MePad, labeled The Assistant, is a deuteragonist who worked as MePhone4's assistant in Inanimate Insanity II. He is voiced by Justin Chapman.
Personality[]
When first introduced, MePad is a docile and tranquil assistant to MePhone4 who works on a relatively professional level. His primary purpose is to assist and serve MePhone4 in any situation, which he strongly abides by, including the showcasing of the elimination votes. He can also be considered a family member of MePhone, considering their relationship together throughout the series.
MePad is respectful and well-mannered, commonly referring to his boss as "sir", and will occasionally address contestants using "Mr." or "Ms.". At first, MePad believes Toilet, MePhone4's other assistant, should also behave professionally in his workplace. In turn, Toilet makes it very clear that he doesn't like MePad's presence and is jealous of the attention he gets from MePhone4, though MePad doesn't seem to notice Toilet's hatred and shows no animosity. In "Theft and Battery", MePad explains to Toilet that he views the two as equals and doesn't consider himself superior, sparking mutual respect between them.
As a Meeple Product, MePad may lack an understanding of general emotion and is usually seen expressionless. Despite this, MePad has developed a sense of wit and sarcasm, presumably from MePhone4, as first seen in "Cooking for the Grater Good" when commenting on Trophy's elimination and in "A Kick in the Right Direction" when noting Dough's repetitive nature. In "Kick the Bucket", MePad reassures to MePhone that he "can't feel anything". However, he does show general concern, for instance, when Lightbulb coughs while attempting to play the saxophone.
MePad is very clever and intelligent, offering advice and solutions to MePhone4's problems. Due to his high levels of intelligence and observant nature, MePad may get caught up in analyzing little details and functional marvels while more important matters are at hand. While observing the competition, MePad has gradually worried and expressed concern for contestants' safety, particularly Marshmallow. His respect for contestants has challenged his professional side, as he allows Marshmallow to leave the show's parameters despite breaking the rules and later lies about her whereabouts.
Appearance[]
MePad is a large black rectangular tablet with a dark silver casing, his design being based off of/a parody of the 2012 iPad Mini. He has a fuchsia/magenta background with speckled dots and a blue zircon colour sound-wave mouth. Below his screen is a home button. MePad has two cameras, a small one above his screen and another on his back above a black Meeple logo.
Abilities[]
- Teleportation: Using advanced Meeple technology, MePad has the ability to travel instantaneously from one location to another without physically occupying the space in between. He can also teleport others, as first seen in "Theft and Battery".
Coverage[]
Comparison and Contrast from iPads[]
At the time of MePad's first appearance in "Marsh on Mars", MePad mentions that he has quad 4-dual processors, while iPads don't have them yet. MePad also says he has "the new A6 chip" like real iPads, while it should have been an M6 chip like MePhone4S's M5 chip.
Trivia[]
- MePad and MePhoneX are the only Meeple products to not have died yet.
- MePad is the first Meeple product to refrain from hunting MePhone4, other than MePhone4 himself.
- MePad is the second Meeple product to have a soundwave mouth, after MePhone5.
- It can be assumed that they both run the same version of MeOS, which is true for their real world equivalents.
- Adam confirmed that MePad is based on an iPad Mini.
- The specific device model he is based on which the first generation iPad Mini, was released on November 2, 2012, and if the in-universe chronology can be based on a device's release date, MePad wouldn't exist until the mentioned year and the events shown on MePhone4's old memories in "Mine Your Own Business" wouldn't occur properly.
- He is the only Meeple product to be armless.
- MePad is the second-largest character and Meeple Product on Inanimate Insanity.
- The largest character and Meeple Product is MePhone6+.
- A recreation of MePad appeared in a stream from YouTube creator iShowSpeed as he was visiting the Philippines. This was done by an object show fan who happened to be in the area at the time of his stream.[1]
