"Well u are in-luck because it's Starting right................. NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Epic Object Battle, stylized as epic object battle, was an Object Show created by T Aebli in 2013. From what little of the plot is available, Crowny asks Wii Remote to start an "object battle", to which he obliges. Both episodes can be viewed here and here.

epic object battle contains examples of:

  • Advertised Extra: Many of the characters (Plank, Hammer, Speech Bubble) that appear in the intro barely make an appearance in the show proper.
  • A Dog Named "Dog": Pretty much all of the contestants are named after their object, including the host.
  • A Lizard Named "Liz": Two contestants are named "Crowny" and "Sticky" respectively, with a "-y" at the ends of their names.
  • All for Nothing: Meta-example. Given that the series ends before voting can commence, the entire competition and the entire series to an extent being ultimately pointless, as nothing is resolved or properly concluded. Though, given the fact no prize was ever mentioned, it's likely that it would apply in-universe as well, as the contestants would battle for a prize that ultimately doesn't exist.
  • Animate Inanimate Object: Pretty much expected for an object show.
  • Armless Biped: Plank, though given he's a copy of Spongy in terms of appearance, it's not surprising.
  • Audience Participation: Attempted by the second episode, though due to the series being cancelled, it's ultimately subverted.
  • Cut Short: The series ends after the second episode, and due to the original creator disappearing, it's very likely that the series is never going to be finished.
  • Expy: Brick, as what can be shown from the intro, appears to be one to Spongy from the original Battle for Dream Island.
  • Flat Character: Given what little personality is given to each character, it's not entirely surprising that most, if not all, of the cast is composed of flat characters.
  • In Medias Res: Surprisingly enough for an object show like this, the second episode presumably starts like this, with Crowny and Cloud picking their teams before cutting back to Wii Remote hosting the elimination voting section.
  • Instrumental Theme Tune: The show uses "Cut and Run" by Kevin Macleod for its intro, which features no lyrics.
  • Limited Animation: With the show being made in Microsoft PowerPoint, many of the characters have little to no animation.
  • Makes Just as Much Sense in Context: It could be argued the series is this, as many scenes that appear in the show make very little sense in what little context there is.
  • Minimalist Cast: Possibly accidental, but due to many of the characters not appearing in the show proper, the cast is reduced to only four actual contestants.
  • Off-the-Shelf FX: Many of the effects in the show are taken directly from PowerPoint, including many of the contestants, who are a speech bubble and arrow respectively.
  • Orphaned Series: Likely due to either disinterest or other external factors, the series was left unfinished at only two episodes.
  • Only Sane Man: In what very little appearances Arrow makes, he seems to be this given that he asks what the first challenge is when everyone else seems to go along with whatever is happening in the show. Though, how intentional this is seems to be up in the air.
  • Rouge Angles of Satin: Pretty much the entire show, though a few examples stand out.
    • After Arrow asks what the next "callange" is, Wii Remote responds that it is to "clim a ladder".
    • Wii Remote calling Crowny's team for "eliminashon".
    • Even the intro isn't safe from typos, as the intro song (Cut and Run) is credited to "keven macleod".
  • Short-Runner: The show only lasted for two episodes before presumably being cancelled.
  • Shout-Out: The host themselves is a Wii Remote, Board is an obvious copy of Spongy from Battle for Dream Island.
