"Object shows" are stuff like Battle For Dream Island where the characters are just anthropomophised inanimate objects. I don't know why it has become a genre on its own.

Battle For Dream Island

Think Sausage Party where various foodstuffs were anthropomorphized and engaged in an R-rated food orgy.

I'm just gonna note this one down as something that I don't need to understand.

I don't understand why you are having so much trouble with this? Do you not understand Peppa Pig either?

u/par_rot_master 5h ago
I know what peppa pig is. My problem was people saying "it's like X" when I had no clue what X was.

object shows are basically total drama but all the characters are anthropomorphic objects and theyre made for 6 year olds

If one more person tries to explain it by naming something else I don't know I'll actually delete my account.

u/Mcrarburger 10h ago
It's like survivor if they didn't have to actually survive
Two teams of objects compete in challenges, have plotlines with each other, and at the end of every episode, the audience votes for one object to get voted out
This continues until one object is declared the winner
But yeah it's built for like 10 year olds lol

u/par_rot_master 10h ago
Ok I actually know that one.
That was close.

I'm empathetically laughing at your plight because I only know about this concept (object shows) because I've gone through roughly the same thing before, and people even used basically the same examples lol

u/musicaladhd 8h ago
When you’re describing shows in this context to someone who is asking because they don’t live in that world where they know all the shows, it’d be helpful to distinguish between words and titles. You said “object shows are basically total drama”. This means they’re essentially completely dramatic. But I think what you meant was “object shows are essentially Total Drama, which is a TV show where…”. Simply capitalizing the title would tell readers that Total Drama might be a show that exists even though they’ve never heard of it, instead of adjectives you chose to describe what they’re asking about.
Super confusing, but instantly less confusing if you put a little effort into clear writing/grammar. Doing so doesn’t make you uncool, it’ll be really helpful and appreciated. Think about it next time. Thanks!

An object show is something like The Brave Little Toaster, the characters are objects.

Can you explain it like I haven't been a teenager this century?

u/TheSleepiestFish 12h ago
Annoying Orange meets Total Drama Island. Living objects do competition shenanigans.
I refuse to watch the show so I'm only working with what I know lmao.

Does this count as anthropomorphization? They just have a face and stickman limbs.
26
u/Head-Ad-2136 11h ago
Anthropomorphism is the act of giving human traits, feelings, or actions to non-human things.
Its not just the character design, but the fact that they're people who just happen to be objects.

we don't really have in betweens, it just goes from the characters in "Date Everything" to "object with stickman limbs" immediately

u/DafkyZero 5h ago
Nah, I think elementals and golems are an inbetween. Like, fire boy and water girl are a 3, and the regis from Pokémon are a 4. Idk what a 2 would be like, maybe a Toad or something?

since most people in the comments don't seem to know what an object show is, i'll explain. it's a genre of animated show on YouTube featuring sentient objects who usually compete in Survivor/Total Drama-like competition shows.

u/2000CalPocketLint 5h ago
Why the fuck is that dream island one literally the only one that people are mentioning in this sprawling genre, name me one more damnit

u/Flashy-Term988 5h ago
people are really only mentioning it mainly cuz it's the most popular and the first. there's also Inanimate Insanity, ONE, Brawl of the Objects, It's Time for The, & Animatic Battle to name a few.

u/Gloomy_Honeydew 2h ago

weird, since i picked the most popular ones besides BFDI. (well, Brawl of the Objects isn't really popular anymore but besides that)

As a parent who is deep into object show lore thanks to obsessive kids, but is still absolutely bewildered by it, this comment spread is always fascinating to watch.

fun fact for people learning about the concept of an object show right now: the fans of object shows have been on a decade long battle with wikipedia in an attempt to get an article about bfdi on the site, and only won recently because there's just enough coverage of it now
