A simple recap of things we forgot about in Five Nights At Freddy's :) [CREDITS] --------------- FNaF Beast [Gameplay] DoctorHadie1987 [Phone Guy Video] pcgaming [Gameplay]
good thumbnail man this made me wanna click without even knowing it had less than 1000 views. Also pretty good editing. Will definitely continue to watch ur videos.
It will hopefully get 1000 views soon lol. Thank you so much for the compliment btw. I'm really proud of it and added a small detail that most people ironically missed :D
There was an official statement by Scott himself saying that only Nightmare Balloon Boy was canon out of the Halloween Edition anyways, I thought that was something everyone already knew, maybe not new fans tho
I feel like we as a community forget or wash over things so often do to what big creators tell us and we can go years developing theories on top of something that originally wasn’t even true. I feel like a couple times Scott has just *gone* with whatever the community was thinking even if it was contradictory.
BEARable is just the perfect joke and i think you don't remember me but i am the guy who you help talk to FuhNaff and say my help wanted 2 theory by super chatting to say my theory
I watched a pretty convincing video from a new theory channel.that goes over a lot of this information that most of the community either ignores or completely forgot existed
I did not steal this idea or any contents from another channel. Idk if that's what your saying. I really hope my video isn't a copy of theirs none the less
@@Vanzolin I'm not saying that you stole anything. I'm just saying that another channel is acknowledging the stuff that your acknowledging about the lore lol
Slight nitpick: the FNaF 1 Custom 1987 is nothing more than Scott quashing early day theories that a secret night will occur if you set each level as such. I'm sure nowadays, Scott wouldn't do that, but at the time it was just some weird underground game making the motions on Tumblr
I have a cool FNAF 1 theory. It ties up loose ends, fixes early installment weirdness, clarifies some things, AND might even have answers about Phone Guy. Curious? I'm willing to share or let you use it, I've been pitching it for years
@@Vanzolin There's two halves, the part I'm certain about and the more iffy stretch part. If it's in there cool, if not I hope you hear me out. Let me set the stage with a fact. FNAF 1's location is the ONLY time in the whole series where Guards being murdered at night by animatronics was a regular occurrence. It's easy to forget that as it was the first game in the series, but it's true. FNAF 2's location only ever had 3 guards. The first guy was William and he got out after a Week. Second guy was Jeremy who survived the Nightshift(but probably got his frontal lobe nibbled off on the following Dayshift), and the Third Guy was Fritz who is probably Micheal. There's also some notable revelations here I'll get back to in a minute. FNAF 3, one guard, probably Micheal(though some fringe theorists think it's Henry), they live. FNAF 4, no guards. FNAF SL...this one is actually kind of hard to say, FNAF 6, one guard, Micheal, dies but not because of animatronics. FNAF 2 also establishes via Phone Guy that this is the first time this sort of thing has ever happened. Guard 1's reports were thought of as impossible and it's only during Jeremy's week they start to figure out a theory(the bare endoskeleton thing) and offer up some solutions. This tells us the original location that was open for a bit after the murders either didn't have nightguards(makes sense enough, no big crime, no need) or the Puppet hadn't gotten to them yet. It also tells us Guard fatalities are something they're actively trying to avoid. But in FNAF 1? There's a whole procedure for it. Body removed, property cleaned and bleached, carpets replaced, missing person report within 90 days. A institutional solution for it combined with Phone Guy's "Most people don't last this long" implies MANY guards at this location have come and perished before Micheal arrives in 92/93(doesn't matter, but TLDR 93 has never been proven. Matpat picked it because of the Aurora Chuck E Cheese incident, the tax data said it could be anywhere from 1991-1996, and the Faz Fact that referenced it was cut and might not be canon. But that would have the work week not align with FNAF 2, which is Sunday-Saturday and has Friday the 13th as your last payday. 