[[caption-width-right:350:''[[TitleSequence Let's pretend it is the last minute on earth right now...]]'']]
''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzMq5_thk4o Team Fabulous 2]]'' is a ''[[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Team Fortress 2]]'' machinima created by the late WebAnimation/Kitty0706 and released on February 22, 2012.
Its plot follows an absurd deathmatch on a ''[=TF2=]'' server running MARIO_KART, with the only main focus being on a BLU Engineer entitled "Protagonist". Up until the last arc, there is no real plot to speak of - the film is essentially a ShoutOut fest with a side order of MindScrew.
In 2020, the ''[=TF2=]'' community came together to [[MultiAnimatorProject reanimate the video in its entirety]], as both a tribute to its original creator and a means of raising awareness for the disease that killed him: leukemia. Over 100 different animators bring their own brand of charm to the clips they remake. You can view the video [[https://youtu.be/OPV_3jkEpqI here]].
----
!This video provides examples of the following tropes:
* AdaptationalVillainy: Apparently [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Desmond Miles]], [[VideoGame/SplinterCell Sam Fisher]], [[VideoGame/{{Uncharted}} Nathan Drake]], [[Franchise/DeadRising Frank West]], and [[VideoGame/Left4Dead Francis]] are working for Spunky.
* AffectionateParody: Of your average ''Team Fortress 2'' match. If you regularly play the game, a ''lot'' of seemingly random bits and jokes will be eerily coherent due to being based on things that happen way too often.
* AllThereInTheScript: Spunky the Imp isn't actually named in the video. He's only named as such in the credits as well as a bonus drawing on kitty0706's Website/DeviantArt account.
* ArtShift:
** The scene before Spunky the Imp is released is completely animated, and Spunky himself is entirely 2D animated (as opposed to being a 3D model like all of the other characters).
** The remake (which is all 2D animated) swaps out the hand animation for 3D Source Filmmaker animation when it gets to the cartoon land.
* BananaPeel: Averted. The RED Heavy picks one up during a kart race, stops, drops it in front of an Engineer who is keeping the track clean, and drives off laughing. The Engineer groans and just sweeps it up.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: [[BadassNormal Protagonist]] and [[BigBad Spunky]] have a combined total of seven direct speaking lines in the entire video, and yet they're the video's respective [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Protagonist]] and {{Antagonist}}.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: BigBad Spunky the Imp is just as serious as the majority of the other characters in the video ([[MindScrew which is to say, not at all]]) and yet he manages to get an army, brainwash the entire MARIO_KART map, change all of its imagery into pictures of himself and his personal crew, and just about causes a ColonyDrop before Protagonist stops him using ThePowerOfRock JustInTime.
* BigBad: Spunky the Imp, a red mini-devil guy.
* BloodyHilarious: Duh. It's ''[=Team Fortress 2=].''
* ButtMonkey:
** The engineer who tries to build sentries but fails, thanks to the [[{{Troll}} Spy]].
** The Medic could also qualify, but then he AFK'd.
* ColonyDrop: What Spunky tries to do to the map with the Moon from [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]].
* CompositeCharacter: In spite of the two being separate characters within this very video, the fact that Desmond Miles and Nathan Drake are both voiced by Creator/NolanNorth with his regular voice means WebAnimation/Kitty0706 can milk it for all it's worth by giving Desmond some of Nate's more humorous lines of dialogue.
* CurbstompBattle:
** A Brief one between RED Heavy and BLU Soldier after the latter witnesses RED Sniper's last moments.
-->'''RED Heavy''': We fight like men. *Miniguns BLU Soldier in an instant* Dead.
** Directly after BLU Heavy's Ubercharge runs out during his RapidFireFisticuffs scene, BLU Medic goes AFK, leading to some SymbolSwearing from BLU Heavy followed by a (offscreen) launch towards a sign.
** Also the fight between Protagonist and Spunky near the end of the video, considering not a single shot was fired between them and Spunky was simply defeated using ThePowerOfRock and nothing more.
* DisconnectedByDeath: During the ShoePhone scene mentioned below, the BLU Engineer gets shot by a Sniper, causing the BLU Soldier's boot to start emitting a dial tone.
* DualWielding: A soldier is shown firing two rocket launchers in Slow Motion during the opening battle.
