What happens between rounds? SOMEONE has to clean up all those merc guts, scattered weapons and questionable looking head accessories. That's where the Janitor comes in. A perpetually bitter man from Not Scotland who applied to be a mercenary at first, but quickly realized the dangers of such a job and quit soon after. Turns out due to a lengthy contract he signed he is now bound to TF Industries until the year 2051, so he decides to take up a less risky occupation: a one-man cleanup crew. The pay is terrible, the stench is suffocating, and the hours are grueling, but at least he gets a cute little bucket.

He managed to scare *Spy* . That's an accomplishment
Well... the Pyro does too.
True.
I wonder how The Janitor would react to Pyro? :D
@@PeanutTechno hmmmmmm...
Well I mean Spy ain't even fazed by fire. So yeah, I'd say that's definitely an accomplishment
@@1classikai i do believe i am on fire
7 phd's in janitorial studies from the university of dublin.
this checks out for tf2
**holds up 4 fingers**
@@markboyle1843 hey he said his phds were in janitorial studies, not math
Dublin has a University? You know this is some good made up Tf2 world shit xD
@@otakunthevegan4206 who's gonna tell him
*over 7
The fact that this wasn't even nominated purely disgusts me...you deserved much, much more.
Just Farinz je suis d'accord, comme putain de merde homme.
Just Farinz soundsmith shouted out board room mate
This is why you vote folks
Farinz they're fookin wee pissants the lot of em! Patriots from nor'n Ireland are rightly pissed
This deserved a huge blow up. The accent was on point, the characterization was hilarious.
As an actual janitor, I must say that this is definitely 100% accurate.
Banjo Wafer I feel bad for ya
Banjo Wafer the hatred for humanity seeping in from the cleaning supplies?
Connor McLernon As a former janitor I can confirm that is at least part of it.
Yep I may be a young janitor but this is pretty realistic also you never know pain until you trap yourself while mopping
@Antonio Crouchelli Janitorial work is important and incredibly difficult
Wanna know what I think is a nice touch?
In a world where a bunch of guys in red fight a bunch of guys in blue and vice versa, this guy wears GREEN.
And white.
*cough cough*
How about purple? Red and blue make purple.
+ItsYee That is reserved for The Announcer and Miss Pauling.
He's a one man army
Davidk9292 idk that shirt looks like a light blue/grey... he could be a deep cover *Blue Spy*
This guy manages to clean up the whole map in those few milliseconds between the rounds when the teams switch.
Are we COMPLETELY SURE the 9 mercs are the real heroes of this story?
I m afraid not (spy voice)
Smiley the Smile
Top 10 most powerful anime characters
They were never the heroes in the first place, I'm pretty sure red and blu are evil
Heroes, huh?
We can all agree they just want to be paid.
Smiley the Smile
Have you read the tf2 comics?
There is no hero...
APART FROM SAXTON HALE
HE THE GOD DAMN SUPERMAN OF THIS UNIVERSE
As the resident Irish TF2 guy, I can confirm that this is what we sound like.
soo... what happened to all the other lrish tf2 youtuber?
Buttered Pie
Drunk
Well if you're from Dublin or Cork yeah I can see it but definately not from Laois or Offaly
Like an American trying to sound irish?
The Big Enchilada Yes
Went from cleaning up after the mercs to singlehandedly keeping TF2 alive with nothing but his flask and a potted plant.
Really hate to have that guy’s job. Also I can see him and demo being drinking buddies in the bar. I can smell a sitcom of Scottish demo and Irish janitor being the most unlikely of friends.
But the demo makes a hell of a mess mate. Consider the Gibs from his kills!
yeah, it would definitely be a love-hate relationship between the two
Tagline:
FRIENDSHIP ENDED WITH BLU SOLDIER
NOW JANITOR IS MY BEST FRIEND
All Scots and Irish are instantly friends due to their natural hated for the English
Both telling each other to piss off before having a drinking contest and subsequent brawl. Basically Soldier and Demo now that I think about it.
"If I catch you doing it again, I'm gonna shove this broom so far up your arse, you'll get splinters in your tongue!"
