the reason they were closing off that one room was because it led to the rooms with the pits, and they didn't want to risk whatever that entity was from getting up there through the hole and attacking personnel.
Yeah that section lead to the room with pits where the entity was found, if you checked the previous video.
So they're doing their best to actually somewhat ' contain ' the entity. Though the backrooms may be infinite ( so far ), the Bacteria seems to be sticking around hot spots- hot spots meaning entry points, from the Entry point that's now been sealed off behind a window for safety, to the random points around the backrooms where people have no-clipped into reality..
Or even getting into, you know, the real world
They sealed the entire thing
I’m just say8ng they could’ve closed off the pits/holes in it instead and still had access to that new grassy area
So, the video about the car falling into the backrooms seems to me to be much more important than just the whole, "Woah, that's really freaky!" bit. Considering that we have seen buildings and in fact, even a section of a small town indicates to me that maybe these structures aren't being 'built' by the backrooms at all but in fact are ACTUAL towns and buildings themselves that have fallen into the rooms. So that weird town that one researcher found may have once been an ACTUAL town somewhere that fell into the backrooms but then slowly mutated into whatever it is currently. Also, considering the inside of the house in the town lead into another section of the backrooms indicates that it doesn't seem to follow the rules of Euclidian geometry, which would actually make navigating and mapping it incredibly difficult, if not impossible.
Maybe that farmhouse that we saw in the earlier videos never used to be a mural at all. It may have been an actual farmhouse from decades ago that has been in the backrooms so long that it's merged with it. If that's the case, that means the backrooms has existed for a LOT longer than it would appear by it's relatively modern look. Especially considering the log cabin that seems to have been 'extracted' from the Backrooms for study.
If real world objects are falling into the backrooms and do actually merge with it based on how the object has been there, it could indicate that the Backrooms itself is in fact an organism of some sorts. Like the entire place is one fungal colony that slowly absorbs anything that falls into it, and the 'bacteria' may be similar to antibodies the entity uses to protect itself from intrusion.
Finally, a theory in the comments that is actually cohesive. It all makes sense imo
Kane said that the log cabin has nothing to do with the backrooms on his discord
Made me think of Croatoan.
@@hvhgdfgyffghhgd4663 By that he might have meant that it wasn't created by or originally in the backrooms?
@@Hello-nf2dg it means that it’s a separate project from the backrooms (it is not related at ALL to the backrooms)
35:46 just so you know, all that is a barricaded window for precaution incase said creature flings itself at them, and yes they were sealing it off, but not because of he died or they lost funding, its due to the fact that an unknown entity has been spotted in that sector and do not want to risk a life being lost.
Weren't they already in the middle of building that secure entrance at the beginning of "pitfalls" though?
I remember that room was under construction for the past few episodes before that too
@@Imperial_Cosmonaut yes but it wasn’t as secure
I've always seen the fear of the backrooms not being the " entities" but fear, isolation and helplessness it represents. Being pulled into this place of loneliness with no escape no matter how desperately you try. Everything looking the same but just different enough to be disorienting. Time and self loses meaning. I can see how this mirrors some concepts of the depression and loss of self in the yellow wallpaper in addition to the obvious physical description.
You were trying to be all poetic and philosophical and here I am over here going sleeping bag water bottle phone and charger outlets every once in a while that work and a bathroom every once in awhile that works sink toilet I could live in the back rooms no problem.
But then again I also never go out of my house don't see or talk to people and also live with depression so there's that
“There is going to be a collab between the backrooms and women.”

this line made me laugh too much.
This line almost killed matPat and me to. That and the Ash no clipping are my favourite parts of this episode lol

@@jerremeejones900 ??
That sounds oddly threatening TO women
I'm so glad that someone in that video's comments mentioned the ISBN, because as an employee in a bookstore, it was the very first thing I thought of when I saw that the number started in 978.
Same! I’m a librarian and thought the series of numbers seemed really familiar
Hey, I'm the guy who made the comment, funnily enough! I'm not an actual librarian, but I'm really into stuff like codes and ciphers and also things like puzzles. I tried a few different ciphers on the title and none seemed to work so I just decided to google codes that use 13 digit numbers and the ISBN Book Code was one of them. After I found out about the book, I gave it a read, and really liked it! I'm happy Matt read my comment, I wasn't expecting it at ALL...
Same! i saw those first three numbers and I immediately thought of an ISBN!
I found it half awesome and half amusing with Matt read that comment and then reading these comments only for the fact that me and my mom were just talking about it's the other day.
