I couldn't describe playing medic more. I went from "I'll play a support role and heal my team! This should be fun!" to "My team can't get hurt if the is no team to hurt them."
I love this song so dang much. I may be 9 years late, but I just need to talk about this. This is a song about madness. About Medic's gradually deteriorating mind. It starts with Medic expressing annoyance at his job, commenting on the "...screaming in my mind", already showing his insanity. He then says, "The only real solution's absolutely homicide!", which shows the idea of murder crossing his mind, and Medic completely agreeing with this idea. The next part is Medic resolving to put these plans into place, as he talks about deciding let the injuries stay, and tearing Heavy apart. Medic is usually associated with Heavy. It's a kind of symbiotic relationship in a way. Heavy provides protection for Medic, and Medic provides healing to his tank of a companion (This is in no way a guide on how to play Medic. This is just a statement of what is usually seen.). But Medic has decided that he doesn't care at this point. Sure, he may be referring to the BLU Heavy, but the evidence points the other way. Medic then begins to compare his abilities to others. How they are so much better at combat then him. So how will he become a weapon of mass murder? He contemplates, but only falls further from grace. Well, further than he already was. It is here we note a shift in the music. The previously orderly music has devolved into discordant slams onto the piano, as Medic decides his entire team should die. He really WAS referring to the RED Heavy. He then says that at this point, he doesn't "...care about points or payloads, only psychopathic sprees. Nor which color team you're playing, RED or BLU!". Medic only thirsts for one thing: Blood. It is during this part of the song where he ignores someone screaming "MEDIC!", something he acknowledged earlier in the song. It serves as proof positive of how firm Medic is in his new belief. After this, however, the music shifts again. The music sounds far more triumphant and righteous. Along with this, Medic begins justifying his actions. Examples include: "I'm a physician on a mission, and contrition's not my style!", where he says that it goes against who he is to feel remorse for what he is doing. "There's a high price to pay for the health I've purveyed! All I do, you've ignored! All I do, I've abhorred!", showing how he says this rampage is sufficient comeuppance for no one appreciating his work. During this entire segment, one can see light near Medic. The light shows how he thinks of himself: Correct, and just. But that comes into question at the next part. He remembers his past, of how he used to be "...valiantly healing everyone crying 'MEDIC!'", showing how, in a ever so slight way, Medic does regret his resolution. But, right when one may believe he decides to return to his original work, he brings up the fact that he "...once healed a Spy who then knifed me goodbye! That's when I learned to just, let people die! LET THEM DIE!", showing his true motives, and how these murderous ideas have been in his mind for quite some time. The rest of the song is him giving threats to the RED team, before being promptly executed by the enemy Sniper. The song closes in the most poignant way a TF2 song could: A recording, from before Medic became such a monster. If things had gone differently, maybe this could be him. Maybe that last person crying for Medic could have saved him. Maybe that person in the recording could still have been the person we see today.
Oh god, people, if you have to say something as brilliantly psychological as this under no matter what video DO IT. That's how we educate today. You did a great job!
At the last Free Roleplay Gaming Day our P&P club offered I played a dwarven cleric. I was kind of the medic of our level 1 team. As it came to the boss battle with a Hobgoblin general, a foe our GM accidentally thought it was a much lower threat than it actually was, it was for me healing my crew every round just to get them whacked into negative again. I wasted a natural 20 on healing the wizard instead of attacking the boss, only to know that my attack would have killed the boss... So, never play a healer.
This song has aged so well. It’s honestly so amazing for it being so close to the beginning of the channel, comparing this to You and Me, both of them are compared in well ways. I honestly love this song. Great work on this guys, despite it being an oldie, it sure is a goodie.
"If you'd like a reason why my entire team should die... Then play the medic." This line is just every game I've ever played in medic. It's amazing how a demo managed to waste a kritz when he had a full payload to defend.
