Slap chop mash up game style

Worlds collide: the remix-friendly Slap Chop infomercial has been done over once again, this time as a mashup with lines from the online shooter game Team Fortress 2. TF2’s character of the Scout does an uncanny impersonation of fast-talking tele-salesman Vince Offer, and the customer testimonials have cameo appearances by TF2’s Heavy Weapons Guy, Solder and Sinister Voice-Over Lady.

Inspired by this effort, another YouTuber re-dubbed an infomercial starring Billy Mays with dialogue from TF2’s Heavy Weapons Guy, selling a cleaning product appropriately named Kaboom. Your mileage may vary on this one – although if you can manage to make out what he’s saying, the lines he uses are actually quite clever.
