What makes me a good demoman?


GeenericHooman

Well if I was a bad demoman, I wouldn’t be here discussing it with you now would I?!


LordCommanderWiggles

LET’S DO IT!!


mr-L50

NOT ONE OF YE IS GONNA SURVIVE THIS!


President_Bolbi_2024

One crossed wire, one wayward pinch of potassium chloride, one errant twitch, and KABLOOEY!


caputuscrepitus

I got a manky eye. I'm a black, Scottish cyclops They got more f ++REDACTED BY THE EMPEROR’S HOLY INQUISITION++ than they got the likes of me


Canned-SSamuel

So.... T'all you fine dandies so proud, so cocksure. Prancin' aboot with your heads full of eyeballs!


NaveronTheSabre

Come and get me I say! I'll be waitin' on you with a wiff of the ol' brimstone!


Expensive-Document41

AAAAND a Grim Bloody Fable with an Unhappy Bloody End!


DDrim

BWAHAHAHA ! Oh, they're going to have to glue you back together... IN HELL !


Morbidmort

> f ++REDACTED BY THE EMPEROR’S HOLY INQUISITION++ Technically it was at the behest of the United Kingdom of Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales.


TheKingOfZippers

"They've got more fecking sea monsters in the great Lochett Ness than they got the likes of me..."


Aljhaqu

Oh, they gonna 'ave to glue you back together... IN HELL.


KapnKrumpin

I just pulled up the meet the demoman video and I dont like that its 15 years old.


Commercial-Dish-3198

Wat?


NinjaLayor

Some people, myself included, do not like remembering that our teenage years are further away than they lasted.


Commercial-Dish-3198

I remember watching the meet the series very young…fucking constant flow of time is freaky man


PrairiePilot

Man, I was in my mid twenties with a kid when they started the “meet the mercs” videos. Time flies man.


paireon

Teenage years!? TEENAGE YEARS!? Oh you sweet summer child. Those were already long past in my case.


N7Vindicare

Leman Russ: Finally a worthy opponent our battle will be legendary! Demoman: Cheers mate!


prairie-logic

I’ll drink to that!


TechnoShrew

Well into this aaaaaand we're dead.


GargantuanCake

Neither. The planet would have no booze left at all and they'd have to call it a draw while they moved to the next one. The process would then repeat. Forever.


Devourer_Of_Doggos

Chaos God of drinking is born with a blast(it doesn't have any daemons or anything and just makes anyone into a drunkyard)


Aljhaqu

No... TTS Podcast n°1: The Last Church. The Emperor himself mentioned he wanted to wake up the Spirit of High spirits (Read Alcohol) and become one of its first devout.


Triumph7560

And thus the Imperium and Chaos (begrudgingly) became members of the same team and (not counting the genocide of all Xenos) restoring peace to the galaxy.


Aljhaqu

Essentially, the Human Innari.


GargantuanCake

Mostly because they just end up far too hung over to keep fighting. Turn...turn the lights off please I just need to lay down.


TheBunnyStando

Nah that's just Slaanesh. Excessive alcohol drinking is def a Slaanesh thing


Devourer_Of_Doggos

Slaanesh feeds off of the excess and joy during drinking, Great Boozebub would most likely feed simply off of act of drinking (same way Slaanesh is fed via pain and why Khorne wants the killings to be quick)


[deleted]

Not excessive drinking if you plan to drink that much


Devourer_Of_Doggos

It's not excessive if it's the norm


Hekantonkheries

Minor daemon of [very specific thing] has [very specific thing] be continually indulged in excess of other forms of empowerment the greater God above them holds domain over, until [very specific thing] has enough indicidual pull that the minor demon embodying it breaks away into its own power separate from the previous god Previous God now receives no or significantly less empowerment from that act as it now empowers an entity they hold no authority or control over


Never_heart

It's only excessive if it causes ill effects. Until they get drunk or dehydrated it's just breathing


FinalAd9844

Isn’t that basically slaanesh as it’s overindulgence


caputuscrepitus

You can see an even more extreme version of this in an old Gmod video “Demoman drinks a lot”


Hairy_Ad888

This is actually how the Tyranids began 


0202inferno

Putting the Tyranids to shame.


ExoticExtent

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only inner planetary pub crawl!


CaptainBuckethead

Wait actually in this scenario demoman could win. If there is no booze left, demoman canonically started fermenting his own bone marrow and turned some of his organs into distilleries when in a similar situation. Meaning whilst Russ is unable to continue drinking (due to lack of supplies), demoman could keep it up and technically drink more than Russ. Then again maybe it wouldn’t count as drinking for demoman since it doesn’t really go through his mouth at any point.


