History WebAnimation / ONE

* UncommonTime: Several of the songs composed for the show fall under this category; the most extreme case of this is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ich9qZOkU6c Whiskey Lounge]], which uses a time signature of ''13/16''.

''ONE''[[note]][[TheUnreveal Acronym undisclosed]][[/note]] (also referred to informally as "hfjONE") is yet another {{Object Show|s}} created by Cheesy Hfj (the same guy who made the joke show called ''WebAnimation/BattleForCircle'') that premiered on June 11th, 2020 and ended on August 21, 2022. It has a group of objects competing for the chance of a wish for anything their heart desires.

* DownerEnding: The season 1 finale. [[spoiler: Backpack finally gets eliminated, but it was too late for him to be. By the time he was teleported back, the apartment he lived in was put on for lease, meaning he had nowhere to live in. Not only that, but he was missing for so long that he was [[LegallyDead presumed dead]]. Now all he has left is Stone's notes from episode 4, one of them containing Soda Bottle's address.]]

* {{Foil}}: The batches of contestants. They are stuck in the same situation where the host teleports them unexpectedly for his competition show, whether they like it or not, and cannot leave until it is over. While batch one frequently laments the lives they left behind, batch two is used to being treated like objects and are simply excited to have names, and batch three compared to the first two don't even have a really consisten theme due to all 6 looking really [[NonStandardCharacterDesign weird]] to say the least.

[[caption-width-right:350:The group of six[[note]]From far left to right: "Tomato", "Magazine", "Backpack", "Soda Bottle", "Moldy" and "Scenty" (the air quotes indicate that these are not their actual names)[[/note]]. And don't ask about the host...[[BlatantLies he's just air]].[[note]]Not pictured: Abstracty, Atom, Airline Food, Bassy, Circle, Contact Lens, Folder, Stone, Subway Seat, Texty, Tray, and Whippy Creamy[[/note]]]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Done in TheStinger of "Freefall," as it shows a whipped cream container suddenly disappearing from a store shelf. The container turns out to be Whippy Creamy in an EarlyBirdCameo.

** Owen calls Liam "Mr. Worldwide" after the latter tells him he got a job in Australia and why he didn't see him all this time. [[spoiler:In the finale, Liam becomes the new Airy and takes ownership of the Plane, revealed to be a self-contained miniature planet.]]

** Episode 9 is titled [[Music/{{Radiohead}} "Scatterbrain", and the video description says "As dead as leaves.".]] Not only that, but the visuals of the episode line up with the lyrics, and the thumbnail resembles the cover.

* AudienceParticipation: There is a form in each of the season 1 episodes' descriptions, presumably for the viewers to vote on who gets eliminated. [[spoiler:However, it's actually [[ImpliedTrope Implied]], as Stone reveals that the votes are all faked and really it's Airy's (and by extension the creator's) decision to remove players, not the viewers.]]

* CerebusSyndrome: "La Salle D'attente" lets everyone know that things are going to [[SurpriseCreepy turn creepy]].

''ONE''[[note]][[TheUnreveal Acronym undisclosed]][[/note]] is yet another {{Object Show|s}} created by Cheesy Hfj (the same guy who made the joke show called ''WebAnimation/BattleForCircle'') that premiered on June 11th, 2020 and ended on August 21, 2022. It has a group of objects competing for the chance of a wish for anything their heart desires.

The show originally started out with an [[MinimalistCast economy-sized cast]] of six before Airy keep adding more and more contestants every episode until there are 18 players as of current. [[note]]For the sake of simplicity, the contestants that debuted in episode one, those debuted in [[SecondEpisodeIntroduction episode two]], and those in [[DebutQueue episode 3]] are collectively called the first batch, second batch and third batch of contestants respectively[[/note]]

* AnthropomorphicFood: The contestants who are this are Airline Food, Moldy, Tomato and Whippy Creamy.
* AudienceParticipation: There is a form in each of the season 1 episodes' description, presumably for the viewers to vote on who gets eliminated. [[spoiler:However, it's actually [[ImpliedTrope Implied]], as Stone reveals that the votes are all faked and really it's Airy's (and by extension the creator's) decision to remove players, not the viewers.]]

* DownerEnding: The season 1 finale. [[spoiler: Backpack finally gets eliminated, but it was too late for him to be. By the time he was teleported back, the apartment he lived in was put on for lease, meaning he had nowhere to live in. Not only that, but he was missing for so long he was [[LegallyDead presumed dead]]. Now all he has left is Stone's notes from episode 4, one of them containing Soda Bottle's address.]]

