[Opening fanfare of "Drunken Pipe Bomb" plays as the Demoman narrowly escapes a massive explosion while jumping from a drop-down corridor in Gravel Pit] [Freeze frame] Demoman: "What makes me a good Demoman?" [Cut to Demoman, sitting in a room full of explosives] Demoman: "If I were a bad Demoman, I wouldn't be sittin' here, discussin' it with you now would I?" ["Drunken Pipe Bomb" resumes playing] [Demoman charges into battle along with Team RED while dodging a cascade of rockets] Demoman: "Let's do it!" Demoman: "Not one of ya's gonna' survive this." [Cut back to the Demoman's room, music pauses.] Demoman: "One crossed wire, one wayward pinch of potassium chlorate, one errant twitch...and kablooie!" [Cut back to battle, music resumes.] [The Demoman bounces a grenade off a wall and Gibs a pursuing Pyro] [Cut to scene of the Demoman chugging from his Bottle of scrumpy] [A level 2 Sentry Gun upgrades to level 3] [Cut to scene of the Demoman continuing to chug from his Bottle of scrumpy] [Sentry Gun fires rockets at the Demoman] [Cut to a close up of the Demoman's face, still chugging from his Bottle of scrumpy] [The Demoman dodges the rockets as a nearby Scout is gunned down by the Sentry. The Demoman then fires two grenades, destroying the Sentry Gun] [Cut back to Demoman's room, music stops.] [The Demoman slams the now empty Bottle down on the table, breathing heavily] [Camera blurs] Demoman: "I got a manky eye. I'm a black, Scottish cyclops. They've got more feckin' monsters in the [censored] Loch Ness than they've got the likes of me." [The Demoman starts to drink from the empty Bottle, then notices the camera and becomes lucid again] Demoman: "So...." [The ending segment of "Drunken Pipe Bomb" starts to play] Demoman: "....T'all you fine dandies so proud, so cock-sure." [The Demoman runs out to the final capture point in Gravelpit and is shocked to see a group of BLU team members charging towards him with smug expressions on their faces. A devious look comes over the Demoman's face and he runs with BLU in hot pursuit] Demoman: "Prancin' aboot with your heads full of eyeballs! Come and get me I say! [The Demoman covers a door frame in sticky bombs] I'll be waiting on ya with a whiff of the 'ol brimstone. I'm a grim bloody fable....with an unhappy bloody end!" [The Heavy notices the sticky bombs around the door frame, and his expression changes from smugness to one of shock. The Demoman throws a mock salute and activates the sticky bombs, gibbing all his pursuers] [The Demoman walks up to (presumably) a decapitated head, laughing merrily as body parts and blood rain down around him.] Demoman: "Oh, they're going to have to glue you back together....in hell!" [Team Fortress 2 ending flourish music plays, accompanied by bagpipes] |
Notes
- The Demoman's alcohol is made by 'Red Shed'. The Red Shed Distillery is the RED team's base on the map Well. Red Shed is also featured in Meet the Sandvich.
- The Demoman's grenade bounces, then explodes on contact. The ability for grenades to detonate on contact after the first bounce was removed in a later patch for both the PC and 360.
- The Demoman's unused Dynamite Pack weapon can be seen on his desk, most prominently at 0:31 in the video.
- The closing screen features the following disclaimer: "All information regarding Demoman grenade behavior was obtained from Australians believed to be reliable at the time. It is submitted to the possibility of errors, omissions, or nerfing without notice."
- The music that plays during the battle sequence — " Drunken Pipe Bomb" — did not appear on the soundtrack or in the game files in any form, similar to "Magnum Force", the track that plays during Meet the Sniper. Valve, however, added the song as menu music in the WAR! Update on December 17, 2009.
- Valve teamed up with KritzKast and ran a contest to decipher what the Demoman said during those few censored seconds. Winners were selected for most humorous but clean lines, most obscene lines, and lines most accurate to the original script.
- The titlecard displays "COPYRIGHT LOLOLOL" on the bottom right corner, a recurring joke throughout the "Meet the Team" videos.
- The RED team is shown to be coming out of the BLU spawn at Gravel Pit and vice versa, even though BLU is the attacking team.
- At 0:56, the Demoman's hand bumps into the grenade on his desk and it becomes active; however, it does not detonate.
- During the video, the Demoman can be seen with blank badges on either shoulder. The ending shot of all nine classes shows the Demoman with his original dynamite badge, later changed to a generic bomb and finally to the current Stickybomb shoulder badge.
- A parody of the video, named "Meet the Demopan," has surfaced and become popular throughout the TF2 community.
- When the Demoman charges at the Sentry Gun, a Dispenser is clearly seen. In the next shot when the Demoman destroys the Sentry Gun, the Dispenser is gone.
