Pyro wouldn't work 'cause you can't understand him. That leaves Demoman, Medic, and Sniper. Medic would just seem a strange choice to me -- an important class, but likely not the first class people think of when they think of TF2. Demoman could work, and Sniper probably could too. But I think Heavy's just funnier. He has that deep but silly voice, he has the mildly broken English, and he's nutty in pretty funny ways ("What was that, sandvich?").

That's my take on it, anyway.
And Soldier's not fun either.
