* General fake patch note ideas:
 
** Renamed [[Unusual]] and [[Strange]] to Ordinary and Very Regular. They're not unusual or strange anymore, it's been 10 years, guys.
 
** The Demoman has sobered up, resulting in the following changes:
 
*** The [[Bottle]] and [[Scottish Handshake]] has been replaced with a glass of milk.
 
*** Flying above 15 meters in the air causes the Demoman to scream due to his fear of heights.
 
*** Voice lines no longer randomly cut out due to the Demoman falling asleep.
 
*** He no longer tries to drink from [[Frying Pan|a pan]] or [[Conscientious Objector|a sign]].
 
*** The [[Ullapool Caber]] can now be thrown, like a sober person would...
 
** Fixed a bug that caused German translations to show up in English (e.g. "OverCharge" appearing as "ÜberCharge", "[[Ze Übermensch|The Superhuman]]" appearing as "Ze Übermensch").
 
** Fixed a bug that caused trucks on maps to not be driveable.

  • Lego Update
Legofy the characters and some of the items.
It would probably be a lot of work to make Legofied versions one or two of the more notable taunts and Meet the Teams, but funny. (I'm thinking "Meet the Sniper" with a Legofied Sniper would be a natural.) (Or a stop action "Meet the Heavy" with actual Legos)
  • 90% Gib odds with Lego gibs when Lego cosmetics are equipped.

I like it, but since it has already been done by someone else, I don't think using an existing idea is very good.
We could certainly put a twist on this idea, like "No-Zatoichi" (GrampaSwood's suggestion) or something like that. — Tark 16:01, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

  • Badly translated tf2 wiki.
In the vein of the popularity of running popular games or historical events through a translator to obtain funny reactions,
The main page of the wiki would receive its text (except language bar text) changed from a pool of X randomized variants that would have been passed ahead of time through a hyper-translator 50–100 times or more (keeping only the results that are funny).
The language selection bar would have the current selected language being Australian instead of English. Below all the languages would be a notice informing in English that the viewer might want to click on a link present in the notice if they don't understand anything, bringing them back to the normal page, and cite between parenthesis that it may be due to lack of virility and a mustache in general.

Example: The Über Update is a major content update for Team Fortress 2 and was released on June 23, 2011 Patch. It was heralded as "The biggest, most ambitious update in the history of Team Fortress 2." Similar to other major updates, such as the Sniper vs. Spy Update and the Engineer Update, the Über Update followed a four-day-long system of daily content previews, the last of which featured the release of Meet the Medic.
⬇️
Turns into: It was completely Up here is a major update released on June 23, 2011. It is called "the most big and fast" in the history of Army Squad 2. Technology has changed and improved, the It was completely Up here also includes the Meet the Medic app, which is supported in a four-day trial program.
