    TF2 Stereotypes 

Hat Stereotypes

  • All of the "edgy hat" montages.
  • The character "Jose.Gonzales.2005", who represents oblivious F2Ps who just installed the game and don't know what the hell they're even doing, yet somehow manage to dominate you anyways, despite probably not even knowing what game they're playing.
  • Multi-Class:
    • "If you see a Max's Head on an Engineer, never, ever take his teleporter. (Demoman emerges from teleporter and runs off a cliff) Ever."
    • In the Bruiser's Bandana segment (the very first "edgy hat" segment), the friendly Heavy that gets killed is named "please unsub from soundsmith".
    • His comments on the Potassium Bonnet.
      SoundSmith: These guys just like to freak other people out. Like, they're the same type of people who go down to Wal-Mart at 3 in the morning just to buy weird shit and freak out the cashier. It's just- *sighs, starts chuckling* Oh my god, it's so awesome!"
    • For the Dr. Dapper's Topper (his signature hat), he greatly praises people who wear it while trying to hide his.
  • The Scout:
    • Hero's Tail: "It says here in my script that I'm supposed to play some shitty anime music..." *proceeds to not play "One-Winged Angel", while the screen is tinted pink and zooms in at an odd angle, with the words “I have no idea what I'm doing”*
    • Milkman: "He is going to fish you, and it is going to be embarrassing. You might as well just accept it right now."
    • Hermes: "This guy has legally changed his name to Scout McCrazyLegs CrouchJumpSpam."
  • The Soldier:
    • Brain Bucket: "All hail Gaben. ALL HAIL GABEN. ALL HAIL GABEN."
    • The Killer's Kabuto. RYUJIN NO KEN O KURAE!
      That's the closest thing you'll ever see to Overwatch here
    • Chieftain's Challenge: "Why, yes! He does have a Medic girlfriend! And yes, her Kritzkrieg is permanently attached to his rectum. And yes, she will pop just to kill you."
    • Three words: Linkin. Park. Vaporwave.
  • The Pyro:
  • The Demoman:
    • SoundSmith says he shouldn't make a Jihad joke about the Sultan's Ceremonial, but he does it anyway.
      ALLAH ACKBAR!
      [A Demoman wearing the Sultan's cabers Sound before cutting to the text "I Regret Nothing"]
    • Allbrero: '"WOOOOOOO WOOOOOOO WOOOOOOO" after every kill'
  • The Heavy:
  • The Engineer:
    • Virtual Reality Headset: FUUTUUURE! FUUUUTUURE!
    • "You know, I actually know a former Peacenik's Ponytail Engie who had so many people say in chat, 'Who would put their sentry there?' that he actually named his wrench that."
  • The Sniper:
    • Instead of ending the episode with an "edgy hat" montage, The Sniper episode starts with one. In fact, it starts with five of them in a row.
      SoundSmith: Okay, we're off to a great start.
    • Special mention goes to the music choice for the last two montages. The Dread Riding Hood montage is set to the infamous mashup of "Numb" and the Seinfeld theme (prompting a confused reaction from SoundSmith), while the Anger montage has a bunch of "edgy" songs (including the aforementioned mashup and a really bad cover of "Bring Me To Life") layered on top of one another.
    • During the Cold Killer segment, SoundSmith points out a Sniper in the background who accidentally walks off a cliff.
    • Anger (round two): "...Oh, right! And #3: CRAWWWWLING IIIN MY SKIIIII-"
  • The Spy:
    • During the intro, SoundSmith brings up the "Spy mains are weeaboos" stereotype and says he shouldn't "go for the low-hanging fruit", so he gets the joke out of the way via a weeaboo montage.
      ''I identify with Sasuke's beliefs because I'm a 13-year-old and I think they're really deep
    • The Charmer's Chapeau segment, especially the interview skit.
  • Honorable Mentions:
    • Private Eye: "This guy watches Sherlock and thinks he's just as clever as Benedril Cabbagepatch. Wait, Buffalo Custardbath? No, Bigbanana Habitat! Beefstew Calculator?"
    • SoundSmith tries to make a Bee Movie joke for the Hive Minder, but gets yelled at by an offscreen person for it, forcing him to make a really bad pun instead.
    • The final "edgy hat" montage of the series (for the Hood of Sorrow), featuring SoundSmith accidentally setting "All Star" as the background music and his regret over allowing the joke to go this far.

