@@SkibiditoiIetyesyes_UTTPshut upppp
I think something everyone has forgotten from an old theory. Scott had said every game is telling the same story. With the mimic now in play it makes total sense.
You are crazy if you think the story didn't change in retrospect
I really appreciate that he is keeping the same animations, and styles that were unique to Mat pat's edits, such as his cut out person occasionally making an appearance.
Traditionally (notably Shakespeare), the Jester/Fool is the comic relief but also the truth-teller - the only one who speaks truth when nobody else dares. I definitely get that vibe from Eclipse.
The clown is also the one that basically ALWAYS dies in order to provide that comedic relief
The Fool/Jester from King Lear for example!
And historically, the jester was the only one who the monarch trusted to tell them what was going on, hence why every royal court had a jester. You needed someone there to basically be able to get information out of potential secessionists during massive political meetings
Seeing Tom go from MatPat’s amateur couch theorist for FNAF to him now writing, voicing and publishing his own official FNAF theory is insane! Kudos to him

@@SkibiditoiIetyesyes_UTTPLearn what this is: ,
In Help Wanted Two, the prize claw machine, Freddy's Cupcake Bonanza, the background of it is literally a poster of Fall Fest. It has many of the main characters singing on stage. I really excepted him to mention that but he didnt?
if henry was the one who made the costumes into animatronics it would also make sense he was the one who did all the electronics in the circus, thus if it all malfunctioned and went up in flames, william afton would be mad at henry, because he did all the electronics and that malfunctioned, so it would lead up to him killing charlie, as revenge for henry ruining the circus
This makes sense
This theory actually works so well. But something else I’d like to add to this is with our original 4 being at the circus. It clicked with me that we see in MULTIPLE games that if you press Freddys nose, it honks, very similar to a clown nose honk. This honk is a gag to make characters goofy, more likable, and funny. So it would make sense that a bear, normally associated with fear, would have this bit. I think you’re completely correct here Tom with these characters being from the circus, and Freddy’s nose is a key detail that we all just thought was for fun.
Get a life
Omg great point!

Theory:
What if the mimic was meant to lure Cassidy (Golden Freddy/ Princess) down instead of Cassie? It could explain why it uses Gregory’s voice, IF Gregory is a robotic CC (and if CC and Cassidy were both in Golden Freddy) than it would make sense to use his voice to lure the princess back.
It’s not a bad theory if cc and Cassidy were more connected because the mimic wouldn’t know that they are dead but I feel that cc and Cassidy aren’t connected enough for the mimic to bring Cassidy because cc is equal to Gregory

Yep...
Nah, I think this just means we REALLY should of caught on something to the circus themeing awhile ago, but for some reason didn't really pay much attention to it or things didn't really click so well until now, maybe cause of writing issues involving this franchise *cough cough* Scott *cough*. That and maybe design issues too, while Balloon Boy did give off a sort of circus vibe while he first appeared, he didn't really gave that much to it otherwise and there was nothing else he offered either to help with developing a circus theory to FNAF. Sister Location was more of a heavy hitter however to circus theory, but once again- I guess there was issues there too on making things less obvious.
Is that the devil number
Even thought MatPat retired, seeing Tom continue his path to fully solve the FNAF lore feels like a true theorist legend and friend.
I really like Tom tbh - I’ve been watching Mat since 2020 but Tom really adjusted to me - bonus British points

Fitting how Tom's first very own FNAF theory video starts from the beginning of the timeline. It's like a new beginning after the long journey we went through with Mat and his theories. Can't wait to see what's next!

