Elimination Order[]

The team that loses the challenge originally had to eliminate a contestant (usually the one who caused them to lose), but now the viewers normally vote on this. The eliminated contestant is never to be seen again except either when a process of rejoining or a scene from Idiotic Island.

Trivia[]

  • Season 1 was mostly animated with Anime Studio 6 Pro rather than Adobe Flash.
    • However, the introduction of Adobe Animate is seen in "The Tile Divide", mixed with Moho animation.
  • Season 1 was the second object show on YouTube, the first was Battle for Dream Island premiering on January 1st, 2010 on the channel Jacknjellify.
  • Season 1 began on April 1st, which also coincides with April Fools' Day.
    • Later seasons would follow the same trend of starting in April, but coincide their respective numbers with the date. Season 2 began on April 2nd, 2013 and Season 3 began on April 3rd, 2021.
  • Season 1 ran for 1 year and 8 months (or 618 days) from April 1st, 2011 to December 8th, 2012.
    • This makes Season 1 the shortest season of the series spanned across time.
  • The intro for Season 1 was altered several different times:
    • In "Sugar Rush" the intro is slowed down and a red filter is applied. The words "Halloween Special" appear under the title.
    • In "4Seeing The Future" MePhone4 is cut off abruptly by the explosion. The words "Under New Hostmanship" appear under the title.
    • In "The Snowdown" a jingle bell is played throughout the intro. The words "Holiday Special" appear under the title.
    • Starting from "Aquatic Conflict" and on, the intro is updated to feature new character poses. The background is also changed to be MePhone4's background.
  • The music for the intro is "Aces High" by Kevin MacLeod. This would continue in Inanimate Insanity II.
  • MePhone4, Taco, OJ and Pickle are the only characters to appear in every single episode of Season 1.