Forget the Pyro, the Janitor's the one you should be afraid of.
that was my favorite part its was so hilarious
To bad. The Janitor did not whooped that Heavy's ars just to give the right message the others. Just having a dead RED heavy somewhere on the map with a broom that was insted the outher way around....
Can't wait to see when the janitor sees burning corpses on the ground
Or, y'know, forget the heavy that bumped into you and is fully revved up.
O-okay...
i love how he just terrifies the spy. caught completely off guard, pinned to the wall, and having a drunk irish guy yelling at you for tracking mud will certainly put a kind of fear into you. maybe not the fear of god, more like the fear of gods of cleaning or something, i dunno
Cory Hooper the fear or janitors maybe
With an enemy sentry around the corner.
Ever had an Irish man do that to you?
If Spy had any faith in any god, the mere existence of Pyro completely destroyed it before the Janitor could get to him.
I always thought he said blood
I want this Janitor to be canon now. LMFAO
Top ten strongest anime characters
Sorry I had to
@@rn-zu5ld tf2 janitor vs farmer with a shotgun,
THEYRE BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY
Technically, him and the potted plant are the only developers now... So, I can say it's real...
This actually feels like it'd be part of the TF2 universe.
LunaPhobos That is so true
LunaPhobos without the disgusting taste of fandom, it’s perfection
so true lad so true :). I mean who u think keeps all these maps clean after every fight in every game mode? XD HAH the Janitor of course.
Especially the ludicrous details, like him supposedly working a *23 hour shift every day.* Feels like something which would fit right in with TF2.
Because it should along with the civilian merc chemist and guard dog
"I have over 7 PHDs."
*holds up four fingers*
He has a PhD in janitorial studies, not maths
He was drunk after all.
Now I'm wondering...
How rich must the Janitor be after finding the amount of golden statues created from killing an enemy with Golden Wrenches, Saxxies and Golden Pans?
Australium*
Dominus Empyreus
No. Not Aussie. While there are Australium Wrenches, there are Golden Wrenches, and every Golden Pan is in fact, Golden. Saxxies are up to debate tho.
@@wolfboy414_lac Oh, okay. Thanks for the info.
But he still has a contract
It's probably fool's gold knowing Mann Co, specifrically Saxton Hale as he gives his mercs crapy equipment. Do you really think he would actually give his mercs nice things?
**doesn’t take the sandwich**
**gets mad when heavy drops it**
I don't always eat the food people give me.
That doesn't mean they have the right to THROW IT ON MY FLOOR I JUST CLEANED, DAVE! DID NO ONE TEACH YOU MANNERS?!
well that is how heavy shares his food, he just chucks it around like a football for anyone to pick up.
One does not simply take heavy's sandvich.
Every Heavy I've seen drops it neatly on a pristine plate, though.
He wasn't offering it, he was taunting him.
get this guy into the Saxton Hale mod! He needs to release some pent up frustration!
Ayyy!!
I have a feeling he might go after Heavy or Spy first.
His accent is so strong it could effect other's accents.
I suspect its most likely 100% pure Irish. You can tell it from his voice.
whenever someone plays as him everyone turns irish
Eevee RealSenpai I feel like this is demon brother or uncle
Don’t fecking know what you’re talking about lad
What accent is it supposed to be?
I love how scared Spy was when Janitor was threatening him. It's not often that we see him as rattled as that.
he wasnt even that scared in expiration date, where he thought his life had a set time limit.
His freaking lip quivered!
The spy was scared for his life...HE STOPPED HIS CIGARETTE, HE NEVER DROPS A UNUSED CIGARETTE
Reuploaded due to audio issues, sorry!

i hear it now *bad pun*
Ok
Genowhirl70 poor janitor
1:36
"I have seven PH.D.s!"
*Holds up 4 fingers*
Yeah,I think he's drunk
7 + 4 = 11;
he could be an excellent opponent to Engineer who has 11 PH.D.s too.
Eh Laddie hes not drunk yoire drunk
Beta The Raider :D
Well... the rambling, the empty bottles, the dozing off.
Janitor, go home, you're drunk. Just try not throwing up while I drive you there.
Eh Laddie Well how the fuck would he hold up seven with one hand?
Obnoxious Otter With his first and second hand?
This SFM has done one of the only things that are annoyingly so rare in SFM's, and that's the camera movement. So many SFM's fall victim to just rapidly moving the camera around frantically, and of course you can't focus at all on the actual SFM, taking away from the entire thing. But *THANK YOU* , the combination of camera angles and movement, the lighting details that many miss (even though it looks a bit like ungraded footage but I guess that goes with the "meet the x" style) and the work with the Foley and the voice bring it together. Congrats, this better win a Saxxy.
and the excessive movement of the shoulders, like, some SFM animators out there feel like they need to animate every bone and every shape key animatable in their video, it gets distracting and horrible
So this is the guy who updates the localisation files

Janitor Junior : Dad what's an alcoholic?

Janitor Junior : But Dad, there is only two cars there...
ua-cam.com/video/O2_8Igq7ko4/v-deo.html
Uuum... There's only 1.
MR Darkman My god, Lol xD
Tryhard Blendz ironically enough your pfp looks like what a janitor would do
Also what if there was zero cars
I'm dead...
XD
I LOOOOVE the music in this video! The tone is perfectly matched throughout the video, and I feel like it reaches my Irish roots because every time I hear the strong intro at 0:12 it always gets me
Also I can’t really explain why but I really love the way you animated Spy’s surprised reaction at 1:04. Just the way his hand goes when he drops his revolver, the way his facial expression switches from stealthy confidence to fearful confusion in .00001 seconds, the way he looks down at the broom he’s being pinned against the wall with and back up at the janitor like “who are you what is this what is going on here”
Just... this entire thing is so well done.
Let's review the nationalities of the Mann Co. Employees again:
Scout/Soldier/Engineer: American
Pyro: ???
Demoman: Scottish
Heavy: Russain
Medic: German
Sniper: New Zealander/Australian
Spy: French
And now
Janitor: Irish
I always thought Ireland needed a bit more love in TF2
There's also the civilian who i think is british? can't remember his voice lines very well
@@spartanwar1185
Ther already is an englishman.
According to Soldier, anyway...
@@boomdadoom9370 I always just assumed him to be American, maybe Canadian because I think it would be nice if Canada got some attention in the tf2 universe.
Pryo is Mexican
Engineer would likely say that he's Texan first and American second hell I'd bet he'd say his nationality is Texas when asked 😂
#Janitorsdeservesrespect
#Butwontgetany
#sad
I am a real life janitor and I appreciate this pound sign
I respect the clean floors
That's why I don't make messes
#CleanUpYourOwnMessYouPigs
Make it canon, Valve.
Just put a little bloody bucket with a mop and his liquor flask around in some maps and boom. Nice reference for the fans.
Or at least in Viscera cleanup detail. That would be nice.
I mean that’s what happened with the Administrator, so it’s entirely likely.
Maybe he’ll show up in a comic.
The New Spectators where you get to freely roam around the map cleaning and do taunts
Valve, Pls fix
He seems like he'd be good friends with Demoman
Love-hate relationship. Demo leaves the worst messes.
@@ashketchum6222 also Scottish and Irish rivalry ( not as bad as British rivalry : / )
I like how he used the cut demoman model
An Irish TF2 character! And from Dublin!!!! Oh I wish he was playable!
Also love the voice acting! Brilliant job!!
Hannah Judges You tbh, i could just imagine him being a one, the creators should take notes and see if they can add new characters in the future
JedAnimationStudios I like your lego stuff
So, why hasn't Viscera Cleanup Detail made a TF2 crossover yet?
The A-Trane just have that game enable workshop content
Cause valve is lazy af.
I guess they could make a TF2 mod or DLC for Viscera Cleanup, what do you think?
exactly my thoughts
The A-Trane good point
Janitor confirmed as 10th tf2 class
Melee weapon: Broom
Secondary weapon: A bucket full of toxic waste mercs leave behind
Primary weapon: Sarcasm
Francisco A G It’s a video game thing, so I think it will work out.
Also how funny would it be just to bash people with a broom :D
From one Irish to another, know how you feel, Janitor.
Absolutely brilliantly made animation, this better win!
