The Pootis Status meme is a high-energy subgenre of the 'Bait and Switch' format, primarily featuring the Heavy from Team Fortress 2. It stems from the 'Pootis' catchphrase—a phonetic shortening of the 'Put dispenser here' voice line—and was popularized by the legendary 'Pootis Engage' animations by ceno0. In these memes, a suggestive or slow-paced clip is suddenly interrupted by intense, well-choreographed action sequences of the Heavy performing superhuman feats. It serves as a spiritual successor to memes like 'Revengeance Status,' used to mock internet tropes while celebrating the chaotic humor of the TF2 community.
