Object Knockout is an Object Show Spin-Off of Objects Around the World by Lukeman 141
, specifically to fill in time between the latter's episodes. Episode 1A was released on 11th October 2021.
While waiting for the main cast to finish with their challenges and being interested in the show, Octopus Hanger, the airplane pilot for OATW, decided to host a competition show of his own alongside his co-pilot, Ctrl Z. He then enlisted seven objects to be the contestants as they tackle challenges high in the sky.
The show contains the following tropes:
- A Dog Named "Dog": Such an original idea for an object show to have the characters be named after their object.
- Animate Inanimate Object: It's Fight in Flight all over again but with a different cast of living, breathing objects.
- Anthropomorphic Food: You are in for a treat with Marshy, Marsho (Both marshmallows) and Fortune Cookie (Self-explanatory).
- Armless Biped: Marshy, Marsho, Octopus Hanger and Snail Shell are the obligatory armless people in such shows.
- Ascended Extra: Octopus Hanger and Ctrl-Z were just the pilots chaffering the cast in the main show but get to be the hosts of their own show here.
- Chute Sabotage: To make the skydiving challenge interesting, two of seven issued parachutes had been tampered with so the contestants must choose wisely if they wish to avoid a 30,000 ft. drop to their death.
- Color-Coded Speech: The dialogue text for each character has a unique colour.
- Octopus Hanger - Gray
- Ctrl-Z - Black
- Fortune Cookie - Light brown
- Marshy - Light Blue
- Marsho - Orange
- Screwdriver - Purple
- Snail Shell - Brown
- Star Bottle - Hunter Green
- Stim - Chartreuse Green
- Toxic Bucket - Neon Green
- Hollywood Skydiving: The first challenge has the contestants jumping off the plane in order to land on a target. However, the catch is that two of the seven parachutes cannot open upon deployment.
- Mime and Music-Only Cartoon: Object Knockout is a PowerPoint object show, meaning the only thing you hear from the show is the Undertale and Deltarune soundtrack while dialogue is spoken through colour-coded text appearing onscreen.
- Minimalist Cast: At two hosts, seven contestants and zero recommended characters.
- Multi-Part Episode: The first episode had to be split into two parts with the first half introducing the contestants and forming the teams while the second half commences the challenge.
- Recycled Soundtrack: The entire show's soundtrack is composed of Undertale and Deltarune music on account of Lukeman's love for it.
- Spin-Off: Of Objects Around the World where it focuses on co-pilots Octopus Hanger and Ctrl-Z hosting another competition in their airplane (Similar to Fight in Flight's concept). The show, as stated in the first episode, only exists to fill in time between episodes of the main series.
- Two Girls to a Team: Like its main series, Object Knockout only has two females (Marshy and Fortune Cookie) in the cast.
- The Voiceless: Due to being a Mime and Music-Only Cartoon, none of the contestants have voice actors and everybody conversates using textboxes with the exception of Octopus Hanger at the beginning.
