Meet the Heavy 

Canonically to the comics, the director tried in every way to convince Heavy to talk about himself, but eventually gave up because Heavy kept talking about his gun

I like how he starts speaking perfect English when he talks about his gun

i like how sincerely the heavy speaks when he's sitting he may be a big scary russian man who doesn't speak the best english, but when he's not killing you, he's the wisest, most sincere guy you'll ever see

0:28 "It costs 400 000$ to develop with this engine for 12 seconds" - Unity devs

Bullet in Heavy's hand: an actual bullet Bullets in his ammo belt: *Crayola Crayons*

Did anyone notice that the Heavy fires his minigun for *EXACTLY* 12 seconds?

Fun Fact: TF2 takes place in 1968, so that means that in today's money it would cost 2.5 Million dollars to fire Sasha for 12 seconds.

I love how hes portrayed as the dumbest character in the series, aside from maybe soldier, yet you can clearly tell hes a smart guy hes just a man of few words.

Fun fact: Heavy has a PhD in literature, which technically makes him more of a doctor than the Medic, who lost his medical license. Edit: *Russian literature

How to not pay 400k to fire this weapon: Shoot for 11 seconds

Heavy has been outsmarting people with bullet for ten whole years now

Who's here after watching the voice actor Gary Schwartz reenact this IRL? That guy's a living legend

Heavy in game: crazed physco sociopath Heavy in the lore: a very nice smart family man

5 years later: realizes he is actually saying “cry some more” not some random gibberish

Heavy's not dumb, he's just straightforward.

Can we just say this: If that gun weighs 150kg (330lbs) that means Heavy can not only lift, but walk and run with a 330 lb minigun without breaking a sweat or even appearing affected. Dude's basically walking power armor

“It costs $400,000 to fire this weapon, for twelve seconds” [Music]

Heavy: Laughing Subtitles: *[Music]* I mean, it isn't wrong!

Heavy in the comics: has a PhD in Russian Literature, is very smart, and cares for Medic Heavy in game: YATATATATATA

It's amazing how the formats of all "Meet The" videos perfectly reflect each character. Heavy and Engineer's videos are very calm and pretty much fit the format of a job interview. They quickly tell the director about themselves and then prove what they just said by demonstrating their skill. Sniper's video is closer to an ad, which is fitting, because he's the mercenariest of all mercenaries. Saying cool sounding lines about his job, explaining the importance of it, all on top of having something of a motto with the "Professionals have standarts" line. Plus the music also fits the mood. Soldier (R.I.P.) has a motivational speech for his platoon. Bold statements, loud and harsh voice, not meaningful yet powerful lines like the zoo monologue and a montage that shows what a good soldier should be. Jane Doe is trying to act like a military officer, and you know what? He succeeds. Scout and Demo are them speaking about their life, their achievements and how they got to this point in life. They treat it not as a job interview, but as a friendly chat, so they tell much more about their backstory. They are both, at their heart, pretty nice people (yep, even scout) so they, naturally, want to tell more about themselves. Spy, Medic and Pyro are all very interesting cases. Their videos aren't job interviews or something like that; instead, they are short movies, and every one of them has an easy explanation: 1. Spy is NEVER supposed to give an interview. He's intended to be a mystery, something hidden from the public's eyes, lurking in the shadows, so, of course, the only way to introduce people to him is just by showing what he does from his enemies' perspective. 2. Medic also has reasons to keep some information about himself a mystery. His methods of healing? Experiments with humans as subject. His medicine? Wild, unethical and possibly illegal concoctions. Even his status as a medic? Doubted, because he lost his medical license. The only person who he doesn't bother to hide the truth from is Heavy. Again, the best way to get any facts about the Medic is through a documentary about him. 3. Pyro is physically incapable of telling about himself (I consider him a man). I would never expect someone who lives in a magical rainbow unicorn land with angelic babies to give an interview that even remotely starts to make sense, which is rendered impossible since Pyro is wearing a gas mask. So we're left to guess what he is, just like the other mercenaries, who give us their thoughts. This is just genius. The TF2 team is (or was) amazing. TL;DR: every "Meet The" video is a masterpiece on all levels.

