Sexualized Chica still remains one of the most confusing things on the internet The fact that there's been a dead child stuffed inside it should probably be a turn off

The reason Scott keeps releasing new games is because he just wants to get to Fnaf 57 to make that one joke.

The FNaF phase is never truly gone, it just lays dormant in your mind waiting to jump at you again.

I love how everyone says jumpscares aren't scary. And then there's me, who shits himself the second I hear something fall in the room next to me.

I love how they said “Bro your characters are too creepy” and Scott just went BINGO

Imagine being one of the people that told Scott his characters were creepy and subsequently launching his entire career

If I had a nickel for everytime I saw a 1 hour+ FNAF retrospective, I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice.

I always say that jumpscares are not scary, just surprising. Anything that screams in your ears out of nowhere while surprise you.

I hate it when people act like Scott is just milking the franchise. A lot of the money he makes goes to charity, he actually made a free game for MatPat to play so he can donate money to charity, plus the first five games only costed $7.99 (except for one which costed $5), and how about after FNaF 5? Pizzeria Simulator, free. Ultimate Custom Night, free. World, FREE. Pretty sure the highest price a FNaF game has ever been was Help Wanted with it being $19.99, maybe Security Breach will beat that but he is now working with another studio so it’d be understandable. Edit: I don’t get people who think they’re right about everything and think other people should dislike and like whatever they think should be disliked or liked, all people have their own opinions, so don’t act like everyone should have the same as yours. Edit 2: Jesus this has gotten out of hand :/

I like how everytime Markaplier is on screen, he's crying or saying "the bite of 87"

11:03 Fun Fact: Golden Freddy was originally called just Yellow Bear, but since he was dubbed by Markiplier and the rest of the community as Golden Freddy, that name stuck and Scott just went with it. 13:34 Also, Marionette is the official name. However, since Dawko and the rest of the community call it the Puppet, that name works too.

I can't wait for the inevitable "FNAF Security Breach was pretty disappointing". EDIT: called it

sorry kiddo there's only room for ONE sonic channel on KZfaq.

2015: "NOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T LIKE FNAF IT'S CRINGE HGFSKJTYSJZFJXYFJKXS" 2020: "ha ha man behind the slaughter go stab stab"

From a game development point of view, the first FNAF game was amazing. He took limited budget and resources and made the most of it.

I remember watching Game Theory's FNAF videos religiously, quite tempted to rewatch them because of this just for the story

I still love how this series started off as just trying to find out why the animatronics attacked you, and now we have malware that's taken on its programmer's serial killer tendencies as the main villain.

"I was a Five Nights at Freddy's kid" We all were Mark. We all were...

18:03 "Oh no. Did FNAF finally jumped a shark animatronic?" Felix the Shark foreshadowing. 🦈

“Where’s yer self werth America” says the man who is both a sonic and FNAF fan.

One thing I appreciate about each FNAF game is how they each have different gameplay ideas. 1: doors and power management 2: mask, vents and flashlight 3: Hallucinations and redirection 4: no cameras, just sound SL: five entirely different routines and minigamrs Ps: The pain of capitalism

i really like how nearly every time markiplier is shown it's just him crying.

You know what would be great? If after the jumpscares happen, you enter a stage where directional button prompts appear on the screen for you to struggle free while the animatronic screeches, shakes you and bears it's horrifying mechanical insides at you. With each night, the prompt sequences would become faster with less time between each prompt appearing, and go on for longer overall. That... would be pretty cool and generate some legitimate tension. You could even have it so specific parts of the animatronic lurch out at you that you almost have to dodge with the button prompts, and if you don't, you get a grizzly first person death animation.

Am I the only one who is still obsessed with fnaf It's full of story potential and lore The characters are so amazing (Some) and even if the jumpscare grows, just give it some time and when you come back you will just get as scared as you did before.

LS Mark: "I was a Five Nights at Freddy's fan." Me: "Yeah and so are the people who actually watch this video to the end."

Replacing Markiplier’s face cam with him crying makes me laugh more than I think it should.