The funny thing is, the whole video is just AJ lipsynching Peter's singing. I didn't realise that until the fifth time I listened to it three years ago.
+cameron vigil i love to play medic but this song is basically how i feel i was playing the cature the brief case and everyone on my team screamed medic
Even though i dont like the medic to play 24/7, i still respect the medic for saving people and pushing payloads with the uber charge. But as well i do sometimes play the medic juat for fun
This is like an epic villain song, except the villain is relatable... (Coming back to this a year later, practically every villain ever is relatable. Just this one in particular is MORE relatable) So just pretend that I initially put " *_especially relatable_* " in the original.
It’s so weird that I listened to this when I was 10 and now it played in my head today. I turn 18 in two months, I feel so old. Thank you for having some bops when I was younger lmao.
Songs in story order. You and me: Heavy and Medic are fighting and arguing, before working together and getting hit by that train. Medics don't heal Scouts: New game. Medic and heavy are separated, and "Scout" is holding up Medic. Medic gets doublecrossed by Spy and this leads to.. MEDIC!: The after effect of the last two. Medic has finally had it, and doesn't care if people live or die. He mentions getting stabbed by the disguised Spy, which helps prove this takes place after Medics don't heal Scouts. That's all folks.
Good theory but in medics don't heal scouts he says look the heavy needs my help so mabye when he respawns he went to the heavy which would also explain the wording he used. he said I ONCE healed a spy indicating it took place quite a while ago but maybe I am just REALLY over thinking this.
Revisiting this after “Engineers Are Your Friend.” Such a classic! I enjoy it more each time. Epic! Dramatic! Honestly a great character study for his TOTALLY RELATABLE motivations. Love the lines “All I do, you’ve ignored. All I do, I’ve abhorred!” and when it picks back up again all dark: “Leave the Demo man for dead! Let the Heavy fill with lead!” All culminating in my favorite part: the pain in his voice as he yells “May you LOATHE this WRETCHED game, without the Medic!” 🥲 Definitely the best TF2 song, easily a top 10 RE song in general.
I think that the "Medics Don't Heal Scouts" musical is a prequel to this musical. In the song, the Medic says "I once healed a spy who then knifed me goodbye" and in the "Medics Don't Heal Scouts" musical, at the end, he gets knifed by the scout. He never said that the he knew that the spy he healed before he got knifed was a spy. And in that musical, the Medic seemed nicer than in this musical. So, here's what I think what happened: AJ saw a scout begging for the Medic, and although he was resentful a first, his heart overrode his "status quo", but before he could heal the scout, the scout, who was really a spy, knifed him. This sent the Medic in a state of confusion and depression until he grew insane and decided to kill everyone. Then he got shot in the head by the Beard.
How... how does this channel only have 65,944 subscribers? That was fantastic. Like, really awesome. I was laughing, singing along, and honestly am going to buy it off iTunes to enjoy on the go.
Musically, this is legitimately a masterpiece. And the lyrics show the Medic's struggle. And the record player at the end lends itself to so many theories.
I was thinking along the lines of the fact that record was playing the whole time. It was a song that sounded similar to the song the Medic was singing. It was a song that the Medic made when he first joined Mann Co. and it was made before he had this breakdown and decided to become the ultimate Battle Medic. That's why the background song refers to him as a "friendly PHD".When he declared that he wouldn't do his job anymore, Mann Co. had him snuffed out by the Sniper (The Beard) so that he couldn't inspire other classes to revolt. But hey, that's just a theory.
Okay, I don't care what the content of the comment is, I always feel honored when the youtubers themselves, especially when they're pretty popular, respond to me.
