Fan - Fans Fantastic Features

"Hello internet, and welcome to Fan's Fantastic Features!"

Fan is a male contestant in Inanimate Insanity II and Inanimate Insanity Invitational, and the host of Inanimate Insanity IV. He is also the host of Fans fantastic features.

Following his debut in Inanimate Insanity, he returned and was a contestant in Inanimate Insanity II until his elimination in "Mine Your Own Business", placing 7th overall.

He later competed in Inanimate Insanity Invitational until his elimination in "The Shame of the Name", after Cabby rallied the rest of The Pinkers, except Test Tube, together to blindside him. He left Indefinite Island early, not participating in either rejoin challenge coming in 18th place.

In Inanimate Insanity IV, Fan is very concerned with the state of the new society that had been formed. After a pitch to the Organization of Sensible Careers, Fan was declared the "Games Moderator" of the up and coming return of the game. He proceeds to moderate the games soon after meeting Poppy.

Fan is a red Chinese foldable paper fan. His body is shaped like an upside-down triangle with two yellow sticks at either side. The red paper makes several folds on his body, causing triangular bumps at the top. At the bottom, the red paper twists.

Fan is a talkative, awkward, and passionate contestant, commonly recognized as the ultimate fan of Inanimate Insanity. He has a strong interest in blogging, even having advertised his blog on the show. He’s typically ignorant and unaware of what happens around him, being mostly absorbed in his electronics, which he is almost always seen with. He’s observant of the patterns and occurrences throughout the show, with most of his remarks being about the game's structure. There are times when Fan isn't much of an active participant in challenges. However, when he puts his mind to it, he manages to be strategic and imaginative.[1]

In the first season of the series, Fan was a spectator of the show with nothing but brief appearances. When he becomes an actual competitor in the second season, he’s disconnected from participating in the show, starting off with continuing to be more of a bystander than a contestant. Fan even admits to not being used to competing when Cherries calls him out for it[2], his focus centered on analyzing the show and contestants instead.

Fan has a knack for theorizing and speculation. His strongest skill is being observant and creative, however, this is mostly narrowed down to only be focused on the show. He can predict some of the show's events due to his interest in jotting down information and analyzing it. He follows his own observations confidently, even if they may negatively impact other people.[3] However, Fan has learned to recognize the flaws in his theories and how they affect the people he cares about.[4]

Fan can be inconsiderate of others' feelings, such as inappropriately laughing in Paintbrush's face when they were frustrated, and not taking them seriously. [5] He also has an inappropriate reaction to Lightbulb's death where he cares more about how many times she's been shattered. Despite this, he is shown to be caring at times, like apologizing to Paintbrush[6] and The Baby Shimmer.[7]

Fan has a lot of trouble coping with change, having negative reactions to the sudden alterations in the patterns he observes in the show, such as breaking down over there being no elimination in "Mazed and Confused". He further expresses this difficulty when talking to Suitcase, stating that he was scared over there being "more" to the competition.[8] As of "Hatching the Plan", Fan has learned to have a better mindset toward facing change with the help of Test Tube.

Fan isn't the best when it comes to social interactions and says he has a hard time making friends when first talking to Test Tube.[9] He seems to be more attached and connected to non-living things, such as his electronics or his blog, and finds actual social connections more difficult. He had an easier time bonding with the egg, which he could easily project onto, and shows a lot of love and care for them throughout Season 2. Despite this, he's found relations through the show and learned to approach new people, such as starting conversations with Test Tube and Suitcase and forming a bond with them. Despite having issues when talking to others, he isn't much of a shy person and has no issues with speaking whenever he feels like it.

Fan is impulsive and quick to lose his composure when corrected.[10] He can also be rather stubborn, such as when he began to focus more to spite Knife's claims of him not paying attention[8]. Fan also has difficulties when it comes to talking about himself, but has an easier time expressing himself over text as shown in "Mine Your Own Business".

Despite being very attached to the show and having a very emotional reaction to being eliminated,[8] Fan has learned to better deal with being eliminated and has shown growth in how he views himself in relation to the game. This leads to him being much more accepting of his elimination in Invitational.

As shown in both "Fan's Fantastic Features" and "Inanimate Insanity IV", Fan is a natural at being a host. He speaks with charm and clarity, easily able to improvise and lead games with his creativity. This isn't his only case of smarts in speech; he is also verbose in his pitch to the Organization of Sensible Careers, showcasing his ability to stylishly present his ideas.

In "Cob Mentality", Fan is shown to be quick-thinking as he swiftly uses the Blue-Ray to save Test Tube from Jack's attack.

Test tube, the Assistant and co-host of Fans Fantastic Features;

Test Tube... golly... we wonder where her passions lie! SPOILER ALERT: Science! Test Tube is a knowledge-driven scientist that has a slew of kooky inventions at her disposal. Her initial weakness, her social ability, has improved as a result of building friendships with some of the other contestants. Although she is generally understanding and kind, she becomes easily frazzled by the “unexplainable.” Over time, Test Tube questions if everything in life really needs to be explained. But as for right now, Test Tube strives to do what’s right... in the name of science! Science rules!! k Test Tube is a female contestant on Inanimate Insanity II and Inanimate Insanity Invitational.

In Inanimate Insanity II, she was placed with The Bright Lights. Test Tube competed until the merge, where she was eliminated in "Hatching the Plan" in a 3-2 vote. She placed 5th overall.

She returned to compete in Inanimate Insanity Invitational on The Pinkers before the merge. After the merge and Cabby's return to the game, Test Tube struggled to gather enough numbers to vote out the aforementioned returnee, and was voted out by Cabby's new alliance, The New Old Thinkers, placing 11th.

In Inanimate Insanity IV, she returns as an assistant for Fan alongside Bot, serving as a "co-host" for the season.

Test Tube is a tall glass beaker in the shape of a thin cylinder with an opening at the top, surrounded by a wider glass ring. Inside Test Tube is neon green reactive liquid.

As a proud prospective and self-proclaimed scientist, Test Tube devotes her life to the education of science. Since her debut in "Breaking The Ice", Test Tube has displayed an incredible amount of knowledge and intelligence in all areas of science and can be assumed as the most intelligent and creative contestant on Inanimate Insanity II, only coming before Cabby in Invitational. She talks with a strong vocabulary and enjoys making scientific calculations at any moment she wishes.

Test Tube enjoys explaining scientific terms and facts, regardless of the other contestants willingness to hear them. Because of her constant clamor, other contestants may find her irritating or annoying. Consequently, Test Tube may become socially awkward around many contestants who don't share the same interests, even regarding her inept social ability as her "specialty". She can occasionally mutter to herself or make unnerved noises when in uncomfortable situations, and even confesses to her strange behavior after Fan does the same.

Along with her great intelligence, Test Tube is an impressive and masterful engineer. She was able to construct the rocket within seconds, and built another one with the help of the other contestants in "Hatching the Plan". She also designed her own secret laboratory full of many inventions and gadgets.[3] However, Test Tube is quite possessive and secretive of her creations and harbors them away from the public, hidden underneath a Dr. Fizz Machine.

When encountering others' lack of intelligence or sensibility, Test Tube can become incredibly frustrated. Throughout "Alternate Reality Show", Test Tube angrily deals with Lightbulb's mishaps in constant rage or aggravation as they become stuck in an alternate timeline. Test Tube will also put her dedication to goals ahead of her friendships, as seen in "Mine Your Own Business", she does not trust Fan with the egg and refuses to give it back to him.

Occasionally, Test Tube can also be very witless or somewhat silly. In "Theft and Battery", she foolishly tosses handfuls of rice on MePhone4 after he shuts down, not only doing the technique wrong but for the wrong reason as well.

Test Tube has also proven to have an extreme form of atychiphobia, or the fear of being wrong.If Test Tube makes a miscalculation or is proven wrong, the result can cause her to undergo a massive amount of stress, enough to literally make her shatter.

Fans Fantastic Features; Fan's Fantastic Features is a spin-off variety show featuring Fan as the host and Test Tube as the cinematographer. The first episode, "The Issues with Tissues", premiered on September 26, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. PDT/12:00 p.m. EDT.

"The Issues with Tissues" is the first episode of Fan's Fantastic Features and was released on September 26, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. PDT. In this episode, Fan interviewed Tissues. Tissues is interviewed by Fan. The episode starts out on Fan welcoming the audience to his first ever episode of Fan's Fantastic Features. He created the show to get over his fear of talking to other people with Test Tube being more than happy to be the cinematographer. Fan then welcomes Tissues and thanks him for being his first guest. Fan then brings up how he and Tissues never talked with each other before, prompting Tissues to apologize and do different voices for fun while failing miserably. Fan then tells Tissues that he was the first contestant eliminated and that viewers may see him as a joke because of that. Tissues takes offense and remarks that you save the best for last and that since he came in last, that makes him the best. Fan complements him for the opinion, offending Tissues more, with him saying that it is the truth. Fan then asks Tissues about his condiShAWn and if he is comfortable talking about it. Tissues is not and Fan passive-aggressively remarks that the question cards were 95 percent questions about the condiShAWn. Tissues, frustrated, tells Fan that he broke him and will talk. He then goes on to explain the symptoms if the condiShAWn: saying he gets muscle spasms, triple migraines, violent nausea, uncontrollable heat waves, a single hurting tooth, vertigo, vertistop, vanishing fingerprints, and temporary blindness. Fan, seeing Tissues upset, moves on to something more positive, such as asking what his favorite color is. Tissues reveals he doesn't have a favorite. As long as it is not the color green as he hates the color. Upon realizing he indirectly insulted Test Tube, Tissues apologizes to her, only for her to sarcastically laugh and thank him. This angers Tissues, and mocks her for her fake laugh, saying that his fake laugh is better, and saying he hates fakers. Fan takes this opinion to heart, and agrees that the show shouldn't be pre-planned and fake. He, then, angrily throws away his question cards and mentions that his show should be about him and his friend sitting across from each other and talking. Tissues is taken aback and touched, asking Fan if he really thinks that they are friends. Fan confirms it. Saying that they are friends because they were on a show and and same team together even if was for a few minutes. Fan then explains that means something special to him and that is a bond for life. Tissues then falls asleep, tired from his condishAWn. Fan, seeing this, finds it adorable and asks Test Tube to lower the lights down and announces that the interview is over for now and that he will see the viewers next time on his show. Fan then whispers to Test Tube to get Tissues a blanket. Test Tube then yells that she is on it, causing Tissues to wake up, startled by the yell, ending the episode. The voice-over after the episode has Fan reading of the special credits and Tissues commenting that the audience doesn't have to watch any more episodes because his episode is the best one and comments on his fake laugh being the best as well. Fan calls Tissues out on this, saying that was a selfish comment and tells the viewers to please continue watching the show.

"The Participation Trophy" is the second episode of Fan's Fantastic Features. It was released on October 24, 2020 at 12:00 p.m. PDT and features four guests participating in the game show: Trophy, Box, Toilet Paper and Clip. Fan brings a competitive new segment to his Inanimate Insanity spinoff vlog, featuring everyone's favorite blackmailer Trophy! In this award-winning game show, two teams duke it out in a series of challenges. But will the award win? Watch to find out! Fan introduces the viewers, big and small, to the "game show edition" of his show. He then requests Test Tube to sing the "theme song", in which she mumbles a little tune, much to his delight. Fan wishes that there were more people to watch his show, but thanks to Test Tube's device, she spawns twelve, alternate reality audience members, who applaud for them. Fan then asks if she already erased them from existence, but she claims that she didn't, due to the "multiverse theory" creating a nearly identical one. She explains that the only difference is that it smells 6% more like cinnamon. Suddenly, a contestant from a certain season pops up and tells them that even though they don't smell like cinnamon, he would get over it. Just then, an impatient Trophy shouts at the "cinna-morons" to hurry up, cause his biceps have evaporated. Fan introduces the guest and compliments them for being, "fierce, strong, and eliminated far too early", which makes Trophy assume it's for him, but it's actually for... Box. He welcomes her to the show and is happy to have her 'radiant presence'. Trophy tries to tell everyone "He's just a box", but Fan replies that he's a trophy, and that it's a visual medium. A frazzled Trophy claims that they're all 'blind' and that he is unable to compete, shocking the audience, and Fan himself. Two members appear next to the desk and ask if they can play in the challenge. Fan then asks what they can do, in which they both perform a "very exciting, complicated, & super fast" handshake, and convinces him to let the duo join. Later on, Fan tells Trophy that him and Box will also be on a team together, which annoys Trophy a bit. Fan simply tells him that Box will have to "carry the team". Beaming with confidence, Clip claims that the rival team won't stop them, and TP states that, "they could use a hand... shake!". They perform their handshake a second time and Trophy punches Box to the floor. Fan explains the contest, in which they'll have to answer some questions, and earn the most points. Fan starts the game, spins the wheel, and it lands on "Contestants' Private Life". (Don't ask him how he knows that). The first question is, "Who does Box idolize the most?", and Trophy answers with, "Nobody", noting that she's still just a box. Clip and TP steal the point by answering, "Box", and that she perfects Trophy's exercise equipment, confusing him. Trophy murmers that he hates this challenge but says that he and Box are gonna win. The next few 'questions' are stated/answered...