I cant believe nobody noticed that little detail of him starting in the office but getting pulled by Freddy to Parts and Services Nice touch instant sub

This series made me desensitized to jump scares, when the first one came out, I couldn’t even look at the thumbnails without being scared, but by now the most I will do jump a little bit for half a second, the nightmare animatronics jump scares are still scary tho

I can't really blame matpat for being so obsessed with Five Nights at Freddy's. I mean, I know barely anything about the lore and I already feel like I know too much. The lore is super confusing. And by the time he realized he was making too many Five Nights at Freddy's videos, he was probably way too deep down the rabbit hole to stop. Edit: I know this is kind of cliche, but I'm very happy that I'm starting to get noticed on the internet. Thanks for the likes :-)

something about the way Scott just said "fuck it, make it as scary as possible" after his original child-friendly games failed is so inspiring.

To be honest this game scared the shit out of me when I was around 8 to 10 years old when it was first released being a generally very easily startled person not to mention seeing a malfunctioning animatronic at a Chuck E. Cheese certainly didn’t help so I can easily see why someone would genuinely be scared or frightened of this series and it does annoy me a little bit but people get made fun of for genuinely being scared of it.

Love how throughout the whole retrospective you get taken by Freddy, dragged through an hallway, put in the backroom and [Redacted] as you calmly explain your view on the fnaf games.

LS Mark: “FNAF is over saturated” Also LS Mark: “I’ll buy any Sonic game” Professionals have standards

Honestly, the voice acting in this series slaps

What happened to Scott absolutely infuriates me. He didn't deserve anything that happened and I feel so sorry for him and his family.

Connection terminated. I’m sorry to interrupt you Elizabeth, if you still even remember that name.

List of Scott doing good: -Made Fnaf World free and gave everyone refunds after everyone didn’t like it -Made Fnaf 6 and UCN free as well -Made all of the games pretty cheap, so that everyone can play it -Donates tons of money to charities and charity live streams -Made an entire game for Matpat, Steph, Mark, and Dawko for a charity live stream -Let Dawko give him an interview after he beat 50/20 mode -(from the interview) he got a fan letter from a kid writing to Foxy, and he sent him tons of Foxy merch back and wrote him a letter back through the perspective of Foxy - talks, listens, and interacts with his fanbase -is now funding and supporting fan-games. He’s helping them get money, merch, and console and mobile ports -Donated $100,000 to Dawkos St Jude livestream -Donated $500,000 to MatPats St Judes stream (Didn’t realize I wrote this much geez)

I don’t think people give Scott Cawthon his due credit. These games were coded, developed, and thought out by ONE guy! Yes he did have his sons and Clickteam to help, but this really is Scott’s series. I feel like people don’t pay attention to the lore either, it’s cool if you like or dislike it, but I feel like it needs more attention, it may be a little convoluted, but it has some of the best horror and sci-if elements I’ve ever seen in storytelling. Five Nights at Freddy’s is great for a reason.

I do appreciate that the place where we actually draw the line is reading

As an expert in FNaF lore, hearing you saying "playing as a different guard" every time, makes my blood to pump very hard.

I just realized fnaf is like the modern day, horror equivalent of kingdom hearts As in every installment, no matter how trivial or throw-away it is, has very important pieces of the lore and if you missed a single game, you won't understand shit in the next.

The fact that this an hour long tells me that it took a month. Also regarding Steve in Smash. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if FNAF got anything from a Mii Costume to a Spirit Event in Smash.

gotta love the one person in the fnaf reviews who writes "Freddy railed me" as their review

9:50 DAM!!! FREDDY GIVING THAT SHLOPPY TOPPY!!!

Scott when they made fun of his game: “this pain only makes me stronger”

Finally, a review that doesn’t just blindly hate on the games and actually gives constructive criticism.

41:56 ah yes, how could anybody forget about the nuking of 86'?

I think one of the most interesting things about this franchise is not the sheer depth and complexity of the lore but just how ambiguous the lore is to begin with, so much is just left to interpretation and as a result every FNaF timeline video I've watched each has their own take on the order and meaning of the timeline's events

My favorite part about this whole thing is how many times he goes back and explains the lore. And the fact that he stutters and pauses to catch his breath more and more each time.

