Uhhh, that sounds awesome! What are we waiting for?
"MEET THE OTHER YOU" (formerly known as "DON'T LICK THE COUNTERPARTS"), also known as "Inanimate Insanity SEASON 4!?" on the AnimationEpic channel, is an announcement video that was released on April 4, 2025, about The BFDI and Inanimate Insanity 2025 Tour, an event of six meetups happening across the United States.
NOTE: Characters with an asterisk indicate they only appear in the Jacknjellify upload of the video. Characters with two asterisks only appear in the AnimationEpic upload.
Tennis Ball gathers Balloony, Fanny, Taco, Bomby, and Nickel to the hotel roof to show off his latest invention, Fanny tries to say that she hates scientific breakthroughs but is confused that Tennis Ball views her and everyone else as his best friends, which Balloony and Taco share. Balloony wonders if Golf Ball's invitation got "lost in the mail again", however Tennis Ball states that she had jury duty to attend to. Bottle asks about Pen, and Tennis Ball states he's the one on trial. Bomby tries to ask about TV, however is interrupted by Tennis Ball, stating how he built a portal to connect alternate universes.
Nickel thinks this is cool, like when he and Tennis Ball jumped around time with the Yoylite. Black Hole heard this while he was fixing the crack in the sky, and angrily questioned Nickel before Tennis Ball interrupts again. The latter states it's different this time, stating how they'll be able to see a different timeline from theirs. Black Hole wonders if it's a good idea due to the events of "Seasonal Shift", however Bottle tells him to relax, and Tennis Ball thinks that this will fix the problem. Balloony and Taco think this will be cool, and Taco immediately starts the laser.
During the connection[]
Some of the Inanimate Insanity characters emerge from the portal. Test Tube greets Tennis Ball, however the latter is unsure of whether Test Tube is his counterpart, since she's not a ball. They then both say their favorite law of physics to confirm it, which is the law of conservation of linear momentum. Test Tube then compares them to looking at a round fuzzy mirror.
II Nickel is upset that there's two Test Tubes now, and BFDI Nickel states there's two nickels, and it's nice to see him again. II Nickel is upset to to see him, but BFDI Nickel states it's 100% real. The former interprets it as taking Nickel's place for TPOT, but the latter denies it and walks away.
Lightbulb talks to herself about having one nickel for every nickel she had, in which she would have $10. However, she states that Black Hole owes her money, however Black Hole doesn't know who she is. Lightbulb thinks that Black Hole is playing dumb, and Bottle joins in the conversation. Test Tube and Tennis Ball both state that it would break the laws of physics for Black Hole to pay Lightbulb.
Fan looks at Fanny, amazed at seeing a technologically advanced version of himself. The former states that he loves crossovers, however Fanny states that she hates crossovers. Fan is bewildered, however states that BFDI and II have different premises, however Fanny hates Inanimate Insanity. Fan is shocked, stating that the show isn't perfect but still food. Fanny angrily interrupts, blowing Fan away.
Balloony attempts to save Fan, however, since he's a balloon, he falls slowly. Balloon says that Balloony is really a different version of him. The former snaps at the latter, stating how they're nothing alike, as Balloony's voice is smooth while Balloon's is squeaky, Balloony is green while Balloon is a hideous pink, and Balloon doesn't even have a string. Balloon attempts to get Balloony, but also falls very slowly.
Taco talks to II Taco, and tries to get her to guess what number is the former thinking of, as BFDI Taco thinks that II Taco is a clone of her. The latter doesn't think that's how it works. The latter apologizes for being too harsh, and trying not to be something, however is cut off by BFDI Taco, who interprets the latter's words as "not two", which is correct. BFDI Taco asks if II Taco is also considered a traitor, and II Taco is shocked on how BFDI Taco knows that. II Taco talks about all the things she did in II, however BFDI Taco states that her situation was simply a misunderstanding.
Bomby greets Bomb, however the latter doesn't know what Bomby is talking about. Bomby also doesn't know what Bomb is talking about. They both stare at each other until Bomb suggests to drink a purple liquid he found, which Bomby accepts. They drink it and turn purple, similarly to Bomby's prize in "Intruder Alert".
