Dayshift at Freddy's: A Comedic Masterpiece 

To me, DSAF is like the "Tails gets trolled" of the Fnaf community. It's basically something that started off as a shitpost, but as the series goes on, it gets progressively better and better, eventually turning into an absolute masterpiece of a series.

Dayshift at Freddy’s has some of that old humor that is just hard not to laugh at considering you KNOW what time it was made

This is why you need to play more than one ending. The REAL reason William changed his name to Dave Miller is so much more emotional than just "so he can continue to do what Henry wanted" the tapes describing how Henry hated the idea of Dave changing his name to his dead sons really hits hard. Dave's pure LOVE for Henry being the reason he can't die as no matter what he can't let go of Henry's dream. Hurts so much knowing William loved him SO much he was willing to change his entire identity to match Henry's sons name only for Henry to LITERALLY steal his organs while he slept to see if it would effect him in anyway.

The whole Nightman thing is just a big 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia' reference

can confirm, these games are very comedic and a masterpiece i am completely unbiased

Honestly when you said that players could do something they wanted to do for a long time I thought you were gonna talk about devouring toy chicas “hot bird ass”. But yes throwing balloon boy out a window was much more desired by fans without a doubt

I love how this goofy games can end up being the most emotional at times.

Ah finally-- someone else who agrees Dave is the best version of William Afton. He's my absolute favourite, and I always have to tell people who are only familiar with it at a surface level "yes really, I mean it" haha

Dave originally didn’t want to go kill children, and felt really bad for doing so, but after he gets springlocked and posses his own corpse, Henry starts doing tests on him by removing parts of his brain, effectively removing his conscience entirely

Have you considered checking out Henry’s tapes in DSaF 3? It really gives a lot of insight on Henry and Dave’s motivations, along with the evil ending.

Find it funny how he starts talking about “ascending” by checking out the DSAF games with the player model of Jack, who canonically is unable to go to heaven. How ironic!

dsaf 1 definitely aged the least well. dsaf 2 has some outdated jokes but does its job well at combining comedy and emotional stories and dsaf 3 completely NAILS the story aspect, due to it not trying to be as funny as the previous games did.

I would've gone a bit more into the story. Like how Jack gave Blackjack to dave because Dave WOULD NOT leave. He had abandonment issues, which is why he stuck with Henry for so many years. When Dave was given Blackjack, Jack told him it was because Jack the Soulless corpse could not move on, and that Blackjack would never leave his side. I think that's a very important point that shoulda been brought up. Alongside Jack being a soulless corpse, who had the end does not move on with the others, meaning he ceases to exist. While the others get a "happy ending", Jack gets a "tragic ending". The only thing that lives on, is the memories of the others have about him.

Honestly the best ending from DSAF 1 (imo) was where you get Phone Guy to get Dave arrested rather than you. Basically you have to get really hecking lucky and run into either Ze Health Inspector or The Bullies after you murder the kiddins. Then, you need to speak to Phoney (since he'll give you a favor for helping him out) and use the favor to basically say "I killed those kids, but I need you to make Dave take the fall." Phone Guy hates you for it, but he's a man of his word and Dave gets arrested. This ending is the hardest to me due to the fact that most runs that I played didn't have those encounters at all. I've only fought Ze Health Inspector twice and saved the Crying Child once in around 20 playthroughs (I kept dying lol).

Nobody mentioned it so I will, the "rat" is a character from "tomorrow's pioneers". Just be careful when looking it up, it has some... Interesting views on Jewish people.

Dayshift At Freddy's was not really a fan game I expected to be the most memorable one, I remember back in 2016/2017 watching all the vids about it and having a laugh at the jokes. I've recently played it on August 2022 and I do not regret it. I still haven't gotten all endings for DSaF 1 and 2, and I have yet to start DSaF 3. Great video Nitro!

Honestly, it was kind of scary to see the transition from "haha funny" to "oh god oh f^^k" between DSAF 2 and 3

I unironically cry every time I watch the ending of Dayshift 3. What started as a joke became a fairly well-woven reimagining of the convoluted story we all fell in love with. It’s got that nostalgic feel that the first few fnaf games have. And DSaF 3 being loosely based on Pizza Sim, my favorite game in the series, helps too. I proudly stand among the cult following for this series, haha.

to this day i will still say "hello, old sport" unapologetically

You need to play dsaf 3 and get the other endings. Godred is creepy as fuck and cool at the same time. The evil ending is awesome and the business ending too. I think there’s a ballpit ending with music man I might be wrong. There’s other stuff too.