"Laugh along with Markiplier..." *shows Mark crying*

I like how this entire series would’ve ended in 2015 if the 3rd game didn’t have a shit jumpscare

I grew up in school loving this series and with security breach on the horizon, I’m oddly excited to get back into the series Great video! You do great work, keep it up

Im FULLY convinced this isn't at all the lore and story Scott originally wanted to tell but its what it became

I like how every gameplay clip of Markiplier just has him crying for no reason.

Some of the things I love about fnaf is the lore, theories, mystery, backstory, fear, and especially the creepyness that resembles our childhood (chuck e cheese)

I can’t believe you bought a new phone and vr headset just to play fnaf gamrs

I feel like the jumpscares of these games aren't really meant as a "payoff", but more as a punishment. They aren't there to heighten the tension or upping the scary atmosphere, because when they appear it's just the end -- you're dead. You failed. On the contrary, the jumpscares actually release tension. They release you from playing the game, you are no longer against the clock, there are no more animatronics to look for. The jumpscares also almost never appears unexpectedly, you almost always know when you've failed before you actually get the jumpscare; either by the doors and lights not working or the hoarse breathing close to you when you are looking at the cameras, when BB is able to get in your room, or when springtrap is just staring at you from outside your door, telling you that you are almost certainly doomed and a jumpscare awaits the moment you put down your camera. You are always at the mercy of the clock so there may be a part of you that hopes the clock will turn to 6am in time, which is probably the highest possible moment of tension in the games. And then it sucks even more to have that loud noise happen and an animatronic jump at you and startle you. So I don't really think they were ever meant to be scary, necessarily. They are an annoying punishment for failing the game. An incentive to do what you can to win te game so you don't have to experience it at all. Side note, I also thinks it's funny that dying and having a jumpscare releases the tension and boots you back to the main menu, but winning just boots you straight to the next night, not letting you relish in winning for more than like 10 seconds before it wants you to keep going.

I dont know whats worse... That I watched 1 hour of an Irish dude talk about Fnaf... Or that one point in time I watched a MatPat talk about Fnaf for 50 hours

I just love how he just transitions from the office to getting dragged by Freddy

When fnaf first came out, I was six and a year or two later my classmates played it. I did not share their fnaf phase, because I spent absolutely no time on the internet until ten years old and couldn't speak English, since it's not my mother language. But I *do* have a fnaf phase now!

I like the idea that Scott made all these games because he was just plunging further and further into complicated lore, and trying to fix the lore with more games, but more games means more complicated lore, and it goes forever.

I never felt Scott was milking his franchise, it's just the only franchise he worked on and it didn't require multi-years to work on a new title. But he still had his personal values in quality. When FNAF World came out he realized how much of big mistake he made out of it, issued refunds, made the game free, and then proceeded to fix it. Later on he realized Pizzaria simulator for free. He's had many chances to get a movie done that though would be subpar he'd make a ton of money from it but refused and held on to his principles. When a toy company that was bringing in him some profit not only released toys that spoiled his game but was very shoddily made, he took away their licenses. Personally I've felt... What is the best game of the 2010s? Witcher 3? Undertale? GTAV? Personally I feel it's FNAF, maybe the gameplay isn't your thing I get it. But this single person standing up against bigger companies and sticking true to his principles while owning his intellectual property is an inspiration to game developers everywhere. It shows you can still make it big with your franchise without giving up on your principles or worse losing your IP to these big companies. If that's not amazing, then I don't know what is.

I will never forgive Scott for the time he tried to gaslight his fan base into thinking there was actually something in the box we "just didn't find it yet" then when he got called out by people who actually dug into the game sorce code and found nothing, he pretended to commit suicide.

I remember during the FNAF3 buildup, there was a lot of hype surrounding the possibility of it being an open world game. Tons of fakes started circulating, and there was some *potent* disappointment at launch because of those expectations.

Fun Fact!: William Afton's reflection in the end of Sister Location is actually a silhouette of Rick Astley. He rickroll'd us.

"No I'm not going to be a Five Nights at Freddy's fan...not again" Sorry Mark, you don't get a choice. I got sucked back into it, and can't escape. Lol

"People where excited for fnaf in 2015" UNDERTALE: Hold my beer...

