August, 2018 - Andersen's Mind (longitudinal series)

Andersen's Mind is the primary, expansive, loosely connected series of Inside Out parodies by CreativityTheEmotion. Directly following her involvement with Downfall parodies, it aims to establish the initial characterizations and stereotypes of Inside Out parodies, both for proper involvement with the main series and for use by other parodists. It exists in a wide variety of genres and styles, but nevertheless has some design commonalities across all parodies.

September, 2018 - Inside Out parodies

Inside Out parodies are a form of subtitle parodies primarily using the 2015 Disney/Pixar animated feature Inside Out as their source. While the movie had gained some recognition around the day of its release, including in the Unterganger community, the current trend of Inside Out parodies has been started by CreativityTheEmotion, who is far detached from the community. Like Downfall parodies, Inside Out parodies use certain scenes of the film and turn them into series with a common theme.

October, 2018 - Riley is informed (scene)

"Riley is informed" is an Inside Out scene that figures extensively in parodies, being second in number of uses only after the "Joy plans" scene. In it, Riley Andersen's emotions argue about her family's move to San Francisco, only for Riley's mother to come in and reassure Riley that there is nothing to worry about, as well as that Riley smiling is appreciated. However, in parodies, Riley's mother talks about a much wider range of topics, often having to do with politics.

November, 2018 - Joy

Joy is the main character of Inside Out. She is Riley Andersen's lead emotion, and the main plot of Inside Out is her journey of discovery, going from a ruthless control freak who doesn't give any other emotion and especially not Sadness any console time to a merely spiritual leader who instils happiness onto other emotions, rather than Riley. However, in Inside Out parodies, she hasn't really learned her lesson, and therefore is depicted as a dictator with the most absurd kinds of plans, much like Adolf Hitler in Downfall parodies.

December, 2018 - Emotions

According to the rules of Inside Out, each person's mind is home to a team of five emotions, namely Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust. These five characters, as they exist in Riley Andersen's mind, are the main characters of Inside Out, and thus, Riley's emotions appear to be a model of sorts. Developing this model and extending it to minds not seen in Inside Out can and has been done, to the extent where entire genres of Inside Out fanfic, such as mind guessing games, have popped up, and the relation between the emotions is also emphasized by certain parodies.

January, 2019 - Dinner Table Scene

The Dinner Table Scene is a scene of Inside Out. Occurring roughly in the first third of the film, it features the Andersen family, consisting of Bill, Jill and their daughter Riley, eating dinner. However, when Riley's parents try to ask her about her first day of school, they do not get a satisfactory response, and eventually, in a fit of anger, Riley's father sends her to her room. While this scene doesn't see much use in Inside Out parodies, it has been used as a trailer, and therefore, is parodied extensively in other meme circles.

February, 2019 - Joy plans (scene)

"Joy plans" is a scene of Inside Out that is commonly used in parodies. During the morning of Riley Andersen's first day of school, Joy, as per the scene's name, outlines a plan in order to survive it and make a good first impression on the students of San Francisco. However, in parodies, Joy can plan for virtually anything, including some of the most outrageous plans such as banning the use of an alphabet letter, as well as plans that break the fourth wall, such as presenting Inside Out parody resources, much like its Downfall parody counterpart, the Hitler Planning Scene.

August, 2019 - Shared Pixar universe

The shared Pixar universe is a theoretical universe in which every single Pixar film, including Inside Out, takes place. The most well-known Pixar universe theory, oftentimes known simply as "the Pixar Theory", was first pitched by Jon Negroni in 2013, and has since been developed to include Pixar's releases since then. For parodies, the connection with both Downfall and AGK parodies implies that the Pixar universe is also the same as the parody universe.

March, 2024 - Inside Out reImagined

Inside Out reImagined is a fanfic by CreativityTheEmotion aiming to rewrite Inside Out from the ground up, with the main target of the rewrite being the worldbuilding, though the plot is also adjusted so that it does not become nonsensical. In the rewrite, Riley Andersen is depicted as a 14-year-old moving to Shanghai, as opposed to an 11-year-old moving to San Francisco. The bulk of writing for reImagined was done in November 2019, with CreativityTheEmotion participating in the year's NaNoWriMo and managing to write over 100,000 words, double the traditional NaNoWriMo goal of 50,000, during the month.
