* StealthPun: The campfire. [[note:Explanation]]Because it indirectly implies the gameplay style of many Engineer players who tend to "camp" around/behind their sentries.[[/note]]

->''[=TF2=] started with nine mercenaries, each with his own distinct personality. Because they live inside a frantic multiplayer shooter, though, the only facets of those personalities people got to see were the screaming, shooting, and being-on-fire parts. Enter the Meet the Team shorts, showcasing the mercs in their off-hours—arguing with their parents, barking orders at their head collections, or just strumming a guitar by the campfire. [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Also we made a movie about a sandwich.]]''

* {{Feghoot}}: The entire monologue in which Sun Tzu is confused with Noah is a setup for a pun about [[spoiler:a gathering of animals being called a Tzu (zoo).]]

-->--'''The [=TF2=] Team'''

-->'''Soldier''': "Then he [Sun Tzu] used his fight money to buy two of every animal on Earth, and then he herded them onto a boat, and then he beat the crap out of every single one!"

-->'''Engineer:''' [''after his employer tried to manhandle him''] I appreciate that you're my employer, and an old man besides...but if you don't take your [[PrecisionFStrike goddamn]] hands off me I will break you in '''''half'''''.
* StealthPun: The campfire. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Because it indirectly implies the gameplay style of many Engineer players who tend to "camp" around/behind their sentries.[[/labelnote]]

-->'''Demoman''': "What makes me a good demoman?" If I were a ''bad'' demoman, '''I wouldn't be sittin' here ''discussing'' it with ye now would I?!'''

--> '''Spy:''' So listen up, boy, or [[IBangedYourMom pornography starring your mother]] will be the ''second'' worst thing that happens to you today.

'''Scout''' ''[sarcastic]'': Ooh, big problem!\\

-->'''Administrator''': Intruder Alert! RED Spy in the base!\\
'''Soldier''': A RED Spy is in the base?\\
'''Administrator''': Protect the briefcase!\\
'''Soldier''': We need to protect the briefcase!

-->'''Spy''': And now he's here to [[PrecisionFStrike f[beep]]] ''us''!

-->'''Scout''': What are you, president of his fan club?\\
'''Spy''': No... that would be ''your mother!''

--->BLU Spy: KILL ME! KILL MEEEE!
--->Red Medic: (attempting to headshot the BLU Spy with his own revolver) I'm...trying...but...you're...invinc...able!

-->'''Medic''': I could do in ''seconds'' what would take other doctors ''months''! I could take men to the peak of health -- and beyond! I could make ''gods''!

-->'''Spy''': One shudders to imagine what inhuman thoughts lie behind that mask. What dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty?\\
[''cut to the Pyro's point-of-view: a fantasy landscape of colorful hills and the BLU team as cooing winged cherubs'']

-->'''Medic''': (excitedly shaking the jar it's been contained in) "Ooh, it hates me ''so much''!"\\
''Soldier grins and pokes the jar, the monster snaps at him''

--->'''Medic:''' (cheerfully breaks the loaf apart, exposing large, green masses inside) "Tumors!"

-->'''Medic''': We all use the teleporter let's say six times a day. Times four years. Minus we're not bread. Hmm.

'''Soldier:''' [distressed, [[MisplacedRetribution slamming Scout into a table]]] ARG! [[SkewedPriorities WE CANNOT TELEPORT BREAD ANYMORE]]!

'''Scout''': We both got buckets of chicken. You wanna do it?\\
'''Girl''': Eh, okay.

'''Soldier:''' ''(pointing at Engineer)'' You told me to.\\

'''Medic:''' Vhere? ''(grabs Soldier by the collar)'' Vhere have you been sending it?!\\
''(building shakes)''

-->'''Engineer''': How. Much.

-->'''Spy''': Oh, Scout. Please. Go [[SoundEffectBleep [bleep] ]] yourself.

-->'''Spy''': *gesturing to the mic* Say that ''again''.

-->'''Soldier''': [[spoiler:I teleported bread.]]

* BrickJoke: The guitar eventually made its in-game debut as [[CoolGun Frontier Justice's]] special taunt. With perfect timing and lots of luck, [[InstrumentOfMurder you can use it to crack heads]].

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Being the first Meet The Team video, there are a few early oddities. Including no title card, the old group picture and the Heavy having a Skull And Crossbones emblem instead of his usual fist. However, the alternate language, ''[=TF2=]'' Official Website and the Valve Website/YouTube versions of the video have added the title card and replaced the old group picture with the new one to make them consistent with the newer videos.

* HistoricalCharacterConfusion: Soldier attributes the story of Noah's ark to Sun Tzu instead. Given the setting's AlternateHistory and Soldier's loose grasp on reality, it might or might not be a misattribution.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: In one scene, Sniper snipes a Heavy in the head, which strikes the bottle the Demoman was drinking out of behnd him, [[EyeScream causing him to accidentally get the neck of the bottle into his (only good) eye, runs into a wall and force the bottle in deeper]], pulls out his grenade launcher to fire blindly out of panic, falls off a ledge behind him to fall into ExplodingBarrels, which explode as his grenades fall underneath the ledge with him. You can see the Sniper recoil back, and sound just a tinge sorry for him.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: RED team seems to be attacking in this video (they jump out from the corridor-type entryways to the points, attacking point A) and BLU is defending (Level 3 sentries near the point are common on defense), contrary to the actual game where RED defends and BLU attacks. Also, the Demoman plants 16 sticky bombs at once around a door frame, in the actual game a Demoman can only plant 8 sticky bombs at a time. Planting more would result in some bombs exploding until there are only 8 left.

** The Demoman is wearing the old stick-of-dynamite emblem instead of one with a stickybomb.

* [[AscendedExtra Ascended Prop]]: First appearance of Jarate.
* BoomHeadshot: Lampshaded.

* ConsummateProfessional: Considers himself this.

** "Oh."

** The Sniper impales a Spy on his Kukri.
** The Demoman falls onto a cluster of ExplodingBarrels.
** Hell, even Sniper climbing a ladder is not in gameplay; the developers wanted to avoid routes that would restrict player movement and stuck to stairways and ramps.

* SuitUpOfDestiny: The Medic. He does a PowerWalk right after..

* NoodleIncident: How the Medic lost his medical license--the only details we get is that it involved a patient waking up to find out that his ''entire skeleton'' had been purloined, the doctor involved (presumably the Medic himself, but never confirmed) was never seen again, and that the entire incident resulted in the loss of the Medic's medical license. A visual example is the Heavy's X-ray, which reveals he somehow got a ''nuclear warhead'' (radioactive symbol is there) lodged in his chest cavity somehow without it exploding.

* SurpriseCreepy: The entire video is really surprisingly disturbing - the Pyro's remorseless and brutal rampage is ''easily'' the most gruesome and frightening sequence in the entire history of the game and witnessing it ThroughTheEyesOfMadness somehow makes it ''worse.'' The Heavy's corpse, partially charred and with an ax stuck in his head, as well as the charred Engineer and Scout skeletons visible at the end of the video are surprisingly grim.

* SelfDeprecation: The Soldier has a hard time counting to 3, a nod to Valve's tendency to make only one sequel to their games and never make a third one.

--> '''Spy:''' So listen up, ''boy'', or a [[IBangedYourMom pornography starring your mother]] will be the '''second''' worst thing to happen today.

* StupidStatementDanceMix: After the RED Spy reveals himself, pay attention to the ''[=TF2=]'' theme snippet...