** In season 2, [[spoiler: Bryce and Liam]]. The latter has been presumed dead and is devoted to ending Airy's contest for good, while the former wants nothing more than to get back to his life and forget the competition all together.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Done in TheStinger of "Freefall," as it shows a whipped cream container suddenly disappearing from a store shelf. The container turns out to be Whippy Creamy in a EarlyBirdCameo.

* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:The season 2 finale has Airy fall off the plank across the waterfall just as Liam did an episode earlier. Unlike Liam however, he falls onto a steep rock and shatters what's left of his head, rendering him dead and sent back to La Salle D'attente. There's no telling if he'll eventually find his way back to his home, but when Liam comes across his corpse, he walks away [[NoSympathy with nothing but a look of contempt on his face.]]]]

* MinimalistCast: Some ObjectShows have seemingly endless numbers of contestants, but this show originally didn't start out with that many players. It had stood proud at 6 contestants and an invisible host until 6 more joined the roster in episode two.

* {{Objectshifting}}: It's common knowledge for the second-batch contestants to shift into inanimate mode (concealing their faces and limbs), akin to the appliances in ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'', so the humans in their world would remain unaware about their existence.

* LineOfSightName: Basically how Airy named the first two batches of contestants.

** Episode 9 is titled [[{{Music/Radiohead}} "Scatterbrain", and the video description says "As dead as leaves.".]] Not only that, but the visuals of the episode line up with the lyrics, and the thumbnail resembles the cover.

* {{Teleportation}}: The host has this and uses it to abduct the contestants from their lives so he can make them compete in his game show.

* ALizardNamedLiz: Airy, who is already a common example of this trope, has a penchant for giving the contestants [[ADogNamedDog self-explanatory]] names and adding the unnecessary "-y" suffix for some.
** When assigning the first batch of names, Airy gave the scented candle (Amelia) and the moldy bread (Charlotte) contestant the monikers of 'Scenty' and 'Moldy' respectively. They were less than pleased with it.

** The third batch breaks the trend with Abstracty and Texty already having these names before the show instead of Airy naming them.

** [[spoiler:La Salle D'attente, a sort-of afterlife for the dead contestants until Airy respawns them, translates to "The Waiting Room" in French. Doubles as a MeaningfulName.]]
** [[spoiler: Liam's full name, revealed in ONE 9, is Liam Plecak. Plecak is the Polish word for Backpack. Again, this doubles as a MeaningfulName.]]

* DebutQueue: The first three episodes debuts the contestants in batches of six.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Julien (The toothpaste guy), for over the past decade had aimlessly and hopelessly wandered through the multiverse after his death to the point of near catatonia, finally goes back to his home dimension in "You Move, I Send" with the assistance of Backpack. [[spoiler:In fact, Julien is the only one with a definite happy ending given [[AmbiguousEnding what]] [[DownerEnding transpired]] in the finale.]]

** Scenty, after getting screwed out of being up for elimination[[note]]after she declared her intent to throw the competition to go home faster[[/note]] for two episodes thanks to Stone's interference and Airy's incompetence, finally gets a chance to be eliminated at the beginning of ''La Salle D'attente'', to which her teammates even [[TemptingFate discuss how likely it is that the "viewers" would vote for her the most.]] [[spoiler:When the time comes, Texty is eliminated instead. [[HeroicBSOD She doesn't take it well.]]]]

* {{Objectshifting}}: It's common knowledge for the second batch contestants to shift into inanimate mode (concealing their faces and limbs), akin to the appliances in ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'', so the humans in their world would remain unaware about their existence.
* ThePlace: The sixth episode is titled "La Salle D'attente" and is the debut of the location of the same name.
* PlacidPlaneOfAnkleDeepWater: La Salle D'attente is this, [[spoiler: at least for Liam.]]

* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler: Airy, being just a regular object, seems to have no ability to grant anyone's wish. The competition's reward is a moot point.]]

** Episode 9 is titled [[{{Music/Radiohead}} "Scatterbrain", and the video description says "As dead as leaves.".]] Not only that, but the visuals of the episode seem to line up with the lyrics, and the thumbnail resembles the cover.

* YearInsideHourOutside: If we go by the stinger in "Just Tripped", the show seems adverts the trope as Tomato is returned not long after he was taken.
** Ultimately {{Subverted}}. [[spoiler: As shown in episodes eight and nine, as much time passes in the plane as it does in the contestant's home worlds. Liam is ultimately presumed dead in the seven months that passed between when he was taken]].

