I know this is not fully real life, but I HAD to share this.

This is a screenshot from a German internet review show about terrible German TV. The catch phrase is "Schalten Sie mal wieder ab" (= "Turn off sometime") and someone apparently contributed this little background picture as a play on that. I fucking lol'd.

http://www.fernsehkritik.tv/

This might not count but I had to share it somewhere

After years deriding my playing of TF2 as something 'eight year old boys' do, my mother finally wanted me to show her what it was all about. I was playing Scout with the Holy Mackerel.

"That... what's that?"
"It's a fish."
"It's a penis. No, no rotate it... yesss. It's a penis."

And she walked away.

>>270
Oh, that's amazing. Thank you for sappin' my awful programming, Spah!

But true. German telly is awful. Just awful. I practically moved to the UK to escape it...And for Stephen Fry.

>>280

I...noticed that too a bit, because of the jiggleboning. But my first reaction was to think of the fish-slapping dance from Monty Python.

>>282

Stephen Fry is awesome, I do think they sell Fry and Laurie DVD's in the US somewhere...

I'm not one for keepin' an eye out for this sorta thing really, but I was watching The King's Speech and had to do a double-take at this one old man extra.

>>3109

"Dad... DAD..."

May sound very unbelievable, but once I was cycling home, and passed a Texaco(gas station). I nearly crashed with my bike when I saw a guy, who had sideburns, and was wearing a hat, putting gas in his van.

>>3121
Woah woah woah woah

Are you telling me there are people with hair and hats that drive vans?

That's crazy talk, ma'am.

>>3154
She means a guy that looks like Sniper, she came to me after she'd seen him squealing her head off about it.
You'll have to excuse her not having English as her first language.

I saw this in a stack of discount DVD's and knew I had to take a picture of it.

These are a pair of streets in Milton, a suburb of Brisbane, near where I live. I discovered them when I was going to a job interview in the area.

Just pretend the C is an S okay

>>3190
Oops, Paddington, not Milton.
That's probably why I got lost so often during this week...

>>3190
I'm sorry, but I totally lol'd more at your searches at the top.

>>3190
>how do you say shut the fuck up in german
>how do you say "shut up" in german
>babelfish
Pretty cool find, though. We should all meet there and have a fistfight.

>>3238
I'm going bilingual!

Also I have a story that I must share, that I can almost guarantee nobody will believe, but I will tell anyway.
(I'd like to point out that this too place before I'd heard of TF2.)
A while ago, my family and I lived in a rural area, with a large property, and we owned some dogs. Our neighbours also owned dogs, and some of them were let to roam around the place unsupervised, which pissed me the FUCK off because the loose dogs would come over to our fences and start barking up and attacking OUR dogs. I'd have to jump over the fence and chase the loose dogs off.
After a few times, I thought of something. I didn't tell anyone at the time, because they'd think I was weird, but I thought "I have to speak in the language of these dogs because they just don't get that this is our territory."
...So I grabbed an empty jar, and used it to distribute my... message around the perimetres of our property.

Well, there were no dog attacks since!

Not sure if this counts as anything.

I work at a farm with this girl handyman, she wears a red shirt and overalls with craftsman knee pads since she has to go down on her knees to fix stuff like the fences or machines quiet often.

We are required to wear helmets around the horses and machines, but she wear a construction worker helmet instead of a riding helmet. Last week i gave her a pair of goggles, telling her they would complete her look.
She still have no idea what i mean.

>>3260
One day, you shall complete your Engie wifu.

>>3260
Politely ask her if this cloth smells odd to her and while she's out, cut off her right hand and graft a robot hand onto her wrist.
COME ON, she won't get the reference anyways!

>>3260
pics now

>>3318
You're asking me to be a stalker and posting picture of a girl on a random site? I'm not too sure she would like that, but if I get hold of a camera I'll try.

>>3271
Scary thing is that she actually been saying she someday want a robot hand or body part.

y'all should come to derby

we have soldier dick for sale.

He's a damn good cop.

Be a bit like pyro just for 29,99€

In your Norma Shop around the corner.
Just follow the light.

>>4246
I've used one of those. not really good for anything unless your target is less than a foot away.

they are however great for starting grassfires. just dangle it out the back of a truck and drive through the long grass.

even better, get one on each side and go 88mph

>>4253

>>4255
just so you know, grassfires are sometimes started for an actual legal reason. I forget what cause I'm half awake but yeah.

