Cold open

Two! I think Nickel just died in one of our crazy chain reaction incidents!

Oh wasn't that a little mishap? Not to worry, I'll bring Nickel back!

*Two types BFDI Nickel's name into the recovery center.*

Fear not... I lived!

Hooray! Well that's strange, my Nickel recovery request is still processing.

*II Nickel appears from the recovery center.*

Ugh, I feel like I just got hit by a wall. Huh? This isn't II! Where's MePhone?

"Aye aye"? "Me phone"? Are you some sort of… pirate version of Nickel? Don't worry! I'll find your device, matey!

What? No! I'm THE Nickel from II! And... Who. is. this?

Oobily goobily! I'm the one the only Nickel from BFDI, BFDIA, IDFB, BFB and TPOT!

Wow, you think you got enough letters? I'd like to solve the puzzle.

I'm the real Nickel!

And so am I!

Woah, woah, woah, how did this happen in the first place?

Oh, what a mystery. Who would ever let there be two of us?

Okay, I see how you got there, but I promise I had absolutely nothing to do with this mess. I didn't even really pick this Nickel myself, I just kinda inherited him from the other two.

What? There's another two, too?

*wearing a tutu* No, I only have the one.

Oh! Sorry, I meant the other two hosts. Four and X.

Oh really? You'd think they'd help us?

For sure! I have a great relationship with the both of them!

Hello my friends I have no bad history with. Any idea why there are two Nickels?

Well, Two, as much as I'd hate to help you-

Oh, you mean you'd love to help me!

No! The thought of helping you genuinely makes me very, very upset. But the truth is, I've only known about one Nickel. ...Which actually means I can't help you. Lucky me! Back to vacation!

Yeah! What Four said! But less aggressive, since I'm sympathetic to your situation.

Wowie Cabowie wowie wowie! What do we do now!?

How about you STOP talking like that? You're embarrassing me!

Well holy roly-poly in my ravioli. At least I'm straightforward when I SPEAK!

What!? More like straight-backwards! Backwards nonsense!

No, other Nickel. When I say something off the cuff, like, I don't know, bloopy sloopy sloops! I mean it sincerely. Those words describe my otherwise indescribable elation.

Totally unique to the moment, but you, you're sarcastic, you're rude, and you bury any evidence that you care about ANYTHING!

Wow, that is so accurate. I hate you! You know what? I don't care about you EITHER!

Nickel, I just think you proved all three of his points.

Didn't know you could count that high!

I pity you, II Nickel. You will NEVER be a boyonocerus! Dab on that!

*Gasp*

*Gasp*

That PROVES it! I'll show you that I'm the OG! By asking the most OG host there is.

Oh no. My past demons, back to haunt me.

You REPLACED me, you SNEAKY speaker didn't you! Talk! End the confusion for everybody NOW!

Well, Nickel, when you tried to join the original BFDI you said, well,

Well, I just know I'm going to WIN!

Between that and the little sign you held up about replacing Coiny, it was clear to me that you were a clone with a bad attitude.

Wait, I wrote replace Coiny? I meant EMBRACE Coiny! That's why I was wearing those prosthetic arms that day! For the hug! Sorry, uh, I've had a lot of issues related to spelling.

I don't believe you. Regardless, then I hear word that you're on your own show or something, some other, what do they call it? Item series? Absurd! I guess you figured that if you couldn't replace Coiny, you were going to try and replace all of us.

So, I decided to give you a taste of your own medicine by replacing you. I held auditions for the new Nickel. Turns out, you're a dime a dozen. Haha, Coin word play.

Wow, I never knew how badly you wanted to complete in BFDI! #NotMyNickel.

It's true. I loved BFDI so much I even lied that Nonexisty was my friend despite my real friends at the time, were actually, nonexistent. And then, This Nickel thinks he can steal MY DREAM!

Smiggly smoggly! What do you want from me!

This is my life now! You can't just HAVE IT!

Well, maybe, we can just let there be TWO Nickels?

No! I think that would be redundant.

Oh dear. Looks like there's two ways this conflict could end! Either we can accept we have two different Nickels or we determine the one TRUE Nickel! I guess we could try both, but... That's impossible. Oh well!

Listen, II Nickel. The truth is, I never wanted you on BFDI. Let me put it this way. If BFDI was the greatest circus in the world, you were a- um, you know the person that stands outside of the circus dressed like a clown trying to get in despite not really being part of it?

NO! Actually, I don't!

Exactly. No one does. Because that person has no identity of their own. No individuality. No nothing. An indistinguishable clone.

Gee, tell me how you REALLY feel!

Okay, I will. Today, Nickel, you have shown me that you are not the clone I once thought you to be. Look how different you are from Coiny, or even other Nickel. Far more than I ever realized, you are not an identical clone. Nickel, you're a, uh, fraternal clone. Kind of like mine.