Hi I'm gay@@MelonMemies
Another thing that supports the Mimic having been around since the circus days is that, in the books at least, we know that Edwin invented it WHILE working on converting the mascot costumes into animatronics and that Fazbear Entertainment acquired it alongside everything else when he abandoned it.
That means it definitely existed by 1979 when the diner first opened and would have had four years where it was in service at the circus/Fall Fest
Hello
I am so curious where the 'dark circus' from FNAF AR fits into all this - I would love for Tom to look deeper into that and connect it to this theory. Especially because that AR DLC contained Ringleader Foxy and Ballora which are obviously circus themed and makes sense, but also Golden Freddy as the final boss.... Tom's theory is that the mimic saw Afton perform in the handstitched glitch trap suit at the circus, maybe Henry also performed in a Fredbear equivalent and that is that is why Golden Freddy was in the 'dark circus' AR dlc?
One extra element: Bellora.
If the ‘83 fire killed or injured Mrs Afton, that could explain her absence and add another scoop of resentment onto Henry.
The Mimic was likely one of, if not the first, animatronics. It’s ability to fit into other costumes make it an alternative to the spring locks. Instead of an animatronic that doubles as a mascot costume, it’s an animatronic that can wear any mascot costume. But the mimic was so dangerous, that springlock death traps were preferable.
Hopefully you can explain this but what is the reason Afton wants to be immortal? I understand why the franchise of Freddy Faz Bear wants to continue but not why Afton does. Does he want to do more experiments on remnant?
@@nicholasspringall1886 narcicism mostly
He saw both his children and his creations as his legacy. As he lost his children and control of Fazbear Entertainment, he saw his only chance at a legacy was actual immortality.
@@GendoRokabundi Wow, ok. Thanks
@@nicholasspringall1886 he wanted to bring cc back to life so he decided to test it on himself which combined with divorce and alchoholism, drove him insane
But MatPat did propose the theory that Mrs Afton is the current CEO of Fazbear Entertainment, which explains her absence. All of the events of Security Breach were efforts to bring back the family together.
when you think about it Mat was basically always working when you think about how often the channels upload and the fact he was hosting every single one. on top of that having to help was lots of behind the scenes things
i have so much respect for Mat lasting this long

Did you notice that in the movie, in one of Michael’s dreams, Gabriel’s (Freddy’s) face fades away for hardly a frame? My personal theory is that Gabriel died from the saw-Freddy-thingy. See what you come up with with this 😊
I thought all the children's faces faded away at moments?

Was kinda hoping that Marionette would be mentioned since she also fits the circus theme. I mean she has stripes, buttons which both are on many clown costumes. Also white face, pink lips and cheeks along with eye makeup. Seems fairly circus-y to me. I also noticed that there were a few mentions to marionette/puppet related things in some of the mini games.
you know what? That sounds real.
they really do, and not to mention that in pizzeria sim, the security puppet that you can buy has a tentacle thing coming out of their head with a gold ball or bell on it that has a resemblance to a jester hat.
@mehkiyahmaynard3567 there's also the fact that a Jester's hat was initially made as a parody of the King's crown with it's 3 points, and the Jester was also usually the most trusted person in a King's Court, so the Security Puppet having a more jester themed design could represent the fact that Henry (co-creator Fazbear and therefore a "king" of sorts) made a Jester character to protect his daughter specifically (or as some fathers call their daughters, his little princess, if you will)
It might be a bit far fetched, but I think it's a neat theory ^^;
The Marionette doesn’t speak, just like a Mime? Were mimes a thing in old circuses?
@@mattjokes1241 Mimes have been apart of circuses for centuries. Puppet even has the same color palette as a mime.