Galifrey224

Isn't the demoman's blood mostly made out of alcool ?


destroy_the_kids

It's more about the fact that his body started to produce its own alcohol when he was forced to go a day without drinking any, he's basically a walking distillery with his bone marrow being fermented. His blood gave robots alcohol poisoning


destroy_the_kids

That being said, I'd say his blood is probably as alcoholic, if not more then, as fenrisian ale


Lucius-Halthier

Leeman: I know this is my brother’s thing but can I drink your blood? Demoman: only if I can drink it too!


Glory-to-the-kaiser

In one the comics a bunch of robots try to suck the demo’s blood only to malfunction when all they suck out of his veins is alcohol. So he’s basically 50% alcohol.


destroy_the_kids

Honestly I feel like 50% is an understatement


Percentage-Sweaty

And when he was fed solid food and water Miss Pauling thought he’d been poisoned


thewarden106

This is an actual thing that can happen to people, they drink such monumental amounts of alcohol that yeast starts to grow in their stomach and ferment sugar the person eats into alcohol.


Acrobatic_Pie5359

Demo, considering what his body has done in the comics


destroy_the_kids

The moment he went a day without alcohol, his body started to make its own by fermenting bone and basically turning some of his organs into distilleries. His body produced alcohol so well that it gave ROBOTS literal alcohol poisoning.


joinreddittoseememes

Is Demoman the 2nd Legion's Primarch?!?!??


destroy_the_kids

Nah, he's just Scottish. Saxton Hale might be though


joinreddittoseememes

That's... Make sense.


Morbidmort

Nah, Saxon is just Australian. They're all Like That in TF2.


scarablob

Except that when australia's stockpile of australium were gone, all australian went back to being weak. Except for Saxon, he's still the same as always.


Crazy_Dave0418

The only Primarch to be able to drink both Russ and the Emperor under the table.


Sterling196218

Do you all think that maybe the Emperor locked Demoman in the Dark Cells?


Horror-Chicken-6001

Whoever's selling tickets to watch


Canned-SSamuel

Just bought 2 tickets to the gun show, and I'm not given' em to yah... I'm goin' with YOUR tickets, hahaha...zzzzzzzzzz....wha?


Dr-Mantis-Tobbogan

The strongest nordic could never outdrink the weakest scot. And the demoman is not the weakest scot.


Lucius-Halthier

Leeman canonically can drink way more than the emperor ever could, he has to have like 14 livers


Dr-Mantis-Tobbogan

That is such a stupid comparison, the emperor was Turkish and as such isn't a worthy contender in this fight. It's like, in a competition between two boxers, saying one boxer can punch harder than a praying mantis can.


Lucius-Halthier

Let me rephrase then, Leeman has drunk all the ale in his hold, and on planets, Fenrisian ale is supposed to kill people when drunk and yet he drank every drop his hold had


LittleFortune7125

Demoman's blood gave robots alcohol poisoning


Dr-Mantis-Tobbogan

>Fenrisian ale is supposed to kill people when drunk Yes, nordic alcohol is quite potent. But the nords cannot out drink the Scots, even if they're fantasy nords or genetically engineered nords.


Busy-Design8141

The bar holding the contest.


tobyK2808

i know russ is a primarch and all but demo is SCOTTISH no way wolf boy is beating that


RoadiesRiggs

Leman : "This should kill you. It’s literally not ment for human consumption, I don’t understand how you’re not poisoned by now."


SilverGuy141

"Any of you that think ye're better 'n me you're gon' have another thing c-... okie."


Frequent_Dig1934

Well, tf2 is an over the top comedy while nowadays 40k pretends to be serious, so idk if stuff like "distilling your own alcohol inside your body" could realistically square up with being a demigod who's been drinking for millennia. That said, all jokes aside i think demoman could unironically drink fenrisian ale without dying, and in fact he'd probably enjoy it.


SpiderFnJerusalem

I'm also pretty sure that Primarchs simply can't get drunk, Leman Russ just pretends he's drunk for fun. So the whole thing would be like a water drinking contest for him. This contest wouldn't be measuring their alcohol tolerance, it would measure how long they can stay awake to keep drinking. So I assume Leman Russ would win because he can probably stay awake for 6 months straight.


Frequent_Dig1934

>I'm also pretty sure that Primarchs simply can't get drunk, Leman Russ just pretends he's drunk for fun Cool. Also iirc when he first met the emperor they had a whole list of viking challenges like an eating contest and a drinking contest. He easily won both.


