You need to do a lot more of these because I got this phobia and I like these creepy videos

I think it’s cool

Is submecanophobia is that real?

Submechanaphobia is so interesting to learn about! Thanks for teaching us again!

Do Another submecanlphobia list form Disneyland and Universal studios and love you and have a good day

Ikr, just thinking about falling into the water and suddenly getting stuck with the robot is terrifying

I agree 👍

I gotta ask, as someone who can /kinda/ understand the horror of being stuck in a place you aren't allowed in (but doesn't have submechanophobia)-- what makes being in the water with automated things particularly terrifying to you? My intent isn't to make fun of anyone, nor make a mockery of the fear, I just want to try and understand where it stems from. I imagine it can be several factors, and it's not the same for everyone?

@@mistahchad220 totally valid question. I have submechanophobia to a moderate degree, and honestly couldn’t tell you what about man made things underwater is scary. Even watching documentaries of sunken wrecks like the Titanic, I get shivers and have to turn away whenever they show things under the water. There’s just some irrational part of me that is absolutely terrified of it. And don’t get me wrong, I love swimming, and natural formations under water don’t scare me at all. It’s a weird thing, but I’m so happy it doesn’t keep me from swimming and stuff 😂

@@mistahchad220 can be diff for many people. For me it’s the sense of wrong essentially. I’m afraid of everything about water, oceans, sea creatures in general on top of automated things. It’s the idea of “I’m not made for this environment, it’s not my domain.” Just like birds rule the sky, sharks and fish rule the ocean, we humans have the land. I’m essentially free game to everything down there, and at a significant disadvantage being in water overall and refuse to go in water (unless up to knees-ish.) so with this fear on top of automated machines that could tower over me, overpower me with the sheer force of hydraulics and compressors, designs that can be purposefully frightening or just uncanny, and possible electricity mixed with water it just sends so many nope signals. Hard to describe honestly which is why a part of me is also very interested in these things like you lol. Idk if that helps but I tried a bit haha.

They have a documentary on Disney plus about the people who go underwater to clean the animatronics. It’s called one day at Disney

You literally could not pay me enough 🤢

It is not under water- it is just supposed to be, if you have ever been on the ride when the music cuts, it’s even more obvious. *** My apologies I was referring to the one at Epcot’s Nemo***

My brother pretended to push me off the boat on jungle cruise and my arm dipped down in the water and I was like “fri-“. Luckily I didn’t fall in.

@@ms_riles oh my god I would literally cry damn

I think that's by design to obscure the underwater mechanics.

@@shinyagumon7015 yeah its most likely a dye of some sort

@@lildominator2953 I think they also use it do disguise the underwater tracks in their dark rides or the once of the Mark Twain Riverboats

It's not mucky it's dyed lol

@@Emisop how do you know?

I jus subbed

truee

I went to there and I first experienced submechanophobia I saw... the god damn... light fish

yes thank you!! like the only things that are actually scary in this video is 9 and 10

I remember I freaked out so bad the first time I got on because of that little girl with the braces swimming there, the worst part was she wasn’t even in the dark it was in broad daylight 😂

My brother and cousin got stuck on Crush's coaster once in Disneyland Paris. They were looking right at a massive shark for 15 minutes before they could finally leave the cart. Then they had to walk through the ride, back to the station. I'm so happy i was still waiting in the queue and didn't have to experience that!

Honestly, I would die if that happened to me. Even though, I don’t have submechanophobia

I was stuck at that exact part. I was freaking out in my head till the boat moved again.

I remember i got stuck on there and I felt like I was having a panic attack. Luckily they opened the hatches and I felt better.

i got stuck on the harry potter ride at universal right in front of aragog. this would've been great if i didn't have severe arachnophobia.

