Exploring the Origins of TF2 Taunts

[@Casperr]

Could he _be_ any more sarcastic?😅 I tried something a little different with the humour in this one and the fact that this video landed on April Fools is a happy little accident I will stand firmly behind should that humour have you dropping Fs in chat As always, thanks everyone for watching and sticking around this channel even when months go by between most uploads. By far the most rewarding part of this hobby is knowing that I can create something that brings joy, entertainment, education, distraction or anything else you might personally get out of a Casperr video, to literally 1,000s of people all around the world. I have a couple of "easy" ideas coming up which will also probably be a little different like this one - and by that I mean they will be different, but not in the same way as this one - so I'll see you again in a month or so. LOVE YOU GUYS

I thought the OTT joke was clever but maybe explain the word instead of the abbreviation so everyone could enjoy the joke! love the new style. edit: The joke in the beginning where you compare the niche rip off of alien is funny since we know you are joking in the context of a character, but then you point to the other one like you knew the whole time, which in one light might seem like you are try to get everyone in the joke to reveal that you knew that it exists, but you leave the audience feeling dumb, instead you should try just sticking to the bit and not talk about the movie at all. in the opposite light of the OTT joke, this is where you should assume everybody will get it. It's on a spectrum of statistically how many people will get it. Loving the new style!

[@C.A._Old]

Thats i want it origins & Reference's From Where take from place's! Thank you Casperr! :-')

[@C.A._Old]

1:28 Those who don't know TF2 always give wrong answers. Because Community and Valve did it early.

[@C.A._Old]

2:20 i miss Bay Raitt: TF2 Comic Creator...

[@grahhhhhgh]

frfr

[@BenjaminSteber]

Alfonse did not go after TF2 because TF2 gave him the nod by calling the dance “the Carlton.” Making sure that his contribution was preserved.

[@pumpkingpie2938]

Since TF2 has canonically happened in the 60s, the game was an inspiration for everything Casperr told us about

[@tuskedclover3308]

i cannot believe reality had to do TF2 dirty by not referencing their inspo

[@CerealAmoeba800]

1:28 it’s probably because valve called it the Carlton and didn’t just giving it a new name.

[@Gardeningismypassion833]

0:17 I like the fact that any banjo scene looks like a reference to this taunt 2:06 ahh yes it’s all a coincidence

[@timber740]

4:18 The whole idea of the "space baby" in 2001 is that near the end of the film David (main protagonist) is put into a waiting room where he rapidly ages, almost like a zoo. The entities analyze him before transforming him into an eternal being and sending him back to Earth. The ending was intended to be undiscovered and left with many questions.

[@Chord_]

Will say, Dr. Strangelove is great! I watched it for the first time around 2017-2019, and I've watched it once every year since. It's legitimately fun and funny.

[@maxresdefault_]

One of my favourite movies, i watched it for the first time a couple years back and was very presently surprised

[@eri5101]

I will have to strongly disagree, the first hour of the movie is a boring, uninteresting slogfest with a weird tone, and there are no jokes in that first hour despite it being a "comedy" and it takes way too long to introduce ANY characters of actual substance

[@denizmulazm4195]

Just in a few hours Shork, Elmaxo, Uncle Dane and Casperr all posted videos. Today is a nice day for TF2.

[@JonesCrimson]

What other games would people even play in 2023? Big corporate entities have ruined the Triple A and Online sections of games.

[@TalleyBellum]

You didn't even bring up the fact The Carlton was danced to It's Not Unusual which is a Tom Jones song Who Scout adores

[@cspcchcody]

Also to add one more facts, that the concept video for spy's disco taunt has Bee Gees "You should be dancing " play as a BGM

[@Valcgo]

The heavy KBG taunt was inspired by a character taunt in NES Mike Tyson's Punchout. Forgot which one.

[@calamityapple2044]

Ah yes, the Killing Boves of Gloxing

[@ThePiGuy1]

Probably Mr Sandman's "Dreamland Express"

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

​@@ThePiGuy1 definitely the Dreamland Express

[@uwize5897]

the rock paper scissors taunt is based on an episode of regular show. where they actually play quartz parchment shears.

[@Lucas_Jeffrey]

today I learned that Gary from the regular show, is voiced by the Medic

[@UltraxEmerald]

Scout did the Carlton in Expiration Date btw. Sniper also played his saxophone there.

[@samusfan2334]

2:16 nah mate you're correct. it's real life lore man, starting fights here in australia is hella easy and hella common.

[@guilhermesiffer4904]

How do you hear burstchester and see the taunt And think of a snack

[@danialao2356]

I think The Carlton wasn't sued due to the name litterally crediting him.

[@bespoke1017]

You forgot to mention the fact that the whole game is a reference to the 2016 hit game overwatch

[@NFGUN1T]

*The TF2 Wiki doesn't mention it, but the Rocket Jockey name is probably a reference to the game Rocket Jockey released in 1996.*

[@colorblue7018]

Thanks for reminding me how cool Japanese Snake Eater sounds.

