(1. I don't think the "brief laughter and applause" is needed specifically for Pyro, because the Medic and Sniper also applaud/laugh too. 2. Added a unique feature of the Scout's flip taunt.)

Flippin' Awesome publicity blurb

The Flippin' Awesome is a special taunt for all classes.

When activated, the character crouches and forms their hands into a cup whilst saying a voice line and beckoning other players over. The character then allows another player to jump into their cupped hands and hoists them into the air to perform a backflip.

Any other player (including bots) can accept the initiator's invitation by standing in front of them and pressing the taunt button (default keyG), regardless of team or if they own the taunt. Other players see an icon above the initiator's head indicating that the taunt is active, and players seeing it for the first time also receive a tutorial-like prompt informing them of how and where to accept it. The taunt cannot be initiated if there is insufficient space for it to be performed, such as a map height difference or obstacle in front of the initiator; trying to do so causes a message to appear on their HUD informing them of why they are unable to taunt. The initiator can hold the inviting stage of the taunt indefinitely; pressing the taunt button again or jumping before another player accepts the invitation ends the taunt instantly.

When a Heavy is flipped, he instead lands on his head. If the Heavy is the initiator, he uses one finger to flip the other player rather than both his hands. The Pyro can perform an agile triple-flip, while the Scout performs an additional front flip into the somersault.

For the voice lines and animations of each class, please refer to the respective class taunts articles.
