That Spy is an Easter Egg! Secrets in the latest TF2 video
Dyna Geek | 11:36 PM on 05.18.2009 25 comments


I found a lot of odd stuff and little easter eggs in the latest Meet the Blank video from the masterminds at Valve, that nobody else seemed to have noticed. So I decided to make a blog post about it.

Let's get started. As the Heavy, Scout(itsa' spy) and Soldier check on the intel and eventualley meet up with the Spy, there are two odd snippets that leave a lot to the imagination as to what or why the fuck they put those there. As the Spy walks in, behind him you can see a white box that resembles a vending machine. If you paused the video to take a look at what that was exactly, you'd see that it's a dispenser. But no ordinary dispenser!



A cigarette dispenser.. uh.. This isnt funny. Or is it? I think it's kind of just fucking random, we could have done with out it. Then again, it could easily prevoke some jokes about the GENTLEMEN meme, so that's worth something, I guess.. Literalley a few frames later, another pointless(or is it)enigma appears on screen.



No, it's not the nice ass. But it is a nice ass, either way. It's actualley that giant green leaf in the corner. Oh wait, you cant see it because Dtoid's uploader shrinks images and I'm too lazy to fix it. If you want to see the leaf, just check the attatched photos. Now, this can be a symbol of many things. Like, perhaps it represents the rain forests of the down under, where the Sniper hails from. Or maybe it's a subtle way to make fun of that the general setting of TF2 is a barren desert wasteland with a few military bases, 2forts and missile silos in it, discluding a few maps. Or it could be fucking pointless, I dont know, internet. The next egg is a few seconds later, as the Sp--Scout is fiddling with the knife.



There is obviously one of the upcoming head items lying on top of some useless junk piles in the corner there. It appears to be a football helmet, the Heavy's head item. A few scenes later, the next egg appears.



Jarate! The ancient art of peeing in a bottle and throwing it at people so they become confused, suicidal and on drugs. Or so I've heard. What kind of pee does that to a person? I mean, does the Sniper put drugs into the pee or does he drink a lot of liquid shit? I like to think it's the latter.



This has to proove that we'll be getting both the Sniper and Spy weapons in this update. The package in the picture is obviously containing a new Razorback for the Sniper. Why there is a graphic of a pig on it, is beyond me. Or why it says "Urgent something or another the next word is off-screen". Very odd. Shall we continue?



This is the last Egg I found, please, tell me if I missed something. Okay, yet another head-item revealed. The shark teeth for the sniper's hat that I've heard so much about. I kind of think he could have gotten something much cooler, but meh. They're just too subtle. Other classes are getting Miner hats and Football helmets but he gets measly shark teeth? :/

So after that Egg hunt, we're left with a lot more questions then awnsers. It's like an episode of Lost. If you find anything else, let me know.

Also, nice ass.

Also your leaf theory is stupid. There IS a plant on the intel room on 2fort

They are in 2fort if you haven't noticed

Also, it's already been confirmed that we're getting both the Sniper and Spy weapons in this update. No need to go digging around for that one.

I remember reading somewhere that someone spotted the Heavy's football helmet in the Meet the Spy vid.

Look at the Warning Light Wall right at the start of the video, there are more easter eggs and in-jokes than a supermarket in April on there.

Supposedly the scout's mom has the same purse that appears in the pyro's section of the footlocker (I checked the HD vid but didn't notice anything). Also he calls her a flower in french at the end, and again the purse has a flower on it.

Other clever things: Scout (spy) couldn't get into vault by himself. The scout also retrieves his knife from the sniper's corpse before going on to stab the heavy/soldier.

He calles says "My dear Caullieflower" in french at the end, which is a popular nickname between french lovers. Or so I've heard.

And the Scout's mom is fucking hot.

@Dyna
Show me a good gaming website where you can, at the very least, edit comments the first ten minutes you post them (stupid -but n4g does it), and I'll give you a gold coin. Generally, you can edit comments (unlike a forum post), so people don't retract the things they say.

Wow, congrats, you failed to mention a hand full of them.
I won't spoil the fun of course.

There's also a billboard right next to that cigarette dispenser with a picture of Saxton Hale on it. You know, the guy from the Mann Co. Spy catalog on day 4 of the update? Yeah.

@Kamizake: Dont be a dick, just tell us what I missed. This was only made to bring these eggs to people's attention.

There's a pig on the crate because wild hogs are often called "Razorbacks."
