I have a feeling that there is a slight chance that it will come back, but only 4 episodes, a half season if you will where Liam helps the contestants back by figuring out the code. Though he stays there unable to return home. Maybe he’d find a way to get Airy back.. Remember this is just a theory it may not happen.
he died. he found a radio, then a forest. and then a computer. he was alone for a decade. then he made some clouds. then he died. again. we can see him smiling as he makes a new challenge. its not a cruel or evil smile, hes just happy. hes happy to see his "contestants" doing these challenges. its unbelievable how he doesnt know hes hurting them. they all deserve better smh. just, the entire cast.
@@PearllDoubleL it was probably just an animation error, they probably just got so used to animating him with the broken eye part that they completely forgot about it during that ending segment and didn't care to fix it because they were busy with college and most people probably would notice anyway-
I think the main problem with the community reaction to one was that they missed the point of the show, but its not their fault, most of the community are young kids who don't have a lot of experience with literature. One is at its base a satire about the object show - a satire is criticism, but its not in to teach anyone how do their job, its an observer who simply shows what it sees. One has more "mirrors" to the object show community and creators, more then the cancelling, One is a story about stories, and the nature of a passionate person to get overwhelmed and burned out (although it isn't displayed so clearly in the show - airy breaks his face, but he's not in a coma for 7 months, he's still going around, as you can hear him sing in the end of ONE 8. it shows how sometimes things in life can overwhelm us or hurt us, and even thought we're not gone, we need to know to stop and heal before we keep going.). One really follows 2 paths of criticism, one is the nature of object shows creation, like i just discussed, and the other is about the treatment the contestants get - putting real people into the characters and having them go through the average object show runtime. I think a lot of viewers empathized too much with the characters that they missed the point the show is trying to show, and looked at the satire if it was a completely serious thing. And in some part, I think One is many peoples first interactions with actual piece of literature, not that Im blaming anyone, again most of the osc are too young to even interact with these stuff yet, but seeing as how the time goes on and people start to let the ending sink in, and realize what the show really meant, its really comforting to see they actually learnt something from this "experience" i could sit here all day writing more and more about how brilliantly the show played with many people (i would even make a video but i have 0 editing skills), but no one would read it, so i hope One helps more people get into literature and find stories with more interest in them more.
i don't believe that ONE ended on a cliffhanger ONE has always been made to be different from any other game show including its ending the ending of ONE isn't a happy ending unlike other game shows but it's an ending liam succeeded in doing what he set out to do: -prevent airy from continuing the game show- _edit: i was wrong; liam set out to "put an end to one," not prevent airy from continuing it_ but that's it most objects are still stuck in the plane being in limbo including liam
ok I've realised im thealmost 2 weeks since I made that reply airy died because he was getting reeds for liams bed if liam didn't fucking break his leg that wouldn't have happened so it's not UNrelated but liam still didnt do anything other than set off a domino effect by getting hurt lmao
It was literally just one big meta commentary on the osc and I love that, after being in the fandom since the golden age of bfdi god knows how many object shows I’ve seen just stop. Never get finished. And ONE becomes just that. Truly, Cheesy is master of writing
I actually made the all around the bend portion at the end with no real intentions behind it, but it is actually starting to feel like the whole album might actually be connected to ONE (at least the second season), No Code is the album, No Code is also a title of an episode, there is a lot more going on here, I wonder how this could connect to the series.
Someone has synced up episode 10 to the first song on the album, starting the song when the medicine bottle turns on the radio. It's a perfect match. The album is definitely deliberately snuck into the series a lot.
I see one as a love letter and spit in the face to most object shows, alot of object show characters have little to no personality but when they get an ending that doesn’t feel satisfactory because of the lack OF personality, while ONE makes you want to see them succeed, you want MORE of them, only to give you nothing.Many object shows go on for what feels to long, ONE cuts it off for what feels to short
One was airy's object show. The show ended with him, everything after his death was an epilogue, showing where the characters are at. Not all of the characters story ended, but one did.
I liked so much the final, first i hate it, but now i realised that we can theorize everything, EX: we can theorize that airy get remorse for all he did and he find the code for he come back and saved everyone, or backpack discovered the code. I think that is the good point about the ending, and i will tell you guys a secret, O: or N: not E: elephants.
I actually binged all of ONE today and just. I don't think the series ended on a cliffhanger, or on anything bad really, i think it really just hammered home that feeling of hopelessness that continues throughout the series. There were never any voters, there was never any prize, the rest of the contestants might NEVER get out, and we'll never know if they will. It's heartbreaking, but its perfect, and genius. It's a series that bring out an emotion other series, let alone NO object shows for that matter, have gotten out of me. Helplessness. But still the urge and need for these characters to get some kind of happy ending. Even though they might not canonically have one, i think what Cheesy does do is let us decide for ourselves if we think Liam DID find a way to let everyone out, or if he never found out how. Even if he did find a way, he'll never see them again, he'll be trapped in this forest world place until he eventually dies for real. But hey, ONE makes you think, and I think characters or stories that make you think even when its all over, even if those thoughts arent always happy ones, it's still done a successful and amazing job.