Weapon Stereotypes

Misc. Stereotypes

  • Multi-Class:
    • The Dictator is just a montage of a "Communist loadout", complete with the Soviet Union national anthem playing in the background. Towards the end, the anthem becomes ear rape for exaggeration, with a subtle camera shot of SoundSmith himself laughing.
    • At one point, we see that SoundSmith has renamed his Tomislav to "Tomi Wiseau".
    • The Competitive Medals segment lampshades the usual obnoxiousness of its wearers:
      (shouting into a megaphone) "ATTENTION, GAMERS! I AM BETTER THAN YOU AT THIS GAME! PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO ME! AH HA HAA-"
    • The Bruiser's Bandana is notable because SoundSmith opted to take a more different approach at the stereotype, only for a familiar song to start playing in the background and eventually get louder. Before he knew it, the Running Gag returns at full force, prompting SoundSmith to leave in frustration. note 
  • The Scout:
    • The Bootie Time's stereotype starts out with incessant jingling as the screen grows redder and redder, and an image of SoundSmith being triggered fades in.
    • The Fast Learner segment opens with a Fast Learner Scout going on a three-day rantnote  about his cosmetic choices and how he only wears the Fast Learner because it fits his set, not because he's an annoying Scout main...needless to say, everyone he was talking to has stopped listening by the time he's done.
      "WHY DOES NOBODY LIKE ME?!"
    • The Flapjack segment has SoundSmith constantly getting interrupted by the "FUTUREEEEEE!!!!!" meme.
    • The Stereoscopic Shades:
      SoundSmith: "This guy is probably making a loadout based on ghfjvjfjga."
      Spergy: Sorry, based on who?"
      SoundSmith: "Y... You know, the Dhjmvsm."
      Spergy: "Who?"
      SoundSmith: "The Dhjmvsm!"
      Spergy: "Dude, speak up. Who?" (Sudden realization) "Oh... Oh I get it."
    • The final stereotype is for the Electric Twanger, which is that guy at a party who has a guitar he can't really play. This is illustrated by Nathan Vetterlein — Scout's actual voice actor — singing "Wonderwall".
  • The Soldier:
    • This episode has at least two Didn't We Use This Joke Already? segments, possibly more, and SoundSmith gets hilariously flustered and frustrated each time.
    • Soldier's Stogie:
      SoundSmith: "This guy is probably wearing two other cosmetics that include pipes or cigars of some kind so that he can go for MAXIMUM LUNG CANCER!" (Beat) "cough"
    • The Compatriot segment is similar to The Dictator segment in the Multi-Class episode, but a direct opposite at the same time. It's a montage of the cosmetic complete with the American Dad! theme blaring in the background for exaggeration, with the Soldier shouting "God bless America!" to emphasize the point of the stereotype.
  • The Pyro:
    • The Pyromancer's Mask skit, where a Reserve Shooter main melodramatically laments the recent nerf to the weapon and asks what he will do now. Cue gameplay clip depicting the Pyro just charging in to the BLU spawn while "W+M1" appears on-screen.
    • The stereotype for the Moonman Backpack is that they use the full Grodbort's set, including the Phlogistinator, and are pretty cool, laid-back dudes, even though most Phlog users are CRAWLING IN MY CRAWL, THESE CRAWL, THEY WILL NOT CRAWL-
    • The stereotype for the Foster's Facade, where SoundSmith equips his Pyro with three weapons decorated with dollar bills as an old song about money ("Loadsamoney" by British comedian Harry Enfield) plays in the background. The Stockbroker's Scarf stereotype follows right after, and shows a Pyro showered in dollar bills as that same music plays, now absurdly bass boosted.
      Soundsmith: Oh, and also Sketchek.
    • The Last Breath skit.
      (Clip of SoundSmith waving his camera around frantically as he sprays fire all over the enemy spawn)
      SoundSmith: OH GOD WHY IS THERE A SPIDER ON MY MOUSE GET IT OFF GET IT OFF OH oh cool I killed everything that's nice we take those but but also OH GOD GET IT OFF!
    • Of course, the Pop-Eyes skit. Words do not express the amount of hilarity that ensues when you give Bearded Expense a mic.
      "look they just really like jiggle bones okay"
    • The Lunatic's Leathers skit.
      SoundSmith: *breath* PHLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG!!!!
    • Can we just mention that SoundSmith ARTIFICIALLY INFLATED the prices of the Last Survivor from the previous SoundSmith video, without actually making a serious attempt to do so? Just, WOW. (He capitalizes on it at the end of this video by making a big deal about one of the Pyro's cosmeticsnote  at the end of this video and bringing up that he's bought 50 of them, making it look like he's going through the same thing all over again... only to abruptly reverse course and call the cosmetic in question a piece of crap. He acknowledges that he's saddled himself with a pile of cosmetics that he won't be able to sell afterwards, but still declares the whole thing to be Worth It.)
  • The Demoman:
    • The stereotype for the Dangeresque, Too?
      SoundSmith: You know what this is used for. We all know what this is used for. Tryhard demos who sticky spam and wear the Hustler's Hallm-
      [The Hustler's Hallmark + Dangeresque Demoman shown on-screen gets panned]
    • The Snapped Pupil skit. It goes without description.
    • The MAXIMUM LUNG CANCER gag returns for the Bearded Bombardier stereotype.
