Line 1:
{{work}}
* While otherwise forgettable, in the French dub, Heavy is [[Arnold Schwarzenegger|Ahnold]] and [[Splinter Cell|Sam Fisher]], Soldier is [[Russell Crowe]] and Sniper is [[Dragon Ball|Goku]].▼
* One class is a known smoker: the Spy. This increases to 5 with some hats (to be exact, the classes are the Soldier, the Demoman, the Sniper, and the Medic). The Pyro carries a lighter, but probably for a [[Pyromaniac|different]] [[Captain Obvious|reason]].
* When the Engineer is gibbed with the Gunslinger equipped, his right hand will still be the normal gloved hand.
Line 6:
* The Horseless Headless Horsemann's Head and the Saxton Hale Mask have an unspecified bonus. Specifically, they protect against the Horsemann's Scare taunt.
** The Horseless Headless Horsemann doesn't do damage in the normal way. His attacks are treated as environmental kills, much like getting run-over by a train in other maps or falling down a pit. You can see this if you look at the console after he kills people. This prevents his attacks from being survivable in most normal ways.
* [[Image Source]] for: [[All Hallow's Eve]], [[Awesome Aussie]], [[Back Stab]], [[Battle Discretion Shot]], [[Capture the Flag]], [[Excuse Me While I Multitask]], [[Fire-Breathing Weapon]], [[Flexing Those Non-Biceps]], [[Friendly Sniper]], [[Good Bad Bugs]], [[I Banged Your Mom]], [[I Shall Taunt You]], [[Incredibly Obvious Bug]], [[Losing Your Head]], [[Meatgrinder Surgery]], [[The Medic]], [[Nice Hat/Video Games|Nice Hats/Video Games]], [[Overt Operative]], [[Parody Commercial]], [[Satiating Sandwich]], [[Schematized Prop]], [[Shouting Shooter]], [[Southern-Fried Genius]], [[Talking Weapon]], [[Testosterone Poisoning]], [[Top-Heavy Guy]], [[The Turret Master]], [[Twist Ending]], [[Two-Faced Aside]].
** Inspired the trope images for: [[Adam Smith Hates Your Guts]], [[Berserker Tears]], [[Friendly Fireproof]], [[Healing Shiv]], [[Moment Killer]], [[Paper-Thin Disguise]], [[Shoot the Medic First]], [[Yeah! Shot]].

=== Trivia Tropes used: ===
* [[Development Hell]]: The last four Meet The Team videos (Sniper, Spy, Medic and Pyro). The other five classes had been released relatively early on, but then it took 2 years to finish both Sniper and Spy, another 2 just to do Medic's, and another year for Pyro.
** Issue #7 for the TF2 comic's huge arc, it still hasn't been release in 2019 or the next coming years.
* [[Fake Nationality]]: None of the characters is of the same nationality and region as their voice actor, except ''maybe'' the Pyro.
{{quote|'''Chet Failzek, writer:''' We wanted to make it sound like what Americans in [[The Sixties|the '60s]] would have imagined these people sounded like, not what they actually sounded like.}}
* [[Fan Nickname]]:
** A Demoman wielding his melee weapon and shield is referred to as a "Demoknight" or "Sword and Board". "Targelander" and "Targe Demo" are also considered acceptable parlance for one with the Chargin' Targe and Eyelander. Likewise, a Demoman with a frying pan, Bounty Hat, shutter shades, and targe is called a [[Memetic Mutation|Demopan]].
** Bitter players have taken to calling the Pyro "W+ M1" (forward movement + attack) due to the (alleged) notion that the only thing you need to do to win as Pyro is charge forward.
*** His axe taunt has been called [[Guitar Hero|Guitar]] Pyro.
Line 36 ⟶ 37:
** '''Announcer''': One wonders if the same computer powers the [[Half-Life 2|Combine overwatch]], [[Portal (series)|GLaDOS]], and the team loudspeaker announcement system.
*** Put this way: One wonders if the Administrator worked for Cave Johnson as a secretary, and then went crazy after her personality was copied into [[GLaDOS]], and to cover things up, Johnson had her "sold" to already crazy brothers Redmond and Blutarch. And then the Combine simply copied her personality when they invaded Earth much later.
▲** While otherwise forgettable, in the French dub, Heavy is [[Arnold Schwarzenegger|Ahnold]] and [[Splinter Cell|Sam Fisher]], Soldier is [[Russell Crowe]] and Sniper is [[Dragon Ball|Goku]].
* [[Official Fan-Submitted Content]]
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Due to Grant Goodeve being unavailable at the time, in ''Expiration Date'' the Engineer's voiced by [[Nolan North]].
* [[Promoted Fanboy|Promoted Fangirl]]: [http://makani.deviantart.com/ Makani], a popular fan artist, created a very popular fanart of the Administrator, which eventually became [[Sure Why Not|her official design]]. She was later hired by Valve, and draws most of the comics that Valve releases these days.
** [[Promoted Fanboy]]: Tony Paloma (AKA Drunken F00l), creator of the immensely popular SourceOP plugin and the infamous idling program, as well as (unjust) crafter of a Golden Wrench. He ended up being VAC-banned. Fast-forward to
** Valve often features fan works on TF2's main blog as well.
* [[Prop Recycling]]: Noticeable in the interior of some maps are a pair of extension cords that go from one wall and plug into an adjacent wall. Playing PropHunt in different maps allows the player to notice familiar-looking props. The trope is averted with promotional items (even items that appear in another [[Valve]] title such as Bill's Hat), as new models are created to fit the style of the game.
Line 61 ⟶ 63:
*** The Sniper looked a lot older and crazier.
*** The Soldier looked more like he actually fought in the army.
** There were a few more ideas for Meet the Medic which didn't make it in due to killing the pacing and/or it not really meshing with [[The Verse]]'s general aesthetic ([[Noodle Incident|BLU Spy's still living severed head]] is a nod to one of the scrapped ideas). Finally, they settled on THE iconic image (a Medic
*** Meet the Sandvich had many scrapped lines. Some of which are:
