About
Pyro’s Mind is Full of X is a series of exploitable videos resulting to the vision of the possible footage inside the mind of the Team Fortress 2 character called “Pyro”. It results the use of the actual footage of zooming inside in Pyro’s mind and then showing a different footage from a video game, a show or another viral media within the view in Pyro’s binocular.
Origin
The two footages at the beginning and at the end of such videos come from Valve’s latest video upload on YouTube. The video is called “Meet the Pyro” and was released on June 27, 2012. In this video it’s about finding out, what inhuman thoughts lie in Pyro’s mind. But after zooming in in Pyro’s mind, it shows joy and happiness.
Spread
In the same day, YouTube users “SUPERMARIOGALAXY13” and “MisterMid” created videos, which they show different footages in Pyro’s mind. In July 2, 2012 MisterMid’s video gained over 35.000 views, but the exploitabilty didn’t start until SUPERMARIOGALAXY13 uploaded his parody and immediately the first fad response has been submitted by “adamtheamazing64”. The idea of making a meme was inspired by this video and SUPERMARIOGALAXY13 uploaded a green screen template video at the same day, that every user used.
