".
Can't wait to see your reaction to this. Rn I'm busy. But I'll watch it later Edit 1: Can agree with that, TSU is really good. Edit 2: I love the faces we see at 14:27 hahaha
Diazepam is a sedative which calms people with anxiety, but if you take an extreme dose you can fall into a very deep sleep or be in a coma I loved the detail that the doctor took more than necessary and well, fell into a coma, that's why it crashed
So I didn’t see a comment about this and wanted to highlight something that is thematically important to Emesis Blue, which is the movie “M.” It’s an old German film, following a serial killer who targets kids and a gang of criminals who seeks to kill him. While there are other movie and literary references in Emesis Blue, M leaves a major mark by means of two pieces; the whistled tune of “In the Hall of the Mountain King” and the letter M being left on walls, or later burned as a mark onto Medic’s face. If you have any questions, I may actually be in a position where I have enough information and a formable theory to answer them.

Here’s a bit of a lore dump: 1. The intro was showing us the fate of the Tenth class, who ended up going insane from constantly respawning and killed himself. 2. The black team members were other mercs who were affected by the respawn machine, but they all were essentially black ops people covering the tracks of Mann Co.’s many human rights violations. 3. Jules Archibald was directly funding the respawn machine, but ended up getting targeted by the witch doctor medic and had to go into hiding. He faked getting kidnapped by the black ops team to save himself from prosecution as he was running from governor and was ridding as much evidence his project as possible. 4. Medic is bipolar, switching between an actual doctor to the absolute psychopath we all know and love. 5. Soldier was one of the few true successes of the program as his mind was the most stable. He never needed to take the drugs.
1:01:32 he’s seeing the dead body of the original blue soldier who was used in the testing of the respawning machine and was one of the 9 successful test subjects out of the 800,000 (basically seeing the dead original version of himself) who was shot in that one photo on the round table
If I'm not mistaking The chapter 7 "Katabasis " mean a descent into hell in ancient greek . "Kata" mean "down" , the connotation is both metaphorically and litteral ( you can find it for example in "catastrophe " wich is the french word for disaster ) and basis mean the base , the center of earth in others words : hell .
I only found this video a few weeks ago myself, so I'm a bit late to the party. In Jules Archibald's presentation about respawn compatibility, he mention that there were 10 mercenaries, but TF2 has 9 character classes. So, who was the tenth class? There was what looked like a really old version of Soldier in that dungeon where Soldier found Jules, but not sure who it was.
The credits song was "Silent Night". I'll admit that I only had the motivation to watch the original because you put out a reaction to it. Obviously, came right back to watch yours after seeing the quality and haunting atmosphere of the original. I like the religious tones in this and rather wanted Fortress to press it further after Soldier makes the rocket jump. The diversion to the 'fun'eral was unexpected and a bit of a let down, as well as leaving the inclination that a drug was responsible for everything we saw. Everything Soldier saw was the truth because he said that he doesn't use the pills, so... explain a lot of that underground bs. The idea that the "Respawn Machine" is a product of infernal science is just an awesome concept and chilling in execution.
The side effects of the medicine are bogus, schizophrenia is a side effect of the respawn machine, the diazepam is to lessen those symptoms, so ironically, Soldier is probably affected the most out of our protagonists.
I don't know if anyone found this out yet, but I did some research on the prescriptions Ludwig provided to Scout, along with what it actually was. Valium and Diazepam. Both are the same medication used to treat anxiety, stress, things like that. However, that changes when you look up Emesis. Which is an actual word meaning vomiting.

And get this, people with strong dissociative amnesia tend to have suicidal and self destructive traits, EXACTLY what we see Ludwig do.
