Fun fact: When Demoman is censored, he isn't swearing, he's talking about the Loch Ness Monster, and the world governments don't want that info released.
14:48 Fun fact, Medic is perfectly capable of regrowing Demo's missing eye, but he doesn't because every time he does, on Halloween, it comes out of Demo's eye socket and turns into a giant floating eyeball monster that the team has had to fight three times already (Demo's eye socket got cursed when he was young cause he opened the Bombinomicon (sentient talking bomb necronomicon) while doing a housecleaning job for the evil wizard Merasmus, who is Soldier's roommate for a portion of the comics) (and yes, you can fight it in game). Honestly, just listen to somebody narrating the comics, they're so wacky and funny. Another fun fact: Meet the Sandvich was made because during auditions, the now-official voice actors for Scout, Soldier, and Heavy decided to do this little improv skit together, which eventually was turned into the animation. P.S. RIP Rick May, voice actor for Soldier. May you rocket jump amongst the heavens.
They fought a giant demo eye, a Dracula demo eye, a brain-in-a-jar demo eye, a knife wielding ventriloquist dummy demo eye. One year... it went back in time and tried to become all the Merc's parents.
The scout one is not meant to be seen first. It's supposed to catch you off guard when he steps on front of the title card, because non of the others do that
Here are some of my favorite details from the "Meet the Mercs" videos: -In "Meet the Scout," after Scout taps the camera, there is a noticeable fingerprint smudge on the lenses the rest of the video. -In the merc lineup at the end of "Meet the Pyro," Engineer (who is standing next to Pyro) isn't smiling. This is the only time in the series he does so. -Heavy actually has a PhD in Russian Literature, and thus, his quote about outsmarting bullets has a double meaning. Not only is he saying that calling him stupid does no good when you're getting shot at, there is also an old Russian saying that goes "On the battlefield, the Bullet is the dumbest." In other words, he's calling everyone in TF2 "Dumber than a bullet." -In addition to the Mega Baboon heart and the still-living Spy Head, the other things in Medic's fridge include a Loch Ness Hamster heart, multiple bottles of beer, and a full ashtray. -In "Meet the Sniper," there are several shots where Sniper has a bruise on his thumbnail. This is called a "Garand Thumb"; an injury that occurs when the thumb gets pinched in the action of a M1 Garand while reloading. -Red Spy finishes Blue Spy's quote in "Meet the Spy." In full, it goes "He could be you. He could be me. He could even be right behind you..."
Fun fact: The Sandvich video was entirely adlibbed by the voice actors in what I presume to believe a very long day of recording. Also, RIP Rick Mays. Most of the cast outside of the Scout's VA is either retired or retired from the TF2 cast. Salutations from the pre-NCR Kitt!
It's not so clear that they're retired so much as nothing has happened with the game for a while that needs voice work. The Scout's VA is the exception more so in that he does a lot of fan stuff
Fun Fact: Sniper took kidney enlargement pills from Mann Co, tripling the size of his kidneys, but resulting in his organs to fail, so he takes pain relief meds from Mann Co so that he cannot feel his organs shutting down
interesting fact: the heavy is possibly the most well-adjusted and educated member of the mercs, he just doesn't speak English well; he has three degrees if I recall, one in Russian linguistics/grammar - if you watch the Russian version of Meet the Heavy, you'll notice he's a lot more well-spoken
Heavy actually has a Ph.D. in Russian Literature, but Engineer is by far and away the most educated merc with 11 PH.D.'s under that hard hat. I do think Heavy and Engie are also the most reasonable, but still just as bloodthirsty as the other 7.
@@wingedbluj1674 Heavy - Would sit down with glasses to sip good quality liquor while discussing things with you. Engie, Sniper - Would totally relax and have a beer with you. would likely pick good quality beer Demoman - would drink heavily with you, but not much else. Likely most knowledgeable liquor wise Spy - would drink solely fancy expensive stuff regardless of actual quality and ignore you, then kill you before you leave. Soldier - Absolutely nothing but american brand light beers and talking about America. Can only be directed to topics regarding America Scout - lightweight, mixes his sodas into beers to offset this. Will begin to cry once drunk as his god complex disappears, confessing his self viewed inadequacies. Medic - Will drug your beer. You wake up with a new bladder and kidneys from an animal. Surprisingly they work better than before. Pyro - light the booze on fire, watch it burn as you realize you wasted forty bucks on this.
It takes almost 20 years to earn as many degrees as the Engie has, assuming you start with stellar grades and make full use of transferring credits. Heavy doesn’t even come close.
