It’s good, but something of a disappointment after the more-or-less stellar videos that preceded it.

But either way, he’s not from Jersey. He’s from the south side of Boston.

Oh yeah, I was going to mention the little ‘backstory’ snippet from the Valve update; I like how it gives a little extra to the character (it’d be pretty awesome to hear the Spy barking out the bios at the start of the videos: “Der Shcout! Birseplace: Boston, Massachusetts! Shcout vas raised on zer mean streets of Boston, vhere he cultivated der untamed savachery und fleet-footedness for vich ze crude little man-boy is now known.”

(Meanwhile, could the slower folks please remember that stereotypical accents are a staple of broad comedy, and not wrong ones).

Are you people actually complaining?
1) He’s meant to be a jerk.
2) They’re comedy characters. Of course their accents are going to be weird.
3) The Demoman’s video included the lines “T’all Ya fine Dandy’s, so proud, so cocksure with your head full of eyeballs”. Does that really need any kind of defence?

Aww The heavy is so cute, I want a plush toy of him. I loved this episode though, only one to make me laugh on my own.

I thought it was great. The animation is getting better and better, and I for one can’t wait for the next one, whichever it is.

If he’s from Southie, clearly NONE of the accents are very good, but they all serve their purpose. I still can’t decide if the Spy is Spanish, Italian, French, or Fritañol.

Lunaran: My sarcasm-detector is in the shop, but I have a feeling you’re joking. I HOPE you’re joking.

Only a Southie could be that big of a prick. ;)

I enjoyed it, especially the sandwhich/shotgun bit:

I think the only thing thats wrong with it (and can be said of all of them) is it leaves you wanting even more.

Which is actually a good thing, if you’re from the ‘glass is half full‘ club.

Now all we need is a TF2 mini series. I genuinely think this is a project that could be a series.

And to those not getting that all these accents and, well, EVERYTHING is infact a parody, google your way to eBay and buy yourselves a new sense of Humour, the one you have is showing its age!

(for the record, I just showed these vids to mum and she lolled).
