A series of comedy/action videos made in Garry's Mod by Uberman765
, the "Dat Intelligence" series is about the adventures of various RED Team members who are trying to capture the intelligence briefcases of the BLU Team, among many other antics as the BLU Team attempts to stop them.
The main series consists of:
Dat Intelligence (HDR Remastered version): Two RED Spiesnote attempt to take the intelligence on 2Fort, only to get caught by the BLU Team and requiring help from their RED Heavy friend.
Dat Intelligence is Captured: Shifting focus to a different group of protagonists, a named RED Spy known as Spaaps along with his friends, get caught up in a scheme by the BLU Gangster Group to capture the RED intelligence.
Who Captured Dat Intelligence: Spaaps and his teammates, as well as a new protagonist, a RED Spy named Detective Lime with his own allies, both head to thwart the BLU Gangster Group's scheme involving the kidnapping of several RED Medics, and to get dat intelligence back from them. The original protagonists from the first video return as well, with their own distinguishing hats this time.
Dat Intelligence provides examples of:
- Adaptational Wimp: Some of the more popular TF2 Freaks, which include the likes of Painis Cupcake, Vagineer, Christian Brutal Sniper, and Sewer Medic, are sicced on the RED Team, but they go down with not much more difficulty than other members of the BLU Team, when in their origin videos, these Freaks tend to be extremely difficult to kill if not impossible for normal men, and powerful enough that only other Freaks could take them on. Additionally, Demopan, who is known for similar strength to the other Freaks, is easily subdued by a RED Heavy throwing a whole cabinet at him in Dat Intelligence. That RED Heavy, identified as the Gibus Heavy in Who Captured Dat Intelligence, simply tackles Demopan again and makes Demopan remember him just to make Demopan drop his stuff then run away from him.
- Anti Climax Cut: Once the RED Team appear to have taken out the BLU Gangster Group, the camera cuts to a BLU Soldier in a large vehicle armed with saws, making it look like the BLU Soldier is going to have a Last Villain Stand. The camera then cuts to the entrance the BLU Soldier is driving through being armed with tons of sticky bombs, which detonate and take out the threat instantly.
- Axe Before Entering: In Dat Intelligence, the Serious Spy tries to take apart the grated fence door keeping him and Wacky Spy imprisoned with a revved up chainsaw. The chainsaw does nothing to the door at all, despite how flimsy the fence door appears. RED Heavy has to use a key for the fence door (even though there's no lock) and the door disappears.
- The Bad Guy Wins: In Dat Intelligence is Captured, while the BLU Gangster Group fail to kill Spaaps and his allies, they successfully steal the RED Team's intelligence, with one briefcase holding a bar of Australium.
- Battle Discretion Shot: As Spaaps & Co prepare to take on a group of BLU Team members, the RED Gibus Heavy blasts them away with a Sticky Jumper and takes all of the BLU Team on with a RED Medic. The scene cuts to a different perspective just before RED Heavy starts landing blows. When the video goes back to the Gibus Heavy's perspective, the Heavy and his Medic are perfectly fine and the BLU Team are nowhere to be found, implying that he defeated all of the BLU enemies despite being outnumbered.
- Big Bad: The BLU Gangster Group, a group of BLU Team members that conspire to steal the RED intelligence, and in Who Captured Dat Intelligence, also kidnap 7 RED Medics to force them to make what is presumably drugs for them.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: A scene in Dat Intelligence that is essentially Rubberfruit's Scout gets sent to the Penal Zone but with different characters, suddenly freezes with a loading sign identical to the buffering circles used in Youtube videos when a video is loading. Then the camera zooms out to reveal that the earlier scene was something the BLU Scout was watching on the television.
- The Cartel: The BLU Gangster Group, who kidnap several RED Medics to produce a powdered drug that the BLU Medic is visibly shown enjoying with much ecstasy.
- The Cavalry Arrives Late: Two RED Heavies and a Medic prepare to charge into the room where the BLU Team members are with guns blazing. Once they actually charge in, the battle and conflict has already ended with the BLU enemies dealt with already.
- Decoy Protagonist: The two RED Spies at the beginning of Dat Intelligence do take the titular intelligence but are taken down and captured by a BLU Scout intercepting them. From then on, the video focuses on the RED Heavy coming to their rescue.
- Deranged Animation: Like many GMod videos for TF2, the characters make a lot of wacky faces and can move around in very odd manners, Wacky Spy's movement being like that of a fluid cartoon character's overall.
