Alice and Bob are about to face off in the event of their lives. But, what's this? A new challenger approaches! Alice and Bob have a new competitor, and that new competitor is... ...a rock. Just a rock. This trope is what happens when a competition has one or more competitors who are inanimate. This trope also applies in cases where the competitor is a corpse, but not out of the running. Usually found in comedic works, to give otherwise tense competitions an air of absurdity. Bonus points if the inanimate competitor actually manages to win the contest against the far superior competitors even without doing anything at all. Usually a case of Nothing Is Funnier, particularly if we are shown the result but not how it happened. Compare Animal Athlete Loophole, where the competitor is animate, but not human. If the competitor used to be animate but has since died, this may overlap with Mummies at the Dinner Table. Related to Enmity with an Object. |

In The Mark Remark review of the 2015 "WWE Fastlane" special, one wrestler compares another to a glass of milk. Martin then turned a glass of milk into his personal favorite wrestler. This got to the point where Martin asked his fans who they think should win a match, John Cena or Seth Rollins, and they chose the glass of milk. | |

The Hare and the Pineapple, a memetically infamous short story on a New York eighth-grade English exam, in which a pineapple challenges a hare to a race in a tortoise-and-the-hare allusion. Everyone thinks there is some kind of trick behind it, but there really isn't, and the pineapple really does just sit there and do nothing. | |

The Simpsons: In the episode "Deep Space Homer", Homer is sure he's going to get the "Worker of the Week" award because he's the only person in the power plant who hasn't received the honor at least once already (and union rules say everyone has to win at least once), but instead it's given to an inanimate carbon rod. At the end of the episode, Homer grabs a similar rod and tries to hit a crewman with it, accidentally jamming it into the broken space shuttle door; it's shut tight, allowing a safe atmospheric re-entry and landing, saving the lives of the entire crew. A parade is given to the hero of the space mission... the carbon rod. Bart is a fan of the rod. In the much later episode "C.E.D'oh", a brief glimpse of the power plant's org chart reveals that the inanimate carbon rod is Homer's immediate superior. |

Subverted in Prop Hunt, where the objective is to either find all the players disguised as props or remain undetected by hunters until either time is up or they all kill themselves by shooting too many things that aren't players. The prop players are not strictly inanimate, although the aim is to make the hunters think that they are. | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-1370, an insane but ultimately harmless robot which constantly attempts (and utterly fails) to battle any sapient being it encounters, was once tricked by Foundation staff into trying to fight a potted plant. No, not another SCP, an ordinary, non-anomalous potted plant. The plant won. SCP-1679 is a town whose mayor (SCP-1679-1) is a corpse that all of the town's inhabitants as well as most outsiders perceive as alive and is currently serving his sixth term. |

In the Discworld novels, Late Jim Cloop has been repeatedly elected mayor of Scrote, despite being dead. He died in office almost immediately after being elected the first time, and they couldn't afford to run another election. When his term was up, everyone agreed that he hadn't embezzled government funds or raised taxes, and was therefore the best mayor they'd ever had, so they voted him in again. And they have done so ever since. | |

Junie B. Jones Smells Something Fishy: Junie B.'s school is having Pet Day and she wants to bring a pet, not a photo display of her dog. She plans to bring in a fish her grandmother caught (even after being told it's dead) and, when her grandmother takes the fish back, she grabs a fish stick out of the fridge. Mrs. handles the situation by looking up "pet" in the dictionary and asking Junie B. if Fish Stick fits the criteria (which, by Junie B.'s definition, he does). Fish Stick even wins "Most Well-Behaved". | |

Inanimate Insanity is a game show full of Animate Inanimate Objects, but season 2 introduces Box, the only contestant that is truly inanimate. The other contestants frequently complain about its attitude. In Fan's Fantastic Features, Box inexplicably wins a challenge to cross a kiddie pool on a tightrope (offscreen), but at least two characters still agree that it's just a cardboard box. | |

Of a sort in The Stormlight Archive. Early in Words of Radiance, Shallan attempts to convince a stick that it could become fire, only for the stick to obstinately refuse and reply with "I am a stick". Ever after when seeing the memory of the event from her point of view, it always is referred to as a battle against the stick that Shallan lost. | |

An episode of Phineas and Ferb saw Doofenshmirtz use Planty the Potted Plant as a stand-in for Perry the Platypus after Perry didn't show up (Perry was actually working to stop a rogue bunny agent who had infiltrated the Flynn-Fletchers' home). Unlike other examples, this particular encounter is shown in some detail. Doof shoves Planty, hanging by a rope tied to the ceiling, and is whacked by Planty's swinging multiple times. After a cut to the episode's A-plot and musical number, it cuts back to show Doof with multiple bruises and his entire lab wrecked, with Doof calling him a worthy adversary and calling it a draw before his plan inevitably fails. Planty is awarded a medal by OWCA and welcomed to the agency, and thereafter makes frequent background cameos in future episodes. In "Unfair Science Fair", Doofenshmirtz's latest Freudian Excuse is that as a child he kept losing science fairs to competitors who had built baking soda volcanoes. He eventually gave up on science and decided to dedicate his life to poetry, only to lose a poetry contest to a baking soda volcano in an Artsy Beret. |

