It's finally time for Cameron and Israel to discover the amazing "Meet the Team" shorts from Team Fortress 2, almost 10 years after the last one was published. Israel's already reviewed some of the guns in a previous Total Recoil video, and now he can't wait to get more of this whacky cartoon world. As for Cameron, he has no idea what he's in for.
From 2007's Meet the Heavy to 2012's Meet the Pyro, they're here to check out all nine classes' shorts and find out what the fuss around this game is actually about. Afterward, Cam and Israel spend some time talking about some of their favorite characters, who those characters remind them of in real life, and who they would select for a real-life team.
Let's get to it!

Fun Fact: All of the meet the team interviews were canonically filmed by an in-universe cameraman. The Scout talked for so damn long that the cameraman ran out of film, and even then he only got about a minute of usable footage from him.
After the fact, the cameraman hasn't been seen since his interview. Some say he was dropped into a gravel mine, but considering the local townsfolk I doubt it.
@@dragodx8238 tragic
Wrong, not every Meet The Team was filmed. Meet the Spy, Engineer, Pyro and Medic don't have a camera man like he's in the rest. As for the comics, we don't see him interviewing everyone.
@@damsen978 We do indeed see Sniper getting interviewed. That's where we learn Sniper is called Mr. Mun-dee. Probably not by THIS cameraman, but someone in general.

Right? Like I know they're meant to be reacting to it but they seriously never stop talking
“Some people think they can outsmart me…..maybe” is such a good line when you know heavy has a PhD
And he still doesn't completely shut the possibility down. A wise man knows how much he doesn't know.
I think that the Heavy having a PhD was added to the lore later. It is a great line either way, though.
None of Poker Night at the Inventory is canon. That include's Heavy's PhD in Russian Literature.

R.i.p rick may...

RIP Rick o7 L
Soldier got kicked out of every branch of the military during WW2, though that didn't stop him from buying a plane ticket and flying over to Poland to go on a Nazi killing spree. He taught himself how to fire and reload a variety of different weapons and began his crusade. However, his mission soon ended after learning that the war had ended in 1945, the year at the time was 1949. "One time I killed a man in Germany! After the war! He was asking for directions! I am more proud of this!" -Soldier
Godspeed!
I love how these people haven't heard of the pause button. Literally talked over half of the duration of each and every episode of Meet the team.
FR, it's infuriating, they missed most of the jokes and iconic lines
Felt the same way about the video they just wouldn’t shutup😢😢😂😂
It feels more like you're watching it with friends than if they paused it every 12 seconds. I personally find the ones who pause after every line annoying as hell.
@@randomguyonyoutube4833 then watch the original video 💀
@@aniqnxbil I rewatch them all the time til I stumbled on this
4:20, to be fair Team Fortress 2's history is very weird, New Zealand is an ancient city under water (like Atlantis), Abraham Lincoln invented stairs because everyone kept blowing their legs off trying to rocket jump to the second floor of buildings (he later dies doing the same), Merasmus (an evil wizard that WAS trapped in a castle before the Soldier helped him get out of the castle by destroying the castle with him in it, and who was also roommates with said wizard) even went to become roommates with the Tom Jones, who was then assassinated by Soldier (who broke into his house) and had the murder pinned on Merasmus. Even George Washington was called the inventor of the United States of America and that his major fail was because he couldn't stay invisible (oh right I forgot to mention he invented invisibility through various methods) and that the cloak and dagger was the real invention allowing the user to stay fully invisible. That's why there's a fair chance that what soldier says about Noah, Sun Tzu, and more could be real. Although some of it (like punching through someone, being in the military) is fake. Although it's actually just because Soldier went to Vietnam (by himself later) and then gave himself PTSD by actually just attacking random people.
I knew all this already but still laughed at each and every line
I wonder if he gave himself PTSD by his own stupidity and stubbornness a la being convinced he's fighting a war and everyone on both sides is 'gaslighting him' about there not being a war, those were just civilians not enemy soldiers coming to kill you, etc
It was actually Germany during WW2. He couldn't enlist in the war so he went to Germany and just started killing Germans not knowing that not all Germans were Nazis.
@@SylvaGardenia close- it was actually AFTER WW2 🤣
Surprisingly, Solider never served. Around WW2, Mister _Jane_ Doe (that’s apparently his name) attempted to sign up for every branch of the US Military, but all of them turned him away for mental instability...so he just funded his own excursion to Europe, attacking anyone and everyone he perceived to be a threat to the US, until they actually sent someone, in about 1946, to tell him the war was *over.*
fun fact, the red spy unintentionally finishes the blue spies sentence "He could be you, He could be me, He could EVEN BE....Right behind you."
this is spy, it was all intentional
i watched meet the spy an unhealthy amount of times and just now i realize that
i was todays old when i realized
That was 100% intentionally
To me it doesn't fit to the sentence. But hey it's good
I love how The Medic puts gloves on *after* performing open-chest surgery.
What losing a medical license does to an mf
He _did_ tell his bird it was filthy in there. 😷
Which implys that hes more worried abour holding his gun than going elbow deep in Heavy Also a fun thing. Since Medic also gets immune during uber. It means he put a Mega Baboon heart in his own chest

