Paintbrush is transgender or genderfluid.
Will probably be mentioned somewhere in Season 2.- Confirmed. They're non-binary, and therefore transgender.
Marshmallow will be disqualified in Episode 12
Due to her deciding to quit the show and live with Bow in Purgatory Mansion and MePhone announcing she will be eliminated if she does not return, it's more likely than not that this will be the case.- Confirmed.
Suitcase will be sent to a mental hospital in a future episode.
Her hallucinations become so bad that it drives her to harm (or attempt to kill) herself, and Mepad sends her to a mental hospital. MePhone4 will have a mental breakdown in the episode, and he will start to cry and think it's his fault. Nickel is crying too, and he keeps saying "I'm sorry" to Suitcase, even though she isn't there.Lightbulb is a transgender girl, and there'll be a character arc about it.
Since she was referred to as a boy in Episodes 1 and 2 of Season 1, but referred to as a girl after, she may be transgender. Another supporting point is that her wires changed shape, which may be an illusion to a sex change. The character arc will be about Lightbulb breaking down after being called a boy instead of a girl, and it will explore transgender issues.- Creators have confirmed that the gender change was only to balance the genders of the characters, but technically, it could still count as her being a transgender woman.
- Confirmed by Brian Koch in a livestream
Taco will betray Microphone in a future episode, or vice versa.
Confirmed.Meeple is a cult.
MePhone4 was abused by Cobs.
He seems to look scared when he sees Paintbrush's painting in Episode 12.- Confirmed.
Knife and/or Fan will get more Character Focus in Episode 13.
- Confirmed.
MePhone4S will come back in Episode 13.
- Despite the fact that Lightbulb and Test Tube fixed the timeline after Lightbulb messed it up, there still might be a slight change to the timeline. A hole in the timeline will happen, which will summon MePhone4S from an other dimension where he was after he downgraded, and cause him to come out of a portal. A possible line for the situation will be:MePhone4S: LIGHTBULB, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! I'M NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE ALIVE ANYMORE!
- Jossed. He did not appear, although his paperwork does in one of MePhone's flashbacks.
MePhone4 will have a flashback in Episode 13
- The flashback might contain him as a child, with the other mephones (also children) making fun of him for having no shockwave mouth or sunglasses.
- Confirmed. Mephone4 did have a flashback, but the idea of the other mephones making fun of him is Jossed.
One of the characters will become a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds.
I'm betting either Baseball or Microphone. I dunno.- Jossed. Baseball calms down after episode 13 and Microphone splits up from Taco.
Nickel's having offscreen Character Development at Hotel OJ.
- Okay, now I'm beginning to doubt this one. He seems to be as bitchy as ever according to the comics.
- The first episode of the third season shows that Nickel decides to help Balloon when he floats in midair after jumping off the cliff.
- Jossed for the offscreen part, but he does redeem himself and is forgiven by Balloon.
The characters (sans the Meeple products) are actually results of an experiment on giving inanimate objects life similar to that of The Island of Doctor Moreau.
Sounded cool in my head...MePhone5C is a trans woman.
- It seems a little off to have a cis females be in the middle of a product line of cis males. Cobs programmed MePhone5C to be a boy, but she wanted to be a girl. I wouldn't be surprised if this was confirmed, since we already have 2 canon nonbinary characters in the show.
Baseball is a Yandere for Nickel.
Okay, okay, I might be overreacting, but despite the fact Suitcase had a good reason to vote Nickel off, Baseball seems the most scornful to her, most likely to murderous tendencies judging by the facial expressions. Now, I know Baseball and Nickel are great friends, but remember that Nickel is a massive Jerkass, and it just so seems Baseball is blinded by his (platonic or not) love for him to notice. Not to mention earlier in season 2 Baseball becomes uncomfortably close to Nickel at one point
. Not to mention Baseball kicked Knife powerfully just for calling him fat. Who knows what Baseball could do to Suitcase?!.- Jossed. Test Tube helps him calm down, and when he runs into Suitcase, he decides not to talk with her so he can let her focus on the challenge.
Whatever laid the martian egg in "Marsh On Mars" will come to Earth and go after Fan and Test Tube.
