History WebAnimation / TeamNeighborhood

** Since "Frozen Fortress" is presented as a documentary, the first set of credits are for that documentary, and like documentary channels, those credits are soon minimized to the corner of the screen for the continuity announcer to introduce the next show. In this case, it's a show about Creator/RichardHammond and Creator/JamesMay squatting in Dracula's castle. While this is going on the documentary credits quickly devolve into complaining about how hard it is to learn Blender and whether anybody will notice the background footage comes from the ''VideoGame/TotalWar'' series before the ''actual'' video's credits come up. [[labelnote:What it reads:]]I wonder if people will notice that the background videos are from the Total War games. Total War is very fun, go play it. It is usually discounted for very cheap during the Steam sales. Empire: Total War is underrated. Sure, the ship combat isn't that good, but it's a change of pace for the franchise. People love Total Warhammer. It doesn't have a menu video like the others. Oh well.[[/labelnote]]

* PapaWolf: [[spoiler: In "Bush Beaters," a ''massive'' Bigfoot rampages throughout the campsite after the ''[[VideoGame/MondayNightCombat]]'' Assassin kills off the beast's son.]]

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: The world of ''Team Neighborhood'' is this in a nutshell. Aside from the RED and BLU teams, dozens if not ''hundreds'' of characters from various games or media show up in every episode, with varying levels of importance to the plot. This is best emphasized in "Bush Beaters," where Team RED competes with teams consisting of characters from other major video games, including VideoGame/DarkSouls, Franchise/{{Halo}}, VideoGame/{{Fallout}} and even Ultramarines from ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000''.

* DeathIsCheap: Death is meaningless since the characters will just respawn. This means they can be hilariously mutilated without consequence.

''Team Neighborhood'', an episodic {{Machinima}} created by Greatdictator and [=Batman1138=], features the [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 RED and BLU teams]] (and assorted characters from other games) living directly across each other in a suburban neighborhood. There are also a few related videos included in ''Team Neighborhood's'' [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLjdQVMzYtQXd-xmJw5CY8e-pklIugC7T Grand Canon]], in which RED and BLU partake in similar zany escapades.

Each episode revolves around them performing some relatively mundane activity (like hosting a barbecue or trying to watch a TV show), but since this is a WorldOfHam, these activities are taken to their logical extremes, and thus, HilarityEnsues. Meanwhile, a mysterious third party has taken an interest in the teams' off-work exploits.

* '''HEAVY'S QUEST: Adventures in Video Games n' Shit''' (December 2014)

* '''Moments with Heavy - Movie Night''' (February 2015)
** The BLU House is in shambles after a particularly rowdy party, and Heavy is equal parts delighted to see that it's movie night and disgusted to find out it's his turn to do the chores. This video was made as a tribute to GMOD animator [=Kitty0706=] who passed away in January 2015.
* '''Soldier Makes a Video''' (March 2016)
** [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin BLU Soldier makes a video.]] He then goes on an epic quest to harass Scout for not liking it.
* '''The Loneliest Medic''' (February 2017)

# '''Team Neighborhood: The Grill''' (April 2017)

** With the BLU House internet knocked out, the Soldier goes on a quest to steal the RED Team's cable.

** The Scout is [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Classic Sonic]].
** The Medic is [[ThoseWackyNazis Hitler]].
** The Spy is a cigarette.
** The Sniper is a jar of Jarate.
** The Demoman is [[VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice Bosco]].
** The Heavy is a rotten Sandvich.
** The Pyro is Franchise/{{Spyro|TheDragon}}.
** The Soldier is [[VideoGame/WolfensteinTheNewOrder B.J. Blazkowicz]].
* PapaWolf: [[spoiler: In "Bush Beaters," a ''massive'' Bigfoot rampages throughout the campsite after the SMNC Sniper kills off the beast's son.]]

** In "Cable Calamity," BLU Soldier makes three attempts at stealing the RED Team's cable himself. And each time involves him getting killed because something goes wrong.

* SneezeCut: In Bush Beaters," when Frank the Shark attacks for a third time, the RED Sniper and RED Scout argue about how to fend off the former, and when Sniper brings up watching Animal Planet, the Scout says that declares he "doesn't watch that shit" because he's not a furry. Cut to the BLU Scout in his room, saying he feels like he's being insulted.
* SnowballFight: "Frozen Fortress" is a mockumentary around the world's 78th largest snowball fight, held impromptu between the RED and BLU teams after the BLU [[spoiler: Pyro]] throws a snowball at the RED Soldier. As expected from the series itself as well as the [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 source material]], it immediately leaps headfirst into [[EscalatingWar utter pandemonium.]] [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded by]] [[OnlySaneMan the BLU Spy.]]

** "Cable Calamity" has [[spoiler: a Spy robot spying on the BLU team, now in a funk as their television is destroyed. The scene ends with the Spy robot cloaking.]]

** "Bush Beaters" has [[spoiler: a Spy robot observe Team RED in the aftermath of their victory in the Bushman's Challenge. Assessing the RED Sniper as a threat, many more Spy robots uncloak behind it, and they all produce knives before rocketing off into the sky. The RED Sniper looks on the rocket trails with wonder. Meanwhile, the RED Scout recounts the events of "The Grill" and "Pool Fools" to [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas CJ]].]]
** While "Frozen Fortress" does not have one, [[CallForward it references the previous examples]] wherein [[spoiler: a Spy robot is interviewed by the mockumentary. It speaks in unintelligible, staticky RobotSpeak before cloaking.]]