I really like the animation style in this. It looks much 'cleaner' and more stylized than the typical smooth-flowing animation style you see quite often in sfm videos. It looks like Sonic Boom kinda.
MyNameIsNotPa a cleaner art style.. get it cause it’s about a janitor
I don't think Sonic Boom animation is much of a compliment tbh.
#RespectTF2Janitor
Jeez. This is amazing. Camera is perfect, voices fall exactly perfect, plenty of comedy, and animation is smooth as ice! Definitely deserves the Saxxy!
Nathan Taylor depends on what type of ice you mean
The lighting is not the best, it looks like they added no lighting/verry little. I dont see any shadows or anything like that.
*This.... is a bucket.... DEAR GOD! Theres more!*
*NO!*
*OH NOO. BOLDED, EDITED AND CAPPED LETTERS, WERE ALL DOOMED!*
LaughingNuke dear god.
GPC Crap I was about to say that!
*nou...*
Wow what an incredibly original idea for the comedy section! Great work!
We seen his job in one video in the past, but we never get to see how he feels
This is beautiful in all ways of respect
I want to see more of this character honestly
he's perfect
Fun fact: janitor is the early concept of demoman
"7 phd's in janitorial studies from the university of dublin"
*holds up 4 fingers*
He was drunk i think
Dammit now I want the Janitor to be a official character in the TF2-universe
Also R E S P E C T T H E J A N I T O R
Kermarotta the spy himself was trembling in fear of the janitor.
10th class confirmed, also confirmed to be the most OP
As a great man with a meme shovel once said.. "It's perfect."
Soundsmith..?
xX_LordKill7 Smoker420_Xx he was tallking about one of pie's animation videos
And fuck that Soundsmith-idiot.
Not interested in fucking Sound Smith.
Randy Taylor
Uhh im kinda oblivious to the "fuck soundsmith" bandwagon. Im actually curious why you have that view. I only know him because my friend talks about him and he said something about a meme shovel once.
xX_LordKill7 Smoker420_Xx he makes useless and stupid content that people like for some reason
Like he just comes up with stereotypes about items which are RANDOM SENTENCES
Like you can just get a repainted gibus and say that people who wear it like meat or salad
Like what the fuck
Whats the point of his content
Definitely one the the better submissions for the Saxxies.
Best of luck with this one, Geno.
OMG HE'S IRISH.....
THANK YOU!!!!
Valve:
Change log:
Janitor:
Minus 20%cleaning speed.
We made this change as the class can clean up the entire map in just a few seconds.
Thanks, and have fun.
Is it bad that as technically a janitor myself, I FEEL for this guy more than I should?
I bet his model would make a great Luigi from the Super Mario Brothers Super Show "live aciton" scenes
Or at the very least the first understudy for THIS Luigi lol: ua-cam.com/video/Zre0TRsGVsA/v-deo.html
They should turn this into an actual class.
Or a Visera Clean-up Detail mod?
He will be a class in a gamemode in Team Fortress 2 Classic
I'd be the Janitor main apart from already being a Heavy main.
Madi TimeTV Yeah, and screaming at Spies with Irish slurs and being drunk all the god damned time
YE
the true hero we all need
Very well done. He really comes across as man both proud of yet horribly trapped in his work. The Heavy dropping a sandwich was a nice touch.
I love this SFM, the best one I've seen so far, nice camera angles, nice voice, and good character idea, I really hope this wins a Saxxy, you did amazing.
kaakeliuuni AKA tiled stove Yes, but I meant Saxxy entry in my opinion, Live and let Spy is my favorite overall (also my third SFM ever seen.
I'm having some heavy deja-vu.
I am having scout deja vu!
The Simpsons?
The Return Of Jafar im having dispencer deja-vu
This is so refreshingly original, just another example of Geno being incredible again.
Press F to pay respects to this man.
Yes the Janitor and Agent Gunn in TF2 two new classes right there easy.
Jet Ghost5478 Spy already does Agent Gunn’s thing tho.
The guard dog.
Civilian.
The merc of open fortress
Fantastic work. Being a janitor myself, this speaks to me on a spiritual level.
This is done really well laughed my ass off. One problem though, He's not sterotypical enough.
No but really this is a masterpiece
This is really good, should be a contender!
