Meeple Incorporated are the main antagonists of the animated web series Inanimate Insanity. Founded by Steve Cobs, the company creates advanced electronics such as computers, phones, and tablets. They have also created sentient products such as the MePhones, with each year updating the MePhone designed to terminate the older installment.
History[]
Not much of the early history of Meeple Inc. is known, but Steve Cobs created his first computer in a garage, which likely bought his company to a success.
MePhone4, the first known MePhone in the series, creates a reality show called Inanimate Insanity. Later on, MePhone4S, presumably sent by Cobs, was tasked to kill MePhone4. MePhone5 is later sent to kill both, but eventually failed.
While several MePhones are seen in various episodes, Meeple Inc. was first seen in "Theft and Battery", where Steve Cobs is introduced. It is revealed that MePhone4, alongside the other MePhones work for the company. MePhone6 and MePhone6+ are the security guards of the headquarters, though they fail to halt the contestants.
In MePhone4's memories, it is revealed Steve Cobs has abused MePhone4 during his time working at the company. This reveal has caused MePhone4 to fire Toilet thanks to the latter believing he works at Meeple Inc.
In the season finale, the fate of the Meeple Inc. is left in the air after Steve Cob's death. It is likely either that it without a new leader that the company was left to ruin in bankruptcy or that someone else in the company (presumably either MePhone4 or MePhone3GS) took Cobs place. However given how Cobs mentioned the degrading popularity of the company's products, the former option is more likely.
Products[]
MePhones[]
MePhones are a series of anthropomorphic phones designed to be Steve Cob's henchmen, with each installment being more powerful than their predecessor, and is programmed to terminate their predecessor. MePhones also have applications, such as Meeple Maps.
Other sentient electronics[]
A tablet known as "MePad" exists, though he is the only installation of it. In addition, sentient computers like MeBook and Mecintosh exist as well.
Trivia[]
- Meeple Inc. is an obvious parody of the technology company, Apple.
- It is also a parody of Skynet from the Terminator franchise, at least in the case of MePhone4S.
