Inanimate Insanity is an American media franchise centered on an enponymous online animated reality web series created by Adam Katz and directed by Katz, Brian Koch, Justin Chapman, and formerly Taylor Grodin for the former's YouTube channel AnimationEpic. The franchise has its roots from the web series of the same name which centers around a group of anthropomorphic objects that compete for 1 million dollars, led by the host, MePhone4. The anthropomorphic objects were inspired by jacknjellify's Battle for Dream Island. The series premiered on April 1, 2011, and is currently airing on its second season.

Outside of the web episodes, the series has expanded into animated shorts, webcomics, several soundtrack albums, and merchandise (such as T-shirts, mugs, phone cases, and plushies).

Format

As the show revolves around a competition, the format of Inanimate Insanity follows the contestants' gameplay each season. The group of contestants are initially split into teams that compete against one another. Each episode, a challenge is introduced to the contestants by the host to determine a singular winner, whether it be one contestant or an entire team, to win immunity for that round. The contestants, or team, that does not win the challenge is put up for elimination, which is either decided by viewers of the series through viewer voting, or the contestants themselves. The player who receives the most votes is eliminated and kicked out of the competition, rarely given the chance to rejoin.

Eventually the teams dissolve, known as the "Merge", and each contestant fights for themselves, though alliances can be formed. Strategic gameplay along with positive relationships are highly sought after in the competition, and lack thereof may result in elimination.

The two contestants who outlasts the others and avoid elimination are entered into the finale, who go head to head in a final challenge to win the grand prize.

Seasons

There are currently three seasons in the Inanimate Insanity series.

The series' first season, entitled Inanimate Insanity, or II, premiered on April 1, 2011 on AnimationEpic, where all future seasons and content would remain. The series tells a story about MePhone4, a sentient smartphone, who spontaneously creates a competition between sixteen, later eighteen, anthropomorphic objects, who compete against each other in various challenges for a grand prize of one million dollars.

The series' second season, entitled Inanimate Insanity II, or II II, premiered on April 2, 2013, two years and one day after the first season. The second season continues the same story from the first season of MePhone4 once again creating a competition between nineteen, later twenty, anthropomorphic objects, who compete against each other for another million dollars. The story, while following the same template as the first season, branches off into more developed storylines with characters and intensive themes. Additionally, an alternate season exists in the episode "Alternate Reality Show" called Inanimate Insanity Infinity, which takes place in an alternate timeline of Inanimate Insanity II.

The series' third season, entitled Inanimate Insanity Invitational, or III, premiered on April 3, 2021, eight years and one day after the second season, and ten years and two days after the first season. The third season runs simultaneous to the second season, though it tells a new separate story is stated to have no affect on the second season's story.