Well, I actually enjoy playing as the Medic because it gives me the feelings that Im importing something to my team. When I hear someone call for Medic I will try my best to dodge the bullets of Heavies and Snipers, the rockets and pills/grenades of the Soldier and Demo, always Spy-checking more often than the Pyro, and just to get to my patient who needs my help. Usually I will be on the back of my team healing everyone while watching my back since no one really cares if I die, depending the playing mode as capture the flag to MvM mode. Iam that Medic who will sacrifice my life to save the life of someone else if Im not holding my Crussader Cross-Bow, the one who will be next to you saying "Everything will go fine". If I dont find a teamate to heal, I will go Combat Medic to fight for my life until I get reinforcement from my team. Iam the Medic who will make sure you dont die on the front lines against the enemy team or the robots. Iam the one who will uber you to make you a God ..
G-Toywell YT if you’ve watched older musicals by them then you’ve seen Peter. He’s the guy with the black beard. He does the voice for Medic in all the TF2 songs, he’s the main guy in Papers Please the Musical, he’s the first guy singing in Friday the 13th the Musical, he’s the second guy in the Vaults of Fallout Musical, he is the Neighbor in the Hello Neighbor Musicals. I could keep going but that’s enough examples, I recommend watching older musicals because some feature other members that have moved on from RE.
Medic should be with either Pyro or Heavy. Pyro can reveal the Spy's cloak with his flamethrower, and the Heavy... you all know him. And yes, I just checked, it turns out the Pyro is best for Spy-checking, because his flamethrower can nullify BOTH the Spy's disguise and cloak.
That moment when you saw this when you first became an RE fan and you thought it was AJ singing and then you come back months later to realise it's Peter who was singing this whole time... D:
10 years later and this song is still relatable and magnificent! Never stops making these =andom Encounters! Please never become Forgotten Encounters! Such great minds! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I remember watching this when I was like 10. Absolutely no clue what tf2 was, just vibing. I literally hadn’t thought about this in years until I randomly thought about the line “By me, your friendly PhD. Ze medic”, and seeing it again, I can confidently say, it’s still high art.
@@Josh-hh2cu Okay, absolutely love that the game basically had the perfect character for you 🤣, but I guess that’s just tf2, it has something for everyone!
Blaze Blue the item, karate, which is German for piss, makes it so that no matter what you attack with, it will be a critical hit, it’s also good with cloaked spy’s since you can see yellow drops of piss coming off of a strangely human like yellow mist.
@@blazeblue1257 Actually, it gives a mini Crit, different from a full Critical. If matched up with the Bushwhack, which crits all the time when you make a mini Crit, great with a buff banner Soldier, or Jarate, to deal major crits. That, or a headshot does Auto Crit.
Who agrees that every single time AJ puts on glasses and sings on an accent he becomes "mature" and when he's him self he's just a super fun kid!? I say that he's a kid in a good way not bad. EDIT (2017): With the knowledge that Peter was the one who sang this and now that I'm very familiar with his voice I can't watch AJ sing to this the same way. Or lip-sync rather. 😜
For an alternate, more wholesome ending: As the song ends and the medic is ranting about how everyone should die, one of the teammates walks in and says "Oh, hey doc. Hey, thanks for all the healing."
As a Medic main(formerly, cause it's SO DAMN STRESSFUL), i can safely say this is what it feels like to play Medic UPDATE: I'm back to being a Medic Main again. No other class can change the tide of a battle other than a Medic, and I also love being the anchor of that the team needs to push forward and win the match. (Plus I also got an Aussie Medi Gun so yeah :D)
Hello, Random Encounters. I just wanted to let you know that I have almost completed the Source Filmmaker version of this song (I've got about less than a minute to go) and I plan on finishing it by around Halloween. What I wanted to ask was could you (when it's finished) feature it on your channel, possibly in a comparison to your own video? I hate to ask but I only just started my UA-cam channel but I know how to use the SFM pretty well, and it would help to get a bit of publicity just so people know I exist. Thanks. -Mr. Spy
Hey Mr. Spy! Your SFM version is incredible! We'd love to share it around -- you did an excellent job of blending some ideas from our original while improving it with the humor and charm TF2 so naturally exudes. :D Give us a day or two to sort out the best ways of drawing some attention to it and we'll work from there. ^^ ~AJ
This song is the reason i picked up tf2, im now a pyro main going on 600 hours with 4 tours under my belt, and i just wanna say thanks RE for letting me know about this awesome game
Man, everything in this video is really good! The cinematography is good, the acting is great, the lyrics are awesome and complex, and the singing is phenomenal! ( AJ has a great range!)
