"A New Stage In The Game" is the 5.5th episode of Inanimate Insanity, released on September 1, 2011. The episode was deleted and promptly re-uploaded on September 14, 2011.
Synopsis[]
You know what an invisible turkey and this episode have in common? They both aren't "real", hence the ".5" in the episode number. Yes guys, as some of you may know, I was away at camp for a large portion of the month, so I didn't quite have enough time to animate an entire full episode of Inanimate Insanity, but I didn't want to leave you guys with nothing, so here it is! So ever wonder where the eliminated contestants go when they are voted off? Who were the winners of the contest? Whats next episodes challenge. 2 of those questions, and 1 more will be answered in this stunning half episode!
Plot[]
The episode begins in the imprisoned island called Idiotic Island, where the eliminated contestants are located. Paper is complaining about the fact that he is stuck there, Baseball is reading a book on Where babies came from, and Lightbulb crashes into the caged island and shatters.
Meanwhile, MePhone4 receives a phone call from his producer, Adam, who says they aren't ready for the next challenge, because they still need to reach 1000 lbs of guacamole for the challenge. So instead, MePhone4 reveals the 10 fan-created competitors that won the contest and had a chance of joining the show.
The rules of the contest was that a personality was to be provided (the more details, the better), no cloned competitors (example: Evil Marshmallow, Robot Balloon), no human or animal-like competitors (example: Nick-Le), and no competitors from other dimensions (example: Spongy from BFDI).
10 New Recommended Characters[]
The 10 competitors were revealed in this order:
- TV created by MarioLuigi3128
- Apple created by TotalDrama23
- Teddy Bear created by CowGirl27733
- Magnifying Glass created by JaySillyBoy
- Spikey Mervert created by WaluigiFreak789
- 8-Ball created by TheBombDigityShis
- Dictionary created by ApePunch
- Bell created by BlueLucario98
MePhone4 then explains that in the next episode, the recommended competitors will compete for a spot on the show.
The episode ends with Apple asking Dictionary what the definition of what an "apple" is, and Dictionary responds with the answer: "An apple is an idiotic fruit with a very low IQ." Afterwards, the viewers are told that there is no voting period, and that perhaps they could vote in the next episode.

Trivia[]
- This is known as the only mini-episode that takes place within the season itself, and the only mini-episode to exist within the series. That being said the mini-episode to also use a decimal indicated as half of previous episode but shorter.
- Although Teddy Bear is referring to a stuffed animal, she is still technically animal-like. This could have been the loop-hole that got her on.
- Bubble from Battle for Dream Island makes a cameo.
- 8-Ball, Bell, Dictionary and TV are the only 4 recommended characters from BFDI.
- JaysillyBoy, who recommended Magnifying Glass, was the person responsible for casting the first ever BFDI vote against Flower in BFDI 1b: Take The Plunge.
- This episode was made following a video where YouTube viewers were allowed to submit auditions of their recommended characters for a chance to be featured in this episode, and join the game. However, due to the channel getting hacked by Nate Groth, this, alongside episodes 1-5.5 were deleted. It is thought to be Lost Media by Justin Chapman, as the crew did not save the video prior to its deletion.
- This would be the very last episode Nate Groth had actual involvement in the series until Breaking the Ice. Due to him hacking the original account, deleting the original uploads of the previous episodes, he was briefly fired, with his recordings of Balloon and Nick Le being used throughout the season.
Deaths[]
- Lightbulb is shattered when landing on Idiotic Island.
Goofs[]
- When the episode begins, Baseball doesn't have his book until he starts speaking.
- Poptart is rectangularly horizontally shaped with no arms, but his "profile picture" shows him vertically shaped with arms.
- Before Lightbulb crashes into Idiotic Island, Baseball's eye is on the ground instead of his face.
- Paper has no mouth until he starts speaking. At the same time, Paper appears as his old design until he speaks.
