* OnlySaneMan: Folder seems to be the only one questioning the nature of ''This Show'' with Billy absentmindedly carries on in glee and The Host deliberately structuring the competition to be as formulaic as possible. It was for this reason why Folder slowly grew enraged to the point of quitting the show than competing in another episode any longer.

''This Show'' is a web-animated {{Object Show|s}} mini-series created by [[https://www.youtube.com/@Kirb08Mrls/featured Krib08]] with all of its episodes released on the same date of 4th June 2023.
It's an exciting new competition starring the host, a glowing [[FacelessEye floating eyeball]], and their three contestants the lovable Billy, NiceGirl Folder and foul-mouthed Potty. After an exciting challenge in which Billy wins, Potty is eliminated and then the host introduces another contestant to the competition to replace him. Billy wins again but the host replaces the recently eliminated debuter with another. And then Billy wins and the newest contestant is eliminated but the host replaces them with--
Okay, [[StrictlyFormula there's starting to be a pattern here]]...
The whole twelve episodes and compilation can be viewed on the [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhIuz6tBNMOTXmeUkoMe2Wxnk7d-0iyGd official playlist]].
!!Contains the following tropes:
* TheAce: Billy wins all the challenges except for the episode where Zero debuted but that was immediately {{Retcon}} so he wins anyway and ends up winning the whole series in the finale. It's implied Billy is the host's favorite due to the aforementioned instance which suggests they want to prevent him from being put up for elimination at all costs.
* ADogNamedDog: Everyone is named directly after their object with the notable exceptions of [[ALizardNamedLiz Billy, Potty,]] [[NoNameGiven the host and Oh]].
* ALizardNamedLiz: Potty and Billy have the oh-so-common "-y" suffix attached to their [[AdogNamedDog species]] (Pot and Bill) with the former doubling as an actual human name.
* AnimateInanimateObject: The cast are all anthropomorphic objects of some kind except the host (A [[FacelessEye floating eyeball]]) and Oh (whatever that is).
* AnthropomorphicFood: Orange Juice is the only food-based contestant in the series as they are ([[ADogNamedDog Unsurprisingly]]) a sentient glass of orange juice.
* ArmlessBiped: The GameShowHost and Tennis Ball are limbless as they are stylized as a [[FacelessEye floating eyeball]] and InanimateCompetitor respectively, Quarter is an inversion and 8 of the 2/8 twins is the only straight example.
* {{Bookends}}: The first and last challenge involves spinning around which Billy gladly does so since he loves spinning.
* ColorCodedSpeech: As ''This Show'' has no voice-acting, the dialogue "spoken" is through the trope. The host is a glowing white, Folder is marigold, Billy is green and the rest are varying colours.[[note]]brown (Potty, Peanut and Xylophone), orange (Orange Juice), red (2), greenish-yellow (Tennis Ball), dark grey (Quarter) and black (Zero)[[/note]]
* DebutQueue: After Potty's elimination, the host developed a habit of introducing a seemingly endless stream of newcomers[[note]]Xylophone, Orange Juice, Peanut, 2/8, Cone, Slightly Smaller Cone, Tennis Ball, Quarter, Zero, Oh and Toothbrush[[/note]] that are [[WeHardlyKnewYe gone by the next episode]], extending the competition longer than it should have. It's implied they only did that to further {{gaslight|ing}} Folder with the [[StrictlyFormula strict format]] of the show.
* {{Expy}}: The fourth episode's debuter is Peanut a short excitable fellow which made Folder immediately thought of Billy. Billy himself didn't like this "ripoff" straightaway and won the challenge quicker than usual just to get rid of him.
* FacelessEye: The host is a glowing floating eyeball.
* FakeInteractivity: At the end of every episode, there will be a [[AudienceParticipation viewer voting screen]] to eliminate either Folder or one of the episode's debuter like any {{Object Show|s}}. However, since the episodes are released simultaneously on the same day, the viewers have no say on who goes as it's ultimately the host's decision. Folder lampshaded at one point if they even received any votes.
* FlatCharacter: The debuters either have a gimmick or do absolutely nothing, but most likely the latter, and even so the host will eliminate them the following episode before they could do anything of note.