    • Likewise, the Whiskey Bib skit needs to be seen to be believed.
    • The Seeing Double/Six Pack Abs stereotype overlaps with the Allbrero, and SoundSmith reminds us of this by showing a full-blown raging kegger.
      SoundSmith: What is- where is everybody- *sees a pair of Soldiers doing the Kazotsky Kick at a gate* Oh. Oh no… *enters building*
      Multiple obnoxious Demomen: "WOOOOO-" "WOOOOO-" "WOOOOO-" "WOOOOO-"
      SoundSmith: Are they... they're all using the beer taunt... [chorus of "WOOOOO-" continues in background] Okay, um, oh my God... [gets Blown Across the Room] Okay, I don't... I don't like this. I feel like I'm being peer pressured into drinking or something. I don't like this at all! [Bar Brawl ensues]
    • SoundSmith nothing that the Double Dog Dare Demo Pants are really the only lower body cosmetic for Demoman that isn't EXTREMELY SCOTTISH.
  • The Heavy:
    • The Security Shades skit parodies the opening sequence of DEATH BATTLE! by ScrewAttack, where it is pitted against the all-class misc, the Macho Mann, for Cool Shades superiority. Then cues a Curb-Stomp Battle of the Macho Mann shooting the Security Shades out of the park in a split second, with both SoundSmith and his guest, Big Joey Slap Nuts, surprised.
      SoundSmith: Oooh...Oh. O-Okay, that was fast, umm...
      Big Joey Slap Nuts: Yeah, it's...almost like the Macho Mann outclasses the Security Shades in almost every way possible, leaving them with basically...no reason to exist...?
      SoundSmith: Yeah...huh...
    • The Commisar's Coat.
      KGB Open up!!! *Cue bass-boosted Communist national anthem*
    • The Leftover Trap skit features a classic annoying know-it-all who corrects SoundSmith on his use of the term "T-pose", and after a Beat, is quickly ventilated.
      Look at me, I have a basic grasp of the English Language. That makes me smart and not obnoxious!
  • The Engineer:
  • The El Patrón skit ends with people not demonstrating the Kazotsky Kick.
    SoundSmith: No, the other stupid dance.
  • The Medic:
    • Surgeon's Stethoscope: And then he calls a kick vote!
    • The Medical Mystery skit is a Film Noir parody narrated by Totenkopf that ends up amounting to:
      Totenkopf: One of these days, I'll put the pieces together, put it to bed, one of these days, I'll figure out... Where the fuck my team is! Seriously, why is nobody protecting me?! Where are you people? Oh yeah, yeah, they're helping the engineer out now, yeah, all right, I see how it is. Just gonna leave me with these fucking guys, cool...
      (The Medic gets sniped by a Sniper as a BLU Scout and Soldier corner the Medic)
    • The Bunnyhopper's Ballistics Vest, Ze Ubermensch, and Surgical Survivalist all have a Running Gag where Battle Medics inevitably become Sniper bait.
      Sniper: It's free real estate, mate.
      Also Sniper: (warbled, over the sound of rapid sniper rifle shots) "You'll be needin' another use for that neck~!"
    • The Brush with Death skit parodies a nature documentary by detailing how Medics who wear this misc seem to pull out their Ubersaws at every reasonable (and unreasonable) opportunity.note 
      Peterscraps: Scientists are still unsure what causes this response. Whether they assess risk improperly, are lemmings, or are just that fucking stupid.
      (This program has been suspended indefinitely)
      (c'mon guys how was I supposed to know that the producer wore the brush with death)
    • "Fashionable...Megalomaniac. Why does that sound familiar?"
    • The Burly Beast skit. Spergy's reaction alone is enough to sell this one.
  • The Sniper:
  • The Spy:
    • The first stereotype focuses on the Noh Mercy, and Smith outlines a theory that a great number of Spy mains are weebs because watching anime somehow makes you better at playing the class. After four months of watching One-Punch Man and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, he feels like he's improving. Eight months, he's been binge watching Naruto, he's praising the choreography of the fight scenes, and suddenly in the middle of a fight his weapon switches to the Conniver's Kunai. After one year...
      Caption: Subject has become a fully-fledged weeb. He is now speaking broken Japanese with abysmal pronounciation via Google Translate.
      Sound: *in broken Japanese* You know, Acooma* isn't even really that good at the game.
    • The Rogue's Col Roule involves two different stereotypes involving Spy Youtubers, one of which has a pretentious pub frag video edited to make him look cool.
      Sound: (In the example pub-frag video) "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask why the fuck you decided to put in some random historical speech at the beginning of your pub frag video. Seriously, did you think this would make you look smart and philosophical or some shit?
    • Meanwhile, the other type of stereotype for the Rogue's Col Roule is just a video of a Gibus Sniper being backstabbed with several anime images and gifs plastered all over the screen with a flashing text that says "Salty Phish isn't even that good at the game", likely meant to be a jab at a certain Youtuber.
      "this physically hurt to make"
    • The Lurking Legionnaire leads into Sound praising the fact that the Spy has so many good-looking body cosmetics. He then panics, remembers he has to say something inflammatory, and throws darts to fill out a Mad Libs Dialogue stereotype.
      Sound: Fuck you, Spy Main [Dead Ringer] [spamming] [Amby] Spy!