@Augment_Failure I just wanted to explain how the pills work, however I am still lost on how soldier can see these past/future events, the only thing I can think of is that soldier is a clone who wasn't defected. I also was going to tell you what I think happened but I am still trying to decipher that myself
A heavy inspiration was the short story by stephen king, Jaunt. It follows the idea of a future civilization, where teleportation has become as mundane as a car. When they had first tested it, they used rats. All the rats who were awake died. The ones who were sleeping went through just fine. Then, they tested it on people. Sleeping ones were just fine. Then, one man who was awake. When he exited the machine, his hair was white, and he looked older. Not physically, he had no wrinkles and looked the same age. But...he was...well, jaunt. He said one thing before collapsing and dying: "It's eternity in there." Years later, one of the scientists and his family are going on vacation. He told his children what happened, and when they were putting the family to sleep, the son held his breath. When they were done, the son had the same white hair, and was laughing and clawing his eyes out. This is what he said: "Longer than you think, Dad. Longer than you think! Held my breath when they gave me the gas! Wanted to see! I saw! I saw! Longer than you think Longer than you think, Dad! I saw! I saw! Long Jaunt! Longer than you think-" He said other things. But the attendants wheeled him away. And, at that point, the family was screaming themselves.
Very very not fun fact about the Pyro’s design, I’ll warn you now you might not want to know The texture used for the face is from Half Life, and it uses an actual picture of a corpse of a real burn victim from a medical textbook
So, the funny thing about this is that years ago, like before valve released SFM to the public, before the comics or most official story developments were ever released levels of old video with a similar premise. It was a Garry's mod short deconstructing of video game respawns by providing an explanation for them and showing the disturbing implications of such a device. Unfortunately, I can't recommend it for a reaction because I sadly suspect it's now lost media. It isn't in my favorites Playlist, can't find it anywhere, and I don't remember the channel's name. It doesn't help that the video admittedly had a pretty generic title, I think it was "TF2 Origins" which would mean literally anything to a search engine. The plot was the Blue Spy sneaking into Red Base and finding a secret laboratory where the team was being cloned on mass. Then, after being caught and killed by the engineer, the spy in the stasis pod awoke. The implication is that the merchs aren't real people but are some sort of sentient lab grown beings whose consciousness transfers the next, totally disposable body after dying, and that the whole war is a charade being run by red team, somehow.
"i'm currenly home alone but i have guns" 😂 One thing i noticed is that the sniper probably pulled the trigger of, revolvers usually have a trigger that you need to pull of Before shotting other wise It won't shot even If It has bullets on.
Im pleasantly surpsised this was posted. Anyway this film wouldnt have worked half as good if it didnt have love of lore and filmmaking behind it. The characters felt like team fortress characters not just skinwalkers of them , they ated like them wich is perfect.
You very much so can live for seconds after being shot in the head, depending entirely where the bullet ends up. You'd be surprised how many people get shot in the head and almost fully recover.
Fun fact: when watching RUclips on console app and controller does that fast forward shit because one of the shoulder triggers where held down just press "o" on playstation consoles and "b" on Xbox consoles, it cancels the fast forwarding and just resumes the video where the Fast forwarding started
At the part where Medic/Ludwig shots spy in the funeral, he shots him twice after spy shot him once, alluding back to scout/Jeremy say "If they ever hit you, you hit them twice as hard you hear me?"
0:05 Very inspiring. These set of words allowed me to get the confidence in myself needed to go "OUTSIDE" and touch some "GRASS". Thank you the duckgoesmoo. For your words of inspiration. This made me so happy to see and it was so heartwhelming as well.
There is a theory that everything that happened was all a dream. How so Emesis Diazepam has side effects like paranoia and they are meant to make the patient sleep. Because of this, you can understand why the medic did not die. When he was already at the institution Dell's he was already waking up, and took more pills, which leads him to see himself as dead. And the audience is shown what in briefcase, namely, nothing. So it was all because of the pills. And it's all right
At the end, you could hear the scout, which indicates that he is alive and it was the paranoia and fantasy of the physician. Such a fantasy of a physician looks very plausible because he saw a lot of things, as the saying goes "The less you know the more you sleep"

Longer than you think comes from the Stephen King short story The Jaunt.
at 19:16 the thing scout wanted to say was "why did you kill her" (im not sure but i heard this somewhere)
I hear;
“You bastard! Why’d you do it/this? I’m gonna kill/get you!”
The "I'm home alone.. But I have guns." Got me XD
This showed the darkside of Multiplayer, respawning. Being brought back to life multiple times to only fight and die again would be a nightmare.
At least Destiny gave a reason (in my opinion); "I died, but have the Light, I have my Ghost, and the other Guardians to revive me."