Haven't any of you seen Chicken Little?! That egg definitely belonged to something, and I don't think it would be happy about Fan taking its child without its consent...- Confirmed.
Humans who died were reincarnated into the objects.
I know, I know. Theories like this have been done to death. But I thought it was fun.Now, as for why Bow and Dough come back as ghosts, that’s because the magic could only reincarnate them into something once. Therefore, they’re just ghosts now. Now as of how they died:- For Season 1, Knife was a biker who was stabbed, Marshmallow fell onto a campfire, Baseball was a baseball player who was denied medical treatment due to doctors blaming everything on his weight, Lightbulb was an electrician with Pica who gave into impulses and ate an electrical appliance, Paintbrush was an artist who flew into a rage that got them killed by someone in self-defense, Balloon died of asphyxiation from inhaling helium, OJ drowned, Apple was a farmer who suffered a brain disease, Bomb died in an explosion, Nickel was a banker whose head was cracked open by falling onto a safe, Paper was an office worker who suffered a really bad papercut, Bow was a stylist who was strangled by a ribbon, Salt and Pepper suffered dehydration, Pickle was stabbed through an eye, Taco was a waitress at a Mexican restaurant who choked on a lemon.
- Regarding Season 2, The Cherries were conjoined twins that died before birth, Suitcase was a traveler who got cut open by a hippo in Africa, Trophy was an athlete who used steroids, Test Tube was a scientist who died in a lab accident, Yin-Yang committed suicide due to bipolar disorder, Tissues was a doctor who caught Ebola, Cheesy was a loathed comedian who was beaten by his hecklers, Microphone was a metal singer whose vocal chords were gruesomely and crudely ripped out when she got nodules, Fan was cyberbullied to suicide by a hatedom, Soap was a cleaning lady who accidentally ingested a cleaning product, Box was a stillbirth, and Dough died in a baking accident.
- As for the Invitational contestants, Cabby was a secretary that was crushed to death by a fallen file cabinet, Blueberry was a suicidally depressed man that intentionally triggered an fatal allergic reaction to blueberries, Candle was a hippie that burned to death after leaving a candle near a curtain, Clover was murdered and thrown into a field of clovers to rot, Goo was a child that choked to death on slime, Lifering was a lifeguard that drowned trying to save someone else, Silver Spoon was a celebrity that was accidentally killed by paparazzi, Tea Kettle was scalded to death by boiling water, and The Floor was buried alive.
One of Paintbrush's parents is a torch.
That would explain why their bristles catch fire when they get really angry.The series finale will have a "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue.
The final episode will be a Bittersweet Ending.
Judging from the Cerebus Syndrome, I'm pretty sure it would... or...The final episode will be a full-blown Downer Ending.
Marshmallow is an Eldritch Abomination.
Remember when she manipulated gravity at a couple points in season 1? Marshmallows don't do that. Not to mention she can also apparently heal from being burned to death without MePhone having to revive her...Nickel and Nick-Le are brothers, and they're both human-object hybrids.
This may seem a little weird, but I have evidence. Remember how Nickel defecated on Baseball's head in Episode 2? And how humans defecate? This might be a bit of evidence that Nickel is half human.And proof that Nick-Le is half-object? He is shown to be able to hide his limbs (they aren't shown in episode 5 until he says "I'm highly offended"), which many objects do. (example of objects hiding their limbs is in Episode 7, Sugar Rush where MePhone4S explains the challenge)
MePhone4 is a vegetarian.
He only eats cookies, which do not contain meat. He refused to eat the Grand Slams' pizza in episode 4, which contained meat. The Bright Lights' pizza was meat free.- I'm pretty sure there were other reasons he didn't eat the Grand Slams' pizza, but this guess is still plausible.
In Episode 14/15, MePhone4 will attempt suicide.
His mental state has seemed to be declining as of when he gets his memories of Cobs back. It's very possible that those memories will overwhelm him, and that he will attempt suicide. However, it wouldn't be likely to be suicide by hanging or another real method of suicide. I think that he will upgrade himself, but the upgrade will fail or glitch.- He could shoot himself, as phones can be destroyed by being shot.
- Jossed.
