The 'Scout is Delicious!' meme originates from the viral Garry's Mod/Source Filmmaker animation 'The Heavy is Dead' by Antoine Delak. In this surreal and chaotic short, characters from Team Fortress 2 participate in a nonsensical murder mystery, culminating in a scene where the Heavy character inexplicably eats the Scout. The phrase has become a staple of 'TF2 GMod' humor, characterized by distorted facial expressions and abrupt, absurd dialogue. Fans use the template to celebrate the chaotic nature of the game's community and the specific, weirdly endearing aesthetic of fan-made animations.