14:52 Freddy has been mewing
You had me at the assumption that the mimic was made so Afton could perform in two places at once. It would explain so much! Especially why it would mimic Afton in the recent games.
It does explain why it was there.
But this could then create a question - did the Mimic set the fire that burned down the circus. Because if it did, that could explain Afton taking it apart as well, and potentially it witnessing his very first break.
@@fallen_star2319 I think the mimic was actually a victim of the fire. The Carney. The Carney most likely became Lefty later on because we see how Carney and Lefty are in the same stance when looking at them in the gallery of Help Wanted 2. Lefty was created by Henry Emily to capture the Puppet, which required making Lefty somewhat hollow in order to accommodate the puppet and allow it to move, so Henry would have had to remove the endoskeleton in order to do so, which probably would have been very burnt up because of the fire. Carney was able to respond to how well you did during the shooting gallery, so it already had some form of AI back then, so then the question becomes did Henry Emily boost it's AI after removing it to make it become the Mimic, or was the Mimic possibly possessed by Remnant because of the fire and wants revenge on those that left it to burn?
@keithshaughnessy1730 Ooh, OR. The mimic wants to become more human to try and impress its "parents", Henry and William. And as it learns and grows, it becomes more twisted as a result of the Remnant it has absorbed
@fallen_star2319 it could also be a revenge story in the Mimic's eyes. Fallfest is burning and Carney needs help but sees all the humans running away not caring, the only human that seems to try and help the animatronics is one of his creators, William Afton. Then Carney ends up in the basement of a pizzeria being taken apart by his other creator, Henry Emily, with the intention of turning his "body" into a capturing device... in the eyes of the Mimic, the humans don't care about animatronic lives, except for Afton, which is why he wants to be like him and get rid of the humans. The Mimic is basically the T-0001 to Afton's Skynet
The CIRCUS THEORY also explains why the restaurants in the first 2 games were decorated in CIRCUS THEMED…. Interesting..
@@SkibiditoiIetyesyes_UTTPbot reported
They weren't circus themed they were birthday themed
They weren't though- the only things we had to circus themeing was in FNAF 2 literally just Balloon Boy and the carousel- even then- small carousel versions are still found in real life Chuck E. Cheeses and former animatronic pizza restaurants that inspired this franchise.

3:00 IVE ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT THOSE FUNKO POPS ARE ABOUT I KEEP SEEING THEM EVERYWHERE!!! But in all seriousness. This is one of my favourite theories
Actually, considering how that ad for a fall fest is for 1970, it also implies the circus itself was around at least since the 1960s. There's nothing to say it's an ad for the first fall fest either, just the one in "current year" as it were. Most fascinating to think about...

Another notable detail to reinforce the idea Circus Baby’s characters were from Fall Fest, AR’s circus dlc which looks like a place that would be at a fall fest type area like a haunted house has 3 bosses you fight. Ringleader Foxy, Great Escape Golden Freddy, and Ballora. Ballora has no skin and is base SL Ballora, implying that she belongs here and by extension, Circus Baby.
Someone in the comments probably already said this, but doesn't Ennard's mask make a lot more sense now with all this circus themed lore dropping down from everywhere? I mean, a clown mask out of nowhere, of an unknown character was placed right in front of the sister location's protagonist's view in a very special spot, like some kind of memento. Is it just my impression? It may be that that mask hold a very important significance we have yet to see in a Circus Prequel. But hey, it's just a theory.
This said, thanks MatPat for all your hard work till now and thanks Tom for continuing this quite fascinating lore journey of FNAF
Sincerely a random italian viewer
first fnaf theory without hearing mat's voice is kinda quirky but love ur job so far on the theories bro, u carried the torch with great results so far 🔥🔥🗣️🗣️
11:09 - Although I think that the Funtime Foxy theory can be a valid stand-in for the carousel mount, I think Mangle would've been a better option. Mainly because Mangle has the same design - rosy cheeks, white and pink color scheme, the pink snout (if not a bit mangled if you will) and they were confirmed to have been a part of toy animatronics before children tore it up beyond repair. Funtime Foxy may have been an inspiration from Mangle for Afton to keep it within the Funtime Animatronics since the original design blended in with the rest of the Funtime Animatronics.
Just a thought.
Yeah, it would also fit with the fact that he referenced the toy animatronics as being inspired by the circus group
Funtime foxy is also the name of mangle when assembled as well as the circus baby character as shown by fnaf world that’s what he was referring to
@@Flareguy ohhh I didn't know that
Thank you for the clarification :)
I feel like mangle is funtime foxy but just as it says at some point (I don't remember exactly when, it's been a while since I've seen stuff about it) "the kids came in and rearranged it to the point where it was unrecognizable, and nobody bothered to fix it." If what he says about funtime foxy being earlier in the timeline is right, then your right about it being mangle too.
thank you!! I was searching for someone saying that Mangle exist!!
I love how Tom watched MatPat fall directly into madness by hosting the FNAF Theories, and then immediately threw himself down the FNAF pit too.
I think we all knew Tom couldn't stay away from the animal robot games too long.
My personal theory is that the Theorist jacket has some sort of supernatural power, like the Green Goblin's mask.
No matter what creepy entity is pushing Tom back to the Freddyverse, I'm personally glad it's happening!
Viva La Fazbear!

