Subgenres[edit | edit source]
- Joke genre: Simply put, a parody of what the competitional genre works. They mostly are made as a joke with memes and other stuff such as poorly cropped images. Some object shows do have low-quality images, a style of the joke genre, but they are not officially a joke show.
- Plot genre: Between the Competitional and non-competitional genre, it contains a story waiting to be either clear or needed to be theorized, often being creepy or shocking with plot twists.
- Friend genre: The most rare subgenre in the Competitional genre, where the creator of an object show uses his friends objectsonas or original characters (OCs) and uses them for their own object show. An infamous example is Greeny's Grand Game.
