"And here children, we see matpat's first step in his descent to madness"
@Punkimp you descend into madness not Ascend
“He did not survive”
@Punkimp *Ascend
No he’s right
Cool
2014: You, Mike, are the murder.
2022: Mike is trying to right the wrongs of his father, trying to put the spirits of the victims to rest. He's the hero of this series.
...
Also, he's an anamatronic now.
Oof
@♤Itz•Zoe♡Jenna MIke ain't the FNaF-3 Night-gruad.
@Giovanni Franco-Gonzalez true 😃
Matpat 2014: Kids were stuffed inside the FNAF animatronics.
Matpat 2022: Golden Freddy is a controlling god.
Mat pat in 9706: Bon Bon made The Five nights at Freddy’s METAVERSE
@Stargamer LP would he even live that long or would his spirit just be like "HELLO INTERNET IT HAS BEEN YEARS"
@Nahhh Jit Trippin ! conscience means a guilt feeling you have in yourself
@Stargamer LP LMFAO 😆
@Killian matpat in 8096
What an interesting looking game. Simple on the outside yet complicated when you look deeper in. Hope you do more on it and the following installments in the series!
Do you know what you just said
me in 2014
HA
But he already made other videos and it’s been out for years now.
@SnakeGamr Have you seen the trailer for FNAF 3!?
If you listen carefully, you can just barely hear the Future MatPat crying in the distance...
Oh yeah
BKuz dat'z apparently wrong incorrect lore and not de lore accordin'ly with da majority of de FNaF-FanDom.
🎶And if you listen really close you can hear FUTURE MATPAT CRYING IN THE DISTANCE la la la la la la🎶
Yep
True true :)
Idk why but i just love how Matpat refers to Scott simply as “the game’s creator” in this first video
I like that MatPat started with telling you that the first game is your personal hell as you play as the murderer, but then the entire plot if Ultimate Custom Night is exactly that.
He found out custom night's premise 3 years before it came out lol
" A nightmare due to your deeds of killing" "A special hell for you"
Sounds like UCN to me more than anything
So MatPat either coincidentally mentioned it or Scott took notice and....the rest is history
Scott Cawthon after watching this: “Ferb, I know what we’re gonna do today.”
and for the next 7 f**king years
Ferb: you’re not my brother
Binging this series is like watching a never-ending schizophrenic episode
I’m gonna get to half way and then suddenly boom another 100 episodes
Agreed.
@nmm_01 XD
XD i cant f#ck, HAHAHAHAH!H
Wait, does it mean NOW we know better and "it's me" is the crying child? 🥺 And you aren't the one who did it, just, look like William? I'm still not entirely following the story but by now... Everything is so much more complete. Do we know now??
Watching this 7 years later is a new level of nostalgia, can’t believe I watched this when it first came out
Coming back to this 7 years later, it makes much more sense than the actual story😂
This feels SO REFRESHING compared to newer FNAF theories. Things where truly simpler back then...
mat: "youve probably never heard of it its called Five Nights at Freddys"
literally everyone now: .
I'm pretty sure Mat was being sarcastic there-- FNAF was big even then
Remember, Matpat would still have his sanity had we chosen Slenderman.
Tbf He would also have significantly less money
Yeah, but FNAF would probably be a lot smaller and unpopular than it is
I honestly want him to do a Slender Theory
Imagine how different things would've been
true
I love how this will take like more then seven years but now he’s thinking “ this is gonna be one easy episode”
I love how the comment section on this video despite being almost 8 years old is still super active it’s amazing, god I love this community
I know right.
It's funny how after like 60 more theory's we have such a different outlook of the franchise
it literally took matpat 2 minutes and 7 seconds for his intro to finish
truly the peak of content
“What’s the complete story behind Five Nights at Freddy’s?”
Scott: Hell if I know
Scott: I'm just making things up and working off of matpat's theroys
hes just making stuff up as it goes along
Literally (eyyyyy)
1:54
This is the first time he sees something lore defying and he won’t realize for years.
