Team Fortress 2, released by Valve in 2007, has become one of the most fertile grounds for internet culture thanks to its distinct art style and eccentric character personalities. The meme ecosystem grew exponentially with the release of the 'Meet the Team' cinematic shorts and the Source Filmmaker (SFM) tool, which allowed fans to animate the mercenaries in surreal and hilarious scenarios. Iconic phrases like 'Pootis,' 'Engineers Gaming,' and 'Professionals have standards' have transcended the game itself. Whether it’s the Heavy’s love for his minigun or the Spy’s elusive nature, TF2 memes are defined by their longevity and a dedicated community that continues to produce fresh, high-quality comedic content decades after the game's launch.