* SuperPersistentPredator: Frank the Shark in "Bush Beaters" pursues the RED Sniper's troupe throughout, starting in a gas station then moving onto the distant campgrounds. He's notable since he's the first character who isn't a [=TF2=] mercenary to be shown ''respawning.'' Thankfully, he only harasses the gang one more time after his initial death.

** [[VideoGame/DeusEx JC Denton]] briefly switches to this in his dialogue shortly before he sabotages BLU's internet.

** The creators like to make light-hearted jabs at the expense of furries and [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the brony fandom]]. Although humorously enough the furries aren't really treated too badly compared to other {{Take That}}s in the internet.

* UnluckyExtra: The civilian who neighbors the RED and BLU teams. He's frequently punished for his proximity to the mercs, such as when his car is totaled during the Grill fight or when the two teams are freeloading in his pool. Appropriately enough he speaks using voice lines of Carl Brutananadilewski from ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce''.

* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. "Frozen Fortress" reveals the mercs live in the fictional city of Garry's Ville in Colorado, somewhere outside the Rockies. A brief interview with [[WebAnimation/TheGmodIdiotBox DasBoSchitt]] also hints at the existance of a neighbouring city of Evocity, GModdington in the same state.

* WorthyOpponent: [=RED=] Soldier is heartbroken when he accidentally breaks his Napoleon wargame miniature.
--> ''[[BigNo NOOOOOO!]] Napoleon! You were supposed to live! (Quietly Aside) And then be exiled to an island with stomach cancer.''

* ADateWithRosiePalms:
** In "Cable Calamity," besides the Soldier (watching a trailer for ''Game of Bones''), Pyro (browsing gardening supplies) and Demoman (passed out drunk, though with an active laptop), the entire [=BLU=] team is getting off on things on the internet, porn or otherwise before their internet goes down.
** In "Bush Beaters," [[spoiler:Scout is able to win the 24 hour tent solitude challenge by... occupying himself with images on his phone.]]

* TheInternetIsForPorn: Parodied in "Cable Calamity". 6 of the 9 members of the BLU Team go to their rooms to [[ADateWithRosiePalms have a wank]], but only the Scout and the Spy are looking at actual porn.

* BigBadEnsemble: "Bush Beaters" has [[ThreateningShark Frank the Shark]], who not only [[VisualPun pummels RED Scout in da butt,]] but also attacks the RED Team in the Fisher's Challenge and the night before the Parker's Challenge, Team Super Monday Night Combat, acting as the RED Team’s main rival in the Bushman’s Challenge and earning their ire by killing the Bigfoot, and [[PapaWolf Papa Bigfoot]], who [[RoaringRampageofRevenge attacks the RED Team]] after Team SMNC kills his son.

* AIIsACrapshoot: The Grill.

* TheStinger: Every main episode has one, which all has [[spoiler: Gray Mann spy on the mercenaries through drones and Spy robots.]]

** "Bush Beaters" has [[spoiler: a Spy robot observe Team RED in the aftermath of their victory in the Bushman's Challenge. Assessing the RED Sniper as a threat, many more Spy robots uncloak behind it, and they all produce knives before rocketing off into the sky. The RED Sniper looks on the rocket trails with wonder. Meanwhile, the RED Scout recounts the events of "The Grill" and "Pool Fools" to [[VideoGame/GTASanAndreas CJ]].]]

--> '''Man:''' (''distant and offscreen'') Ayo, what the fuck?!

* SnowballFight: The entire plot of "Frozen Fortress" is that of a snowball fight that got out of control.
* TheStinger: After every main episode's credits, there's a short scene of either flying drones or spy-bots observing the episode's heroes from a distance.

* FromBadToWorse: In "Frozen Fortress", the RED Team was already in a lousy mood after the [=BLU=]s beat them in an Upward match. Things got worse when both teams got locked out of their houses, and the RED Team had to watch the [=BLU=]s have a victory party from their front yard. The last straw was when [[ThisMeansWar someone from the [=BLU=] Team threw a snowball at the RED Soldier,]] starting the snowball fight.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''WebAnimation/MomentsWithHeavy'', which ''Team Neighborhood'' takes a lot of influences from, starting from following and expanding on the concept of following the ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' classes in SliceOfLife adventures punctuated by SurrealHumor and a generous dose of MundaneMadeAwesome. As a bonus, ''Channel Chasers'' reveals through BLU Soldier's thought bubble that ''Moments With Heavy - Movie Night'' is canon to this series!

** The Medic is [[ThoseWackyNazis Hitler.]]

** The Pyro is [[VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon Spyro]].
** The Soldier is [[VideoGame/WolfensteinTheNewOrder B.J. Blazkowicz.]]

*** The episode's ColdOpen shows RED Sniper sniffing BLU Spy's chloroform-covered hankerchief and getting knocked out.

*** Post-TimeSkip, the episode starts up the day after "Pool Fools," complete with [[spoiler: BLU Engie being wheeled way with his lower half still stuck in concrete]], [[spoiler:the Civilian and Miss Pauling picking up the remains of the RED Team's destroyed pool]], and BLU Heavy returning from his adventures fighting Nazis and [[spoiler: stopping a missile in flight]].
