Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Lazer Team is a 2015 science ficion action comedy film, and the first feature-length film by Rooster Teeth Productions. Directed and co-written by Matt Hullum, the film stars Burnie Burns (who also co-wrote and made the story), Gavin Free, Colton Dunn and Michael Jones.In the 1970s, the Earth was contacted by a group of aliens who warned of an incoming threat that would destroy the planet, and promised to send a suit of Powered Armor to help us. The Earth trained a human from birth to be its champion, but when the alien craft carrying the suit is accidentally shot down by a drunken firework display, four ordinary people don pieces of the armour instead. With the armour parts genetically locked to each person and mere days before the extraterrestrial threat lands on Earth, this dysfunctional and ill-prepared "Lazer Team" must learn to work as a unit if the world is to be saved.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Lazer Team was funded through Indiegogo. Its campaign, which lasted from June 6 to July 6, 2014, initially set a goal of $650,000, but support from the Rooster Teeth community was great enough that it broke the site's record for its quickest-funded film and reached one million dollars in only two days. The campaign eventually raised $2,480,334, which to this day is the record for the highest-funded film campaign on Indiegogo.The film premiered at Fantastic Fest on September 24, 2015, received a limited theatrical release on January 27, 2016, was made available on YouTube Premiumnote then called YouTube Red from February 10, 2016, and was added to Rooster Teeth's FIRST streaming service on November 3, 2017.The teaser trailer can be seen here, and the first official trailer can be seen here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })On August 5, 2016, a sequel was announced; it was eventually released on November 22, 2017. | |

Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping | |
| Lazer Team / int_35b241c0 | comment |
Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Woody, a country hick, is played by Gavin Free, a Brit from Oxfordshire. This is actually an Invoked Trope, as the helmet he dons heightens his intelligence and gives him a British accent. A regular example occurs when Woody first greets Hagan, as his line sounds like a mix of country hick and British, rather than specifically the former. After Herman pulls out a big firework, Woody says, "Ooh, The Mama Gigante." Sounds British than country. | |

Smart People Speak the Queen's English | |
| Lazer Team / int_3b920db5 | comment |
Smart People Speak the Queen's English: Invoked as Woody slowly transitions from having a Southern redneck accent at the beginning of the film to a posh, British one after putting on the intelligence-strengthening helmet. They explain that the only reason this is happening is because Woody really believes in this trope.note Even funnier since Woody's actor, Gavin Free, actually is British, and is essentially speaking in his regular accent now and was putting on a Fake American accent before. There are also a number of jokes cracked about Woody "becoming British", such as him exclaiming "Oh, Queen's beaver!" at one point and suggesting after the final battle that they all get fish and chips. | |

Humans Are Morons: When Zack considers turning themselves in to give the people protesting a chance to live, Herman notes that the protesters are idiots, noting one person who direly misspelled "apocalypse" on their poster (as "apockalips"). This is also ignoring that Zack himself unintentionally misspelled the word "laser" in his Facebook post (or he probably thought that "lazer" was cooler). | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Zach tells Mindy, when she is possessed and trying to get the Lazer gauntlet from him, that he want to bang her, but also that he thinks he's in love with her, and that maybe those two things have something to do with each other. Adam, although at first jealous of the Lazer Team for stealing the one thing he was ever expected to do, gets over it as soon as he sees that they are capable of working as a team, and might have a chance of pulling it off. | |

Big Good: The Antarians appear to be this, being that they went out of their way to warn humanity and give them the power they'd need to fight the Worg. Subverted, however, as it turns out they're actually the Big Bad; they've set up a tournament for all the different populations in space where they force them to provide a champion to fight for the Antarian's amusement, with the losers having their planet destroyed. Even though the Worg are violent brutes who go out of their way to cheat, they are only even fighting Earth at all because they are in the same situation as Earth and are only trying save their own planet from the Antarians. | |

Body Horror | |
| Lazer Team / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: The patrol that was possessed by the Worg continue moving, even as they are broken by the heroes. At one point, one has to use his left hand to raise his right arm in order to aim his weapon. The pieces of the suit literally drill themselves into the wearers. For Hagan, Zach, and Herman, this is just shown by the pieces seemingly clamping and they scream. But with Woody, his helmet has two giant screws sticking out of the top, which then proceed to drive themselves in and presumably penetrate his skull. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Lazer Team / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: The aliens' want to eradicate the human race because they want to kill any races they deem weak seems a lot like this. Ultimately averted, as the Worg are only doing this to protect their own planet. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| Lazer Team / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Adam goes from antagonizing the team (since they DID steal the armor he was destined to use) to acknowledging their talent that occasionally bypassed even his comprehension of the armor's capabilities. He ends up as their coach up to the final battle, and allows the Worg champion to kill him to give one final lesson in how to use the Dark Matter Beam. | |