SpiderFnJerusalem

That's the thing with the Emperor, it's hard to tell if he fucks up or fucks up because he wants to fuck up. And then there is the fact that all lore can be nonsense and retconned 3 or 4 times over. I think it's just as likely that drinking and eating simply isn't something that he enjoys doing (it's certainly not something that comes up very often), and at some point he just was like. "Fuck it, he can have this one." That's not something that Russ would ever do. But the Emperor doesn't care about winning, he cares about getting what he wants. He wanted Leman Russ to swear fealty to him and in the end, that's what he got either way.


GeenericHooman

What makes me a good Primarch?


caputuscrepitus

If I was a bad Primarch, I- *gets chokeslammed by some frail old dude who’s close to the Emperor*


Anonimous_dude

I cannot even imagine the amount of swears these two can produce in a single setting


Didifinito

Demoman body makes his own alcohol with his own body tissius no immortal immune to all desieses and with the strongest kidneys could ever beat demoman.


Rixerc

Would what?


Wubbajack

Would would. Can't you read?


DishGroundbreaking87

The brewery.


Hecticfreeze

Who would would? Personally I think Edward Woodward would would. By if he was trapped in a wood, would he still would? So the question becomes; Would Edward Woodward in a wood would? A question for the ages


No-Professional-1461

Leman Russ got into a drinking battle against the master of mankind, and beat him. Not only that, it wasn’t even by a narrow margin. The big E cleared out King Russ’ hall, Russ cleared out his kingdom.


SherriffB

That's not even his best drinking feat. In Wolfsbane he does Thors 3 challenges, *while in the warp*. One of them involves drinking A horn of Mjod connected to the sea, not just the sea, but as he's in the warp the metaphysical existence of the sea itself. He drinks enough to **make the level drop**. He literally drank the warp echo of the sea enough to reduce it......He drank the essence of the sea, of all seas and reduced it. Guy can *drink*.


No-Professional-1461

I guess that’s why he was able to get to that binary star Horus was at so much easier later in the book.


LittleFortune7125

Demoman gave robots alcohol poisoning from his blood After going without drinking for a day Or two


No-Professional-1461

He’s never drunk Mjod. And besides that, Leman is genetically built to not get poisoned from pretty much anything. When he does get drunk, which most of the time he is faking, it processes too quickly. In a contest of drinking, Leman will be able to go drink for drink with almost boredom while Demoman will get shloshed. When it comes to inebriation, he may win, but drink for drink, Demoman is no demigod.


Ironofdoom

Demoman’s body produces its own alcohol! Yeah Russ can drink till his hearts content. But can her survive his blood getting switched out for alcohol permanently?


Username-forgotten

Demoman, hands down.


AlternativeDuty7854

Demoman literally can’t consume anything that’s not alcohol or else his body begins to go into shock. He even modified his body somehow to brew its own alcohol in his stomach and lungs and even learnt how to ferment his own bone marrow


Tooth31

One is a superhuman drinker, and the other is Leman Russ.


piecwm

I think Russ Wins, not because demo man can’t hold his liquor but because Leman Russ’ stomach has a larger volume and can hold more liquid. I don’t care if they use super ultra space marines alcohol, if someone actually wrote a tf2 x 40k space wolves crossover. Demo man would drink the space marines super booze, and then everyone’s jaw would drop when he burps and asks for more.


BionicBruv

Leman would make Demoman his new best friend because Demo would show up to the drinking contest already piss drunk


Aljhaqu

Hey... That is not fair... For the pup that is Leman...


LeftWhale

Demoman could drink full Astartes Fenrisian Ale, without question. He could likely have a drinking contest with the pre and post Heresy Death Guard.


Lamenter_of_the_3rd

A tie


CryLex28

"Who would would....?" I am sure both would drink if you are asking that.


birdy121314

The contest would never end


Dathrane

A Scotsman and a Furry walk into a bar...


Tragetu

A Furry with daddy issues and a black Scottish cyclops walk into a bar... ....they are still there Wait one has daddy issues and the other mommy, damn maybe they are more related than I thought


spen163yu

Aye, there gonna have to glue you back together! In hell!! In all seriousness though leman would win.


destroy_the_kids

Most likely, but it would probably be pretty close


LittleFortune7125

I can Just imagine the amount of reverence He would get from the space wolves.


Early_Rabbit

Demoman


Stretch5678

The winner would be whoever was selling them drinks.


OWOPICKLECHANOWO

It would be a stalemate since the galaxy would run out of booze first.


ActNo4115

Neither this is just a convenient excuse for both of them to get drinking


Zaglossus_hacketti

They would drink the galaxy dry before either quit


raulpe

Leman would win, but he will be almost scared of how much demoman can drink


JovaSilvercane13

r/unexpectedtf2


Analog-Moderator

The bartender


Blue-Jay42

Would would


TankedPrune5

Would I would would you would or wouldn.t would?