War Paint Stereotypes

  • The Only One
    • The very reason this video existing: because a friend of his posted a fake text message about War Paint Sterotypes airing on October 8th, 2023 in one of his videos. Unfortunately, everyone in the comments in his video were focused only on that fake message to the point that Sound decided to commit to the bit for the sake of it. During the stereotypes video, Sound also purposely sounded as unenthusiastic as possible while also making the video as unprofessionally edited as possible slightly on par with his first Hat Stereotypes videos.
    • His bit on the Freedom Wrapped War Paint:
      WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER
    • The Swashbuckled War Paint involves Sound poking fun at himself from something that happened during his first TF2 Unboxing video:
      Sound: When this first came out, it was broken, and had a missing texture instead. In the naive hope that it would stay this way, you put it on something funny, like a fish, and were soon disappointed by a fix actually being implemented soon after. Now you're stuck with something that is, admittedly a cool skin, but that you put on a goddamn Holy Mackerel. So it just sits collecting dust in your backpack with all of your other Holy Mackerels. (Beat) I-It's me. I'm talking about me. I'm the stereotype.

    Mann's Guide 

A Mann's Guide to the Beggar's Bazooka

  • Soundsmith does an entire take about TF2 being a game about Precision and accuracy. Cue the Beggar's Bazooka.
    Sound: I mean, LOOK at it, Soldier pulled it out of a dumpster, it's canonically literal trash!
  • The nonsensical casino and shit-slinging comparisons.
  • When discussing the deviation mechanic, a helpful diagram of what the Beggar's actually does is shown... before being replaced with "What It Feels Like It Does" with a large scribble and a Big "WHAT?!".
  • Sound demolishing the entire enemy team on Dustbowl within seconds by spam-clicking.
    OrnaBug: Jesus...
    Sound: Guys you don't understand, this glue just smells frickin' AMAZING.
  • When he introduces the sponsor, he accidentally says "Markiplier.tf" instead of "Marketplace.tf".

