Draft:Inanimate Insanity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: ONCE AGAIN. No changes since the last decline with the exception of various bug fixes. In addition to this, this is the second reject for this draft. It's time we put it out of misery. Wikiman (Talk) 18:02, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: Sourcing does not show this topic is notable. Source 1 offers brief mentions, source 2 is unreliable (WP:KNOWYOURMEME, WP:UGC), source 3 is just an interview with one of the creators and source 4 discusses a live event hosted for both II and BFDI. While you have established this exists, you have not established it is notable. We need multiple reliable, secondary sources covering the topic in significant depth and are independent from the subject. Think of a movie review from a reliable critic on a reliable website, for instance; that's the type of sources we're looking for. Rambley (talk / contribs) 23:37, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

Battle for Dream Island

Inanimate Insanity (II) is an American animated web series created by Adam Katz. It was released on April 1, 2011 under the YouTube channel AnimationEpic, and takes inspiration from the web series Battle for Dream Island. Unlike BFDI, Inanimate Insanity follows a dark and casual betrayal path with both Season 1 and 2.[1]

Premise

[edit source]

The series follows a group of anthropomorphic object contestants competing for a prize, using the standard object show format for the first season and part of the second. After the 8th episode of that season, the show becomes a "contestant vote", in which contestants from the losing team vote one of their members off. In the third season, viewers could vote one contestant to win immunity up until episode 12.

MePhone4, a parody of the iPhone 4, hosts the first three seasons, with two former contestants taking over in season 4. The first two seasons have the prize of one million dollars. The third season has a few contestants going to a tropical island via boat to battle for an unplanned prize. The fourth has an announcement at "Purgatory Mansion" to make others join with no prize.