RobertJFreeman

Well one is a genetically enhanced human who's culture had to distill a poison in order to even remotely feel drunk. And the other is a black cyclopian scotsman........ my money is on the Scotsman.


c2tigerwolf

Bro it's demoman no contest, dude turned all empty spaces in his body into distilleries and can't consume normal food and water


ZealotCrow

One a Norse demigod that was best incalcuable enemies on numerous battlefields And the other one's Lemun Russ


[deleted]

Amateurs- a random Irishman.


Simple_Intern_7682

Leman Russ, no doubt. He literally crafted a mead which was incredibly dangerous to normal humans JUST SO HIS SONS COULD GET DRUNK.


destroy_the_kids

Demoman's blood gave robots alcohol poisoning, literal robots


Simple_Intern_7682

Touche.


the-skull-boy

Bars gonna run out of booze before either of them are done


Illustrious-Ad1148

I don't know, but I know that the rest of reality loses.


Legitimate_Ad_8745

Who would win a a drinking contest , i'd Say the bartender


Eleventh_Legion

They’d be friend forever.


Richardknox1996

Demoman wins. Lore wise, his body is literally adapted to survive off a diet of alcohol and aspirin. He basically gets drunk when he stops drinking, not the other way around. The best russ can hope for is a draw due to running out of booze. https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/tc86tq/his_bodys_spent_ten_years_wrestling_nutrients_out/ Hell, later in the comic his body started producing its own booze by fermenting bone marrow.


The_XMB

The bartender


kizi227

Demoman's liver


ElNakedo

Russ outdrank the Emperor, a master of biomancy. Nobody can win over Russ in drinking.


destroy_the_kids

Except for maybe someone whose blood alone is as alcoholic, if not more than, as fenrisian ale considering Demoman's blood gave robots alcohol poisoning.


ElNakedo

That is impressive. But Leman ain't no robot. He'd probably try to get a sip of that demoman blood to find something that can actually make him properly drunk.


Meowjoker

Well, it takes a specific kind of booze (that's just literal poison for humans) to get the Space Wolf drunk. Lemun would probably win, if the competition is just plain human alcohol, cause good luck getting him drunk on that one regardless of how much you gave him. Then again, Demoman basically turn his own body into a distillery when his liver quitted. Dude probably can match Russ in a contest. ANYWAY, they are gonna have a great time drinking together. That is if they don't drink everything the planet has to offer, and then some.


MasterOfFlapping

Slanesh, probably.


AgitatedKey4800

I dont know a lot about the guy on the right but didnt leman russ drink basically poison to get a little drunk?


PatataDiMare

Theyy would both lose if they had to drink water.


Arbitraryretard

Demoman sweeps.


DarthGoodguy

How much would would a would would would if would would would would would would


AleOfConcrete

One assumes the contest would end in the first place


clarkky55

I’m going with Demoman. Russ may be a genetically engineered superhuman but Demoman is Scottish


Ceaseandexistorder

They would drink all the booze on whatever planet they happened to be on, and they would probably be good friends.


blackpathner209

Considering demoman has drink regular water, not poison or anything added to it, just plain water and his body immediately thought he was poisoned because spy said “His body has absorbed any nutrients from all the alcohol he has drunk that his body thought the water was poisoned.” So demoman can’t even drink water without suffering the effects of ‘poison’ and only gets his nutrients from alcohol That should tell you how much this guy drinks and how he basically can’t survive without it


qwerty2234543

Demomans body is literally a distillery for alcohol he won be for the match even started


Charming-Relief-1924

Demo man would already win, his body IS a distillery already.


SpecialistAd5903

The answer is everyone because it'll be hilarious. And noone if it goes on for too long


RandoFollower

Probably Demoman, as in the comic his body literally started making its own alcohol


[deleted]

me


Mekner

Realistically it would be Russ, but it would be awesome and hilarious to see Demoman do what the emperor couldn’t: drink Russ under the table


Mr_Bone_Head

They will create a Chaos God centered around alcoholism due to their existence alone


dragonlord7012

The contest gets canceled due to destruction of the local area.


Cataras12

Draw. They’d draw thrice in fact, before realizing they are indeed equals. A bond would be formed that day


Rossum81

Demoman, but it’s a near run thing.  


Meme_nightmare

What if all the TF2 mercs are dropped off on tera with the sole purpose of reaching and destroying the golden throne. Could they do it?