The condishawn isn't actually contagious.
It is a genetic chronic illness. Those who "get it" are actually fooled by the nocebo effect.- If it was a genetic chronic illness, that would imply there's object generations and I don't really know about that but there could be?
- Cobs mentions having parents (that he doesn't talk to anymore) in Theft and Battery, and there's a discussion of Cabby's parents in Spring On The Breakfast, so presumably there are?
- If it was a genetic chronic illness, that would imply there's object generations and I don't really know about that but there could be?
Possible scenarios if MePhone4S comes back
.- His resurrection will be unwanted by him.
- His memory will be wiped, and will be in a slightly childish state of mind, not unlike MePhone4 in his flashbacks.
- He will be confused about the world, and go around the island screaming and going crazy. He will grab Suitcase by her handle and ask "ARE YOU A GIRL OR A GIRLIE MAN?!"
Fan And Cobs Will Return In Episode 14
A promotional image released on Easter depicts the egg laying on the ground with Test Tube, Fan, and Cobs' shadows standing over it; possibly foreshadowing that they (Cobs and Fan) will have a major role in the episode. Think about it.- Fan returns, but Cobs' does not. So this is semi-Jossed
Possible scenarios if the egg hatches in episode 14.
- The creature that layed the egg will come after Fan and Test Tube.
- Confirmed.
- If Test Tube isn't able to tame the creature, it will run amok and attack everyone, resulting in Test Tube being rejected by the others or disqualified by MePhone4, unless, of course, they're smart enough to know it technically wasn't her fault.
- Confirmed. Well, sort of. The creature(s) don't run amok, though they do abduct Fan, and Test Tube isn't rejected by the other contestants, but she is still eliminated.
- The egg hatches, revealing another egg inside.
- Jossed.
- Test Tube (and possibly Lightbulb) attempt to hide the creature but fail.
- Jossed.
Episode 14 will end on a cliffhanger.
- Jossed.
- Ultimately confirmed actually, as Mephone 4 starts season 3 and finishes it before Episode 15 of Season 2 happens, putting the season itself on a cliffhanger for almost 4 years.
Test Tube was Evil All Along.
Test Tube works For Cobs.
The MePhone seen at the end of Hatching the Plan is a MePhoneX.
- It displays an X on its screen, and also, it has physical characteristics similar to the real iPhone X (no button at the bottom of the screen, and the black region at the top of the screen is pretty small).
- Confirmed. See their most recent Q&A.
Episode 15 Will Revolve Around Lightbulb.
- The episode will focus on her loneliness and struggle to interact with the other contestants since all of her closest friends are gone.
Inanimate Insanity takes place in the future.
- As the theory suggests, the show takes place in the far future. Man-kind has been wiped out by a nuclear fallout; but dispite it's race-killing distruction, started new life (the objects, which were mutated). As time goes by, the earth recovers, and these new "creatures" gain intellegence and build their own society. Meeple is the new Apple, Steve Cobs is the new Steve Jobs, and so on.
Episode 15 or 16 will be a two-parter.
- Just like the final episode of season one (ep.18; Journey Through Memory Lane) the final episode (ep. 16) of II 2 will be split into two episodes, or episode 15 will be split, leading up to the finale. Hopefully it won't be another 2 years until we find out.
In the first season, Taco, Paper, and Balloon are likely the object versions/caricatures of Ed, Edd n Eddy
- While the characters aren't a trio, they show resemblance in personality.
- Taco is The Ditz (even if she was faking it), which is Ed.
- Paper is the quirky effeminate nerd, which is Edd.
- Balloon is the manipulative Eddy, forcing his team to do certain things.
MePhone2G will appear in Episode 15.
- She (That's right, a Samus Is a Girl situation), unexpectedly, is still alive and on the run.
MePhone5C and MePhone5S were forced to be married by Cobs.
They don't actually love each other and Cobs hired a corrupt pastor to marry them.Bow found another vessel for her spirit
Which is how she comes back in Season 3- Nope. It was actually a robot replica.
AJR's "I'm Not Famous" and Lightbulb relate to eachother.
