"The Best of" videos (which feature clips from the series) are videos which each contestant has once they are eliminated. The first Best of video was for the newly eliminated Tissues. The Best of videos weren't in the first season.
The "Best of" videos were succeeded by the Exit Interviews, which was used for episodes of Inanimate Insanity Invitational. Unlike the "Best of" videos being a compilation of the characters, the Exit Interviews are questions from the viewers being answered by the cast.
Inanimate Insanity 2[]
Tissues (20th)[]
Inanimate Insanity II - The Best of Tissues
The Best of Video starts with Tissues near the elimination area just about to sneeze. A quote from Trophy is played over it. It then begins shifting to Tissue quotes which have been said throughout the first 2 episodes, they aren't in chronological order.
Then after showcasing a few more moments, it shifts to Tissues being in the bottom 2 at his elimination. After he is eliminated the video ends with a picture of the full cast, with Tissues fading away as he was eliminated.
Cherries (19th)[]
Inanimate Insanity II - Best of Cherries
The video starts with a picture of Cherries crossing their arms and next to the benches at elimination. Over it they play a quote involving the two talking and even insulting Paintbrush. After the scene plays it flashes to Test Tube talking about the molecular structure of a cookie. This bores Cherries to tears as one says, motioning to the other who has tears streaming down his eyes.
After playing more scenes which involve Cherries (which includes sending Marshmallow to Mars) It shifts to them in Tri Your Best in the bottom two. They call Yin-Yang annoying and after revealing the truth about sending Marshmallow to Mars, Cherries apologize to everyone and Box, much to MePhone4's annoyance as he tries to rush them into the portal.
Cherries then try to say something but then they are pushed in by Yang. After this it shows the picture of the full cast with exception of Tissues, who was eliminated previously, Cherries quickly fade away and then the video ends.
Trophy (18th)[]
Inanimate Insanity II - Best of Trophy
The video starts with a picture of Trophy upset, about to yell, possibly about his elimination. Over it, they play a quote of him wanting to start the contest so he can defeat everyone and "take the million". After the scene finishes, it switches to Trophy telling Nickel he didn't want to compete. Then it flashes to Trophy calling Fan "pathetic", then flashing to Trophy answering Tissues questions on forming an alliance, saying no, before kicking him off the ice. Then it flashes to Knife responding to Trophy saying "we're both jocks", noting that while Trophy's a jock, he's a jerk, before Knife punting Trophy of the glacier.
After playing more scenes which involves Trophy (including him taking the picture of Knife playing with his doll, making Knife his slave, threatening Knife with the picture, and showing everyone Knife's picture after Knife stops being his slave) it shifts to him in Cooking for the Grater Good, being in the bottom two. He is shocked about being in the bottom two, asking why the viewers would vote him off. When he is shown he is eliminated, he gets mad about losing to Box, the other person in the Bottom Two, and crushes Box. Suitcase calls him a monster, and jealous that Box is still in the game before Trophy tells her to shut up, and Suitcase complies.
Knife gets to his breaking point, and runs up to Trophy, before pushing Trophy into the portal. After this, it shows the picture of all the contestants who were not eliminated before Trophy, where Trophy's picture quickly fades away, and the video ends.
Box (17th)[]
Inanimate Insanity II - The Best of Box
The video starts showing Box by the elimination benches, before flashing to Box when he is in various situations, including; him "drowning" and him getting put in the calm-down corner, with Box falling over. After the short montage, the scene flashes over to his elimination, with MePhone annoyed at Box's supposed attitude. After holding out the tension, he announces Box has been eliminated.
With Apple quickly opening Box before he goes into the portal, in shock she exclaims, "Taco!?" Only for Knife to point out it's only the word Box. Before being kicked into the portal, Suitcases bids Box a farewell, with MePad commenting as he kicks Box into the portal.
Then, a screen comes up with all contestants, with exception of the eliminated, Box fades away while Dough's seen fading in just before the previously eliminated Trophy exclaims that Box isn't even alive, which may have possibly foreshadowed to the next episode.
Dough (16th)[]
Inanimate Insanity II - Best of Dough
The video, similar to any other, begins by showing the eliminated contestant (Dough) near the elimination bleachers. Toilet is heard saying that he did it, which MePhone assumes that Bow has been found and the camera slowly moves up to show Dough. Music plays accompanying the video while Toilet introduces Dough, Dough greets them.
Later, you see him falling down stairs as a result of him saying stairs are the best, he wishes for a bear competition later on, being slightly ambivalent. He goes onto say that stairs are "so 34 seconds ago" and that he now has a fascination for bears instead.
Dough is seen by a goal next, and he pesters Microphone about being bored and Microphone notes that he used another chair and rhyme and she informs him that everybody has a clear lack of care for what he is saying. This prompts the other team to score and as a result Microphone is shocked and peers on forward to the other team cheering.
Numerous scenes play including Nickel conversing with Dough, Microphone yelling at Dough and Dough getting eaten by Yin, his untimely demise. He appears in between Lightbulb and Cheesy when the picture of all of the contestants, but he quickly fades out.
Yin-Yang (15th)[]
Inanimate Insanity II - Best of YinYang
Yin and Yang are two halves of a whole that are polar opposites, combined together into one body. The result, as one can imagine, is quite chaotic. While Yin is kind and tolerant, Yang is passionate and brutal, but the situation may not be as black and white as it appears. Yin and Yang are combined to naturally balance each other, forming Yin-Yang. When together, the two are constantly arguing about everything from game strategy to their own hydration. When apart, more than merely “arguing” will ensue… so separating the two is highly regarded as a bad idea.
