Fun fact: The cover art for the comic is a reference to Spider-Man leaving his suit in the garbage

[@justsomeplantcells-]

I love it how saxton hale just cooks on his desk. And that idiotic grey old man just out his hands on it

[@evee_evvillamar4477]

yeah! i know that it's also my favorite scene in the tobey maguire movie

[@peacock_spider]

Once I figured this out I love the game Waymore than I did before because Spiderman is my absolute favorite superhero

[@jockeyfield1954]

tf comics have a lot of covers that reference dc and marvel comics and movies

[@virtualashez]

And the Mann Co. No More title is a reference to Spider-Man No More

[@highspeedheadbanger]

TF2 needs its own animated series on adult swim

[@himayamata]

And hire the same voice actors! :D

Bidwell didn't accept the promotion because he know the little girl would beat him up.

Reddy was ready to brutally beat up a child to get that promotion

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

Reddy's goin' places, that's for sure.

[@ncrranger9154]

Saxton may be the manliest man but he won't fight a child 😂

[@bluntaidenpearce523]

Professionals have standards

[@thebeeking9633]

Is is bad that when Gray Man said you’ll have to beat her up I thought Saxton Hale was just going to go for it

[@talenrothwell7699]

Id do it.

[@yeboxpacf_2505]

As far as I know for this deal broken becouse of other side I kill the guy who planned this sick trick. I feel bad for Saxton Hale for this his manliness came to end becouse of fight againts child that was not even good. You know Saxton Hale could just punch her a bit as well. It may be harm a bit but not enough to kill or hurt

[@skeleton_kiddo5544]

He is a good man

[@louisBellz]

"I was sad! you were happy! so I killed Tom Jones." Soldier, 1968

[@sotnosen95]

1972, actually. You can see the date on Spy and Scout's mugshots.

[@louisBellz]

@@sotnosen95 didn’t notice, thank you, also forgot about these gonna rewatch em

[@TycoonTitian01]

Lol I loved the soldier and pyro acting like children and Pauling is like “I’m tired of this shit”

[@FiSH-iSH]

It’s Pauling. That’s her last name.

[@TycoonTitian01]

Oh thanks

[@bobesponja3702]

Can you really blame Pyro? He acts like a child in his mind and real world

[@mrmad5489]

Imperium Gaming and the pyro vision goggles

[@basedbattledroid3507]

I love the innovative way you dub, when you see a speech bubble coming out of Saxton Hale with two quavers; you hum _"Waltzing Matilda",_ and when you see the same thing coming out of The Medic's speech bubbles you hum _"O du lieber Augustine";_ it's brilliant. And I love that venture bros music. And even moreso I love your voice acting, got wonderful Maurice LeMarche-esque vibes from Gray Mann.

[@waltonkromer2702]

11:28 The look of pure unbridled joy on Pyro's face.

[@FiSH-iSH]

He’s just like °o°•

[@goldengifts3830]

Also 17:23

[@mati28287]

[@MindOfGenius]

The fact that Saxton Hale is humming (what I think is) Waltzing Matilda at 0:58 makes to perfect. Those little details make it so enjoyable. And literal sound effects seem to fit into the ridiculous nature of the game ^^;

[@TheAmazingFidget]

Yes indeed, Saxton is humming Waltzing Matilda.

i completely forgot i even commented that and looking back at it i am extremely confused as to how i didnt notice how confusing it was and at this point i dont even know if the mistakes were on purpose so im just gonna provide a rough translation: "We do not take kindly to murdering Tom Jones." actually now that i think about it it was probably just me being too tired to notice that i accidentally tapped one of the predictive text options lol

Cat the Destoryer | I once encountered a comment I had supposedly made the previous day. It contained words I have no memory of writing, and was under a video I had no memory of watching. It frightens me to this day.

For everyone who's concerned about the female voices, don't worry. There's a guest star for the upcoming ones.

[@PretzlcoatlTheFirst]

I love the fact that (slight spoiler) soldier was taken to the vet instead of a clinic

[@DerNamenlose1991]

when i was readin the comic and say FRONTIER ENGINEERING, i thought it was the engineer himself. anyone else too?

[@C0ZMIK5K1TTL35]

I thought so too!

[@harrygrant4122]

i think that's what they want, so it's an even bigger surprise when its pryo

[@FranboiseSenpai]

same, still wondering how Pyro could be CEO of an engineering company

[@admiralzaalkorisvasqwib-qw2547]

Because the homewrecker

[@FranboiseSenpai]

because he was beating machines with a hammer to remove sapper ? wow they became millionaires with that

[@HORRIOR1]

I really like Demoman XD considering he still has his mansion, he seemed to have saved up most of the money he got from beating the robots.

[@grandtgaming1940]

did you know that the demoman killed his parents while trying to kill the loch ness monster in the proccess

[@mdalsted]

[@FranboiseSenpai]

just one thing : how did Merasmus do to live with friking Tom Jones

[@FiSH-iSH]

Remember... _Magic._

[@ryanhernandez1877]

He can look like anything, but usually an old woman

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

I've always liked to assume that Merasmus is actually a _really_ solid guy when soldier isn't there to antagonize him. He just like met Tom Jones at a bar, and the two became buds. Since Merasmus didn't have a place to stay, Tom offered to let him move in.

The blues brothers music at the "I'm getting the team back together" had me laughing out loud when I'm the only person in the room. I don't know about you fellas, but I rarely laugh when noone's around.

[@Niccogamer01]

is jus t hilarious how Pyro just cut off Soldiers hand and he doesn´t even scream and just complains like a kid who lost his candy. . . I LOVE IT!

[@radordekeche947]

What I love about this is that A. Gray Mann is the only one of the three brothers to actually have an heir. and B. How much she want's to fight Saxton.

[@saxtonhalegaming]

Reddy was "ready" to kill. That's why he's my favorite employee! I just love his no holds barred attitude!

[@Bloody_bucket]

Reddy was ready for that promotion, I'm sure that she would have been a little red puddle in the little cracks of the floor left from the smackdown reddy would have given

[@overlord-6644]

Tom gets his neck shaped twice both indirectly and directly by a merc

Saxton: "Fight this child" Virgin Bidwell: "No, I will not fight a child" Chad Reddy: "Yes sir! For the glory of Mann Co."

[@toomuchtimeonmyhands5116]

Soldier: kills Tom Jones in front of multiple eyewitnesses and has photographic evidence of him in and after the fact. Also soldier: *I was framed*

[@deadlynicky]

my favorite is medic, I am really excited to see what his job is. =D

[@TheDborden]

Either He's a Back Alley Surgeon, or in medical school (Mostly because he lost his medical license when he remove someone's skeleton)

[@deadlynicky]

TheDborden maybe, But I doubt the medic went back to medical school because most of the time he would probably kill someone there.

[@himayamata]

I think Medic now works as a violinist in an opera

came back to this solely because it brings back a memory i never wish to forget

[@DerNamenlose1991]

at 15:31 you can see that the statue in the background has no head, like in the other comic where red demo and blue soldier used to be friends. it's the things for details that makes stuff great eh?

[@cherryjuice3120]

I like to imagine the time that Pyro was working in the business world played out like a melodramatic soap opera, where no one acknowledged that he was wearing his gas mask + other gear
