History Film / LazerTeam

** Many RoosterTeeth actors cameo in minor rolse as well.

** The function's on the helmet? Infrared, Ultraviolet, XRayVision, Spectrometer, [[WebVideo/TheSlowMoGuys Slow Mo]], and Beer Goggles.

** When [[spoiler:Zach is pointed at the 'other so called heroes']], among the crowd is a Ruby Rose cosplayer, Kerry in his ''Simple Walk Into Mordor'' outfit, and an X-Ray.

* AManIsNotAVirgin: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. When Zach is seduced by [[spoiler:a possessed Mindy]], he openly admits that this is actually the first time he's done this.

* DeusExMachina: When Woody activates stealth mode while hiding from Worg-possessed soldiers in the school, disabling everyone's weapons, a possessed soldier prepares to shoot Hagan when he tries activating his shield, only for Mindy to attack him with the bat she grabbed earlier.

* DareToBeBadass: Played straight when Hagan tells everyone that the alien threat is on their way in two days and if they won't fight it, who will. When he asks if they're with him, Zach responds [[SubvertedTrope "Hell, no!"]][[note]]This line is sadly [[DeletedScene cut from the final product.]][[/note]]

* OnlySaneMan: Hagan trough most of the movie, crossing with the SmartGuy until Woody's enhancements kicked in.

-->''"I wish I was dead!"''

* DitzyGenius: Woody, after putting on the helmet. His intelligence spikes and he gains massive mental capabilities, but he still seems to be rather goofy; he distracts his teammates from paying attention by trying to telepathically give them a warning that could have waited until after, he freaks out upon seeing a plastic skeleton, and he's surprisingly slow on the uptake that the Worg champion is aiming an attack at him. He also starts to affect a BritishAccent because Stupid Woody thinks that's what Smart Woody should sound like.

The teaser trailer can be seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eURMNR_J-ew here]] and the first official trailer can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI455Z37o30 here]].

* FantasticRacism: The aliens' want to eradicate the human race because they want to kill any races they deem weak seems a lot like this.

--> '''Herman: Hmm, well, thankfully we don't have to listen to that.

* TakeThat: One of the news crawls takes a shot at Film/{{Signs}}:

* CareerEndingInjury: Herman, "The Texas Tornado", was looking at a full ride scholorship as a running back when he took a hit that did permanent damage to his leg. [[spoiler:The hit came when "Half-Assed" Hagan missed a block, causing Herman to be very resentful towards Hagan.]]

* FreezeFrameBonus: The function's on the helmet? Infrared, Ultraviolet, XRayVision, Spectrometer, [[WebVideo/TheSlowMoGuys Slow Mo]], and Beer Goggles.

** This is pointed out several times in the film, both as a comment on Zach's {{Facebook}} post, and Woody comments on it once the helmet makes him smarter.

[[caption-width-right:350:The Heroes we have, not the ones we need. Or deserve. Or want.]]

** On top of that, the anchor himself is portrayed by frequent Rooster Teeth collaborator Ed Robertson of [[Music/BarenakedLadies The Barenaked Ladies.]]

* DawsonCasting: The official document concerning "six-year-senior" and high school quarterback Zach as seen in the film lists his birth year as 1996. Michael Jones was born in 1987

* EmbarrassingNickname: "Half-Assed" Hagan

* FreezeFrameBonus: The function's on the helmet? Infrared, Ultraviolet, XRayVision, Spectrometer, [[WebVideo/{{TheSlowMoGuys}} Slow Mo]], and Beer Goggles.

* TheHeart: Hagan and Woody both seem to have shades of this; Hagan's the one who pushes the team onto-task through dramatic speeches, while Woody is the most honestly decent member of the group and the one who the others have the least amount of scorn for.

* JumpingOnAGrenade: Well, it helps when you can use a power shield in between you and the exploding probe.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Woody, a country hick, played by Gavin Free, a brit from Oxfordshire. This is actually an InvokedTrope, as the helmet he dons, which heightens his intelligence and gives him a British accent.

* PowerPerversionPotential: Woody discovers his helmet's XRayVision as an attractive female scientist is explaining it to him. It backfires horribly when he looks at his male teammates.

* SelfDestructMechanism: The thing that was used to [[spoiler:possess Mindy]] once it was removed from it's host.

** A protester has a sign that spells "apocalypse" as "apockolips", similar to the [[ComicBook/NewGods dominion of]] ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}

** Both Herman and Vandenboom object to the military's [[NukeEm Plan B]] should Lazer Team fail by pointing out that they tried that in Film/IndependenceDay and it didn't work.

* SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish: Invoked as Woody slowly transitions from having a southern, redneck accent at the beginning of the film, to a posh, British one post putting on the mental-strengthening helmet. They explain that the only reason this is happening is because Woody really believes this trope.[[note]]Even funnier since Woody's actor, Gavin Free, actually is British.[[/note]]

* WhamShot: The final showdown with the Worg starts with the Worg Champion dramatically emerging from it's spacecraft [[spoiler:wearing a full set of Power Armor identical to the one the Antarians allegedly sent to help the heroes.]]

'''''Lazer Team''''' is the first feature-length film by Creator/RoosterTeeth Productions. It is a sci-fi comedy which premiered 24 September 2015 in Rooster Teeth's hometown of Austin. It stars Burnie Burns, Creator/GavinFree, Colton Dunn and Creator/MichaelJones.

** One news crawl describes a [[Film/{{Ghostbusters}} Dr. P. Venkman predicting a rise in "Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria"]] as a result of the alien spaceship.

* DrivenToSuicide: PlayedForLaughs. Woody suffers from a major case of {{squick}} when he discovers the XRayVision function on the helmet... and looks at his ''male'' companions, who aren't exactly the most attractive set of dudes. It doesn't help that the ''male'' technician who comes over to make an adjustment to the helmet pulls his head forward so that Woody is effectively looking straight at his crotch.
-->'''Woody:''' Oh, helmet! Oh, turn it off! Turn it off! Oh, God! I wish I was dead!

* DitzyGenius: Woody, after putting on the helmet. His intelligence spikes and he gains massive mental capabilities, but he still seems to be rather goofy; he distracts his teammates from paying attention by trying to telepathically give them a warning that could have waited until after, he freaks out upon seeing a plastic skeleton, and he's surprisingly slow on the uptake that the Worg champion is aiming an attack at him.

-->Four unlikely heroes have to save the planet. Whether we like it or not.

** Hagan commenting that the cruiser's brakes needed working on after using the brakes to slam Zach's head against the divider glass repeatedly\.

** Both Herman and Vandenbloom object to the military's [[NukeEm Plan B]] should Lazer Team fail by pointing out that they tried that in Film/IndependenceDay and it didn't work.

** Both Herman and Vandenbloom object to the military's [[NukeEm Plan B]] should Lazer Team lose or not show up by pointing out that they tried that in Film/IndependenceDay and it didn't work.

** Both Herman and Vandenbloom object to the military's [[NukeUm Plan B]] should Lazer Team lose or not show up by pointing out that they tried that in Film/IndependanceDay and it didn't work.

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: The patrol, and how. Not only are they possessed, but they also become zombie-like MeatPuppets after their Jeep crashes. And then they blown up by heroes.]]