It’s kinda funny/ironic how the DSaF’s series gets less funny as the series progresses. The 1st game is the funniest out of all of them. The most jokes used and is overall, as you said, a shitpost. But the second starts funny in the 1st half but gets serious and emotional the 2nd half. The 3rd game is serious the whole way through with mild humor here and there. It definitely matured over the years.

something that I'm really impressed with in dsaf2 is just how many endings it has. theres a completely unique ending for every decision you make with dave and peter in their respective routes. like, completely unique and worth it, not like dsaf1 where you can die slightly differently.

I remember playing it when I got my first laptop, I already watched the full series by then though, 3rd game made me cry

Five nights at fuckboys is underrated

Even though you didn’t play through most of the endings, I absolutely enjoyed the video, but the creepiest ending in the trilogy was definitely either the bad ending or the ending with IT in it (both from dsaf3)

tbh i feel like dsaf was one of more unique fangames mostly because: instead of a night time it take places in the day, it was made in rpg maker, and instead of being a horror its pure comedy (mostly) thats also why i love this trilogy, also counting the lore of it

I am glad this game is now getting some more recognition. This is the most memorable and close to my heart fangame, surprisingly enough. I literally cried when I beat dsaf 3, granted i was a lot younger then but it's just an amazing fangame

I feel like DSAF is such an interesting side of the FNAF fandom with its own amazing story that honestly at least for me you wouldn’t really expect for FNAF especially sense FNAF is mainly associated with “creepy game where kids die” It’s just such a nice story with nicely thought out characters that you can actually feel bad for and in some weird way relate to. Honestly DSAF needs even more people to talk about it

I haven’t watched all the way through yet, but hey!! Did you know Dog (the creator) has made and released another game: Dialtown! It’s connected to the DSAF universe, but basically doesn’t rely on it abd only a few references and a few recognizable characters, but honestly you don’t need to play DSAF to play Dialtown other then understand these references. It’s a really fun dating game with similar comedy and chaos that DSAF has but again, alot more polished and with a more fleshed out and cohesive story! Dog has really improved alot in game play, story telling, characters and even art, in Dialtown! edit: saw it was mentioned at the end! still gonna keep this up for viewers who don’t know!

The story of dayshift is well developed. That's either a good thing or a bad one.

Dsaf is the true pick your own adventure game. It can be funny, violent, horrifying, goofy, serious and sad all based on your choices. The true good ending of dsaf 3 hasn't made me cry as hard in years..

Withered freddy becoming dayman to fight night man is an always sunny in Philadelphia reference

Man dayshift at Freddie’s is such a funny series! I’m glad your covering it

A little piece of me dies every time the Nightman joke in dsaf2 is misunderstood

Literally every person i watch that plays this game always does the dave endings!! That's how awesome dave is!!

Dave Miller is my favorite character out of all of the characters. Because Why hello there, Old Sport!

When I saw the thumbnail I immediately & very audibly stated “Kebab,” in Dave's voice.

Dude the dayshift at freddys franchise is so good, it is my favorite fnaf fangame series, words cannot explain how good it is

In order to achieve immortality, you have to rick roll God and Satan at the same time, recite the bee movie script to the sisters of fate and let Death know about the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise.

Never would've thought I'd feel bad for people that have freaking rotary phones for heads

Pretty well done! While your editing style is slow paced and “natural feeling”, I think it Fits your voice well. The only gripe I have is that you did not talk about all the silly Easter eggs and endings, I was really expecting something more in-depth. But to be frank… it’s already 40 minutes, so I understand why you cut the non-important stuff out.

A new dsaf video. *You have summoned the fandom*

Just to be clear - it wasn't made in RPG Maker, there's a similar engine by the same people (KADOWA) that made RPG Maker. I don't remember the name but it's one of the first things you see when you scroll down on their website.

DSAF best joke . . . . "Thank"

Its always so cool to see how Dialtown and DSaF intertwine! I didn't know Abel was mentioned in Dsaf!

18:56 "bleeding bleeding pain vast discomfort" 😂😂

Same with me here honestly. It took me years to try DSAF but in the span of a couple days it's become one of my favourite series ever.

The first two were really funny, and then the third one decided to act really serious

purple guy is the type of dude you would like to see on a public show with the "meatball parade" music by kevin macleod playin in the backround its just his character

The “Dayman” bit in DSaF2 is from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. One of the characters writes a Musical with the Nightman and Dayman being the bad guy and good guy respectively

Phone head: Everyone calm down, jimbo just had a slight fall, jimbo will be ok- Jimbo:JIMBO WILL NOT BE OK!!!

