Context WMG / InanimateInsanity

Go To

1[[WMG:Paintbrush is transgender or genderfluid.]]
2Will probably be mentioned somewhere in Season 2.
3* [[spoiler:Confirmed. They're non-binary, and therefore transgender.]]
4
5[[WMG:Marshmallow will [[spoiler:be disqualified in Episode 12]]]]
6Due to her [[spoiler:deciding to quit the show and live with Bow in Purgatory Mansion and [=MePhone=] announcing she will be eliminated if she does not return, it's more likely than not that this will be the case.]]
7* [[spoiler:Confirmed.]]
8
9[[WMG:Suitcase will be sent to a mental hospital in a future episode.]]
10[[spoiler:Her hallucinations]] become so bad that it drives her to harm (or attempt to kill) herself, and Mepad sends her to a mental hospital. [=MePhone4=] will have a mental breakdown in the episode, and he will start to cry and think it's his fault. Nickel is crying too, and he keeps saying "I'm sorry" to Suitcase, even though she isn't there.
11
12[[WMG:Lightbulb is a transgender girl, and there'll be a character arc about it.]]
13Since she was referred to as a boy in Episodes 1 and 2 of Season 1, but referred to as a girl after, she may be transgender. Another supporting point is that her wires changed shape, which may be an illusion to a sex change. The character arc will be about Lightbulb breaking down after being called a boy instead of a girl, and it will explore transgender issues.
14* Creators have confirmed that the gender change was only to balance the genders of the characters, but technically, it could still count as her being a transgender woman.
15* Confirmed by Brian Koch in a livestream
16
17[[WMG:[[spoiler:Taco will betray Microphone in a future episode, or vice versa.]]]]
18[[spoiler:Confirmed.]]
19
20[[WMG:Meeple is a cult.]]
21[[WMG:[=MePhone4=] was abused by Cobs.]]
22He seems to look scared when he sees Paintbrush's painting in Episode 12.
23* [[spoiler:Confirmed.]]
24
25[[WMG:Knife and/or Fan will get more CharacterFocus in Episode 13.]]
26* Confirmed.
27
28[[WMG:[=MePhone4S=] will [[spoiler:come back in Episode 13.]]]]
29* Despite the fact that Lightbulb and Test Tube [[spoiler:fixed the timeline after Lightbulb messed it up, there still might be a slight change to the timeline. A hole in the timeline will happen, which will summon [=MePhone4S=] from an other dimension where he was after he downgraded, and cause him to come out of a portal. A possible line for the situation will be:]]
30-->'''[=MePhone4S=]:''' [[spoiler:LIGHTBULB, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! I'M NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE ALIVE ANYMORE!]]
31* Jossed. He did not appear, although his paperwork does in one of [=MePhone=]'s flashbacks.
32
33[[WMG:[=MePhone4=] will have a flashback in Episode 13]]
34* The flashback might contain him as a child, with the other mephones (also children) making fun of him for having no shockwave mouth or sunglasses.
35* [[spoiler:Confirmed. [=Mephone4=] did have a flashback, but the idea of the other mephones making fun of him is Jossed.]]
36
37[[WMG:One of the characters will become a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds.]]
38I'm betting either [[spoiler:Baseball or Microphone.]] I dunno.
39** Jossed. Baseball calms down after episode 13 and Microphone splits up from Taco.
40Alternatively, it could be Suitcase after everything she's been through.
41
42[[WMG:[[spoiler:Nickel's having offscreen CharacterDevelopment at Hotel OJ.]]]]
43* Okay, now I'm beginning to doubt this one. [[spoiler:He seems to be as bitchy as ever according to the comics.]]
44** The first episode of the third season shows that Nickel decides to help Balloon when [[spoiler:he floats in midair after jumping off the cliff.]]
45** Jossed for the offscreen part, but he does redeem himself and is forgiven by Balloon.
46
47[[WMG:The characters (sans the Meeple products) are actually results of an experiment on giving inanimate objects life similar to that of [[Literature/TheIslandOfDoctorMoreau The Island of Doctor Moreau]].]]