We were on a topic of how many kids nowadays could you use a card catalog and all the things like that if they didn't have the internet like they do now.
I got so happy and excited reading that comment in these comments that I had to go share this with my mom and watch her laugh in her face light up because she used to be a librarian assistant and this was one of her many jobs
40:27 is the best part
THANK YOU 😊 🙏
I have a theory that Async has realized that they have connected their their reality to a horrific uncontrollable and dangerous reality and it’s better to close it off and end research rather than try to explore and claim it. But the issue is that people of our reality are still clipping into the backrooms. So I think maybe the next upload will be years later when Async opens the project back up to figure out how to disconnect their reality from the backrooms reality
We read "The Yellow Wallpaper" this year in my humanities class!! The connections I could see are these:
- a woman is trapped in a room of this horrid yellow wallpaper that drives her crazy (people being stuck in the backrooms)
- she starts to see a shadowy figure moving "behind" the wallpaper (could be the bacteria?)
- she eventually sort of believes that she was the shadowy figure, and says she got out of the wallpaper (maybe humans get turned into those bacteria things? maybe the backrooms fungus thing is trying to escape or create a world like ours to be "free"
i’ve never heard of someone say it was bacteria, that’s an interesting take
@@alkagoodwin6455 wait I was wrong. Not sure if people in ye olden days really knew about bacteria even though it was already known to scientists.
I found out about the book after I made the comment in the video in Report (which I was not expecting Mat to read lol) and decided to read it. Never thought about that connection though, that's interesting!
Great connection. One thing to maybe note or clarify in “The yellow wallpaper.” It’s actually about the abuse women had to go through during postpartum depression back then. She was locked away in hopes of curing her from the depression. Natural that didn’t work and her mental health suffered a great deal.
I wonder since you found all these great connections if maybe there is an underline meaning to the bacteria such as disease in our real world.
@@shiekgirl5 this is a cool theory. that "bacteria" is the AI's interpretation of sickness/illness/mental illness in the real-world. it is unable to understand biological, or mental illness, but it understands that its bad, and it understands the idea of monsters. so it has conflated those two things together as both "bad" so it created "the bacteria monster"
Its just terrifying to think about the fact that you can noclip while simply driving your car normally in Backrooms Lore
Imagine if you will, your done with your 12hr shift just trying to get home then you just fall into the floor and hit a wall in the backrooms
At least you'll teleport in with plenty of supplies...and a car
Noclipping with a car is probably the best time to noclip
@@reallycantthinkofausername487 unless your going full speed.
@@ThePcHeadedGuy yea you should hit the brakes when you drop in
you can tell when rewatching pitfalls that the section they blocked off is the same path that hazmat team walked through when getting to the pitfalls
and im pretty sure the scene of the door opening on the 4 hazmat people is them returning from the pitfalls mission alive
I love how Mirror Matt is just mundane towards anything Mat does and Ash is just super supportive. Truly a figment of imagination of a figment of imagination
The fact that the lavalamp is still inert at the end of the video makes me stupidly happy. I've never had one, so I don't know how long they take to warm up, but the fact that it's still just chilling is weirdly funny to me.
I have one, someone gifted me when I was a teen and it was funny to find out that the lava really takes its tame to flow, but it's worthy
It also varies based on room temperature and how old the lamp is. I (unironically) have 4 lava lamps myself, and it fascinates me how different the time it takes can be, xD
Yellow Wallpaper always stuck with me through my life, despite only reading it once, because of the later descriptions of how the wallpaper seems to start to move and have life behind it. If you've stared at old, really ornate wallpaper before, that's exactly what happens. Makes me wonder if Kane is making a parallel between the bacteria monster and the woman inside the wallpaper, being either fictional/some kind of hallucination, or even something of our own creation/born from something us humans did by accessing the backrooms....
It's possible. The bacteria in the backrooms video supposedly is the type found in human and animal stomaches. Maybe it was by us no-clipping into the backrooms, that the first of the bacteria began to appear and grow.
@@neolithiumproduction What if the bacteria was an inhabitant of the Backrooms which had a strange reaction to illnesses that humans may have been immune to. There have been cases in history of similar things happening when two groups of people from different land-masses being infected with each other's diseases and getting severely Ill, imagine that but with different realms.
@@neolithiumproduction incidentally, I'm only seeing vague images of it, but doesn't the thing called 'the bacteria' actually look more like a bacteriophage?
@@Nowolf Yeah. When I first saw the picture of the creature in film theory, I immediately assumed bacteriophage. But I couldn't be sure as I'm not too aware of the shape of microorganisms.