The dislikes are from the people who think they can outsmart bullet

Why Valve has treated this game like it doesn’t exist anymore? This is Valve’s first youtube video.

Fun fact: Heavy is actually the second most educated merc. Medic lost his medical license and isn't technically a doctor, and heavy has a PhD in Russian Literature. Engineer, however, has eleven doctorates.

Gosh... it was 14 years ago, and still today, I am impressed by the facial expressions. That excellent animation was so "accurate".

It costs $400,000 to have fun at Disneyland.........for twelve seconds.

Fun fact: Heavy in the russian version of Meet the Heavy is very well spoken compared to the English version, a reference to him having a degree in Russian Literature.

"Some people think they can outsmart me" Heavy says with a degree

"I've yet to meet person who can outsmart bullet" Medic's default ubercharge: hold my Oktoberfest style beer

Heavy: WHO TOUCHED MY GUN?! Subtitles: Paul touched my gun. *I think the subtitles know something we don't.*

"It costs $400,000 to fire this gun for 12 seconds" At 1:05 he fires the gun for exactly 12 seconds *_STONKS_*

Heavy canonically has a PHD in Russian Literature.

0:18 something about Heavy proudly describing how Sasha works is oddly satisfying/interesting for some reason lol

Heavy: Laughs Subtitles: Music

The Heavy is arguably the sanest class. The Engineer clearly personally revels in mass killing via his machines, the Sniper fills jars of piss to throw at people, and the Spy is cold as ice and extremely apathetic to any kind of murder. The Heavy isn't a crazed killer, he just loves his job. And his gun.

A big, calm, educated and collected fellow that is pretty much kind to the common man. But he turns into a complete madman in combat.

Came back here after seeing "Meet the REAL Heavy", this game truly is a masterpiece

Fun fact: Medic is the only one on his team Heavy likes and has actual conversations with him.

"I am heavy weapons guy, and *this* is my weapon." One of the most iconic lines in gaming history. -Problably.-

Heavy: *"oh my god who touched sasha?!"* Scout: *chuckles* "I'm in danger"

hi im here to rewatch after the legend himself Gary Schwartz reenacted this.

“It costs 400,000 dollars to fire this weapon for 12 seconds.” *_The lad said, as he proceeded to fire his mini gun for exactly 12 seconds._*

It's insane how this game stays relevant even after over a decade...

Fun fact, Elon Musk with his current networth of 264 Billion could fire Sasha for abour 91 days straight

And now, we finally have a live action version of him. Finally.

Well, here comes the fact, that you didn't probably noticed. Heavy says that he didn't met anyone who can outsmart the bullet. This is actually a reference to the Russian phrase ,,on the battlefield, the dumbest is the bullet", and Heavy has a PhD in Russian Literature. He's basically saying that his enemies are more dumb than the bullet.

Subtitles:"Paul touched my gun" Guys we need to find Paul

Fun fact: The Heavy's gun is named Sasha, which means Alexander, or Alexandra in Russian. The name means "defender of men", and the Heavy is a defense class.

This cinematic is a few months younger than I am. I have been playing team fortress 2 for half of my life, and I love every minute of it

One of the most iconic gaming characters in history and you cannot prove me otherwise.

In case you're curious, it costs exactly 33,333.33 dollars to fire his weapon for 1 second

Overwatch: Detailed backstory with overwatch fans crying about it. TF2: "I'm heavy weapons guy"

Paul touched his gun guys 0:48 ( captions on )

Heavy: “I am yet to meet somebody who can outsmart bullet.” Scout with Bonk Atomic: *Allow me to introduce myself.*

guys... it's been confirmed... paul touched his gun... Turn on captions at 0:46

Heavy: "Who touched my gun" Subtitles: "Paul touched my gun" Now we know

fun fact: did you know that the emblem on heavy's shoulder was a originally going to be a skull and cross bones, it was a prototype and was only shown in this video, (you can see it the best at 1:14 )

1:06 when that one kid has the battery operated nerf gun

i like how overwatch has like a billion 5 minute long shorts that all tie into eachother and every character has an elaborate backstory, and heavy just saying "i am heavy weapons guy" conveys more character development and progression than all that combined.

