Obama's Hidden Info Objects (OHIO) is a joke Object Show webcomic created by TaxeAndStuff
on 26th April 2021. It's currently on its sixth season and has a total of 46 issues.
From the top, there's a bunch of Animate Inanimate Objects in a Blank White Void when suddenly a Game Show Host arrives barring the gift of Obama's last name. She would not give this to anyone unless they duke it out in her competition show where only one can reign victorious.
Taxe later adapted the comic into a web-animated series of the same name on their YouTube channel
The webcomic's first page and archive can be viewed on Taxe's ComicFury profile.
Contains the following tropes:
- A Dog Named "Dog": More like An Object Named "Object".
- All for Nothing: Contestants who were part of OHIO's fifth season with Evil Default Discord Profile Picture as The Host, especially those who defected from the fourth season, ended up this way since Evil DDPP take back the powers he promised as the grand prize barely two seconds after the winner received it.
- Animate Inanimate Object: All the the cast is an anthropomorphic object of some sort (although that doesn't explain why Boyfriend FNF is there).
- Anthropomorphic Typography: The funny numbers 420 and later 69 who are both are siblings and contestants on the show.
- Armless Biped: 420, Street Sign and Sweater are straight examples. Hand Sanitizer and Speed Bass Dog are an inversion and limbless variants respectively.
- Artifact Title: The last two seasons don't have Obama's last name as the prize, which is basically the entire purpose of the competition, and are Evil DDPP's powers and a million dollars instead.
- Blank White Void: Surrounding the cast is a vast space devoid of everything except the colour white.
- British Brevity: After season 2, each season ends after nine one-page issues (With seasons 1 and 2 having eight). Something which Taxe themself lampshaded with the season 5 finale's title "Why Do All My Shows End On Episode 9?".
- Evil Counterpart: Evil Default Discord Profile Picture, a copy of Default Discord Profile Picture but evil (Pretty self-explanatory), appears out of nowhere at the beginning of OHIO x2 Again to wreak havoc, only for the cast to get rid of him. While in jail, he suddenly gets empowered which turns his eyes red and of course, uses these powers for evil.
- Fun with Acronyms: The show title's acronym spells out the 17th state of the United States of America.
- Game Show Host: There has been three in OHIO's competition history: Record Case hosts the first four seasons, Evil Default Discord Profile Picture did his own Spin-Off in tandem with OHIO All-Stars and a weird triangle-shaped alien hosting the final season.
- Hurl It into the Sun: How Record Case eliminates the contestants (and Profily) in season 1.
- New Season, New Name: The rest of the seasons after the first were titled "OHIO [Insert Subtitle]"note
- Official Couple: Pan Flag and Wii U whose alliance paved way for a relationship and have been a close, lovey-dovey couple ever since.
- Shout-Out:
- The grand prize and the show's title reference the Obama's last name meme.
- There was an Among Us-esque challenge for two separate seasons.
- One of the challenges for The Power Of Evil! was to consumed Takis snack.
- Some issues have titles like "Nice ONE., Viewers", "Scooby Dooby Doo, Where Are You?" and "Hey Now, You’re an All-Star".
- The grand prize and the show's title reference the Obama's last name
- Slap-Slap-Kiss: In OHIO x 2's "A While", the challenge is to eat a burger in which the last one to do so is automatically eliminated. Pan Flag and Wii U instead started arguing incessantly for no reason and by the time they're done, only two burgers are left. Pan Flag, feeling terrible, lets Wii U have the second-to-last burger since "[they] deserve it more". This led to the two sparking romantic interest in one another, blushing real hard and sharing a hug before Pan Flag's elimination.
- Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: You can distinguish between the females and the males and non-binaries by their presence of eyelashes. 420 was identified as a girl this way when she pulled down her Cool Shades revealing her eyes.
- The Unreveal: Parodied. We don't get to see or hear what's inside the file for Obama's last name when the season's winner opened it but it's obviously a joke as Obama is his last name.