They literally talked over my favourite joke in meet the sniper while doing a typical American accent about... killing Adolf Hitler? I really didn't get how the joke they were trying to do linked in any way to what they were watching
If I recall correctly, the "Meet the Heavy" video was supposed to be proof/testing of the quality of the Source engine's animating capabilities, especially for faces, hence why it's mostly limited to the interview in a single room. That it *still* holds up so well 15 years later is a testament to the quality and passion of everyone working on it at Valve at the time
Really? Somewhere else I’ve heard that it was Gary Schwarz’ test dialog

TF2 consumed 15 years of my life. One of the greatest FPS games of all time. As of now unfortunately, it's infested with aimbots, hackers, and scammers and Valve doesn't update/support the game anymore. Sad to see it slowly deteriorate during the past two years or so.
The game is old as hell and has had a great life cycle though. I mean, me and my friends played it on the orange box back in early middle school and I'm 26 now lol
Such a shame indeed. So sad that Valve has basically let every property they own just die a slow and painful death. While the market is a lot tougher now for team shooters, I'm sure a TF3 or a massively updated TF2 could be a massive hit.

Soldier's speech actually is real history in TF2's world interestingly enough
The Medi-gun Medic uses in his video is actually the in-game 'Quick-Fix', a Medi-gun notorious for its utter lack of Ubercharge, or the ability that allows Medic to make his heal target (and himself) temporarily invulnerable. According to the game's developers, the Quick-Fix lost its Ubercharge ability due to the singular usage of it in the video.
Doesn't the Quick-Fix also allow the medic to keep up with scouts as well as rocket-jumping soldiers and sticky-jumping demos?
@@michaelkowal3230 being able to keep up with scouts used to be exclusive to quick fix, all mediguns have it now tho
I do think that the quick fix being used on the heavy really fits the quick fix well as it regenerates at EXTREME speeds so something like ope chest surgery is a gazillion times easier

Something to note: TF2's lore is, to put it bluntly, *batshit insane.* There's a special metal found only in Australia called Australium, and it's a nigh-infinite power source that can send technological advancements hurtling multiple *centuries* past what should be possible, and grants people massively increased strength, stamina, and fortitude, as well as *phenomenal* facial hair and chest hair, regardless of genetics or anything of the sort, meaning yes, Australium does in fact give women fantastic mustaches, AND it can be used to power what's basically an *immortality device.* ...or, you know, you can just plate your weapons in it to make them look pretty. There's also an evil guy in a grey suit with an endless army of robots that literally run on money.