I completely undestand this take but I disagree with it a lot, I think ONE is a satire of stories in general and a criticism of the audience, ONE is a tragedy every viewer gets to view. ONE at every turn is roping it’s audience closer and closer while outright TELLING the audience that not everything gets closure, Parker doesn’t get closure, Liam cant let go of ONE, Nobody gets what they want in this show. Ever. One of the best things about this ending is that Liam could’ve SAVED them, it’s because of Liam needing his answers, needing CLOSURE for his tragedy that he dooms his life winds to eternal hell basically. One tells the viewer that stories don’t always get endings, you don’t get what you want and you have to let go sometimes. It’s like an antithesis to storytelling.
Yes, that is an excellent way to look at it! If I understand this correctly, then yes, this show can be interpreted as a lack of closure, however, everything in your statement basically depends on what *could've* happened, my main focus in this here "theory" was that we don't really know what *would've* happened, that we can't really theorize about the show, that we just do not know ONE. We could interpret it, we could share our opinions on it, and we could speculate on it, but we could never know what would indeed happen. That was my main point, I even ended the video with me saying that this all could be wrong because we truly do not know ONE. You are basically proving my point, that there can be a lot of interpretations as to why ONE was how it is and I appreciate that. Your interpretation is very much valid, thanks for the comment!
@@TheSongGame maybe I portrayed my view wrong, this is all a good thing to me and I absolutely adore this shows ending. I love the lack of closure and I love how realistic the ending is I think it would’ve been awesome to get a real ending but the series really does end when ONE ends.
@@spongytrout7462 Oh absolutely! I’m not saying ONE should’ve ended in any other way, I appreciate the ending for how it is! I may have not made that very clear in my video, which I apologize for if I did, But I never meant to criticize how the ending turned out. In this video I was trying to explain why the ending was the way it was, not the way it should’ve been. The ending to ONE, despite leaving many questions unanswered, which is not a bad thing, was amazing, Realistic, and one of the best ones out there. Cheers!
@@TheSongGame yeah, I argree so much! people wish that we "knew where airy went", "does backpack get saved", ect. but those are literally the point of the ending? and also, how are they meant to show all the nitty gritty details like stone's infinite knowledge or abstracty's world in? especially when those things barely add ANYTHING to the plot.
I really liked ONE's ending because it fits with the theme. ONE wasn't a happy show, so it only made sense that it had an unhappy ending as well as it leaving the viewer with the main idea of the show, No one has true control over anything. Airy's death shows this perfectly, and the fake voting, and the rejoining, and airy plugging the plane back in after the contestant unplugged it, and Liam drowing. The list goes on and on. Point being, ONE's ending is perfect because of it vague cliffhanger that reconfirms the core values and theme of the show. Lol i havent finished the video, imagine if I Say the exact same thing that SongGame says. Hahaha...Ha...ha... (o_ o`)
This theory makes sense in a way because I saw a meme that was from I guess a life stream? But basically someone who worked for one perhaps even cheesy himself was asked to give advice on making a show. He said “step one don’t” and someone else said “it’ll never get finished”
I actually liked the final. It just left me so devastated and it made me feel... A lot. Anger, sadness, confusion and with all together I was just blown away. I really think it is beautiful the way it is, and it wouldn't be the same with complete ending. Sometimes... Cut off ending is better than logical conclusion. Oh and... Once again... I ignored something that was recommended to me by youtube for a pretty long time, which turned to be a masterpiece. (Sorry if my English is extremely bad)
horror makes you feel scared, tragedies make you feel sad, games like getting over it make you feel frustrated. art often aims to create negative feelings, because its nice to feel scared, sad, or frustrated. ONE makes you feel unsatisfied, which not much else does.
i love the concept but actually feeling it is a different story. it creates this pit in my gut that just keeps growing and pulls and pulls at my heart until it bursts into confetti in the worst way possible. i got so unnecessarily attached to these characters that the ending actually made me shed tears ☹
Lol speak for yourself. I'd be annoyed if a bunch of media started getting you invested only to troll you at the end with a cliffhanger. It feels so pretentious
I guess ONE shows what it would be like for objects that would have human emotions and personalities to 'participate' in an object show, which, of course, gets cancelled. And because it got cancelled you don't know how it ends.
The shows ending is called self titled because it’s up to you to decide what happens after episode 18. The cable connecting the plane to the computer might be able to charge the laptop. You never know
Personally I liked the ending way more this way.. it just gives room to ruminate and carries the same feeling I had throughout the whole show of uneasiness and mystery, and more? Imo shows that have everything answered lose their spark, it's finished, there is not much to think about
I think many of the questions that were left "unanswered" were things that didn't need or were never going to get an answer realistically. This is probably not what you're talking about but take the questions about the waiting room as an example. many questions about the waiting room or the radio could never get an answer because finding the answer would require the characters to gain access to information that they never could realistically find. a lot of the questions left open in ONE are like that because the characters don't have a possible way to find that information. Sorry if this sounds rude or angry im genuinely not trying to be rude i just like talking about this kind of thing
The thing about ONE that I find ingenious is just how it plays out overall. On the surface, it seems like an object show, especially towards the beginning, but it goes far deeper than that. ONE isn't just an object show; it's a new and never-before-seen iteration of one that avoids the normal formula and shows a much more sinister side. ONE as a whole is shrouded in mystery, with each answered question getting replaced by multiple new ones, some of which remaining unanswered indefinitely. A lot of the show revolves around the first and main 6 characters, since they're more than just objects themselves, further representing how ONE isn't just a standard object show. We see characters getting traumatized and hurt by what Airy does and yet Airy continues despite them telling him to stop. Characters who were interested in the competition at first slowly become uninterested and upset because of what Airy is causing. He seems to be completely unaware or oblivious to the pain he's causing these people (the main 6) and the rest of the objects, and even when Liam tells him to stop and tries to kill him, he persists anyways. Airy still helps Liam despite his desire to kill him, but Airy's sudden death changes everything and introduces the most important questions of all. The fact that these questions will never be answered signifies the show's abnormal and mysterious nature. ONE, which I theorize to stand for "Of No End", wasn't meant for an ending; it was meant to defy the odds and create a story that remains undiscoverable, leaving the viewer to decide for themselves.
airy just forgot how to socialize with the outside world, in the first season of one calculator said he kept saying sorry for his mistakes. Now he doesn't say sorry because he lost touch with society. He was drove into being psycothic by loneliness.