So glad he's reading The Yellow Wallpaper, it's such a good story. It even inspired me to create my first theory, which was that a specific species of mushroom (common in old Victorian homes that had been abandoned) was causing her insanity and mental breakdown.
Ash's chaotic energy is exactly what the stream needs
This represents a turn in Async's research. Before their exploration of the Backrooms was casual because they believed it was simply just empty space. Now they know there is something in there and it is possibly hostile since it immediately started chasing the camera man upon seeing him.
Their little safe room now has armored windows and locked doors requiring a keycard (like we saw in that one video). I wouldn't be surprised if Async Hazmat Teams will be armed in the future.
Yea, and some people may think that they did see it in found footage, but that was Kane who saw it, not Async. I do hope that they show more levels in the future.
My thoughts also
@@rominigames6870 Also, Kane being in the Backrooms happened years after this.
Yeah that makes sense. Because of what happened to one of their crew members; after being attacked, it would make sense to close THAT section off until further notice because they don't really want that "bacteria" monster getting out at all.
Hey you're a prophet according to the latest upload.
The Yellow Wallpaper is a genuinely unsettling classic. I'm not sure how it ties into the Backrooms though, other than the colour yellow and the feeling of being trapped. (The Magnus Archives uses the same story as inspiration for themes of gaslighting and madness, replacing the wallpaper with yellow doors.) I'm really interested in hearing a Theorist take on this!
It also ties into how post-natal depression in women was not seen as a real, serious condition back then.
Can you tell me what happens in The Yellow Wallpaper? If you don’t mind of course. I would read it on my own to understand better but since it deals with in depth mental health deterioration it’s just not something I should read.
Is “The Distorsion” based on the yellow wallpaper? I might have to read it then since Micheal was my favorite character in the series
@@shrinebow. its about a woman being treated for post partum depression (which is a type of depression that develops after childbirth, post partum depression can also develop into post partum psychosis if left untreated/it gets worse) in the late 19th century. the "cure" for post partum depression at the time for women was being isolated in a room with zero mental stimulation, the protagonist's husband takes her on a vacation with their child and servant for a few months to "cure" her. she ends up isolated in a room with peeling yellow wallpaper and a bed nailed to the floor, with the windows also having iron bars on them. she writes little diary entries (which is how we as the audience read the story) in a notebook she hides from her husband and servant. slowly, she starts seeing a woman trapped in the patterning of the wallpaper, the woman "staying still" at night and trying to "get out" of the wallpaper in the day. on the last day of the protagonists' stay at the rented house, she locks the door to the room and starts referring to herself as the woman trapped in the wallpaper, her husband faints at the sight of her and she crawls over him, viewing herself as escaping the wallpaper.
this story is about how women in the late 19th century were treated, and is based off the author's own experience regarding being treated for mental illness after she gives birth. its a really good read and i reccomend u to give it a look if you can :)
@@ruoye5014 thank you so much for the detailed explanation! Hope you have a nice day
I love that the idea of "no-clipping" into another reality or dimension was first sparked in my early memory with the Twilight Zone episode "Little Girl Lost" and this Backrooms idea as a whole just scratches that nostalgic spooky itch so good.
Hey Matpat! There's a great analog horror series that just ended called the Monument Mythos that you should really check out! It's full of theory crafting potential and is really easy to get invested in.
I'm loving how they went from the regular "witty banter", as well as the wrap-ups, how progressed in names. Even the names/titles for the actual game/video segments have grown to be funnier.
Edit: also, I LOVED reading "The Yellow Wallpaper" in my English class, it really had me invested, so I really perked up when I heard that familiar name come up in the video!
Arguably one of the best parts of the stream XD
i also read the yellow wallpaper in one of my college classes. i loved it but after reading it 50 times for an deep analysis 10 page paper for it, i dont think i wanna see it again lol
Ive just read the yellow wallpaper! Absolutely wonderful. I hated the narrator husband with a passion of a burning star, but the meaning behind everything was really wonderful :)
The backrooms is such an interesting an creepy concept, I’m so happy you’re covering it!
Let's just hope no one copyright claim it
😅
@@isamuddin1 yea that would be bad
@@isamuddin1 i don't think kain would copyright claim it + nobody owns the rights to the backrooms name and level 0.
@@isamuddin1 Backrooms is public domain and logically should remain so. However SCP Foundation went through an entire legal battle over some random dude claiming it was theirs so you never know.
@@mr_indie_fan you can say same thing on Scp foundation...I think if it's arguable, we gonna see this in court. Let's Hope a person with "daddy" issues never come across this...