That little lip quiver from the Spy kills me
Excellent attention to detail
And the blinking
Behold: the last employee working on tf2
This was a hilarious short, got my vote for this year's Saxxy's for sure! Oh how I wish this was a part of the official Team Fortress 2 canon, it would fit right in with the rest of the silly antics of RED, BLU and Mann Co. Who knows, fans have made stuff that Valve has accepted into the insane lore that game has before.
Really? Using the ol' Irish drunk stereotype? We aren't all alcoholics! I'll have ye know I've only had 4 pints in the last five minutes.
MannKind
*only* five
Dude you need to step up your game
I'm glad you weren't offended lmao
You can thank the English and their lead water pipes for that.
What are ye, a teetotaller, boyo?
MannKind if your Irish alcohol is in your blood even when your sober
This could be like a great concept for a game mode!
Example:
The red and blue will killing eachother as usual, but they win based on how many parts of the janitor has cleaned before the time runs out. So the team must kill as many things as possible. And the body/gibs red or blue don't count as long as it is a body part.
If this guy can clean up an entire map in like 3 seconds before the round starts, he deserves much more respect.
1:44 "I'm not drunk, I'm Irish!"
That’s a nice sfm model you got there
Imagine a whole side-game from TF2 starring the Janitor called Clean Fortress 2!
viscera cleanup detail: tf2 edition
I love how they turned the old Demoman design into a janitor.
Nice to see miss pauling take her single day off a year again.
A full version of his theme needs to be made.
It could be called "I'm Not Drunk" or "Janitor's Jig"
Huh that's strange I thought all the bodies in the Badlands just magicly go invisible after a short period of time...
Mr.L The Janitor is actually invisible and sneakily cleans up all the bodies while tricking the players to think the bodies simply despawn.
James Carter He only shows up for people who really gets him angry, and that doesn't happen often.
Mr.L
Turns out he's just really fast and goes around the whole map with a rubber and slowly erases all the corpses
Somebody’s gotta do the dirty work.
I wonder if he's related to the McNinjas...
The janitor gets more time off than Miss Pauling does.
1:16
Spy has 1 fear
Pybro has nothing on him
KingIceHunter What, a “broomstick up the arse”? Or the janitor in general lol
No fear
The janitor from tf2
One fear
I totally want this dude to be canon.
1:57 HE’S SINGING THE TF2 THEME
No way! It’s the last guy that works on TF2
*Thats the forbidden class, know as 10th class. . .*
I can't believe I am watching this over and over again.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER.
i'm gonna give the Janitor more respect from now on
The most dangerous class
Fun fact: thats a scottish person. And the original model for demoman
For those who say that this class doesn't fit because of Pauling cleaning everything up, it could be done that the Janitor does his job without it being aknowledged as his.
I really like this guy, it's funny and seems to fit.
It's just my opinion, but I think this is great.
Kind of late but, Pauling cleans up people who probably snoop about and "know too much" at the order of The Announcer" whilst the Janitor just cleans up the spilt fluids and corpses from the battlegrounds. As examples, Miss Pauling killing "The Director" in one comic and as we've seen The Janitor cleaning up blood.
@@thedollofsoulsPauling does stuff outside the maps/ blu/red property and badlands while Mercs and Janitor stay within the properties.
0:50 Heavy will never throw his sandwich on the floor
Heavy: *chuckle*
Janitor: HEAVY!!!!!! 0:54
I’m so glad the janitor finally got his own game
*your drunk*
YOUR DRUNK!
*we both drunk*
YES
Good shit. Hope you win!
Please add him to the official canon
1:03 I really don't think spy will track mud, his suit is too expensive, maybe demo?
The Irish janitor. Just what the team needs.
So that's where all the bodies went.
Name : Janitor
Role : Support
Weapons : Mob/pistol/Bucket
The tenth class is finally here 😮
He really has the same attitude with demoman
that heavy was surely a spy, if heavy would throw a sandvich, he would throw it on an unbreakable plate to give respect, but this heavy threw it on ground without plate to disrespect, real heavy would never forgive himself if he did that
The janitor! Perfect explanation to how 2fort and gorge stay spotless before and after a round
