Greegings,
I fucking love Prince Pill so much and I'm not kidding. Everyone thinks that TROC sucked and wasn't funny and I'm the only one that disagrees. Most of it is "lost media" as the kids say. All the people who were in it (which is now literally everyone that works on bfdi/ii) were TROC contestants. They're all ashamed of their entries. They are wrong. Prince Pill was the best contestant.
In this thread, I will be going through whimscyber's THE PRINCE PILL SAGA and giving my thoughts on every entry.

Ah, dear sweet beautiful Whims. Where art thou oh greatest contestant? Why dost thy close thine eyes and turnst away from yon country? Forsooth, the Objeckt Show Community misses you verily.

This was the cinnamon challenge, a true test of a budding young animator's sense of creativity and subtle Niall-esque humor. It had to be loud, but not too loud. But cerebral. Niall was notorious in his judging career for disliking any entry that was too "raw" and "in your face". This entry establishes many things that set Prince Pill apart from the rest of the TROC canon of contestants. The establishment of a canonical location (an autumn forest) as opposed to the blank white void of Orager and Boy Toothpaste is a masterstroke, though the rest of the entry is very fetal and undercooked. In their first TROC entry, Whims is uncertain and overly reliant on image manipulation effects to get across punchlines. It is no bad entry, but a slow start for what would otherwise turn out to be an excellent contestant.
Challenge 1 (3:35) (16th/40)
Having barely made the cutoff, Prince Pill sets out to reinvent himself as the irascible rapscallion he's known and loved as today. The famous "Orager PC" challenge introduces fan favorite foil "Ms. Wilson". This suburban mother, like all suburban moms, represents and channels through her all that is evil and banal about America in the 21st Century. Every great military empire of the past, through Rome and beyond to the ancient Sumerians, has been ruled by the most physically unwell (Tutenkhamen's weird leg, Joe Biden). This upper class (denizens of suburbia) are also physically and mentally unwell, and must be subjugated through proletarian uprising if the oppressed masses are to ever gain their freedom.
Challenge 2 (6:39) (16th/38)
Fundamental to understanding TROC as well as the current state of BFDI as a whole is that Flubber (from the hit movie Flubber (1997)) is really funny. He's hilarious and if you put him in your entry you will get at least 10 Monkey Tokens. To counteract this, the great and terrible Niall Burns decreed that every entry must contain Flubber so that there will be no cheating. After vehement outcry from the fans and contestants, this was repealed as not everyone thought Flubber was funny. I wish Prince Pill would stop using the stupid fucking door knock sound effect it sucks so bad.

This is where Algodoo Marble shows up, he's really funny. You can tell a new Khonjin episode came out at this time because the doctor has a soft quiet voice like the doctor from Khonjin House. It must be hard being Connor Lavery. Imagine you're just some early-20's dumbass in 2016 and making shit on par with Ugandan Knuckles and Hugh Mungus, only to find that 1000 people have based their personality on it. I would be really really really upset.
Challenge 4 (14:47) (8th/33)
Grangriss is a remarkable design that confounds every user the post comes across. It's a fish named Grangriss and it swims at 30,000 miles per hour. Everyone fucking loves this post and it's the funniest thing ever. Prince Pill must kill anime women to save a Grangriss Family Reunion. For some reason 3 contestants left in between this and the last entry I assume because someone had to go finish their homework or delay BFB 13.
Challenge 5 (18:18) (2nd/31)
Undertale was a video game that came out in 2015. I was a sophomore in high school then, and I was in band. I distinctly remember hanging around the punk & metalhead drum line kids who were some reason all much larger than me. I told them about this new indie game I heard about called Undertale, and that it was an RPG where you don't have to kill anyone. Steven, who played quad toms, was unimpressed. One time I said I liked The Aquabats. He said "Oh, the CANCER-BATS????". I'll never forgive that dreadlock having motherfucker. Surprisingly, Taylor Grodin isn't in this even though he played Root Beer in TROC 1. I really like those Red Cream Soda entries. Fuck. He's married now. I'm so old. I'm almost dead. Oh, god. Oh, god...
Challenge 7 (26:40)
This one's kinda boring I guess.
Challenge 6 (22:22) (7th/29)
The way Prince Pill kills Cool Capsule (the worst contestant) is the first time I've laughed in this video. Prince Pill has begun to do that thing Krysytysytoff does/did and make every entry 100,000,000 minutes long so that Niall laughs at all the funny fish in the sea. It's a good strategy and like totally worked. By TROC 5, Kristoff was pumping out 30 minute entries while everyone else was still at 1-2 minutes. This caused so many problems that Cuberty quit the finale and TROC never happened again.