48Sounded cool in my head...
49
50[[WMG:[=MePhone5C=] is a trans woman.]]
51* It seems a little off to have a cis females be in the middle of a product line of cis males. Cobs programmed [=MePhone5C=] to be a boy, but she wanted to be a girl. I wouldn't be surprised if this was confirmed, since [[spoiler:we already have 2 canon nonbinary characters in the show]].
52
53[[WMG:[[spoiler:Baseball is a {{Yandere}} for Nickel.]]]]
54Okay, okay, I might be overreacting, but [[spoiler:despite the fact Suitcase had a good reason to vote Nickel off, Baseball seems the most scornful to her, most likely to murderous tendencies judging by the [[DeathGlare facial expressions]]. Now, I know Baseball and Nickel are great friends, but remember that Nickel is a massive {{Jerkass}}, and it just so seems Baseball is blinded by his (platonic or not) love for him to notice. Not to mention earlier in season 2 [[https://youtu.be/xEOUmwUB_cE?t=608 Baseball becomes uncomfortably close to Nickel at one point]].]] Not to mention Baseball kicked Knife powerfully [[DisproportionateRetribution just for calling him fat]]. [[spoiler:[[FridgeHorror Who knows what Baseball could do to Suitcase?!]].]]
55** [[spoiler:Jossed. Test Tube helps him calm down, and when he runs into Suitcase, he decides not to talk with her so he can let her focus on the challenge.]]
56
57[[WMG:Whatever laid the martian egg in "Marsh On Mars" will come to Earth and [[MamaBear go after Fan and Test Tube]].]]
58Haven't any of you seen ''WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle''?! That egg definitely belonged to something, and I [[FridgeHorror don't think it would be happy]] about Fan taking its child without its consent...
59** [[spoiler:''Confirmed'']].
60
61[[WMG:Humans who died were reincarnated into the objects.]]
62I know, I know. Theories like this have been done to [[IncrediblyLamePun death]]. But [[BlackComedy I thought it was fun]].
63Now, as for why Bow and Dough come back as ghosts, that’s because the magic could only reincarnate them into something once. Therefore, they’re just ghosts now. Now as of ''how'' they died:
64** For Season 1, Knife was a biker who was stabbed, Marshmallow fell onto a campfire, Baseball was a baseball player who was denied medical treatment due to doctors blaming everything on his weight, Lightbulb was an electrician with Pica who gave into impulses and ate an electrical appliance, Paintbrush was an artist who flew into a rage that got them killed by someone in self-defense, Balloon died of asphyxiation from inhaling helium, OJ drowned, Apple was a farmer who suffered a brain disease, Bomb died in an explosion, Nickel was a banker whose head was cracked open by falling onto a safe, Paper was an office worker who suffered a ''really'' bad papercut, Bow was a stylist who was strangled by a ribbon, Salt and Pepper suffered dehydration, Pickle was stabbed through an eye, Taco was a waitress at a Mexican restaurant who choked on a lemon.
65** Regarding Season 2, The Cherries were conjoined twins that died before birth, Suitcase was a traveler who got cut open by a hippo in Africa, Trophy was an athlete who used steroids, Test Tube was a scientist who died in a lab accident, Yin-Yang committed suicide due to bipolar disorder, Tissues was a doctor who caught Ebola, Cheesy was a loathed comedian who was beaten by his hecklers, Microphone was a metal singer whose vocal chords were gruesomely and crudely ripped out when she got nodules, Fan was cyberbullied to suicide by a hatedom, Soap was a cleaning lady who accidentally ingested a cleaning product, Box was a stillbirth, and Dough died in a baking accident.
66** As for the ''Invitational'' contestants, Cabby was a secretary that was crushed to death by a fallen file cabinet, Blueberry was a suicidally depressed man that intentionally triggered an fatal allergic reaction to blueberries, Candle was a hippie that burned to death after leaving a candle near a curtain, Clover was murdered and thrown into a field of clovers to rot, Goo was a child that choked to death on slime, Lifering was a lifeguard that drowned trying to save someone else, Silver Spoon was a celebrity that was accidentally killed by paparazzi, Tea Kettle was scalded to death by boiling water, and The Floor was buried alive.