- Disney Death: In the climax of Who Captured Dat Intelligence, BLU Spy shoots at Spaaps, but Wacky Spy quickly zips in and appears to be Taking the Bullet for Spaaps, and it appears the Wacky Spy has perished from his Heroic Sacrifice. As Serious Spy mourns his death, Wacky Spy turns out to be alive, faking his death with the Dead Ringer.
- Divergent Character Evolution: The two RED Spies from the first part of the series return in Who Captured Dat Intelligence, with different hats to both tell them apart and to contrast their mannerisms.
- Frying Pan of Doom: The RED Gibus Scout's main weapon of choice.
- Dude in Distress: The two RED Spies in Dat Intelligence end up getting captured and requiring rescue from their RED Heavy friend, and most of the RED Medics in Who Captured Dat Intelligence are kidnapped by the BLU Team, with the protagonists saving them at the end.
- Hammerspace: Wacky Spy's hat in Who Captured Dat Intelligence can fit the character himself inside it, and can move around inside the hat, making it appear as if the hat is moving itself. When dealing with two BLU Soldiers, they inspect Wacky Spy's hat only for it to expand and drag the two Soldiers in. The hat then starts bouncing around and stretches to show the Wacky Spy beating up the two Soldiers into submission all inside the hat, before launching them out of the hat.
- Hero Stole My Bike: Detective Lime decides to head to the BLU Gangster Group's base using a van out in the open and carries his friends along, and conveniently finds the key from a compartment above him. This is all to look for Spaaps. The van they take turns out to be Spaaps', as when he and his allies go outside, just after Detective Lime leaves to look for Spaaps, he's greatly shocked at his van missing.
- High-Pressure Emotion: Spaaps' head turns red and emits steam in fury when he sees a BLU Spy disguised as him.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: The RED Gibus Scout likes to annoy Spaaps by colliding with him and whacking him with his frying pan, to the point where Spaaps throws him into a cage. Later in Dat Intelligence Is Captured where the BLU Team has captured Spaaps and his allies and is about to execute them, the Gibus Scout, freed from the cage, finds the RED team in peril, and saves them by throwing his pan at them, which somehow ricochets everywhere and cuts the rope and bonds restraining the captured RED mercenaries in the process, before tackling the BLU Spy head-on.
- Look Behind You: The RED Heavy steals a key from a BLU Pyro by pointing Pyro to look in another direction. The Pyro falls for it and the Heavy slaps him away, making the Pyro drop his key.
- MacGuffin: The intelligence briefcases, as the titles indicate.
- Medium Blending: The RED Medic in Dat Intelligence is Captured suffers head trauma because of the RED Scout he's operating on by accident, and goes through an Disney Acid Sequence where everything is animated in Source Filmmaker instead of Garry's Mod as the videos normally are.
- Rocket Jump: The RED Heavy in Dat Intelligence uses a ton of stickies from the Sticky Jumper to launch himself toward his destination. In Who Captured Dat Intelligence, the same Heavy does it again to reach the BLU Team as he did before.
- Shapes of Disappearance: In "Who Captured Dat Intelligence'', Spaaps and his allies attempt to get to their van to go somewhere, unaware that the van was already taken. When they find out, the camera shows a blinking afterimage of the missing van.
- Signature Headgear: In Who Captured Dat Intelligence, the Serious Spy wears a Medic's Mountain Cap while the Wacky Spy wears a Dr's Dapper Topper, a sillier hat in comparison to the former Spy's, not only distinguishing themselves from each other but from the other RED Spies in the video.
- Stab the Picture: As a BLU Spy orders the rest of his team to kill Spaaps, he burns up a picture of Spaaps in the process as he tells them that he wants him and his cohorts dead.
- Storming the Castle: The action begins to pick up at the second half of Who Captured Dat Intelligence when the RED Team break into the BLU Gangster Group's hideout, dealing with their security in the process.
- Storybook Opening: Dat Intelligence is Captured and Who Captured Dat Intelligence begin with a RED Sniper telling a story to a RED Scout and Pyro from a book called "Dat Intelligence", and the plot for both videos is initiated as he opens the book and begins reading, starting with "Once upon a time..."
- Swallowed a Fly: One of the Heavies on the van ride to the BLU Team's hideout accidentally swallows a fly since their heads are sticking out of the vehicle.
- Worthless Treasure Twist: The BLU intelligence the RED Spies were trying to take only contained a Gibus hat, which is reputable among many similar videos as a worthless if not easy to get hat. The RED Heavy is still more than happy to accept it and proudly wears it regardless.
