The Schadenfreude (pronounced "sha·den·froy·da;" [ˈʃɑ.den.fʁʊʏ.də]) is a special taunt for all classes.
When activated through the taunts menu, the character takes joy in the suffering of others for a moment by laughing at them. Each class has a different animation and taunt duration: the Spy has the longest laugh, while the Engineer has the shortest.
The player also performs this taunt when hit by a critical hit from the Holiday Punch, or with a random chance when using a weapon taunt during the April Fools' Day event (sometimes ranging from March 31st to April 2nd due to timezones).
For the voice lines of each class, please refer to the respective class taunts pages.