There are a couple of theories on what ONE stands for, one of them being "Objects Newest Entites" and the other being "Objects Never Escape" I personally think that the ladder is more likely
This video looks like a documentary, the designs, how he explains, this video is an exquisite way to explain us: There’s really not a correct ending for ONE. I love this!🎉
I don't think ONE had a "cancelled" story, and I don't see it as satire either. As much as the ending was realistic and unsatisfying, I think it was intended that it would end that way to simply let the audience make an ending up to their interpretation. Just my opinion I guess
although there is a lot of symbolism around One and its ending I feel as if an in world explanation is that One never did end. Liam just started the cycle again, keeping it going perpetually. it seems like airy wasn't the first person in the "forest" as we can see precut logs and vines along with the planets. regardless if the world of One is never-ending it doesn't matter because our viewport into the world does have an ending, and now it is over.
Many people criticize ONE for its untold ending, but I think it was done very well. It provided several possible endings, and it’s up to us to decide which one could of been the correct ending.
“One 18 is bad, the ending is stu-“ WELL LOOK AT WHAT AMAZING ENDINGS THE COMMUNITY MADE, HUH? THEY WOULD NOT BE HERE IF WE GOT WHATEVER ENDINGS WE WANTED.
ONE will away hold a special place in my heart because it unintentionally helped me realize some parts of myself and things that I’m now deciding to finally face and improve on
I think that ONE was never meant to have an ending. It was the one thing the fans got to vote on, the ending. They got to theorize about what the true ending was, with theory's and AU's.
I found this from snother video so il share it "one 18 is called self titled because YOU choose what happens for them. Whatever you think is the ending. It is for you"
I actually think the ending of ONE was very creative. The fact that it conveys the fear of being stuck in a certain place forever until you die is unique and it is something i havent seen in dark object shows for a while, a LOONNNNGGG while.
I think what so many people never realize is that not every story has to have a happy ending. In fact, in my opinion, I always felt that bad endings hit harder than good ones, when you watch the hero do everything they can to get to stop whatever the bad situation is only for them to fail, it hits harder than the belt.
More to support this theory: all of BFC. Battle for circle was cheesyhfj's previous satirical object show. All the characters were circle, the host was circle the land was an empty void and the challenges even shallower than ever. It was a rather blunt satire (and is even said in one episode) of object shows developing zero plot. Characters don't grow, they all feel incredibly basic, none of them have any depth. To even go beyond cheesy then goes out of his way to develop a unique character: circle with a mole. ITS NO COINCIDENCE THAT HE APPEARS IN ONE! Most importantly there's a gag in BFC where for a while the host calls everything "Zero". Almost like a precursor to One huh? One, like BFC, is both an extension of the criticism of OSC and proof that more can be done with the format.
late to the party, only discovered this show recently, but i was fairly satisfied with the ending. with time, i would think liam could potentially save the rest of the gang through some trial and error. iirc each contestant had a kill command that reset them, right? so they could use that if any mistakes are made, no harm really done. hell, he could probably find a way to get himself back home with enough experimenting.
good mornig you must pay for fridge that you bought 69 days ago. our fridge boss is very angry and he will go to your house in 16 hours if you do backflip on tall grass, so be carefull
I feel like cheesy did this because it was like the objects had a life. Like us. And sometimes. Life doesnt always work out. But in the end. It will sometimes work after a bit of work. Because when airy died liam was trying to code a way to get them back. Hes probably still learning and soon enough. He will do it. One is like life. Uncomplete. Dissapointing. And most of all. Scary.
As someone who's as far apart of the object show community as can be, I think the ending is like that so that we, the viewers, can decide how it ends. Just like how you guys vote on what happens when an episode ends - who leaves and who doesn't? We decide that. We can decide whether the people stuck there leave or not. We decide whether Liam leaves or not.
Honestly, I just have a feeling the ending was rushed (Cheesy has college to attend after all, which probably forced him to rush things), and maybe cheesy has some plans for season 3 (probably not on the last one). We got an ending that answered some questions, that is kinda depressing. Airy died, Texty is out of battery, Liam lost all of the notes and is trapped forever without a way to save his friends, and all contestants are stuck forever with close to zero hope of getting out of here. Yeah we don't really know if contestants are stuck, maybe Liam is super lucky and smart and rescued them. But thats what I'd like to call "open end", where we don't know what happens to main characters after the end but we can assume. Quite a lot of good shows and movies do that like Cowboy bebop, Red vs blue season 13 or Nolan's inception. But unlike in all those movies and shows (I know it's unfair to compare high budget stuff to an indie web-series, but hear me out), One left a lot of unanswered questions. And because one is Psychological horror/mystery show, unlike RvB or Cowboy bebop, fans expect for all or most questions to be answered. Also the Airy's death was really anticlimactic. He just slips and dies. And his back story is even worse, he dies in a car crash, apears in the underworld, randomly finds a radio room with PC and decides to make an object show. But if this is indeed a satire on creators abandoning their show, then, first why make a vidio saying that one is done, and second it's the worst way to make it. Like there is so much stuff you could make in object show setting, about being abandoned. You could make a depressing show, where contestants wonder where did the host go, what is the point of their life if contest doesn't exist, why did they spent all of their time to get on this show, if it was all a scam ans other things like that. Or you could make a show about a cartoon characters, that got abandoned by their creators, getting into limbo of sorts, where they try to learn a secrets of this place. And I'm not even gonna talk about fans of the show being angry, because the creator refuses to end it.