Ikr especially boats that’s just terrifying to me like i want to go scuba diving but I’m terrified to find something that isn’t there all submerged and just freak out because it’s all rusted and decaying it just terrifies me I’d have a panic attack on the spot

Me too I hate when old rotting thing are submerged it’s just eeeeeeeee

One of the serpents in his abondonded animatronics video was like that. Looked creepy

Yea, my discomfort stems more from the old, broken and/or decaying aspect of abandoned things more than the underwater part - though for some reason being underwater does make it more unsettling. I also have a thing about eyes that glow or are obscured (i.e. milky cataracts on zombies), so the Flotsam, Jetsam and Tick Tock ones really got to me because of that, and that angler fish can go f- itself. I can't say I have submechanophobia per se as most of the other submerged animatronics didn't bother me at all, it's just the ones with glowing eyes or hinted at being decayed that did.

@@Dargonhuman Yeah, i just hate when you realize that it isn't supposed to be underwater by now. It just feels so weird, scary, and even disgusting.

I hate this🤢😬

Hell no.

Literally one of my worst fears

That actually happened to a man on the old "jaws" ride at Universal studios-

Pls id cry

ayo I've felt this and i got made fun of for screaming 😭😭

Never swimming again 😃🔫

@Christie Williams oh shit-

Well fruck, I guess I ain't swimming again

it’s happened to me 😬

Uuuuggghhh.... NOPE nope nope nope nope *shudders*

Ive had nightmares about that lollllll

HEEELLLLL NO

What ride in universal has a angler fish?

@@Jbail2322 reread the comment

yes! oh god brickley completely terrifies me. a picture of just his face makes him look funny and goofy but zoom out to see that the sculpture is partly submerged with those water scum rings on it makes him seem menacing, i hate it

Personally, I love Brickley. But the filth? Wretched. It’s so much worse in person, you look down and it looks like he’s rotting away.

Seriously I’m dumb founded seeing people scared of a fuckin goofy ass LEGO figure I mean I get that part about the “rotting effect” that’s gross but how are people fucking scared of lego

@@bobthechunkychicken8025 tbh i totally get what youre saying and the hilarity of it but the absolute Dread and Unnerving feelings i got while seeing it in person is telling me "RUN BITCH". Like i couldn't even get close to the railing in front of it and i think my knees even started to shake getting vaguely near it To me the Horror is like i feel like its gonna fucking move, jump out of the water and attack me. Like I'm just thinking "whats under the water?! WHATS UNDER THE WATER?!?! WHATS HIDING UNDER THE FUCKING WATER???!!!!" Its the complete Terror of not knowing whats hiding under the murky water and fearing itll jump out and attack me. And now to share a personal story probably explaning my fear. I remember as a kid i went to a forest preserve and there was a fish tank installed in the wall of a building there that was extremely murky and filled with kelp and random garbage. I distinctly remember there being an old typewriter and a little tricycle in there. (It was there to get people to stop littering btw) And i was fucking TERRIFIED of it. Like i was terrified of a dark fish tank with an old typewriter and a metal tricycle! Theres a little suv sized pond near my house and I'm terrified of it cause its all green and algae infested i hate it

@@bobthechunkychicken8025 I don't think it's just the lego itself. It's how the rotting effect, murky water, and Brickley's big size and partially submerged body all come together to give that creepy feeling. But honestly, I think usually dark/murky waters are one of the biggest contributing factors in submechanophobia. I'd think that Brickley would be much less scary if he was displayed on land.

okkkkk bruOHU I dIIIII- X_X

I know right! That would be one of my dreams (i really love little mermaid and they are prob my fave henchmen ever)

They were really impressive, from what I remember.

They were definitely a sight to behold

True!!! They look so badass!!!!

Yeah, Disney doesn't do anything halfway.

As a kid, I was swimming in a lake and my cousin pushed me under a floating dock. I had to grab the sides of it to get out from under it because I couldn't see the place I had managed to get dunked through because it was a bit dark and the mud had been stirred up so much from our playing. I saw EVERYHTING there and had to put my hands on it. I thought I was going to die.