[@owaine-changaming]

He didn’t go after valve since they actually gave him credit by calling the taunt the Carlton

[@-gemberkoekje-5547]

The carlton was first done by the duke of Wellington

[@PowersurgeProtogen]

I was listening to Wellerman when i came up with the idea for the Shanty Sailor taunt haha

[@respawni]

You forgot to mention everything is a reference to fortnite

[@Crazymanbos]

-_-

[@theghosttm8245]

Nothing can escape it

[@RSA-S]

Fortnite will die

[@ShafiqYoutube81]

then everything in TF2 is a reference to everything to ever exist

[@TrueConscript]

​@RedGoldDolfin after a few long year's of waiting, you finally found the joke! Congrats!

[@Thomas-vn6cr]

That high speed hovercraft game is actually really excellent, and even has a competitive community, so I'm told. I highly reccomend it.

[@TheFoolish727]

Didn’t think I would see Lucky Chops or Too Many Zooz in a TF2 video

[@TheMaskOfZack]

4:43 I don’t call it rock, paper, scissors. I don’t call it scissors, paper, stone. I call it scissors, paper, rock due to the fact that scissors(1st) beats paper. Paper(2nd) beats rock. Rock(3rd) beats scissors. And you repeat from there. I’m not judging you on how you say it. This just makes sense for me.

[@litebulb4rent]

Being an ex-Fortnite player myself, i can agree that the Carlton was totally from fortni-. I fell for this joke so hard!!

[@grahhhhhgh]

nah bro its from "Big Balls Sim 2017"

[@crazybird199]

It's ok, nobody understands the space baby.

[@noahcrosby9876]

This is a very high quality KZbin essay! Informative, entertaining, and not a high-energy cringe-fest

[@no-legjohnny3691]

I'm surprised you didn't go in further depth about the Kazotsky Kick. For those unaware, the dance is based on the "hopak" style of dancing in Eastern Europe, and I think some of the dance moves the Mercs do are even inspired by a performance of the "Soldier's Dance" by the Alexandrov Ensemble in 1965.

[@C.A._Old]

2:20 i miss Bay Raitt: TF2 Comic Creator...

[@Wika_Menenjoyer]

3:59 why is Benedict everywhere since I became his fan?! I literally see him all the time...

[@moony_otter]

I like how Soldier does a sort of Shoryuken for the default Equalizer taunt

[@C.A._Old]

Thats i want it origins & Reference's From Where take from place's! Thank you Casperr! :-')

[@n6433]

5:56 and this movement's original is Kamehameha from Dragon Ball. Unfortunately not enough people talk about it

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

Pretty sure it is Kamehameha, not Hadouken, because Pyro does a little "charge up" motion

[@FloppyWolf-v3v]

1:43 pissing off the entire aliens fanbase with this one🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

[@blockwearingman]

1:46 thought this was a spacebally reference

[@FayeTheNerd]

How old does Casperr think we are? Street Fighter is pretty much a world wide known game

[@kuzeyrl]

this video felt like a fever dream lol

[@Sirnutternolife]

3:13 i thought it was a referance to jack black with a toy sax

[@cspcchcody]

I mean it did bear resemblance

[@meowass1455]

I'd say the carlton is pretty much the reference in the name so you most likely know where it is from, fresh on the other hand..

[@Reactorjam]

Me after I see the thumbnail: I’m going to come find you

[@windowsvista3193]

I have watched alien 1-4 I literally have the 4 disc pack with alien 1-3 and resurrection I think it was and also alien vs predictor

[@Acethegerman]

0:45 Doged a bullet there bro be carefull the angry hord of haters hears everything.

[@Speed_2011-n3z]

"Need a dispenser here!"

[@julianh5864]

Lol anyone watching Deliverance looking for a cowboy movie is in for a nice surprise

[@teligraphe]

This entire video was just so he could flex his guitar skills

[@MowseChao]

All this time and I thought you were older than me! I am quite familiar with Haouken! Though, not because of the OG Street Fighter, but Street Fighter 2 Turbo for the SNES. Man I'm feelin' old now.

[@Casperr]

My first console was a PS1 when it first came out. Us old fogies have to stick together 👴

[@kosthov]

​@@Casperr sheesh if you're an "old foggie" i am an ancestral foggie, my first console was a mega drive

[@cambrianred995]

Bro didn't even go as far as to mention his name be Leo P. lol Great Vid tho none the less.

[@kaine2724]

[@brick_boy0891]

There were many things in this video that surprised me: You are 31 years old. john travolta is a scientilogyst. A 31 year old took a long time to come around to watch The Shining, 2001 and Dr Strangelove.

[@someuser4166]

[@BoyOHBoy123]

[@killermaster4088]

Casper can you make a video on all the tf2 events and the items they give, like the tf2 birthday event giving a free party hat

[@C.A._Old]

[@nicholastemplet1616]

[@Splarkszter]