''ONE'' is yet another {{Object Show|s}} created by Cheesy Hfj (the same guy who made the joke show called ''WebAnimation/BattleForCircle'') that premiered on June 11th, 2020 and ended on August 21, 2022. It has a group of objects competing for the chance of a wish for anything their heart desires.

%%The first batch comes from a PlanetOfHats where the objects are the humans and have day-to-day lives, resembling much like RealLife while the second batch live alongside humans

%%(Backpack, Magazine, Moldy, Scenty, Soda Bottle, Tomato) but then more contestants were added as the show went on, first in the second episode which was based on a {{Masquerade}} (Airline Food, Bassy, Contact Lens, Subway Seat, Tray, Whippy Creamy) and then in the third batch in episode three which resemble joke characters (Abstracty, Atom, Circle, Folder, Stone, Texty). note: move this and previous paragraph to Foil trope below.

* AlternateUniverse: The first batch of contestants live in a PlanetOfHats where the objects are basically the humans whereas the second batch is part of a separate and secretive race living in another world alongside humans. The third batch, unlike the first two, has each individual coming from an assortment of bizarre universes that Airy is unsure of (Basically, they're what the OSC called joke characters).

* AnyoneCanDie:
* AudienceParticipation: There is a form in each of the season 1 episodes' description, presumably for the viewers to vote on who gets eliminated. [[spoiler:However, it's actually [[ImpliedTrope Implied]], as Stone reveals that the votes are all faked and really it's the creator's decision to remove players and not the viewers.]]

* EveryoneMeetsEveryone:

%%**
%%**

%% * {{Heaven}} Sort of. La Salle D'attente, which first appeared in its self-titled episode, acts as a sort of afterlife place for the contestants that have died until Airy eventually revives them.
* HighVoltageDeath: [[spoiler: How Liam and Bryce died at the end of episode 13. In episode 14, it is shown that Texty also "died" as the computer they lived in was inside Liam]]

* MinimalistCast: Some objects shows have seemingly endless numbers of contestants, but this show originally didn't start out with that many players. It had stood proud at 6 contestants and an invisible host until 6 more joined the roster in episode two.

** [[spoiler:Bryce views the afterlife as the neigborhood he lived in when he was younger, specifically just outside his parent's house. His sister Stella is there in the distance, beckoning him to come with her. (Notably, in episode 15, he says "I'm not in the suburbs anymore" after he and Liam return to the afterlife from Texty's kill command, implying he started seeing [[PlacidPlaneOfAnkleDeepWater the same thing as Liam.]])]]

* ShoutOut: Episode 9 is titled [[{{Music/Radiohead}} "Scatterbrain", and the video description says "As dead as leaves.".]] Not only that, but the visuals of the episode seem to line up with the lyrics, and the thumbnail resembles the cover.

*** One of the notes seen in "Rattlepate" is a circle with a 5 inside, which is part of the aforementioned album's cover.
%% * SuddenCreepy: Its gradual, but the show goes from slightly surreal to creepy and horrific. To give you a sense, the elimination music slowly became more creepy between episodes 3 and 6.
* SuddenlyVoiced: Texty remained TheVoiceless from their debut to their elimination. [[spoiler: When they are reintroduced in episode 12, Liam uses a text to speech program so the can communicate better]].
* {{Teleportation}}: The host has this and uses it to abduct the contestants from their lives so he can make them compete in his gameshow.
* TemptingFate: TheStinger of "Starting Over" has Backpack comfort Scenty that the competition will end soon due to the rate at which the competition is going.[[note]]According to Backpack, the challenges and elimination takes place every twelve hours so at most they'll be all out in a week[[/note]] [[spoiler: Cue Airy getting into an unknown accident next episode and leaving the remaining contestants alone for ''seven months''.]]
* TheUnreveal: In "Freefall", Soda Bottle cuts off Airy before the latter could say what the acronym for ''ONE'' stands for. [[spoiler: In fact, it's never revealed at all.]]
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler: Tomato, who was the first out in "Just Tripped."]]
* WhamShot: The end of "Walls". [[spoiler: Stone is eliminated, despite the episode still not being over yet. Then he draws a letter on each sticky note he has before they start disappearing. These sticky notes form the message of [[FakeInteractivity "VOTES ARE FAKE YOU HAVE NO CONTROL".]]]]