Multiplayer games (typically) lets you respawn as a way to keep the fight going on until whichever team wins.
Single player games allows you to reload because you failed. You have to win in the end, I think that's why checkpoints exist.
If its both Single and Multi? You learn the gameplay and story in "Campaign/Single", then fight others who know the same stuff in "Multiplayer".
25:55 Well, that's actual name of that german horror movie, that Scout stol, just "M". Maybe there they put "M" - for Medic.
when pryo puts his hand on the medic's face he marks him with an M.
M is an actual movie, I believe
Can't wait to see your reaction to this. Rn I'm busy. But I'll watch it later
Edit 1: Can agree with that, TSU is really good.
Edit 2: I love the faces we see at 14:27 hahaha

Diazepam is a sedative which calms people with anxiety, but if you take an extreme dose you can fall into a very deep sleep or be in a coma
I loved the detail that the doctor took more than necessary and well, fell into a coma, that's why it crashed
I love your energy in this video
1:18:48 Rewatching a part in this video feels.. fitting.. honestly it makes the movie feel longer than we think it should be.
One more scary thing.
Scout's nerves regenerated in the Respawn machine. Ergo, he could feel himself disintegrating into mush.
M was an old German murder mystery horror movie that was made in 1931.
This movie is incredible. The reaction was great! Sorry it turned out scarier than you expected, but i believe its worth it.
So I didn’t see a comment about this and wanted to highlight something that is thematically important to Emesis Blue, which is the movie “M.” It’s an old German film, following a serial killer who targets kids and a gang of criminals who seeks to kill him.
While there are other movie and literary references in Emesis Blue, M leaves a major mark by means of two pieces; the whistled tune of “In the Hall of the Mountain King” and the letter M being left on walls, or later burned as a mark onto Medic’s face.
If you have any questions, I may actually be in a position where I have enough information and a formable theory to answer them.

@@Blahwoof85 damn, that childhood trauma be hitting hard
Here’s a bit of a lore dump:
1. The intro was showing us the fate of the Tenth class, who ended up going insane from constantly respawning and killed himself.
2. The black team members were other mercs who were affected by the respawn machine, but they all were essentially black ops people covering the tracks of Mann Co.’s many human rights violations.
3. Jules Archibald was directly funding the respawn machine, but ended up getting targeted by the witch doctor medic and had to go into hiding. He faked getting kidnapped by the black ops team to save himself from prosecution as he was running from governor and was ridding as much evidence his project as possible.
4. Medic is bipolar, switching between an actual doctor to the absolute psychopath we all know and love.
5. Soldier was one of the few true successes of the program as his mind was the most stable. He never needed to take the drugs.
1:01:32 he’s seeing the dead body of the original blue soldier who was used in the testing of the respawning machine and was one of the 9 successful test subjects out of the 800,000 (basically seeing the dead original version of himself) who was shot in that one photo on the round table
Thanks. I just watched the film for myself and that was one of the few things I didn't understand.
If I'm not mistaking The chapter 7 "Katabasis " mean a descent into hell in ancient greek . "Kata" mean "down" , the connotation is both metaphorically and litteral ( you can find it for example in "catastrophe " wich is the french word for disaster ) and basis mean the base , the center of earth in others words : hell .
" Medical!? I would like to NOT go in there.. I can't afford to go in there, because America." HAHA
15:53 I belive, that in right hands, with lot of work, EVERYTHING can be scary as fuck.
I only found this video a few weeks ago myself, so I'm a bit late to the party. In Jules Archibald's presentation about respawn compatibility, he mention that there were 10 mercenaries, but TF2 has 9 character classes. So, who was the tenth class? There was what looked like a really old version of Soldier in that dungeon where Soldier found Jules, but not sure who it was.
least stressful 2fort match
"is the pawn a listening device?" Brilliant
The credits song was "Silent Night". I'll admit that I only had the motivation to watch the original because you put out a reaction to it. Obviously, came right back to watch yours after seeing the quality and haunting atmosphere of the original. I like the religious tones in this and rather wanted Fortress to press it further after Soldier makes the rocket jump. The diversion to the 'fun'eral was unexpected and a bit of a let down, as well as leaving the inclination that a drug was responsible for everything we saw. Everything Soldier saw was the truth because he said that he doesn't use the pills, so... explain a lot of that underground bs. The idea that the "Respawn Machine" is a product of infernal science is just an awesome concept and chilling in execution.