A: The Dead Recap (CLIP & TP) A: Pickle Saxophone (TROPHY & BOX) A: MePhone5S & 5C (CLIP & TP) A: Cheesy's Canceled Tour (TROPHY & BOX) A: Any Color EXCEPT Green (CLIP & TP) A: The Prime "Shamer" (TROPHY & BOX) A: Cliff Jumping (CLIP & TP) A: Fire Everywhere (CLIP & TP) A: Involuntary Silence (TROPHY & BOX) After their last question, he realizes how Box feels for not speaking, which gives their team "bonus points". Finally, the physical part of the challenge, (consisting of a kiddie pool and a tight rope), and Fan chooses Clip and Box to compete. Trophy states that it isn't fair, since Box can't swim, but tells him to intimidate the other team, and eventually "crosses" the tight rope. With 2,000 points earned, team Cinnamon-Finity win "Inanimate Insanity". Trophy realizes that Box won the challenge and asks if it's worth anything, but Fan claims it's only earned them HALF a point, considering the fact they had a kiddie pool. Clip and TP do one finally handshake, making Trophy self-aware about the "sounds", and tells Box that "it will do...". TP says that she's just a box, which surprises Trophy, (stating that everyone else thinks that she's 'real), and begs to go with her. Fan tells the viewers to stay tuned, but Trophy says that "he won't", and lets Box stay to "read" the Patreon list instead.

"Nickel For Your Thoughts" is the third episode of Fan's Fantastic Features. It was released on November 14, 2020, premiering at 10:00 a.m. PDT. In this episode, Fan interviewed Nickel. The episode featured Dime as a guest, and a cameo from Coiny from Battle for Dream Island. The episode starts out on Fan welcoming the audience and tells them that this episode is gonna be "mind-blowing". He then brings up a button to represent the feeling, presses it, and causes an explosion from outside the hotel, shocking the audience. Test Tube tells him that it was only to be used for emergencies, but Fan states that it WAS an emergency. He then tells the audience members to get excited for his next guest. Suddenly, Nickel sarcastically asks who the guest could be, and Fan says that he didn't want a special introduction, which he sternly agrees. Shortly afterwards, Fan tries recreate the famous line between him and Baseball, and Nickel says he forgot to read the "script", underestimating Fan. Nickel claims that he raided the printer, since most of the sheets were blank, and another coin brings some more for our host, (and they're recycled, too). A confused Nickel states that he's never seen Dime before, and Fan explains that he's from another dimension, causing more confusion around the two. Fan thinks that he's feeling some tension and tries asking why he's always sarcastic. Dime then reassures Nickel by stating that he's not worthless, which makes him think that it was a kind way of saying he's worth more than him, but means that it's simply the truth. Feeling frustrated, Nickel decides that he wants to share his feelings, letting Test Tube walk up to him, only to be jump-scared by him. After fixing the camera, Fan acknowledges that Nickel is great at telling scary stories, which makes him think that he should tell one. Fan says he was just kidding, but the lights start to fade, concerning him. Nickel then tells the "story" of how Fan decided to become more social, shocking the audience, and disappointing Fan. Once the lights have turned back on, Fan ask Nickel if he wore a costume for Halloween, and he says that he let Knife draw a face on his back to "listen" to Suitcase. Dime says he just likes to be himself, (as in being a philanthropist), which offends Nickel, who claims that it's HIS thing. When Dime asks what he has done, Nickel says he stopped Knife from flushing down bottles. Dime asks if it's a common problem in his universe, which Nickel says it's not anymore, so he compliments him by saying that everyone should be green. Nickel tries to one-up by saying that it's his favorite color (Not for Tissues). Fan thinks that he has a patent for being environmentally-friendly, but Nickel claims that nobody should do it other than him, which shocks the crowd, and he claims it came out wrong. He then ponders to Fan about dealing with another coin, who's not just different than him, but worth MORE, and doesn't wish it upon anyone. Suddenly, an familiar, orange coin walks by to say hi to Nickel, and he says hi back. Fan then tells Nickel that he's glad to have him on I.I., but then the lights start to dim again, revealing that Dime was saving energy throughout the hotel. Fan says it's so convenient, which makes Nickel un-amused, and repeats it, but more sarcastically. He then uses his sarcasm in some unusual ways, which makes Nickel want Fan to stop, and the episode ends.

"The Paper Cut" is the fourth (and most recent) episode of Fan's Fantastic Features and was released on January 30th, 2021. The episode also featured Cork. In this episode, Fan was meant to interview Paper, but Pepper and Salt interfered. In another timeline, they took over Inanimate Insanity, and now, Salt and Pepper- sorry, the S+P department- is here with some mandatory suggestions for Fan's show! Will Fan give in to their demands? The fate of Fan's Fantastic Features hangs in the balance! Fan begins the episode by welcoming the audience and saying that today he's going to interview another F.F.F. (Fellow Fiber Friend) announced to be Paper, but as soon as the show starts, Salt and Pepper walk in and tell Paper to get off the set. Fan asks them what they thought they were doing, and they replied that they were the S&P department (Standards and Practices). Fan then continues to explain to the audience what an S&P department is, then realizes that it only applies to television shows, and tells Salt and Pepper to get off the set. Test Tube then worriedly tells Fan that Salt and Pepper are trying to take control of the show, just like they did in an alternate timeline. Fan then realizes that it might be what Salt and Pepper are trying to do. They then continue to tell Fan that he needs to change the name of his show because it's so long. Fan then asks if they have any ideas, but they just say they don't want to force their own ideas in. He then remarks how she presents problems without solutions. Salt then asks Fan if he really wants them to write a note about him. Pepper remarks that there is a camera-lady & a tripod on the set, so she thinks that they should get rid of one of the other, offending Test Tube. Suddenly, the two ladies realize that the tripod's legs remind them of a crab, disgusting the two, and causing Salt to kick it. After it stops spinning, Salt points at Cork, and lets her come onto the stage. Even though Fan didn't plan to talk to Cork, Salt and Pepper say they're only making their vision a reality, but he thinks they're making his "nightmares" a reality. Cork suddenly pops into the conversation and tells him that he can't tell S&P what's to do for his show. Salt agrees, realizing her "alternate" version of her is so different, and Pepper asks if they have the same phone numbers. Fan eventually asks for another note, which Salt asks to get rid of Fan's "lucky mug", angering him and forcing Salt to leave. Pepper thinks she should change everything, claps her hands, and turns the whole room purple, (except the mug). Salt comes back 15 seconds later, snaps her fingers, and turns the room pink, scaring Fan. The girls make one final note, stating that Fan should change the logo's font, and eventually he signs a contract to do so. Suddenly, Pepper punches him off his chair, and explains that the contract was actually a way to "sell" the show to the duo, Fan sadly says his final words to his audience, leaves the room, and slightly concerns Salt. The screen goes to black, cuts to the fake "credits" made by S&P, (plus Cork), but switches to Fan and Paper in a different room. But then, Salt comes back to Fan and tells him that they don't want to take over the show, and hugs Pepper, causing Paper to storm out of the room. Fan waves the viewers goodbye, drinks from the mug, and spits out his expired coffee.

During the ending, Fan tells Paper that he'll try to do an interview with him soon, (because OJ kicked them out of the room), and lists the Patreon names. Meanwhile, Salt calls "alternate" Pepper on her phone, but Test Tube claims that it's just the real Pepper.

Trophy, the 'jerk';

Trophy, labeled "The Jock", is a male contestant on Inanimate Insanity II and Inanimate Insanity IV. In Inanimate Insanity II, he was put on The Grand Slams, and was eliminated in "Cooking for the Grater Good". He is currently competing in Inanimate Insanity IV as a member of Go Big or Be Last. Trophy has a body of gold and a rather hourglass figure, with a large defined head, thin waist, and wide bottom. His face is located on his head, his arms are on either side of his waist, and his legs at his bottom. His head is hollow with a circular hole at the top of his head. On either side of his head are two handles that extend from his top to his middle. He has three darker stripes, one above and below his middle, and one at his bottom. Trophy is notorious for being a brutal jock. Arrogant and aggressive, Trophy is highly competitive and athletic, with a progressive aim to win challenges and beat others. His behavior can become mischievous and crude in order to gain victory, such as blackmailing others to do things for him.

Trophy commonly acts cruelly to others to his own entertainment, especially weaker competitors. This behavior is first seen in "Breaking The Ice", where Trophy promptly kicks Tissues off the iceberg after asking to make an alliance. On the contrary, Trophy respects stronger competitors, such as Knife, and even attempts to befriend him, only to later blackmail him into catering to his needs or he would reveal Knife's surprising appreciation for Dora Dolls.

Trophy is genuinely a closed-minded and incompetent individual who treats other competitors harshly, notably those who are smarter than him, as seen in "Marsh on Mars", when he scorns Baseball and calls him a nerd for explaining the perspective of the rocket, and calls Fan "pathetic" for taking care of the egg he mistook for Marshmallow.

Additionally, Trophy finds joy in putting others to shame and making a mockery out of them, but doesn't enjoy if he is put to shame instead and being made a fool, as in "Cooking for the Grater Good", Trophy becomes frustrated when Knife isn't shamed in front of others for revealing his enjoyment in his Dora Doll, and instead, he was proven wrong with Baseball and Apple saying that they don't care, making the rest of the contestants not care either.

However, there is a soft side to Trophy. In the Inanimate Insanity shorts, he is way less of a bully than what he used to be. He also became way less arrogant. He also reveals that he has an interest in photography, which was later explored in "Cob Mentality" with his distrust of Cammy purely based on their object, implying that he's found a new rival when it comes to photography. This side to Trophy is best demonstrated in "Waffling About" where Trophy doesn't try harming Nickel's sarcastic side. He even surrenders and admits that he lacks much intelligence.

By the fourth season of the series, he has gotten softer and less intimidating, even though he still sometimes struggles to cope with his aggressive ways; in "Cob Mentality", for example, he punches the ground with a strong amount of brute force both to reveal his word, and (as he admits to Box) to try helping himself recover from a "breakdown". In "All Play and No Work", he is also shown to be more easily spooked than he lets on, trying to assure his team that he's alright in spite of how visibly shaken he is from Knife's taunting. At one point, after a particularly bad scare, he curls up on himself and begins shaking as he repeatedly apologizes for his actions.

Tissues, a part of the audience;

Tissues is a male contestant in Inanimate Insanity II. He was placed on Team Bright Lights. He is voiced by Braden Whiteside.

He was the first contestant eliminated in "Marsh on Mars", placing 20th overall in the season.

He is a turquoise box of tissues sprouting from a slit at the top. The most obvious thing about Tissues is that he is very sickly. Since his creation, he has had a disease exclusive to him known as the "condiShAWn". This condiShAWn allegedly has a lot of symptoms, which Tissues lists in The Issues with Tissues. These include "muscle spasms, triple migraines, violent nausea, uncontrollable heat waves, toothaches, vertigo, vertistop, vanishing fingerprints, temporary blindness." Only some of these exist in real-life; it's not clear if these are actually all real symptoms. He also apparently sneezes in his sleep, according to Trophy.

Regardless, it is obvious that his condiShAWn makes him prone to sneezing. His sneezes are sometimes powerful enough to launch him into the air, and are uncontrollable; he tends to sneeze on other characters a lot. Although he's apologetic about this, plenty of characters are quick to call him disgusting. These sneezes are so big because a lot of his energy is concentrated in them, which explains why he was so lethargic and easily tired. This is shown when Tissues says he's exhausted before the dodgeball competition in Breaking the Ice.

Although his condiShAWn affects many aspects of his life, it is not all there is to him. Tissues still tried to be outgoing, like when he asks to form an alliance with Trophy. Tissues sometimes fails to understand jokes and slang, as he acknowledges how strange Trophy's middle name, "Horseplay", was despite it merely being an idiom.

In The Issues with Tissues, he is also shown to be somewhat difficult, as he goes out of his way to give Fan a hard time with his show (like when he refuses to talk about his condiShAWn). Despite this, he seems to enjoy talking about his condiShAWn. Tissues is also shown to be timid but have a slightly inflated sense of his own importance, like when he says that the audience doesn't need to watch any more Fan's Fantastic Features because his episode is the best.

Toilet; Toilet, labeled The Buffoon, is a major character in the Inanimate Insanity series serving as a major character in Inanimate Insanity II and was the former assistant to MePhone4 before being fired after being convicted for having a connection with Steve Cobs in "Mine Your Own Business".

Afterwards, Toilet was tricked into working with Steve Cobs in "Hatching the Plan" (using A.D.A.M.), convincing him to "practice" his assistance skills while controlling MePhoneX in a training simulator. In "Through No Choice of Your Own", he assists the finalists and works with Bow and Apple to disable Me, thwarting all of Cobs' plans and saved The Prime Shimmer and Light Shimmers.

Toilet currently lives with the contestants in Inanimate Insanity IV. Toilet is a white toilet with a long curved base. He has a large bowl full of water that functions as his saliva on his front with a lid that functions as his mouth. Above the bowl is a large square tank with eyes and a light grey cover. Toilet is loud, impolite, annoying, and obnoxious. He was the dimwitted assistant to MePhone4. Although MePhone4 has shown his displeasure of Toilet's assistance, Toilet appears to be quite absentminded and oblivious to the fact and continues with his job with a happy and enthusiastic attitude.

With intense admiration and fondness for MePhone4, Toilet goes to great lengths in order to please MePhone4, such as traveling incredibly far for months to gather wires for him, making him extremely manipulatable. In "A Kick in the Right Direction", Toilet remarks that he will do anything for him, even impossible tasks like reviving Bow. In "Let 'Er R.I.P., Toilet protects MePhone4 from Yin-Yang's attack, stating he would never let anything hurt him, though in "Tri Your Best", he inadvertently hurts MePhone4 himself by spraying water on him, showing he is rather oblivious to his own harm.