Good old Cassidy jumpscare
5:47
2014: "what is the compete story behind Five Nights at Freddy's?"
2022: *cries in remnant*
It's funny seeing how he didn't take it seriously in the beginning.
Now he's paying the price and going insane over lore
this whole series is around 20 hrs of animating and talking. I'm gonna watch it all in one sitting
how did it go
Amazing. I just began watching all GT FNAF videos in order, starting with this one... and it's fascinating to see MatPat take his first steps into the brilliant, horrifying madness that would eventually rope me into watching GT to begin with. I never played FNAF, I just loved the GT videos on it, and hopefully after working through them in chronological order I will be somewhat more proficient in questions of lore and order (still waiting for MatPat to use that one). But the added benefit of witnessing the beginnings instead of just dropping in at the end as I did... I can't wait.
Who else is gonna binge watch all of MatPat's FNAF theories because they have nothing better to do.
Hello here to join
Yeah
*raises hand*
meee
I love how he calls it the scariest game ever and over reacts to everything its funny af
I love how even episode one he was scared from the fan 😂
“Just the fan, just the fan”
It’s so odd looking back on these old videos knowing how far fnaf has come over the years and how much work mat had put into this series.
The fact that MatPat said "SWEET DREAMS!" and started cackling when I was about to go to bed!
FNAF in 2014 be like: *Simple horror game with simple lore*
FNAF in 2020 be like: *T I M E - T R A V E L L I N G B A L L - P I T*
@Gabriel Gatica a garage door spring can take a head off, spring loaded mechanical components can DEFINITELY kill a person under the right circumstances.
also we have walking robots right now, so one of those getting haunted is still less suspension of disbelief than a ballpit that can inexplicably move people through time
XD
LMFAOOOOOOO
@Springtrap yikes, break up by Ballora.
what?
odd how all of his theories are lore but this one is about real events
After seven years….I’m binging this. And I love the “You probably never heard of it” in the intro-
i’ve rewatched this series countless times, but this episode ALWAYS gives me chills- well done.
“What more can we know about this terrifying golden Freddy.” Oh boy….
2014 matpat: explaining in detail the backstory of this game, sounding lowkey terrified/disgusted the whole time
2020 matpat: right, so we have the dead children and whatever, but let’s gloss over all of that, so today i’m going to talk about the time traveling ball pit-
the good thing is that the time traveling ball pit isn't real Scott just use it to explain about the murders of 1985
HaHaHa TiMe TrAvAlInG BaLl PiT sO fUnNy!!1!!1!!!
Seriously can people shut up about that? It’s cannon to the series so therefore it’s important to talk about it. He made many theories about the dead children, and guess what, that theory actually included dead children. I wish ESclips added an “oldest first” option so I won’t have to see these bullshit comments.
Frfr lmao
Amitabh Chakraborty yes this was for comedic purposes
I feel like this is what 5 nights at Freddy's was meant to be, give or take a little bit of extra lore like the crying child posters that appear, but after seeing the theories and success around this first installment, he adapted the story and continued it as his own.
8 years later and here to say: he sounded so confident.
MatPat: But that story leaves, a LOT of lingering questions.
Yes, yes it does
The amount of nostalgia this makes me feel cannot be described by words
I love how he talks so lightly on this like he was only gonna do one episode.
Boy, he was wrong.
Laughs in 56 videos*
hah, the simple times
Laughs 7 years later…
Love the intro is just Matpat making fun of creators who over play the game into an eldritch nightmare.