I remember I had to read the yellow wallpaper, but yeah she gets treated like a baby by her husband because she had just been given birth and was going crazy, she was kicked in a room with said wallpaper and and at night saw a shadow outside the window on the blinds and thought it was a person saying help, through out each night she’d tear away the wallpaper to try and rescue the shadow (basically the person/shadow was her being locked up and the room was the husband keeping her locked up and her tearing the wallpaper was her saying that she is now in control on her life and that she is free)
A pretty interesting book none the less @GTLive
Personal theory:
I think the backrooms is the minotaurs labyrinth from Greek mythology. Just because it fits so perfectly with the native story. I think the backrooms are leaking into reality due to how in Greek mythology the labyrinth was a huge super structure of endless hall ways and corners with seemingly no exit thus no entrance which is why you will need to open the door to the labyrinth but I assume if the door is open for to long the door expands and makes gaps in reality that objects can no-clip through. The bacteria is the minotaur due to how if people back in those days could see the bacteria they will make a guess of what they are looking at which is a man with a bulls head. And lastly to fit with mats theory, what if the creator of the labyrinth didn't build it but rather program it?
Let me know what u think about this.
If mat sees this I so Wana see your opinion about this.
You bring this up and its fasnciating because things like this is real in the sense of ancient cultures used real things to make their myths like they would find a dinosaur bone and think it was some godly monster.
Idk your comment made me think of that
There is a level of the backrooms that is a labyrinth with a minotaur. Has a central area that is safe and was where you could noclip in from Greece. Don't ask me which number it is, I just remember that it's below level 100.
YES EXACTLY
Just wanted to say, Marv is probably alive considering that 4 people entered during pit falls and 4 people exited during report, there were 5 suits but only 4 were used. You could say this is a different group or something but date in pit falls=same=highly likely its them. Also they had a designated camera man pointing to the fact that they probably dont just have live feed, if they had live feed anyone could be carrying the camera rather than a person designated purely for the purpose of filming. Also regarding the end, they seem to be reinforcing their security because of the recent encounter installing blast doors to the windows and sealing off the path that presumably leads to the pit falls area
The individual on the left is also holding their arm in a strange way, as though they were hurt. Marvin specifically says he hurt his shoulder right after he falls.
Its also almost certainly the pitfalls area, as A. This video is a report specifically in response to the pitfalls video, and B. You see marv and crew walk through the dark open room, and then the hallway that you see just before it, and then into the "room" with the split paths shown even just before that in the pitfalls video before finding the pitfalls.
Matpat's guide to turning a six minute video into a 50 minute react video (still better than a lot of reaction channels lol)
Step One: Find cool, thought-provoking video
Step Two: Talk about extraneous but equally thought-provoking stuff
Step Three: Actually watch the video but pause and ponder a LOT about said video
Step Four: Witty Wrap Up
A lot of reaction channels just react to the video, but Mat actually talks about it, even if it takes him almost an hour to get through a single video
@@raptorlite6060 true, most of them are silent and then laugh/say "ooooooohhh" and then become silent again. That's why channels that do like "Musicians react", "Lawyer reacts", "doctor reacts", etc. are so interesting
Bonus, throw in a 15 minute witty banter.
my theory is that the backrooms is learning from people, like a chair noclipped and the backrooms updates, s when our main character was saying "hello? can anyone hear me?" the bacteria was possibly hearing this and repeating it, the words the bacteria said in pitfalls could of been the same words our main character said on the first video, (found footage)
In the timeline, Found Footage happened in 1996, after Pitfalls which was 1990, so it wouldn’t be Kane that the bacteria is mimicking, but someone else
@@inksplash8775 unless time works differently. It is Sci-Fi
Mat, Mirror Mat, Ash and any other future imaginary friends Mat comes up with, never stop making these types of videos, they NEVER get old.
I read "The Yellow Wallpaper" for one of my courses in college! (Also it's more of a short story than a book, so it's not a super long read.) Commenter is right that the female protagonist slowly grows obsessed with the yellow wallpaper in the room that she spends of her time in, but it has less to do with yellow wallpaper perse and more to do with the fact that as a woman in the 19th century, you didn't really receive proper mental health care. The author, Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote a commentary on "The Yellow Wallpaper" aptly titled "Why I Wrote the Yellow Wallpaper." Both are a great read, very memorable and fascinating.
Also, ISBN's don't just relate to a specific story, they relate to a specific edition of a story. So it might be worthwhile looking into the specific edition of the book and reading the introduction to "The Yellow Wallpaper", the specific annotations and notes that accompany the edition. At the very least, since Kane used that specific ISBN, it might be the copy that he read, so it could give us a better understand of what he took away from the story. Or maybe he just used the first ISBN he found for "The Yellow Wallpaper".