The side effects of the medicine are bogus, schizophrenia is a side effect of the respawn machine, the diazepam is to lessen those symptoms, so ironically, Soldier is probably affected the most out of our protagonists.
I don't know if anyone found this out yet, but I did some research on the prescriptions Ludwig provided to Scout, along with what it actually was. Valium and Diazepam. Both are the same medication used to treat anxiety, stress, things like that. However, that changes when you look up Emesis. Which is an actual word meaning vomiting. I was a bit stuck on this for a moment but I went deeper. Vomiting (and more specifically nausea), is commonly known to be caused by stress, and anxiety. I also realized that throughout the film Ludwig is shown signs of Amnesia, specifically Dissociative Amnesia, in simpler terms: you forget about important events, but not regular day things. For example, you could still remember when you went to the store, but you wouldn't remember the meeting you went to afterwards to help save the company you work at. Basically, Ludwig seems to have this, and normally this is caused from a traumatic event (this whole plot should be enough for that). And get this, people with strong dissociative amnesia tend to have suicidal and self destructive traits, EXACTLY what we see Ludwig do.
@@complex2live Interesting, though I'm lost on your reply. What is it your trying to examine?
@Augment_Failure I just wanted to explain how the pills work, however I am still lost on how soldier can see these past/future events, the only thing I can think of is that soldier is a clone who wasn't defected. I also was going to tell you what I think happened but I am still trying to decipher that myself
@@complex2live Good luck! :) EB is a smorgasbord of references.
A heavy inspiration was the short story by stephen king, Jaunt. It follows the idea of a future civilization, where teleportation has become as mundane as a car. When they had first tested it, they used rats. All the rats who were awake died. The ones who were sleeping went through just fine. Then, they tested it on people. Sleeping ones were just fine. Then, one man who was awake. When he exited the machine, his hair was white, and he looked older. Not physically, he had no wrinkles and looked the same age. But...he was...well, jaunt. He said one thing before collapsing and dying:
"It's eternity in there."
Years later, one of the scientists and his family are going on vacation. He told his children what happened, and when they were putting the family to sleep, the son held his breath. When they were done, the son had the same white hair, and was laughing and clawing his eyes out. This is what he said:
"Longer than you think, Dad. Longer than you think! Held my breath when they gave me the gas! Wanted to see! I saw! I saw! Longer than you think Longer than you think, Dad! I saw! I saw! Long Jaunt! Longer than you think-"
He said other things. But the attendants wheeled him away. And, at that point, the family was screaming themselves.
You would be shocked and horrified at the things that don't instantly kill you
I can’t believe this whole movie is free to watch on youtube
Very very not fun fact about the Pyro’s design, I’ll warn you now you might not want to know
The texture used for the face is from Half Life, and it uses an actual picture of a corpse of a real burn victim from a medical textbook
1:24:25 Years. They spend years on this.
So, the funny thing about this is that years ago, like before valve released SFM to the public, before the comics or most official story developments were ever released levels of old video with a similar premise.
It was a Garry's mod short deconstructing of video game respawns by providing an explanation for them and showing the disturbing implications of such a device. Unfortunately, I can't recommend it for a reaction because I sadly suspect it's now lost media. It isn't in my favorites Playlist, can't find it anywhere, and I don't remember the channel's name. It doesn't help that the video admittedly had a pretty generic title, I think it was "TF2 Origins" which would mean literally anything to a search engine.
The plot was the Blue Spy sneaking into Red Base and finding a secret laboratory where the team was being cloned on mass. Then, after being caught and killed by the engineer, the spy in the stasis pod awoke. The implication is that the merchs aren't real people but are some sort of sentient lab grown beings whose consciousness transfers the next, totally disposable body after dying, and that the whole war is a charade being run by red team, somehow.
58:02 bro got so scared he started to sing!