1992 is the only other date in which Friday the 13th and the work week line up.) This means that not only have a ton of guards died, but there's a procedure for it, meaning the company is both aware and doesn't care. But why? This isn't hugely profitable 2030s Fazbear entertainment sweeping a few missing kids and staff under the rug, this is 1990s floundering Fazbear. Why waste so much many dealing with dozens of dead guards...unless...gathering dead guards is the goal. Let me ask another question. Who is running the show in the 1990s? Henry is out the timeline from the mid 80s until right before FNAF 6, maybe he's hiding in guilt, heck, I personally buy the theory he was framed(explaining the newspaper clipping saying the suspect was convicted) and spent a couple decades in jail, starting on the FNAF 6 project right after getting out. But even if he was here, Henry would never allow any of this to happen. And I already explained above why the faceless corporate overlord types, or even Miss Afton if you wanna bring that up, wouldn't do this. The profit motive isn't there. The location is a crumbling mess and the cleanup procedure is massive and expensive. That only leaves our boy William Afton, who is alive at this point, was free as recently as 1987, and we have zero evidence he was charged for the DCI/SAVE THEM incident. William Afton was running the FNAF 1 location and funding the cleanups of stuffed, dead, guards. But why? Well, for years the fandom has talked of William doing remnant experiments, soul experiments, maybe even agony experiments. That's how we get the theory the original 5 souls may have ended up in Funtime Freddy and Ballora and eventually in Molten Freddy and The Blob. But would William really have stuck to the same handful of souls, especially as he seemingly didn't want to mess with his daughter? Why not get a larger sample size, recreate the suffering? But kids are too risky to go after, he's done that twice and gotten away by the skin of his teeth. People care about kids, but what about poor working class blokes? Transients? People no one would notice if they suddenly were to vanish. I'm of the belief the FNAF 1 location, Bear themed restaurant and all, is a honey pot. It's a trap. It would certainly explain things like the door design and power supply. Transients, Desperate people, poor workers down on their luck, read a newspaper ad, dead in a few days, stuffed and ready for testing. This theory predates the Movie, but the Movie absolutely backs it up with him encouraging people to take the job. The location may have closed in 92/93, but the FNAF 2 ending and Phone Guy lines suggest it may have opened up far sooner than that, within a year of the FNAF 2 location closing. Dozens of men could have died there before the place finally closed at 'years end' a few weeks after Micheals run. And seemingly it didn't work. Maybe because the suffering wasn't enough. Maybe these men lacked the hope to hold on that the kids did, drained by a terrible life prior. Or maybe it's simply because The Puppet had cottoned on and wasn't going to help bring anyone back. Not anymore.(We know they were at the FNAF 1 location, both from the timeline and the FNAF 2 cutscenes, yet we never see them. Curious). So eventually as the place shut down William decided to take a closer look at the originals. Break them up, study their bits, perhaps reuse them. What made them special? And it would explain why that original remnant kept being re-used, the circumstances were specific and it was so hard to get more. They were no longer needed as unintentional killers. And Sister Location? Which most people place next to FNAF 1 in the timeline(either before or after depends). While it's not as blatant, it's the only other location with HINTS of prior guard fatalities. Plus the two technitions. Curious then this is the one place we know was fully a William operation. That's the main theory. All above. FNAF 1 location is a trap to lure in guards to get stuffed and use for remnant experiments. It didn't work, so William eventually scrapped the animatronics to study directly after it closed. Ok, here's the bit of a stretch part. Phone Guy. The eternal enigma. Leading candidate to be the Purple Guy for over a year. We know he was innocent, and in hindsight it was kind of obvious from the start(The FNAF 2 phonecalls very clearly tell us it's the Dayshift Guard/Former Nightguars, and they aren't the same person as Phone Guy. Heck they trick Phone Guy). But he's definitely sketchy. He helps hide what's going on in the FNAF 2 location, covers up Springsuit fatalities, organizes the saferooms being sealed, and knows very well what's happening to all the guards at the FNAF 1 location. He's not a killer, but he is a diehard company loyalist who has been complicit in and helped cover up numerous crimes. Bit of a toadie. And we also have evidence William has blackmailed and threatened people more than once. He got the Funtime Designs past those execs who knew what they were for. SOMEONE was arrested in the 80s for the MCI and it clearly wasn't him. (Henry is the prime theory as it explains a bunch of other things, but back in the day a popular option was 'the guy in the foxy costume from Foxy Go Go' or 'One of the other bullies from Fnaf 4). This coo-coo banana pants theory is that Phone Guy was essentially strong-armed into being William's igor and right hand man in running the FNAF 1 location, handling the logistics of the new hires and managing the clean ups. Phone Guy is a toadie to start with(as shown above) and William could easily threaten to either