A Mann's Guide to the Big Earner

  • It starts with a parody of the opening of the first Cars movie, only for the Spy to get blown up immediately after leaving the spawn room.
    • In the sequence, the second shot of the Spy racetrack briefly shows a Hong Kong Cone Spy doing the typical "weeaboo run".
    • Even less visible is that one of the spies in the sequence is dressed as the Nostalgia Critic]]. You'll need to open the bonus clips video to see it, where Soundsmith zooms the camera on him.
  • SoundSmith explains that the Big Earner basically makes the Spy vulnerable to being one-shot by a lot more weapons, which is highlighted by Smurf backing up a dump truck into frame, filled with literally all the weapons that can do so...
    Sound: ...Okay, how did you even fit that in here?! (Gets buried in a massive pile of weapons)
  • The part where the Medic gets backstabbed and the choice of tactics after that is elaborated. The first option is to go for a backstab chain. The second...
    Spy: (Starts running away) RUN FOR YOUR LIIIIIFFFFEEE! (Quickly gets run over by a demoknight and sent flying)note 
  • The Running Gag of having to work with an unnamed fictional "Corporate" entity funding the show and having to adhere to their mandates. When Sound and Smurf decide to stop listening to them, they get their budget pulled, which results in the animation devolving into crappy Garry's Mod animation. Hilarity Ensues.
    • After the first budget cut, the discussion on how to get more money leads into this line:
      Sound: I can't manipulate the market like I usually do, they're on to that shit.
  • "Big Earner Spies when a dust particle touches them for 0.1 seconds"
  • The entire "KJ's Clip Commentary" is chaotic as all hell, starting off with KJ's incredibly low-quality "ASMR mic", laggy gameplay, and nonstop Non Sequiturs.
    • Sound being utterly baffled by Clockwerk Smurf being able to get away with the dumbest shit, including hiding in a corner at the end of a lost round with the bumper car taunt.
    • According to the extra clips, this is apparently Smurf's gameplay in general: he'll be undisguised in the middle of a crowd and nobody will see him.
  • And then the video ends with this gem...
    Ethan: If you're a real Mann Co. mercenary, you'll pick [whichever tactic] is more fun for you. (Beat) YEAH JUST KIDDING a real Mann Co. mercenary only goes for butterknives. Yeah, that's right, bitch, we get the speed boost even if it's not a backstab, eat your heart out, Kunai. We're playing shitty Demoknight now. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

A Mann's Guide to the Backburner

  • The intro is a homage to the iconic "Clever Girl" scene from Jurassic Park (1993), where a Sniper wielding a Huntsman is about to shoot at a Soldier and his pocket Medic, only to get ambushed by a Backburner Pyro. It's even funnier when you remember the fact that SoundSmith teased the next episode would be about the Huntsman, only to exploit "the unexpected" by having it be about a completely different weapon.
  • Ethan runs into a Soldier who just dropped out of nowhere, leading to a familiar gag:
    Ethan: Oh. Uhhh... Hey, uhh... You got something on your back there, you wanna turn around? I can get it for you.
    Dungeon Master: Fine, roll a deception check, with disadvantage.
    (Two 20-sided dice are rolled, and both of them land on 20)
    Ethan: Okay so you're not gonna believe this!
    Dungeon Master: WHAT THE FU—
  • Ethan talks about how the Backburner's main downside being the fact it can't airblast that much, which leads to a very funny historical gag:
    Ethan: The only downside of the Backburner is that your airblast costs 150% more. In practical terms, this means that you only get as many airblasts as the years it took for the Confederacy to get completely steamrolled. (A screenshot of the Wikipedia page for the Confederacy appears on the screen showing it only lasted for 4 years, followed by a laughtrack with the mercs doing the Schadenfreude taunt with "rip bozo" above them)
  • At the end of the video, Ethan decided to randomly switch to talking about the Frying Pan, even going as far as to make a "Mann's Guide to the Frying Pan" to be as unexpected as possible, only for KJ to pull the plug in the middle of his recording and to point out what he's doing isn't really "new" or "unexpected".
    Ethan: Man, come on! I was just getting into it! Now I have to build all that momentum up again!
    KJ: Look, I get where you're going, it's a solid idea; stupid, unexpected, funny, it's good. Follows a theme. But uhh, it's kind of the problem, right?
    Ethan: What do you mean?
    KJ: This is what we do every time: Starts as a tutorial, gets progressively dumber, and eventually it all goes to hell, and then it cuts to the studio, and we do an ending stinger. Same thing, every single time.