bro what are you expecting airy's backstory to be? are you expecting it to be "oh he made a deal with the devil and know has superficial powers" or something?
@@tzarg My problem with Airy's backstory is that it doesn't explain much. Airy's motivation is still unknown. Like why would he torture all these contestants? Because he's mad? Because he has a messed up philosophy? Because he's bored? And the origins of the origins of Airy's "power" (aka the PC which he uses for One) are also unknown. Also what are the odds that out of roughly Septen-decillion worlds. according to the radio, Airy found the one with the PC. Also maybe if Airy made a deal with a devil and was forced to host one as puneshment, It would've been better. Show already has wierd stuff like world of circles, living piece of text and Stone that knows everything that is happening and will happen in the universe. Sure it would've been a bit underwhelming, but It would've been better than having an explanation that doesn't explain much. Plus the show already has a lot of great moments, so the underwhelming ending could be excused, in my opinion, especially since One was Cheesy's first project of this type.
I would probably made an object show, it would have the same vibe as one, it would be called, Objects but i don’t know if I would be able to get it to explode, and if I did, I fear the pressure of people pushing me over the limit and making me want to abandon it, maybe if I had a team I would do it but for now it’s just going to be in the back of my mind for a while.
whats weird is that i haven't seen a single person bring up the fact that Airy is just a straight up sociopath. Like, hits the definition to a T. If he somehow wasn't, then it would make more sense for him to not know that these are real people. But no, he knows. And even when confronted with the pain and suffering he is causing them. He just doesn't understand. He doesn't understand the cues of why they don't want to play in the competition either. Early on when they are refusing to climb the pole, Airy just assumes "oh so it must be too hard. Maybe if I make it easier they will do it." And it seems the only reason he was scared for the contestants well-being in the first ONE was because if they died, then they couldn't be brought back. But with the second ONE its completely fine if they die. Even if its painful or causes trauma. Because they can just come back! Honestly, what ticked me off to this is that there is a character very similar to this in Breaking Bad, named Todd Alquist. Don't got to be too specific but, he enslaves someone and forces them to make meth while also torturing him psychologically and letting his buddy's physically torture him. But when the victim almost escapes and has a gun pointed to Todd's head, Todd just offers to buy him some pizza. Completely just not having the social and moral cues to understand why he would want to point a gun at him anyways. Any ordinary person would assume that they should probably not turn their back to Liam. As even if they didn't know what they were doing, the crimes that they are accused of are enough to excuse murder. meanwhile Airy is just kind of confused. And doesn't understand why the contestants would need to leave now.
I think it would be genius for Cheesy to bring back the series and heres why. So if we are to believe that ONE is a satire of people cancelling their objects shows it would make sense for him to bring back ONE and it’s because of ONE(Pun intended) show. BFDIA. Battle For Dream Island Again(BFDIA) Is the second season of the first object show Battle For Dream Island(BFDI). For awhile we all though after BFDIA 5e the show was cancelled with BFDIA 6 never releasing and instead IDFB. That’s what I would say if not after 10 years BFDIA 6 FINALLY RELEASED! After the episode released the community went crazy and what makes it even better is now JackandJellify are planning on continuing the series again. If ONE was a true satire then it would make sense for it to honor one of the first object shows. (Or not this is just a fun idea I had for ONE to comeback and come full circle with the satire idea)
disclaimer: don’t take this offensively please the last episode was called “self tilted” I think this means we are supposed to imagine it in our own way, feel how we think we should feel about how airy was taking control and how Liam tried to save it but failed and airy died, airy was the only person who knew how to put the people back, although it is unfinishedI think it had what it needed
My theory is everyone is dead. I’m deadass. Without airy and Liam not having good survival skills I think everyone is dead without a trace, or backpack starts another season and the cycle continues
What if the creator is watching all of this and they are blaming Airy and once they can't leave or do anything the creator will make the cycle over and over and over
I cried when i processed the fact it's never coming back, the story simply fades from the world on a cliffhanger.
Same :(
Same bro 😭😭
I have a feeling that there is a slight chance that it will come back, but only 4 episodes, a half season if you will where Liam helps the contestants back by figuring out the code. Though he stays there unable to return home. Maybe he’d find a way to get Airy back..
Remember this is just a theory it may not happen.

i could sit here all day writing more and more about how brilliantly the show played with many people (i would even make a video but i have 0 editing skills), but no one would read it, so i hope One helps more people get into literature and find stories with more interest in them more.

Thank you so much!