I find it kinda endearing that scout seemed to care about his mom
"i'm currenly home alone but i have guns" 😂
One thing i noticed is that the sniper probably pulled the trigger of, revolvers usually have a trigger that you need to pull of Before shotting other wise It won't shot even If It has bullets on.
the funniest part is that they made "spy's disguise"
He finally fucking did it
Im pleasantly surpsised this was posted.
Anyway this film wouldnt have worked half as good if it didnt have love of lore and filmmaking behind it. The characters felt like team fortress characters not just skinwalkers of them , they ated like them wich is perfect.
You very much so can live for seconds after being shot in the head, depending entirely where the bullet ends up. You'd be surprised how many people get shot in the head and almost fully recover.
44:21, I see I'm not the only one cursed with the Knowledge of 'Those' types of videos.
I may not comment every video and i hope im still remembered but it was so cool watching you grow. Keep it up friend
Fun fact: when watching RUclips on console app and controller does that fast forward shit because one of the shoulder triggers where held down just press "o" on playstation consoles and "b" on Xbox consoles, it cancels the fast forwarding and just resumes the video where the Fast forwarding started
5:14 to answer your question, its one of the creators playing him
I find it ironic that soldier is the only sane one in this movie.
At the part where Medic/Ludwig shots spy in the funeral, he shots him twice after spy shot him once, alluding back to scout/Jeremy say "If they ever hit you, you hit them twice as hard you hear me?"
"pyro with the mask"
so a pyro?
0:05 Very inspiring. These set of words allowed me to get the confidence in myself needed to go "OUTSIDE" and touch some "GRASS". Thank you the duckgoesmoo. For your words of inspiration. This made me so happy to see and it was so heartwhelming as well.
YES YES YES, THANK YOU, U DON'T KNOW HAVE LONG I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR IT.
Longer than you think
they have nice detaile revolves don't drop empty cells after use
The song at the end is silent night
That " B A R" sign actually said "LABORATORY"
There is a theory that everything that happened was all a dream. How so Emesis Diazepam has side effects like paranoia and they are meant to make the patient sleep. Because of this, you can understand why the medic did not die. When he was already at the institution Dell's he was already waking up, and took more pills, which leads him to see himself as dead. And the audience is shown what in briefcase, namely, nothing. So it was all because of the pills. And it's all right
At the end, you could hear the scout, which indicates that he is alive and it was the paranoia and fantasy of the physician. Such a fantasy of a physician looks very plausible because he saw a lot of things, as the saying goes "The less you know the more you sleep"
@@zeo-nix2875 that end was the afterlife
Head shot depending on hit spot is technically survivable if incredibly rare unlikely and usually debilitating
how did bro forget theres a respawn machine in the bar scene
The whole video is an acid trip horror film.
YES KYLE YOU FINALLY REACTED TO EMESIS BLUE! ITS BEEN SUCH A LONG WAIT FOR ME AND I AM FINALLY FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Hey duck..you ever get the feeling like you're being watched.." also, the credits music is silent night.
I'm so triggered about him calling the medigun a weapon
Why was the WW2 vet seen through out this movie like soldier looking over the hole and seeing him who is this dude
The pyro death is a Michael Myers reference he get shit slot gets set on fire then gets shot in both eyes
58:02 Joaquin Phoenix watching this be like: "He couldn't hold a tune to save his life!"
Also, 1:41:46, "How about another joke, Detective?"
8000 corpses are of people that weren't respawn compatible
My favorite reactor reacting to my favorite sfm????
I think it took five years to make.
46:22 might as well be an incomplete 096 at this point
that bar scene reminded me of the shining movie.

Fun fact: it took about 4 years to make this.
ik u have done dr lalve reactions before but u have to do the truffle shuffle thats been out for a bit now its still mostly the same but even the little bits that were added make it funny as hell
Hopefully it was worth the wait
you look like popular mmos ngl
15:25 What? It's Scout's mother.
Oh this is gonna be fun.
I thought scouts mom's head was a mask so it didn't scare me that much
1:37:11 is giving me the most radioactive man vibes
its the way spy's limbs are hanging
This is the third time i've watched this movie, and i'm finaly getting somethings
1:40:23 Soldier, actually.
Me looking for a youtuber that doesn’t call the heavy X:
Since I don’t think I’ve seen any comments on it, I think this took about 3 years to make.