- As my theory suggests, Lightbulb is aware of her popularity, but doesn't worry too much about it since she's not treated much like a 'star'. When she went to the Alternate Reality Universe, she was overrun with attention that she wasn't used to. This made her realize her worth: she's popular but not treated like it.
Now to match the song:
"Where my haters, where my haters?I don't got none, I'm not famous, no."
Lightbulb is liked by a majority of the fandom, and rarely has any hate given towards her.
"It don't matter what my name is.I don't got one. I'm not famous no."
She's notoriously known as the "fan favorite" of the show, but seemingly obvious.
"Nobody judges me. Cause I'm not famous, no."
Related to verse 1.
"Paparazzi is at an all time low. Paparazzi, they don't care where I go."
The cast is mostly aware of her popularity but doesn't do, nor feel anything. This changed with the alternate reality contestants.
"And I don't hate it, no, and I don't hate it, no. I'm not famous, no."
Lightbulb is most likely aware of being famous but getting no attention, and is fine by it.
(Give the song a listen, to make this theory make more sense.)
Baseball wants/wanted to be a father.
Thus the book he read on Idiotic Island was regarding The Talk. Given he was horrified by the content, however, he's now considering at least just adopting. This also could work given his Big Brother Mentor behavior in season two at the least.Inanimate Insanity Invitational takes place in a computer simulation.
The animation style at the end of Out of Body Experience Part 2, which takes place at Purgatory Mansion, is animated in the 24 FPS of II 2, rather than the 12 FPS used in the main series. This implies that III is, in some way, "outside" of II 2, which is further supported by the lack of any link to the world of II 2. It's possible that III is a computer simulation created by MePhone as an escape from the stress of Cobs returning and the competition in general, with the intent of making the show what he wanted. Ballpoint Pen is a representation of MePhone's insecurities about running away from the present and the future, and his note could be a warning to MePhone that he can't ignore Cobs forever, and he is going to have to face him one day.- Jossed if Invitational's finale is anything to go by.
Yin-Yang will eventually quit in Invitational.
Let's face it, unless Yin-Yang (or another object) does something that'll no longer have the majority of the viewers make Yin-Yang immune again, therefore making the other contestants to vote *him* out he'll be bound to do this...eventually.- The immunity vote has been removed as of episode 12 so it's entirely possible for the contestants to eliminate him
- Jossed, he ends up getting eliminated in episode 15.
MePhone4 will have to realise that he can't keep repressing his emotions
He keeps on trying to delete the memories associated with Cobs, but by doing so, he's only removing the memory files of Cobs, not his emotions. Eventually, he won't be able to handle it anymore, and he'll break down crying. The main timeline verson of MePhone7 along with the MePhone counterpounts of iPhone versions 7+ to 8+ were Killed Offscreen
Given that MePhone5S and 5C weren't that intelligent and MePhone6 and 6+ were killed just by being poked it's not that much of a stretch to say that the following versions were also complete pushovers and that they were never shown on screen because of it. Walkie Talkie was hijacked by someone between the events of "Blue Buried" and "The Show Must Go On"
She didn't really seem to have any bad intentions before TSMGO, and in said episode, the number on her screen changed from "04-03" to "20-33", making it possible that she was hijacked by somebody trying to manipulate MePhone (possibly someone related to Meeple).- Jossed, she maintains the new number even after she does a Heel–Face Turn.
Springy was created by a MePhone
Springy glitching out from time to time resembles the kinds of glitches that the tree MePhone 4 spawned in had when practising his item-spawning abilities in a flashback in "Mine Your Own Business". This ties in with the above theory that it's related to Meeple.- Seemingly Jossed. There’s nothing in the finale that leans towards confirming this theory, and the reasoning for his glitching remains unknown.
The Floor was in on MePhone's plans the entire time
Near the end of "A Jury For Your Fears", after the contestants find out about MePhone's plans for a 4th season, The Floor yells to the other contestants that "it isn't like that anymore, implying that he knew about it beforehand. As for when he found out, it could likely be after "The Great Bluish Bake-Off". Paradise (the island that Invitational takes place on,) is somewhere near Australia.
Considering the implication that The Floor is permanently bound to the island, it could be an In-Universe explanation for his Australian accent.