Engineer has like 10, hard and theoretical science PHD's. Apparently 5 of which are honorary (he literally didnt even go to school for them, the schools just GAVE them to him) but I couldn't find any information for the latter part. But he DOES canonically have a shit ton of PHD's in science
The heavy is, yes really well educated but I think it would be engineer first, then medic and then finally maybe heavy, then in the bottom probably soldier and scout
maybe somebody knows this, but in meet the spy red spy continues blu spy's sentence. "he could be you, he could be me, he could even be.. right behind you"
i always thought of it as the red spy sarcastically saying that after the soldier says "who's ready to go find this spy", but that is a cool way of taking it too
little details from these got added to the game from Meet the Spy, Sniper got that slice on his cheek. His model was updated to include a scar there. from Meet the Medic, Archimedes being accidentally sown in Scout. Now whenever you gib a scout in game (deal at least 10 overkill damage with an explosive), there's a 1% chance a dove will come flying out Meet the Pyro, they added the pyrovision goggles. wearing those causes the game to take on a state like he saw in his video. Little things like that
@@the05council61 Demoman actually lost his eye because when he was a child, he messed with the bombinomicon (a magic book) that cursed his eye socket. So, now every Halloween, his eye (if it's in the socket) turns into a giant Monoculus. Medic has the ability to heal his eye back, but if he did, it would terrorize the team as a giant eyeball during Halloween.
@@Goaty_1 To add to that, monoculus isn't the only version of demo's eye. Medic has said that they fought a Giant (which probably is Monoculus), a Dracula, a Brain-In-A jar, a Knife-weilding ventriloquist dummy, and a time traveling (that tried to become their parents) version of demo's cursed eye
@@the05council61 you are wrong.. even watch the video again, he already has an eye patch on. Even I saw that.. I go. 'damn now he's blind in both eyes.."
@@Vaguer_Weevil Oh um, his origin is an easter egg rather than a hint of future content. It comes from the original meet the medic ruclips.net/video/LJtpnsYdEKA/видео.html&ab_channel=RobinAtkinDownes. However I cannot find the true original so here is a kinda remake of it. Hope this helps.
13:16 The story behind the Spy head in Medic’s fridge is a reference to the outtakes version of Meet the Medic, which showed how medic came to invent his medigun.
1.Engie-easily the most educated. Genius in his field and pretty much everything else. 2.Medic-Genius in hid field, but completely insane. 3.Suprisingly, Heavy. Doctorate in Russian literature. 4.Again suprisingly, Demoman. He is just drunk all the time. When sober, shows a suprising ammount of knowledge. To create those explosives, you must be skilled in certain ammount of chemistry. 5.Come on, it was obvius. It was the red spy. 6.Sniper. Could be switched with spy. 7.Scout. He is pretty selfcentered, deluded and stupid. 8.Complete tie betweeen pyro and soldier. Pyro more demented and Soldier more stupid. 9.Sandwiches dont think and often get eaten.
Fun Fact in regards to Voice Acting : A few of the early videos (notably Scout, Heavy, Engineer, Sniper, Soldier) are taken straight from the dialog written for the voice auditions used to find the voice actors for each of the characters. This is why many of the videos are so great at capturing each of the character's personalities.
Fun fact: A Heavy who does nothing but eat their Sandvich and give it to people for healing is called a Hoovy. The also usually only have Sasha as their primary and the knockout gloves as their secondary.
You can really tell the difference between the videos that were made early on vs the ones that were made later. Like Heavy was the first one and it's the most simple by far. Spy, Medic and Pyro were the last and they're the most elaborate.
Fun Fact: A BLU team Soldier dies in every "meet the" video Scout: Run over by the train before the title card Soldier: Where do you think he got those BLU helmets? Pyro: Killed by the exploding dispenser busting a hole through his chest. Demoman: Blown up with everyone else by the stickytrap at the end. Heavy: At the end when we see the battlefield, he just falls over dead. Engineer: One of the many victims of the sentries. Medic: ...you can't miss it. Sniper: Near the end when we get a POV through the scope. Spy: Yeah, he died from the backstabbing. Sandvich: You can hear Heavy rip out his spine.
Indeed I wanted them in release order.. that makes it more epic. I lived through their release, was in college during that time and just loved when each one was uploaded.
Well originally it was in different order, with last two being medic and pyro, so you knew who were others up to that point. and Heavy being first that's why his is so basic.
