Team Fortress 2 is Valve's class based shooter released in 2007, where Scout is the fast, loudmouth mercenary from Boston voiced by Nathan Vetterlein. His in game voice lines became a staple of early YouTube poops, Garry's Mod videos and meme edits, with fans clipping single phrases for reactions. This best friends line circulated the same way, shared by players who knew Scout mainly for taunts and insults. It remains popular as a sincere counterpoint in a community built around decades of jokes, updates and team nostalgia.