Fun Fact: The mercenary's countries of origin were carefully selected. Not only because of WW2 stuff, but also general stereotypes surrounding those people. Example: Sniper was chosen to be Australian as a reference to Australians having amazing aim, somewhat also to the Crocodile Dandy movie. Medic was chosen to be German due to German's having really great scientists during WW2, leading to Medic's high intelligence and being able to trick the Devil in canon.

The Spy is actually an interesting one, as far as usefulness is concerned. Because on one hand, you're right: Spys are often not very useful. They normally cannot handle themselves in a fight due to their low HP and the fact that their main killing tool is made for stealth attacks, so they stay covert for most of the match which means they are also absent from the frontline fighting most of the time. On the other hand, the Spy just has a very powerful toolset. He can go invisible, one-hit any class in the game by backstabbing them with his knife, impersonate other players (which is admittedly not his best tool as the disguises are often not very convincing) and he can shut down any of the engineers contraptions. He also got a revolver which, whilst not a good weapon in prolonged combat, can deal a considerable amount of burst damage. A good spy in the right situation can pick apart an entire enemy team by himself, however for every good spy there's a hundred bad ones and the perfect opportunity often only comes once a match. Additionally, spotting and eliminating spies is a skill that all new players end up learning eventually, as getting one-hit out of nowhere is a bit of a jarring experience.
most of the metagame is built on the sheer paranoia they can induce, and a good spy isn't about killing a lot of people so much as killing ONE person who really, REALLY needs killing.
anything spy can do sniper does better 🎶
Technically speaking, the disguises are flawless. It's whoever is playing them who's being unconvincing.
one word: TRICK STABS
@@danielwilson8604 The class you play when all you think is "F*CK THAT PERSON IN PARTICULAR" He's also very useful to shut down medics The main problem is that eventually, as "doctor lalve" said in "The Spy guide": most enemies learn to turn around.
Ah, TF2, the game that refuses to die. Despite it's age of 15 years, despite an infestation of bots and hackers, despite the weird-ass bugs and glitches, TF2 still stays alive, popular, fun, and abundant with players. I'd love to see these guys play the game. Always like seeing new players play the game, whether it be via youtube video or in-game.
I've always wanted to play it, but due to...unfortunate circumstances, I never really got the chance. Should be able to get a laptop in the coming months, though, so that may change soon. Have loved the videos for years, though. They have so much character.
The people who're saying that it's dying are the ones who ain't playing it. There's actually a similarity between PewDiePie and TF2 that made me impressed. Pewds have 100 mil subs but only get an average 1-3+ mil views a week. But why isn't his channel dying? It's because if those 1+ million viewers get tired from his content, some viewers from that 100 million will come back. That's what's happening with TF2. It's a huge ass fanbase but it doesn't seem like it because it's always a rotation. A new batch will rise after some batches get tired of the game. If that new batches get tired, another new batches + new players will come. It's just impossible for TF2 to die unless the bot problems become worse that any batches will leave IMMEDIATELY, causing TF2 to actually die for good.

the reason teeth aren't the same as bones is actually because teeth have evolved from scales by the earliest fish species that had existed back then. Teeth don't have bone marrow, don't produce blood and immune cells because of it and are also harder.
@@random.3665 Except it heals every other broken bone or injury. The funny part is, Heavy's rib doesn't grow back because Medic SAID they don't grow back. Medic has a pact with Satan to become the best doctor that ever lived and ever will live. It's to the point that he rewrites reality with his procedures. It's also how he stole a patient's ENTIRE skeleton without killing them. He sold his soul, but used his super doctoring powers to bind the team's souls to him too. So Satan only holds a 1/9th stake in 'Medic's' soul, letting Medic go completely consequence free. (He's also made functionally immortal because of this.)

