* One of the Pyro's taunts has him shake his flamethrower over his head with a muffled bellow, like the Tusken Raider does after knocking Luke out with his Gaffi stick in ''[[Star Wars]]''.
** Additionally, his/her taunt when equipped with the shotgun/flaregun is a classic [[Street Fighter II
* The [http://www.teamfortress.com/sniper_vs_spy/day05_english.htm Spy achievements] feature references to several influential spy shows and movies:
** [[Burn Notice]]

* The Sniper has an achievement called "My Brilliant Career" (an Australian film from 1979 starring [[Jurassic Park|Sam]] [[Event Horizon|Neill]]).
* One of the Heavy's hats [[Memetic Outfit|strongly resembles]] that of a certain [[Firefly|Hero of Canton]].
* During the Halloween event, there is a chance that when you taunt, your character would do the [[Michael Jackson|Thriller dance]] instead.
* A hat was released as a ''[[
** Later, as another bonus to commemorate the release of ''The Sacrifice'' DLC, anyone who bought L4D2 before October
* [http://www.teamfortress.com/war/saxtonhale/poopyjoe.htm Poopy Joe's] [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|is the Pickaxe that will pierce the vault of the heavens.]]

* Several Demoman achievements, weapons, and battlecries are references to ''[[
** The Eyelander
** His battlecry of "FREEDOM!"
** "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!"
** Some of the achievements include [[Braveheart
* The Sniper has a bobblehead of the ''[[Team Fortress Classic
* The Heavy often says his fists are made of steel. This is almost certainly a reference to when Rocky was fighting the huge Russian Ivan Drago. Drago says Rocky's fists are made of steel. Now Heavy's fists are made of STEEHUL!
* With the release of some of the player-created hats, it really just begs for this. [[Futurama|Brain slugs]], for instance. The same update also gave us a nice [[Elvis Presley]] reference with gelled-up hair and sunglasses for the heavy, named "Hound Dog".
* A handful of the voice clips that play when dominating a player reference the infamous milkshake seen from [[There Will Be Blood]].

* Several items from ''[[Sam and Max|Sam & Max]]'' were added as a bonus for players who buy ''The Devil's Playhouse''. Cue [[Internet Backdraft]], as [[Fan Dumb|Valve was selling out]].
** In the same vein, those who preordered or bought Worms Reloaded within the first week of it's release received the [[Expospeak Gag|Lumbricus Lid]] for Soldier, which gave him a Worms style version of his standard helmet ([[Big Ol' Eyebrows|complete with eyebrows]]), and two [[Monty Python and
* The Medic has goggles in one of the community updates. Their name? [[The Simpsons (animation)|Ze Goggles]]. To further the joke, their item description is "Nothing", and that was before new descriptions for other items poured in.
** Ze Goggles, incidentally, are straight out of ''[[Ghostbusters]]''.
* The Dead Ringer announcement advertised that "[[Mark Twain|reports of your death will be greatly exaggerated.]]"
* AI bots go by many names, including [[Left 4 Dead
* The Saharan Spy kit includes a knife called "[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Your Eternal Reward]]" (Additionally, it's function, killing the target, causing their body to vanish, and disguising the Spy as them, is markedly similar to the Stealth Consume from [[Prototype (
** There's also a Billy Joel song also called "The Stranger" about ''putting on the faces of other people and becoming a completely different person''. Might just be a really convenient coincidence, though.
* The Holy Mackerel's item level is always [[The

** So much so that even though it was a community weapon, Valve went ahead and got 2K's permission before adding it.
* The Carouser's Capotain was initially submitted under the name [[Warhammer 40
* When the Heavy taunts with the KGB equipped, he will perform several uppercuts in succession like Mr. Sandman in the NES version of [[Punch
* [http://www.teamfortress.com/sniper_vs_spy/images/07_comic.jpg The Ad for Jarate] from the Sniper vs Spy Update is based on [https://web.archive.org/web/20130928141004/http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/7/8/9/43789.jpg?v=1 This] 1940's Advertisement.
* The Sniper's parents are an Australian [[Courage the Cowardly Dog|Eustace and Muriel]]! Confirmed by the artist herself. (It was a running gag in the fandom that his parents were Eustace and Muriel.)
* Added in the Replay Update, the [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Team_Captain Team Captain] hat looks suspiciously similar to the hat of [[Street Fighter|a certain dictator]]. The description lampshades this by referencing the infamous scene from the Street Fighter cartoon: "Our Lawyers Say 'YES! YES!'"
* Both Spy's talking, severed head and Medic's Halloween backpack with glowing green liquid inside are references to [[Re
* A Summer Sale promotional item, the Summer Shades, is a reference to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcOXf-U1ZRA this fine fellow] who lives up to the expectations Robin Walker sets for Australians.
* The Halloween paper seal mask is an Ascended Meme: Someone misspelled "summer sale" in the official forums as "summer seal", and thus, a meme began.
* In [http://www.teamfortress.com/replayupdate/ the replay update page], The Scout is pointing towards the screen in a similar manner to [[Mystery Science Theater 3000|Mike/Joel]]'s pose in most of the pictures of the [[media:
* The latest Halloween update introduced a mutant fly costume set for the Engineer. Fittingly enough, the set is called ''[[The Fly|The Brundle Bundle]]''.
** The update's backstory also has The (younger) Demoman reading the [[
* The [http://www.teamfortress.com/truemeaning/?p=4 comic] for the second Australian Christmas appears to contain a shout out to Engineer and Pyro fans, both of whom have received relatively few weapons compared to other classes.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJtpnsYdEKA An older version of Meet the Medic] has a BLU Spy beg for death while the RED Medic is trying to kill him, phrased like a similar exchange in ''[[The Ark of Truth]]''.
* The Medic's dove being named Archimedes is possibly a shout-out to the owl in Disney's Sword in the Stone.

* Amid other shoutouts already present, the Engineer's Gunslinger is quite similar to the Mini-Turret Glove from the [[Ratchet and Clank]] games. Given how off-the-wall TF2 is, it is right at home. Granted, the Mini-Turret Glove didn't require Ratchet ''saw his arm off''. The engineer's Wrangler appears as an Atari 2600 joystick (more or less) and after a minute or so of continuous fire your character will work out the cramps in his hand as soon as fire is released which can only truly be appreciated by someone who played a 2600 game long enough to get a hand cramp.
* The Spy can get a [[Bow Ties Are Cool|cool bowtie]] to wear. Its name is [[Doctor Who
** For added fun, wear the [[Cool Hat|Familiar Fez]] with it.
* To some of the fans and probably an unintentional shout out, one of the Engi's hats, the "Defragmenting Hard Hat 17%," makes it seems as though he's being [[Avengers: Infinity War|Thanos Snapped]].