I love the idea of real life noclipping
In a game you're just like 'oops oh well whatever' but If this would happen in real life it would be extremely unsettling
I mean even in a game.
Imagine you're playing whatever normal game you enjoy (elden ring, gta, mario odyssey whatever) and suddenly your character just clips into an endless field of weird corridors.
Clipping out of bounds is no big deal, clipping out of bounds *and then into* a seemingly complete level, no matter how erratic or procedural looking, would be at least be rather eerie.

MatPat!!!! The new Mandela Catalogue vol. 333 was released a couple weeks ago. Since you've done a couple theories and reactions on it, I'd assume you're invested enough into the lore to want to continue unraveling it's mysteries
I also wonder if he's seen Alex's reaction to his mandela gtlive episode cause he gives off a bunch of lore hints in that
Lit waiting for the mandela stuff to come out on gtlive. Its been weeeekkss
I think MatPat would react to them as soon as they get back from UK. I don’t know when the Patricks come back tho
No joke I've been checking here waiting for his reaction everyday 😭
You guys probably won’t see this but I just wanted to say thank you for being there for me. I haven’t subbed for long but last year after I got hit by a car riding my bike, I discovered you guys in my 4 month hospital stay. I was in a coma for a month, I almost died, and broke most of my bones and had to relearn everything from holding my head up to eating and gaming and walking. In that stay, you guys kept me distracted and happy and even a year later on nights where I feel like it would be better if I wasn’t here, your videos help talk me down off the edge. I just wanted to say thank you for everything. You guys don’t understand how much your videos mean to everyone. I’m supposed to be paralyzed, blind, deaf, and brain dead at best, but here I am, watching you guys and recovering. Thank you.
Glad you made it!
You got hit by a car that was riding your bike?! It stole your bike and then attacked! I’m just kidding ❤️ really glad you’re okay and still chugging along 🥰
Glad you are still here with us!
Wishing u the best recovery and I’m glad you were able to push through it despite everything.
This is a miracle, glad you found GTLive during your healing.
I really liked reading The Yellow Wallpaper and was wondering if they would elude to it in the back rooms. Great content, can’t wait to watch the next episode to see the reactions to it.
The most replayed feature was in beta about 2 or 3 months back, as I get the beta features. It was really cool and I liked it a lot, so was happy to see it come back with an official release! Nothing to do with the backrooms but I just thought that'd be of interest to you.
Also I'm just back from reading The Yellow Wallpaper. Great recommendation, very interesting piece of writing!
28:23 That's actually a Fire Marshal's console. They're used so that fire fighters can access a building's Public Address (PA) speakers to broadcast warnings/information/directions to the people inside, as well as direct phone/radio connection to fire and police HQ's and other authorities.
Oh my fucking God is that what PA stands for?
I feel that the stress over the analytics being public is a bit misguided. As a viewer i don't think of it as :more exciting vs boring" but instead as a tool to navigate videos. For the Theory channels i don't think it really effects you guys directly, but for things like Tutorials or Podcasts its helpful to use as a "when do they show the part I actually need to watch/when in this 2 hour video is the clip everyone is talking about"
Exactly! I was siting there with a O.O expression hearing him saying how horrible this new addition is, whe I really couldn't care less it exists lol
(Until I open that dreadful tutorial that's an hour long for some reason)
It helps as well when I go back to old videos trying to find one specific joke or scene, often times it's the most popular joke in the scene so others have jumped right to it.
Also Matt fails to realise that just like most features youtube adds, that they have been thoroughly tested on p-hub before youtube decides to copy them, if you didn't know it's kinda blatant. a few big examples are :
-the preview when mousing over thumbnails
-the chapters
-and now the viewer attention bar
hard agree, i think anyone not interested in the technical/creation aspect of youtube will be like “oh thats interesting!” and pretty quickly move on
Not even just that, I mean, Matt was talking about how people edit their videos so tight, and all I could think was, "what videos are you watching? So much of what I watch on youtube now is so bloated and full of padding." If I had a dollar for every 15 minute video that went on a 5 minute tangent completely unrelated to the subject of the video I'd be rich.
I'm so excited for the Theory Corp merch, I had to grab some when it dropped-it seems like the perfect combo of conspiracy+mysterious corporations+Theory stuff!
And I'm delighted to see discussion and picking through more of the Kane Pixels Backrooms universe
I absofruitly love when Ash the Stealth Master chooses chaos! I'm 100% here for it! Also I think I'm going to read The Yellow Wallpaper, it seems like it'll be interesting!
