Inanimate Insanity is an American animated competition web series on YouTube. The show is about 16 anthropomorphic objects that compete for 1 Million Dollars. The show is inspired by another animated competition web series called Battle for Dream Island. 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.
The series came to a hault on June 1st, 2012 for a summer hiatus, but returned on September 1st, 2012. The final episode was released on December 8th, 2012. A second season of the series aired on April 2nd, 2013, featuring eight original returning contestants and twelve new contestants.

- OJ ****
- Paintbrush

Every Season 1 contestants and MePhone
Note
*Means they're armless.
**Means they were recommended and joined the show.
***Means they joined late.
**** Means that they didn't join Season 2 (including Bow).
- ↑ The only time Pickle was armless was The Stupid Trailer so this was before Inanimate Insanity came out.
Competition