Meet the Team is acctually a masterpiece.
The best introductory to videogames' characters ever made
@@damired exactly. The tf2 characters are so amazing. Thats why tf2 is such a really amazing game
For sure
It is it is bravo 🤩🤩🤩
@@user-xl1du3gp6q TF2 and Overwatch did amazing actually getting you invested into the characters and world you were playing in.
The medic's role is really hard, everyone focuses on killing you.
As a sniper, I'm guilty of that, but for good reason. Medics are a great asset to the team and I try to take them down before they can uber and wipe out all of my team. Its kind of a compliment really.
@@IForgotToEatAllYourCheese Medic is just about the most powerful class in the game. If the enemy team has a medic and yours doesn’t, well… that ain’t gonna handle out so smooth.
You cant help but love the attention
Medic in game is design to keep his allies alive, and he does it in an insane way. The longer he stays on the field, the more annoying he becomes for the opposite side. It’s pretty rare to find a Medic who would survive the entire match.
@@IForgotToEatAllYourCheese that is just strategy, if you ignored medics it would handicap your team
They keep talking over all the punchlines :(
you know a game is good when a reactor talks over all the jokes in it yet they still love it
Fun fact: Heavy's line "Some people think they can outsmart me" is pretty ironic, since heavy is one of the smartest characters in the TF2 canon (yes that's a thing, they have a comic book series) ,he's got a doctorate in Russian literature, the engineer has 8 doctorates, im not sure what in, and the medic got his medical license revoked
According to his bio on the official Team Fortress website, Engie had "eleven hard science PhDs". Your guess is as good as mine what they are.
Pyros a pretty savvy businessman, able to run a business highly well. Scouts an idiot who can barely read, spy's got his head on straight the most, demoman is actually a pretty nice guy minus his drinking problem and apparently lives with his mom in a self bought mansion and holds down 3 jobs. Medic straight up invented Uber and the medigun, along with most likely being a pretty competent and skilled doctor if the orginal team fortress classic mercs hired him as their medic, the classic heavy is pretty smart and wouldn't just hire some random dumbass who knows how to stitch things together. He's so skilled he managed to bring someone back to life after they were dead for nearly 9 hours. Snipers not the smartest, but I'd say he's got at least a highschool education, and you can't be a professional assassin/sniper and constantly get away with it while also being an idiot. Heavy having a degree in Russian literature has never been stated as cannon, but it's clear that he is a very smart man, with wisdom and good and quick thinking. An example of this is during the interview comics, where he distracts the interviewer by only talking about his gun so the man wouldn't gain any access to knowlwge about his family. Along with finding and breaking into the overseers office, that being pretty impressive in and of itself. So he's not on engines level, he's still pretty damn smart. Like you said, engie has multiple doctorates. In fact, about 11 doctorate's in total. He's the son of another famous inventor and has worked with the Mann family and the overseer for decades, just like his father did. He's more then smart enough to invent the sentry gun, the wrangler, the teleporters and the dispenser, all of which he holds the patents for. Along with that, his father invented the life prolonging machines that the Mann brothers and the overseer use, but engies smart enough to highly and heavily improve on the original design, I'm pretty sure nearly quadrupling it's efficiency when using aulstralium. Soldiers a listened priest in Santa Monica and canonically has lead poisoning and such high mental instability that WW2 era America wouldn't take him in any form of military position. Back then the military would look at a 14 year old and believe the lie that they were 18 and toss him to the military. He can read tho. And is a legal lawyer thanks to the help of his old roommate, a melinuim old wizard. And apparently he's also immortal and also killed Tom Jones.
The stuff that is said in poker night isn’t cannon. So heavy dosnt have a PhD
@@someguy9746 if so, then how come he has a severe difference in speech between the english and russian dubs of TF2?
@Douglas Probs come on it’s their language they need to friking understand it also heavy is from Russia so he would be able to speak it BUT you don’t need a PhD to speak Russian.