I like how he’s more scared of the fan than the actual jumps are 😂
I just realized that this theory parallels with MatPat's UCN theory
Both theories have the security guard being stuck in a personal h#ll due to them murdering some kids and them going on to posses the robots with them reminding you what you've done and how they won't let u escape even after doing 5 nights
Just noticed it and wondered if this was a coincidence
I love watching these videos over and over it so interesting
Remember when the most complicated FNAF theory was “it’s based on a real life Chuck E Cheese incident?” Life was so much more innocent then
Matpat then: this is very scary because of the murder
Matpat now: M u S i C M a N
I remember these coming out when I was in (middle school, I believe), and the lore creeped me out but intrigued. Now I’m 20 coming back, not near as scary but definitely still an experience!
Someday I hope to find the alternate universe where matpat has 800 episodes on slender
2014 fnaf lore: kids went missing and someone brain get bit
2020 fnaf lore: hehe ball pit time travel go brrrr
Haha now thats funny thats now harder cuz we got security breach
Ok did you find the background noise distracting during your re watch or that just me?
@Luna LG yes
Somehow Scott made it work
Got dem 666 likes
"What is the complete story of Five Nights at Freddy's?" That one question will take about the rest of his life to answer.
I love the fact that ultimate custom night is like Matt’s first theory. “Personal hell” kinda fhing
I like it how in this video the way he acts is legit surprising that he talks about fnaf so much today.
I love that 7 years later I can come back to this episode and still enjoy what Mat has on offer, mainly cause Scott hasnt made several books, games and so many twisting lore decisions that it just turns the whole games lore on its head
6 years, jesus christ, I remember when this just came out, when Fnaf was still the hype, and It was so popular. Those days were confusing and weird, but I miss it.
@Jonathan Joestar
Hello great great grandfather.
@BirdTheNerd
Agreed I miss the early 2000s
@Mystery nerd yep
Yesss. I miss the simpler days...
@Otterpopp tiktok is cancer
I forgot how much sense the first few theories made... Brings back a lot of memories
Looking back at this... god, when the games first came out I was so scared of this series and I LIVED IN AURORA COLORADO!!! If I had found this theory when I was young I would have shat my pants...
i love watching these old theories just because of how matpat’s grown with them
this theory goes hard, i still love revisiting this one. i kinda wish the lore built on this and not..what it is now
Matpat: This game really isn't that interesting.
Scott: *Let's fix that with a controlled shock*
nonono let's fix that with a 16ft tall trash rabbit and mind control
Facts 😂🤣
Let's motivate him with a controlled shock :)
@Kinnunen Corp 😌👌
that didn't exist as of the video being recorded
I remember watching this as a kid the editing still holds up, especially the music, gives me the chills!
i've loved this series ever since it came out and looking back on these videos just makes me happy
Welp, guess I'm binging this series again.
Same here🙂🙂
This series is the embodiment of:
But wait! There's more!
When Matpat finally hits the bottom of the story, Scott chucks him a shovel and tells him to keep digging
Yup, still digging-
@Akira Kurusu he’s on mars now
XD
@Sean Terry the other side of Earth now
😭😭
The beginning, of a legacy, of the longest running mystery of an indie horror game.
I love coming back to these videos, it's so lovely to rewatch things from the past
The part that always gets me is when MatPat's making fun of FNaF's gameplay, then gets jumpscared by Golden Freddy
I like how he stares at the golden Freddy picture without noticing and puts the monitor down and gets killed
Matpat: You've probably never heard of it, it's called "Five Nights at Freddy's"
Me, watching through all of Matpat's FNAF theories for the 100th time: Nope. Never.
Yes! This was what I was searching for!
same
Ayyyy I’m the 1000th like!!
good to know i’m not the only person who specifically rewatches the fnaf theories constantly
same
The mix of sarcastically scared mat and then genuinely scared Mat is amazing
I'm watching this 7 years in the future there's the new game security breach and holy Jesus Christ there's been way too many theories on this game done by this channel
it's so crazy looking back on these game theories knowing what he got right/wrong
This game is the reason why i started watching game theory, thank you scott for making this game, thank you community fir choosing the game and thank you scott for making it
One thing no one mentioned in the comments is how respectful Matpat was when talking about the Chuck E. Cheese murders. He's obviously being careful with his words so his theory sounds plausible AND respects the families of the victims. Not many ESclipsrs do that.
