The Leet World is a Counter-Strike-based Machinima which follows the exploits of two teams of four Terrorists and four Counter-Terrorists as they compete against each other in a Reality Show. However, it soon becomes apparent that this is no ordinary TV show, and the two disparate teams are going to have to put aside their differences and make friends... or, as the creators put it, "we see what happens when they stop being noobs and start acting leet!"The Leet World is now finished. The series is known for its comedy, compelling underlying story, well-developed characters and great original music. The Leet World is made by Smooth Few Films, and can be viewed on their website here.
Examples:
A Storm Is Coming: Played with in Season 2, Episode 5, when Montrose mocks Ellis' cliche only for it to actually thunder.
Badass: Cortez views this concept as his credo. Upon meeting his team for the first time, he is disappointed that he seems to be the only one "with much experience in badass."
Cool Old Guy: 50-year old Westheimer is repeatedly referred to as "old" and fits the trope almost perfectly.
Confession Cam: An important part of each episode is the interviews, in which the cast members comment on the events taking place in the house and their fellow contestants.
Dr Sung: "How did you override the termination code?"
Player: I LEARNED FATHER.
Dr Sung: "So you have, my boy." [proud smile] "So you have."
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: Within the context of the challenges, getting killed means waiting in the Death Room until you respawn. Though it turns out that Death Is Cheap in the series as a whole.
Disability Superpower: Cortez and his killing-people-without-eyes schtick. Note that while he does not, in fact, need eyes to kill a man, he does completely fail at Marco Polo.
Everyone Calls Him Barkeep: Three examples: The Producer and the Domination Guy, as well as Cortez; his full name is Cortez Emilio Alejandro Jesus Cardinal.
Enforced Plug: The CTs receive advertising contracts after winning season 1, leading to Westheimer and Chet occasionally inserting plugs for "Sir Spice-a-Lot's Chicken" or "Koala Cola" into conversation.
Fate Worse Than Death: Ellis claims that dying in the Death room is "worse than death. Whatever that means."
Flash Step: Ahmad uses this when boosting his speed with HAX.
Gratuitous Spanish: Mendoza, the Ocho Muertos, and especially Cortez all speak mostly English with Spanish sprinkled here and there.
Handicapped Badass: Cortez's near-blindness doesn't stop him from reaching new heights in badassitude. In the beginning of Season 1, Ahmad compares him to Daredevil for this reason but is shot down by Ellis (Boy, if I have told you once, I have told you a thousand times that the Daredevil was gay!).
Heroic Sacrifice: Ahmad tackles Asher just before Asher's self-destruct sequence goes off, saving the rest of the cast.
Leeroy Jenkins: Played straight with Ahmad (running out in the open) and Player (team flash), even though the MMORPG-playing Leeroy is named after him (probably).
Leet Lingo: Player can only speak through text chat at the bottom of the screen, and does so exclusively in leet-speak.
Meaningful Name: The creators are based out of Houston, Texas. Montrose is the name of a street in Houston known for being inhabited by homosexuals. Doubles as a Genius Bonus.
Mega Manning: Player is supposedly capable of this, which is why the entire Leet World tournament was created: to train him to become the ultimate soldier.
Mexican Standoff: Round One of the first challenge ends like this; there are others, including when they're deciding what to do about Player.
Noodle Implements: Ellis has nightmares where Ahmad kills him "with an eggbeater and some perseverance." Also, he has a Cousin Austin who "can do things with a beet and a chicken that would distract anybody."
Overly-Long Name: Cortez Emilio Alejandro Jesus Cardinal. End of story.
Precision F-Strike: The producer's last words are a deadpan "Well, shit."
As well as the appearance of the Domination Guy:
Ellis: "Hey guys, come check this out; there's some fucked-up shit going on outside!"
The Producer: "Do not listen to Ellis. Return to the house. Do not go look at the fucked-up shit."
Rivals Team Up: The Terrorists and the CTs, against some outside force.
Robotic Reveal: While his Artificial Human status had been hinted at since his introduction, and confirmed just moments before, Asher's eyes flashingred after receiving his reprogramming was the final confirmation that he definitely wasn't human.
Running Gag: Many, including Leeroy's 'online social life,' Player's ass, and the ski-masked Ochos Muertos continually getting their names mixed up between them.
Shut Up, Hannibal!: Player and Chet to the Producer in the season 2 finale.
Chet: End of the line, Prod! Call off the attack on the House!
Producer: Oh, but we're just getting started. You see, Dr. Sung and I—
Son of a Whore: Westheimer's mother was a dear, but she was also "kind of a slut". Referenced in the second season by Cortez.
Cortez: "I know that your mother would not like that her son is as much a whore as she was."
Ahmad: "Oh snap!"
Sound Effect Bleep: Most swear words are bleeped out. Played with when a furious Ellis starts "inventing new ways to swear."
Ellis: "Those CTs have crossed the line! Next time I see one of those BLEEPs I'm gonna BLEEP the BLEEP out of their rat-BLEEPing hides with a BLEEP that's BLEEP 200 feet long!"
Sunglasses at Night: Why doesn't Cortez take his sunglasses off during a night fight in the rain?
Cortez: "Ah, noobito, you forget: I do not need my eyes to kill a man."
Tourette's Syndrome: Ahmad after his stint on HAX leaves him with brain damage.
Verbal Tic: Cortez and his apparent obsession with buuuurros.
Vitriolic Best Buds: Ellis and Montrose in the latter part of the first season and in the second, very much Type II. Particularly during the series finale, plus right after Montrose insinuates that Ellis likes farm animals and Ellis threatens to pee in his bed:
Westheimer: Why are you guys teaming up on me? Don't you hate each other?
Ellis: Uh, yeah. Loser. Let's get out of here, Montrose.
Montrose: Later, beeyotch.
Wham Episode: Episode 2.7, and then again shortly afterwards with episode 2.10.
Worthy Opponent: Westheimer and Cortez, albeit begrudgingly; the Domination Guy and Cortez; and, oddly enough, Mendoza to Westheimer.
Westheimer: If anything happens to my soldiers I'm gonna come after you myself, challenge be damned.
Mendoza: I would hope for nothing less.
Your Mom: Played with, Montrose responds with an insult with Your Dad. And it was actually good, so he followed up with a remark that became his Catch Phrase.