* FlatWhat: Quarter's first line upon wondering what is Folder talking about when she said they are going to be eliminated next episode. They later find out her "prediction" is correct.
* FlipTheBird: Potty often pulls the middle finger for no reason other than being [[{{Jerkass}} mean]].
* FormulaBreakingEpisode: Attempted in episode ten where Folder wanted to cross the line and win the challenge instead of Billy but Zero beat her to it. However, the show immediately [[{{Retcon}} corrects itself]] so it was AllJustADream for Folder and Zero was eliminated without fail.
* GameShowHost: The glowing floating eye acts as one who wants to run their show as long as possible with debuters to slowly drive Folder insane.
* {{Gaslighting}}: It's implied the host has been deliberately introducing new contestants to prolong the competition and keeping the episodes as [[StrictlyFormula rigid]] as possible just to make Folder reach her RageBreakingPoint for their own amusement. When she confronts them about it the host replies "What are you talking about lol" and after she [[RageQuit angrily]] [[NonGameplayElimination quit]] to get away from ''This Show'', they cheekily said to themself "Little did she know, that was the last joiner" and proceeded to do the finale without her.
* HateAtFirstSight: Peanut is the only contestant Billy is not friendly to off the bat as he believes them to be a "[[{{Expy}} rip-off]]" of them. As such, Billy thus wins the challenge faster than usual to get Peanut eliminated.
* {{Jerkass}}: Potty invokes the mean character stereotype that the viewers vote off first by spending most of his runtime swearing or flipping others off.
* {{Keet}}: Billy is perpetually excited throughout the show and gives it his all in challenges. This also made him not mind the off-putting competition format that slowly enraged [[TookALevelInCynic Folder]] since he [[TheAce wins all the challenges]] regardless.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Billy never notices anything off about the [[StrictlyFormula competition]] like Folder nor is even aware of it since he is more interested in competing and winning challenges. However, Folder doesn't hold anything against them even though he plays a part in continuing the cycle she's stuck in.
* MasculineFeminineAndrogyneTrio: The main three characters with Folder being the Feminine (As seen with her having the only object with prominent eyelashes), Billy as the Masculine (If his male-derived name is any indication) and the host is the Androgyne (An ethereal [[FacelessEye floating eyeball]] that doesn't go by any pronouns).
* MeaningfulName: Potty is the only one to [[PrecisionFStrike swear]] and FlipTheBird on ''This Show'' so guess you can say they are ''potty''-mouthed in nature.
* MinimalistCast: The way the show was formatted made sure only four objects are present at the same time with the host, Folder and Billy as recurring characters while the third contestant always rotates every episode.
* MonochromaticEyes: Zero has white eyes since they have a darker asset which would be harder to see with BlackBeadEyes.
* NaiveNewcomer: Some of the debuters such as Orange Juice have no idea what is going on because it's implied the host had kidnapped from their homes.
* NoNameGiven: The host and Oh have no official names as the former skipped out on their introduction at the beginning while the host had no idea what the latter is which led to their exclamation of "Oh".
* OddNameOut: Billy is the only human name on the show with everyone else following ADogNamedDog and ALizardNamedLiz (Albeit it is derived from the latter's naming scheme) or goes [[NoNameGiven nameless]] (The host and Oh).
* ShortRunner: ''This Show'' consists of twelve episodes released back-to-back on the same day and has a total runtime of less than five minutes. [=Krib08=] stated made the entire series in the span of five hours.
* ShoutOut: Episode 7's challenge is "To know" which Billy says Pencil's first line verbatim from the first episode of ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland''.
* TookALevelInCynic: Folder becomes less of her former cheery self from the first episode as the episodes go on due to her growing resentment and exasperation of ''This Show'' and the host. She isn't happy for the newcomers anymore, bluntly telling Quarter outright that they'll be eliminated next episode no matter what, and finally takes out her anger on the host in the finale.
* WholePlotReference: To Creepingston's "Battle for Awesome Burger " but more cohesive and [[StrictlyFormula formula-adhering]]. It also had a dollar bill as one of the main characters though he is not the one questioning reality this time around.
