## Trivia

* Season 1 was mostly animated with Moho rather than Adobe Flash.
	+ However, the introduction of Adobe Flash Animation is seen in "The Tile Divide", mixed with Moho animation.
* Season 1 began on April 1st, which also coincides with April Fools' Day.
	+ Later seasons would follow the same trend of starting in April, but coincide their respective numbers with the date. Season 2 began on April 2nd, 2013 and Season 3 began on April 3rd, 2021.
* Season 1 was active for 618 days between April 1st, 2011 and December 8th, 2012.
	+ This makes Season 1 the shortest season of the series spanned across time.
* The intro for Season 1 was altered several different times:
	+ In "Sugar Rush" the intro is slowed down and a red filter is applied. The words "Halloween Special" appear under the title.
	+ In "4Seeing The Future" MePhone4 is cut off abruptly by the explosion. The words "Under New Hostmanship" appear under the title.
	+ In "The Snowdown" a jingle bell is played throughout the intro. The words "Holiday Special" appear under the title.
	+ Starting from "Aquatic Conflict" and on, the intro is updated to feature new character poses. The background is also changed to be MePhone4's background.
* The music for the intro is "Aces High" by Kevin MacLeod. This would continue in Inanimate Insanity II.
* MePhone4, Taco, OJ and Pickle are the only characters to appear in every single episode of Season 1.