>>4257
I've used them at my old job too. I used to work for my towns highway department, basically road construction. We use those all the time while we're paving roads. We use them to heat up our shovels so we can get the tar and blacktop off of them, thus making it not weigh 30 lbs. You can only imagine the number of times I wanted to raise it over my head and do the Pyro cackle while using it.

At the library I work at, we have a blue cart under the drops for books. We have to check 'em and bring them to the back every hour or so. When I worked at the branch with my best buddy (a fab Engineer), we used to fetch the outside ones with cries of "We must push little book cart!" "Why can cart not push self?" and the like.

Made things a little more fun. A lot more fun when I dressed as Scout for Halloween.

>>4257

Grassfires are started after harvest to turn the dead, leftover shit into fertilizer.

Welp, I found what Sniper's doin' these days:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8153168.stm

Spoiler alert--it's protecting penguins. Itty bitty penguins called Fairy Penguins.

>>4773
>PROFESSIONAL snipers

  Octopus trying to get into a jar with a crab in it. Was watching it and suddenly imagining a red spycrab going NOOOO and a blu tentaspy trying to get it. Look how you have corrupted me tf2chan...(thanks)

>>4929
Somebody needs to edit this video into that, RIGHT NOW!

>>4930
here's a half assed pic! I was bored...

"Are they really doing an entire news story about hats being in fashion? In whose mind are hats news-worthy? This is stupid; I'm going to go play TF2."

Found this on lolsnaps

this is a pool toy that creates foam from the end of the gun.

>>5232
Ogod, if I ever cosplay Medic Ill need me one of them.

Here's an image I found floating around my image folder. Don't remember why I saved it, but it seems relevant.

I was driving home last night, and I noticed a new storefront in the small mall near me. MANN Pain Management Center. I laughed so hard, I nearly had an accident.

Yeah, how does that work? Saxton Hale comes to you and beats your pain to death with his fists?

When I was travelling with my friends to the camping weekend, there was a car in front of us at an intersection. It kept going on the same route as us for a couple of miles.

The car was dark blue and had the number plate "SPY 62". No kidding. Needless to say, we were laughing our asses off.

We WOULD have taken a picture, but what do you know, that VERY moment my friend's cell phone ran out of battery and it was the only cam we had with us. COINCIDENCE?

Plausible deniability. ::nod, nod.::

MANNS EVERYWHERE

The soldier had kids? Who knew!

>>5717
The Soldier's wife is LADY LIBERTY and his children are FREEDOM and JUSTICE.

>>5719
Hah! Win.

I saw this place on the way home from a campout - it reminded me a lot of a RED base (and I forget which one) but it just had this old TF2 vibe (and color) to it.

>>6838

I'd have to say it reminds me of either Pipeline or Granary. Probably more Granary.

I wish I took a picture, but not so much TF2 in Real Life, more as the TF2 font in real life.

If you ever go to Bristol Temple Meads trainstation, look for a stall near the main stiars underground: TF2 font's been used for their menus.

Girl heavy stars in Madea Goes to Jail.

Pyro from Greece.
That was a stick, then someone shopped it to be a Back Scratcher.

>>7071
Someone wrote DOSH on it (looks more like Mr. Foster's gas mask from Killing Floor) and I giggled.

>>7078
So?

>>7080
I know, I know. I actually have that one. I just think of Mr. Foster wearing it before I think of Pyro wearing Mr. Foster's gasmask.

"every gas mask ever" = "omg it's a pyro" is the tiredest and lamest thing in these sorts of threads

>>7087
This is true, but he also is using a rake as a weapon.

>>7091
the dang ol' post says straight up it was a stick before they photoshopped it
a dude wearing a gas mask with a stick still isn't a dang ol' pyro for any reason beyond "gas mask = pyro"

>>7087
>>7092
No need to bitch and moan about it.

>>7092
can't unhear.

In my neighborhood, there is a store that advertises
-haircuts
-beer
-guns

There is also a garland of American flags in the window. I thought of Soldier.

A couple of months ago, three men wearing kilts came into my work to buy some alcohol before closing time.
Apparently it was for some Scottish festival nearby.

>>7115
Yeah, people usually wear kilts at Scottish festivals. Something about heritage.