I legitimately believe the people are trying to give insight into the world inside of the backrooms with " The yellow wallpaper." I believe they are trying to draw connections with the insanity people can face by being stuck in a place where they only get to look at the yellow walls in the backrooms. The space inside of the backrooms can make anyone go mad by being trapped in such a place they don't belong in. That they can't avoid. They scream and complain to deaf ears, and eventually it envelops their whole being. I am so happy at the parallels I was able to make between these to stories.
This makes quite a lot of sense. A plausible theory indeed.
If a movie DOES happen, I REALLY hope they don't stuff a bunch of tropes into it and keep the concept of isolation and intrigue at the forefront.
No romance stories, no group of people, no power fantasies, no political or social commentary, legit just a man or woman whose trying to survive in an unknowable environment who is slowly pick up clues through out the movie until something beyond his control destroys.... Or he starts setting up a base for the sequel.
No political or social commentaries...
i.e. woke garbage
I agree

@@coledibiase5971 that in itself is a political statement. Completely separating politics from media is not impossible but you're really missing out on a lot. Politics in a story isn't necessarily "bad" or "woke", it simply is and it will always be
I'd appreciate a "The Martian" take on things, where we see a collective actively trying to contact/save the individual. Now keeping to theme it would of course be ultimately pointless, and if they DID contact the lost protagonist it would provide only a sliver of hope to keep them moving through the hellscape to their inevitable demise (or they could actively advise the protagonist to take a course of action that unknowingly LEADS to their demise, the question of whether or not they take the outside advice being the question/conflict that leads to the events of the climax).
I love how Mat is trying to climb the camera every time a piece of lore is too pixelated to read from the couch.
I think it's really cool you can see retention and replays on other people's videos. It allows you to see what works on a bigger scale if you're a smaller channel.

matpat isnt only good at theorizing and good-worded, he’s also got the patience to make such long videos to explain something to us. im amazed.
Ash is the kind of chaos we need in our lives... And on GT Live too ❤️ love you Clippy Ash, mistress of clipping through rooms and couches, and grammar suggests!
What a coincidence that in this video that discusses a video that references "The Yellow Wallpaper" (a story about a woman that eventually crawls around a room with yellow wallpaper on all fours), that Ashe had spent time earlier in the video, crawling behind the couch in front of what looks like a wall with yellow wallpaper.
Truly Ashe is a fantastic producer for this episode, you wouldn't see this level of meta commitment and foreshadowing from the likes of Mirror Mat!
(all in good fun, MirrorMat is great, and I don't know if either of their roles are actually producers)
Ash and mirror Matt are so good at there jobs. For a short time after criss and Jayson matpat and Steph were on there own and let's just say there performance showed how hard Matt and ash work to make it perfect.
@Charlotte R I feel like they add their own thing, too, since it was a running joke that Chris and Jason, Chris especially, prepared for the show like a hungover college student trying to cram for a test 15 minutes before class.
I noticed those wavy bits you guys were discussing that were on videos the last while. I never paid them much mind and thought they were purely for audio reasons: like the bigger the wave or whatever is when the video's volume increases or something. Fascinating.
Also, I actually find yellow a calming color, red just makes me feel wild yet fancy at the same time lol
YAHHHH hey Mat!
So glad there's more backrooms!
This is exactly what I needed to end my perfect day
True !
True !
Let me guess end of school?
@@hop_pop2364 True !
Matpat should make an episode where he reviews The New Mandela Catalogue Video.
I've been waiting for a New Theory for weeks
New video out! This one goes even deeper with lore but just forces more questions!!! Keep tye series going! (I wish Kane put subtitles in his videos... there's quite a bit of script that is not decipherable without subtitles, but there are some single frame blips I couldn't make out that your practiced hand might grab.
I feel like due to the amount of pages that book has, there would be a small possibility I'd be able to finish it.
Ash is a treasure, we have been missing out on the best Theorist for to long
I’m your 69th like
I love Ash, but missing the three way banter and chaos with Mirror Matt.
Did I miss something somewhere that Mirror Matt has moved on to other things? Or are they just away for a temporary time?
@@carrotboy4610 👀
@@devium i think he's got family stuff for a trip or something
@@devium Whether Ash or M. Matt is behind the camera has been always varied a lot. My guess is just that they aren’t both always available for GTLive recordings since they’re doing work with other parts of the team or are doing personal stuff
Please react to Mandela catalogues volume 333 next I love watching your reactions to these vids
This is just the 'control room' that has been showed being built in previous episodes.
