* 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".

* 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 Holy Grail|Holy Hand Grenades]] to replace his normal ones. A chorus sings out when he uses the Equalizer taunt.

* 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]]''.

* 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|"Doctor Whoa"]]. If you need more proof of what its referencing, it was released on the show's 48th Anniversary.