frame him for the DCI/Save Them, or just leak all the audio of Phone Guy covering up various deaths on behalf of Fazbear over the years(probably edited to relieve William of any blame). The tapes were in the same room as Springbonnie, he has access to them. That would explain why Phone Guy, while not being THE killer, is clearly involved in so much nasty business. Toadie to William to the end, especially when being credibly threatened. It would also explain why in FNAF 1, despite towing the line and never fully telling you to 'leave and never come back' or something sensible like that, he does TRY to give subtle hints to either help you out or warn out without crossing the line. His previous deeds were very impersonal and detatched, he was the middleman, not the cause. Now he's directly involved like never before, he can't write off the blame in his mind anymore, "only following orders" is a lot harder when you're there in person and leading people to their deaths directly. (BTW, great title for a Phone Guy theory video. Only Following Orders). So he's trying desperately to get some warnings out in-between dismissing them and legal jargon and lying to you about the cause of the malfunction. This would also explain his fate. While Phone Guy had nominally been a guard since the place opened(as indicated by his FNAF 2 dialogue), it was obviously more of a training role, head guard, served only on paper in a lot of ways. He wasn't doing it weekly for all those years. But I'm guessing his disobediance and evidence of trying to sneak out warnings eventually came to Williams attention. Which combined with the fact all the Stuffed Guards were not working out in the experiments and William was probably getting angry...he sent Phone Guy to do things in person, and ensured he'd never come back. It was indeed his last week, just as promised.
Okay wow. This is actually really cool theory to start off with and I'd totally want to make a video about it! (Giving you credit ofc) I'd just quickly add some thoughts and imma do some extra research to ground everything. Something that I noticed is there is never really a clear date of when it goes from being a Co owned business to a company. I'd assume it would be in between fnaf 1 and fnaf 6 considering that's really the first time we hear "Faz bear entertainment" So it was probably easier for William to cover up things if not a full company. I would have to check more about the aresst and poster clippings but I'm fairly confident it was William who was released due to lack of evidence. It was said to be that way in the silver eyes and into the pit I believe. (As I said I will do more research on all of this) The fnaf 1 location being the glue trap for night guards does actually make a lot of sense. There are some issues here and there with the idea, but it's the same with literally every other idea in this series lol. It probably was enough and everything for the souls and William just brought them back to the bunker because he does tests there and stuff but who really knows. As I said I'd look more into this before I'd do any video stuff but I love the idea! Phone guy being and accomplice to William would make a lot of sense actually. I'd imagine everyone who works in the higher positions would have to know. Or maybe... PHONE GUY IS PURPLE GUY!!!! Jk, but there are still problems with it. I'd doubt afton could get whatever animatronic to kill the phone guy with ease unless the movie picture system also some how works in the games but I also like that one and will also look further into it. So with your permission I'd love to make a video about these! And even if you don't want me too I greatly thank you for the insight. Genuinely amazing :)
Thank you for the amazing comment! I would also love to make longer videos. The issue is for me to make them in my style at the quality they are I already take all week. Making them longer would either require more help or a drop in quality/change in style. But I'll see what I can do :)

That's what I talked about. The point of this video was that although many knew this no body talks about it because we forgot it
0:12 Loved that joke lmao
I feel like we as a community forget or wash over things so often do to what big creators tell us and we can go years developing theories on top of something that originally wasn’t even true. I feel like a couple times Scott has just *gone* with whatever the community was thinking even if it was contradictory.
I 100% have done this and I'm trying to find out what was fact and what was just a theory I saw a long time ago lmao ^^'
BEARable is just the perfect joke and i think you don't remember me but i am the guy who you help talk to FuhNaff and say my help wanted 2 theory by super chatting to say my theory
Thank you and I would never forget you! I may not always remember the name but I will always recognize that pfp you changed it too :)
been watching 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' all day. forgot to be on youtube at all.