I liked so much the final, first i hate it, but now i realised that we can theorize everything, EX: we can theorize that airy get remorse for all he did and he find the code for he come back and saved everyone, or backpack discovered the code. I think that is the good point about the ending, and i will tell you guys a secret, O: or N: not E: elephants.
i see the end of ONE as an incomplete ending, all we need to do is make it
I love the visuals and movements in this video, you made a really good explanation as well.
Thank you!
I actually binged all of ONE today and just. I don't think the series ended on a cliffhanger, or on anything bad really, i think it really just hammered home that feeling of hopelessness that continues throughout the series. There were never any voters, there was never any prize, the rest of the contestants might NEVER get out, and we'll never know if they will. It's heartbreaking, but its perfect, and genius. It's a series that bring out an emotion other series, let alone NO object shows for that matter, have gotten out of me. Helplessness. But still the urge and need for these characters to get some kind of happy ending. Even though they might not canonically have one, i think what Cheesy does do is let us decide for ourselves if we think Liam DID find a way to let everyone out, or if he never found out how. Even if he did find a way, he'll never see them again, he'll be trapped in this forest world place until he eventually dies for real.
But hey, ONE makes you think, and I think characters or stories that make you think even when its all over, even if those thoughts arent always happy ones, it's still done a successful and amazing job.
I completely undestand this take but I disagree with it a lot, I think ONE is a satire of stories in general and a criticism of the audience, ONE is a tragedy every viewer gets to view. ONE at every turn is roping it’s audience closer and closer while outright TELLING the audience that not everything gets closure, Parker doesn’t get closure, Liam cant let go of ONE, Nobody gets what they want in this show. Ever. One of the best things about this ending is that Liam could’ve SAVED them, it’s because of Liam needing his answers, needing CLOSURE for his tragedy that he dooms his life winds to eternal hell basically. One tells the viewer that stories don’t always get endings, you don’t get what you want and you have to let go sometimes. It’s like an antithesis to storytelling.
Yes, that is an excellent way to look at it!
If I understand this correctly, then yes, this show can be interpreted as a lack of closure,
however, everything in your statement basically depends on what *could've* happened, my main focus in this here "theory" was that we
don't really know what *would've* happened, that we can't really theorize about the show, that we just do not know ONE.
We could interpret it, we could share our opinions on it, and we could speculate on it, but we could never know what would indeed happen.
That was my main point, I even ended the video with me saying that this all could be wrong because we truly do not know ONE.
You are basically proving my point, that there can be a lot of interpretations as to why ONE was how it is and I appreciate that.
Your interpretation is very much valid, thanks for the comment!
@@TheSongGame maybe I portrayed my view wrong, this is all a good thing to me and I absolutely adore this shows ending. I love the lack of closure and I love how realistic the ending is I think it would’ve been awesome to get a real ending but the series really does end when ONE ends.
@@spongytrout7462 Oh absolutely!
I’m not saying ONE should’ve ended in any other way,
I appreciate the ending for how it is!
I may have not made that very clear in my video, which I apologize for if I did,
But I never meant to criticize how the ending turned out.
In this video I was trying to explain why the ending was the way it was, not the way it should’ve been.
The ending to ONE, despite leaving many questions unanswered, which is not a bad thing, was amazing,
Realistic, and one of the best ones out there.
Cheers!

@@TheSongGame yeah, I argree so much! people wish that we "knew where airy went", "does backpack get saved", ect. but those are literally the point of the ending? and also, how are they meant to show all the nitty gritty details like stone's infinite knowledge or abstracty's world in? especially when those things barely add ANYTHING to the plot.
I really liked ONE's ending because it fits with the theme. ONE wasn't a happy show, so it only made sense that it had an unhappy ending as well as it leaving the viewer with the main idea of the show, No one has true control over anything. Airy's death shows this perfectly, and the fake voting, and the rejoining, and airy plugging the plane back in after the contestant unplugged it, and Liam drowing. The list goes on and on. Point being, ONE's ending is perfect because of it vague cliffhanger that reconfirms the core values and theme of the show.
Lol i havent finished the video, imagine if I Say the exact same thing that SongGame says. Hahaha...Ha...ha... (o_ o`)
me when hfj one stands for
O: Off
N: Around
E: The Bend
at first i thought one stands for 'Objects Never Enjoy', i guess we'll never know what it actually stands for
@@Willowphobicx Objects Never Escape
@@Willowphobicx I personally love the theory that it's
Our

@texty in all seriousness that’s actually a good theory due to being meta (typical theme in this show)
@@user-qp3js5ix6i Or it could be
O:O
N:N
E:E
This theory makes sense in a way because I saw a meme that was from I guess a life stream? But basically someone who worked for one perhaps even cheesy himself was asked to give advice on making a show. He said “step one don’t” and someone else said “it’ll never get finished”
a life stream? a waterfall of life?
@@tzarg why did you remind me of this video i dont wanna listen to that song again
I actually liked the final. It just left me so devastated and it made me feel... A lot. Anger, sadness, confusion and with all together I was just blown away. I really think it is beautiful the way it is, and it wouldn't be the same with complete ending. Sometimes... Cut off ending is better than logical conclusion.