Sangwoo back from the dead speaking more words of wisdom! But in all seriousness, I agree that he handled the deaths so respectfully, despite not having to. But of course, MatPat is always respectful, so it's unsurprising.
We've stepped into wholesome territory these last 3 comments
@Oh Sangwoo OMG I DIDNT REALIZE YOUR NAME TAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Sangwoo's Mom OH MY GOD MUM-
Right I never really understood what he was talking about when I was younger
It's amazing to think how this single theory and a few let's plays managed to launch a last attempt game into being one of the biggest franchise in years
Watching this again feels really nostalgic.
Yup, definitely see that dark recording closet he always mentions
2014 mat: actually making sense with this theory
Scott: more games more games! Can’t let him be right
Even though we know this is not the real background story, it is a really good theory for what information Matt had at the time.
I live watching his fanf theory
Tbh it could have been correct I highly doubt Scott though fnaf would become this popular and most likely didn't create such a complex timeline/lore in the first place.
For real
Hm. But what if... It is the timeline? What if Scott is somehow misdirecting us, and this whole game was the original theory?
Or this is literally a MatPat Insanity simulator, WHO KNOWS?!
It's my favourite out of all the game theory's
This is literally my comfort series 😂
Matpat: Now if you were to play the game straight through, five days, the story would actually come across as pretty superficial
Me: oh boy…
You know it’s kinda fun at how much emphasis he puts on Bonnie in the intro considering how important bunnies become in the franchise. :)
The acting at the start of ghe video is amazing
Still a great vid till this day
MatPat: does 1 fnaf theory
Scott: Finally! A worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!!!
@Ugandan knuckles you are correct my friend
@Ugandan knuckles ah yes forgive me for my foolishness
I was going to like but your likes are 777
And now I begin the journey of watching the entire series start to finish
But I gotta admit I really miss when this was how convoluted the story was
little did he know.. he would make 50 more episodes of this
I love how this series starts as nothing to matpat but now days its his whole channel.
I miss when the fact that there was a fifth animatronic was a huge revelation
Remember the good ol times when "Its been so long" came out and everyone thought that the spirit of Puppet was Golden Freddys mom?
6 endo-01
Now it’s more like
Finds one hundred new animatronics:meh
Finds one Easter egg: OH MY GOD NEW PART THE THE LORE!!!
Yea-
exactly-
I like how in the opening he’s straight up mocking it, and now I fully believe Scott Cawthon just made more FNAF lore with the sole intent of trolling Matt.
MatPat 2014: You are a murderer!
MatPat 2022: And here, a child is actually a robot, which has a brother that is actually another robot, and his father is a robot, dont forget to mention his sister! she is also a robot!
Watching this like.... 7 years int he future, it makes me laugh with delight at how carefree his voice is
oh Matpat of 2014, I hope you enjoy your last moments of happiness
Not me watching this 8 years later and laughing at how different he was back then 😂
“Game over. Play something new.”
He didn’t follow his own advice, it’s 2020.
I was your 1000th like
"But playing that way is doing the game a huge disservice."
-Literally the next line
Lol
True
This was released 7 years ago- his videos have changed lots over the years. But one thing is the same. It still reveals interesting facts, and its fun to watch!
Wow, Five Nights at Freddy's, what an interesting title. Never heard of this game before. I hope someone doesn't make an entire lore and theories about it.
Remember when he did only one theory per game?
ah, nostalgia. How very, very different this series was back in 2014
"What is the FULL story of Five Nights at Freddy's?"
Yeah, give it about... (checks watch) 5ish years.
at minimum. its probably never going to end.
More games coming soon
Probably 65968, actually
Yuppppp xD
(Checks watch)
It’s about 1987.
Nothings happened yet.
Love how he was playing the game in the dark, then being terrified
