Contest For Millions of Thousands or Испытание На Миллион Тысяч (CFMOT or ИНМТ for short) is a Russian Object Show created by Zack Main on 14 December 2018.

CFMOT is known to be one of very few object shows made in a foreign language and also for its unique art style.

It can be found on the official playlist however, the episodes didn't have English subtitles until episode 5.(However, they will have subtitles added in reboot episodes.)

The show contains the following tropes:

  • A Dog Named "Dog": Even in a foreign language, this still applies.
  • A Lizard Named "Liz": Object shows can't get enough of these "-y" suffix names...note  although some of them break from tradition like Kurasan, Lightbolb, Nansensu and Spraysh.
  • Animate Inanimate Object: Must we really go through this? For some reason, this world is populated by sentient objects, food and even letters. However, Kratcy can reverse this by turning the contestant into non-anthropomorphic, correctly proportional-sized objects once eliminated.
  • Anthropomorphic Food: Kurasan and Yigroish Bottle are this, the former being a croissant and the latter filled with Yigroish, a type of alcohol that only exists in-universe.
  • Anthropomorphic Typography: Not English but Russian alphabet letters Kratcy (Й) and Yoshka (Ë).
  • Armless Biped: A quadruple whammy - Chargery, Charmy, Cuppy and Clewy. Socka and Nansensu are inversions, having arms but no legs, though they don't have trouble moving around because of this.
  • Audience Participation: The viewers can vote in the comments and currently a google poll of who they want to eliminate.
  • Foreshadowing: Throughout the first seven episodes, Lightbolb becomes redder and more manic in every appearance which is quite noticeable since she was initially bright blue in colour and just cheerful. Viewers brushed it off because Object Shows tend to change character designs without warning but it was made clear that any new designs in CFMOT were a result of Kratcy transforming their bodies which Lightbolb didn't take part in. As revealed in "Look Who's Back!!", she was infected by a red tumour which slowly made her psychopathic and on the verge of death.
  • Instrumental Theme Tune: The intro music is an edited instrumental version of Lollipop by the Europop music group Aqua.
  • Stock Audio Clip: A go-to sound when the cast expresses excitement is a collective "Wow!".
  • Shout-Out: The show seems to draw inspiration from Battle For BFB, where its host, Kratcy is similar to Four as they're both Jerkass hosts who can warp reality and both have nice co-hosts.