Toilet is very defensive of his title as MePhone4's assistant, despite doing a terrible job. He constantly becomes aggressive with MePhone4's second assistant, MePad, such as insulting MePad in various ways, though MePad doesn't seem to mind or care. In "Theft and Battery", Toilet reveals that he wants to be a good assistant and dislikes MePad for always getting MePhone4's attention. The two make amends after MePad shows that he feels no animosity for Toilet and considers them equal. In the end of "Mine Your Own Business", MePhone4 fired him as he heard Toilet saying "I guess we didn't need Master Adam's help after all!"

At the end of "Hatching the Plan", he makes a minor appearance by a beach, walking towards MePhone4's Sailboat, and MePhoneX came out of it, with Toilet mistaking them for MePhone4. MePhoneX then sounded an alarm and walked towards him. As hinted at in "The Reality of the Situation", it was implied that Toilet was deleted by MePhoneX; however, it was revealed that he was placed in a training simulator by A.D.A.M., B.R.I.A.N., and J.U.S.T.I.N. to hone his assistant skills by controlling a MePhoneX, not knowing that he was killing the contestants by reducing them to lifeless inanimate objects.

Toilet helps thwart Steve Cobs in "Through No Choice of Your Own" by unplugging Me with the help of Knife and Suitcase stalling Cobs, as well as Bow possessing Apple. Referencing out loud his interest for wires and declaring his status as the perfect assistant, he unplugs Me and destroys everything that MeLife has generated, including the spaceship in which where they stand and every single contestant, structure, and piece of terrain - including Knife and Suitcase - that MePhone4 generated. The last we see of him is him falling to the ground, and it is unknown whether he was deleted alongside everyone or not. The only survivors of the onslaught are Steve Cobs, MePhone4, and Baxter.

Toilet survived the fall in "Objects in Mirror" but is hurt and was resting during the fight of MePad, Ghost Bow and Dough vs Steve Cobs, after Cob's exploding demise, Toilet was shown badly hurt heading to MePhone4 saying he wanted to help more but didn't know how, MePhone4 apologized to him saying he never deserved him as an assistant, and after hearing about MePad's sacrifice/death from Steve Cobs, he said that MePad always believed in him.

Toilet then returns in "The Future Is Today!" playing as Steve Cobs in a play about Mephone4, then was at MePad Mansion objecting to the revival of Inanimate Insanity.

Nickel;

Nickel is a male contestant on Inanimate Insanity who was placed on Team Epic, but was eliminated the first time in "War De Guacamole" due to a mishap where it was the viewers who voted by spelling his name wrong and bringing along the character Nick Le in order to teach them how to spell correctly.

He returned in Inanimate Insanity II, was a member of The Grand Slams, where he ended up in a double elimination alongside Balloon in "Kick the Bucket", being that he and Balloon were to be the second to last characters who tried to reach the merge before Marshmallow's disqualification.

He returns for the second time in Inanimate Insanity Invitational and was a member of The Sinkers until moving to The New Thinkers. He competed for himself in the merge until his elimination in "The Show Must Go On", caused by Balloon orchestrating his elimination in order to best increase his own chances at winning.

He appears again as a supporting character in "Inanimate Insanity IV". He is a nickel without Thomas Jefferson or 5¢ on him. Renown for his exceptional taste in sarcasm, Nickel is a critical character who is also snarky, churlish and ill-tempered. He also is known for having a love for anime. Nickel's most identifying trope is his trademark sarcasm, which he uses to convert mean thoughts in his head in order not to come off as rude and disrespectful to others. Though this strategy may not always work, Nickel still considers sarcasm as an art, and himself an artist.

As an armless character, Nickel is unable to accomplish feats as easily as others but is usually determined to try his hardest. At the same time, Nickel expresses a large disinterest in competing in many of MePhone4's challenges and is commonly seen with a grumpy expression when competing.

Although Baseball is the leader of The Grand Slams, Nickel occasionally takes over the initiative and gives out orders to others. However, Nickel's sarcasm and wit make him appear shrewd. As a result, he does not typically work well with others, and may instead make rude and opprobrious comments or insults about them, causing drifts in his relationships.

Nickel is close with his armless alliance, consisting of Baseball and Suitcase, and can be seen working together as a trio in most challenges. Nickel is considerably untrusting, however, as he repeatedly attempts to disassociate his alliance with competitors like Cheesy, and most notably, Balloon, who continues to try to redeem himself. However, Nickel's abrasive and argumentative attitude against Balloon contrasts deeply with Suitcase's open-heart.

Although he appears to be extremely ruthless and doesn't value friendship, Nickel cares about his alliance, as highlighted by Baseball, but has a difficult way of showing it. In "Kick the Bucket", Nickel claims that Balloon was tearing the alliance apart, and wanted to conserve their bond. Much to Nickel's surprise, Suitcase notes that the two rarely even talk to one another, leading to many inner conflicts in the alliance. Despite being quite intolerant, unforgiving, and antipathetic to an extent, Nickel forms a great bond with Baseball, whom he is loyal to.

Upon entering 'Inanimate Insanity Invitational' and being placed on The Sinkers, Nickel once again creates an alliance, this time with Box and, regrettably, Balloon, with whom he still continues to distrust. On the other hand, Nickel begins "listening" to Box and putting his full faith in him and though Nickel does begin to develop a slight friendship with Balloon, they continue to have issues.

Nickel is also shown to enjoy mentoring others about sarcasm. As seen in "A Kick in the Right Direction", Nickel attempts to teach Knife how to use sarcasm, which Knife now uses occasionally as well.

Taco;

Taco is a female contestant on Inanimate Insanity and Inanimate Insanity IV, and is a major antagonist in the Inanimate Insanity series, serving as one of the main antagonists of Inanimate Insanity and the secondary antagonist in Inanimate Insanity II.

Taco's nonsensical behavior and tendencies made her well-liked by the viewers. This, plus her winning multiple immunities on Team Chickenleg and in the merge helped her make it to the finals. When she lost in the final challenge to OJ, she revealed her more sinister and manipulative side, fleeing after attempting to steal the cash prize.

Though not as a competitor, Taco returned as the secondary antagonist of Inanimate Insanity II. She committed a few schemes in hiding, most notably working with Microphone to split the cash prize until pushing her too far. Towards the end of II2, she realized her villainous ways and intense investment in the game had cost her all her friendships, and began to seek redemption and attempted to repair the relationships she'd lost, with mixed results.

She returns to competing in Inanimate Insanity IV as a member of Thematic Cats, while also continuing her journey of becoming more ethical. Taco is a hard-shelled taco filled with tomatoes, lettuce and refried beans. She also has a pair of arms in her shell that she can hide at any time.

From "Mine Your Own Business" to "Truth or Flare", her shell was dented after she was hit by a gemory. Her shell was fixed after dying and being recovered by MePhone4. At the start of the series, Taco was known for her strange and dim-witted personality, most notably for shouting random words like "sour cream" and "sprinkles", as well as spitting lemons. Unfortunately, she lost this ability causing her to lament over it for a short period of time. Taco usually appeared completely oblivious to all conflicts and remained motionless with a sideways smile on her face. Overall, Taco is a peculiar character, as she has a self-proclaimed IQ of 7, listed as having mental problems for unknown reasons by Dictionary, and has been said to speak only French and know a few bits of proper dialect, though this was eventually proven a façade later on in the show.

Despite her bizarre character, Taco illustrates that she is a fierce and antagonistic competitor throughout many episodes, such as in "A Lemony Lesson", where she instantly wins for her team by spitting up dozens of lemons, and in "Inanimate Smackdown", where she dominates the wrestling challenge. Taco reveals over time many abilities that were previously unknown, such as in "Aquatic Conflict", she casually declares that she has arms, unbeknownst to her friends, such as Pickle. She also would occasionally shift into moments of impressive intelligence, such as in "Crappy Anniversary", where she analyzes her percentage of landing in the water, but immediately changes back to her old form after landing in the feces.

This slow shift in Taco's character eventually leads to the grand reveal in "Journey Through Memory Lane (Part 2)", where Taco loses the competition and unravels her true identity in a fit of anger when OJ wins. Taco reveals that she merely played a role and created her stupid persona as part of a plan to gain love from the viewers and not be seen as a threat, resulting in what should have been her win (as she proclaims).

Taco's true identity is vastly different from her outrageous and moronic persona. She is rather intelligent, deceitful, tactful, sensitive and mischievous, with a hankering for evil. Although her plan to steal the million-dollar prize in Inanimate Insanity was thwarted, she continued to pursue the same prize once again in Inanimate Insanity II until "Truth or Flare", since she stopped caring about getting the prize.

Initially hiding in the bushes for the first half of the season, Taco remains as a spectator to the competition in order to find an accomplice. Taco eventually narrows her choice on Microphone, a competitor who struggles to succeed in challenges and feels overlooked despite her efforts. After Taco begins tormenting Microphone in "Rain On Your Charade" by reading through her personal diary, she opens up to Microphone to convince her to join sides with her in order to split the million-dollar prize 50/50 in exchange for help and advice throughout the rest of the competition. Microphone refused but eventually agrees and they form a sort of alliance.

From here, Taco further exhibits her true personality. She has little regard for genuine morals in order to advance in the competition, such as in "Kick the Bucket" where she instructs Microphone to paralyze Balloon with the intent to hinder his ability in the challenge and mentions how she enjoys messing with others. She also displays having a high value in her strategies and efforts, arguing with Microphone whilst she hesitates to use the paralyzer to attack someone. However, she admits Microphone some respect when she was able to manipulate Balloon into giving in to anxiety, making him fail within the rules of the game. She views Balloon and Suitcase's conflicts as petty and "adorable."

Taco gradually grows more respect for Microphone, begrudgingly letting her return the temporary paralyzer to Test Tube in "Alternate Reality Show" despite seeing no benefit in it. Still, she has a low opinion of the other competitors, such as her showing little concern for Test Tube and Lightbulb getting lost through time, or her description of Knife as a "simple bully." Yet, when she saw the time portal, she's shown that she secretly wants a second chance at friendship.

Taco shows particular resentment towards Knife in Mine Your Own Business, viewing his past and present 'savagery' as brutish and inexcusable despite her own actions. Though she initially plots to get Knife killed, Microphone stops her, and she offers to apologize, stating she could stand to be a bit more open. Despite her becoming more casual and less belittling around Microphone, she is still secretive and stealthy, as seen not only by her and Microphone's use of the InvisiBows throughout the episode to operate unseen, but also by her avoidance in telling Microphone about her past.

In "Truth or Flare", it confirmed that Taco had a plan with MePad, hinted at in the previous episode. In this same episode, she is shown to have a sensitive side, as tears welled up in her eyes when she realizes that it's time for her to face her own truth, which causes her to literally fall apart, killing her. At the end of the episode, following MePad's advice, Taco decides that she's done hiding away from society, and prepares to start over.

In "The Reality of the Situation", Taco is shown to still be nervous and hiding for a bit, but finally does get the courage to talk to Pickle again. Here, Taco confesses that she didn't intend to have Pickle on her plan, but ran along with it, revealing that she truly did value her friendship with Pickle. She is shown to be heavily offended at being called stupid, though this quickly shifts to a tearful mourning when Pickle gets deleted by MePhoneX.

In "Through No Choice of Your Own", Taco is seen staring at Pickle's dead body before Microphone enters the room and causes her to shift her focus to Microphone instead. Microphone then starts a conversation with Taco saying that she heard about what Taco had done in "Truth or Flare". The two of them continue to talk with each other for a while. Soon, Taco faces the other contestants with an awkward smile on her face. By this time Taco had given up on being bad and had been accepted back into society.

In "Objects In Mirror", As the contestants were about to begin the race to escape MePhone4 and return to the outside, Taco is seen glancing uncomfortably at Pickle as he is chatting with Bomb and Cheesy. During the race, Taco notices Microphone's upset expression and holds her hand and smiles at her. The two held hands the entire race after that. Later, after Toilet and MePhone4's conversation, Taco asks where MePad is and tears up upon realizing that MePad has died. After MePhone4 leaves the contestants and Pickle says that he "kinda forgave him", Taco is irritated and says "Him and not me?" But is told to "Let it go" by Microphone. Microphone then proposes to work together with Taco again but not in secret this time as to which Taco responds saying she'd like that. She is then threatened by Soap to be scrubbed out of Microphone's life if she hurts her again. During the MePad Dedication Ceremony, Taco sings about remembering those whom they have lost in MePad's tone during Taco's Tirade and tears up once more but is comforted by Microphone holding her hand and is seen walking away from the spotlight with her.

In "The Future Is Today!", Taco is working as a hostess showing that she has most likely been forgiven by most contestants and is now more comfortable with interacting with them. She seems to be trying to be "hospitable" as she asked Soap if she was doing it right after giving Magnet and Pencil the "best table" with the overhead light rather than the newbies who were supposed to be given priority.

In "Cob Mentality", Taco seems to be trying to improve herself as she states that "Honesty is more important than winning" showing that she still feels guilty for her past actions. It is also revealed that the word she chose to describe herself was "Clean" referring to her desire to play the game without cheating. Despite seemingly healing (mentally), when Lightbulb says that she thought Taco chose the word broken due to what happened in "Truth or Flare", Taco responds saying that she is "Trying to be less broken" most likely referring to her mental state rather than physical.

In "Run the Risk", Taco displays impatience when waiting for Microphone and Soap to find their way through the maze. After that, when Microphone tells Taco that she and Soap were trying the method Taco used in "Mazed and Confused", Taco says that although Soap means well, it would be difficult for her to replicate the friendship between Taco and Microphone. She then proceeds to jump into the giant bucket of water before Microphone tells her to do anything or even informs her of the challenge. She is visibly annoyed upon being soaked. When she is assisting Cherries in the next part of the challenge by holding onto the rope, she tells Cherries to step on "a rocky formation" on the rock climbing wall as to which Cherries says that the whole wall is a rocky formation. Taco gets annoyed and sarcastically tells Cherries to put their leg at the very top of the climbing wall but is dumbfounded when they actually do so.