Test Tube notices the crack in reality, and she questioned if someone time traveled and messed with the past. Tennis Ball is about to explain, however Nickel cuts him off. Test Tube gives Tennis Ball her notes about repairing space-time phenomenon.
Test Tube tells the II crew that it's time to go back to their world, and everyone agrees. Fan says goodbye to Fanny, and Fanny shakes hands with him, despite what happened previously. Lightbulb is sad that everyone else got to meet an alternate version of themself except Lightbulb. Bottle cheers him up, stating how there's someone that's just like her: yellow and "made of glass". The person is Yellow Face. (Bottle is the real answer because she's made of glass.)
After the connection[]
The II contestants go back to their world, however BFDI Nickel is transported instead of II Nickel. Balloony and Taco are happy that their counterparts are gone, and Nickel, who is from II, is happy too. However, Bomby feels that something is off with him. II Nickel attempts to act like BFDI Nickel, and the contestants believe him.
However, Bomby remembers that Nickel was eliminated in TPOT 10, so Bomby needs to send him to Four. II Nickel tries to get Bomby to stop, but to no avail, and II Nickel is sent to the EXIT. Four simply blinks at this.
Tennis Ball remembers and attempts to tell Bomby that he was eliminated in TPOT 12, however Bomby pushes him off the hotel to his death. Everyone stares in horror. Bomby asks if anyone has a problem with what he did, and the contestants, still in horror, shake their heads.
AnimationEpic's version[]
Before the connection[]
Test Tube gathers II Nickel, II Taco, Balloon, Fan, Bomb, and Lightbulb to her bunker to show off her latest invention. Bomb points out that II Nickel sent him to get a stapler, Balloon points out that II Nickel sent him to look for Bomb when he never got the stapler. Lightbulb tells them to stop talking. Test Tube said that after Steve Cobs' assassination, she'd normally invent a cloning process so that they could continue to eat his corpse. Fan tells Test Tube to never call Cobcorn that again. But II Taco says that his corpse really is delicious. Test Tube said that next, she'd harvest Cobs' mind as well, since they raided MeCloud's archives as well, so Test Tube has been researching ways to recreate Meeple technology. Balloon asks if they should keep calling it "Meeple technology" since they're reclaiming it, he asks if they should rename it to "Weeple technology". Fan says they should rename it to "Ourple", Lightbulb says that she wants to rename it to "Us-ple". Test Tube says that she'd name it to "shut up-ple", as a result of people interrupting her speech. Test Tube said that she created a portal, like the kind MePhone4 used to make, but this time, Test Tube made it so that it'd allow them to visit another parallel universe. Lightbulb asks them if they go back to Inanimate Insanity Infinity, and that if they do, II Black Hole still owes her $10. Test Tube says that Inanimate Insanity Infinity was an alternate timeline, and the alternate universe is the one they'd be crossing over to. Fan asks if this is another crossover, and Test Tube says yes. She's hoping they'd meet alternate versions of them, so as guests in the new universe, Test Tube reminds them to remember the science rules. Bomb accidentally drank the same purple potion Bomby drank in Intruder Alert. Balloon is upset about the catchphrases in rule number 3. Lightbulb licks the counter, and it didn't taste the same, so she thinks it was new varnish. Fan says that the setup is unnecessary, he says that the crossovers just got to happen on the show, and Test Tube is okay with that, and so he starts the portal. II Nickel asks wheres the stapler, but they already went to another universe, so he went also.
During the connection[]
Same events as "MEET THE OTHER YOU".
After the connection[]
The II contestants go back to their universe. Test Tube thanks them for making contact with their alternate versions. Bomb is glad that he finally found a stapler, which is Stapy. Balloon and Bomb run off with Stapy, and Test Tube gets ready to wrangle up the "idiots" with Fan and Taco. Lightbulb follows along, stating that Stapy owes her $20. Nickel then jumps into the camera view from behind the counter, stating "Shmoggily!", before laughter erupts, coming from an unknown audience.
