Demoman’s Mother Wants Him Working

IT MIGHT BE A JOB, TAVISH. AN LAIRD KNOOS YAE COULD USE ONE. I DUNNAE WANT ANOTHER JOB, MUM. AND I DUNNAE CARE WHAT YOU WANT, LAD. YOU AND YAIR LAZY GOOST-SWORD ... HEY! I'M DEAD, NOT DEAF! ...NEED TAE GET OOT THIS HOUSE AND BLOW SOMETHIN' UP FOR MONEY, OR I'LL HAVE TAE BURY YE IN A BIG ROUND BOX!

A comic-style scene shows Tavish, the Demoman from Team Fortress 2, arguing with his mother in a house. His mother tells him to get a job, while he complains that he does not want another one; a supposedly dead character interrupts to insist that he is not deaf. The joke is the absurd combination of family nagging, explosive mercenary work and the undead character’s literal complaint, making it useful as a reaction to being pressured to work or do something dangerous.
