OJ

OJ, or occasionally Orange Juice, labeled The Normal Guy , voiced by Taylor Grodin, was a male contestant on Inanimate Insanity  and a member of Team Chickenleg. He eventually became the winner of the first season.

Although he is not a contestant in Inanimate Insanity II, he has made multiple minor appearances, even being a temporary host on "Everything's A-OJ."

He returned in Inanimate Insanity Invitational, as a member of The Thinkers before he was eliminated.

Appearance
OJ is a tall cylinder shaped glass with a circular opening at the top. Inside, he is filled with orange juice.

Personality
OJ is a calm and mature contestant on Inanimate Insanity. He has shown to be notably knowledgeable and intelligent many times throughout the series, making up ideas to complete challenges and forming multiple alliances, though he can come across as naive and stubborn at times. OJ usually approaches challenges with scrutiny and a passive attitude, but he can occasionally be quite competitive in challenges and usually tries to win for himself, his alliance or his team.

As the winner of Season 1, OJ since retired as a contestant and overtook the role of owner and manager of Hotel OJ. He has since grown more mature and leader-like and caters to various other contestant needs, though he is constantly overworked and tired with the burden of multiple responsibilities. He is reluctantly admitted into the third season, Inanimate Insanity Invitational, despite stressing about not wanting to leave the hotel unmanaged. Upon joining The Thinkers, OJ took more of a leader position and making decisions for the team, often butting heads with Paintbrush who strived for the same thing.

OJ is normally an empathetic and kind person with a level-headed approach to problems, both in challenges and between friends. However, as seen in "Everything's A-OJ," he can be quite clumsy and inconsiderate, as he's unable to find the eliminated contestants in his own hotel, as mentioned by Knife. OJ also commonly criticizes challenges before taking them, and overly complains, as mentioned by Pickle in "The Penultimate Poll". In times of stress, OJ can be quite pessimistic and cynical, and in extreme cases, lose his temper enough to get into fights, as seen in "The Overthinkers".