Its the same room that the time traveling hazmat guy gets back into, and triggers an alarm.
They're not really "sealing" off the backrooms, just reinforcing the entrance and making a secure FOB (forward operating base) at the entrance
I know this video is a few days old, but it feels to me like the "Most Replayed" feature is more of a "this is where audiences clicked to in the timeline." I've found that a good portion of "Most Replayed" bits are where ad segments end.
I wish Mat analyzed the monument Mythos, I think it could be a very interesting series to see him react to
That would be amazing
I really hope he sees this.
Maybe he will one day
I love the idea that Ash runs around like a gmod character and noclips around the building
Now I’m trying to picture that
The Backrooms: Exist
England: *Time to colonize*
The fact that you can now pull out parts of the backrooms (as shown by the extraction image), and that A-Sync is going out of business, they might in desperation decide to pull *out* the bacteria. Just an idea.
The inclusion of "the yellow wall paper" reminds me of "house of leaves" being an influence on CZcams slenderverse creations like Everyman Hybrid, Marble hornets, and TribeTwelve
I highly recommend checking out all three of those and even though they are old news by now i would absolutely watch a theory on them
Omg I absolutely love House of Leaves! But I’ve never heard of these CZcams connections to the book before
Oh absolutely. House of Leaves is such a fascinating, horrifying, visceral, trippy experience on its own, and that so many references have been made to it in other series is awesome.
“The Yellow Wallpaper” definitely seems to fit the Backrooms, not just as a surface-level reference, but also as a deeper, thematic level.
I found it very odd how we never actually saw the lava lamp move throughout the video 😂
Lava lamps typically take quite a while to get warmed up and moving, but yeah it’s very funny that they struggled with that😂
As a memer when the team got revealed behind that mechanic door I imagine the sound of *AMOGUS*
Aaaaah I just love the conversations between Ash and Matt. Feels like I’m hanging out with friends.
This is so cool! Hope mat reacts to the new Mandela catalogue episode next (:
I would love to see mat do a deep dive into the backrooms wiki and see how different this series is to it
Can confirm. I had no idea the new CZcams feature was showing how often that part had been replayed. I genuinely thought it was showing me how loud the audio was at that part of the video
Seeing the white board reminded me for a second of old gt live days with the chalk board with whatever game you guys were playing or making a video about
Theres another youtube channel called "A-sync Research" that I feel like it goes hand and hand with Kanes Backroom uploads. Actually I think the guy that does the A-sync Research channel says its inspired by Kane. I feel like it could really be worth looking into and reacting to, it could expand on some more Backroom stuff.
Yes I was literally about to comment about this myself but I scrolled through and seen yours LOL but I agree MattPatt should definitely watch A-Syncs channel no spoilers but I feel like there's a lot of LORE!!!! in it lol
If it's inspired by Kane but they didn't work with Kane to make it, it might be better to not watch it, at least until Kane's finished with his videos and GT have come up with what they think is going on.
I think it's similar to trying to keep an arms length between Kane's backrooms and the wiki. I remember seeing quite a lot of people assume things about Kane's backrooms based on the wiki
@@lisahenry20 "I remember seeing quite a lot of people assume things about Kane's backrooms based on the wiki"
*cough* *cough* 8bitryan
I was here to suggest the same it could be cool even if it isn't Kane who is behind the channel 😁
@@truefacts128 what 8 bitryan only looked at the wiki to find stuff out about the other Levels and stuff after watching so other videos seeing level: 11 level: ! / RUN FOR YOUR LIFE level: 4 also I think it was level 24 also he watched videos made by others
I love that the Backrooms concept has just exploded in popularity as of late
As of late?
It’s great it’s such a solid concept that can do so much
@@Pablothewholenameissilent the initial picture was posted back in 2018 on 4chan and in May of 2019 another 4chan user gave it a creepypasta twist.
@@dyllanrodriguez2828
Too bad people started putting in le spooky monsters completely discarding the psychological aspects of the backrooms.
also yellow wallpaper is one of my favorite pieces of literature and the fact that it’s connecting to the back rooms???? hello special interest moment
I've learned more from the banter sections here than on whole tutorial channels 🤣
A game I highly recommend you to play is a game called Bugsnax. And yes it has lore.
They did a game theory video on it, fairly certain they played it at least a little bit.
Hey Mat I think you should make a video on the quarry there’s loads of lore stuff in the game
For the scene where they close off part of the backrooms I'm pretty sure they are closing off the path to the pitfalls room to try and contain the entity or keep people away from that area, I recognised the light coming from the corner since it was the same as it was in pitfalls.