Going back to old playthroughs, I noticed that a lot of people thought Chica was a boy. (Which makes it weirder that people jumped on making nsfw of Chica as soon as they learned she was a she) I honestly think part of the reason Toy Chica looks like that is to make her look more traditionally like a girl. And I guess they saw how people responded, so kept using it as a base for other Chicas.

I hate it when people say a game or show or something is cringe when it’s more than likely the FANBASE that’s cringe

the fnaf 6 final cutscene is still the most badass thing ever

Scott overestimating how hard it is to make a point and click game is the funniest shit ever.

the hero we didn't deserve but needed, mark in fnaf merch

2014: fnaf is cool and innovative 2020: fnaf is still cool and is now vr and you can find the animatronics in your house during quarantine from your phone

there was a room in my old house that had the same layout as FNaF 4. At the time, FNaF absolutely terrified me. It didn't help matters that around the time we moved there, FNaF 4 was released. I remember one time i had to sleep in that room. I stayed up all night ready to bolt whenever the animatronics burst through. I was also convinced that the animatronics would go through the vents at night, since they would creak all the time

As much as I hated fnaf world back in the day, I sometimes look back on it with fond memories

I het the impression from Scott that this series is something he legitimately loves doing

You have to admit, the first FNAF was a true marvel of indie games. It is quite incredible

One thing to note: Pretty much everyone has accepted that Michael Afton is in fact the older brother, there's a lot of evidence for it and the MikeBot theory is extremely farfetched. Michael survives after Ennard gets out of him because of remnant.

no matter what you think about fnaf we all need to agree scott is a chad

First Sagan Hawkes and now this guy?! I don't have enough hours in the day for this! Time to grab some snacks and make myself comfortable.

Just remember kids: Scott Cawthon's net worth is over 60 million dollars almost entirely off this one franchise.

"I was a Five Nights A Freddy's kid!" *I still am one*

Wow this video was put together with great editing and care, LS you are amazing and did an awesome job keep up the amazing content my friend!

I was big on this when I was 14. I checked out the subreddit and saw people screaming about the Sanshee poster and whoops guess who's just found a way to pay my student debts

It's odd, usually whenever I talk to people about the lore of this franchise, we all agree that it got way too complicated and despite that being cool in a way it's also tiring. However, you were the one person who actually acknowledged Scott really ended the story in FNaF 6 despite the new content being released, and honestly, it feels really good to see someone give credit to Scott for that ending.

Other animatronics in fnaf 3: * give you a heart atack * Springtrap: I'm ordering macdonald's want something?

13:06 that busted me up. He goes from "ahhh ahh" to "damn girl, I mean Ahhh" in like a second.

Personally, FNAF 4 is the scariest to me not for the game itself, but because I was born with worse than average hearing. Because of that, I tend to rely on every other sense to learn and experience. It’s not that I can’t hear, but it’s far less reliable than the rest of my senses. So for a game to force me to rely on my hearing is utterly terrifying to me.

fnaf is super nostalgic for me. its like a guilty pleasure.

Drinking game: Take a shot every time Mark uses the Markiplier crying footage

I use to really love FNAF. I still appreciate all the great memories I had with it. 2 was the most memorable

You know what's funny there's matpat stressing over lore and then there me thinking Scots mostly just making it up as he goes along

Call of Duty:"OUR GAMES HAVE THE SHORTEST RELEASE PERIOD BETWEEN EACH OTHER " Scott Cawthon:"HOLD MY BEAR"

Whatever your opinion is on the FNaF games, you can’t deny that Scott is a great person. Refunding FNaF world, making FNaF 6 and UCN free, the interview, the Fazbear initiative, etc.

I still remember staying up late around the time fnaf 4 was in development and constantly checking Scott’s website and seeing him post a new teaser and coming to school and showing my classmates “yo check out this new teaser he put out!”

29:28 GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD

the little "ah" when springtrap appeared shows just how effective the jumpscare was in fnaf 3

Disappointed that you didn’t mention how god tier the music in all of these games is (especially FNaF world)

i love watching mark realise that there isnt a headphone jack, even though that whole schmeal happened a few years ago.