In "All Play and No Work", Taco ends up finding Test Tube's lab and comes across MePad's corpse, which Test Tube might be rebuilding, causing her to tear up and experience PTSD.

Paper;

Paper is a male contestant on Inanimate Insanity and Inanimate Insanity IV.

Paper's lack of work ethic on Team Epic caused him to be the first contestant eliminated in "A Lemony Lesson" after losing a tiebreaker challenge against Knife after a 3-3-1 vote. During his time on Idiotic Island, his mental state deteriorated, even into his return to the game in "Double Digit Desert." His mental state improved over time with the help of OJ, but he was voted out in "The Penultimate Poll" by the eliminated contestants for being a follower, eliminating him a second time one episode before the finale.

Though not chosen to compete in Inanimate Insanity II, he appeared as a supporting character in a few episodes.

He is currently competing in Inanimate Insanity IV as a member of Heavy Metal Pop Stars. He is a sheet of notebook paper with rounded edges, along with a sharp edge on his bottom left. Much like a regular piece of lined paper, he has seven light blue horizontal lines across his body and one light red vertical line near his left side. Also along his left side are three holes. At the beginning of the series, Paper was a friendly, innocent contestant. This is most clearly seen when he hangs out with Knife and watches Desperate Housewives instead of doing the challenge in "A Lemony Lesson". However, his trusting nature made him an easy target for Knife's bullying, so he was eliminated first as Knife aggressively shoved him off the metal platform and threw things at him until he fell into the water.

It was clear that his long stay on Idiotic Island affected his mental health greatly. In addition to exacerbating his anger issues, he also split an alter. This alter, Evil Paper, tended to be violent and murderous, such as when he threw OJ out of his boat in "Aquatic Conflict". Paper expressed remorse for many of Evil Paper's actions, confused by why they were happening and believing they were his fault. Later, with OJ's help, Paper figured out that he was triggered by the words "Idiotic Island" and strove to fix his mental health problem. Paper is somewhat self-centered and attention-seeking. A notable instance of this was in "The Tile Divide", when he was ranting about possibly getting eliminated while drinking orange juice, not noticing OJ's sickness from the lack of it. This was out of obliviousness though, not malice, and he apologized and pledged his allegiance to OJ later on. He also let him win the immunity to drive in that he was genuine about his apology. Another example of his attention-seeking tendencies is in "Double Digit Desert", where he dramatically told OJ to go on without him when he got stuck to a cactus, then got upset when OJ didn't save him.

Although he is not much of a leader, Paper seems to be both responsible and good at expressing himself. He is responsible enough to stand in for OJ at the complaints desk in the first issue of Inanimate Comics, and is well-spoken enough to represent OJ as his attorney in "Everything's A-OJ". Paper also takes charge of Hotel OJ while OJ is away for Inanimate Insanity Invitational, though he is eventually overthrown by Salt and Pepper.

Paper has been shown to be quite physically strong, being able to hang onto a wet metal pole in "A Lemony Lesson", tanking a bowling ball, an apple, Taco, and a full dolphin in a row, and having the capability to beat up and tear Pickle in half with ease (Evil Paper was the one who did this, but the strength is still possible for Paper, as it's from their shared body).

As of now, Paper seems to have grown into a much more confident individual, being able to stand up for himself and not get pushed around. He still keeps his enthusiastic, friendly personality, but he is more outspoken and not as afraid to speak what is on his mind. He tends to be anxious or even disrespectful around individuals he does not trust, such as with Poppy or MeTag, due to his trauma from Meeple. This aforementioned trauma caused him to have an outburst at Poppy after misinterpreting the message accidentally recorded by Tapey, and as he always was quite nervous and on edge even prior to the Inanimate Insanity II Movie, where most of the trauma that causes him to be distrustful of those he associates with Cobs or Meeple occurred. As of currently, he has recognized his wrongful actions with the help of OJ and has befriended Poppy and MeTag, even helping MeTag escape from Bow by standing at a side angle to seem invisible.

Salt;

Salt is a female contestant on Inanimate Insanity.

In the first season, despite not often helping in challenges, being on the more successful Team Chickenleg with her Best Condiment Friend Forever (BCFF), Pepper, helped her progress in the game. When Pepper was eliminated, Salt began to obsess over OJ, leading to her elimination in "Aquatic Conflict" with 92 votes, alongside Paintbrush.

In Inanimate Insanity II, she is a supporting character who did not compete, but appeared every so often. She had a major role in "Alternate Reality Show", with her and Pepper hosting Inanimate Insanity Infinity in an alternate timeline.

In Inanimate Insanity IV, she is a doctor and receptionist at the Hospital along with Pepper. She is a salt shaker with a silver cap, The holes on her cap form a star shape, which is similar to Pepper.

Salt is very similar to her close friend Pepper, the two looking very similar to each other, having nearly the same voice and personality, and liking the same things. Salt is a bit different from Pepper, as she seems to be more self-centered and arrogant, rather than caring for her BCFF as much. After showing a love interest in OJ, she begins to mess up plans and not follow instructions.

Salt mostly wants attention from OJ, always trying to impress him to the point in the The Snowdown, Salt was holding a mistletoe just for OJ to kiss her. OJ feels uncomfortable with her, trying to avoid her for the rest of the season. Salt also shows a lazy side too, her lack of energy to do a challenge can cost her team by avoiding doing a challenge to talk to Pepper or being distracted to flirt with OJ instead.

In the Infinity timeline (and other timelines), her relationship with Pepper is more and has toxic and causes her to have world-changing consequences.

Ever since "Objects in Mirror" Salt has stepped away from OJ and now works at a hospital in Inanimate Insanity IV.

Pepper;

Click here to see more of Pepper's quotes. Pepper is a female contestant on Inanimate Insanity and Inanimate Insanity IV.

In the first season, she was chosen on to Team Chickenleg. While competing, she was inseparable from her best friend, Salt, even willingly throwing challenges to save Salt whenever she failed them. Her dependent nature led to her elimination in "4Seeing The Future".

In Inanimate Insanity II, Pepper is a supporting character who did not compete, but appeared every so often. She had a major role in "Alternate Reality Show", with her and Salt hosting Inanimate Insanity Infinity in an alternate timeline.

Pepper is currently competing in Inanimate Insanity IV as a member of Circumspect, and is also working at the Hospital as a doctor alongside Salt. Pepper is a grey shaker with a silver cap, The holes on her cap form a star shape which is similar to Salt. Pepper is a lot like her BCFF, Salt, in that they're both vapid and unintelligent people. They have similar manners of speaking and are generally happy just to be together, whether they're lounging around or causing trouble for others. They are both egocentric, stubborn people, but they ultimately adore one another, as shown when they fawn over each other at the end of "The Paper Cut".

Pepper prioritizes Salt above all else, and tries to be as similar to her as possible by following her lead. She is at times possessive towards her closest friend, as shown when she tells Salt she isn't allowed to make friends or find love in "The Penultimate Poll". This dysfunction goes both ways, as Salt often fails to consider how her closest friend feels in her own pursuit of happiness - like when she replaced Pepper with OJ after Pepper's elimination (in the original season one; this doesn't apply to the remaster).

This is just one expression of the fact that Pepper and Salt have less in common than one might think. Pepper is more pronouncedly vindictive than Salt. She is openly spiteful towards OJ, threatening to spill him and being happy at his misfortunes. In addition, Pepper was more interested in the game than Salt, as she often asked about challenges (though she followed Salt's lead, even in cases where Salt didn't care about the challenge). She even willingly joined the fourth season without Salt being there with her.

In the Infinity timeline (and other timelines), Pepper differs from her ordinary self. In "Alternate Reality Show", she is power-hungry; however, the dysfunction in their relationship has grown more toxic, and has world-changing consequences. In the Cinnamonfinity timeline featured in Fan's Fantastic Features, she is in a similar position of power.

Eventually, by Inanimate Insanity IV, she joins in as a contestant, hoping that she has full independence of herself without relying too much on Salt. Her past personality got even to the point that it made her feel bitter once Magnet first interacted with her judging by her first impression of Magnet with her egocentricity and not allowing others to speak up. It can be present that her disdain with Magnet comes from how clingy and obsessed she is with her.

Oj (Orange Juice) ;

Orange Juice (usually referred to as OJ for short) is the winner of Inanimate Insanity, was a contestant on Inanimate Insanity Invitational, and is a supporting character in Inanimate Insanity IV

Competing on Team Chickenleg, OJ started with a quiet game, though he was manipulated and betrayed multiple times within his alliance. Through finding truer allies in the merge, he made it to the finale and defeated Taco in the final challenge, becoming Inanimate Insanity's first winner.

Although he wasn't chosen to be a contestant in Inanimate Insanity II, he made appearances as a supporting character, even being a temporary host in "Everything's A-OJ."

He returned in Inanimate Insanity Invitational as a member of The Thinkers, where he tried to hold a leader position among others, but was blindsided and eliminated for the first time ever in "The Overthinkers" after Yin-Yang received immunity, leaving him as the one with the second most votes due to a setup by Silver Spoon. He left Indefinite Island early, not participating in either rejoin challenge. He placed 16th.

As of Inanimate Insanity IV, he is a co-leader of Inanimate Island alongside Suitcase and Cabby. He is a glass cup filled with orange juice. OJ is a prideful and assertive character. Throughout season 1, he forms multiple alliances, winning the season with much help from others. As of now, he is the winner of Inanimate Insanity season 1 and the owner of Hotel OJ. He has grown into a more hardworking and productive person over time, though he still struggles with self absorption and a harsh personality.

In season 1, OJ is cruel and critical. He laughs at Marshmallow when she's zapped by Knife in "War De Guacamole", he's okay with Balloon kicking Taco in "A Lemony Lesson" because it helped with the challenge, he directly insults Bomb in "Double Digit Desert" by telling him he deserves the immunity more because he’s “smarter than him”, and he complains so often that Pickle mentions it as a possible reason to vote him out in "The Penultimate Poll". Though he remains irritable, he learns to be a kinder person after befriending Paper, rather trying to help him in "Inanimate Smackdown" when he’s being bullied by Apple instead of egging her on. In the final episode, OJ makes a speech about friendship, and it is revealed in "Breaking the Ice" that he has built a hotel where all of the season 1 contestants now live for free.

The role of hotel manager and owner is shown to slowly exhaust OJ more and more, leading to him becoming overworked and overwhelmed, the latter mentioned in a Tweet from Brian Koch. In "Rain On Your Charade", he talks to Balloon about how he has become a sort of caretaker for the contestants, struggling to keep up with his demanding job. He gets the season 2 contestants to help him clean the hotel in "Everything’s A-OJ", since it was still in need of repairs from when MePhone4 crashed a plane into it. In that same episode, he is shown to again be rude and disrespectful, such as when he randomly eliminates Suitcase and claims she's ruining the show, or wastes the contestants’ time by making them clean his hotel and then deciding to simply do a coin toss to determine who won the challenge. Overall, OJ shows a more productive but stressed-out side in season 2, wanting to get work done fast while clearly feeling miserable about it.

When OJ is tricked into joining Inanimate Insanity Invitational with the rest of the returners, believing he's going on a short trip to see a Spoiled Lemon concert, he becomes extremely anxious about leaving the hotel, even if just for a short while. He is very uncomfortable with the concept of a vacation in any shape or form and ends up trying to force himself into a leadership position on The Thinkers, attempting to make decisions for the team (such as in "The Overthinkers") and getting upset when challenged. This leads to him frequently butting heads with Paintbrush, considering their short temper and OJ’s inability to listen to them (or anyone else). Once he is voted out in "The Overthinkers", he leaves calmly, seemingly not too fazed about being eliminated.

OJ is uncomfortable when out of control and will try to rectify this uneasiness by ordering people around and insisting on leading the situation. He is blunt, egotistical, irritable, and has a consistent problem with taking credit for others’ work, such as when he tries to get immunity in "Double Digit Desert" without actually having done any of the challenge on his own, and when Paper states in "The Reality of the Situation" that OJ brushes off his efforts and tries to make everything about himself. Either way, OJ is still hardworking and highly dedicated to his job, claiming in his Exit Interview that he enjoys being productive and useful.

In Inanimate Insanity IV, OJ is a lot more cheerful and upbeat, likely due to him not needing to manage the hotel anymore, despite the fact he is still in a major position of leadership with the OSC. He seems to be very focused on not displaying any favoritism towards those in the competition, especially Paper.

Balloon;

Balloon, labeled The Forgivable, is a male contestant on Inanimate Insanity and was the team captain of Team Chickenleg. He was eliminated in "Sugar Rush" in a contestant vote, with all of his teammates voting against him.

He returned to compete in Inanimate Insanity II and was a member of The Grand Slams until his elimination in "Kick the Bucket", alongside Nickel.

He once again returned to compete in Inanimate Insanity Invitational, and was a member of The Sinkers until moving to The NEW Pinkers before the merge and later in the finale. His disloyal, cutthroat, and unpredictable gameplay made him a silent threat, and although his plead to the jury gained him respect, it didn't rack enough votes to secure the win, which resulted in him losing to Cabby in a 7-6-2 vote, placing him as the runner-up of the season. He is a light red latex balloon. The neck of the balloon is positioned between his legs. He is one of the bigger characters, his height becoming more apparent when standing next to shorter characters (like Nickel). He is filled with helium. In the first season, Balloon was regarded as the most manipulative and spiteful character, as well as the most hated of the objects (until Taco took his place in the finale). Balloon was very rude and mean to his members team, Team Chickenleg, even as the team captain. Balloon rendered others useless and made very derogatory and bad remarks about them to the point that he could make outbursts of profanity.