* EasterEgg: When slowed down, the phone chatter heard when [=BLU=] Soldier calls BLU Engineer for help sounds like this:
-->'''[=BLU=] Soldier:''' "I CANNOT BE BARGAINED WITH. I CANNOT BE REASONED WITH. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE I AM. I AM A ROBOT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING. I CANNOT BE BARGAINED WITH. I CANNOT BE REASONED WITH. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE- IT IS A FULL MOON. I HAVE TURNED INTO A ROBOT AGAIN. I CANNOT BE REASONED WITH. I DON'T KNOW WHERE- IT IS A FULL MOON. I HAVE TURNED INTO A ROBOT AGAIN."
* EvilLaugh: Protagonist delivers one after ripping off a pony's head and dropping it, though he stops mid-laugh when he notices 'Elliot's fun Box'.
* EyePop: Happens to the Protagonist when a pony asks if he wants to play, and again when he sees 'Elliot's fun Box'.
* FiringInTheAirALot: RED Sniper accidentally does this after trying to balance on RED Scout's shoulders and get a clear shot. He fires a shot into the air as he falls...and then it falls back on him, killing him.
* FreezeFrameBonus: One right after the LetsPlay parody.
* FunWithSubtitles: The conversation between the two Heavies on [[VideoGame/MarioKart karts]].
-->'''[=BLU=] Heavy''': Do you remember me? (subtitles: Doo Yooh Rhemnmmembhur Vodka?)\\
'''[=RED=] Heavy''': Yes. (subtitles: sandwich.)
* GaleForceSound: Several amps and a loud guitar riff are enough to let the Protagonist break out of the locked spawn room.
* HeroicBSOD: Protagonist experiences one after he breaks his guitar on the way to the final confrontation, though he gets himself together relatively quickly and busts out an even more powerful one.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Lampshaded by Desmond after Protagonist makes a really difficult shot at him ''mid-flight.'' This leads to Desmond quoting [[VideoGame/{{Uncharted}} Nathan Drake]] just before he dies, complete with voice:
-->'''Desmond''': Yeah, good luck pal, that's almost impossible to- *bullet freezes directly in front of his head* [[VillainRespect oh you did it, nice.]]
* {{Intermission}}: A 30 second Lets Play of ''VideoGame/TheBourneConspiracy''.
* InterspeciesRomance: Apparently, a Sniper has a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom kangaroo wife]].
* LetsPlay: [[{{Parody}} Parodied]] in the intermission. A 30 second LP of [[Film/TheBourneSeries Matt Damon's Conspiracy]]!
* LetsGetDangerous: RED Scout after BLU Sniper scores First Blood on RED Heavy: "GET DAT MOTHAFUCKA!"
* MindControlDevice: How Spunky the Imp is able to enslave everyone.
* MindScrew: Pretty much the entire video.
* MoodWhiplash: At first, the animation itself is a very wild and chaotic RapidFireComedy, though not long after the animation reaches the seven-minute mark, it, while still being comedic, takes a more serious turn after The Protagonist releases [[BigBad Spunky]] during his brief venture in the cartoony world.
** Played for laughs earlier when a BLU Sniper accidentally shoots himself. The moment is underscored by somber music and a BLU Soldier promises to send his condolences to the Sniper's kangaroo wife. The music is cut short when a RED Heavy flies by with his minigun ("We fight like men!") and mows the soldier down.
* NeckSnap: While waiting for the match to begin, a Heavy repeatedly does this to a respawning Scout. [[VideoGame/SplinterCell Sam Fisher]] also does it to one of the [[ButtMonkey Engineer]]'s sentries.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Spunky is released from some Spray-dimension the Protagonist punches a hole into.
* OhCrap: A BLU Heavy has this reaction after unleashing an ubercharge-assisted CurbStompBattle to the RED team and is caught when his uber runs out, his Medic goes AFK and the whole of RED team are poised to return the favour.
* OffscreenTeleportation: Heavy is able to throw The Medic at and then beat him to RED base.
* OrderVersusChaos: [[DownplayedTrope Order is a strong word for it]], but the BLU team is much more rational than the ChaoticStupid RED team. [[EstablishingCharacterMoment This is emphasized in the beginning]], where the teams are waiting for the round to start. Within four seconds, the RED team starts to spam voice lines until one of the Heavy players mows down several of his teammates in annoyance, and the room turns into a team-killing frenzy. Meanwhile, the BLU team has set up a diner, and they're having their favorite dishes. The round then starts, and [[ZigZaggedTrope one of the BLU players throws a fellow Sniper out of the spawn room and locks him out]].
* PaperThinDisguise: Spy, true to [=TF2=], attempts to disguise himself as an Engineer by wearing a paper mask. Desmond doesn't fall for it.