Oh and... Once again... I ignored something that was recommended to me by youtube for a pretty long time, which turned to be a masterpiece. (Sorry if my English is extremely bad)
one is so unsatisfiying and i love it so much for that. more media should let itself be unsatifiying. its a rare feeling that i love having
horror makes you feel scared, tragedies make you feel sad, games like getting over it make you feel frustrated. art often aims to create negative feelings, because its nice to feel scared, sad, or frustrated. ONE makes you feel unsatisfied, which not much else does.
i love the concept but actually feeling it is a different story. it creates this pit in my gut that just keeps growing and pulls and pulls at my heart until it bursts into confetti in the worst way possible. i got so unnecessarily attached to these characters that the ending actually made me shed tears ☹
Lol speak for yourself. I'd be annoyed if a bunch of media started getting you invested only to troll you at the end with a cliffhanger. It feels so pretentious
I guess ONE shows what it would be like for objects that would have human emotions and personalities to 'participate' in an object show, which, of course, gets cancelled. And because it got cancelled you don't know how it ends.
Very detailed and interesting video. ONE's ending is really sus.
The shows ending is called self titled because it’s up to you to decide what happens after episode 18. The cable connecting the plane to the computer might be able to charge the laptop. You never know
Personally I liked the ending way more this way.. it just gives room to ruminate and carries the same feeling I had throughout the whole show of uneasiness and mystery, and more?
Imo shows that have everything answered lose their spark, it's finished, there is not much to think about
2:30 THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS , WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHY PILLOW WAS PICKED UP
There a difference between ambiguous ending, and leaving 90% of the shows questions unanswered
please, just PLEASE, give like 5 things he has left unanswered
did you even watch the video
@@tzarg I’m taking about hjf himself. Not this guy
@@gimeyproductions7842 no. Honestly at the time of making that comment I hadn’t
I think many of the questions that were left "unanswered" were things that didn't need or were never going to get an answer realistically. This is probably not what you're talking about but take the questions about the waiting room as an example. many questions about the waiting room or the radio could never get an answer because finding the answer would require the characters to gain access to information that they never could realistically find. a lot of the questions left open in ONE are like that because the characters don't have a possible way to find that information. Sorry if this sounds rude or angry im genuinely not trying to be rude i just like talking about this kind of thing
The thing about ONE that I find ingenious is just how it plays out overall. On the surface, it seems like an object show, especially towards the beginning, but it goes far deeper than that. ONE isn't just an object show; it's a new and never-before-seen iteration of one that avoids the normal formula and shows a much more sinister side. ONE as a whole is shrouded in mystery, with each answered question getting replaced by multiple new ones, some of which remaining unanswered indefinitely. A lot of the show revolves around the first and main 6 characters, since they're more than just objects themselves, further representing how ONE isn't just a standard object show. We see characters getting traumatized and hurt by what Airy does and yet Airy continues despite them telling him to stop. Characters who were interested in the competition at first slowly become uninterested and upset because of what Airy is causing. He seems to be completely unaware or oblivious to the pain he's causing these people (the main 6) and the rest of the objects, and even when Liam tells him to stop and tries to kill him, he persists anyways. Airy still helps Liam despite his desire to kill him, but Airy's sudden death changes everything and introduces the most important questions of all. The fact that these questions will never be answered signifies the show's abnormal and mysterious nature. ONE, which I theorize to stand for "Of No End", wasn't meant for an ending; it was meant to defy the odds and create a story that remains undiscoverable, leaving the viewer to decide for themselves.
This is a really good choice of wording dude! Props to you!! /pos
I also think it symbolizes life, when something happens, our lives don’t just “end” just because they’re stuck doesn’t mean the end for them.
airy just forgot how to socialize with the outside world, in the first season of one calculator said he kept saying sorry for his mistakes. Now he doesn't say sorry because he lost touch with society. He was drove into being psycothic by loneliness.
There are a couple of theories on what ONE stands for, one of them being "Objects Newest Entites" and the other being "Objects Never Escape" I personally think that the ladder is more likely
This video looks like a documentary, the designs, how he explains, this video is an exquisite way to explain us:
There’s really not a correct ending for ONE. I love this!🎉
I don't think ONE had a "cancelled" story, and I don't see it as satire either. As much as the ending was realistic and unsatisfying, I think it was intended that it would end that way to simply let the audience make an ending up to their interpretation. Just my opinion I guess
I think it could be a bit of both. I don't think its fully just a satire, but there are many saterical elements
although there is a lot of symbolism around One and its ending I feel as if an in world explanation is that One never did end. Liam just started the cycle again, keeping it going perpetually. it seems like airy wasn't the first person in the "forest" as we can see precut logs and vines along with the planets. regardless if the world of One is never-ending it doesn't matter because our viewport into the world does have an ending, and now it is over.
8:01 “Oh no! I’ve been dulled!”
Many people criticize ONE for its untold ending, but I think it was done very well. It provided several possible endings, and it’s up to us to decide which one could of been the correct ending.
The OSC needed a show like ONE desperately, and its existence has benefitted the community tremendously.
I had the same feeling in Eddsworld when Tord got injured and left and the story hasn’t continued yet after years.
“One 18 is bad, the ending is stu-“ WELL LOOK AT WHAT AMAZING ENDINGS THE COMMUNITY MADE, HUH? THEY WOULD NOT BE HERE IF WE GOT WHATEVER ENDINGS WE WANTED.
ONE is a lesson.