4:05 The Soldier, the epitome of idiot hard case grunt, somehow outsmarts an actual soldier. That quote really is from Art of War.
To be fair, The Art of War has been mythologized as a tome of profound wisdom written by a 500 IQ genius. As opposed to reality which is that 70% of it is stuff that should be all rights be such basic common sense that only made it into the book because Sun Tzu was writing it for people even dumber than Soldier. And even then second half of that quote "If fighting is sure to result in defeat then you must not fight" doubtlessly went right over Soldier's head.
@@HunterStiles651 most self help/psychiatric/cliche sayings (when the boomer sayings come true) are all about self realization, which is about remembering/finding ways to relate to common sense so it really hits you. To ideally inspire a greater sense of self.
@@HunterStiles651 I find it quite egotistical that you think people were all somehow extremely dumb 1500 years ago. Without the people of the past, we wouldn't have the resources and technology we *do* have, and it all starts from ground zero with ancient civilization. For somebody who clearly wants to come off like they're smart and/or know what they're talking about, you really failed to account for the common sense you like to yammer on about. Anybody who's truly smart understands how ironically stupid it is to insult somebody else's intelligence as a means of discredit. If there's anything truly discrediting, it'll be plain as day and you'd be a fool to try and do so just because somebody is possibly not as smart as you, which.. Well, you can put the puzzle pieces together, can't you? Also, the Art of War hasn't been "mythologized". It's a book that's made it's rounds to 13 year olds who like to make memes with the book as the basic premise.
@@razztastic You see what's funny about this right? You criticize me for putting people down to make myself seem smarter, yet here you are typing four paragraphs to basically communicate "People back then weren't stupid. You're just a pretentious asshole."
its canon that the Soldier couldn't join the military during WW2. it didnt stop him from killing Nazis. he even made his own badge about it.
Fun fact: according to the lore,scout actually had a hard time reading,his only education was an elementary school grade-reading
Actually it’s because he tried reading a box when he was slightly concussed.
fun fact: engineer and pyro are friends because engineer can understand him
i've never been good at shooter but there was a time everyone was playing this, and the Spy was my favorite, you can equip different weapons and one knife lets you transform into the person you just killed with a backstab, the best I did was managed to run, hide and reach 14 kills before a pyro started 360 shooting , fun times, someone would always step in front of me and not check behind
This is probably the one video I was mad about commentary. Mostly because I wanted the two guys to really appreciate the lines and how artfully put together these videos are.
Same, they just wouldn't shut the fuck up
Same, lol. I was like "omg stfu and pay attention to the dialogs" haha
Same. Not really a reaction if they spend the entire time talking over the video with bad jokes in silly accents.
Yeah, they just brush over the fact sniper is a respectable person
They talked over most of the jokes honestly
Each character in TF2 has their own Loadout, but no Ultimate Scout is from Boston, and is a real objective getter, with a close range shotgun Soldier's Location is Unknown, but he can Rocket Jump and be a jack of all trades Pyro is even more Unknown, but his fire damage is a big crowd controller Demoman is Scottish with a big explosive oriented kit and Sticky Bombs Heavy is a big russian guy with the most health in the game and does big damage to 1 target, but cant do much to multiple Engineer is from Texas, and can build a Sentry (an automatic firing gun that can stop a push without Uber) a Dispenser (can Heal and replenish Ammo and Metal) and the Teleporter The Sniper picks off one target at a time for long range, but his close range is (CRITICAL HIT!) OH WHAT!?!? The Medic is the backbone of a team with his healing and Uber (depending on Medi Gun) And the Spy is a weird case, he isnt good but can pick off the most important classes (Heavy, Sniper, Medic) with one Backstab (he rarely gets more than one though)
That CRITICAL HIT! joke's good, but would stick better with medics just having some GOD DAMN FAITH in thoes random crits on their melee and rushing to you as you try and take them out before they, undoubtable, will one shot you.

