I PLAYED THE GAME HERE IS THE VIDEO!!! I main heavy now!

Fun fact: according to tf2 lore, when demo gets bleeped out in meet the demo it’s not because he said anything really offensive, but because in a drunken stupor he accidentally revealed the location of the Loch Ness monster.

So, the Scout did get named after Jerma, but it wasn't something right outta the bat. See, Jerma was a TF2 player too, and he played a lot of Scout. Not only that, but Scout's voice actor was a fan of Jerma. So, one day, Scout's VA was given the chance to give the Scout an official, canon name, and he chose "Jeremy", which is, you guessed it, Jerma's real name too.

Fun fact about the medic: its been established in the lore that he cannot heal demomans missing eye. The reason for this is that the demomans eye socket is haunted

14:11 “I’m a black, Scottish Cyclops! They got more feckin’ sea monsters in the great Loch at Ness than they got the likes o’ me!”

The Scout is such a menace that he biologically figured out how to double-jump in the canon comics.

Some trivia:
-Engie: his family has been building machines since the 1800s and are responsible for building immortality machines for the mann family (2 brothers fighting each other with mercs from red and blue) and the administrator (woman who is talking to both teams during matches and updating you on the current state of the match) that are powered by australium (rare and powerful metal from australia that gave all australians mustaches. Yes even women, babies and animals). Pretty much has all phds you can think of.

-Heavy:
He has multiple miniguns, all with female russian names. His default one is called sasha and heavy puts it in a baby crib at night. He has a phd in russian literature. He has 3 sisters (one gets engaged to soldier). They live in siberia after escaping a russian labor camp. Heavy gives most of his salary to his sisters and mom.

-Scout:
His name is Jeremy. He has approx 5-8 brothers and was beaten by all of them. He wasnt strong but he was fast. He is from Brooklyn. He regularly consumes Bonk! Atomic Punch, an energy drink that contains sugar and radiation a couple hundred times of the lethal amount. He is capable of double jumping. His crush is Miss Pauling, the administrators assistant and assassin/cleaner (the after murder kind). (Pauling makes an appearence in other tf2 content if youd like to watch it ;)) Scout is implied to be a virgin. Every time he gets killed ingame, theres a 1/100 chance archimedes flies out of his blown up corpse, referencing meet the medic. He is cannonically a gift from god.

-Sniper: He is originally from new zealand but was adopted in australia after his parents had a fight after his father sunk the entirety of new zealand atlantis style and he was launched away accidentaly and landing in his adoptive parents yard superman style. He used a drug from mannco (suppliers of both red and blu with guns, hats and buy in cagefights), which increased his bladder massively and has to piss every 3-5 mins in a jar. He uses his piss jars as a fighting form named jarate. Lives in an RV.

-Demo: He is highly intelligent and sophisticated when sober but only able to fight when properly drunk. He has 5 active full time jobs, merc included. Both his parents were blind with an eye patch on both eyes. He made friends with the soldier from the enemy team. His alt melee is a haunted sword and he gets stronger with every head he decapitates with it. He lost his eye after peeking into the wizard Merasmuses (more on him on soldier) book, the bombinomicon. Medic restores Demos eye every halloween (Demo forgets this every time) which becomes possesed and actively tries to kill the mercs, making every halloween event cannon. After he goes sober for too long his liver started making alcohol out of his blood. Due to this robots meant to kill him from sucking all his blood out get destroyed as those cant stand Demos high level of alcohol.

-Soldier: Highly aggresive and a neck snapping enthusiast. He was denied enrollment during ww2 so he collected enough cash for a ticket to storm the beaches of normandy, in the 1950s. Has severe lead poisoning after consuming tainted water for years, unaware that all mercs have been supplied with clean bottled water, hence his insanity. He was Merasmuses roommate (hateful and powerful wizard with nonstop money and mob issues). Soldier ate all of Merasmuses "get killed, come back stronger" pills, thinking it was Merasmuses heart medication, making Soldier connonically immortal. Due to this Merasmus tries to kill Soldier and all mercs every halloween cannonically. His VA Rick May unfortunately passed away in 2020 due to covid complications, still being remembered to this day with soldier statues over multiple maps.

