Spy & Pyro is an animated short by Andrew Kepple. It was released on Valentines Day of 2010, and has been described as Team Fortress 2 meets Looney Tunes with some other elements thrown in. You can see for yourself here.

Tropes used in Spy and Pyro include:

• Big Ball of Violence
• Canis Latinicus: As a nod to the Wile E Coyote and The Road Runner cartoons, both the Spy and the Pyro are given genus/species names (Espionagius Sapiens Mysentrii and Incendio Flamewaricus respectively)
• Couldn't Find a Lighter: While waiting outside the hospital for the Pyro to give birth, the Spy lit one of his cigarettes with the flamethrower.
• Feghoot: Spy. And Pyro. Fall in love. And then they have a baby. See Portmanteau Couple Name below.
• Memetic Mutation: Chell finally getting her cake at the wedding, BLU Spy's GENTLEMEN face.
• Must Have Nicotine: BLU Spy in the hospital scene. He's even willing to consider killing The G-Man to get his fix.
• Punny Name: Garry's Medical Hospital.
• Portmanteau Couple Name: Provides the source for the Just for Pun ending: BLU Spy + RED Pyro = Purple Spyro.
• Shipper on Deck: At the wedding, Gordon and Alyx are arm in arm as Alyx ends up catching the bouquet. Eli and Barney immediately nudge the couple and grin.
• The Faceless: Pyro remains this throughout the entire video. You do see her torso and legs, though. Turns out she's a BBW black woman- at least in Andrew's eyes.