67
68[[WMG:One of Paintbrush's parents is a torch.]]
69That would explain why their bristles [[BurningWithAnger catch fire]] when they get really angry.
70
71[[WMG:The series finale will have a WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue.]]
72
73[[WMG:The final episode will be a BittersweetEnding.]]
74Judging from the CerebusSyndrome, I'm pretty sure it would... or...
75
76[[WMG:The final episode will be a full-blown DownerEnding.]]
77
78[[WMG:Marshmallow is an EldritchAbomination.]]
79Remember when she manipulated gravity at a couple points in season 1? Marshmallows don't do that. Not to mention she can also apparently heal from being burned to death without [=MePhone=] having to revive her...
80
81[[WMG:Nickel and Nick-Le are brothers, and they're both human-object hybrids.]]
82This may seem a little weird, but I have evidence. Remember how Nickel defecated on Baseball's head in Episode 2? And how humans defecate? This might be a bit of evidence that Nickel is half human.
83
84And proof that Nick-Le is half-object? He is shown to be able to hide his limbs (they aren't shown in episode 5 until he says "I'm highly offended"), which many objects do. (example of objects hiding their limbs is in Episode 7, Sugar Rush where [=MePhone4S=] explains the challenge)
85
86[[WMG:[=MePhone4=] is a vegetarian.]]
87He only eats cookies, which do not contain meat. He refused to eat the Grand Slams' pizza in episode 4, which contained meat. The Bright Lights' pizza was meat free.
88** I'm pretty sure there were [[NauseaFuel other reasons]] he [[LethalChef didn't eat]] the Grand Slams' pizza, but this guess is still plausible.
89
90[[WMG:In Episode 14/15, [=MePhone4=] will attempt suicide.]]
91His mental state has seemed to be declining as of when [[spoiler:he gets his memories of Cobs back]]. It's very possible that [[spoiler:those memories will overwhelm him]], and that he will attempt suicide. However, it wouldn't be likely to be suicide by hanging or another real method of suicide. I think that he will upgrade himself, but the upgrade will fail or glitch.
92* He could shoot himself, as phones can be destroyed by being shot.
93** ''Jossed.''
94
95[[WMG:The condishawn isn't actually contagious.]]
96It is a genetic chronic illness. Those who "get it" are actually fooled by the nocebo effect.
97** If it was a genetic chronic illness, that would imply there's object generations and I don't really know about that but there could be?
98*** Cobs mentions having parents (that he doesn't talk to anymore) in Theft and Battery, and there's a discussion of Cabby's parents in Spring On The Breakfast, so presumably there are?
99[[WMG:Possible scenarios if [=MePhone4S=] [[spoiler:comes back]].]]
100* His [[spoiler:[[UnwantedRevival resurrection will be unwanted by him.]]]]
101* His memory [[spoiler:will be wiped, and will be in a slightly [[ManChild childish]] state of mind, not unlike [=MePhone4=] in his flashbacks]].
102* He [[spoiler:will be confused about the world, and go around the island screaming and going crazy. He will grab Suitcase by her handle and ask "ARE YOU A GIRL OR [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girlie_men A GIRLIE MAN]]?!"]]
103[[spoiler:Jossed. Surprisingly, instead he behaved oddly normal.]].
104
105[[WMG:Fan And Cobs Will Return In Episode 14]]
106A promotional image released on Easter depicts the egg laying on the ground with [[spoiler:Test Tube, Fan, and Cobs']] shadows standing over it; possibly foreshadowing that they (Cobs and Fan) will have a major role in the episode. Think about it.
107* Fan returns, but Cobs' does not. So this is semi-Jossed
108
109[[WMG:Possible scenarios if the egg hatches in episode 14.]]
110* The creature that layed the egg will come after Fan and Test Tube.
111** [[spoiler:''Confirmed'']].
