History Memes / TeamFortress2

* (X) is/should be the tenth class. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A joke about labeling X character/thing as the additional Tenth Class for the current nine. e.g., the Sandvich is the tenth class. Ms. Pauling is the Tenth class. Saxton Hale is the tenth class and so on... [[/labelnote]]

* GET BEHIND ME DOCTOR![[labelnote:Explanation]]A line used when Heavy is being Ubercharged. The Heavy/Medic pairing is one of the most frequently used, often to the point of shipping and much HoYay[[/labelnote]]

* The Sex Update[[labelnote:Explanation]]A nonsensical (likely joke or sarcastic) demand that began springing up on Reddit in 2021 asking for Valve to add the concept of sex itself to Team Fortress 2 (usually known as the "Sex Update"), ignoring the fact that this would obviously bump the game's rating to UsefulNotes/{{Adults Only|RatingESRB}} and have serious consequences. Any update without sex, no matter how much content it may have, is (jokingly) seen as a disappointment by those (sarcastically) in favor of this demand.[[/labelnote]]

* Playing the [class name] class.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A phrase mimicking the way certain earlier materials, such as the developer commentary, referred to certain classes. Began to see wide usage sometime after 2020 - said verbatim, the phrase is used in an ironic sense to describe earnestly playing any given class exactly according to its original design. For example, in [[WebVideo/HowItFeelsToPlayTF2 How It FEELS To Play Pyro]] by LazyPurple, it's used to describe going on the offensive with the flamethrower.[[/labelnote]]

** '''WARNING: Connection Problem Auto-disconnect in 17.6 seconds'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Late into March 2020, a sudden surge of lagbots became a problem in Casual as well. These bots would act as a normal Sniper aimbot until a vote is called to kick them, which would trigger it to lag out the server, booting people back to the main menu if they are using default TF2 settings (specifically, a command which increases the timeout disconnection timer). This made it literally impossible to kick the bots, lest they risk the game getting cut off early. Valve would release a patch in April that fixed this, however. After this patch, lagbots have resurfaced repeatedly but were again fixed in later patches.[[/labelnote]]

* "You would not ''believe'' how much this hurts."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Scout's line from the end of "Meet the Medic", which became a general phrase to refer to any injury or painful situation.[[/labelnote]]
* "Archimedes, no! It's filthy in there!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Meet the Medic", Heavy is lying on Medic's operating table with a massive wound in his torso. Medic discovers one of his pet doves, Archimedes, playing in the wound and shoos the bird away with this line. In many Website/YouTube videos featuring doves, at least one of the comments will reference this line.[[/labelnote]]

* "I fear no [X]. But that... ''thing''... it scares me."[[labelnote:Explanation]]A snowclone from "Meet the Pyro", based upon Heavy's description of Pyro (wherein [X] is "man"). Used in reference to disturbing imagery, videos, etc., with [X] representing that particular form of media.[[/labelnote]]

* [=TF2=] Mercs - Tick Tock[[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvVdFXOFcjw A montage]] of fanart featuring {{shirtless|Scene}} and extremely buff versions of the mercs set to "Tick Tock" by Music/{{Joji}} gained notoriety in the community and eventually led to derivative edits featuring buffed-up characters from other games and franchises.[[/labelnote]]

* '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHgZh4GV9G0 "It costs $400,000 to (insert inane action here)... for 12 seconds."]]'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]A snowclone, courtesy of the "Meet the Heavy" video. The original line is "It costs $400,000 to fire this weapon... for 12 seconds."[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h42d0WHRSck "...Unless it's a farm!"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The end of the Soldier's rant in the "Meet the Soldier" video. Used to unfavorably compare something, such as: "And from that day forward, any time a bunch of animals are together in one place it's called a Zoo/Tzu. ...Unless it's a farm!"[[/labelnote]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNgNBsCI4EA "And if that don't work?]] [[MoreDakka Use more gun."]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The Engineer's advice in the "Meet the Engineer" video. Solves all problems.[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=han3AfjH210 "I'm a grim bloody fable, with an unhappy bloody end!"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The Demoman's line at the end of the "Meet the Demoman" video. Yet another BadassBoast.[[/labelnote]]

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NZDwZbyDus Professionals have standards]]: [[AffablyEvil Be polite.]] [[OneHitKill Be efficient.]] [[CrazyPrepared Have a plan to kill everyone you meet.]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]From the "Meet The Sniper" video. Actually a slightly modified version of the motto of the USA Marines, it is used as a general BadassBoast. The first sentence is also used by itself in situations where someone or something usually considered bad actually does something good for once (such as a robber returning someone's prized possessions and apologizing for it).[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcE_aKPXIlg "And now he's here to f(BLEEP) us!"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]From the "Meet the Spy" video, the warning that the BLU Spy gives to the BLU team about the RED Spy. Another general BadassBoast.[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36lSzUMBJnc "<verb> me." "Later."]][[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Meet the Medic", this short exchange between the Medic and the BLU Spy's severed head (Spy: "Kill me!") prompted yet another ''[=TF2=]'' snowclone, generally used for anything that will probably never be done: (Such as "Make Half-Life 3." [[ScheduleSlip "Later."]])[[/labelnote]]

* I believe in magic![[labelnote:Explanation]]A reference to the music used in Meet the Pyro, often in relation to something deemed glorious.[[/labelnote]]

* "You would not ''believe'' how much this hurts."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Scout's line from the end of "Meet the Medic", which became a general phrase to refer to any injury or painful situation.[[/labelnote]]
* "I fear no [X]. But that... ''thing''... it scares me."[[labelnote:Explanation]]A snowclone from "Meet the Pyro", based upon Heavy's description of Pyro (wherein [X] is "man"). Used in reference to disturbing imagery, videos, etc., with [X] representing that particular form of media.[[/labelnote]]

* "Archimedes, no! It's filthy in there!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Meet the Medic", Heavy is lying on Medic's operating table with a massive wound in his torso. Medic discovers one of his pet doves, Archimedes, playing in the wound and shoos the bird away with this line. In many Website/YouTube videos featuring doves, at least one of the comments will reference this line.[[/labelnote]]

* Speaking of Spy: [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dgUbRpdUN1w&itct=CCEQ3DAiEwiB0dOA96_LAhWVH1gKHYvQCyFaGFVDSk4wamVRZmY3ZVNzNDVObDNQYkRfZw%3D%3D&client=mv-google&gl=PH&hl=en Suprise.]] [[MemeticMolester Buttsex! Buttsex!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The spy's strategy is mostly backstabbing people and to do such, one must go behind the enemy player just to get the backstab. While doing such, it [[VisualInnuendo unintendedly looks like that he is performing buttsex on the victim.]][[/labelnote]]

* Tiny knife [[labelnote:Explanation]]Somebody drew an art of a spy traced from a photo of themselves and posted it on the game's subreddit. Someone else jokingly pointed out that the knife was small and the creator proceded [[CantTakeCriticism to have a meltdown over this]] even though it was not even intended as criticism. Thus both "tiny knife" and the OP's responce became memes within the subreddit[[/labelnote]]
** May you please explain this? How on fucking earth was your criticism constructive all you said was essentially "you drew this poorly" other comments literally did exactly what constructive criticism is, criticism that says what can be improved upon. I wish I didn't even get ropes in this, as your previous activity even in this specific subreddit makes you sound like a ultra-asshole. So for your "mentally debilitated child" mind, don't be a dick in your criticism.