No. He was not ever insane, He is a eccentric. He does not care for the sick, has no compassion. He considers the Hippocratic Oath to be a Hippocratic Suggestion, and healing is a side effect of his own morbid curiousity. So no, he's not insane, he's just a sinister man. The worst you could CALL him close to insane is possibly Schizothymia or Submania, the mild part of insanity.

In the song, the Medic says "I once healed a spy who then knifed me goodbye" and in the "Medics Don't Heal Scouts" musical, at the end, he gets knifed by the scout. He never said that the he knew that the spy he healed before he got knifed was a spy. And in that musical, the Medic seemed nicer than in this musical. So, here's what I think what happened:
AJ saw a scout begging for the Medic, and although he was resentful a first, his heart overrode his "status quo", but before he could heal the scout, the scout, who was really a spy, knifed him. This sent the Medic in a state of confusion and depression until he grew insane and decided to kill everyone. Then he got shot in the head by the Beard.
Rapunzel150 no the one who knives him said "true. But I'm no scout 😈" before the guy who knifed the medic got sniped by 'the beard'

We appreciate the support! Thanks for helping us grow slowly but surely!
Yeah he's right very right if i youtuber has unlimited supply of watchers i would love youtube but i love jesus more than youtube
"Like saxton hale in a safari at the zoo"
Did he just predicted jungle inferno in 2012
no the in the comics saxton hale kills all sorts of crazy creature
Musically, this is legitimately a masterpiece.
And the lyrics show the Medic's struggle.
And the record player at the end lends itself to so many theories.
This was actually all part of the Medic's Lip-synching routine along with his interpretive dance routine
I was thinking along the lines of the fact that record was playing the whole time. It was a song that sounded similar to the song the Medic was singing. It was a song that the Medic made when he first joined Mann Co. and it was made before he had this breakdown and decided to become the ultimate Battle Medic. That's why the background song refers to him as a "friendly PHD".When he declared that he wouldn't do his job anymore, Mann Co. had him snuffed out by the Sniper (The Beard) so that he couldn't inspire other classes to revolt.
But hey, that's just a theory.
InuYashaboy707
A game theory! oh wait wrong chanel n.n" my bad
i agree
Ok, now, I. REALLY want a boss mode in tf2 where you right a op medic. Upvote if you agree.
Raymond West you could a console command
Yoyo Yeah yes
I wish there WAS an upvote button.
Like Freak Fortress?
SMK They Mean The Like Button
Just to point out? At 0:10 his jawline is sharper than that saw he's holding.
I'm going to be honest, every time a medic heals me, I literally make sure to say thank you with voice chat. But, eh.
1:56 When you loose killstreak
Im not even a tf2 player and thats relatible
DuskyMisk
😂😂😂
I bet this video is how every battle medic feels when playing
0:51 every single battle medic in the actual game
Yep
Sucks to be a sniper main
Mercy
@@deadshotcalamity7302 nah being sniper is great
Medic: may your sandwiches be full of ransom meat
Random person: I’m vegan
Medic: frick
May your bread be a self aware beauty mark then.
tumors!
MAY YOUR FOOD BE FULL OF ANGRY BEES >:D
HE DIDN'T SAY "Sandvich"!
You deserve to go to hell, You monster.
@@monke3387Didn't know you played tf2 Nagito what gives you hope there
How could they NOT use Mark for this one too? Everyone ttalks about how Mark looks like the medic, hell, there's even fan art of it!