You have no idea how much I've heard this monologue...

dude cant believe that the heavy va has recreated this video IRL. TNX shork

"It costs $400,000 to fire this weapon for 12 seconds" EA: "write that down, write that down!"

10 questions science still can't answer! Who touched Sasha

It’s like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dwayne Johnson had a baby

Who else is here after watching the Meet the Real Heavy?

"It fires $200 dollar custom tool cartridges at 10,000 rounds per minute." "It also costs $400,000 to fire this weapon for 12 seconds." How much money does this guy have?!

I've just realised that what Valve did with this game's lore (especially comics) was one of a kind, at least for me. It's the first time a character from my country isn't just a walking stereotype, but feels like an actual human, with feelings. That sniff he does between "maybe"s is worth a thousand words. I don't care what Valve did with DotA or CS, it will forever remain my favourite game company just for this one character.

Somethings telling me that he’s a heavy weapons guy....

14 years later and he did in IRL

0:36 *heavy laughing Subtitles: *MUSIC*

His emotions go 0 - 100 real quick. 🔥

If EA would own tf2: 0:28

“Some people think you can outsmart me, maybe, maybe. I’ve yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet”. TF2 heavy

It's been 14 years, and we still don't know who touched his gun.

"Some people think they can outsmart me...maybe...sniff...maybe. I've yet to meet one who can outsmart boolet." Iconic line.

You guys don't understand how HYPE it was each time a new "Meet the" video was released

After so many years, so many hours watching SFM animations, it's a bit jarring to see Heavy as an actual, unironic 2010s video game mascot.

Fun Fact: All the lines here were actually the lines Heavy’s actor used to audition with.

It’s weird how incredibly calm and intelligent he is throughout this entire video. Honestly while he’s nowhere near has smart as the medic or engi he’s one of the most intelligent mercs of the group.

Fun Fact: Heavy backwards is “Yvaeh” which, in Russian means absolutely Nothing

1:15 the t-posing sniper in the background for a split second is funny

The car dealership guy describing a car you are interested in: 0:19

In the comics, Heavy is a weirdly human and sympathetic character.

1:10 the pure joy that you can see in his eyes is amazing

How nice of Valve to make an animated version of the real heavy! It must feel amazing to have an animated short about yourself. 😊

Imagine seeing Heavy Weapons Guy in Smash Ultimate.

“I’ve yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet.” Dead ringer Spy: “Are you sure about that?”

Nobody: The subtitles: P A U L T O U C H E D M Y G U N

And now we have the Real life meet the Heavy!

$400,000/12 seconds is ~$33,333.33 per second. [insert overused Half Life joke here]

To this day Heavy have not found man who can outsmart bullet.

I really like how the camera is often angled to look up at Heavy, rather than be at the same height as Heavy or taller. It gives a first impression of Heavy being big and strong. Good detailing.

Me showing the cashier my 100% discount coupons

0:41 i liked how he got prepared to yell, "alright"

"This is weapon" "Weighs kilograms" "Fires cartridges" "Costs dollars"

0:50 is probably one of the BEST quotes in the entire TF franchise, for sure.

After 14 years, the dream became a reality

"I am Heavy Weapons Guy... And- *holds up Super Smash Bros invitation* THIS..."

Meanwhile, in an alternative universe: it cost 12 dollars to fire this weapon for 400 000 seconds

Somehow, in one minute, valve managed to pack more personality into one of nine main characters than disney could over three full length star wars movies Edit: I understand Disney is not the issue with star wars and a lot more goes into making a movie bad than the company who produces it. I made this post as a simple observation, because Disney has ownership of the star wars IP they have final say over who is directing, writing, etc.

It's been 15 years, the internet has yet to outsmart bullet.