There's also a comic book series that gives a whole heaping chunk of background to them all, who they work for, why they're fighting each other like that, etc. There are also several longer *official* videos (right here on RUclips) to bee seen, such as "Expiration Date," "Mann vs. Machine," "End of the Line," & others. Also quite a few fan-made videos in which mostly stick to official canon background or talking about gameplay. In the Medic's video, you asked about the story behind the guy's head in the refrigerator? That was the Spy. How he got there is shown in the Outtakes version of the first Meet The Medic video before they changed it all into what you see here. Right here on RUclips are a few different Outtakes videos & you can use "tf2, outtakes" in the Search Bar to find all of them. The quickest way to describe those events is to send you where you can see them for yourself. At the end of the Medic's vid, we see how the bird Archimedes got sealed up inside of the Scout...When you're actually playing the game online co-op & the Scott gets blown to bits, there's a small chance that you can see the bird flying out of the Scott's remains. BTW, it's canon background story that the Spy is the Scott's father. That's why he has those pictures... The Sandvich acts like a Medkit or Healing Potion in other games...Giving a limited boost to health but nothing like what the Medic can do. The Heavy tries to keep some of those on him & he can give a Sandvich to others (or you maybe get Sandvich off his corpse if you manage to kill him).
Fun facts: -During Meet the Spy, he makes a cut on Sniper's cheek. After that trailer, Sniper's in-game model got updated to have that cut on his cheek -Since at the end of Meet the Medic, Archimedes is inside Scout, if you blow him to pieces, there'll be a random chance where a bird will come out and fly away. Also, in the same trailer, Demoman's missing eye doesn't get healed because his eye-socket is cursed. Everytime the Medic tries to heal Demoman's eye, it comes out of Demoman and grows to gigantic sizes, becoming an eyeball monster known as Monoculus, who appears every Halloween to wreak havoc. To avoid that from happening again, the Medic had to scoop a part of Demoman's brain so he wouldn't ask Medic to heal his missing eye again. -The Sandvich is a healing item exclusive to Heavy, but he can drop it for allies to heal themselves -The piss jars in Meet the Sniper are actually an item exclusive to Sniper, called Jarate. Its main function is to make the enemy take more damage, but it can also reveal invisible Spies (since they become all wet) and extinguish burning allies. Scout has a similar item called the Man Milk, but it heals allies
Oh my god, after all this time I only now realize that soldier says “Sun Tzu said that, and I think he knows a little more about fighting”. I always thought it was “Sons who said that” and waved it off as just soldier being insane and imagining the severed heads were talking to him.
Some fun facts: "Meet The Heavy" was the first one made and was somewhat of a trailer for the game, which explains the quality and presentation difference compared to the others. Conversely, the Pyro and Medic ones were the last ones made, so have the highest quality comparatively to most of the others. They are all still great though. "Meet The Sandvich" was improvised by the actors. In "Meet The Medic" it shows him healing demoman, but he still has an eyepatch. This is because demoman's empty eyesocket is cursed and whenever his eye is grown back it becomes Monoculous, which is a villain for halloween events in the game. Now stuff about "Meet the Spy" When "scout" plays with the knife, he holds the safety handle, the one where the sharp part of the blade is faced away from your hand, and pretends to get cut by it. Some other clues early on are that "scout" didn't know the code for the door, and also as blue spy says "did anyone happen to kill a red spy on the way here?" you can see "scout" looking at the body blue spy is carrying to see if his knife is still there. At the beginning with the soldier the board has the combinations "blue scout", "has evil twin", "red spy" right next to each other is another hint of "scout" being the red spy. Other fun combinations include "red pyro", "is a man", "is a woman" as so little is known about the pyro that no one knows if they are even a man or woman. Another is "leaked video" which is a reference to the fact the "Meet The Spy" video was leaked before official release due to a RUclips iPhone bug. It is thought by some that blue spy was about to say "he could even be right behind you" before he was killed, which would suggest he knew "scout" was the red spy, perhaps picking up on the hints mentioned earlier, and was about to say he was the red spy, and everything leading up to that was just for drama. (spoiler for the comics) Red spy dating scout's mother is a hint that he is scout's father.
The reason that the engineer has that glove on his hand, is because he lost that hand in an accident, and he made himself a new hand and attached it to it.
Fun fact: in Meet the Spy the red spy (blue scout) uses the safety side so the blue spy really doesn't know how his own knife works plus scout is a lot smarter than soldier so he should have known the code
He probably knew “scout” faked his injury he just wanted to build up the drama to reveal scout is the blu spy he’s a seductive egotistical french man he loves being dramatic
Heavy's weapon at 150kg weighs 330lbs without ammo... it's a fuggin' mini gun typically mounted on attack Helicopters used in anti ground assaults of troops
Fact about the scout: His real name is Jeremy. But we just don’t know what his last or middle name is. Also a fact about the heavy: he is not fat, he is actually big boned and very strong but very slow due to his size.

