The Leet World is a ''VideoGame/CounterStrike''-based {{Machinima}} which follows the exploits of two teams of four Terrorists and four Counter-Terrorists as they compete against each other in a RealityShow. 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 [[UnCancelled was finished]] in 2010, but a third season was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YCx8d3jstE announced for 2015]]. 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 [[http://smoothfewfilms.com/ here]].

!!Examples:
* AStormIsComing: Played with in Season 2, Episode 5, when Montrose mocks Ellis' cliche only for it to actually thunder.
* ArtificialHuman: The hostages, as well as [[spoiler: Asher]] and [[spoiler: Player]].
* BadassBookworm: Leeroy, particularly in the second season, although he's technically more of a [[PlayfulHacker Badass Hacker]].
* BadassNormal: Almost everyone, except [[spoiler: the robots]] and Ahmad while on HAX.
* BaldOfEvil: Dr. Soong.
* BattleInTheRain: Episode Seven of Season Two; subverted when [[spoiler: the Westheimer vs. Cortez showdown is interrupted by Asher putting a bullet in Cortez]].
* BigNo: Chet whenever Player is killed or injured.
* BerserkButton: Season 2, Episode 10, Part 2, Ahmad and [[spoiler: the threatening of his friends]].
* BorrowedCatchphrase: In Season 2, Episode 6, Player recklessly runs out into the open in the middle of a challenge. Westheimer, watching, screams "Player, nooo!" a la Chet. Chet even lampshades this by telling Westheimer, "it really sounds better when I say it."
* CatchPhrase: Montrose's "Bitch got served." to the point where it became an actual song that was used as credits music for one episode.
* CainAndAbel: Cortez and Mendoza.
* CoolOldGuy: 50-year old Westheimer is repeatedly referred to as "old" and fits the trope almost perfectly.
* ConfessionCam: 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.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Ahmad, particularly after HAX. Sometimes Player, [[spoiler: [[ArtificialHuman although he has an excuse...]]]]
* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Within the context of the challenges, getting killed means waiting in the Death Room until you respawn. [[spoiler: Though it turns out that DeathIsCheap in the series as a whole.]]
* DefeatMeansFriendship: The Domination Guy, after being beaten by Cortez.
* DisabilitySuperpower: 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.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Three examples: The Producer and the Domination Guy, as well as Cortez; his full name is Cortez Emilio Alejandro Jesus Cardinal.
* EnforcedPlug: The [=CTs=] receive advertising contracts after [[spoiler:winning season 1]], leading to Westheimer and Chet occasionally inserting plugs for "Sir Spice-a-Lot's Chicken" or "Koala Cola" into conversation.
* FateWorseThanDeath: Ellis claims that dying in the Death room is "worse than death. Whatever that means."
* FlashStep: Ahmad uses this when boosting his speed with HAX.
* GratuitousSpanish: Mendoza, the Ocho Muertos, and especially Cortez all speak mostly English with Spanish sprinkled here and there.
* HandicappedBadass: 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!).
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Ahmad tackles Asher just before Asher's [[SelfDestructMechanism self-destruct]] sequence goes off, saving the rest of the cast]].
* HollywoodTourettes: Ahmad after his stint on HAX leaves him with brain damage.
* [[ImNotHereToMakeFriends I'm Not Here To Make Friends]], ThisIsACompetition: 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 [[RealMenWearPink 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, though Cortez mellows a bit to become more of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold and Player... has an excuse.
* LastStand: The finale.
* LeeroyJenkins: Played straight with Ahmad (running out in the open) and Player (team flash), even though the MMORPG-playing Leeroy is named after him (probably).
* LeetLingo: Player can only speak through text chat at the bottom of the screen, and does so exclusively in leet-speak.
* MeaningfulName: 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 GeniusBonus.
* MegaManning: [[spoiler: Player]] is supposedly capable of this, which is why [[spoiler: the entire Leet World tournament was created: to train him to become the ultimate soldier.]]
* MexicanStandoff: Round One of the first challenge ends like this; there are others, including [[spoiler: when they're deciding what to do about Player]].
* MysteriousMercenaryPursuer: The Domination Guy.
* NoodleImplements: 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."
* OverlyLongName: Cortez Emilio Alejandro Jesus Cardinal. End of story.
* PlayingSick: Chet's "condition" in episode 2.8.
* PrecisionFStrike: [[spoiler: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."
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: [[spoiler:Player's answer to Chet's question in the death room]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Chet''': Who are these guys?"]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Player''': Practice.]]
* PunctuatedPounding: Ahmad punctuates his pounding of [[spoiler:Asher]] with shotgun blasts.
-->'''Ahmad''': "YOU!" *BANG* "LEAVE!" *BANG* "MY!" *BANG* "FRIENDS!" *BANG* "ALONE!" *BANG*
* RatingsStunt: Or, the Producer's excuse for the ramped-up challenges in Season 2.
* RealityTVShowMansion: The Leet World House, although it is far from extravagant.
* RivalsTeamUp: The Terrorists and the [=CTs=], against some outside force.
* RoboticReveal: While his ArtificialHuman status had been hinted at since his introduction, and confirmed just moments before, [[spoiler: Asher's eyes [[GlowingEyesOfDoom flashing]] [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] after receiving his reprogramming]] was the final confirmation that he definitely wasn't human.
* RunningGag: Many, including Leeroy's 'online social life,' Player's ass, and the ski-masked Ochos Muertos continually getting their names mixed up between them.
* ShutUpHannibal: 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. Soong and I--\\
'''Player:''' [[LeetLingo 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, brah!"
* SonOfAWhore: 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!"
* SoundEffectBleep: 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!"
* SunglassesAtNight: 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."
* TalkingToHimself: Eddie voices [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Cortez]], [[TeamDad Westheimer]], [[CampGay Montrose]] and [[MysteriousMercenaryPursuer the Domination Guy]]. Nick voices both Chet and [[TheChessmaster the Producer]].
* TheChessmaster: The Producer.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Cortez and Westheimer, although in the latter's case it's more "arrest you." Usually.
* TheRestShallPass: [[spoiler: Ellis]] during the retreat to the garage, complete with [[TemptingFate "I'll be right behind you!"]]
* VerbalTic: Cortez and his apparent obsession with ''buuuurros''.
* VitriolicBestBuds: 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.
* WhamEpisode: Episode 2.7, and then again shortly afterwards with episode 2.10.
* WorthyOpponent: Westheimer and Cortez, albeit begrudgingly; the Domination Guy and Cortez; and, oddly enough, [[AxCrazy 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.
* YourMom: 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 CatchPhrase.
