About

Inanimate Insanity (also known as II) is an animated competition series on YouTube, created by Adam Katz. It premiered on April 1st, 2011, however, due to hacking situations, Episodes 1 to 5.5 appear with September 14th as their release date, though this is incorrect[1]. The show is about 16 anthropomorphic objects that compete for 1 Million Dollars. The show is a spinoff of YouTube show Battle For Dream Island, the 2007 Cartoon Network series, Total Drama and reality show Survivor.

History

After inspired by Battle For Dream Island, Adam Katz, a 14 year old New York resident, decided to create an animation using Anime Studio with characters similar to those from BFDI.

The video for the show was labeled, "The Stupid Trailer", where Adam Katz (known as DuncanEpic on YouTube), noted in the description that "This series does not have any storyline yet, so don't ask me when it's coming out, I have a lot of work to do. I'm thinking a gameshow like BFDI and TDI, or maybe just a stupid comedy skit show."[2] Eventually, Katz used this animation to make the spinoff, and the first episode premiered on April 1st, 2011.

The first episode of Inanimate Insanity was labeled, "The Crappy Cliff", and had contestants following a similar task to Total Drama Island's first episode, jumping off a cliff. The episode also featured Christian Potenza, the voice of Chris McClean, the host of Total Drama, as the voice of MePhone4, the host of Inanimate Insanity. Potenza, however, was replaced with Mark Katz, Adam Katz's father, after he never sent in lines for the second episode. Katz proceeded to make several more episodes of Inanimate Insanity, each of them coming out usually on the first of each month. Adam Katz was progressively joined by his friends, Taylor Grodin, Brian Koch and Justin Chapman, who helped him create future episodes. The series continued on with 18 episodes, progressively becoming better in terms of animation and voice acting. The 18th and final episode released on December 7th, 2012.

Reception

The small fan-base that followed Battle For Dream Island had mixed reactions to Inanimate Insanity initially. While many praised Adam Katz in making his own object show, others scorned him for copying BFDI. Regardless of the negative reactions, Katz continued to make Inanimate Insanity, which gradually improved in each episode. The

Characters

The characters are all inanimate objects, though anthropomorphized (excluding one). The objects range from a baseball, a lightbulb, and a glass of orange juice, to a microphone, a suitcase and a toilet. Their names are simply what object they are, for instance, Paper is a piece of paper, and Knife is a knife. Each character has their own signature personality, most of the time that reflects what object they are. For example, Test Tube is a science fanatic, Soap is a neat freak and Tissues is always sick.

In every episode, there is a competition in which the contestants will have to compete in with their teams. The losing team will face the consequences and have to eliminate a teammate. After some time, the teams will be broken up and every contestant fights for themselves.

Inanimate Insanity II

The show's second season, Inanimate Insanity II, was released on April 2, 2013, which was the same month Inanimate Insanity, the predecessor, began. Just like last season, the show is an animated competition series on YouTube. The season began with 19 anthropomorphic objects, and later 20 competing for yet another 1 million dollars.