Because we hadn't met him yet? Because we like performing too? Because we don't look at fan art all that often? :P
Gabriel Petroff because AJ is an awesome Medic
Random Encounters The solution to this problem is a sequel!
..please?
Okay, I don't care what the content of the comment is, I always feel honored when the youtubers themselves, especially when they're pretty popular, respond to me.
Gabriel Petroff Because Markiplier sucks?
Well, I actually enjoy playing as the Medic because it gives me the feelings that Im importing something to my team.
When I hear someone call for Medic I will try my best to dodge the bullets of Heavies and Snipers, the rockets and pills/grenades of the Soldier and Demo, always Spy-checking more often than the Pyro, and just to get to my patient who needs my help. Usually I will be on the back of my team healing everyone while watching my back since no one really cares if I die, depending the playing mode as capture the flag to MvM mode. Iam that Medic who will sacrifice my life to save the life of someone else if Im not holding my Crussader Cross-Bow, the one who will be next to you saying "Everything will go fine". If I dont find a teamate to heal, I will go Combat Medic to fight for my life until I get reinforcement from my team. Iam the Medic who will make sure you dont die on the front lines against the enemy team or the robots. Iam the one who will uber you to make you a God ..
. . .
Weaboo avatar plus senstimental shit = awks
same.
Same. Medic is actually one of my favorites to play. :)
+Kaito Shion I dunno, I like scout best
Welcome to 2019, where this song is still awesome, unfortunately we don’t have Peter anymore 😢
NOOOOOO
Why not?
@Maximus Amadeo Oh thank god, I thought he died
Who is Peter?
G-Toywell YT if you’ve watched older musicals by them then you’ve seen Peter. He’s the guy with the black beard. He does the voice for Medic in all the TF2 songs, he’s the main guy in Papers Please the Musical, he’s the first guy singing in Friday the 13th the Musical, he’s the second guy in the Vaults of Fallout Musical, he is the Neighbor in the Hello Neighbor Musicals. I could keep going but that’s enough examples, I recommend watching older musicals because some feature other members that have moved on from RE.
To this day still my favourite Random Encounters musical it sucks that peter left because this is incredible
I don't know why but I think that Scout who killed the Medic in "Medic's don't heal Scouts" is the reason why the Medic wanted to kill his team.
The scout was a spy.
True he does mention "I once healed a spy that then knifed me goodbye" exactly what happened in Medics dont heal Scouts
King One Guy I know that.
Goddamnit Dooger....
+Kyle8871 Wait...He didn't heal the spy.
So he has turned into a battle medic?
Yes
He turned into me
+Joshua Weissman this is like the first time you die by a spy.
Medic should be with either Pyro or Heavy.
Pyro can reveal the Spy's cloak with his flamethrower, and the Heavy... you all know him.
And yes, I just checked, it turns out the Pyro is best for Spy-checking, because his flamethrower can nullify BOTH the Spy's disguise and cloak.
Mecha Gamer Mark III Ohhh!!!!
Thx for the tip!
That moment when you saw this when you first became an RE fan and you thought it was AJ singing and then you come back months later to realise it's Peter who was singing this whole time... D:
+I AGoodWasteOfTime I yeah I noticed that now. I was curious if anyone lse did.
Wait... This is Peter's voice?...
Its 2024 now and I’m watching like 7 years laters, man his voice has changed
Honestly, half the people who play the medic. Myself included
chara you are evil
Goes without saying
+Alise Garris but chara is amazing to me
I guess chara your a battle medic?
Well, not what I meant, I meant that you get so sick of the others being worthless parts of shit that you try to murder them
Only now, months into actually playing medic, do I realize this about a Medic main who is tired of dying and goes combat medic
10 years later and this song is still relatable and magnificent! Never stops making these =andom Encounters! Please never become Forgotten Encounters!
Such great minds!