112* If Test Tube isn't able to tame the creature, it [[spoiler:will run amok and attack everyone, resulting in Test Tube being rejected by the others or disqualified by [=MePhone4=]]], unless, of course, they're smart enough to know it ''technically'' wasn't her fault.
113** ''Confirmed.'' [[spoiler:Well, sort of. The creature(s) don't run amok, though they do abduct Fan, and Test Tube isn't rejected by the other contestants, but she is still eliminated.]]
114* The egg hatches, revealing another egg inside.
115** ''Jossed.''
116* Test Tube (and possibly Lightbulb) attempt to hide the creature but fail.
117** ''Jossed.''
118
119[[WMG:Episode 14 will end on a cliffhanger.]]
120* {{Jossed}}.
121** Ultimately confirmed actually, as Mephone 4 starts season 3 and finishes it before Episode 15 of Season 2 happens, putting the season itself on a cliffhanger for almost 4 years.
122
123[[WMG:Test Tube was EvilAllAlong.]]
124* {{Jossed}}.
125
126[[WMG:Test Tube works For Cobs.]]
127* {{Jossed}}.
128
129[[WMG:The [=MePhone=] seen at the end of Hatching the Plan is a [=MePhoneX=].]]
130* It displays an X on its screen, and also, it has physical characteristics similar to the real iPhone X (no button at the bottom of the screen, and the black region at the top of the screen is pretty small).
131*** Confirmed. See their most recent Q&A.
132
133[[WMG:Episode 15 Will Revolve Around Lightbulb.]]
134* The episode will focus on her loneliness and struggle to interact with the other contestants since all of her closest friends are gone.
135
136[[WMG:Inanimate Insanity takes place in the future.]]
137* As the theory suggests, the show takes place in the far future. Man-kind has been wiped out by a nuclear fallout; but dispite it's race-killing distruction, started new life (the objects, which were mutated). As time goes by, the earth recovers, and these new "creatures" gain intellegence and build their own society. Meeple is the new Apple, Steve Cobs is the new Steve Jobs, and so on.
138
139[[WMG:Episode 15 or 16 will be a two-parter.]]
140* Just like the final episode of season one (ep.18; Journey Through Memory Lane) the final episode (ep. 16) of II 2 will be split into two episodes, or episode 15 will be split, leading up to the finale. Hopefully it won't be another 2 years until we find out.
141
142[[WMG:In the first season, Taco, Paper, and Balloon are likely the object versions/caricatures of WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy]]
143* While the characters aren't a trio, they show resemblance in personality.
144** Taco is TheDitz (even if she was faking it), which is Ed.
145** Paper is the [[EndearinglyDorky quirky]] effeminate nerd, which is Edd.
146** Balloon is the [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]] Eddy, forcing his team to do certain things.
147
148[[WMG:[=MePhone2G=] will appear in Episode 15.]]
149* She (That's right, a SamusIsAGirl situation), unexpectedly, is still alive and on the run.
150[[WMG:[=MePhone5C=] and [=MePhone5S=] were forced to be married by Cobs.]]
151They don't actually love each other and Cobs hired a corrupt pastor to marry them.
152
153[[WMG:Bow found another vessel for her spirit]]
154[[spoiler:Which is how she comes back in Season 3]]
155* [[spoiler:[[{{Jossed}} Nope]]. It was actually a robot replica.]]
156
157[[WMG:AJR's "I'm Not Famous" and Lightbulb relate to eachother.]]
158* As my theory suggests, Lightbulb is aware of her popularity, but doesn't worry too much about it since she's not treated much like a 'star'. When she went to the Alternate Reality Universe, she was overrun with attention that she wasn't used to. This made her realize her worth: she's popular but not treated like it.
159
160Now to match the song:
161
162"Where my haters, where my haters?
163I don't got none, I'm not famous, no."
164
165Lightbulb is liked by a majority of the fandom, and rarely has any hate given towards her.
166
167"It don't matter what my name is.
168I don't got one. I'm not famous no."
169
170She's notoriously known as the "fan favorite" of the show, but seemingly obvious.
171
172"Nobody judges me. Cause I'm not famous, no."