A Mann's Guide to the Huntsman

  • The intro is the same as the Backburner's, except this time the Sniper fires off his shot, misses wildly, and yet the arrow immediately teleports right in front of the Pyro's head, eliciting some surprise from them before they end up A Twinkle in the Sky.
  • Ethan just cannot get over the fact that the Huntsman officially has no stats due to the Huntsman being one of the first fundamentally unique weapons in the game compared to its alternatives for the same class. The entire early intermission is because this factor is driving him insane and he needs to fix it with an unofficial list of stats.
  • The Running Gag of Spies being killed accidentally, to the point where it even becomes an entire show called "Did He Mean to Kill That Guy?", all of which have the "No" answer. Lazy declares that it'll be the only episode because it's too easy to figure out the answers.
  • Ethan tries to compare the Huntsman's potential for funny ragdolls with the normal sniper rifle. When the rifle gets a funny ragdoll, he tries to desperately claim that it wasn't funny. He fails miserably.
    Ethan: Okay, but the Huntsman's got funny ragdolls, though! Like, look, look at this funny ragdoll. (Shows a vibrating Scout pinned to the ground) Isn't that wacky? Huh? Bet the stock rifle can't do that! (Shows a clip of a headshot being landed on a Soldier just as he's rocket-jumping, causing him to fly into the air spinning) N-Nope. No, no! That wasn't funny. No. I... (Snerk, then comical wheeze)
  • Lazy Purple makes a cameo, writing up the script for "How it FEELS to play Medic", and seems to be on fire...only to reveal his script only consists of a giant fancy "That" in the same style of Spongebob's essay paper consisting only of the word "The" with the following words "was a re-creation of a competitive clip where", only to see the camera recording him, prompting him to knock it down. "Hey, get outta here, you don't interuppt the genius at work!"
  • Ethan initially dismisses the Huntsman as a meme weapon that is outclassed by the stock sniper rifle in every way... Until he gets to the part where he starts comparing their quick-shot effectiveness against any of the non-light classes (Solider, Pyro, Demoman and Heavy, nevermind any class overhealed over 150 health aside from an overhealed Heavy), and discovers that quick-scoping with the sniper rifle is markedly less effective than the immediate and quick charge of the Huntsmannote . The realization that the Huntsman actually takes skill to use and has an incredibly viable use case completely flabbergasts Ethan and KJ, who need to come up with an entire title card for the next sequence, forcing them to go to a sponsor break.
  • As for the behind-the-scene video...
    • "Surprise! I lied again!"
    • "In concept, the double-feature is pretty cool. 2021 Ethan thought that this was a fantastic idea, and can I just say, that guy is a moron. F*ck you, man!"
    • After highlighting an H.Bomberguy reference, he also straight up sources it in proper MLA-style, because "being in the second half of an H.Bomberguy video is my worst nightmare."
    • Ethan highlights a bizzare comment claiming that he at one point stared directly in the camerascreaing "wake up".
      Soundsmith: I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean, I can't find it anywhere in the video, but I guess you should probably wake up. No, seriously, wake up. It's been three years. Your mother and I miss you. Wake up.
    • Ethan's You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me! reaction to yet another typo that a whole bunch of comments fixated on in this case, "25% slower reload sped".
    • In a funny blend of Heartwarming and hilarious, the behind-the-scenes video reveals that getting angry comments about getting killed by the Huntsman to put in the final part of the main Mann's Guide was actually a lot harder than Ethan thought it would benote . Roughly three minutes of footage consists of Ethan killing people to get angry chat reactions, only for the victim to either congratulate him on a nice shot or laugh at how ridiculous their death was, followed by Ethan thanking them in chat as he progressively gets more and more upset that he's not getting the footage he needs and (jokingly) lays blame on them for being nice. After months of recording sessions, Ethan had to resort to playing on community servers rather than Valve's official Casual servers to finally get what he needed.

