1''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjK_TkKsYOwQ8pV2i03_NzyvGXWPOtsQ6 Race To The Mansion Of Tomorrow]]'' (25/6/2018 – present) by [[https://www.youtube.com/spicevipe Spicevipe]] is an animated {{slapstick}} Website/YouTube series. It's considered a semi-{{Object Show|s}} as the show centers around a competition show featuring sentient object-like characters.
2
3Twelve different people get invited to compete for a mansion called Boyer Mansion and are allowed to bring one other person to help them. However, the mansion hides a secret and even some of the competitors suspect something is wrong.
4!!Tropes
5* TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: While the characters are animated in 2D, the tall tower is 3D in ''Chicken Tech Inc''.
6* AbsurdlyLongStairway: When the competitors arrive to the mansion they first have to climb up on a very long staircase on a mountain in ''Rabbit Garden''.
7* AmusingInjuries: Samantha and [=BonBon=] get run over by the competition's bus in ''Nasty City'' with visible broken bones to boot.
8* AnthropomorphicFood: Few characters are these along with the [[ADogNamedDog dog named dog]] trope being also used; AJ (Apple Juice), OJ (Orange Juice), Molasses, and Peanut. Exceptions are Old Man Ice (an icecream cone) and Breadman (a slice of bread).
9* AuthorAvatar: A few of the characters are actually the original characters of some of those that worked on the show, especially Breadman, who's actually the main OC of Spicevipe, the show creator.
10* TheButlerDidIt: ZigZagged in ''Chicken Tech Inc''. [[spoiler:[[EnfantTerrible Oliver]]]] manages to blow up a whole building, Sochiebot asks who the culprit is and Peanut shows a photo of a shadow at the crime scene that looks like one of Sochiebot's butlers, Tropica, thus leaving everyone else to believe he is the culprit.
11* ButtMonkey: Horns has a tendency to be on the receiving end of any failure in the series, even receving a five-hour penalty for something he didn't even do in ''Rabbit Garden''.
12* ChainOfDeals: OJ's team in ''Nasty City'' asks a random stranger where a monster is located. The stranger will only ask them if they give them a Bitcoin from some other stranger. This eventually spirals out of control.
13* DisproportionateRetribution: Peanut tells Sochiebot Molasses is the cause why his topiary got ruined. Sochiebot [[spoiler:shoots Molasses to the moon as punishment]] in ''Rabbit Garden'' and Peanut has instant regret.
14* ADogNamedDog: AJ (Apple Juice), OJ (Orange Juice), Molasses, and Peanut.
15* {{Expy}}: Soskoa intentionally looks similar to Videogame/{{Parappa}}'s hat in ''Chicken Tech Inc''. His mug even includes an edit of Parappa's sprite (edited to look, of course, like Soskoa on it.)
16* EnfantTerrible: [[spoiler:Oliver WouldHarmASenior and his goal is revealed to be blow up the entire Chicken Tech Inc because it has records of his previous crimes, by doing so he can finally set himself free]] in ''Chicken Tech Inc''.
17* FelonyMisdemeanor: [[spoiler: One of the records on Oliver's crimes include him cutting in line in first grade.]]
18* FloorboardFailure: Done to an ''entire bus'' in ''Nasty City.''
19* HopeSpot: The competition bus slows down before hitting an open manhole in ''Nasty City,'' allowing the competitors some relief. [[FloorboardFailure Then the road gives.]]
20* IcePerson: Old Man Ice can freeze anyone to defend himself in ''Chicken Tech Inc''.
21* InstantlyProvenWrong:
22-->'''[=BonBon=]:''' We may seem sketchy, but you can trust us, we're harmless!
23-->''A fly flies near Samantha''
24-->'''Samantha:''' EW! A BUG!
25-->''Samantha proceeds to [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill shoot it three times with a pistol]]''
26* MalevolentArchitecture: The stairs leading up to Boyer Mansion have lamp poles ''built on the stairs,'' making it less safe to run across the already far-too-long stairway. This is even {{lampshaded}} by Rhombus.
27* OverlyPreparedGag: [[spoiler:Part of Old Man Ice's fight against Fishy in ''Chicken Tech Inc'' was actually seen in ''Jimothy finds a Cupcake 2,'' released over a year before that episode was actually released.]]
28* ShoutOut: Website/{{Scratch}} Cat shows up as a judge in ''Rabbit Garden''.
29* StylisticSuck: Gerob is a simple three dimensional creature with stick limbs and a poorly modeled head with three faces. He's the only contestant that's rendered in 3D in the show, and his house is equally mangled, being a disjointed stack of cubes with some flipped normals.
30* UnexplainedRecovery: Characters often get critically injured, especially AJ and OJ due to being made of glass, but they always seem to be fine right in the very next scene.
