''Odd Men Out'' is a ''{{Franchise/Halo}}'' {{Machinima}} comedy series created by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Chronicler177 Chronicler177]]. The series is set in the year 2095, where the world has exhausted all of its oil resources. Two rival companies, the Global Resource Network (GRN) and Oil Refining and Natural Gas Enterprises (ORNGE) have each set up an oil harvesting station in Northern Alaska, where Earth's last batch of oil is located. Due to the scarcity of the resource, both companies declared war on one another and the unfortunate security teams forced to fight said war are the [[TitleDrop Odd Men Out]].

!This series provides examples of:
* AntagonistTitle: Season 2 is titled "The Mercenary Crisis" with the mercenary in question being [[BigBad Butler]].
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Given Mack's terrible treatment of his subordinates, especially Joey, it's hard not to cheer when Maylor blows him to kingdom come in Episode 5 of season 1.]]
** Nonlethal example with Pete.
* BackFromTheDead:
** [[spoiler: Mack returns from the dead in Episode 10 of Season 1 after being killed in Episode 5 by Maylor. This is because Mack was resurrected by [[GreaterScopeVillain the Necromancer.]]]]
* BadBoss: Mack abuses his position constantly, be it forcing everyone to drink the same kind of coffee he likes, taking away Joey's morphine, ordering Tyler to pester Joey for talking back to him, calling Leo a freak for being immortal, forcing them to go on near suicidal attacks while he himself stays behind in the safety of the GRN base, or just being an all around unpleasant person. [[spoiler: And yet, despite all this, Mack's tight leadership and rigorous training does push the Greens to become better, albeit reluctantly. This is exactly why [[BigGood Flim]] selects him to be part of his team. By the season 2 finale, Mack seems to have mellowed out somewhat, and is willing to defend his teammates from Butler on the ground that only he gets to push his team around.]]
--> '''Mack''': Welcome to the Macktatorship, gentlemen. [[BlatantLies We're going to get along just fine.]]
** Pete is a more straight example.
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler: Butler not only manages to fight off the ambush the Greens and Oranges set up for him, but he also gravely wounds Tyler and drives them back into the ORNGE base, where they're forced to hole up for almost half the second season.]]
* BigBadEnsemble: [[spoiler: [[BountyHunter Butler]] and [[KnightOfCerebus the Necromancer]]. Butler serves as the primary antagonist from the season 1 finale up until the halfway point of season 2, where the Necromancer is introduced, who proceeds to [[EvilerThanThou usurp]] the title from him.]]
* BigGood: [[spoiler: Flim is revealed to be this by the end of the second season. He hired the Greens and Oranges so he could build a team of soldiers to save the world from the likes of [[BigBad the Necromancer]].]]
* BigNo: Joey when [[spoiler: Tyler gets shot by Butler in the season 1 finale.]]
* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler: Mack was not only resurrected, but given superpowers in the process, such as super speed and super strength.]]
--> [[spoiler: '''Mack''': Perks of being undead, motherfucker! This job has its bonuses!]]
* CerebusSyndrome: The series started out as a lighthearted comedy about two oil companies feuding over the last batch of oil in the world. [[spoiler: Halfway through season 1, however, the tone takes a darker shift with the introduction of [[BountyHunter Butler]], Mack mysteriously returning from the dead, and Flim stealing the ORNGE's money required to pay for Butler's services, leading to the mercenary trying to kill them all. It gets much worse when the Necromancer shows up in season 2, as all comedy is vanishes when he's on screen.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: One of the central elements to the series is how the Greens and Oranges develop as people throughout their experiences.
* ChristmasEpisode: The Christmas Special halfway through the first season.
* ColorCodedCharacters: The Greens and the Oranges, naturally.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler: Mack quite literally punches out the Necromancer, who has been established as an extremely powerful being. Muppet also gets in on this when his explosives destroy the Necromancer's lair and forces him into a period of recuperation.]]
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler: Flim refers to Butler as "practice" for the Necromancer. Although the Necromancer is a bigger threat than Butler, this trope gets turned on its head when the Necromancer is defeated in the penultimate episode of the season, leaving Butler as the FinalBoss. But in the grand scheme of the series, Butler still qualifies as the Necromancer is revealed to still be alive.]]
* DoubleAgent: [[spoiler: Mack is revealed to be one in Episode 14 of season 1. Season 2 reveals he was working for the Necromancer.]]
* TheDragon: [[spoiler: Mack is this for [[BigBad the Necromancer]] for most of season 2 after being resurrected. He eventually pulls a HeelFaceTurn after the Necromancer's BadBoss tendencies become more apparent.]]
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler: The Greens and Oranges form one to take down Butler in the season 1 finale. It doesn't go well. They fare much better in season 2, however.]]
* EvilIsHammy: [[BigBad Butler]] [[ChewingTheScenery loves to make loud, over the top speeches of just how screwed his victims are before he kills them.]] In fact, he hams it up so much, the Greens and Oranges are annoyed by it and hardly take his threats seriously unless they have to actually fight him.
* AFatherToHisMen: Maylor is this for the Oranges. Unlike [[BadBoss Mack]], Maylor cares about his men and sticks his neck out for them on several occasions. He also takes it personally when Kory and Muppet desert the ORNGE. In return, the Oranges are loyal to him. [[spoiler: Even when the ORNGE is revealed to be a ruse, the Oranges [[UndyingLoyalty still defer to Maylor as their boss.]]]]
