Meet the Demoman Storyboard Concept Sketches
  • The Demoman's alcohol is made by 'Red Shed'. The Red Shed Distillery is the RED team's base on the map Well. Red Shed is also featured in Meet the Sandvich.
  • The Demoman's grenade bounces, then explodes on contact. The ability for grenades to detonate on contact after the first bounce was removed in a later patch for both the PC and 360.
  • The Demoman's unused Dynamite Pack weapon can be seen on his desk, most prominently at 0:31 in the video.
  • The closing screen features the following disclaimer: "All information regarding Demoman grenade behavior was obtained from Australians believed to be reliable at the time. It is submitted to the possibility of errors, omissions, or nerfing without notice."
  • The music that plays during the battle sequence — " Drunken Pipe Bomb" — did not appear on the soundtrack or in the game files in any form, similar to "Magnum Force", the track that plays during Meet the Sniper. Valve, however, added the song as menu music in the WAR! Update on December 17, 2009.
  • Valve teamed up with KritzKast and ran a contest to decipher what the Demoman said during those few censored seconds. Winners were selected for most humorous but clean lines, most obscene lines, and lines most accurate to the original script.
  • The titlecard displays "COPYRIGHT LOLOLOL" on the bottom right corner, a recurring joke throughout the "Meet the Team" videos.
  • The RED team is shown to be coming out of the BLU spawn at Gravel Pit and vice versa, even though BLU is the attacking team.
  • At 0:56, the Demoman's hand bumps into the grenade on his desk and it becomes active; however, it does not detonate.
  • During the video, the Demoman can be seen with blank badges on either shoulder. The ending shot of all nine classes shows the Demoman with his original dynamite badge, later changed to a generic bomb and finally to the current Stickybomb shoulder badge.
  • A parody of the video, named "Meet the Demopan," has surfaced and become popular throughout the TF2 community.
  • When the Demoman charges at the Sentry Gun, a Dispenser is clearly seen. In the next shot when the Demoman destroys the Sentry Gun, the Dispenser is gone.
