Team Neighborhood may be a Slice of Life take on the Team Fortress 2 mercenaries' life outside of work, but who's to say two opposing heavily-armed bands of guns for hire wouldn't be a cause for some incredible things when the time comes?
Episode 1: The Grill
While the premise itself (the RED team's grill transforming into a giant robot that proceeds to attack them) is mostly a recipe for hilarity, there are a few moments that stand out as awesome.- The titular grill kicks the RED Heavy so hard, he is sent flying out the atmosphere, solar system, and the galaxy!
- After this has happened, Spy immediately leaps into action, dramatically throwing three sappers towards the grill, all to the The Powerpuff Girls opening theme! It quickly turns into a Negated Moment of Awesome when the sappers harmlessly bounce off of the grill, though.
- When he is launched towards the grill courtesy of the BLU Heavy, the RED Engineer lands on top of the grill, and proceeds to ride it like he's in a rodeo, cheering the entire time, while the grill tries to shake him off. It succeeds, but this leads to the ultimate example of this episode...
- Hearing the RED Engineer's cry of pain after being thrown by the grill, the toaster he and Medic built earlier by mistake comes to life and goes up against the grill. The toaster then proceeds to transform into a Humongous Mecha even bigger than the grill! They then proceed to fight, which culminates in the toaster launching its ultimate attack: two loafs of toast. Which destroys the grill, bringing it down for good. In the end, the toaster decides to part ways with the RED team, which they do so with jubilation.Toaster: ASSUME ROBOT FORM.
- Earlier in the episode, the RED Heavy can be seen re-entering the Earth's atmosphere after being punted out of the galaxy by the grill. So, what became of him? Well, Heavy finally returns to RED's house at the end of the episode... in a tank. Whatever actually happened, it is obvious that the RED Heavy have had an adventure of his own in the meantime.
Episode 4: Bush Beaters
- It's quite funny, but very impressive that the RED Sniper drives out of the Fur-troit gas station upside down, with one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the gas pedal. And he does it all without crashing, only righting himself when the trio is back on the highway.
- With his usual weaponry unavailable during Frank's second attack, the RED Demoman cleverly improvises an explosive with a spare firecracker and Scout's unopened BONK cans. His concoction obliterates Frank's head when the shark is tricked into swallowing it. Pity that the RED team still lost this first challenge.
- He blows up Frank again during their final encounter, this time with a multi-barreled Loch-n-Load.
- Frank's second attack is also one for Sniper. While Scout panics, Sniper just breaks out his rifle and starts shooting Frank.
- Against all odds, the RED team wins first place in the Bushman's Tournament. During the celebration, there is a satisfying shot of the heavily bandaged SMNC team members, still recovering after Papa Bigfoot kicked them into orbit.
- The battle with Papa Bigfoot, starting from his grand entrance to the ensuing chase, is the series' most intense climax yet. When the RED trio is unable to escape from the beast due to Scout not knowing how to Drive Stick, Sniper decides that they need to kill Papa Bigfoot with the help of Demoman's strongest bomb. And when said bomb turns out to have a faulty detonator and will jam the grenade launcher, Scout breaks out the anal lube he got from the gas station to keep the grenade launcher from jamming. Ultimately, the whole scene culminates in Sniper shooting the bomb with a well-placed shot from his rifle, which then causes the bomb to explode and kill Papa Bigfoot, which also lands them the heaviest and rarest kill of all and title of Bushman's Challenge champions. For the very first time in the series, an episode ends with an unambiguously happy ending!