I remember The Yellow Wallpaper from a Halloween episode of the "Stuff You Should Know" Podcast. They read scary or unsettling stories on Halloween. The Yellow Wallpaper is a horror fiction they read in their 2017 Spooktacular. So you can listen to them read it you prefer to listen. Plus it's free and the story is short.
1:45 Interesting you would mention that, in the wiki version of the backrooms there are creatures called the Almosts that supposedly created the backrooms to mimic earth. They're not very good at their job
Matpat lives in the same state as me and the thought that I could run into him on the street terrifies me
Im sorry I love the banter between Ash and Mat , you guys are hilarious (specifically at 24:17 to 25:33)
The yellow wallpaper is a really good read, kinda confusing at the end (it’s slightly creepy at the end as well) but overall, my whole class enjoyed it!
Could you do an episode on the quarry? The enemies in it are really cool
There really isn’t much to theorize about tbh
@@shungite8240 you could say the same about everything matpat covers
@@shungite8240 It’s hard to say without spoiling so (spoilers below)
Maybe to do with Elizas whole dog boy thing and what the background of that could be or the whole werewolf infection stuff. I just think it’s a really cool game and I really enjoyed it
@@shungite8240 or even just playing it on gt live could be fun maybe with Stephanie on two player
It is really cool it would be fun to watch him play it
I love this. It looks like he might be uploading something soon because his community page and such has been pretty active and usually he uploads shortly after from what I can tell but man I’m excited to see so much more of this. Lord knows I’m ready.
The pure accuracy of "a collab between the backrooms and women." when found footage 2 came out. I think Ash is a seer.
on the note of the yellow wallpaper, I would LOVE a book theory channel. that would be an insane workload on matt tho lol
GTLive the only channel that can make a 6 minute video into a 50 minute video and still make it interesting.
Sweet Matpat. The Yellow Wallpaper is a dense short story and freaks ALL women out. My class of 84 and just over half of us girls-ugh. Senior year English teacher nicknamed Dr. Doom (he owned the name) because all of his literature choices were depressing (from Shelley to Hamlet to a random poem about a kid accidentally chopping his hand off). For the two weeks we did the story I had empathetic hysteria (the "actual" mental disease being treated), severe anxiety, nightmares and day terrors (for some bizarre reason when the sun hit the junior and senior class walls just right their was a darker yellowish tinge to them) of moving yellow wallpaper and a figure of a woman moving within the moving wallpaper trying to get out, a big factor of what she was seeing in the room with no windows or a form of entertainment. I caught myself and at least two other classmates (girls) have to put their heads down for a few seconds so the walls would stop moving in class for those 2 weeks.
OK so as someone who has literally never even heard of this story, I'm very curious. Why does it specifically freak women out?
@@Hellknight101 Back in those days "hysteria" was considered a disease that affected women only. All it really was was women trying to do something out of the norm-reading and writing fantasy or scifi or informational things is an example. Usually the "cure" (feminism and time stamped out this whole thing) was 1 of 2 things-the reason vibrators are a thing now, and complete isolation. The lady was locked into a nursery with bad wallpaper with NOTHING to occupy her mind, not even sewing, and nothing going on outside. It starts out by being locked up too. What's worse is no people to interact with for at minimum a year, not even her husband. Now imagine yourself with little emotional control (no outlet) being in this situation and no way out. Empathy can kick you when you're already down and you start to see and feel what its like for yourself.
@@sarahsault6494 oh good lord that's terrifying.
You know, I was looking back at the “Informational Video” post from a few months ago, and started thinking about the ending. The researcher goes into the big office-like space, and it looks sealed off, almost like we see in this most recent video. Then when they shout “hello”, the alarm goes off, almost as if this is post-seal up done in May of 1990. Not sure what to think of this or if there’s a connection, but just putting it out there
Thank you Ash for explaining that new youtube feature! I was really confused when I first saw it
I love the concepts behind the new merch!! Bought the jacket myself, lol you did an incredible job convincing me to buy an article of clothing instead of funneling my money into plastic and cardboard like I usually do 🤣 can't wait to get the jacket in!
I love Mat’s theater kid energy 😂😂
the 25 minutes in where Matt's all "Are Tawn!" I can't help but have flashbacks to the HP Lovecraft song "Tentacles". "Here is Salem Tentacles get into everything sooner or later!"
So, matt talking about native flow has made me realize even more how odd but necessary it is now that when I find something really funny I pause video's now so I can enjoy that laugh without missing anything.