Apple (14th)[]
Inanimate Insanity II - Best of Apple
"A" is for Apple,” but unfortunately that's the only spelling tip this competitor can lend. Apple is a particularly juvenile character, innocent in her attitude towards friendship and grudges. On the flip of that, she is unable to easily read a friend's feelings… nor a book. What shines through Apple most, however, is her ambition towards proving her value to others. In failure to do this, she can be sent down a spiral of confusion and bitterness. But when her sentiment is reciprocated, there is no one person, literature exam, or competition that can make her day rotten.
Cheesy (13th)[]
Inanimate Insanity II - Best of Cheesy
Always the jokester, Cheesy never misses an opportunity to unleash a zinger on an unsuspecting fellow contestant. Although well-intentioned, his jokes oftentimes miss the mark. Even if his delivery is lacking, Cheesy’s goal of making others laugh is a noble one. Unfortunately, it has been called into question whether or not Cheesy is capable of taking life seriously. While he is undoubtedly sensitive to criticism, Cheesy ultimately will never give up on comedy- for better or worse!
Soap (12th)[]
Inanimate Insanity II - Best of Soap
When it comes to keeping things clean, no one does a better job than Soap. She is an efficient and organized leader at heart, yet in her desire to keep everything sanitary she often creates another mess entirely. Soap wants to ensure everything is in its proper place but has recently shown a willingness to be less particular. She is not afraid to be upfront and call others out on their mistakes. Above all, Soap is determined to not only give her friends advice, but to work on herself as well.
Balloon (11th)[]
Inanimate Insanity II - Best of Balloon
Initially a ruthless competitor, Balloon relied on manipulative and demanding tactics to advance himself in the game… to little avail... OH C’MON!! He has since seen the error of his ways and strives to be more kind and considerate. Balloon immensely values friendship and has an intense desire to rise above his past demons. Unfortunately, he is continuously labeled as untrustworthy by other competitors in his pursuit of allies. Is his personal transformation truly genuine, or is he merely full of hot air?
Nickel (10th)[]
Inanimate Insanity II - Best of Nickel
Don’t let Nickel’s small stature or value fool you – this coin is rough around the edges! Nickel’s sarcastic attitude, frequent pessimism, and witty zingers make him a polarizing character in the game. He is generally quite blunt and is never afraid to speak his mind, which can rub the more sensitive contestants the wrong way. Despite his gruff exterior, Nickel is very loyal and wants nothing more than to assist his friends and alliances in winning. If he refuses to dial his attitude back, it may just cost him 20 million times his own value!
Marshmallow (9th)[]
Inanimate Insanity II - Best of Marshmallow
She may appear kind and endearing... but don’t let her sweet exterior fool you! Marshmallow has evolved into a fiercely defiant player who usually puts her own issues before others. Due to conflicts with other contestants, she has developed significant trust issues as well as an uncertainty as to whether anything on the show is real. Despite her small stature, what she lacks in physical presence she makes up for with her blunt nature and outspokenness. If Marshmallow wants something, she’ll stop at nothing to get it even if she has to venture outside the parameters of the game to do so.
Paintbrush (8th)[]
Inanimate Insanity II - Best of Paintbrush
Paintbrush strives to be a responsible leader that can earn victory for their team! The only problem is... they’re not the team leader, but that won’t stop them! Paintbrush is very compassionate and is always looking out for the best interests of friends and allies. Their strong leadership skills stem from a pragmatic approach to solving problems. That being said, they have little-to-no temper for those who slack. If you happen to anger Paintbrush... run.
Fan (7th)[]
Inanimate Insanity II - Best of Fan
Fan is a walking, talking database of Inanimate Insanity’s history, A.K.A. a huge “fan” of the show. Being a contestant is truly a dream come true for him, and he is constantly nerding out over (OBSERVING/Edited by Fan) every facet of the competition. With an obsession over (WATCHFUL EYES ON/Edited by Fan) theories and patterns from the show’s past, Fan is usually (NEVER/Edited by Fan) unaware of what is happening around him and is actually the most ignorant (SELF-AWARE/Edited by Fan) competitor of all! Fan is, indeed, quite socially awkward (A STRATEGIC AND IMAGINATIVE/Edited by Fan) player that strives to win, no matter how unconventional or subversive the means!
Microphone (6th)[]
Inanimate Insanity II - Best of Microphone
Microphone is determined to make her full potential audible to others. If she ever encounters a problem, Mic is sure to address the situation head-on and speak (or shout) her mind. As a result, she is easily misunderstood and usually has problems hiding her secrets... which she recently has plenty of. Although Microphone began this competition loud and proud, she has lost sight of her initial strengths and has resorted to alternative means of winning.
Test Tube (5th)[]
Inanimate Insanity - Best of Test Tube
Test Tube… golly… we wonder where her passions lie! SPOILER ALERT: Science! Test Tube is a knowledge driven scientist that has a slew of kooky inventions at her disposal. Her initial weakness, her social ability, has improved as a result of building friendships with some of the other contestants. Although she is generally understanding and kind, she becomes easily frazzled by the “unexplainable.” Over time, Test Tube questions if everything in life really needs to be explained. But as for right now, Test Tube strives to do what’s right… in the name of science! Science rules!!
Trivia[]