The true gift of immortality is living it alone
We choose what happens next
ONE will away hold a special place in my heart because it unintentionally helped me realize some parts of myself and things that I’m now deciding to finally face and improve on
putting aside how sad the ending is, its actually one of the most creative ones ive actually seen
OMG HOW DID I JUST REALISE THE 5 NOTE WAS A REFERENCE THE ENTIRE TIME WHAT THE heck
I think that ONE was never meant to have an ending. It was the one thing the fans got to vote on, the ending. They got to theorize about what the true ending was, with theory's and AU's.
even tho I have never watched ONE, it has always reminded me about selena gomez's song about how everything is not what it seems
please watch it, its genuinely one of the best things ive ever watched
I found this from snother video so il share it "one 18 is called self titled because YOU choose what happens for them. Whatever you think is the ending. It is for you"
I just wacthed the hole thing ITS HECKIN AWSOME I THINK MAT PAT SHOULD MAKE SOMTHING ABOUT THIS
I actually think the ending of ONE was very creative. The fact that it conveys the fear of being stuck in a certain place forever until you die is unique and it is something i havent seen in dark object shows for a while, a LOONNNNGGG while.
I liked the part where he overanalized a pillow
remember how texty found a kill code? Liam's probably figuring it out.
Imagine a scenario where the world is gonna end, and at the very end of it all, randomly a video called TWO pops up
O: One
N: Never
E: Ending
Show.
Everybody gangsta until TWO comes out
I found ONE's ending satisfying but that feeling was overshadowed by my confusion.
I think what so many people never realize is that not every story has to have a happy ending. In fact, in my opinion, I always felt that bad endings hit harder than good ones, when you watch the hero do everything they can to get to stop whatever the bad situation is only for them to fail, it hits harder than the belt.
More to support this theory: all of BFC. Battle for circle was cheesyhfj's previous satirical object show. All the characters were circle, the host was circle the land was an empty void and the challenges even shallower than ever. It was a rather blunt satire (and is even said in one episode) of object shows developing zero plot. Characters don't grow, they all feel incredibly basic, none of them have any depth. To even go beyond cheesy then goes out of his way to develop a unique character: circle with a mole. ITS NO COINCIDENCE THAT HE APPEARS IN ONE! Most importantly there's a gag in BFC where for a while the host calls everything "Zero". Almost like a precursor to One huh? One, like BFC, is both an extension of the criticism of OSC and proof that more can be done with the format.
Now that one investigations is out I feel like that will wrap it up...
The pillow saga was the best. Hope theres a sequel
late to the party, only discovered this show recently, but i was fairly satisfied with the ending. with time, i would think liam could potentially save the rest of the gang through some trial and error. iirc each contestant had a kill command that reset them, right? so they could use that if any mistakes are made, no harm really done. hell, he could probably find a way to get himself back home with enough experimenting.
someone should really make that pillow plot into a tv show
good mornig you must pay for fridge that you bought 69 days ago. our fridge boss is very angry and he will go to your house in 16 hours if you do backflip on tall grass, so be carefull
7:31 but what if they actually died irl? They can’t exactly keep working on it from beyond the grave, can they?
I LIKE HOW HES JUST LIKE "uH Oh I sLipPPeDD!! noW im DAED!!" lol silly airy
One is sad now
It always was
What I found about ONE is that ONE might stand for One never ends.
but what does the one mean in one never ends?
it means one never ends, but the one in that one also means one never ends, and it, never ends, oh god.
@@galactic_cupcake8744 yeah almost
This changed my perspective on it,,, and now m thinkinh rrally hard, about all the things i wanna make and how theyll prolly never be told
ONE 18 should of needed with Adam sending everyone back home
i cried so damn hard when the pillow was thrown
I feel like cheesy did this because it was like the objects had a life. Like us. And sometimes. Life doesnt always work out. But in the end. It will sometimes work after a bit of work. Because when airy died liam was trying to code a way to get them back. Hes probably still learning and soon enough. He will do it. One is like life. Uncomplete. Dissapointing. And most of all. Scary.
As someone who's as far apart of the object show community as can be, I think the ending is like that so that we, the viewers, can decide how it ends. Just like how you guys vote on what happens when an episode ends - who leaves and who doesn't?
We decide that. We can decide whether the people stuck there leave or not. We decide whether Liam leaves or not.
Honestly, I just have a feeling the ending was rushed (Cheesy has college to attend after all, which probably forced him to rush things), and maybe cheesy has some plans for season 3 (probably not on the last one). We got an ending that answered some questions, that is kinda depressing. Airy died, Texty is out of battery, Liam lost all of the notes and is trapped forever without a way to save his friends, and all contestants are stuck forever with close to zero hope of getting out of here. Yeah we don't really know if contestants are stuck, maybe Liam is super lucky and smart and rescued them. But thats what I'd like to call "open end", where we don't know what happens to main characters after the end but we can assume. Quite a lot of good shows and movies do that like Cowboy bebop, Red vs blue season 13 or Nolan's inception. But unlike in all those movies and shows (I know it's unfair to compare high budget stuff to an indie web-series, but hear me out), One left a lot of unanswered questions. And because one is Psychological horror/mystery show, unlike RvB or Cowboy bebop, fans expect for all or most questions to be answered. Also the Airy's death was really anticlimactic. He just slips and dies. And his back story is even worse, he dies in a car crash, apears in the underworld, randomly finds a radio room with PC and decides to make an object show.
