Victory Will Be Mine (VWBM) is a web-animated Object Show made by ColeTheGeek
note and released on 10th July 2021.
In unknown grassy fields, a Game Show Host (Boomerang) prepares for his competition show. He's got the challenges set up, he's got the grand prizenote , so all Boomerang needs now is the contestants who just so happens to be waiting for him and require transportation via his nifty teleporter.
As luck would have had it, the teleporter malfunctioned and caused thirteen complete strangers to be abducted from their everyday lives instead of his intended cast. Unfortunately for them, the teleporter was a one-time use and requires three whole months to invent another one. This left the thirteen with no other choice but to participate as Boomerang's replacement contestants for Victory Will Be Mine.
The show also does Eliminated Interviews hosted by ColeTheGeek's OC where fans can ask their burning questions to the recently eliminated contestants after the episodes.

Contains the following tropes:
- A Dog Named "Dog": Lack of originality aside, all characters are named after the objects they resemble.
- Animate Inanimate Object: As if the talking objects with limbs didn't give it away.
- Anthropomorphic: A sentient cake (Vanilla Cake) and drink (Water) are competing in the show.
- Armless Biped: Completely and unexpectedly averted for an object show as not one person is lacking any arms of some sort.
- The Bus Came Back: Every eliminated contestant from the past nine episodes de-thawed from their frozen state in "Puzzling Escapes" to play a part in the finale.
- Demoted to Extra: The original seven contestants who signed up for Victory Will Be Mine become sidelined by the thirteen objects who got mistakenly teleported instead. However, they were promised by Boomerang that they can join next season when they made their way to confront him.
- Human Popsicle: How the contestants are eliminated by becoming frozen statues that wouldn't be thawed out until the semi-finals.
- MacGuffin: The grand prize is a singular page that grants anything of your heart's desire if you write it down (A wish note if you will) and the reason why the contestants are not protesting to be in Boomerang's competition despite their straight-up abduction.
- Sound-Effect Bleep: When a character swears, it'll be bleeped out with a censor bar over their mouth (Even though VWBM is animated without lip-syncing for it to be necessary).
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Boomerang accidentally abducts thirteen strangers and make them compete since he couldn't postpone the show any longer. Even though the cast was over their kidnapping predicament and genuinely wanted the prize, what Boomerang did caused a PR nightmare for the marketing and production team and had to spent several episodes calling them offscreen to sort things out. There's also the issue of the intended contestants who, sure enough, were beyond pissed that they went through the trouble of signing up, getting interviewed and patiently waiting to be teleported on-set, only for complete randos to take their place at the last minute. As such, these seven stormed all the way to the VWBM set to give Boomerang a piece of their mind.
- Take That!: "What an Original Challenge" references the floating platform challenge in Object Shows, usually reserved for the first episode, where contestants must push one another off it into water and be the last one(s) standing. It's as standardized and uninspiring as it sounds.
- Teleporter Accident: Boomerang meant to teleport a pre-determined cast but one wrong click of the button and out came thirteen strangers who were minding their own business to be suddenly dragged into the competition scheme. Aside from that small hiccup, the contest goes as planned.
