 * "The Vicious Cycle of ____" starts with a character running in, turning their head to see someone, then after the fanfare of the song begins, the mayhem starts. Each ends with the original character respawning. The unique feature of each video is the fact that it loops, caused by a glitch in YouTube caused by using pause annotations at the very last frame of the video. Here is a particularly good one

The Game Itself
""If you order now, I'll throw in a second beating absolutely free!""
 * Most of the characters' Catch Phrases have attained memetic status, some of which have become Ascended Memes. Outside of that, nearly all of their lines are fodder for getting mashed up with each other and spat out in-game, thanks to an easily accessible library of all the audio clips and a couple tools that allow playing back clips over mic chat.

 * According to fans, the TF2 dev team is obsessed with hats and does nothing else but work on hats all day. This has become an Ascended Meme, as even the developers discuss their obsession. Shown in this comic and on this blog post. They were also incredulous that Portal 2 had no hats in it, so they snuck into the dev team's office to add some to the co-op mode. Also, regarding an update to the fan-made Retraux demake Gang Garrison:


 * It has become such an Ascended Meme that, on certain pages of the offical TF2 website, the game is described as a "War-themed hat simulator".
