Science tells us that laughter is the best medicine. Put that theory to the test with the Schadenfreude taunt pack, now available in the Mann Co. Store, which gives all nine classes the ability to laugh at a corpse and see if it gets any better.
The TF2 Team

The Schadenfreude (pronounced "sha·den·froy·da") is an Action taunt for all classes. Upon activation, the player will take joy in the suffering of their enemies for several seconds by laughing at them. Unlike other all-class taunts, each class's animation has a different duration: the Spy has the longest laugh, while the Engineer has the shortest.

The player will also perform this taunt when hit by a critical hit from the Holiday Punch, or randomly when using a stock taunt on April Fool's Day (1st April) of any year.