Balloon makes a return to Inanimate Insanity II with a completely different outlook. He became a much nicer character and wanted to help out with challenges such as in "Marsh on Mars." Balloon was also very charitable and assisting, making an attempt to save Box from sinking after being knocked into the pool by Toilet in "Tri Your Best." Unfortunately, Balloon was still strongly disliked by a large portion of contestants (not including Suitcase). This made him a frequent target of hurtful words and actions.

Balloon in Inanimate Insanity Invitational had quite the personality change, wanting to be more genuine and had no problem standing up for himself.

---

Suitcase;

Suitcase is the winner of Inanimate Insanity II, a protagonist in Inanimate Insanity II: The Movie, and a supporting character in Inanimate Insanity IV.

In Inanimate Insanity II, Suitcase was placed on The Grand Slams, and competed throughout the merge and as a finalist alongside Knife before eventually winning the season.

As of Inanimate Insanity IV, she is a co-leader of Inanimate Island alongside the other two winners, OJ and Cabby. She is the leader of safety, sharing the same first letter as her name’s in the acronym for the Organization of Sensible Careers. Suitcase is a brown suitcase with yellow straps on her sides. She is able to open up herself whenever she wants in order to store items. Suitcase is most noteworthy for her kind-hearted, empathetic nature, and an independent person. She tries to see the good in everyone, but this noble ambition of hers sometimes blinds her to other people's less-than-good intentions.

At the start of the series, Suitcase is bubbly, but timid. She is outspoken about the importance of kindness and what she thinks is right, but is a chronic people-pleaser, leading to her folding when people act annoyed with her.

Her people-pleaser tendency and her strong sense of justice clash frequently, but ultimately she becomes more independent, cognizant of the fact that she should call out bad behavior and do what's right, no matter how much conflict it causes (this is an element in "Mazed and Confused", "Kick the Bucket", and "Hatching the Plan"). Despite this growth, she feels immense guilt when standing for what's right hurts people which is shown when she started lashing out on Nickel and Baseball and saw how hurt the latter was. She can also become very emotional and depressed when she does not get a say in what she believes is right, as she cried in Kick the Bucket after Nickel did not care about anything she told him.

Complicating things further, she has an evolving notion of what the game should be to her. After her temporary elimination in "Everything's A-OJ", she becomes keener on proving her value to her teammates and "taking the game more seriously," but finds that it is difficult to navigate the fine line between doing what's right and maintaining good relationships with those around her, as well as parsing what is and isn't personal in the game.

This follows from Suitcase's tendency to internalize things, perhaps out of a desire not to feel like a burden. In the episode "Truth or Flare", under coercion from Taco, she admits to her hallucinations, explaining that they are probably the result of anxiety. These hallucinations occur both visually and auditorily, and cause her great strife.

Despite her values of kindness, Suitcase has the potential to use sarcasm or sass. After admitting to experiencing hallucinations, she tells Taco, "thanks for making this such a comforting environment," an obviously sarcastic statement. Also in "Truth or Flare"--after Taco says that there is no winning--Suitcase says, "looks like I won" when the fire burns her rope. This shows Suitcase's patience can wear thin.

Suitcase is easily frightened; in "Let 'Er R.I.P.", she is scared off by the mere beginning of Nickel's scary story.

Knife;

Knife was a male contestant in Inanimate Insanity, and a protagonist in Inanimate Insanity II: The Movie. In the first season, he competed on Team Epic. He returned in Inanimate Insanity II, being placed on The Grand Slams, and served as a finalist, alongside Suitcase. He is a pocketknife with a black rubber handle. He is mean generally and enjoys mocking others. He has a very destructive and malicious attitude, being much of a bully to victims such as Paper and Marshmallow in particular. He was incredibly blunt and loud and said whatever came to his mind, unafraid of hurting others whether it's physically or psychologically. He has shown to be lazy in "A Lemony Lesson" where he tells Paper they did not need to compete. However, he is also dedicated to completing challenges and strives to win.

Despite being very mean and violent, Knife shows to have a soft side, which is highlighted by his attachment to his Dora Doll. In Marsh on Mars, Knife starts off feeling ashamed of this side of himself and is terrified of ruining his dignity. However, in Cooking for the Grater Good, he stops caring about this. He learns to be unafraid of letting Trophy show the picture of him and the Dora Doll to the other contestants. As season 2 progresses, there is a noticeable change in his social approach, such as when Knife advises Pickle in "Everything's A-OJ". He also advises Suitcase and Microphone about their respective situations, shows care and attentiveness to other's problems.

Knife is also shown to be more observant, and takes notice of things others do not, such as noting Microphone's absences and that Suitcase struggles with her alliance. His suspicions leaded to him being the only contestant who knows that Microphone is working with Taco as he finds out in Alternate Reality Show. Despite this, Knife hasn't said anything about it. This was due to not wanting to reveal her secret and repeating what Trophy did to him, which shows his more empathetic side. He attempted to convince her out of the situation and tried to give her advice, and roots for her as she finally listened to her heart.

Knife evolved into a very strategic player in later season 2. In Hatching the Plan, he recognized Test Tube's intelligence as a threat and attempted to convince the others that she was a dangerous player. He also conveyed the idea of the game being impersonal and was shown to be rational and adaptive. He showed a lot of interest in advancing in the game and had become an incredibly clever contestant.

Pickle;

Pickle is a male contestant on Inanimate Insanity.

Despite his dim wit and siding with the outcast Taco, being placed on the superior Team Chicken Leg kept Pickle safe into the merge. He was eliminated in "The Penultimate Poll" with 329 votes, placing 4th overall.

Though not chosen to compete in Inanimate Insanity II, he appeared as a supporting character in a few episodes. He is a tall, bumpy, dark green cucumber, giving him the appearance of a pickle, despite not being pickled. Pickle is a laid-back contestant who has a sweet but idiotic mind. While often mellow and easygoing, Pickle can be excited and courageous in challenges despite not doing well, such as in "The Crappy Cliff" where he boasts about his cliff-jumping experience, but immediately fails in 3 seconds. He is also not very good at simple tasks like throwing a ring in "The Penultimate Poll" or completing a video game level in "Breaking the Ice". He will nonetheless try his best in challenges, even when his unintelligence gets in the way.

Pickle is overall unintelligent and often wrong about many things, like stating how Marshmallow is "blue" in "One-Shot Wonder". Furthermore in "Aquatic Conflict", he mistakenly places an eye patch over the wrong eye after he is hit in his right eye by a lemon.

Pickle cares about his friends, most particularly Taco, as he was one of the few contestants who respected her. His bond with her mostly stemmed from both of their low intelligence, but Taco soon revealed her stupidity and friendship with Pickle were merely an act to gain positive viewership in "Journey Through Memory Lane (Part 2)". Taco's betrayal deeply upset Pickle and affected his personality to become much more impassive and less open to others.

In "The Reality of the Situation", it's revealed that Pickle still bitterly holds onto his past experiences with Taco, despite their emotional harm, and refuses to read any letters from her.

Microphone;

Microphone is a female contestant on Inanimate Insanity II and Inanimate Insanity IV.

In Inanimate Insanity II, Microphone was placed with The Grand Slams. She placed 6th overall, quitting the show in "Hatching the Plan".

Microphone currently competes in Inanimate Insanity IV as a member of Thematic Cats. Microphone is a dark grey wireless microphone. A power button is on her chest, while she has a light grey collar around her grilles. Another collar appears near her flat bottom area. She also has a gain knob on her lower back. At the start of the season, Microphone began as one of the most level-headed newbies. She is upbeat, kind and especially open to meeting others. Microphone's energetic temperament makes her a determined and competitive contestant who aims to do her best in challenges. However, most of Microphone's positive attributes involve her voice getting irritatingly loud, which can annoy others easily. This causes some to view her more as an annoyance than a good ally. Despite this, Microphone initially is proud and holds herself in high regard.

Microphone is generally outspoken and honest about her opinions, noting that Soap's pizza looked unappetizing in "Cooking for the Grater Good" and affronting Dough in "A Kick in the Right Direction". She also appears to be easily irritated by others who disrespect or mock her, most particularly Cheesy (until Cheesy got eliminated) and often dismisses others' criticisms. Microphone's honesty can make her impulsive and lose control of her actions, often causing her to mess up in contests or offend others. However, she is working on how to control herself, and her temper.

In "Theft and Battery", it is revealed that Microphone keeps a secret diary where she writes her personal thoughts, in which, nobody else is supposed to know about. In her passages, Microphone becomes self-critical and writes about her bad traits, particularly losing challenges and irritating others. After Taco learns of Microphone's strife in "Rain On Your Charade", she offers her a deal to help in challenges and lead her on a more definitive yet fraudulent path to victory. Microphone is reluctant at first but agrees to secretly align with Taco.

Microphone begins to warily obey Taco's mischievous plans for victory, such as using her gain to get Taco to help her out of the maze in "Mazed and Confused". Microphone suddenly realizes Taco wants to cause trouble to others, and disagrees with Taco's idea of paralyzing Balloon, thinking it's wrong in "Kick the Bucket" and vouches for alternative means of mental manipulation.

Their partnership continues up until "Hatching the Plan" where Microphone has had enough of Taco's recklessness. After rescuing Fan, Microphone realizes that Taco's just using her to get recognition and asks her if she said the same thing to Pickle, asking Taco if she also manipulated him into doing reprehensible actions to win in an accusatory tone. After this, Microphone mutes her gain to never listen to Taco ever again. During the elimination, Microphone voluntarily quits the show, stating that there was a Voice In Her Head pushing her to go further than Microphone was originally willing to go. She concludes by stating that the choices she made weren't exactly the best, and that having herself be out of the show would be the first good choice she'd made. Before heading through the portal, she warns Knife that Taco is still out there, and advises Knife to watch himself.

Soap;

Soap is a female contestant in Inanimate Insanity II and Inanimate Insanity IV. In Inanimate Insanity II, she was placed on The Grand Slams. She was eliminated in "Rain On Your Charade" with a record 2,663 votes, placing 12th overall. She is currently competing in Inanimate Insanity IV as a member of Thematic Cats. She is a white bottle of soap with a face inside a square pink label with pink horizontal stripes above and below. On her head is a pink cap with a pink pump. Her arms are on the sides and her legs are at the bottom of the bottle. As a conscientious yet relentless player, Soap excels in maintaining order. At the start of the series, Soap is often seen fretting over germs, and can usually be seen cleaning things with the small blue cloth she carries around with her to scrub and wipe things, even if they are already somewhat clean. Her fear of germs proved to be a distraction from the competition.

Despite Soap's need to constantly clean, she is a kind and formidable competitor at heart with a penchant for leading. In "Cooking for the Grater Good", after noting her cooking etiquette, Soap nominates herself as acting captain for her team in the pizza making challenge, with the approval of Baseball. Soap's confidence, outspoken nature, willingness to listen to her team, and enthusiasm for challenges makes her a natural leader. In "Everything's A-OJ", Soap once again takes upon the role as leader to inspire and lead her team efficiently through song.

However, Soap's newfound power over her team causes her to become ruthless in challenges due to her competitive nature and often act out of line. This is first seen when she uses Cheesy to make her team's pizza in "Cooking for the Grater Good", but also when she threw Toilet out of her team's hot air balloon at the opposing team in "Theft and Battery".

Soap shows a desire to become the best version of herself. She recognizes her compulsion to clean as a defense mechanism and takes steps to get over it, as seen in "Rain On Your Charade" as she tries to throw her cleaning supplies off a cliff. Soap also shows an intuition for helping those around her improve themselves, giving Microphone and Suitcase sound advice during her elimination. Her understanding of what their struggles were could bely an observant nature with attention to detail.

Lightbulb;

Lightbulb is a female contestant on Inanimate Insanity, Inanimate Insanity II, and Inanimate Insanity IV.

Despite being the captain of Team Epic, Lightbulb didn't perform often in team challenges. She was mistakenly eliminated in "The Stacker" with 64 votes, but rejoined in the following episode in place of Nickel, who properly received the most votes. She was re-eliminated in "The Snowdown" with 120 votes, just one more than Pickle.

Lightbulb was the fourth previous contestant chosen to participate in Inanimate Insanity II, once again becoming a team captain, this time for The Bright Lights. She often clashed with Paintbrush due to their differences in leadership, but the two became closer throughout the season; she also allied with Fan and Test Tube. Becoming the last remaining member of The Bright Lights, Lightbulb made it all the way to the final four before being eliminated in "Truth or Flare" due to placing last in the challenge after recognizing she values her connections more than the game.

Lightbulb competed in Inanimate Insanity IV as a member of Heavy Metal Pop Stars before being eliminated in "Fan the Flames" with only 1 vote. She placed 22nd overall. Lightbulb resembles an incandescent light bulb. Her face appears on her glass bulb. Within her bulb, she has a stem sticking out above her metal sleeve. Lightbulb's arms and legs stick out of her sleeve. Lightbulb is an enthusiastic, kind of lazy, nitwitted, free-spirited and optimistic character. Lightbulb is greatly known for her goofy and ludicrous attitude, given that when she returned for Inanimate Insanity II, her character had completely changed from the clumsy and dizzy leader of Team Epic to a more comical, almighty, and influential chief and commander of Team Bright Lights. This makes Lightbulb the only character in the series to be captain in multiple seasons of Inanimate Insanity.