Yeah, my aunt has a lake house that has water lines running through the whole lake, under the beaches and up to the houses. I refuse to swim in it after touching one of them while fairly deep into the lake lmao. I can't do docks either I don't want to be anywhere near them

or when you cant see what’s under the water and it’s left to the imagination 😭

Your Wayward Destiny ayo get a new cousin

Lmao I'm just scared of animatronics in water in general idk about you guys, and what about the sinking Titanic does that trigger it?

I’m so fascinated by them you could definitely pay me to get in that water. For some reason I think they’re the coolest

@@scream-7719 Like for me it's thrilling to see them because they are fascinating but I still could not go anywhere near them.

@@DreamscapeSYN Spicy Berd?

I have a active imagination ( both clean and dirty) so if I see a big ass animal with teeth underwater, i just think it's gonna move, but other props on land I can hug, I'm such a wimp

It's just the fact that there's this animatronic in black water just scares me especially if your on some boat and just seeing this tall animatronic rise from the oily water

@@whitewolf7004 yep yep

Does the Anglerfish still scare you as an adult?

@@diegofavaratozfilms962 a little, not as much but a little

@@sharkboi2354 Imagine fixing the Angler fish and the effects came on out of nowhere. Instant no!

@@anubiscorrin7559 Ditto!!! Just the movie version scared the hell outta me as a kid, but THIS THING made me say NOPE! the first time I rode it.

@Conor Garcia I would quit too. And thank you

@@anubiscorrin7559 I want to try to say something because of how scary that sounds, but I don’t know what words to use because of how scary that sounds

I stayed up doing whatnot past midnight, attempted to watch these videos for the thrill of it, and literally could not make it a minute in. I might not ever see Disney movies the same way again lol

I don’t make sense sometimes. I’m not afraid of dark, murky waters, but I am afraid of any animatronic despite if it’s in water of not?

During my second time in WDW, I really wanted to stay in the Floridian hotel. My didn’t want us to mainly because of that alligator accident. She kept telling us to stay away from the lake whenever we were hanging out there. Made me sad but at least now I know why

The Tick Tock prop was in California, while the incident took place in Florida.

i know it's a typo but seeing "having to go underwear" made me giggle. it's like that scene in spaceballs: "they've gone to PLAID!"

mscaptmarv 🤣🤣🤣

Id rather die.

I always figured they'd be taken out of the water to be fixed and then put back but apparently not lmao.

@@verminscum probably they are for bigger things, but for everyday maintenance/small stuff it makes more sense to just keep them underwater. imagine having to hook them back up after a refurb.

Same here I'll drown

What scares me most is getting electrocuted

@@gingerale1861 i get it, but you must not have submechaniphobia because that is DEFINITELY not the bad part

haven’t finished the video so I’m not sure if he mentions it but on the Universal Studios Jaws ride, one time a man leaned too hard on the railing and he fell straight into the water right at one of the deeper points where the robot would swim, and he mentioned later that it activated to jump out at people and it looked like it was coming straight for him.

Pretty sure it is a huge influence on where my own submechaniphobia, straight up nightmare fuel

Yeah as much as i love the eels i would legit scream if i were getting into a pool at night and i just saw their glowing eyes.

I would never go

@Conor Garcia BAHAHAHA

YESSS IT WPULD BR COOLER PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUBMECHANOPHIBIA: uh oh Yes I spelled it wrong

Let's make rapture... that will help.

IT EVEN WORKS UNDERWATER

DEAR GOD I'd have a heart attack AND drown from horror!!!

Now you understand why this is a phobia lol

I’d just sease to exsiste hell to the no

I don't have submechanophobia but a form of ommetaphobia (fear of eyes) that's focused (heh) on glowing or milky eyes, so that happening with the angler fish would trigger me on that ground alone.