173
174Related to verse 1.
175
176"Paparazzi is at an all time low. Paparazzi, they don't care where I go."
177
178The cast is mostly aware of her popularity but doesn't do, nor feel anything. This changed with the alternate reality contestants.
179
180"And I don't hate it, no, and I don't hate it, no. I'm not famous, no."
181
182Lightbulb is most likely aware of being famous but getting no attention, and is fine by it.
183
184(Give the song a listen, to make this theory make more sense.)
185[[WMG:Baseball wants/wanted to be a father.]]
186Thus the book he read on Idiotic Island was regarding TheTalk. Given he was horrified by the content, however, he's now considering at least just adopting. This also could work given his BigBrotherMentor behavior in season two at the least.
187
188[[WMG:Inanimate Insanity Invitational takes place in a computer simulation.]]
189The animation style at the end of ''Out of Body Experience Part 2'', which takes place at Purgatory Mansion, is animated in the 24 FPS of II2, rather than the 12 FPS used in the main series. This implies that III is, in some way, "outside" of II2, which is further supported by the lack of any link to the world of II2. It's possible that III is a computer simulation created by [=MePhone=] as an escape from the stress of Cobs returning and the competition in general, with the intent of making the show what he wanted. Ballpoint Pen is a representation of [=MePhone's=] insecurities about running away from the present and the future, and his note could be a warning to [=MePhone=] that he can't ignore Cobs forever, and he is going to have to face him one day.
190* Jossed if Invitational's finale is anything to go by.
191
192[[WMG:Yin-Yang will eventually quit in Invitational.]]
193Let's face it, unless Yin-Yang (or another object) does something that'll no longer have the majority of the viewers make Yin-Yang immune again, therefore making the other contestants to vote *him* out he'll be bound to do this...eventually.
194* The immunity vote has been removed as of episode 12 so it's entirely possible for the contestants to eliminate him
195* [[spoiler:Jossed, he ends up getting eliminated in episode 15.]]
196
197[[WMG:[=MePhone4=] will have to realise that he can't keep repressing his emotions]]
198He keeps on trying to delete the memories associated with Cobs, but by doing so, he's only removing the memory files of Cobs, not his emotions. Eventually, he won't be able to handle it anymore, and he'll break down crying.
199
200[[WMG: The main timeline verson of [=MePhone7=] along with the [=MePhone=] counterpounts of iPhone versions 7+ to 8+ were KilledOffscreen]] Given that [=MePhone5S and 5C=] weren't that intelligent and [=MePhone6 and 6+=] were killed just by being poked it's not that much of a stretch to say that the following versions were also complete pushovers and that they were never shown on screen because of it.
201
202[[WMG: Walkie Talkie was hijacked by someone between the events of "Blue Buried" and "The Show Must Go On"]]
203She didn't really seem to have any bad intentions before TSMGO, and in said episode, the number on her screen changed from "04-03" to "20-33", making it possible that she was hijacked by somebody trying to manipulate [=MePhone=] (possibly someone related to Meeple).
204* [[spoiler:Jossed, she maintains the new number even after she does a HeelFaceTurn]].
205
206[[WMG: Springy was created by a [=MePhone=]]]
207Springy glitching out from time to time resembles the kinds of glitches that the tree [=MePhone=] 4 spawned in had when practising his item-spawning abilities in a flashback in "Mine Your Own Business". This ties in with the above theory that it's related to Meeple.
208* Seemingly [[spoiler:Jossed. There’s nothing in the finale that leans towards confirming this theory, and the reasoning for his glitching remains unknown]].
209
210[[WMG: The Floor was in on [=MePhone's=] plans the entire time]]
211Near the end of "A Jury For Your Fears", after the contestants find out about [=MePhone's=] [[spoiler:plans for a 4th season]], The Floor yells to the other contestants that "it isn't like that anymore, implying that he knew about it beforehand. As for when he found out, it could likely be after "The Great Bluish Bake-Off".
212
213[[WMG: Paradise (the island that ''Invitational'' takes place on,) is somewhere near Australia.]]