But if this is indeed a satire on creators abandoning their show, then, first why make a vidio saying that one is done, and second it's the worst way to make it. Like there is so much stuff you could make in object show setting, about being abandoned. You could make a depressing show, where contestants wonder where did the host go, what is the point of their life if contest doesn't exist, why did they spent all of their time to get on this show, if it was all a scam ans other things like that. Or you could make a show about a cartoon characters, that got abandoned by their creators, getting into limbo of sorts, where they try to learn a secrets of this place. And I'm not even gonna talk about fans of the show being angry, because the creator refuses to end it.
bro what are you expecting airy's backstory to be? are you expecting it to be "oh he made a deal with the devil and know has superficial powers" or something?
@@tzarg My problem with Airy's backstory is that it doesn't explain much. Airy's motivation is still unknown. Like why would he torture all these contestants? Because he's mad? Because he has a messed up philosophy? Because he's bored? And the origins of the origins of Airy's "power" (aka the PC which he uses for One) are also unknown. Also what are the odds that out of roughly Septen-decillion worlds. according to the radio, Airy found the one with the PC.
Also maybe if Airy made a deal with a devil and was forced to host one as puneshment, It would've been better. Show already has wierd stuff like world of circles, living piece of text and Stone that knows everything that is happening and will happen in the universe. Sure it would've been a bit underwhelming, but It would've been better than having an explanation that doesn't explain much. Plus the show already has a lot of great moments, so the underwhelming ending could be excused, in my opinion, especially since One was Cheesy's first project of this type.
I would probably made an object show, it would have the same vibe as one, it would be called, Objects but i don’t know if I would be able to get it to explode, and if I did, I fear the pressure of people pushing me over the limit and making me want to abandon it, maybe if I had a team I would do it but for now it’s just going to be in the back of my mind for a while.
Sad fact: a couple months (I think) after ONE 18 came out, cheesy made a video called: ONE is dONE
I'm pretty sure it was only a few days, or even less, after it
Sadly, there is a video they made saying "One is Done".
4:58 he left because he got injured
whats weird is that i haven't seen a single person bring up the fact that Airy is just a straight up sociopath. Like, hits the definition to a T.
If he somehow wasn't, then it would make more sense for him to not know that these are real people. But no, he knows. And even when confronted with the pain and suffering he is causing them. He just doesn't understand.
He doesn't understand the cues of why they don't want to play in the competition either. Early on when they are refusing to climb the pole, Airy just assumes "oh so it must be too hard. Maybe if I make it easier they will do it."
And it seems the only reason he was scared for the contestants well-being in the first ONE was because if they died, then they couldn't be brought back. But with the second ONE its completely fine if they die. Even if its painful or causes trauma. Because they can just come back!
Honestly, what ticked me off to this is that there is a character very similar to this in Breaking Bad, named Todd Alquist. Don't got to be too specific but, he enslaves someone and forces them to make meth while also torturing him psychologically and letting his buddy's physically torture him. But when the victim almost escapes and has a gun pointed to Todd's head, Todd just offers to buy him some pizza. Completely just not having the social and moral cues to understand why he would want to point a gun at him anyways.
Any ordinary person would assume that they should probably not turn their back to Liam. As even if they didn't know what they were doing, the crimes that they are accused of are enough to excuse murder.
meanwhile Airy is just kind of confused. And doesn't understand why the contestants would need to leave now.
Alternate ending backpack learns the computer and saves everyone yippee
I think it would be genius for Cheesy to bring back the series and heres why. So if we are to believe that ONE is a satire of people cancelling their objects shows it would make sense for him to bring back ONE and it’s because of ONE(Pun intended) show. BFDIA. Battle For Dream Island Again(BFDIA) Is the second season of the first object show Battle For Dream Island(BFDI). For awhile we all though after BFDIA 5e the show was cancelled with BFDIA 6 never releasing and instead IDFB. That’s what I would say if not after 10 years BFDIA 6 FINALLY RELEASED! After the episode released the community went crazy and what makes it even better is now JackandJellify are planning on continuing the series again. If ONE was a true satire then it would make sense for it to honor one of the first object shows. (Or not this is just a fun idea I had for ONE to comeback and come full circle with the satire idea)
My favorite part "But who was that man? Theory time! It was I."
the lack of a conclusion reinforces my theory of the name meaning, ONE NEVER ENDS
disclaimer: don’t take this offensively please
the last episode was called “self tilted” I think this means we are supposed to imagine it in our own way, feel how we think we should feel about how airy was taking control and how Liam tried to save it but failed and airy died, airy was the only person who knew how to put the people back, although it is unfinishedI think it had what it needed
but thats lame!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like to think Liam found out how to work the computer
And sent them all back to there normal lives

Bro you literally taught me more about plot than all of my elementary teachers combined.😅
there’s no doubt that this was the way this series was planned to end as in ONE 8 airy hummed around the bend at the end
I have no idea if you did this intentionally but the ending of the video totally surprised me, I thought there was more left to it, just like ONE.
i always like to think that ONE actually stands for:
Objects
Never
Escape
To me I think it was “Object show with No Ending”
That actually makes sence
@@muf1nl0rd cool theory
My theory is everyone is dead. I’m deadass. Without airy and Liam not having good survival skills I think everyone is dead without a trace, or backpack starts another season and the cycle continues
What if the creator is watching all of this and they are blaming Airy and once they can't leave or do anything the creator will make the cycle over and over and over
ONE IS SO SAD AND ITS ONE YEAR ANIVERSAYR IS ALMOST HDJSE
Can you make one more theory about one investigation's
Ignorance truly is bliss. It’s better to not know than to know.
the pillow story genuinely made me cry
I swear I cried when cheesy said one is done
