It's all circles, expect nothing more.note
Battle for Circle is a 2018 joke show created by Cheesy Hfj
, who eventually created the Object Show ONE. almost two years later. Debuting on November 25th, 2018, the whole show is...circles. Circles everywhere. Taking place within a Blank White Void, the entire cast is comprised of circles (one of them has a mole) and the prize is a circle...yes, circles are everywhere on this show.
Well-rounded episodes can be found on the official playlist.
Circle tropes
- A Dog Named "Dog": Every circle here is named Circle, except the one with the mole, where instead he's called, get this...Circle with a Mole.
- Blank White Void: Complementing the simplistic and Stylistic Suck nature of the show.
- Character Catchphrase: "Aw, shucks!" to those who are eliminated.
- Company Cross References: Doubles as a Brick Joke. Circle With a Mole runs off from the other circles in one episode, and vanishes off-screen. Who knew that a year or so later we would find him in the grounds of ONE., Cheesy's later work?
- Cult Defector: The competition is like a cult within the sense of nobody having individuality or identity (because everyone looks and is named exactly the same), following what the host circle tells them to do without question and low-key dismissing/rejecting others if they express differently. This is what Circle with a Mole became by refusing to be eliminated and ran away, never to be seen again.
- Department of Redundancy Department: Get ready to hear "circle" a lot as you watch through this series.
- Extra-Long Episode: In a series where most episodes are one to two minutes (and the shortest is 22 seconds!), BFC 14: Circle is eight minutes and thirty-seven seconds. It's the finale, though, so it makes sense.
- Living Polyhedron: That's a lotta anthropomorphic circles...
- Non-Standard Character Design: One of the circles has a mole near his right eye as pointed out in "BFC 7: Circle" then later animated more fluidly in "BFC 11: Circle".
- Only Sane Man: Circle with a Mole who, after gaining his mole, questions the Insane Troll Logic on the show and refuses to follow the other single-minded Circles.
- One-Steve Limit: Averted since everyone is named Circle, making it incredibly confusing and pointless to tell who's who. It's only until Circle with a Mole breaks the pattern.
- Short-Runner: Aired for only 14 episode with no follow-up seasons. That's a joke show for ya.
- Strictly Formula: The episodes barely change up the plot, it always starts with the elimination, then the challenge which there's only one unique challenge per episode then voting, then that's it.
- Stylistic Suck: The visual style of nearly the entire show is just bare, minimalistic shapes in black and white. Mostly circles, of course.