So I heard this theory that Chica was originally a Mediocre Melody, and the Mediocre Melodies and Fredbear’s merged to create Fazbear’s, with Foxy being completely new, as a symbol of their “alliance”. Is this theory basically just disproving that, or is there a way to fill in the blanks?
im so happy views didnt drop. it shows most of game theory's fanbase is actually faithful to the channel
"Fredbear"

Hearing the name Fredbear is so strange. I always forget the feeling of nostalgia and dread that the original games caused me. That makes me remember how i felt while playing them
Futurism
Mini-theory: You talked about the three costumes present in the RUIN DLC, and that the lion was not actually in the game, just in the files. What if, then, that lion costume was elsewhere? You talked about how Edwin in "The Mimic" would take costumes and make them robots. What if the three costumes in RUIN were renavated somehow? Turned into springlock suits? If that were the case, then maybe that missing lion suit isn't missing at all, and it is just in the Sister Location bunker, the one you hid in on Night 4. Circus Baby did say it was from an old location of hers.
This was a great theory btw. I thought it was really solid and I really enjoyed it. Next, we need a theory explaining why Pan Stan isn't in Ultimate Custom Night. I honestly feel like there has to be a reason; why would William Afton not have seen that animatronic? I am not so sure.
That's a nice mini theory
Except the Lion costume is actually there as part of the amalgamation of costumes the Mimic gets scooped in, you just can't find the actual one as a standalone costume in game (though technically the same is true of the other two since you have to clip through things to see them in the locker rooms due to the Mimic chase not allowing you to explore much in there normally.)
also glitchtrap is said to not be a real suit ever in one of the books, though maybe something rather close was the real suit and the mimic's new data mashed with it's old memories of the circus spewed it out
The lion is in the game, but it is specifically worn by the mimic in the scooper ending.
I didn’t realize that the lion costume was actually present in the game. Keep in mind, however, that not all endings are canon.
It makes sense especially if they started their characters and food at a circus carnival because a lot of restaurants start as food stalls at fairs, and once they get really popular they're able to expand and become full restaurants.
dude what a theory. great stuff tom! excited to hear more from you and the crew!!
William and Henry maybe worked at Fall Fest, Henry made the suits and William performed in them, probably multiple characters. So those suits of a Lion, Crow, and Elephant could have been William's characters. Then William came up with the idea of the Mimic and helped Henry make it, which is how he got more knowledge on animatronics so he could build Circus Baby's Pizza World for Elizabeth and the Fazbear Franchise years later, all as a call back to his early days working at a circus to probably earn some extra money.
The big thing I mourn without matpat is the intro, his sheer enthusiasm with “welcome to game theory” I’ll always be missed
The 3rd comment is not by Gregory
@@sungurovstudios57smart joke
We need Tom to start speaking from the diaphragm😈
I miss it too, but i wouldnt want Tom to copy everything. He needs to become his own person on this channel now. But yes, it will be missed.
I'll miss it's just a GAME THEORY!
Tom just doesn't hit it like Mat did.
Just realized that the carousel from FNAF 2 is the same as the one from Help Wanted 2, but smaller since it's only the original four.
I am both sad and glad Mattpatt wasn't here for this one.
On the one hand, I associate his voice so strongly with these.
On the other hand, WHAT AN ENTRANCE TO FNAF VOCALS FOR YOU. Loved this theory!!!!!
I swear Gregory being a robot theory is hunting me everyday

i can't tell if you meant haunting or actually meant hunting but either way i think the sentence still works
@OfficerPolPot there's no world where you aren't everyone's side character
What I like about this theory is that it addresses the issue we've mostly been trying to overlook since Help Wanted 1: the claim that the first eight games (including FNaF world) are canonically in-universe games created by a game developer to make light of some real murders that actually happened. If the Mimic is imitating the William Afton it saw in those games, then it's acting as though those games DID really happen, thus its behavior is modeled after the same villain we theorized about before Help Wanted even though what actually happened didn't quite go down that way. We know that murders DID happen, but the games are established to be not QUITE canon to this new timeline we entered with Help Wanted (hence references to Sister Location's non-canon ending that I saw someone point out makes no sense a while back), but if the Mimic doesn't know that, then suddenly, things fit. This is the best FNaF theory I've seen - from anyone - in a while. Well wrought, sir!
The fact he said "you better grab your popcorn" while I was making popcorn 🤣
You took a risk taking on your first FNAF theory for us, but you nailed it, I think! Great job!
I love the idea of finally exploring the origins of Fazbears entertainment, and it starting as a circus is cool and fits well.