Given that Lightbulb's personality is quite erratic and unpredictable, Lightbulb may appear as a smart leader one moment, but then become a goofy couch potato in an instant. She will also often display bizarre thought processes, in one manner, she will believe that standing still throughout an entire challenge will cause her to win. In other challenges, she may come up with a thoughtful idea that may lead her to victory or out of a difficult situation. She can also be seen giving almost everyone various different nicknames, even calling them by the wrong names sometimes.

Disregarding her leadership, Lightbulb is a generally kind, caring, and benevolent player with a large love for cookies. Additionally, Lightbulb will eat inedible objects with ease, such as sticks, balls of yarn, metal buckets, and boxes of fish food. Lightbulb is an extrovert and quite attached to the people she cares about. She is almost constantly around people she likes and commonly in a good mood as well. Furthermore, she is in a noticeably low mood after Paintbrush decides they wanted to stop working with her. When upset or agitated, Lightbulb can be even more careless than usual and act recklessly against herself or others, She sometimes claims that she drinks in certain situations, such as when she's depressed or oppressed.

According to the crew, throughout the series, Lightbulb feels more separated and wants everyone to be exactly the same. This is further emphasized in "Alternate Reality Show", wherein an alternate timeline, she finds characters who are alike and feels welcome.

---

Baxter;

Baxter is a minor character on Inanimate Insanity II. He is Lightbulb and Paintbrush's pet crab who made his first appearance in Kick the Bucket, where he was named in the post-credits scene. Baxter is a red crab with shiny black eyes protruding from stems on his head. His pincers are simplistic, although from "Alternate Reality Show" onward, he has a more complex and detailed design and is a darker shade of red. In "Kick the Bucket" during the challenge, Lightbulb dives into the lake searching for the golden coin, but ends up finding and spitting out Baxter (who is then unnamed) instead, much to Paintbrush's annoyance. Later in the post-credits scene, Lightbulb names the crab Baxter, who then pinches Lightbulb on the thumb and jumps back into the lake, upsetting Lightbulb.

In "Alternate Reality Show", Lightbulb is still sad about losing Baxter in the previous episode. Later, when she stumbled into Test Tube's secret lab, Lightbulb tells Test Tube that she found Baxter offscreen as she once again spits him out. Baxter accompanied Lightbulb and Test Tube to the past and the alternate reality. He also assisted Lightbulb in her plan to return everything to normal by posing as a radioactive crab in the past. Once everything was returned to normal and Paintbrush was eliminated, Lightbulb gave Baxter to them as a parting gift. Due to Lightbulb's scheme in the past, Salt and Pepper were terrified of seeing the crab again. He made a cameo in "Mine Your Own Business" and was seen in "Hatching the Plan" living in Paintbrush and Fan's room. He was once again seen in "Truth or Flare" while inside the hotel, with Lightbulb holding him after being eliminated.

After Inanimate Insanity Invitational started and Paintbrush left thinking that they would be going to a Spoiled Lemon concert, Baxter was left at Hotel OJ because, according to Cabby's files, concerts are too loud for him. It's unknown who took care of him in Paintbrush's absence. In "Home Is Where the Heart Is", Paintbrush briefly mentions him before getting punched to Indefinite Island.

---

Paintbrush;

Paintbrush is a non-binary contestant on Inanimate Insanity, Inanimate Insanity II, and Inanimate Insanity Invitational.

Though a pragmatic and hardworking member of the ill-fated Team Epic, Paintbrush's pettiness and short temper caused them to falter on a few occasions. They were eliminated in "Aquatic Conflict" alongside Salt with 70 votes.

Paintbrush was the first previous contestant chosen to participate in Inanimate Insanity II. Their time on The Bright Lights mostly involved clashing with Lightbulb and Fan's more nonsensical natures, causing their anger issues to flare up even stronger than normal. A violent outburst during a challenge and their status as a challenge threat resulted in their elimination by a 3-2-2-1 vote in "Alternate Reality Show," not before making amends with Lightbulb and the remaining Bright Lights.

They returned in Inanimate Insanity Invitational as a member of The Thinkers, where they briefly tried to secure a leader position over OJ. They especially clashed with Silver Spoon, who stayed with them into the swap to The NEW Pinkers and stunned them with multiple blindsides throughout the season. This included damaging The New Old Thinkers alliance alongside Candle, which broke Paintbrush's spirits enough for them to be ready to leave by "Home Is Where the Heart Is" where they were eliminated in a 4-3 split for their threat status. Paintbrush has a long rounded body with a square head. A silver metal rim surrounds the top of their head. Paintbrush has yellow bristles that form a pointed brush that emerges from the metal rim. At the bottom of their body is a hole cut out in the center of Paintbrush's torso. In comparison to other contestants, Paintbrush is remarkably tall, as Knife says in both season 1 and 2. Paintbrush is a responsible contestant who is pragmatic in their approach to challenges and life. They take the game very seriously compared to other contestants, and try to corral their team into trying their best at challenges and taking as few risks as possible. They hold their friends and allies' best interests at heart. In some ways, their problem is that they care too much; when things don't go their way and their teammates don't try their best, they are prone to angry outbursts. When they're angry, sometimes they resort to physical violence and yelling (like when they punch Fan and say they hate him in Mazed and Confused).

Although they are a skilled leader, they are outranked by Lightbulb and her outside-the-box ideas. Although Paintbrush shows a willingness to work with Lightbulb in some episodes, they often butt heads because they are both stubbornly set in their ways.

They are a compassionate, loyal friend, as seen when they try their best to comfort Marshmallow, and are always there to save Nickel in Season 1 when things go awry. Paintbrush is both outspoken and very impatient, so they are not unfailingly kind. This is especially true in Season 1 episodes such as The Snowdown, where they're unnecessarily rude to Apple and MePhone4. They are also shown to be petty at times; examples of this are present when they still feel angry at OJ for besting them in the Christmas Challenge in The Penultimate Poll, even though it'd been months.

Marshmallow;

Marshmallow is a female contestant on Inanimate Insanity and Inanimate Insanity II.

Considered a weak link on Team Epic by certain players, Marshmallow became a fan-favorite for her soft demeanor. However, her lashing out to the other contestants led to her tying with arch-enemy Apple in a 3-3-1 vote in "Inanimate Smackdown". Apple won the tiebreaker challenge against Marshmallow, eliminating her.

Marshmallow was the sixth previous contestant chosen to participate in Inanimate Insanity II. Placed on The Bright Lights, she made amends with Apple, but a supposed manipulation on Apple's part caused her to have doubts about what on the show is and isn't real. In "Kick the Bucket", She ran away from the show due to having grown tired of it, and went off to live with Bow at Purgatory Mansion to stay away from all of this, and believing Bow had something to do with Apple's betrayal, she confronted her in "Kick the Bucket", but the two reconciled and became friends again. She was officially disqualified from the competition in "Alternate Reality Show" due to her absence, due to her and Apple choosing to stay at the mansion. She is a marshmallow. Marshmallow is a naïve, kind-hearted, fierce, and aggressive player. She is commonly characterized as sweet, joyous and vivacious with others.

As a critical and occasionally cynical person, Marshmallow is generally concerned only with her own interests and is not afraid to speak her mind without caring about the consequences. Though being so puny and inadequate, Marshmallow makes up for it with strong motivation and usually carries through challenges with ease. Her aggressiveness can sometimes drive her to make rash decisions, such as destroying the bar in "War De Guacamole" to kill OJ, and using Apple to cross the quicksand in "4Seeing The Future". As a result, Marshmallow primarily cares only about herself, and occasionally her select friends, often causing trouble between her and the other contestants.

Marshmallow has been through many unreliable relationships. Marshmallow's friendship has constantly been difficult with Apple, as the two quickly became enemies after Marshmallow ruined Christmas for Apple in "The Snowdown". However, in "Marsh on Mars", Apple and Marshmallow were quick to resolve their issues, come to a truce, and spend more time together. Apple began to develop an excessive clinginess to Marshmallow, who disliked the attention she was receiving and began to see Apple as an annoyance rather than a friend. Their relationship turns for the worse following the events of "Let 'Er R.I.P.", where Apple reveals that she was using Marshmallow for the competition, destroying their friendship. This was later resolved in Kick the Bucket, where Bow not only told Marshmallow that she possessed Apple to say that Marshmallow is a bad person, but get Marshmallow to work up the courage to help Apple leave Hotel OJ to join her, Bow, and Dough in the haunted house.

Because of this, Marshmallow has become untrustworthy of others and tries to keep her problems to herself. When she opens up to friends, no one seems to understand or give helpful advice. Marshmallow also develops a deep hatred towards the competition and how it changes people. Eventually, Marshmallow is driven to leave the competition and get away from the stress it caused her.

---

Apple;

Apple is a female contestant on Inanimate Insanity and Inanimate Insanity II.

A fan-created character recommended by totaldrama23, Apple had a chance to join Inanimate Insanity in "War De Guacamole," ultimately doing so by winning a paintball challenge. She would be placed on Team Epic, but clashed with fellow teammates Marshmallow and Paintbrush multiple times. Her disdain with Marshmallow in particular caused her to be eliminated in "The Great Escape" with 244 votes.

Apple was the seventh previous contestant chosen to participate in Inanimate Insanity II. Placed on The Bright Lights, she made amends with Marshmallow. However, a ploy from a certain jealous ex-contestant caused her to look like she was using Marshmallow to advance in the game. Once this ploy was revealed to Marshmallow, the two made amends once more and moved to Purgatory Mansion together. She was eliminated in "Everything's A-OJ" with 2,045 votes. Apple is a circular guardsman red apple with indents on her top and bottom, making her appear rather heart-shaped with two bumps on either of her top and bottom. A green stem and single leaf sprout out at the top of Apple's head. Apple's arms are on either side, and her legs branch out from the two bumps at her bottom. Since her debut, she was a notoriously nonsensical, ignorant, and an idiotic contestant. Apple's foolishness has caused her to get in countless amounts of trouble, for example, when she forgot how to use a simple paint gun in "War De Guacamole", and she apparently took 27 hours to remember.

She showed that she had slight intelligence in rare situations, such as in "4Seeing The Future" where she copied Marshmallow's technique (that she used on Apple) of throwing a contestant into quicksand and jumping across.

Despite her initial kind character, Apple was a rather vengeful and cantankerous person. Her feud with Marshmallow only seemed to worsen over time as those two girls continued to become each other's rivals. This may drive Apple to carry out reckless actions, such as in "Breaking The Ice" where Apple threw glass in Marshmallow's face and promptly lit her on fire.

When Apple explained the reason why she hated Marshmallow is that she ruined Christmas for her in "The Snowdown", in "Marsh on Mars", Apple and Marshmallow were quick to resolve their issues and come to a truce. The girls became friends and began to spend more time together. However, this caused a major shift in Apple's overall attitude. As she befriended Marshmallow, Apple began to invest a massive interest in Marshmallow and quickly resulted in Apple developing an excessive clinginess to her. She began to give up her elimination prizes to Marshmallow, solely passes to her in the soccer game in "A Kick in the Right Direction", and literally clinging onto her in "Let 'Er R.I.P.".

Apple's clingy obsession with Marshmallow consequently backfired, as Marshmallow began to dislike all the attention Apple gave her and only saw her as an annoyance rather than a friend.

Box;

Box is a female contestant on Inanimate Insanity II, Inanimate Insanity Invitational, and Inanimate Insanity IV.

Prior to the first season, Box was one of many box-adjacent contestants subconsciously created by MePhone4 for the show. Following her interview from the host, Box wasn't contacted for a month, which led her to return to the area for an update. She returned to find many more box-like contestants in line, which led her to question why she even wanted to compete in the first place. After running away, she accidentally tripped on a rock, which resulted in her falling and drowning in a nearby lake. MePhone was alerted and fished her up, only to find her as a limbless corpse.

As MePhone wasn't able to fully recover her body, Box competed in Inanimate Insanity II as a basic cardboard box. She was placed on The Grand Slams and got eliminated in "A Kick in the Right Direction", placing 17th overall.

Box competed as a contestant on Inanimate Insanity Invitational as a member of The Sinkers. After holding the most strategic agency on The Sinkers and spearheading the eliminations of Blueberry and Lifering, she was medically evacuated from the game after an accident caused by her team's poor dynamics along with Clover's luck, and did not go to Indefinite Island, not participating in either rejoin challenge. She placed 15th overall.

Box is currently competing in Inanimate Insanity IV as a member of Go Big or Be Last. In Inanimate Insanity II pre-finale and Inanimate Insanity Invitational, Box was not shown to have a personality, since she was not alive. Despite this, other contestants treated Box as if she was sentient, often speaking to and for her or seeing her silence as shy, wise, emotional or rude depending on the situation. In Inanimate Insanity Invitational, Box was seen by Nickel and Balloon as a backstabber since she accidentally voted for them after supposedly allying with them. These completely coincidental incidents made her a powerful ally in Tea Kettle's eyes. It was also seen through the subtitles of some episodes that Box did have a voice, although it was unheard of in the videos. It was inferred by the rest of the cast that Box could talk.

Trophy was the only character to call out the cardboard material's lifelessness, prompting everyone else to defend the inanimate object. Despite that animosity, both teamed up in "The Participation Trophy" where it was also revealed Box idolizes Trophy and "mimics his exercise regimen", using it to swiftly (offscreen to the viewers) navigate the kiddie pool obstacle course, earning Trophy's respect despite both of them also losing to Team Cinnamonfinity.