* FireForgedFriends: By the series finale, Maylor has overcome his FantasticRacism towards the Greens.
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: The Necromancer is this for season 1. Though he doesn't appear until halfway through the second season, the Necromancer's influence is felt long before he officially shows up. He resurrects Mack and forces Flim to prepare the Greens and Oranges to face him.]]
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: [[spoiler: Mack wasn't the nicest guy to begin with, but he gets worse after Maylor kills him. [[GreaterScopeVillain The Necromancer]] revives him to be his [[TheDragon Dragon]] and act as a DoubleAgent for him in the GRN. By the end of the season, Mack returns to the heroes' side and this time, it seems to stick.]]
* HiredGuns: [[BountyHunter Butler]] was hired by the Oranges to kill the Greens in season 1. [[spoiler: This backfires when Flim steals the money they needed to pay Butler, which leads to him trying to kill them as well.]]
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Kory can't aim for shit. He failed to shoot Joey with a shotgun at ''point blank range''. In the second series finale, however, he actually manages to hit Butler, so as to display how far Kory has come.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
** Joey. [[spoiler: He's extremely short-tempered and quick to jump on Tyler for annoying him, but he clearly cares for him, even if he doesn't always show it. He openly shows concern when Tyler is shot by Butler in the season 1 finale, and when Leo calls him out for putting Tyler in harm's way, Joey is noticeably wracked with guilt. In addition, Leo is one of the few people Joey openly cares about. A notable instance is when he asserts that Leo isn't a freak, as Mack calls him, but his friend. He also makes it clear that he will do whatever he can to help him find the answers he's been looking for. Also, when the Necromancer chooses to interrogate Leo, Joey ''immediately'' steps in to protect the latter, despite being absolutely ''terrified'' of the Necromancer]].
** Mack also shows a more caring side in the season 2 finale. [[spoiler: After [[HeelFaceTurn helping]] the Greens and Oranges escape the Necromancer, Mack goes out of his way to defend his team from Butler, saying that nobody pushes around his teammates except him. He also doesn't have an issue in saving the world either, so long as he gets revenge on the Necromancer.]]
* KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler: Chris, courtesy of Muppet.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Chris, the original leader of the Greens, who's [[BoomHeadshot killed]] by Muppet in the pilot. The Christmas special brings him back as a ghost, however.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler: The Necromancer is the only character with absolutely zero comedic quirks and is played frighteningly straight as a villain.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler: Flim, though he's a more benevolent case. His ultimate plan was to create a team of perfect soldiers to save the world from a coming darkness. To prepare his team, he placed an enchantment on them to keep them from dying as he needed all of them alive for his plan. However, the arrival of [[BigBad the Necromancer]] forced Flim to hasten the process. To accomplish this, he convinced Maylor to hire [[BountyHunter Butler]] to kill the Greens. After Butler "succeeds", Flim steals all of the ORNGE's money that was needed to pay him, which leads to Butler turning on them as well. All of this was a ploy to get the Greens and Oranges to work together and take down a common enemy. It didn't exactly work out and when the Necromancer captured everyone, Flim had to take Muppet and reveal the entire plan to him, in order to secure his aid and help free the others. Once the Necromancer was dealt with, the teams finally defeated Butler and came together as a single, cohesive unit. Flim himself admits that it was a rough process, but is by and large satisfied with the results.]]
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: [[spoiler: When [[BadBoss the Necromancer]] calls Mack a "bone head" and threatens him for failing to capture Tyler, Mack eventually [[HeelFaceTurn betrays him]] and helps the Greens and Oranges escape in the penultimate episode of season 2.]]
* OnlySaneMan: Leo and Muppet for the Greens and Oranges, respectively. Leo, immortality aside, is much more mature and level-headed than his teammates--Mack is a BadBoss who abuses his authority, Joey is a foul-mouthed, lazy {{Jerkass}} with a morphine addiction, and Tyler is a naive {{Manchild}}. Muppet is one of the few characters who catches out that there's more going on in the canyon than they're being let on--Maylor is too caught up in defeating the Greens, Kory is too obstinate to object, and Flim is plain AxCrazy. Leo and Muppet even [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] their similar positions in season 2.

* TitleDrop: [[spoiler: Leo in the season 2 finale after they successfully defeat Butler.]]

* VitriolicBestBuds: Leo and Joey.
* WeCanRuleTogether: [[spoiler: The Necromancer offers this to Butler. He refuses because he's savvy enough to know that the Necromancer is a BadBoss who will get rid of him as soon as he finds someone better or [[YouHaveFailedMe fails him too many times]], which is highlighted by his attitude towards [[TheDragon Mack]] as he fails to find Tyler after he escapes confinement.]]
* WeaponOfChoice: Every character has one.

** Butler wields a SPARTAN laser and uses a Hardlight Shield.
** The Necromancer wields a scattershot.
* TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler: The Necromancer's first major act on screen is to utterly [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomp]] Butler when he tries to ambush him from behind, establishing that he's a much bigger threat than the mercenary.]]
