The GentleMentleMen meme (often referred to as Mentelgen) is a surreal distortion of the Spy character from Team Fortress 2, typically created using Garry's Mod or Source Filmmaker. It features the Spy's face and body warped into grotesque, inhuman shapes while he attempts to maintain his signature sophisticated persona. Originating in the late 2000s within the TF2 and GMod communities, the meme rose to prominence through 'YouTube Poop' style videos and bizarre community animations. It represents a peak era of internet surrealism where the juxtaposition of a classy secret agent and glitchy, low-polygon horror creates a uniquely hilarious aesthetic. Today, it remains a nostalgic staple for PC gamers and fans of weird internet subcultures.