The Dramatic Dream Team Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship can be and has been won by anyone, anything, and at any time, as long as there's a referee around to count the pinfall. It has been held by at least three different ladders, a painting, and a Hello Kitty doll. The 1,000th champion was the championship belt itself, having been tossed onto the supine current champion. DDT also famously has a roster member named "Yoshihiko", who is actually a blow-up doll. |

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo: During the heroes' raid on the Pomade Ring, they encounter Captain Battleship's subcommanders in a series of one-on-one battles. One of these subcommanders turns out to be an inanimate stick of yogurt-flavored gum, with its "battle" against Jelly Jiggler amounting to a competition over who can be more appetizing to a random hungry dog. Jelly, as is typical, loses to the gum – apparently, dogs really like the flavor of yogurt. | |

Since Simmons defected to the blue Team, Lopez is out of commission and Grif is, well, Grif, Donut assumes that the position is his by default, until Sarge adds two new competitors: a wrench and a mysterious skull of unknown origin. Despite some genuine competition, Donut wins anyway. | |

Have I Got News for You once had a Tub of Lard appearing as Paul Merton's team-mate, after politician Roy Hattersley offered to make a guest appearance on the show but backed out at the last minute (for the third time since the show began). Angus Deayton, the host, joked that the lard was "imbued with similar qualities and liable to give much the same performance". And Paul's team won (which they managed in spite of the producers having all their questions in the last round given in foreign languages, none of which Paul spoke). | |

Dilbert: During a company-wide charity drive, the company chooses its three most worthless employees to go around the building and compete to see who can raise the most money. The three competitors are Wally, a dead guy who was found in the stairwell, and the dead guy's chair, which is given the name "Ronald". Wally feels like he's up against some steep competition. In another episode, the original Pointy-Haired Boss loses at least two games of chess to a pineapple. This had received some Foreshadowing earlier in the same episode when The World's Smartest Garbageman made an offhand comment about the intelligence differences between pineapples and bananas. |

When he's the last one left, the team captain chooses a rock lying next to Timmy to join his team. Later in science class when the kids have to pick partners, the last two kids without partners are Timmy and Trixie. Mr. Crocker ends up pairing Trixie with the same rock from before, which she was happy to accept. | |

Guy, while Joseph enters Mr. Bones, his pet dog who has become a skeleton as a result of neglect. Mr. Bones is the only inanimate competitor that actually gets to compete in the dog show due to Joseph "teaching" him how to play dead and stay. Jeffy, Jackie Chu, and Cody also try to enter their "dogs", but they all get disqualified due to Jeffy's dog being a hot dog, Jackie's being a cooked dog, and Cody's being a naked Ken doll on a leash. | |

Monty Python's Flying Circus: Partway through the 127th Annual Upper-Class Twit of the Year Show, crowd favorite Oliver St. John-Mollusc somehow manages to run himself over with his own car. This does not automatically disqualify him. However, it does put him at the disadvantage of coming last. The "Face the Press" sketch is a debate between the Minister for Home Affairs and a small patch of brown liquid "which could be creosote or some extract used in industrial varnishing". The "Is There?" sketch is a discussion about the question of life after death, in which everyone but the host is dead. |

Strong Bad Email In "Montage", one of Strong Bad's montages is about a wagon full of pancakes training for the "championship" against Homestar Runner. The wagon full of pancakes manages to beat Homestar in one hit. In "Pet Show", Strong Bad enters The Cheat in... well, guess. The other competitors include Marzipan, who has entered the Ambiguously Human Homestar Runner, Pom Pom, who has entered his dog-shaped cookie jar Trivia Time, and the King of Town, who has entered a low-fat grill. The final scores are as follows: Pom Pom and Trivia Time: 3.5. King of Town and Low-Fat Grill: Not supposed to be here! Marzipan and Homestar: 8.5. Strong Bad and The Cheat: Disqualified for "flagrant use of relish-foot". |

In the Wander over Yonder episode "The Bounty", Lord Hater hires three bounty hunters to capture Wander and Sylvia, one of whom is a potted plant. To Commander Peepers, who's repeatedly failed at the same task, this is the unkindest cut of all. Turns out it's not only alive but a Man-Eating Plant to boot. | |

An episode of Friends had a variation: Chandler and Joey are playing foosball, both of them on the same side. We hear a ball sinking, and a perplexed Chandler asks "How did we... lose?" | |

In the Weebl & Bob episode "Awards", the Academy Awards-esque trophy for Bob's Best Friend goes to a small twig, to Bob's tearful joy and Weebl's disbelief. Subverted when the twig turns out to be Kevin the French stripper in disguise. | |