That is a pretty MASSIVE theory. I found it funny detecting the trend when you said that Sun and Moon felt out of place.
That is also a MASSIVE circus with a hefty amount of characters. Why would they need so many? Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, Mangle (but not mangled), Baby, Balloon Boy, Gold Freddy, Gold Bonnie, Sun / Moon, etc. That is 10 characters, and that's not even including minor ones from sister location! Why would they need that many?
Also, did you just adopt one of FuhNaff's theories about the Mimic being delivered without question?
11:21 might I add, In fnaf world, you can find funtime foxy in the funhouse zone, whihc takes place at a circus themed area
You had some big shoes to fill but you fit them perfectly

@@thepotatogod2951 Don’t reply, it’s rage bait.
I've been putting off watching episodes from the new holders of power since Matt passed it on but, I've been holding off for no reason! Within the first minute, I was laughing. You have your out unique style that's fun and exciting and I love it! You are making this channel proud!!!
Of all the ways the mantle(s) has been passed down, the first new generation FNAF theory is the one I’m most excited for. It’s weird clicking on a GT FNAF theory without hearing MP, but it still feels like home.
The thing with Funtime foxy being the oldest makes sense because in the game his voice definitely sounds older than the rest and he is shown as a ringmaster
The thing is- the ringmaster motif I don't think only goes to Funtime Foxy perspectively, but someone else in the comments pointed out how in Security Breach with the staff bots dressing up as the Afton Family, that the one supposedly being William is apparently dressed as in ringmaster attire. That and if you pay attention to Freddy Fazbear and his other versions, including Fredbear, In their designs also hold some ringmaster imagery in with their clothing with the bowtie and tophat as well. So it's more interesting that Funtime Foxy more has a ringmaster voice assigned to him than really shown having that role exactly especially if it's not seen with interacting with others.
Oh yeah also forgot to mention- Foxy also has a dark ringmaster skin/costume belonging to an event named the Dark Circus in FNAF AR. Interesting how the ringmaster subject keeps being brought up, in not only one- but several characters.
I kind of think it means that the Mimic is the Carney's endoskeleton. I mean what other animatronic do we know that existed at Fall Fest that isn't in commission later. Carney's exterior most likely became Lefty's exterior, with the interior being redesigned to capture the puppet, so what happened to the original interior?
to add on that, what if the Mimic (Carney) was created because Henry left? There's gotta be a bear to a rabbit, innit?
Also Carney very clearly has observation skills and ability to come up with funny lines to those observations, which is also very curious and we havent saw anything like this anywhere yet
Hol up, let him cook
@wasntdeleted the Carney even reacts to being on fire. I recall other animatronics trying to escape fire but I don't recall any of them acting as if they feel it. So either the Carney had advanced enough AI to respond to that, his programming had enough foresight to include an "On fire" routine, or he was actually a human in a suit during the real event, died, and became a remnant ghost. Unfortunately with this franchise all of those options are possible. Lol
@@keithshaughnessy1730 a human probably would've took off the suit in a panic and springlocked themselves rather than burn to death. It's most definitely a robot
I love how Tom's first FNAF is the 69 FNAF theory on the channel, Glorious.
Speaking of funny numbers ( Lord forgive me...) Yesterday, I was eating some dino nuggies, fries and shrimp when one fried shrimp was right by another and I turned another upside down when it looked just like a 6 and a 9, I basically made a shrimp 69! SHRIMP 69! ( Oh my gosh, I don't like this joke, why am I laughing bout this? )
And posted on 4/20. The numbers keep adding up
I'm sorry it's been How many fnaf theories
@@devonmmi I Know, Me Too.😭
Honestly I though it be more though.🤔
This video was so amazing and honestly just reminded me of why I love Game Theory. You guys are amazing for putting this all together.
Is Scott like the Benjamin Button of plotting? Nothing made before writing, but he connects it all retroactively? Like, there's no way he planned for a circus beginning when he made balloon boy in fnaf2, right?
