Meet The Team Videos

 * ""It costs $400,000 to (insert inane action here)... for 12 seconds."
 * The fan-made description for the Heavy Duty Rag brings this meme into the game proper: "It costs $400,000 to wear this hat for 12 seconds."
 * BOOLLET
 * "Some people think they can outsmart [insert noun here]. Maybe. Maybe. I've yet to meet anyone who can outsmart [insert another noun here]!"
 * "...Unless it's a farm!"
 * "Professionals have standards: Be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet."
 * This has gotten a few videos turning that phrase around: "Be polite. Be polite. Have a plan to be polite to everyone you meet."
 * "And now he's here to f(BLEEP) us!"
 * "No, that would be YOUR MOTHER!"
 * "I'm a grim bloody fable, with an unhappy bloody end!"

Community-Created Stuff

 * "Painis Cupcake"
 * "Vagineer"
 * Oddscout. It Begins. Oddscout is another Eldritch Abomination, inspired by the Slender Man.
 * I'M DED
 * (CLASS) IS (THING)
 * "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
 * UNLIMITED POWER!!!!
 * "____ in a Nutshell"
 * The HWM models.
 * nope.avi
 * POO TIS POW!
 * The Gibus Engineer Wildlife Protectors
 * Ricardo Hat
 * O.W.N. and N.W.O.
 * Then there's the memetic stereotypes based on the gamer's profiles, how they behave in game (in a grain of truth way), and what their game library contains:
 * Scout Mains are just as much of a Jerkass as the Scout himself.
 * Lime Scouts, just Lime Scouts.
 * Scout mains usually rushes out the door, first ones to die.
 * Pyros are furries.
 * It got a bit worse when he became brony.
 * Heavy Mains are so rare that their existence is Shrouded in Myth.
 * Or just the friendly sanvich tossing non-combative "Hoovey."
 * Engineer Mains are Dell Conagher clones, being as chill as can be.
 * Spy Mains are Hentai loving Weebs, who probably have games, like the "Hyperdimension Neptunia" series or "Mutiny!!" in their library.
 * If not they're edgy.
 * Sniper Mains are just edgy.
 * There's also the Fortnite and COD kids, who usually pick him since they think they're hot stuff or who mainly snipes in those games.
 * The Gibus F2P practice the fine art of Confusion Fu and are difficult to predict.
 * Totally horrible players that won't listen to advice and act as though they know everything.
 * Those who haven't bought a thing from the Mann Co. Store.

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.
 * Pootis
 * Gottam
 * Painis
 * NEED A DISPENSAH HEAH! NEED A DISPENSAH HEAH! NEED A DISPENSAH HEAH! NEED A DISPENSAH HEAH! NEED A DISPENSAH HEAH! NEED A DISPENSAH HEAH!
 * BONK!
 * "Spah sappin' mah sentry!" (and any " in' mah !" combination thereof)
 * SPAH
 * Scout's resemblance to Vince Offer. Became an Ascended Meme in the form of some of his domination/revenge lines.

 * Hat Fortress 2.
 * 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".


 * "Slap my hand!"
 * "Slap my ass!"
 * "See? See!"
 * The rare sighting of the endangered Spy Crabs
 * Eventually, became an actual taunt, a plushy, and cosmetic for the Spy.
 * Friendlies.
 * The Observer (aka The Watcher) just monitors and observes.