What Demoman says when censored is: "They've got more fecken sea-monsters in the great Loch at Ness than they got the likes of me" 🤣😂🤣
I miss Rick May.
Rest in peace, you magnificent man.
She said that she saw a lot of SFM with tf2 characters but every 2 second says she dosent recognise them
Did she got her character surgically removed or what?
According to the comics, Scout kept talking for six hours and the filmmaker ran out of film.
5:50 they removed the back ground music to avoid to get copy right claimed
There's also a comic book series that gives a whole heaping chunk of background to them all, who they work for, why they're fighting each other like that, etc. There are also several longer *official* videos (right here on RUclips) to bee seen, such as "Expiration Date," "Mann vs. Machine," "End of the Line," & others. Also quite a few fan-made videos in which mostly stick to official canon background or talking about gameplay.
In the Medic's video, you asked about the story behind the guy's head in the refrigerator?
That was the Spy. How he got there is shown in the Outtakes version of the first Meet The Medic video before they changed it all into what you see here. Right here on RUclips are a few different Outtakes videos & you can use "tf2, outtakes" in the Search Bar to find all of them. The quickest way to describe those events is to send you where you can see them for yourself. At the end of the Medic's vid, we see how the bird Archimedes got sealed up inside of the Scout...When you're actually playing the game online co-op & the Scott gets blown to bits, there's a small chance that you can see the bird flying out of the Scott's remains.
BTW, it's canon background story that the Spy is the Scott's father. That's why he has those pictures...
The Sandvich acts like a Medkit or Healing Potion in other games...Giving a limited boost to health but nothing like what the Medic can do. The Heavy tries to keep some of those on him & he can give a Sandvich to others (or you maybe get Sandvich off his corpse if you manage to kill him).
Fun facts:
-During Meet the Spy, he makes a cut on Sniper's cheek. After that trailer, Sniper's in-game model got updated to have that cut on his cheek
-Since at the end of Meet the Medic, Archimedes is inside Scout, if you blow him to pieces, there'll be a random chance where a bird will come out and fly away. Also, in the same trailer, Demoman's missing eye doesn't get healed because his eye-socket is cursed. Everytime the Medic tries to heal Demoman's eye, it comes out of Demoman and grows to gigantic sizes, becoming an eyeball monster known as Monoculus, who appears every Halloween to wreak havoc. To avoid that from happening again, the Medic had to scoop a part of Demoman's brain so he wouldn't ask Medic to heal his missing eye again.
-The Sandvich is a healing item exclusive to Heavy, but he can drop it for allies to heal themselves
-The piss jars in Meet the Sniper are actually an item exclusive to Sniper, called Jarate. Its main function is to make the enemy take more damage, but it can also reveal invisible Spies (since they become all wet) and extinguish burning allies. Scout has a similar item called the Man Milk, but it heals allies
Fun fact! In meet the spy, scout “cuts himself” on the blunt side of the butterfly knife, since he’s the spy, he knows exactly how to handle it.
engineer gaming
Dunkle ane gaming
sentry man game fan
Rip Rick may
There is actually a small chance of Archimedes flying out of the Scout in game if he explodes
Oh my god, after all this time I only now realize that soldier says “Sun Tzu said that, and I think he knows a little more about fighting”. I always thought it was “Sons who said that” and waved it off as just soldier being insane and imagining the severed heads were talking to him.
Legit the same way i didnt realized he said sun tzu untill like a year later
Why do you think he says "And from that day forward, any time a bunch of animals are together in one place, it's called a Tzu!"
"Is he (Heavy) OK?
none of them are
I am once again requesting "You (probably) dont exist" by Exurb1a, or, really, almost any video by him would be amazing
"I know this boy", "I don't know this boy", "Wait a minute. I DO know this boy" lmao
"Vere was I?" *Opens fridge* "kill me" "later"
Oh man, this truly ancient setup. What a time!
I'm here and deaf in one ear.
Ah a timeless masterpiece
I like what she called “wake of the pyro” sounds like an sfm
11:55
Reason Engineer was being attacked was because the BLU's were trying to get their intelligence back that filled up the back of his truck.
Heavy is loaded to be able to fire his mini gun all the time
Everyone wtf is Soldier
Her: that's fun
Me: yes yes that's fun
Everyone is demo ok
Her: he is fun
Me: ya i I'm a demo main but no whisky just wine
I came here to see the entirety of Chicago react to meet the team. I have been lied to.