Something that MatPat pointed out once, but I think needs to be pointed out more, is if you look at these games/franchise in a macro view, they aren't set in our reality. I know that's like a "no duh" statement, but it's more like these game take place in a world/reality where technology is more advanced earlier then in real life. So something like the Mimic being around in the late 70s/early 80s makes sense in the context of the FNAF Universe, even though it wouldn't irl.
Yep, like i see some theorists go like "This is too early" But remember that how long and how far William and Henry research in robotics truly went, like Henry got a face recognition in the 80 was a big sign that we often overlooked but this kinda proved that FNAF technological advancement is more advanced than we thought
@@darkerrex1442Henry didn't make the Toys and wasn't even part of the company during FNaF 2 as Phone Guy says that they were trying to contact the original owner of Fredbear's in the Night 6 Phone Call but would be unlikely to do so.
@@whocaresaboutthename6850 Interesting, though that beg the question Who actually designed the toy, i thought the Toys were an animatronic made by both Henry and William then repurposed with Face recognition after the whole Fiasco with William
“Balloon boy first appeared in fnaf 2 and was just there and we’ve hated him ever since” truer words have never been spoken 👏👏
This might just be the best fnaf theory I've watched in years! You've convinced me that you are a very worthy successor.
Well done, Tom!
First fnaf theory without matpat low key hit me in the feels more than I thought it would
“William’s decent into madness”
Forgot the part where it was Matpat’s too
Sun's face is also the literal sun in the balloon boy mini game. It just makes since that Eclipse is one of the circus gang. Why else would Moon be highlighted so much in the most recent game? They're realllly trying to make the circus thing obvious
I know Scott is giddy right now cause he gets to put another theorists through madness 😭😭
10:15 pumpkins are also associated with Fall in general and Thanksgiving moreso than Halloween. Many of my relatives don't even celebrate Halloween but do decorate for Fall using pumpkins.
I think this makes sense because in the sister location minigame where we see Elizabeth, theyre outside. Theres a ton of kids outside during a circus or fair. It would sense to have circus baby passing out cupcakes at a circus.
I have a question about Circus Baby. In Sister Location, Elizabeth asks William “Didn’t you make her just for me?” implying that Afton made Circus Baby using Elizabeth as a inspiration. So how could they have been at Fall Fest when they were inspired by Elizabeth?
You can be inspired by multiple things.
Also, that would make it William calling Elizabeth a clown. The hair style is probably from Elizabeth, the clown aspect is from the circus.
He made Baby just FOR her. That doesn't mean he made it BASED on her.
She asked but did William confirm? Could just be a kid finding connections
@@Anime_Oni That would make sense
The characters and the animatronics are both the same. It’s like making an Alice in Wonderland doll that looks like your daughter. Alice already exists but the doll is for her
I think Fallfest may have something to do with "Mrs. Afton"
What we know about her?
She doesn't exist (atleast we don't know anything about her, just with the fact that someone needed to give birth to CC, Elizabeth and Michael 💀)
But we also know that William was inspirated by her when he made Ballora.
And that's my whole point.
Ballora is ballerina. Ballerina's aren't exactly part of circus, but Ballora IS part of Circus Baby's pizza world.
IF Ballora is inspirated by his wife, there's a big chance that Mrs. Afton could have been a dancer. Ballerina.
And, where could be dancers in Fnaf universe used as?
FALLFEST.
THE CIRCUS.
(Also in Security Breach where we can find the staff bots representing Aftons there's a bot that looks like ballora)
I think Mrs. Afton was propably part of Fallfest, and when it burned down, she was there, too. THAT could be the start of everything. THAT could be the tragedy which started William's slow downfall and also the reason why we never heard about her anywhere.
I got so hooked on this theory video, that I was wished it lasted an hour! 🤩😂 It’s amazing to see that there was a whole chunk of the timeline before the games as a (carnival?) and to see all the loose ends get tied into the timeline!
