"Boom, headshot."

The phrase "Boom, headshot" is a reference to the catchphrase of the character FPS Doug in the online comedy series Pure Pwnage.


The bobble-head on the Sniper's dashboard in Meet the Sniper is a caricature of the Civilian as he appears in the original Team Fortress Classic.


The road sign at the beginning of the video bears the in-game icon for a headshot.

The bus that drives by at the end of the video has "BLUDOG" on the side, a reference to the Greyhound Lines bus service.

  • A later comic, Hey Sniper!, featuring the use of Jarate, but promoting the High Five! taunt, is also a parody of similar Charles Atlas ad, Hey Skinny!.