Yeah, she nailed it. Soldier is from the midwest
Some fun facts:
"Meet The Heavy" was the first one made and was somewhat of a trailer for the game, which explains the quality and presentation difference compared to the others. Conversely, the Pyro and Medic ones were the last ones made, so have the highest quality comparatively to most of the others. They are all still great though.
"Meet The Sandvich" was improvised by the actors.
In "Meet The Medic" it shows him healing demoman, but he still has an eyepatch. This is because demoman's empty eyesocket is cursed and whenever his eye is grown back it becomes Monoculous, which is a villain for halloween events in the game.
Now stuff about "Meet the Spy"
When "scout" plays with the knife, he holds the safety handle, the one where the sharp part of the blade is faced away from your hand, and pretends to get cut by it. Some other clues early on are that "scout" didn't know the code for the door, and also as blue spy says "did anyone happen to kill a red spy on the way here?" you can see "scout" looking at the body blue spy is carrying to see if his knife is still there.
At the beginning with the soldier the board has the combinations "blue scout", "has evil twin", "red spy" right next to each other is another hint of "scout" being the red spy.
Other fun combinations include "red pyro", "is a man", "is a woman" as so little is known about the pyro that no one knows if they are even a man or woman. Another is "leaked video" which is a reference to the fact the "Meet The Spy" video was leaked before official release due to a RUclips iPhone bug.
It is thought by some that blue spy was about to say "he could even be right behind you" before he was killed, which would suggest he knew "scout" was the red spy, perhaps picking up on the hints mentioned earlier, and was about to say he was the red spy, and everything leading up to that was just for drama.
(spoiler for the comics) Red spy dating scout's mother is a hint that he is scout's father.
Also why else would blu spy give scout back the butterfly knife
Also in the comics TFC Pyro was a woman so TF2 Pyro could also be a women as well
Also fun fact the meet the merinaries by the comics when the adimister hired a diceritor to film the crew
The reason that the engineer has that glove on his hand, is because he lost that hand in an accident, and he made himself a new hand and attached it to it.
Next up: Expiration Date.
Rick may did have a beautiful evil laugh
Fun fact: in Meet the Spy the red spy (blue scout) uses the safety side so the blue spy really doesn't know how his own knife works plus scout is a lot smarter than soldier so he should have known the code
He probably knew “scout” faked his injury he just wanted to build up the drama to reveal scout is the blu spy he’s a seductive egotistical french man he loves being dramatic
Fun fact: the red spy finishes blues spy sentence "he could even be... right behind you."
Now you gotta watch the TF2 “bread” video!
Either Pyro was super innocent or oblivious or he’s just insane
oh my god that part of meet the pyro without the music is so different
Josh: Is there a limit?
Kelsey: (stares in "Josh who hurt you as a child? Why are you like this?")
I've been waiting for this reaction!
Fun Fact about scout, in the lore he is the 2nd coming of jesus.
19:49 all these years later, that nien still gives me chills
Almost brings a tear to my eye when I watch Meet The Soldier. His voice actor passed away not too long ago.
"What a fun way to "sell" the game"

If you ate a large amount of plutonium, would you become a nuclear reactor?
Soldier Trilogy All hail Rick May The Amazing Voice Actor of The Soldier
3:33 that smile when pyro exploded
Heavy's weapon at 150kg weighs 330lbs without ammo... it's a fuggin' mini gun typically mounted on attack Helicopters used in anti ground assaults of troops
Alright fellow TF2 enthusiasts, we got another one. How soon till Kelsey tries playing a round or two and gets sucked in?
I love how you look like you're about to go to the shooting range 😂
Fun facts medic is criminal when he said that the doctor skeleton was Missing and he lost his medical license
Fun fact and SPOILER
Sniper is actually from New Zealand.
More Sovietwomble vids pls
THough I still love your reactions
imagine the video's location isn't chicago
Fact about the scout: His real name is Jeremy. But we just don’t know what his last or middle name is.
Also a fact about the heavy: he is not fat, he is actually big boned and very strong but very slow due to his size.
Medic is the opposite as we know his last name, Ludwig but not his first
If you think the medic is unhinged now then you should read the comics its 100% worth it
Goodbye soldier's voice actor
wait until she reads the comics
Scout is a speed demon
"POW!!!"
Heavy - 2007 - 2012
When I have a bad day, I watch the Meet the Pyro 20 vid times on loop.
4:01 Train in background, why is it like right after scout, he ran off the train and the train just went to reality or something?
It's called a ZOO (Sun Tzu) lol