-Spy: He is scouts biological father, had scouts mom hide this fact from scout, making him think his father is Tom Jones the musician. Still cares and actively helps scout. Has very expensive tastes. His VA is both Spy and Pyro. Probably the smartest person when it comes to strategy. Has a cyanide capsule implanted in his teeth.

-Pyro: Singlehandedly the most screwed up individual on the team. Its gender is non confirmed. Loves fire and rubber duckies. After the teams were disbanded, it became a very successful businessman/woman/thing. Its vision is normal as all others ingame but certain items/cosmetics/weapons changes this to Pyrovision™, making the game look similar to meet the Pyro. Pyro was the last merc to receive its "meet the" trailer, several years after all others. Arch nemesis of Spy. Shares VA with Spy.

-Medic: Best friends with Heavy. Actively experimenting on all his teammates ranging from small changes to implanting orangutan prostates. Able to bring back the literal dead. Made a deal with the devil, selling every single one of his teammates souls to the devil for more lives. Possible ties to ww2 germany. The Spy head in his fridge is a reference to his prototype meet the medic trailer (available to watch on youtube). Medic has a Surgeon Simulator VR collab where you have to replace heavys heart.

Will change/add stuff as more comes to mind or is suggested.

Sry for the long post, heres a 🥔

1:59  “ that is the most American man I’ve ever ever seen in my life”

Soldier : “hold my rocket launcher maggot!…….Actually no wait, give that back!”

12:21 the face is priceless

Now you're in the TF2 content rabbit hole. You can't escape until you react to every tf2 video on youtube.

Someone in the chat said Scout's from Brooklyn. Scout is from Boston. He's a Southie boy.

Just to clarify, Jerma got his start on Youtube posting Tf2 content, and got really big, so much so that Nathan Vetterlein, the voice actor for scout came onto his stream multiple times and they had really hit it off, and years later, The Naked and The Dead, which is an official Tf2 Comic, was going to include a scene which revealed the real name of Scout (and Medic), and during the making they allowed Nathan himself to name the character, and he named him "Jeremy" After Jeremy Albertson, aka Jerma

The best part about people discovering Spy's ultimate 'your mom' is how it manages to one up itself twice.

Fun fact! In meet the scout, scout pokes the camera and for the rest of the video any time it cut's back to that camera, there's a fingerprint smudge on the lense :)

Fun in Game Facts:

After the Meet the Medic episode came out there was an update that made it so if you blow up Scout there is a chance Archimedes will fly out

In the Meet the Spy episode Spy slashes Sniper’s face, leaving a small cut on his face which was then added to his in game model

The thing about Pyro, normally his hallucinations they are dull and muted and grey and sad. Sparkles and rainbows and candy are specifically how he sees *fire*. Fire makes things happy. He has no hesitation, no remorse, because he doesn’t see anything he is doing to be harmful. He is making things happier

1:57. You should totally marry that man. Manly, super smart, always chill. A ideal husband.

14:12
Apparently when he got censored it wasn't because he was swearing, but in fact because he talked about Loch Ness monster or rather monsters since he said something like "they've got more f*cking monsters in the Loch Ness than they got the likes of me."

9:27 chat. why do you know that?...

Someone in your chat said Heavy was the most educated merc. He isn't. Like, he's up there, with his PhD in Russian Literature, but Medic did have a medical license at one point, meaning he also has a PhD, and Engie has 11 PhDs.

Additional fun facts: Demoman's eye socket is haunted, and every time the Medic tries to heal his eye it comes to life on Halloween as some weird monster. Spy is canonically Scout's dad. Soldier is so insane because he drank lead water. And Sniper was actually born in New Zealand but sent to Australia in a very Superman like fashion after New Zealand sank into the ocean
