Brawns, (lack of) brains and burgers^note From Top to Bottom and Left to Right: Quicksand, G4J, 10, Hyper, Adventures, Greeny, Brigid, Khun, PK, Cole, Louie, Razu, Tippers, Logi, Tyce (?), Nicole, Nethr, Planty and Space | Not Pictured: Burger King, Gery, Irish, Vince and Redd

Burger Brawl is a web-animated series created by Gery on 27th September 2020. Its slapstick, low-brow humour, frequent usage of swear words and 2D animation combined with GIS Syndrome is what the Object Show Community calls a joke show. The show had popularized a Sub-Genre in the fandom called "Friend Shows" where the creator's friends use their Objectsonas^note Definition: An object representing the online persona of an OSC member as the contestants in these types of shows.

Eighteen objects were minding their own business when suddenly outta nowhere emerged The Burger King, the mascot from a fast-food franchise of the same name. He was apparently summoned to give a lifetime Burger King gift certificate which he then settles by hosting a competition once everyone began fighting tooth and nail over the certificate. Thus began one more contest down the long line of object shows where only one lucky individual can claim the prize of Burger Brawl

In the recent episodes, Burger King temporarily left the show and was replaced by Gery during the time as well as three debuters, Irish, Vince and Redd, joining the Burger Brawl roster.

Full episodes can be found on the official playlist.

Tropes regarding the show are listed down below:

• A Dog Named "Dog": Since the objects are named after their owners' username, this becomes a rare aversion in an object show. Planty and Quicksand are the only ones who play the trope straight.
• Aerith and Bob: We have a mix of human names, both relatively normal (Nicole, Wes and Cole) and uncommon (Tyce and Razu), basic object names (Planty and Quicksand), numbers (10 and G4J) and usernames which hardly qualified for actual names (Mofkipz, Nethr, Hyper, etc).
• Alliterative Title: The show has two "B"s in its title
• Ambiguous Situation: Tyce straight up disappears without being eliminated and with nobody knowing his whereabouts. The only clue as to why he left is that PK seemingly had something to do with this, seen when he nervously sweats briefly in episode 3. As it turns out in "I want the weed", PK was a Red Herring since Burger King transformed him into a cardboard cutout for twelve episodes.
• Animate Inanimate Object: If this weren't the case, would you consider this an Object Show?
• Anthropomorphic Food: Granted they aren't named accordingly but it still applies.^note Adventures (Pizza), Cole (Chip bag), Logi (Poptart) and Tippers (Fairy Bread)
• Anyone Can Die: And in very humourous ways too!
• Armless Biped: Five contestants, Khun, Nethr (When hooded), PK, Space and Tippers, play it straight while Planty inverts it.
• Batman Can Breathe in Space: The objects and Burger King go to space several times without the lack of oxygen bothering them.
• The Bus Came Back: A twofer for episode 14 "I want the weed"
  • After abandoning the show and remaining cast in episode 9 for being canceled on Twitter, Burger King angrily comes back when he discovers Gery took his place as the host of Burger Brawl and usurps his position once again. Most of the contestants aren’t pleased with his return.
  • An even longer example with Tyce, the last-placer who mysteriously disappeared in episode 3 and was replaced with a cardboard cutout, when Burger King decides the cutout joke isn't funny anymore and transforms him to his sentient, non-cardboard self.
  Tyce: "It took you that long to bring me back ?!
• Black Bead Eyes: With the exception of Burger King and those with other coloured eyes, everyone sees with standard black eyes without irises.
• Canada Does Not Exist: The opening joke in "Rocking Around the Burger King" has Brigid convincing Cole, a Canadian, about this trope and therefore he shouldn't too. This promptly makes Cole disappear out of existence before 10 brings him back.
• Cluster F-Bomb: The swearing on this show can bring Object Terror to its knees and parallel the likes of Object Redundancy. And it's not just the F-word, "Shit", "Ass", "Bitch" and a plethora of other swear words get as much attention.
• Christmas Episode: "Rocking Around the Burger King" even though it’s not Christmas-centric and released in January which Hyper lampshades in the after-credits. The challenge focuses on a Snowball Fight to the death.
• Death Is Cheap: Through the means of Recovery Sauce, nobody can permanently die in Burger Brawl. "My butt's to blame" reveal major cities have their own community-use recovery centers so the threat of premature death is rendered moot across the world.
• Eject the Loser: A special treat for Space where Burger King doesn't teleport the eliminated contestant like he always does but instead throws them into the vacuum of space.
• Ensemble Cast: The show focuses on the wacky escapades of the sadistic Game Show Host Burger King and his eighteen madcap contestants which slowly increases with the addition of three newbies and tons of extras.
• GIS Syndrome: Characters such as the Burger King and props are taken from internet stock photos and clip art.
• Good Angel, Bad Angel: In "Victory Will Be Mine!" there's a skit of Adventures in this.
• Halloween Episode: Episode 3, appropriately titled "The Night Of Burgerween", where everyone dresses up in costume whilst chased by the murderous Slender Man.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Surrounded by molten lava without a diamond within reach, the original Dryness jumps into the fiery pit in "A New Seed!" to retrieve one for Nethr so he can be safe from elimination before perishing. Nethr is incredibly distraught over his ally's death and still mourns for him to this day.
• In-Joke: Some of the show's humor comes from inside jokes Gery and his circle of friends made. While the jokes may be confusing to those unaware of the meaning, it's still as hilarious as the other jokes from the sheer absurdness and audacity.
• Instrumental Theme Tune: All the intros are subjected to this. The first one is generic techno music, the second is a parody of IDFB's intro, the third takes the music from "Puppy Raceway" and the fourth and fifth uses original music.
• Fingerless Hands: The cast, barring Burger King, Louie, and the armless people, have ball-shaped appendages in place of actual fingers.
• Lava Is Boiling Kool-Aid: Immediately after Quicksand breaks open a magma chamber, the lava floods the entire cave system in seconds while ignoring actual viscosity or physics.
• Medium Blending: Digital 2D animation meets png and stock images on this show.
• No Hugging, No Kissing: Gery makes it clear that there's no romance between contestants on the show and they definitely should not be shipped because they are all based on real-life people, some of which already in relationships that could come and go in time.
• Non-Gameplay Elimination:
  • Tyce mysteriously disappears between episodes 2 and 3, with a cardboard cutout replacing him, and Razu had to take his place in spite of their elimination just last episode. This is due to a real-life undisclosed controversy with the real person based on Tyce had to be written out of the show for a while. Even after his unceremonious return, Tyce wasn't admitted back into the competition considering Razu got eliminated later on and had to claim their previous place of dead-last.
  • Tippers is caught in a surprise double-elimination after her son went too far insulting the host and ended up taking the fall for him since she got the second most votes.
• Share Phrase: Expect Cole to be called a "[Fucking] Airhead" by everyone without prompt. Hyper has also been insulted as a "weeaboo" by both hosts.
• Shout-Out: Enough to fill up its very own page.
• Spin-Off: Following BFDI's example, there are shorts called "Burger Brawl Mini" that are unrelated to the show as they focuses on a different cast. As of 2022, there's been a total of three episodes (That was unfortunately privated from Gery's channel) and is currently on indefinite hiatus.
• Sudden Anatomy: When Nethr gets unhooded in "I listen to the toy!", it's revealed he has arms and a mouth all along which remained that way for 4 episodes.
• Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: How does one distinguish between the guys and girls in an object-driven cast? By adding eyelashes onto the female characters.
• Where the Hell Is Springfield?: As always, the main setting of Burger Brawl takes place on vast, grassy fields in the middle of nowhere.
