The Leet World is a Counter Strike-based Machinima which follows the exploits of two teams – 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:

  • Artificial Human - The hostages, Asher and Player.
  • 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."
  • Badass Normal - Almost everyone, except the robots and Ahmad while on HAX.
  • Big No - Chet whenever Player is killed or injured.
  • Berserk Button - Season 2, Episode 10, Part 2, Ahmad and the threatening of his friends.
  • Catch Phrase - Montrose's "Bitch got served."
  • Cain And Abel - Cortez and Mendoza.
  • Cool Old Guy - 50-year old Westheimer is repeatedly referred to as "old" and fits the trope almost perfectly.
  • Crowning Moment Of Awesome - Several, including the cast's battle agianst the Ochos Muertos in the first season and Ahmad's battle with Asher in the second.
  • 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 - Two examples: The Producer and the Domination Guy.
  • Gratuitous Spanish - Mendoza, the Ocho Muertos, and especially Cortez all speak mostly English with Spanish sprinkled here and there.
  • 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.
  • Defeat Means Friendship - The Domination Guy, after being beaten by Cortez.
  • 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.
  • Flash Step - Ahmad uses this when boosting his speed with HAX.
  • Handicapped Badass - Cortez's near-blindness doesn't stop him from reaching new heights in badassitude.
  • Heroic Sacrifice - Ahmad tackles Asher just before Asher's self-destruct sequence goes off, saving the rest of the cast.
  • I'm Not Here To Make Friends, This Is A Competition - Various characters, especially Cortez in the first half of season one and Westheimer in the second half.
  • Insult Backfire - In Season 1 Episode 2
    Ellis: I believe that Montrose, here, is the only one who wears panties?
    Montrose: Oh, you mean the ones I got from your dad?
    Ellis: Oh, ye-well what a...bout...son of a bitch!
    Montrose: Everyone hear that sound? Bitch got served!
  • Jerkass - Cortez and Player, although Cortez mellows a bit to become more of a Jerk With A Heart Of Gold in the second season (to his team, at least.)
  • Lame Excuse - Chet's "condition" in episode 2.8.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Mysterious Mercenary Pursuer - The Domination Guy.
  • Noodle Implements - Ellis has nightmares where Ahmad kills him "with an eggbeater and some perserverance."
  • Overly Long Name - Cortez Emilio Alejandro Jesus Cardinal. End of story.
  • Precision F Strike - The producer's last words are a deadpan "Well, shit."
  • Punctuated Pounding - Ahmad punctuates his pounding of Asher with shotgun blasts.
    Ahmad: "YOU!" *BANG* "LEAVE!" *BANG* "MY!" *BANG* "FRIENDS!" *BANG* "ALONE!" *BANG*
  • Reality TV Show Mansion - The Leet World House, although it is far from extravagant.
  • 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 flashing red after receiving his reprogramming was the final confirmation that he definitely wasn't human.
  • 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—
    Player: OMG STFU!!
    Producer: Well, Player, I—
    Player: STFU PL0X!!!
    Producer: But—
    Player: *NEGATIVE*
    Producer: I just have one—
    Chet: Oh, for fuck's sake, just kill him, bra!"
  • 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?
    Cortez: "I do not need my eyes to kill a man."
  • Talking To Himself - Eddie voices Cortez, Westheimer, Montrose and the Domination Guy. Daniel voices both Chet and the Producer.
  • Tear Jerker - Ahmad's last words.
  • The Chessmaster - The Producer.
  • The Only One Allowed To Defeat You - Cortez and Westheimer, although in the latter's case it's more "arrest you." Usually.
  • Tourette's Syndrome - Ahmad after his stint on HAX leaves him with brain damage.
  • Wham Episode - Episode 2.7, and then again shortly afterwards with episode 2.10.
  • Worthy Opponent - Westheimer and Cortez, albeit begrudgingly; the Domination Guy, for Cortez.