Even though Box seemingly moved sometimes, it was stated multiple times Box that is not a very good swimmer, sinking rapidly in any body of water and having to be rescued by Lifering and Yin-Yang.

During "Objects in Mirror", Box's true personality was shown. She is on the shy side, to the point where MePhone referred to her as "meekish" in her audition. Box also represses her feelings, leading to her having "everything packed" inside. She claims she does this since it allows her to "always know where everything is", and that expressing her feelings could cause things to get messy. Box is shown to be desensitized to death and the afterlife, remarking how she's been in the afterlife for a while, and shrugging off the claim that everyone had died, asking how they died immediately after. She gets noticeably upset at mainly MePhone4, but also Suitcase, and the other competitors having her corpse on the show, claiming that they were "doing it as a bit." Box also seemed to have trust issues, as she is both quick to apologize and mostly lays low. Outside of her general personality, she also has a sense of humor not everybody can understand; containing sarcasm and deadpanning. Box became aware that MePhone created the contestants before everybody else. She never learned to swim, which lead to her death. Overall, Box is a meekish character, that occasionally takes initiative.

A new aspect of her personality has developed in "Fan the Flames", where she ends up getting blurry vision and the lack of instinct, almost potentially injuring Bonesaw, proving that because of her long-term isolation, she often has trouble knowing what to do and is incompetent to the dangers surrounding her. She does also refuses to talk to anyone about her incompetence given what she almost did to hurt someone, with the given instance of Bonesaw while he was rock-climbing. The only one in her team in Go Big or Be Last to find out about her incompetence and struggle to take initiative was Lifering, giving her advice and lending a notebook and a pen for her to communicate through writing words and sentences in case she refuses to speak as for now.

With the new notebook Lifering gave to her in the aforementioned episode, she uses it as an opportunity to display a more strategic and deliberate side of her as shown in "All Play and No Work". Aside from her notebook as a diary, expressing her thoughts personally, her diary serves as a strategic tool for the team, navigating places where they search for one of the ghosts' keys. Much like Lifering, who emphasizes on trying to save others, she also displays a compassionate and helpful side when helping out the Cherries with their "injury". Prior to "Objects in Mirror", Box had a simple appearance that accompanied her rather plain and nonexistent personality. She is an ordinary yellow rectangular cardboard box with four sides. A bump-like design runs along Box's sides and splits her into a lighter half above and darker half below. Her top can be opened by two small flaps. In "Objects in Mirror", she was revealed to have a face and limbs.

The inside of Box is completely empty, except for the written word "Box" that MePhone wrote inside Box, which Apple notably misreads as "Taco".

---

Bow;

Bow is a female contestant in Inanimate Insanity, and a major character in Inanimate Insanity II, as well as being one of the two secondary antagonists of the first season, alongside MePhone5.

First appearing "The Snowdown" starring in a commercial for Chairs, Bow had a surprise chance to join the game in "Double Digit Desert," in which she did alongside Paper. Her quick wit and silliness garnered her a fan favorite status, but was eliminated in "The Tile Divide" with 239 votes and trapped in a box to prevent any further breaches. This caused her to go insane, leading to her untimely death in "Journey Through Memory Lane (Part 2)."

Though chosen to join Inanimate Insanity II, Bow was ineligible to join due to her death, which was later revealed to be permanent. She continued to live in Purgatory Mansion as a ghost as revealed in the episode "Let Er' R.I.P.," where she began to assess her life outside the game. She is a pink hair bow with eyelashes, she also has feet and regular arms attached to the bows sides. Her center is round with the bows ends being sharp, similar to a triangle.

In Journey Through Memory Lane/Part 2, after escaping her box, her body was now pale and her sides are now ragged.

After being a ghost, she is translucent, her legs are replaced with a ghost tail and her sides are still ragged. Introduced as a random saleswoman for chairs, Bow was an enthusiastic yet stubborn attention-seeker with a hankering for stardom. Her persistence for attention earned her a spot on the show, much to MePhone4's chagrin. With her unexpected start up, Bow showcased her rather ditzy characteristics, particularly her exuberant spirit and dim-wittedness.

Bow might resemble a valley girl archetype, saying "like" and "totally", wearing makeup, and texting on her phone constantly. Additionally, Bow was quite simpleminded and usually misinterprets others' words, most often MePhone4's. Disregarding her intelligence, Bow was a kind and sympathetic contestant who will always run to the aid of her friend Marshmallow. She is, however, an exceptionally aggressive player who often does better than others at challenges. Fan takes note of these behaviors and helps Test Tube program them into Bot, though Bot was significantly friendlier and less aggressive.

When locked up in a box after her elimination, Bow's isolation caused her to manifest a feral and ferocious state. She eventually grows strong enough to break free of her box and attacks others in "Journey Through Memory Lane", and almost attacks Marshmallow.

She was eventually cured of her feral state with the re-introduction of a chair, though she immediately loses interest. Her violent state was brought out one last time in order to take down MePhone5, leading to her permanent death.

After her death and conversion to a ghost, Bow's desire for attention becomes destructive for herself and her best friend Marshmallow. She takes upon cruel actions, such as possessing, manipulating, and lying to others, in order to boost her personal outlook. Bow believes that being on the show boosts the quality and perception of characters and, in turn, gives them a better chance to be friends with players such as Marshmallow. Without the show, she claims, she was nothing.

Bot;

Bot, (formerly known as Bow, Bowbot and TBD), is a contestant on Inanimate Insanity Invitational. They competed on The Pinkers until "I Am Chocolate!". They were formerly voiced by Taylor Grodin, and are currently voiced by Shooshies.

Bot's game began aligned with the majority in every single early vote. Despite a mid-season identity crisis, Bot retained strategic agency in the majority alliance until deep into the merge, when Candle was blindsided after Bot's own plan was taken advantage of by Balloon. Bot then found themself on the chopping block due to a deadlock tie between Silver Spoon and Yin-Yang. With the non-tied players unable to reach a consensus, a randomized tiebreaker between the vulnerable players was forced, and Bot was the one eliminated at random in "Spring on the Breakfast!", sending them to Indefinite Island. After losing the second and final re-entry challenge, Bot's game concluded in 7th place.

Bot also makes appearances in Inanimate Insanity IV, co-hosting the competition along with Test Tube. Until Friend or Froze, Bot was identical in appearance to Bow, being shaped like a bubblegum-pink hair bow with eyelashes. They also have extendable (though usually short) legs, and regular arms attached to the sphere in front of their wings.

After the aforementioned episode, Nickel and Balloon gave them a makeover; now being a very light green sphere with side attachments resembling butterfly wings. They have four green beads and lines extending diagonally from the beads to the corners of each wing.

In Cob Mentality, among the chaos generated by Poppy's presence, Toilet attempts to attack Poppy, but ends up missing when they dodge out of the way and hits Bot by mistake, breaking open the left side of their head and exposing the mechanisms inside. Poppy then wraps the damaged area in a set of bandages made from one of their leaves, which they continue to wear afterwards. While Bot was created to be a mechanical replica of Bow, including catchphrases the latter used to say programmed on them, their personality is different from the character they're replicated from. They are much friendlier, more intelligent and self-reflective than their counterpart, while also not saying the typical valley girl words "like" and "totally" as frequently as Bow does. They've been shown to be a little more sarcastic as well, possibly picking the trait up from Nickel. Unlike most robots, Bot has feelings like a human despite running as a regular machine, only their feelings can be customized and self-programmed given the traits of any personality a regular or unique person would get.

They're shown to be extremely empathetic to those around them, showing extra sympathy to the people they feel are similar to them, such as when The Floor was extremely confused and exhausted by being put onto a picnic basket. They aren't afraid to go against others' wishes to do what they feel is right, such as going against their programming and Test Tube to be themself, or going against their alliance because they don't want to vote a friend, Paintbrush, out. The same thing they tried to help others is with Cabby. In their defense that while Test Tube still complains that she is not promising and not that interpersonal towards others with her files, Bot can easily make others happy through their empathy and confidence to try to make Cabby get encouraged by them.

Even though they're a robot, Bot also has visual-spatial intelligence and possibly logical intelligence because they claim to be a visual learner as seen in Blue Buried. Right after knowing who they are after the episode Out of Body Experience, implying that they are also intrapersonal and interpersonal at the same time, Bot is creative, problem-solving, open-minded, optimistic, artistic, and perceptive. One of their hobbies is drawing as they love doing it as explained in Spring on the Breakfast! that they can solve anyone's problems through art much how they helped The Floor by not only showing the drawing they made to ensure his growth, but also providing him with such an intrapersonal advice. Also when they just found out about their new life to start, Bot somehow used their imagination and visuality to create their future self in a drawing to also remind them they can still be intrapersonal as a reminder.

Goo;

Goo is a male contestant in Inanimate Insanity Invitational and Inanimate Insanity IV. Goo competed on the The Pinkers, and was swapped to The NEW Thinkers. He is voiced by Joshua Waters.

Goo held full strategic control of The Pinkers, participating in blindsiding Fan and having the strongest connections out of anyone on the team. However, an unlucky team swap left him with little agency and after his ally Clover was voted out, his poor challenge performance painted a large target on his back. In "Title TBD", Goo was outnumbered by the old Thinkers and after being unsuccessful in campaigning against Candle to their least loyal member, he was voted out 3-2. After being sent to Indefinite Island, he lost both re-entry challenges, ending his game in 12th place.

He is currently competing in Inanimate Insanity IV as a member of Go Big or Be Last. Goo is a small blob of light blue slime with an azure blue center and a cyan highlight. He has a wiggly mouth and he has no limbs. Goo is a very energetic and bubbly character who is always smiling and generally upbeat. He enjoys rambling and eventually getting off topic after long periods of talking. Goo frequently uses unusual analogies when speaking, and he observes that his analogies do not always "stick," resulting in many awkward conversations. Regardless, he remains optimistic, reasoning that even a bad impression is memorable. He is often described as a "sweetheart" due to how kind he is to other people.

Most of all, Goo wishes to bring joy to his fellow contestants. He does this with his best friend Bot, and they call themselves the "Cheer Factory." Goo sometimes takes this role more seriously than the game itself, and is perfectly content to lose a challenge if it means making someone happy.

Despite his optimism, Goo is prone to anxiety, which he does not conceal well. When things go wrong, he panics and frequently collapses under pressure. Whatever happens, Goo does his best to remain positive and assist his team. He uses pinecones as a stress reliever. In further contrast to his personality, Goo is a very active and strategic player. He uses his friendships to form tight alliances and take control of his environment.

Cabby; Cabby is the winner of Inanimate Insanity Invitational and a supporting character in Inanimate Insanity IV. She is voiced by Casey Landman.

Putting her trust in Test Tube, she was originally eliminated in "Best Served Cold" after a unanimous blindside vote against her, but she was able to rejoin the game in "I Am Chocolate!", after staying on Indefinite Island. She competed for herself in the merge before the finals, where her showcase of strategy, loyalty, and redemption within the game won her said game in a 7-6-2 vote by the jury, beating out fellow finalists Balloon and Silver Spoon.

As of "The Future Is Today!", she is a co-leader of Inanimate Island, alongside the other winners, OJ and Suitcase. Cabby is a periwinkle file cabinet. Her body is a large vertical rectangle with two drawers on her front. Her face appears on the upper drawer and her arms at her side. Cabby's bottom drawer can open, containing files that she can remove. It is unknown if her top drawer can also open. Rather than having legs, Cabby has four small wheels at the bottom of her body, which she uses to roll. Cabby is someone who puts an incredible amount of effort into everything she does. Her very first lines on the show indicate to the audience and the rest of the cast her intelligence, meticulousness, and desire to leave a strong first impression.

Cabby is a very diligent and observant person; the majority of the data she keeps in her files on the other contestants comes from her observations. In "Stranded in Paradise", she accurately guesses MePhone4 planned to choose teams through randomisation based on documentation she has on his past behaviour. In the same episode, she is the first person to notice Clover's luck.

Cabby's files are very important to her, both as something she needs to remember things, and as her passion for documenting information, which she works very hard on and is confident about. For this reason, though she is generally kind to the others, it upsets her and she tends to retaliate when others take her files without asking or downplay the veracity of her research, as Fan did in "The Shame of the Name" when he admitted to taking her file on him without permission— resulting in their argument and Cabby's decision to convince the rest of The Pinkers to vote him out, and as Test Tube did in "Tragedy at 60 Feet" when she sarcastically rejected Cabby's assertion that based on her research, Clover's luck would be advantageous to them in the challenge. Despite her attachment to her files, however, she will happily allow others to borrow her files if they ask her. She also loves to share her insight if she deems it relevant to the conversation. In "Snapshot Showdown", for example, she is very excited to share the intel she has on The Thinkers to help her team win the challenge, to the point where she doesn't even notice Test Tube's apprehension about asking. In "Home Is Where the Heart Is" it is revealed that Cabby has a form of long-term memory loss for which she uses her files as an aid due to struggling to remember things herself. This is severe enough that in "Spring on the Breakfast!", she admits she is unable to remember whether she has parents and it causes her pain when she tries.

It is possible that Cabby is more confident in her work than she is in herself; when speaking about her work, she tends to separate herself from it and is far more critical of herself than she is of her research. While fretting over the final part of the rejoin challenge in "I Am Chocolate!", she says her "beautiful files" are "wasted on her".

