titletext [ ] is a surreal slice-of-life cartoon by Sean_27
centering around three friends, their odd conversations and antics. It may not be obvious from the description but the show is part of the Object Show genre as evidenced by the characters being anthropomorphic objects. However, its naturalistic tone and MS Paint art style make it an object show like no other.
The first episode was released on 28 May 2020 and can be viewed here. The second episode was released on July 20, 2023 and can be viewed here.
The contains the following tropes:
- A Dog Named "Dog": Unsurprisingly for an object show, the people in this world are objects and their names are reflective of that.
- Animate Inanimate Object: Tortilla is a nacho chip, Clover is a three-leaf clover, Towel is a bath towel. Sensing a pattern here?
- Anthropomorphic Food: Tortilla is one if you can't tell by his name.
- Armless Biped: Tortilla has no arms.
- A Lizard Named "Liz": "-y" suffix names would never let Object Shows with Clovery being another addition.
- all lowercase letters: The main title is spelled like that in addition to having no space in between as well as most of the credits.
- Cloudcuckoolander: The trio all have... bizarre thought patterns to say the least. In the first episode alone, Towel didn't realise their house was a bathroom the whole time until their friends pointed out when visiting, Tortilla enjoyed being bombarded with all the senses of the bathroom at once after eating something which allows him to and Clover wanted to print one-third of a paper at the printing store.
- Masculine, Feminine, Androgyne Trio: Quite hard to notice given they are objects without Tertiary Sexual Characteristics, Tortilla, Clovery and Towel form one and go by He/She, They/She and They/Them pronouns respectively. Their voices also reflect this with Tortilla sounding deep and calm, Clovery having a more high-pitched, energetic tone and Towel being neither.
- Minimalist Cast: Other than the occasional extra, the only focus of every episode is the trio of friends.
- Odd Name Out: Out of the trio, Clovery not only doesn't have a name beginning with 'T' but also follows A Lizard Named "Liz" convention rather than A Dog Named "Dog".
- Sensory Overload: Tortilla ate Towel's strange food which cause him to sense everything in their bathroom at the same time and had to lie down. She describes the experience as akin to coming out of a sensory-deprivation chamber but in a way, he kind of enjoyed it.
- Twofer Token Minority: Tortilla is the only armless person of the trio and goes by He/She pronouns.
- Where the Hell Is Springfield?: Towel lives smack-dabbed in the middle of a wheat field of no discernable location or landmarks other than a printing store.