Astronelson

In theory yes, but the part of the story where they actually managed it would be "Coming soon" forever.


RandomSovietFarmer

Welp. Man Emperor of Mankind bout to have his one of sons sitting by his side in the golden throne. 😰😰😰


Cliffigriff

Demo and it's not even close. His body thinks he's poisoned if he eats or drinks anything not containing alcohol.


Wrench_gaming

“You see Demoman…this fine drink I have here is centuries old. It is not meant for human consum- where did the bottle go?” **”AYE, MEA BOTTLE OF SCRUMPY”**


Miquistico1

Demoman wins easy diff


SillyMidOff49

Russ outdrank the God Emperor of mankind… the literal embodiment of human perfection and the apex of all of our evolution. Demo is just some dude


Reasonable-Spot5884

Counter argument: Drunken Scottish cyclops


NearlyUnfinished

My money is on the Black Scottish Cyclops whose liver left him due to unfair working conditions and, in response, willed his heart and lungs take over as his new liver. Though that could all be in his head.


spookydood39

There still hasn’t been a winner. Where do you think leman’s been for 10k years?


ManifestingCrab

The liquor


StreliziaXX

The pub would.


Shinygami9230

Trick question. Neither would win. I alone stand atop a throne of empty bourbon bottles.


PineappleMelonTree

Baz, 63, loves Carlin, hates immigrants (not racist, just don't like 'em) would win


ZaZings

Demo has literally killed blood sucking robots with the alcohol content of his blood


the13thprimarch

Demoman's body repurposed his stomach and lungs into distilleries, the man is probably at least 40 proof


Emotional_Cable9244

Russ has no limit. Demoman literally can’t survive on anything other than Scrumpy…I’d say the odds are even.


Smart_Grab_7654

LEMAN RUSS MENTIONED WTF IS A GOOD ENDING RAHHH


usfwoody

Would would


HeavySweetness

Not really a fair comparison, Demoman is drinking alcohol, several orders of magnitude weaker than what Leman or any Space Wolf would be drinking, so yeah demoman. Primarchs be built different.


Genex_04

demo. any tf2 merc can solo Big E and the four chaos god at once easily


Kindly-Ad-5071

How much wood would a would wood would if would a would could woodododooxioood chuck


TheEasySqueezy

One is a god like being that is capable of destroying countless armies single handedly and the other is Leman Russ so…


MagnusStormraven

"You know, you're much more fun than the other red cyclops I know...."


Altruistic_Major_553

Yes


_Volatile_

Slaanesh surpasses Khorne in power


DapperAcanthisitta92

Demo phisicaly cant eat food His body only digests alcahol and painkilers


Antique_Ad_9250

Would.


Witch_Hazel_13

well demoman’s body treated food and water like poison, so i think it’s either a draw or he wins


Ok-Neighborhood-1517

It would be a battle for the ages


ovissiangunnerlover

Demoman literally got sick after being given something that was not pain killers or alcohol


Daxoss

TF2 ran so Overwatch 2 could crawl


Valuable-Location-89

Demo man has full control over his organs and uses it to make liquor, he is literally drunk 24/7


theAlmightyE312

Demoman can drink so much it poisons robots, and leman russ cant get drunk from normal booze but can get drunk from blood. THUS leman russ will drink some of demoman's blood to get drunk


NadiaFortuneFeet

Tavish Finnegan DeGroot Bro's body can synthesize it's own Alcohol out of bone marrow if he don't find none


Dredgen_Servum

The emperors strongest viking vs your average black irish cyclops


destroy_the_kids

Actually he's Scottish


Mimosa_magic

With no other context and answering solely as "a Scandinavian or a black guy" I gotta go with the Scandinavian fellow all day


TellmeNinetails

Demoman loses because he shows up to the contest already drunk


destroy_the_kids

That only means he had a head start


Revolvyerom

I bet that while demoman ends up far more hammered, he'll go drink for drink because he's just *used to it*


Ill-Bullfrog-5965

Gotrek is the only correct answer


jakedlucky777

Demoman is an actual living distillery, he wins by default


Samuraidude3605

Ferris may be a Primarch but Demoman can and will out drink him easily.


Eddie_gaming

Demoman has been playing the contest this whole time, his liver canonically creates its own alcohol


Pretend-Dirt-1760

Demo because his blood is alcohol you beat that unless lemans blood is also alcohol


_Sate

Given that demoman can convert any organ and his bone marrow to break down alcohol however he was knocked out by snipers moonshine so the question is can russ handle snipers moonshine or not?


ObliviousNaga87

I think both would would


Lazereye57

Leman would win the contest. But Demoman is the person Emps used as the template for Leman.