Tf2: oldest and best team shooter in the world. Great lore, good gameplay, Screw hackers/bots
Well it's not the oldest, maybe one of the oldest still active, but for one, TFC obviously came first and the original TF mod was based off of Quake.
@@anonymousaccordionist3326 i think he meant with a large player base that remembers the game as is, TFC isnt remembered much, and neither is Quake (even tho all of them are incredible games), one i might even add as a great team shooter that is somewhat active, is CS:1.6
Interesting you would all forget RTCW Enemy Territory... The best team based shooter of all time.
@@tjrex9458 damn, saying people dont remember quake makes me a bit sad, one of the four cornerstones of FPS games together with doom, wolfenstein 3d and half life
The original Quake Team Fortress was 1996. The Marine Doom mod for Doom II was publicly released in the same year, but had been used by the US military as a training tool for an unknown amount of time prior to being made public. The first Rainbow Six game released in 1998. There were a *LOT* more between Doom 2 still getting mods, other Quake mods that competed with TF, Quake 2, Unreal, and Half life mods (and TFC which was arguably a HL mod too) before TF2 came out. There's no basis to claim it's the "oldest" and while none of the older ones are still as active as it is, there are several which predate it and still see regular play.
Something a lot of people miss is the stabbing sounds in "Meet The Spy" and how they are synced to the beat of the song.
“Meet the Spy” is probably the best merc intro I’ve ever seen.

16:04 Dude, he is the most important class in the game to keep the team alive. I am a Medic main and it doesn't get easier the better you are.
Here here! Ive learned a lot in my early days of playing Medic how to hide behind corners and popping if I've got no one to heal and get away safely. I don't play a lot these days but I still remember watching a lot of AreaySeven.
any team will fall apart without a medic or having a bad medic. dont be a pocket. heal everybody to overheal good or bad and when everyone starts taking damage recognize how everyone behaves and who is more important to the team. it doesn't equate to score ever.
@@12334jk personally any team needs a medic or a engi to at least have some sort of healing and as a engi main i always keep my dispenser just around the corner of the fighting and everyone on my team finds it and plus,medics are just a rare treasure to find
My advice to new Medics, don't just keep your whole team healed but also OVERHEALED (50% more health than your max is no joke when you're in a fight) and master the Crusader's Crossbow if you can. It's got a huge difficulty curve but if you can learn to hit your shots consistently with it during a push, you can save a few of your teammates a respawn. If you get caught alone with only one teammate to save you, you can also keep hitting them with the Crossbow while they get damaged.
@@SnowEspeon That is the best advice I have ever heard from anybody when it comes to playing Medic.
A cool little detail is that after the "meet the spy" came out, snipers model was updated to have the small face scar where spy slashed him
POV: me drinking the liquid inside of my lava lamp 15:49
also the in-universe cameraman was eventually killed by miss pauling who was ordered by the administrator
The Spy actually can be an incredible asset to the team lineup if you play him right, having the tools to sneak behind the frontline and the ability to insta-kill ANY class can turn the entire game around BTW: If you wanna see more of these characters there is an official adult short-film called Expiration Date made by the same company.
It'd be cool for them to watch expiration date
Don't forget the comics.
In the actual game he is countered by every fucking class.
@@yesnttnsey8581 Not really, he just can't 1v1 like the other classes can, it's not like pyros are immune to backstabs or anything, he still has his place in the battle.

"I wonder if there are people that are still playing this game to this day." TF2 has been a top ten game by player activity on Steam since its release, and is at #8 right now with 76,000 players (admittedly a lot of bots), more than Destiny 2 and GTAV. It remains one of Steam's most profitable games, worldwide. So yes, a few people still play.
Yet they refuse to fix the game. Even though it was proven itself to be one of their longest living games, next to CSGO
@@vitamind2943 Valve is a weird company, they let their employees work on projects they find interesting, hence why they havent released many games before Alyx cause projects are getting dropped left right and center. Tf2 has only 1 employee working on it (at least to my knowledge) and unless a sudden spike in interest in both the community and Valve itself, it probably wont get more than 1 developer for a while. And I mean Tf2 is over a decade old, its older than most of the users on steam, which is probably one of the reasons why they dont feel the need to focus on the game. Which sucks but the game is 15 years old, in video game terms pretty much ancient. Its on its last legs, its on an old engine, and interest from new players are probably on an all time low. I hate to say it but Tf2 is probably gonna stop getting updates from Valve in the next couple of years.
