Inanimate Insanity



Inanimate Insanity is an online animated competition web series on YouTube created by Adam Katz, Taylor Grodin, Brian Koch, and Justin Chapman. The show is about 16 anthropomorphic objects that compete for 1 million dollars.

The series premiered on April 1, 2011, with the first episode, "The Crappy Cliff" (which has since been re-uploaded, dating September 14, 2011, due to a hacking incident that removed Episodes 1 through 5.5.) The show premiered on the YouTube channel AnimationEpic, where all future episodes and seasons would remain.

The series came to a temporary halt on June 1, 2012, for a summer hiatus, but returned on September 1, 2012.

The final episode of the first season, "Journey Through Memory Lane (Part 2)", was released on December 8, 2012, concluding the season with 18 episodes total (not including 5.5).

Inanimate Insanity returned for a second season called Inanimate Insanity II that aired on April 2, 2013, featuring eight original returning contestants and twelve new contestants. It is currently still in progress.

On April 3, 2021, a third season, Inanimate Insanity Invitational, was released. It premiered with Season 2 still in progress. You guessed it, there are two seasons running at the same time.
