Clash Island - TV Tropes

  • ️Sun Feb 16 2025

Clash Island is a Web Animation series by Jesse Ilg that serves as a parody of Total Dramanote , with a twist that all of the contestants are real-life internet celebrities. With Markiplier as their host, the contestants are all taken to an island and placed into teams, consisting of:

The Ridiculous Redditors

The Cringe Commenters

On each episode, the teams compete in two challenges. Unlike the series it was based on, however, both of them are elimination challenges, meaning two contestants would be voted off the island, with the last remaining winning the grand prize of one million dollars.

The pilot was released on YouTube on February 14th, 2025.

Tropes:

  • Content Warnings: The pilot starts with this one:

    ”The following show contains parodies of real-life internet celebrities; these animated versions of them don’t represent their real life thoughts and opinions, don’t be a dumbass.
    Also this show contain[s] strong language not intended for a younger audience, so if your parents come at us with some bullshit about being a cartoon and swearing, that’s on you, kid.”

  • Four-Fingered Hands: Lampshaded by Barbara in the first confessional after her failed attempt at a group high-five:

    Barbara: What happened to the team high-five? More like high-FOUR, am I right? Seriously, we call it a high-five, but we only have four fingers on our hands? What’s that about?

  • No, You: When Mousey panics about falling off the giant golf club machine, Connor tells her to calm down before she fires back with “No, YOU calm down!”
  • Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: Connor and Mousey, respectively, much like their real-life counterparts.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: Upon realizing that he signed up to go on a deserted island with only a chance that he’d win $1 million when he could’ve just stayed at home and guaranteed earning that much by streaming, xQc tries to bail out on the competition, only for Mark to goad him into staying.
  • Shout-Out: Before Charlie makes his swing in the golf challenge, he yells out, “To infinity and beyond!”
  • Too Much Information: After getting launched by the the golf machine, MeatCanyon assures everyone that he’s alright, but then goes on to tell about how he threw up in his mouth because of it, swallowed it, then shit himself. Mark, Carter, and Chief are all visibly disgusted by this.
