      Thank YOU for the reaction!
      Every theory in here is a real video, I think there are around 40 different theories references throughout the song! Yes, they did a theory on devising the theoretical Pokémon Markiplier would be most likely to 'smash' after Markiplier did a Pokémon 'Smash or Pass' stream.
      MatPat met the Pope as part of an event where the Pope met with a lot of youth 'culture leaders', most of whom were content creators. Everyone there presented the Pope with a gift relevant to their fields and MatPat presented the pope with a copy of Undertale for its pacifistic messaging. He got a lot of flack for it before making his reasons clear and 'give it to the pope' is a bit of a Game Theory meme now.
      If memory serves, Sans' theme, Megalovania, was played by an orchestra at a Vatican event later and the Pope seemed to recognise and enjoy it, suggesting he did actually play the game!

    The Diet coke line was the fact that matpat has an unhealthy obsession with diet coke he mentions it in many videos. Also the markiplier one was after he smash or pass video on all the pokemon game theory tried combining his most smashed pokemons to create the perfect one and mark reacted to it by just saying 'pass'. the grocery store and hamburger lines were from food theory, first was how long could you survive on the food in a grocery store with no power, and the second was the best order of items on a hamburger. The pope line was when matpat met the pope he gave him a copy of undertale a symbolic gift about a game that you can choose peace in to win.

    The ScottsGames teaser line is in reference to the website where Five Nights at Freddy's teasers were posted, so you got that right.
    But the line about them being brightened is a reference to the common trend of FNAF teasers needing to be brightened to reveal a spooky secret or lore clue in the background.
    Also, the FNAF Box is a lingering mystery from back in FNAF 4. It is literally just a locked chest that appears out of nowhere in a black void, and when you try opening it the text "Perhaps some things are beat left forgotten, for now" appears. It has been around 8 years and we aren't certain what was in that box.
    Also also clap and a half is a running bit from GTLive, the Game Theory channel that's used for reactions and actually playing games.

    15:29 "Keeping companions fed" is referencing Cooking Companion where Team Theorist made two theories on the indie game (one for the base game and one for the DLC) which incorporated some Slavic folklore in the story.

    I Think the new facet is called Style Theory, I might be wrong. Let's get into this awesome tune together. Stupes' laugh is my absolute favorite part.
    The Diet Coke mention comes from MatPat's meme-y addiction to it. There's a fun Food Theory where he tries to replace it with something he finds just as delicious, but better on his internal systems and wallet. The dogs inside the TV is from an amazing VR game called Duck Season, that seems inspired by Duck Hunt, the classic shooting game from way back when. The dog's lore in Duck Season goes much deeper, and (Spoiler ahead, ahoy!) goes full surreal horror on us.
    MatPat went to meet the Pope, representing gamers and TH-camrs, and actually gave him a copy of Undertale. He felt so strongly about its message of Mercy, and how your choices can completely change a game's story. So many people shredded him online over it, but the other gifts given to the Pope that day included a selfish plug or were just plain inappropriate.
    Food Theory did cover how to stack the best burger (not Burger Time-related), it was a lot of fun to watch. There was also a time when he and his wife made dinner and machine-dried their laundry at the same time, with the same appliance.

During the fan art they had a glitchy version of the game theory intro playing in the background. In case you were unaware a clap and a half is something Matpat does, mostly on his gt live channel.

    You asked if there's a "Baby Shark" theory & as Mat Pat is the parent of a young child, a demographic for whom the song was inescapable a few years back, there indeed IS a "Baby Shark vs. Real Sharks Parenting Practices" video on Film Theory. Having to absorb LOADS of entertainment directed at his young child has inspired a few theories. (Spoiler: Sharks don't actually raise or associate with their young, nor do they mate for life.)
    With Theories going back to 2009, with contributions from multiple hosts & spreading out to multiple channels, rest assured NOTHING was simply made up for the video, EVERYTHING is a reference to an actual video on one of the Theory channels.

    The last one is Style Theory! It’s MatPat’s newest channel!
    And as for the Diet Coke and human soul thing MatPat has an obsession for Diet Coke and the human soul can is from only cans (which is a double reference from MatPat’s only can’s theory and Stupendium’s vending machine of love)
    Btw the pope thing is a reference to when MatPat gave the pope a copy of undertale
    And clap and a half is from GTLive
    (All of the lines are about real theories, yes even the markiplier Pokémon theory, of which there are two)

    12:14 the stream where Matpat looked at Chikn nuggit lore was so fun. Especially because he “accidentally” searched for pictures of furry dragons. It was lucky for them they don’t actually live stream anymore.
    Everything is a reference to real videos and things Game theory and so on have made. The thing with the pope was because Matpat somehow got to meet the pope at some event where he had to bring a gift. He gave him Undertale, because you have the option to not hurt anyone in it.

    ScottGames was the original FNaF website before it became a AAA property. Scott Cawthon was the original creator, and between FNaF 1, 2, 3, 4, World, Sister location, and Pizza Simulator (and maybe Ultimate Custom Night but idk about that for sure) he made teasers that he changed, and the pictures often we supposed to be brightened up to see hidden details, and some had hidden code in the website people could check for lore hints. Since he made most early FNaF games in only a few months each time (often releasing the games earlier than expected), there was a time where the fans always had news for the series almost daily sometimes.

    As quite a big game/film/food theory and GTLive fan. I can confirm that everything you hear is a theory. Every word, image and symbol in the background and foreground has some kind of meaning or nostalgia. Nothing is added just because. And that honestly adds so much more to the production of it 😊 And the short clip of Ronnie at the end just hits really hard too. Genuinely as a fan this video was absolutely incredible and completely packed. Each second was amazing.
    And loved the review too. I did this myself just pausing and seeing everything I could too 😂 it's definitely worth it.

    Not seeing anyone else saying it, so at 26:11, the theory was actually about the emoji for burgers. Specifically, the emoji for "burger" is actually different on different platforms and devices, so they did a Food Theory on the best order to stack burgers in, based on different emojis. And then, to get a bit more of a "professional" option, they also compared the emojis to Gordon Ramsey's stated order for stacking burgers.

    They do the chorus 3 times.
    The first time, they have pictures of the OG crew of peeps that helped get Game Theory off the ground.
    The second time, it's all pictures of the current staff.
    The third time?
    It's the pictures of all 4 of the hosts that Matt confirmed will be taking over the various channels.
    This released a month before his retirement announcement, and even then they were dropping hints about that to those who thought to look and do a little, one could say, THEORYIZING!