Invisibility Cloak | |
| Lazer Team / int_66f69cd4 | comment |
Invisibility Cloak: The armor has a "Stealth Mode" activated through Woody's helmet that, when worn altogether, renders the wearer completely invisible. When worn separately, however, it only makes the individual suit pieces invisible, making it look like the members of the team have had their limbs (or their head in Woody's case) amputated. It also disabled the functionality of the other pieces, as Zach tries to fire his gun while it's cloaked, and it just clicks uselessly. | |

Jumping on a Grenade: Parodied; after Mindy is de-possessed of the parasitic Worg probe, it goes into self-destruct mode, and Hagan jumps on it with shield activated as everyone else flees. Nothing happens for a bit, leading Hagan to conclude that it won't blow up...just as it does so. | |

Mood Whiplash: Used for comedy during the final battle. At one point, Hagan and the Worg champion are dramatically deflecting a cannon shot back and forth between each other. The film then cuts to an overhead of the entire football field they are fighting on, and the visual effect of the shields bouncing the energy blast looks (and sounds) like Pong. | |

Ditzy Genius: 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 British Accent because Stupid Woody thinks that's what Smart Woody should sound like. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Lazer Team / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The title could very well be one to Rooster Teeth's own Geoff Lazer Ramsey. "He ain't a Sheriff, Woody." When combined, the space armor resembles Mjolnir Armor or the Drivesuits. The arm cannon looks like the Mega Buster. The holoshield looks like a Jackal's Shield. In a possible allusion to X-Ray & Vav, Woody (Gavin Free)'s helmet gives him, among other things, X-Ray Vision. One of the modes for Woody's helmet lists Slow Mo, which is traditionally spelled "Slo-mo". Mindy has a RWBY laptop. The opposing football team is Ruby Lake High School. In addition, the RWBY VAs play several of the Ruby Lake cheerleaders. A protester has a sign that spells "apocalypse" as "apockolips", similar to the dominion of Darkseid. When 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, Miles in Mjolnir Armor and an X-Ray. One news crawl describes a Dr. P. Venkman predicting a rise in "Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria" as a result of the alien spaceship. When Hagan suggests "The Shield", as a name for the titular group, he tries to justify it by saying that "SHIELD" could be an acronym. Both Herman and Vandenboom object to the military's Plan B should Lazer Team fail by pointing out that they tried that in Independence Day and it didn't work. The Pong reference in the final battle, covered in Mood Whiplash above. | |

This Is for Emphasis, Bitch!: Zack uses it throughout the film in enough instances to possibly equate to a season-one Jesse Pinkman. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Herman tries to ditch the team several times, and it's Played for Laughs. It's almost like an instinct for him when things get intense. | |

Voice of the Legion | |
| Lazer Team / int_dc1c7647 | comment |
Voice of the Legion: A sign of possession by Worg parasite. Most notable use of this trope is when the team uses a possessed Mindy as an outlet to negotiate about the alien attack. | |

Heroic Second Wind: As Hagan prepares to have his gauntlet cut off from his arm, the champion comes in and gives him words of encouragement, telling him that his experience and ability with the technology is far beyond his, boosting Hagan's courage. | |

Literal-Minded: Woody becomes this as a result of his increased intelligence through the information he can access through his helmet. One example is when Zack says "We're pieces of shit" and Woody notes that the human body is .5% feces. | |

Clingy Costume | |
| Lazer Team / int_e7bfbb3b | comment |
Clingy Costume: Once donned, the teams can’t remove the individual components they tried on. Not because of clingy space magic or anything. The pieces of the suit literally drill themselves into the guys' respective bodies. | |

Brain Bleach | |
| Lazer Team / int_e7fd5cdc | comment |
Brain Bleach: Woody suffers from a major case of squick when he discovers the X-Ray Vision 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. | |

Ambiguous Disorder | |
| Lazer Team / int_e8cfde67 | comment |
Ambiguous Disorder: Its never outright stated, but it's apparent that Woody has some kind of disorder, prior to his brain-boost; he's gullible, easily swayed, not too bright, and is rather slow to react to things. Hagan outright calls out the army for being so brutal with him due to the fact he's seemingly brain-damaged. | |

Groin Attack | |
| Lazer Team / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: At one point, Woody is sent wildly headspinning on the floor with his helmet flying directly into Zach's crotch. During the final battle, Woody detects that the Worg's genitalia is near its armpit, so he immediately headbutts that area, eliciting a groan of pain. | |

Combat by Champion | |
| Lazer Team / int_f0864fd9 | comment |
Combat by Champion: According to the Antarians, the only way for Earth to survive is for a single Champion to be trained and given a Suit of Power to battle the Worg Champion. It turns out it's just an interstellar tournament set up by the Antarians, pitting other races against one another, giving each a Suit of Power and having their champions battle it out. The loser's planet is destroyed. | |

Running Gag | |
| Lazer Team / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: In the first act, the escalating damage to Hagan's sheriff cruiser, culminating with it being the first victim of the arm cannon. Herman puking whenever he exerts himself. Zach's terrible aim; in his introduction shot, he accidentally hits Woody with a football, then just continues from there once he gets the laser gun. Herman referring to the team as "Boot Group". Herman defending some of his statements as figures of speech. | |