I am the circular floating clone.

And I'm the Cheese Orb!

I still do the thing with the spike balls!

Yes, yes, you do. These weird people still won't leave me alone, and neither will you. But I've accepted that we are forever linked together, because no matter what I do, you will never ever go away. Isn't that just a beautiful thought?

You see Nickels? There doesn't have to be one of you! It's a miracle that's there's two of you!

Yeah and why stop at two Nickels? What if every show had its own coin?

Let's not get carried away! We already have more than enough right here!

Everyone in the area starts laughing. The camera pans to Rusty Coin, who is staring at the two Nickels.

AnimationEpic version

There is only one way to resolve this age old feud. To squash the beef, to break the tie. Get it? Tiebreaker?

Goo Go, Nickel! Oh, wait. That's not specific enough. Go, blingier looking Nickel!

Test Tube Golly glue! They sure are taking their time to break this tie, huh!

Sorry, everyone. It's just, these kinds of fine motor skills are a little tricky without hands.

Tell me about it. It also feels like a waste to rip these snazzy neckties apart.

You're right! Let's try them on!

They both put their neckties on.

You know, maybe we're not so different.

Of course you're not so different! You're both talking nickels. What kind of lesson is this?

Fan Well, maybe it's to not get so caught up in your differences that you lose sight of just how similar you are!

Oh, I think I get the idea! You see, Nickel and Nickel, you're not to odds, you two of a kind!

Wow! In that case, does that mean I could maybe, uh, fill in for Nickel on TPOT? Just for a day?

Wow, that's definitely not allowed, but let's all cheer anyway!

Book, Announcer, Four, Nickel, Nickel, Goo, Test Tube, and Fan YEAH!

Fan How did we even get here?

Meetup announcement

Scene cuts to real life

Here? Wait, where is here?

Silly Coiny, here is at the BFDI and Inanimate Insanity 2023 Experience.

Oh my gosh!

What?!

And unlike last time, this time we will have two, count them two locations!

Woah!

Yay!

So where's the first one gonna be?

Well the first one happens to be at the Saban Media Center in Los Angeles.

Alright alright pretty cool. Where's the second one gonna be?

Scene cuts to Gerald W. Lynch Theater

It's right here at Gerald W. Lynch Theater in New York City.

WHOOOOAAAAAA!!! We're in New York!

-square!

Scene cuts to the background and text: What's different this year?

So I hear it's called an experience this year, what's different?

Air conditioning, for one.

That's right, it's not necessarily a meet-up this year, it is the BFDI and Inanimate Insanity 2023 Experience, and what it's going to be, it's going to be in an actual theater for a live premiere of two brand new TPOT and Inanimate Insanity Invitational episodes! But not only that, there's also going to be a Q&A with the team, as well as a photo op with your favorite characters!

And we'll also be selling exclusive merch! #2Plush.

You guys are all wondering what it was, this is what it is! And not only that, we also got the Nickel plush! (in Nickel's voice) And Nickel is the only character to be on both BFDI AND Inanimate Insanity! And my voice hurts.

Scene cuts to the background and text: Why the change?

So last year we had a meetup event that was amazing, thousands of you came down to meet us, but unfortunately with the meetup we can only talk to each one of you for like thirty seconds to a minute. You don't have a lot of interpersonal time, so this year we thought, what a better way to do this? Entertain thousands of you at once potentially to have a live screening right here, in an actual theater. It's amazing.

And fully air-

Scene cuts to the background and text: Tickets

So this time around we're gonna have three types of tickets, just to cater to each person's specific needs. The first type's gonna be the general ticket, where you get to see a live screening of two new episodes, one from Inanimate Insanity, one from TPOT, never before seen, but you also get to see a live Q&A with us on stage, and some other shenanigans that have yet to be announced.

And if you don't wanna stick around for the whole Q&A, we also have a screening-only ticket, where you can come down, watch the two episodes, be on your merry way.

Finally, there's the VIP ticket, where you'll be seated in the first few rows of the screening, and you'll be able to meet us, the show's creators.

Woo! Here we are.

Yeah! Spots are limited!

Scene cuts to the background and text: Thank you. After that, we cut to the 2022 crossover meetup.

And lastly, I just wanna thank the viewers again for just giving us so much support over the years. It's really crazy to think that this really started as just a side hobby for all of us in middle school, and, you know, we started from some very casual meetups 4 or 5 years ago (scene cuts to the 2017 Anaheim meetup, then back to the Saban Media Center), and now we're here.

We've hopefully got thousands of you coming out to see these shows. It really means the world that you're supporting us so, we'll see you there, at the BFDI and Inanimate Insanity 2023 Experience. See ya there! (in Nickel's voice) Nickel says bye! Ahh!

Bye everyone!

(in Two's voice) Bye guys!

(in X's voice) Bye!

(in Nickel's voice) We'll see you there soon!