Hi why is this a thing? The ocean itself is terrifying. Why is the thought of animatronics underneath so fkn creepy. It's like the fear of the ocean + the fear of animatronics together. Why does this make sense. It's so creepy and i dont wven go to amusement parks damn

You mean a Xenomorph

*i said what i said*

Same. I know people like monstro in that area but I really wish they would remove it or make it in a build so people can see if they like it. Or just change the attention like Walt want to

When I was a tiny child my mom took me to see Pinocchio in the theater (not the original run, I'm not that old. They were playing it on a military base) and when the scene with Monstro happened I started screaming so bad that she had to take me and leave. Obviously I don't scream anymore when I see it, but I'm 39 and I still have a very strong reaction to him. I haven't been to Disneyland yet but I think it would take some serious convincing to get me to willingly sail into his mouth.

Bumble Bee Zero yeah I was the same way. Donkey scene totally fine for the most part. Monstro on the other hand was a nope nope. It does not help he has human teeth

Fun fact: whales do not swallow anything larger than plankton, so they aren’t a threat to humans ( we are more of a threat to THEM)

@@dragonslayersworkshop8598 Funner fact: There are different kinds of whales in the Earths' seas. Orca, for example, will slay a blue whale, often just to eat only the tongue; while sperm whales will include *kraken* on their dinner menus.

Lol

That's exactly what I was thinking.

I went to the comments, just to see someone say this

😂 Best joke ever!

Tik Tok is ducking Garbage!!!

i'm mildly creeped out by well-kept things underwater. add abandonment/wear-and-tear and oh god.

Oh yeah that scares the hell outa me

I'm scared of the alligator from Peter pan when it makes the tic tok sound that means the alligator is coming

Same I have thalassophobia (fear of deep dark water) so that triggers it

Yeah, its like your trapped with them and if you drown its the last thing you'll ever see

😂

OMG NOOOO I HADNT THOUGHT ABIUT THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE TO GO IN THE WATER TO FIX THEM!

The chains on it seem to suggest an enslaved spirit… a terrifying idea

I would get scared if they made Bruce the shark as an animatronic I would think that Bruce might eat me and the people that are on finding nemo like um you know that part where Bruce almost ate marlin and dory yeah I got so scared of that part

Is it weird that, as a young kid, the anglerfish was my favourite part of the movie? I ended up doing a presentation on them in the 3rd grade when most others did presentations on whales, dolphins, and more common (less freaky looking) fish. I still love them as an adult, but it certainly gave me a few weird looks as a kid, lol. :)

@@waffleauflauf4213 I mean I guess if I say an anglerfish in real life I wouldn't be as freaked out because from what I understand they are pretty small and I guess harmless to people? Not that we'd be able to interact with them anyway since they live in the deepest crevices of the ocean. But still, the way they built this creature in the ride itself freaks me the f*** out!

I remember there was a story, I think in a commentary track on the DVDs, that enough test audiences found the anglerfish so terrifying that the creators were worried they were going to have to remove the scene. But then a nerdy kid in one of the test audiences defended it by saying they shouldn't have to downplay how terrifying nature can be, so they got to leave it in. (Might not be 100% correct, it's been a while since I've watched this.)

That's what I was talking about

Brickly is adorable imo. But, I don't even have submechanophobia and I find it unnerving. Those wide, unblinking eyes and its wide mouth kind of put me off.

At my zoo where I live they have a dinosaur experience that comes and goes and my mom took me and made me stand in front of the trex animatronic and I was so scared that it would eat me.

so me

I did the same !! 😭

Note to self never go to any finding memo ride at Disney

I went on it once my brain said never again

The anglerfish was the reason why I'm never riding that ride again

That is probably what I would do if a ever go on that ride

The part that makes them horrifying is knowing one of them capsized!!!! I’d hate to be the driver, and I’d cry if it capsized. They should be higher for sure, and monstro a bit lower. True story - the angler is what made me realize I hated underwater animatronics/sculptures. I went on it once when it opened, saw that thing, realized it was a physical figure underwater a few feet from me, and I’ve never been on it since.

They are probably the most badass disney henchmen and it made me kinda sad when they died after watching the movie recently.