    Casual Meta 
  • Delet This: SoundSmith and friends use the Short Circuit offensively. And somehow it works.
    SoundSmith: I'm gonna be real, the only reason I'm making this video is because I want to make a video called Delet This.
  • "Advanced" Sentry Placement: SoundSmith and KJ use their "advanced" knowledge to put their Sentries in the most unexpected places. It's funnier than you expect.
    • KJ at one point goes completely AFK in the enemy team's sewers. Not only does Sound not notice, neither do the enemy team.
  • Expand Donk: SoundSmith and KJ get together, and make a pun based off of the Loose Cannon.
    KJ: "WHO WANTS SOME DONG!?!?!
    • Expand Donk 2: Donk Harder: The sequel, this time with XenoGene. Special mention must go to the beginning of the video, where XenoGene, trying to find a funny picture to use for his profile, comes across this image◊ of a man in a Donkey Kong costume and immediately declares it to be perfect, using the man's face as his profile picture and naming his alias "CocoNUT Gun".
  • Attack of the Flava Flav Scout: Sound and KJ run around using the Medigun and Boston Basher to surprisingly great effect. All whilst KJ shouts "FLAAAVAAA FLAAAV!"
  • SV_Infinite_Ammo_1: Sound and FearHD run around using the Medigun and the Widowmaker, abusing the "regain ammo on hit" mechanic.
  • The Sniper Terrorisers: Sound, Clockwerk Smurf, and Kaikola use the Ullapull Caber and the Sticky Jumper to terrorise the BLU team battlements on 2Fort. It gets to the point there's soon a Heavy waiting for them.
  • The Charge Shot Batallion: Sound, KJ, and Kaiko use nothing but the Cow Mangler's charged shot. Sound is bewildered by the fact that everyone gets hit by the slow-moving laser bolt.

    MvM Shenanigans 

    Other TF2 videos 
  • In "The Legend of the Duped Shovel", one of SoundSmith's friends is on a trade server trying to buy a duped shovel. note  When the other traders laugh off his offer, SoundSmith joins the server without an alias offering to sell a duped shovel. Hilarity Ensues.
  • "The Notorious Scoundrels." Sound and friends completely steamroll a CTF_Well server and a CTF_Sawmill server as a team of Fat Scoutsnote , using aliases like "the scoundrel" and "the fiend", all in lower case. They quickly establish that the Notorious Scoundrels are a well-known gang led by their oldest member, The Fart.
  • "Expert Demopan". A montage of Sound's escapades using nothing but a frying pan as the Demo.
Skit!Demo: You underestimate the overwhelming power of my STAND, Scout! Observe! ANOTHER DEMOPAN!
Scout: What?!
Soundsmith: Who knows what kinds of cursed abominations will come through this teleporter?

An a-posing Heavy comes out of the tunnel on their right.

  • Everything XenoGene says as "King William" in "Assorted Huntsman Funnies". Special mention goes to this gem:
    "I can't believe it! I shan't believe it! That man just hit the juju on the beat!"
  • The entire Bad Pipes sequence in "I UNBOXED 50 Scream FORTRESS Crates and THIS Happened.... (UNUSUAL?!?!?! (GONE WRONG (OMG?!)))" is one long moment of funny. To briefly recap it; SoundSmith unboxes a Bad Pipes Unusualifier and goes to see what he got (which turns out to be the Rising Ritual effect)...only for the game to remove it from his loadout screen right in front of his eyes. He reacts exactly as you'd expect (though thankfully, he only had to reboot the game to fix the problem);
    SoundSmith: Cool, we're good, we're good, everything's fine...
    *The equipped Bad Pipes literally pops out of his inventory, complete with sound effect*
    SoundSmith: No, NO!
    *literally everybody else begins cracking up*
    SoundSmith: You are kidding me!

  • The Running Gag of Ethan and company repeatedly menacing Garfield characters is hilarious in its sheer absurdity.
    Gene: [Holds up a ragdoll of Jon Arbuckle] I seem to have found a willing participant! This man has been talking to his cat for the last 30 years.
    Ethan: Well, let's see if he blends! Will Jon Arbuckle TF2 Blend? [Ethan drops Jon's ragdoll into a giant blender]
  • Sentro sets Ethan's house on fire, and the latter sadly makes a comment about how a captain always goes down for the ship. Cue Sentro saying "That's not a ship, it's a house!" and Ethan quickly hopping out of the house to shoot him dead.
  • Towards the end of "The Mysterious Daredevil", Sentro spawns in a small, bomb-like object in front of Bearded and Sound. Sound tries shooting the object, and when he does, no visible explosion occurs, but instead Bearded turns into a stock Heavy who starts Kazotsky Kicking to the main theme of Chicken Invaders 2, which Sound comments is the last thing he expected to happen. When Bearded starts doing the same thing again shortly after, Sound and Sentro try escaping from him via a helicopter, until they realize that Bearded got into the helicopter with them, causing everyone to bail in midair.
  • Bearded's entire stint as the titular character in "The Overmind" is every bit hilarious as it is legitimately terrifying.
    • The Overmind's muffled, droning Leitmotif is one of the most unnerving things about him, at least until you realize it's a pitched-down, distorted version of 'Mambo No. 5'.