Trust is something that matters a lot to Cabby, and she spends the majority of the competition trying to build trust with others on the show. In her exit interview, she mentions that she decided to vote Fan out because taking her file without asking made him untrustworthy in her eyes. On the other hand, because she wants to "make things right" with Test Tube, she readily shares her contestant files with her, even going so far as to allow Test Tube to "hold onto them" for her. Consequently, she is shocked and devastated when Test Tube breaks that trust, and when reflecting on this in her exit interview, she supposes that if she could do it all again, she "should have just... not trusted". Despite this, however, she continues trying to connect with the other contestants after she rejoins.

When given a chance, Cabby is shown to be very caring towards other people, especially those who are her friends. She wants to understand people, as she says in her exit interview, citing this as her primary reason for keeping files on other people, Cabby spends most of "Pesty Besties" overcompensating for her lack of bonds on the show in an effort to prove Test Tube wrong and win people over. She goes as far as to give her own inani-mate to Yin-Yang, forfeiting any chance to win the challenge herself in an effort to encourage Yin after they lost Sprinkles. Her efforts continue into future episodes— she spends a lot of "Home Is Where the Heart Is" trying to support Paintbrush, finds a way to save both herself and Yin-Yang from being eliminated in "Friend or Froze", and in "Spring on the Breakfast!", she tries to learn more about Bot. In the finale, she fiercely defends Bot upon seeing the Bot clone Springy made of them because she understands and wants to support her friend.

Baseball;

Baseball is a male contestant in Inanimate Insanity. In the first season, Baseball was chosen by Lightbulb to join Team Epic. He competed until "The Arena of Death", where he got eliminated with 3 votes. He placed last overall, as Paper rejoined the competition in "Double Digit Desert".

In Inanimate Insanity II, Baseball was the last contestant chosen to join the competition by the Slot Machine. He was made the leader of The Grand Slams after winning the first challenge alongside Lightbulb. Making it to the merge, Baseball made it to the final 4, where he was eliminated in "Truth or Flare" due to Knife being chosen over him to compete in the finals by Suitcase. He placed 3rd overall. He is a baseball, with a red stitch like pattern on his sides. He is one of the few armless contestants on the show.

Baseball was initially slightly taller than Nickel. He later became larger, and compared to each other, they had closer proportions to their real-life object counterparts by Inanimate Insanity II. His relatively large size is a signature trait of his, as both the tallest (besides Bookcasey) and widest contestant. As Baseball did not get too much screen time in the first season of Inanimate Insanity, there was only little to gather about his earlier personality. Baseball was a usually quiet and intelligent player, only retaining a close friendship with Nickel.

Once Baseball entered Inanimate Insanity II, his personality shifted to a rousing and peppy nature.

After becoming the team captain of The Grand Slams, Baseball adopted a trustworthy, courageous, and leader-like personality. Baseball demonstrates a strong loyal spirit with his team and enjoys being the head of the team. Though Baseball usually decides the overall plan for the team, he was often outspoken by players like Soap or Nickel, who may take charge even if Baseball doesn't give them permission.

Baseball cares deeply about his alliance and commonly puts them ahead of himself. As he was constantly the moral compass of the group, he will shut down any rash decisions made by Nickel. He confronts Suitcase alone and reassures her comfort and position in the alliance after she follows Nickel's orders and faces criticism for losing a challenge.

Baseball was shown to be laid-back, since he didn't care that Knife played with a Dora Doll, stating it was what entertained Knife and kept him sane.

While Baseball usually feels authoritative and confident in his authority, he may panic if faced with a difficult conflict and not be able to handle the situation well. When Suitcase and Nickel begin to fight each other, Baseball becomes nervous and attempts to keep the peace between them, but ultimately lets the conflict lose control.

As the largest contestant, Baseball was a physical powerhouse, exhibiting huge amounts of strength in athletic challenges, particularly those involving legs. However, Baseball has also been shown to be very self-conscious and uncertain about his size. He becomes extremely upset if anyone remarks him as "fat", as he responds by violently kicking Knife into the ocean after he does so.

After Nickel's elimination, Baseball resents Suitcase deeply and has a more cynical, darkened outlook on everything around him, possibly developing paranoia. This was supported as he firmly stated that, he wants to be in an alternate timeline because he finds it meaningless to remain in the current timeline, due to the fact that he thinks "everyone is coming to get him." He also acts rough to Fan, when he calls Baseball a name, he slams the computer onto Fan’s hands.

However, other than indicating paranoia and inflicting harm on a bystander, this quote can highly give insight on how he feels after Suitcase 'betrayed the alliance', which clearly cause him huge distress, as not only did she break the unity of the alliance by eliminating the person closest to him, but she was also in a way important to him and seeing her do all these things and hurting him in the process, must've inflicted a lot of damage to Baseball's emotional state. In "Mine Your Own Business", Baseball seems to shift towards a neutral ground with Suitcase by telling her to never let him hold her back.

Baseball and Suitcase seem to get back on good terms with each other in "Hatching the Plan", Where they have another talk at the dock. Baseball laments on how he wishes there was a way to fix things, with Suitcase telling him it won't just go away and thanking him for trying. Later in the episode, Suitcase is able to convince Baseball to vote for Test Tube after him not trusting Knife's reasoning. At this point, he seems to act a bit closer to how he did around the middle of Season 2, although it was clear he's a bit less trusting of others and was generally a bit more emotional.

MePhone4;

MePhone4 is the retired host and the main protagonist of the Inanimate Insanity series. He served as the protagonist/host of the first three seasons and the main protagonist of Season 2's movie. He is an iPhone4 with a light blue screen. He has an earpiece on the top front and a home button with a square on it on the bottom front. On his back, there's a shiny Meeple logo, a camera, a flashlight and info about where he was made. There is a mute switch, volume buttons and antenna bands on his side. On his top, there's a power button and a headphone jack. On his bottom, there's a charging port, a microphone and a speaker. His outline is gray and his sides are gray. MePhone4 is generally described as an anxious, insecure, yet competitive and upbeat person. He enjoys his job, and relies on the competition for contentment, like when reminded of the show’s inevitable end. When The Floor comments on how fast the game is going by, he is visibly anxious. His reliance on the show is also further proven when its revealed he planned to make a 4th season.[2] He enjoys sugary junk food, most notably cookies, and has such a fondness for eating food that he refers to himself as a "fat slob”. When in good spirits, MePhone4 is very childlike, and can become excited by the drama of a competition. He can be rather provocative, and tends to stir up drama between contestants for his own enjoyment.

MePhone4 generally shows little regard for the contestants' well being, mainly being prevalent in early season 2.[3] Though his negligence plays a role in the various problems on the show, it is worth mentioning that he is biased, and appears to like certain contestants less than others, tending to make shrewd comments, alluding to this bias during eliminations. The best examples of this bias is his apparent dislike of Toilet in season 2, and his appreciation of Bot in season 3. This has resulted in the contestants having a negative opinion of him. Despite his assumed disregard for the contestants, he does truly seem to care about them.

MePhone4 has a very "out of sight, out of mind" mentality, and often sweeps his problems under the rug, whether it pertains to the competition or to his past, as he would much rather forget his problems instead of dealing with them head-on. He is shown to go great lengths to avoid confrontation with his past memories of Cobs and Meeple, as he physically removed them from his system.[4] He even briefly considers removing them a second time[5] shortly after he regains his memories.

The contestants' negative opinion of MePhone4 reached its peak during the events of Inanimate Insanity II: The Movie. Following the revelation that they were all generated by him, the contestants all share a mutual resentment of MePhone4, with one of them even calling him "evil".

Mephone4s;

MePhone4S, labeled The Terminator, was a major character in Inanimate Insanity. He became the main antagonist of the season in "Sugar Rush", was the temporary host of the show in "4Seeing The Future", and co-hosted in "The Tile Divide". He was also a tritagonist in the season finale "Journey Through Memory Lane". After the season finale, he made several more appearances in following seasons. MePhone4S appears almost visually similar to MePhone4, his predecessor. He is a black rectangular phone with a silver casing surrounding his sides. On one side, he has two volume buttons and a ringer switch, and on his top is a power button. He has a large screen on his front which has a red glowing wallpaper with a pair of square-shaped sunglasses. He has two cameras, one on his front and back, as well as a receiver above his screen, and a home button below it. On his back is a large white Meeple logo. MePhone4S first appeared on the show as a major threat to MePhone4, his main objective was to terminate him and replace him. However, once 4S returned, he had a safer and more caring attitude towards MePhone4, his mission changing to protect MePhone4 from the upcoming MePhone5. MePhone4S's original attitude was harsh and savage, showing he enjoyed the death and suffering of contestants. His return first did display this personality but changed once the real topic of MePhone5 came into play, he became very protective and disregarded his previous harsh attitude, showing how he still cares for MePhone4 and others.

Bomb;

Bomb is a male contestant on Inanimate Insanity.

Chosen to be on Team Chickenleg, Bomb was an initial member of the Chickenleg Alliance with OJ and Balloon. He remained loyal until a disagreement with OJ caused him to betray him to win a challenge. Consequently, Bomb was eliminated in "Crappy Anniversary" with 103 votes.

Though not chosen to compete in Inanimate Insanity II, he appeared as a supporting character in a few episodes. He is a fuse bomb. He is similar to a cartoon depiction of a mortar bomb or case shot. He has a maroon colored fuse. In Inanimate Insanity IV, Bomb's fuse was replaced with a dark pink braid tied with a yellow band. Although frequently misjudged by others, Bomb is considerate and compassionate, naturally gravitating to assisting or uplifting others with his abilities. Until his distancing from OJ in "Double Digit Desert," Bomb is consistently loyal and helpful to his alliance, often being the pivotal moment in winning their challenges. Despite being a weapon, Bomb also appears to distance himself from unnecessary violence or aggression, preferring to "verbally threaten" a barrier in the same episode. Similarly, Bomb is notably very conscious of his explosive capabilities. He typically only activates his fuse in controlled environments when it is to the merit of other people or as a challenge strategy, as in the case of "The Crappy Cliff (Remastered)'s" epilogue and "One-Shot Wonder (Remastered)."

Bomb has a speech disorder, causing him to stutter frequently. Bomb's stutter has been shown to be a source of judgment and disdain from other characters.

Despite generally being easygoing, Bomb has also repeatedly been shown to be quick-witted and snarky. In "One-Shot Wonder (Remastered)," Bomb teasingly holds a lighter to his fuse to threaten Balloon into treating him like an equal. Later, he smugly quips back to MePhone4 wordplay on his team's name before crucially launching his team over the gorge. When OJ rhetorically asks if Bomb "had caused him enough pain" from his earlier betrayal in "The Penultimate Poll," Bomb sassily replies "no." During the attack on Hotel OJ in "Through No Choice of Your Own", Bomb manages to lead Cheesy into an unexpected pun, causing the latter to fall to his knees.

Correspondingly, Bomb is at times blunt and self-serving. In "The Stacker (Remastered)," Bomb quickly steals Pepper's golf ball stack to grant Balloon immunity. Largely looked down upon by other characters, Bomb also does not take well to being openly degraded or belittled. His betrayal of OJ in "Double Digit Desert" ultimately comes as a result of OJ being impatient and condescending towards Bomb throughout the challenge, eventually culminating in Bomb shoving and killing OJ after the latter indirectly called Bomb unintelligent.

Bomb has also been shown to be at times socially unconventional. Particularly in later episodes of Inanimate Insanity (Season 1) and earlier episodes of Inanimate Insanity II, he often reacts with inappropriate expressions during events, such as smiling with joy when Balloon comes to talk to him and the other Hotel OJ residents in "Everything's A-OJ" or screaming at innocuous events. This is potentially a result of Bomb also having facial incoordination, particularly with his eyes, as they are usually seen facing the opposite direction.

Nonetheless, Bomb cares deeply for his friends and frequently spends time with them. He is shown to have an interest in video games, typically playing them with Pickle. He appears to enjoy giving physical affection (as in "One-Shot Wonder (Remastered)"), but is potentially less receptive to receiving it (given his slow stare at OJ in "The Arena of Death (Remastered)").

Cherries;

Cherries are male competitors in Inanimate Insanity II and Inanimate Insanity IV.

In Inanimate Insanity II, they were placed in The Bright Lights. They were eliminated in "Tri Your Best" with 974 votes, placing 19th overall.

Cherries is currently competing in Inanimate Insanity IV as a member of Thematic Cats.

Cherries are two dark red and round cherries of equal size. At their respective tops, a tall slim green stem extends and forms an angle with two leaves at the top. Cherries are identical twins who share a brain. I.e., they are one being inhabiting two bodies; therefore, they share the same thoughts and knowledge.

Cherries are a bit childish, as although they are usually a kindhearted and compassionate duo, they love pranking and making fun of others. The two can be seen putting on shows and acting immature to draw attention. If angered, Cherries have been seen to be very hostile and cruel as well, as seen in "Marsh on Mars" when they knock Marshmallow to Mars for simply ruining their act, and furthermore, blaming the dilemma on Box. Their childish behavior can happen often as proven in "Fan the Flames", where instances such as throwing a chair and spilling the floor with olive oil to make other people trip and fall can be seen as an annoyance towards the people around them, including their teammates.

However, following their cruel acts, Cherries can be quite remorseful and guilty if they take pranks too far, and will apologize and reluctantly take the blame. They have shifted into more light-hearted jokes in Hotel OJ that they dub as "nice pranks," which result in a positive reaction despite pulling a prank, such as surprising Trophy with a flock of butterflies yet giving him something interesting to photograph.

Action wise, one of the twins will speak as the other might after the other to complete a sentence. Occasionally, one will pantomime (act out/show emotions) while the other talks. As shown in "Fan the Flames," it is possible for both twins to utilize their voices at the same time. Cherries have also shown to be very experienced and adept mask crafters, creating masks of various characters.
