Pootis is a phrase said by the Heavy Weapons Guy in the online FPS game Team Fortress 2. It is a shortened version of the Heavy's voice command "Put dispenser here", which is used to request a Dispenser. It has similar usage to GOTTAM and PINGAS.

Origin

On August 1st, 2010, YouTube user "MisterLayton" uploaded a video titled "MEET THE POOTIS", which utilises the original "Meet the Heavy" video and replaces the dialogue with the edited version of the Heavy's Dispenser request quote. The video gained a small amount of attention, having received 2047 views as of April 2017.





Following this, on September 22, 2011, YouTube user "Schmell85" uploaded a Garry's Mod animation video titled "Meet the Pootis", featuring the quote. This video gathered much more attention than the original and is regarded by many to be the original "Pootis" video.
