About

The Epic Dancing Spy, or just Spy Dance, which contains the chain smoking, yet handsome Spy from Team Fortress 2, who usually is presented on a dispenser's screen and dances to Sonic CD Stardust Speedway Zone(Bad Future) (Japan) with his arms crossed together and randomly dances in a Physcedelic Backround.

Origin

In "Soldier Thinks he is a Robot", one of Rubberfruits videos before his permanent departure from Youtube, The Soldier and Heavy from Team Fortress 2 appear, like most of his other popular videos involving the characters.

During the course of the Video, The Soldier thinks he is a Robot and utters sound effects that are often used by Futuristic Retro Sci-Fi Robots, which also contains some of his Old Voice Commands ("Beep Boop", "Beep Boop Son, Beep Boop", ETC).

He later says that a RED Dispenser nearby is a Ghost, which leads to the Soldier crushing the Heavy's Head. The Dispenser turns on, but instead of the Gauge to show how much power it has before refill, a"dancing Spy" is seen, with his arms crossed together and randomly dances to the music sample mentioned above in a physcedelic backround.

The Dispenser is then Hurled into The Soldier after 27 seconds in, and he is turned into a gib of his foot
