I remember it was Gary Whitta, but that's pretty much it.

"Shoot That Guy" goes back to time immemorial, before days, months, or even years were measured.

Yeah I can't remember if it was TF2, COD:BLOPS or BF2. Whichever was first.

I'm fairly sure it was a CoD game, and doubt it was TF2 as I seem to remember Jeff was playing.

Yeah, I think it was the Black Ops TNT, the same one where they were talking about a penis spitting flames, and Jeff running into the napalm airstrike after making it very clear that you shouldn't run into it...

EDIT: No clip of "shoot that guy", but I'm pretty sure that it was the Black Ops TNT.

No, it was a TF2 TNT. I can't remember if it was one where it was the Thursday Night Tested TF2 or the one with Ryan that had Gary, Norm and Will on the couch, but it was one of them. I think Will was doing shit and suddenly went on a streak when Gary started to "coach" him.

I'm pretty sure it was the CODBLOPS one that it started on and then it would come up on every TNT Gary was on after that. I'm sure of this as I never watched the TF2 TNT's or many of the other FPS TNT's for that matter.

It was Need for Speed TNT in which he said "Get em!" when Ryan was a cop car trying to take down a street racer. Everyone laughed at Gary's common sense non-advice.

while we're at it, can someone get to the bottom of "use more skill?"

I remember it being an after-death tip in some game that got streamed, but I don't remember which one.

I believe it was in the Medal of Honor TNT in 2010 (if not the first it is one of the very early Gary Whitta appearances)

It was the TF2 TNT with the tested guys. Gary Whitta started it. Get your facts checked people.

All I remember is it was the TF2 TNT where Will stormed a castle of some kind. That's the first time I heard it.

Yeah, kinda. But he never sais exactly "shoot that guy" in that video, mostly variations of "kill that soldier" and so on, from what I heard. Maybe there really is a better example of it?

It is a call back to Garry Whita's guide for Doom or Doom 2 when his advice for the boss was "To defeat the Cyberdemon, shoot at it until it dies."

@Loafsmooch: He does say it, he says variations also but this is probably the first time that it comes up and it eventually turns into "Shoot that Guy" as common sense advice from Gary.

This definitely is one, but it's not THE one.  
The main one everyone remembers is specific because Gary is berated for how vague his advice was, it also coined the phase 'use more skill', and they continue to call back to it through out the rest of the TNT after the fact. 
I'm almost positive it's the Black Ops TNT and I'll rewatch it to make sure

I swear to god it's the Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit TNT in which Gary says "Get him!" and Ryan points out how helpful his expert advice is. Suspiciously the Twitchtv and JustinTV pages don't load for me. Coincidence? Or is someone trying to change the history books?!

I also really like the whole "Use more skill" thing, and I'm pretty sure that came from the chat.

This is ridiculous. The phrase "shoot that guy" was created during the Medal of Honor TNT on October 7, 2010. The phrase references Gary's advice to Jeff, but the exact wording, "shoot that guy", was uttered by Ryan.