I was at a baseball game today (yesterday?) and one of the guests mentioned at the game was the Mann family. I started giggling to myself.

These days, Scout's mom makes her living selling insurance.

>>7202
CANNOT UNSEE

Unfortunately, I was too chicken to go inside to see what this place was like and I no longer remember the address, but rest assured this is a real bar in Boca Raton.

>>7202
I'm convinced Scoutmom, Flo, and the main character from No One Lives Forever are triplets.

Palmer, the autopsy intern on NCIS, could make a decent Young!Medic. Ducky, the main medic on the show, acts more like him, cheerfully telling morbid stories and getting scary when he goes srs bzns.

>>7297
Surprised I didn't think of this before myself. I love those two hehe.

Modern day disguise kit (note: disguises have been removed...for some reason.)

>>6862
Works for me.

>>7202
...and for inexplicable reasons I just pictured the GEICO lizard perched on her shoulder, dressed as Spy.

>>7488
Someone needs to draw this.

>>7202


LOL

I'm currently with my grandparents. They live on a road called Mundy Mill.

I giggle like a moron every time I see a shop or street sign with "Mundy" on it, such as the "Mundy Mill Gun Shoppe" just down the road.

My mom's old high school mascot makes me giggle every time we drive by the school.

Not exactly real life, but this did remind me of tf2chan. I blame you all.

>>7953
that is just uncanny.

The best part is I saw it on a TF2-related website.

>>8011
Is it bad that the first thing I thought of wasn't the logo, but autobalance?

>>8011
The spies smoke these so that they are undetected while disguised or cloaked. BLU gets Blu and RED gets Red.

New headcanon.

Saw this at the video store today. Soldier's Canadian brother.

Watching Captain America and when the group returns from being captured, there is someone in the back who says "Medic! We've got injured!" It sounds JUST. LIKE. SCOUT.

I know that isn't really real life, but I think it also fits here.

Also, not a bad movie.

>>8032

Along with being a stand-in name for a Canadian soldier, "Johnny Canuck" was a Canadian comic book character from the 1940s, usually depicted wearing a crash helmet and goggles. I'd imagine the sign was inspired by someone's recollection of the character, considering his military attire.

  Not real life, but I wanted to share this and didn't want to start a new thread just for this.

But this video reminds me of a blu spy stealing the intel on an extremely glitched map

>>8195
Are you nonsense? That would be great map.

I had band camp today, and while we were practicing our marching on the field, our instructors were talking and one of them, very loudly, went "NOPE!"
.....He sounded just. Like. Engi.

>>8252
My dad does Engie's "NOPE" all the time when the kids are being pests, and he doesn't even know. It's amazing.

Didn't know where else to put this:

I blame Obvious Pseudonym.

Restaurant in my hometown. It might not be THAT TF2 related, but it made me giggle, because as soon as I saw it, my mind spawned a vision of TF2 AU, where are two rival restaurants: RED and BLU, with the mercs working there. And so, Support classes would be waiters (although, I'm having trouble imagining Snoipah in classy outfit), Scout would be delivery boy, Engie could be their repairman or just faithful customer, Demo would be bartender and the rest would be cooks, Pyro would be the chef, of course. And I think Soldier would make an excellent cook too.

YOU CALL THAT A SOUFFLE?! I WILL SHOW YOU A TRUE SOUFLLE!

>>8251

Now you're making me want it even more.

>>8263
Somebody make this happen please. I imagine Spy would be one of those angry waiters who actually has the MOST experience with cooking and cuisine and saves the day when there's a food disaster out in the service area a la Hell's Kitchen style.

>>8274
i think spy would be the snooty receptionist

>>8277

Haha, that works too, even better. I could see him eyeing up every lady!

Someone just donated this book to the Library I work at. TF2 themed, or not?

I saw this at target.

Was walking downtown and saw a car with "Wrangler" written in small text on it.
Turns out Jeep sells "Wrangler" convertibles.

oh, and each time I pass the fish aisle in the grocery store

Oh hi, Just posting a picture of Real Medic, don't mind me

>>8481
Haha, that's crazy. Which reminds me...

My friend recently shared this picture of a Russian soldier(?) to me. He brought it to my attention that the guy looks like a Medic/Heavy lovechild and I lol'd.

Dunno if this belongs here