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I remember watching this when I was like 10. Absolutely no clue what tf2 was, just vibing. I literally hadn’t thought about this in years until I randomly thought about the line “By me, your friendly PhD. Ze medic”, and seeing it again, I can confidently say, it’s still high art.
i remember finding tf2 because i was a pyro kid and liked fire 😆
@@Josh-hh2cu Okay, absolutely love that the game basically had the perfect character for you 🤣, but I guess that’s just tf2, it has something for everyone!
(Ending)
Medic: Ze medic.....
Heavy: MEDIC!!!!!
Medic: AWW COME ON!!!!
Oof
Sean Sweet Johnson Ze hell
when I listen to this, i get the vibes of dr. jeckel and Mr Hyde? because I am
does anyone else?
+Nintendo Genesis Nope
So true especially the line " am I a monster or a man "
Nintendo Genesis ya a bit
that's what they based it on
.... AS A PERSON WHO MAINS MEDIC THIS IS TRUE
very
Yep scout is lame
Ikr
Yeah
ᴅᴇᴇʀsᴋüʟʟ very very true
"You've think I've arrived bearing safety, but I come not with peace, but a sword" Never fails to give me chills everytime I listen to it.
When he said crits all his foes I thought when the sinper throws jarate when he shots at foes they will explosive die when I didn't know about tf2
Blaze Blue the item, karate, which is German for piss, makes it so that no matter what you attack with, it will be a critical hit, it’s also good with cloaked spy’s since you can see yellow drops of piss coming off of a strangely human like yellow mist.
Coolscee Gaming thanks
@@blazeblue1257 Actually, it gives a mini Crit, different from a full Critical. If matched up with the Bushwhack, which crits all the time when you make a mini Crit, great with a buff banner Soldier, or Jarate, to deal major crits. That, or a headshot does Auto Crit.
@@andymcneilly I know now,I wrote my comment when I was little and didn’t know what it did.
The medic went to far he dissed the all powerful sandwich
You mean sandvich
This is so relatable my favorite class is medic
the medic is actually really under appreciated and I honestly never see them in most games.
1:36
Woah calm down
THE PYROS INSANE
Pikalop HE CANT HE IS ZE MEDIC
Pikalop r u gonna kill some one medic
Meh typical average comment
XD
Medics a great class, however, I do not recall him having the ability of ze martial arts.
I played as a medic once, i was fűrherious.
Hungerhacks 88/88 best joke. Give this guy an Oscar.
I give it nein out of nein
First of all, Nazi Jokes are as funny for germans as 9/11 jokes are for americans, and second, it's spelled "Führer"
**soldier voice** YOU DESERVE A MEDAL
Bob. You mean fühhrerious.
Who agrees that every single time AJ puts on glasses and sings on an accent he becomes "mature" and when he's him self he's just a super fun kid!? I say that he's a kid in a good way not bad.
EDIT (2017): With the knowledge that Peter was the one who sang this and now that I'm very familiar with his voice I can't watch AJ sing to this the same way. Or lip-sync rather. 😜
aj is my fav haha
Yass
+Booper Dooper danasua
YAAAAAASS
The thing is, that's Peter singing in the accent. ^-^
For an alternate, more wholesome ending: As the song ends and the medic is ranting about how everyone should die, one of the teammates walks in and says "Oh, hey doc. Hey, thanks for all the healing."
I imagine Engi saying that, then it turns into battle Engi versus Battle Medic
As a Medic main(formerly, cause it's SO DAMN STRESSFUL), i can safely say this is what it feels like to play Medic
UPDATE: I'm back to being a Medic Main again. No other class can change the tide of a battle other than a Medic, and I also love being the anchor of that the team needs to push forward and win the match.
(Plus I also got an Aussie Medi Gun so yeah :D)
@Nathan Jereb Very yes
This comment is an accurate representation of 10 stages of every medic
Hello, Random Encounters. I just wanted to let you know that I have almost completed the Source Filmmaker version of this song (I've got about less than a minute to go) and I plan on finishing it by around Halloween. What I wanted to ask was could you (when it's finished) feature it on your channel, possibly in a comparison to your own video? I hate to ask but I only just started my UA-cam channel but I know how to use the SFM pretty well, and it would help to get a bit of publicity just so people know I exist. Thanks.
