Fan's Fantastic Features is a spin-off variety Object Show from Inanimate Insanity which premiered on 26 September 2020.
It features Fan and Test Tube, as the host and cinematographer respectively, interviewing the eliminated contestants from the first two seasons while hijinks ensure.
The interviews can be accessed through this official playlist
.
The show features the following tropes:
- A Day in the Limelight: All of the eliminated contestants from season 1 and 2 have a chance to shine in their respective episodes on the show.
- Added Alliterative Appeal: The title alliterates on the letter F for its host, Fan.
- Always Someone Better: In episode 3, Nickel meets Dime, who is worth more and more loved by members of the talk show. Nickel says he wouldn't wish this on anyone else, but he himself is worth more than Coiny, a penny.
- Animate Inanimate Object: All of the characters are inanimate objects, just like in their source material.
- Animation Bump: Inverted. The animation is far less detailed as to be easier to make. The characters' mouths in particular don't move with their speech. This is justified in the first episode as it shows the camera falling off the tripod, explaining the lack of fluid animation.
- The Bus Came Back: Eliminated contestants get to shine in this series.
- The Cameo: Coiny, voiced by Michael Huang, shows up briefly in episode 3 after Nickel says he wouldn't wish for anyone else to have a knock-off who's worth more.
- Golden Snitch: Inverted in episode 2. Box wins the physical challenge, but it only counts for half a point. The other team has a whopping two-thousand-point total.
- Inanimate Competitor: Subverted with Box. It's just a box, but it inexplicably manages to win the physical challenge.
- Lighter and Softer: This show is definitely a lot more comical and heartwarming in some places in comparison to the currently Darker and Edgier season 2 of Inanimate Insanity.
- Only Sane Man: Trophy is unamused that everyone seems to think Box is a living being. It turns out Toilet Paper also shares the sentiment.
- Spin-Off: A Talk Show featuring eliminated contestants of Inanimate Insanity.
- Talk Show: Fan interviews eliminated contestants while Test Tube holds the camera. Episode 2 is a "game show edition".
- Took a Level in Jerkass: Tissues is bit more sassy and smug here then he is in the Inanimate Insanity series proper, but it can be justified as Trophy is his roommate at Hotel OJ and Trophy's negative influence might have rubbed off on him, that, and it's heavily implied that he is tired of his "condishawn" up until that point. But, this is largely downplayed because of Tissues apologizes for his insensitive remarks and just wants a friend.