-->'''Desmond:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, that's very convincing]]. (smacks the mask off of Spy's face)
* PrecisionFStrike: Spunky the Imp's only line is to his enslaved army of soldiers, after displaying to them a photo of Protagonist, with the simple order of:
-->'''''FUCK HIM UP!'''''
* RapidFireComedy: Even when things get serious, the jokes come thick and fast.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: At one point, BLU Heavy, while provided with a Ubercharge by a nearby BLU Medic, stands in front of RED's spawn point and does this, instantly knocking back every RED player until the Ubercharge wears off.
* RedshirtArmy: Lampshaded - the last name checked off of Spunky's hit list is "Everyone Except Protagonist."
* SealedEvilInACan: What Spunky might have been inside Elliott's Fun Box.
* ShoePhone: BLU Soldier uses his boot. BLU Engineer answers with a banana. They are also [[ShortDistancePhoneCall literally two feet away from each other.]]
* ShoutOut: [[ReferenceOverdosed Oh so many...]]
** The title card has [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Plank]] as a part of the logo.
** During the spray scene, music and sound effects from ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio'' play. A billboard of said game also appears on the map.
** VideoGame/TeamFortress2-related [[Memes/TeamFortress2 memes]] and [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Derpy]] appear ''as'' the sprays.
** The two Heavies drive a kart around the track ala ''VideoGame/MarioKart'', with one of them even using a Banana.
*** Fitting considering the map they are on is the ''Mario Kart'' map, well known for being loaded with [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]] thanks to the billboards that decorate the map.
** One of the names crossed off of Spunky's hit list is WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy, another is ''VideoGame/AoOni'' and yet another is [[VideoGame/HeavyRain Ethan Mars]].
** As mentioned before, the moon is from [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]
** [[WesternAnimation/FindingNemo "MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!"]]
** [[VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon Spyro]] is the "dragon in [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]".
** Emeruga's segments from the reanimation are loaded with some references to Tokusatsu series such as ''Franchise/KamenRider'' and ''Franchise/SuperSentai'':
*** While the BLU Scout is charging into an airshot on the RED Heavy, billboards can be seen of ''Series/UltramanZ'', ''Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger'', and [[Series/KamenRiderExAid Kuroto Dan banging his head against the wall]]. [[Series/KamenRiderBlade Garren]] can also be seen staring, as per the meme from his home series.
*** The same scene also has a [[Series/KamenRiderBuild Touto flag]], the [[Series/KamenRiderOOO Taka, Tora, and Batta symbols]] in the starting lights, and "Naze mitterun desu?!"[[note]]"Why are you staring?!", part of the aforementioned meme with Garren[[/note]] written out in Japanese on the starting post.
*** Protagonist apparently carries a [[Series/KamenRiderExAid Double Gashat]] with a copy of ''VideoGame/GuitarHero'' installed on it.
*** [[Series/KamenRiderZeroOne ZAIA Enterprise]] has identifying marks on the speakers used for the climax.
* SigilSpam: Following Spunky's release, he changes all the billboards and other artwork on the map into images referencing him and his allies.
* SingleTear: Spunky sheds one before being defeated.
* TakeThat:
** In the weird cartoon land where Elliot's Fun Box is located, Protagonist meets... uhhh... "[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Rainbow Dash]]," who has the words "I'm Gay" in place of a cutie mark. Protagonist refuses its offer of playtime and rips their head off.
** Downplayed about 30 seconds earlier, in which Derpy Hooves is graffiti'd onto a wall, and the character responsible doesn't get any more punishment than the five other people trying to graffiti the same wall, though that is punctuated by a fart noise unlike the rest.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: During the montage where Spunky's minions capture the mercenaries, one of the names crossed off the list is "You".
* ThePowerOfRock: How Protagonist saves the world. Even though his guitar was broken he somehow ''manifests another one''.
* TheQuietOne: Protagonist only has eight speaking lines and Spunky only has one (three for Spunky if you count the dialogue in his introductory scene as his, and Protagonist's count is ignoring the scene where he uses ThePowerOfRock to defeat Spunky). They're also the respective BigGood and BigBad.
* {{Troll}}: The RED Spy who keeps messing up the [[ButtMonkey BLU Engineer]]'s sentries, and at one point even becomes his Nemesis after he kills BLU Engineer a second time.
* TropeCodifier: This is pretty much ''the'' gold standard for [=TF2=] machinimas.