-Mr. Spy
Hey Mr. Spy!
Your SFM version is incredible! We'd love to share it around -- you did an excellent job of blending some ideas from our original while improving it with the humor and charm TF2 so naturally exudes. :D
Give us a day or two to sort out the best ways of drawing some attention to it and we'll work from there. ^^
~AJ
I cannot express my gratitude to you enough. Thank you so much.
Spy!
i saw your video mr spy and thats how i ended up here i loved it :D
Sorry Random encounters but mr spy sfm video is better than yours

This song is the reason i picked up tf2, im now a pyro main going on 600 hours with 4 tours under my belt, and i just wanna say thanks RE for letting me know about this awesome game
Oh wait 5 i didn't account for 2 cities
THIS IS LIKE THE BEST THING EEEVVVERRRR, PLEASE DO OTHER CLASSES/CHARACTERS IN THE GAME

THE SET DESIGN ALONE IS JUST SO DETAILED!!!
And this, my friends, is how ArraySeven was born.

Hey, RE, where'd you get that sweet medigun?
And bonesaw?

Probably the prop masters handbook.

One of the best of Random Encounters.
AspiringAnonymous GLITTER FORCE
This Is Amazing, This is the inner monologue of all medic mains
can we just talk about that perfect riff at 1:10
Yis
They put so much attention into props that are on screen for like 10 seconds
Not for all , but you're right
The video is me playing medic in a nutshell
Diamond soooop.....you are battle medic?
Yeah
this video is what got me into TF2. thank you, random encounters
This is inside the mind of a medic player
Ps who has never played tf2 but really want to play
It's free on steam
Maybe this is how it FEELS to play medic.
I love how he says blade 1:08
Dave Caldwell YASSSSSSSSSSS SAME IM GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED
Dave Caldwell yes
Dave Caldwell its like *BLAAAYYYYEEYAUD*
Peter sung it
Same
Oh no! Not my sandviches!
too bad, how sad.
There will be better days....
This was the very first Random Encounters I've ever seen, now I'm watching years later. :')
"And the Scout's kinda lame"
*_TRIGGERED_*
„And the scout‘s kinda lame“
Scout:TRIGGERED
3:50 why would you do that medic
How evil....
2:56 my favorite part
All I do you ignored
@@monokuma7746 all I do. IVE ABHORED!
Man, everything in this video is really good! The cinematography is good, the acting is great, the lyrics are awesome and complex, and the singing is phenomenal! ( AJ has a great range!)
Peter was singing. Not AJ
AJ was the actor but Peter was the singer. Too bad he left RE
@@Sonicfan-cc1te Oh. Great congratulations to him then, he's great at singing!
@@tokyoghettohippy Yeah Peter’s awesome!
Wasn't the medic always insane?
Kable Monroe kinda
Under Tube no
No. He was not ever insane, He is a eccentric. He does not care for the sick, has no compassion. He considers the Hippocratic Oath to be a Hippocratic Suggestion, and healing is a side effect of his own morbid curiousity.
So no, he's not insane, he's just a sinister man.
The worst you could CALL him close to insane is possibly Schizothymia or Submania, the mild part of insanity.
He Is Under Tube
Under Tube well..he did sell his soul to the devil..and surgically sewed eight more
I know your pain I played a game with the medics carrying the team and not even a thanks
And was the spy that killed you from medics don’t heal scouts
that's a heavy ''german'' accent
Thanks XD
Im German
It's actually Peter singing it, AJ is lip-syncing it
@@joshn4750 I think AJ actually did a good german accent as Werner Werman in Cuphead, tbh.
I like the piano gets crazy when medic goes insane. It gives a feeling of how medic feels
