TV and Film
Get Smart/James Bond/The Avengers
Team Fortress 2 carries a heavy retro 60's style, drawing heavy thematic and musical inspiration from famous Spy films and series such as James Bond, Get Smart and The Avengers.
The 'Wilhelm Scream'
One of the stock sound effects used in Trailer 2 is the infamous Wilhelm Scream.
Scout can also scream this way. He does this sometimes when he is falling to his death or hit with a Crit. It was also the death scream used for the Civilian class, when it was originally accessible via console commands.
References in other games
Due to the popularity of Team Fortress itself, sometimes other games make reference to it.
- Matt Hazard: Blood Bath And Beyond contains a level which references TF2. You start in a supply room, and have to fight through a western area full of enemies based on various TF2 classes, and even includes the Meet The Spy announcement room.
- A BLU Level 1 Dispenser makes a cameo appearance as a "curious dispenser" in the Telltale game Sam & Max 304: Beyond the Alley of the Dolls. Standing near it makes the usual Dispenser healing sound, and clicking it prompts Sam to say "Look Max, free health, ammo, clues, cupcakes, and enlightenment! Oh wait, it's empty." Sam can then hit the Dispenser 8 times to hit it with a Wrench each time (complete with genuine sound effect), to open the bottom drawer revealing a "Banang" shake. Sam can also try to take the Banang, but the drawer closes again before he can grab it. (Max actually unplugs it out of irritation.) Demonstrated here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8NvCsHZ3zM