The mascot you couldn't remember in the first game is the Honey Monster, the mascot for Sugar Puffs. I remember this vividly because I was a fan of the Mighty Boosh as a teenager and during a live show they decapitated an effigy of the Honey Monster because Sugar Puffs had done an ad campaign using a similar style of improv song to them and they were kind of mad about it. This was waaaay back in like 2008 or thereabouts and it's a memory I cherish dearly for how batshit insane it sounds out of context or even trying to explain the context.

I WOULD FUCKING LOVE A DSAF GAME IN THE STYLE OF HENRY STICKMIN

I'm glad that DSAF ended well and that it was a true masterpiece! What's even better is that from my knowledge, Direct Doggo doesn't really have any flaws!

I love this game so much. Definitely my favorite FNaF fangame.

Another day another banger lol. Another great video! You're really consistent with all this. Good job!

Now here's the thing I never understood about the DSaF 3 true ending. What happens to Jack? I mean he burns alive but he has no soul so he can't go to the afterlife, so what happens with him? Is he just in a void of his own conscience? A living pile of ash? Like what happens to him after the story?

Dayman, fighter of the Nightman, Champion of the Sun. He's a master of Karate and friendship for everyone

Can someone else make the faithful sequel to doggo's DSAF trilogy with ocs, memes amazing writing and parodies of characters from fnaf 4-SB

shame you didn't cover more of dayshift 3s endings the evil/vegas ending it really puts dave as a whole and the good ending into persepctive and the GODRED end sure is somthing

*E G G P L A N T P U N C H*

I re-played the first installment recently. Was bored, at home without my main pc and stuck with a chugger. Remembered this game and honestly had a blast. It just so charming.

Dsaf fabs flocking to any last bit of dsaf content

Haven't heard of this title in a longggg time... It's nice though. Brings back good memories. I remember when I first watched a youtuber play it, and I'd be hiding it behind another tab lol It was definitely full of cursing and not-so-appropriate jokes, and my parents weren't super into me viewing that. I finally managed to download the game myself and I played all three in the right order. When I played the games, I'd get every ending in each before starting the next one. I even had a folder dedicated to my favorite moments from all three of the games. I don't know where that folder is now though... I remember being in the fandom even though the series ended. I made headcanons that Dave and Jack loved each other (who didn't), and I even made a headcanon that Jack found a way to Dave and the whole party were going through miscellaneous adventures in a town that was basically an ideal version of the city the dsaf 2 place was in. They could live their lives without worry of child murder or killings or anything else awful. Dave and Jack started their own pizzeria, and ghost kids would come to this pzzaria and finally get to live out the life they always wanted to live, getting to just eat pizza and watch the shows. I don't remember if I ever gave anything for dee or Peter, but they lived at the same house as Jack, and Dave lived in his own house, and so did Steven. The other characters who went to heaven also had their own homes, but this story was mostly about Dave, Jack, Dee, Peter, and Steven. Blackjack was also there every so often. It was kind of goofy, but that was what DSAF was, and it was a great series I got to enjoy :')

Dsaf series lures you in with its jokes and then it whips it out Its story

I watched dsaf when I was way to young to understand the jokes, but I laughed the heck watching it, I loved dave especially, this gives me nostalgia even though the game is a hilarious photoshop fever dream.

The dayman and nightman bits are actually a reference to the show "It's always sunny in philadelphia"

Fun fact: the day man and night man are from Always Sunny In Philadelphia

This is one of the most nistolgic fnaf fangames for me it’s amazing, great vid man!

What an odd bedtime story. Good night, Sportsy.

"And even if you play a new save he keeps that grin and jacks his permanent name now" I guess you can say "Jack is back, it's time for him to let'er rip!"

You really should’ve played the evil ending and listened to the Henry tapes, it would’ve given a LOT more insight into Dave and Henry’s backstories and dynamic. It’s…horrifying, to say the least. It’ll also explain Dave’s weird behaviour and why he cares so little about killing kids.

Dave is the this best part of the series! change my mind? VEGAS BABY!

you really undersold the final moments in dsaf 3 it was a genuinely good bit of writing for a game that has a aubergine man strangling toddlers

the cereal mascot is (i’m pretty sure) the honey monster from sugar puffs/honey monster puffs/honey puffs if anyone was wondering

The good ending of 3 makes me cry every time without fail.

DSAF is quite literally the comfy sleepover side of fnaf fangames, theres absolute whackedyness being occured by no other than 2 8-bitted employees. With a Phone headed boss in 2 games trying to stop the mischief. Dsaf 3 may of had a depressing ending with Old sport not being able to come along with the buddies, but the journey in the trilogy was enough to make people laugh.

Exquisite analysis, old sport. I enjoyed watching your reaction to this godly shitpost

Check out bad ending in dsaf 3 Spoiler: it gets pretty tragic in the ending

I made a day shift at Freddy's (Pick of the Fax) animation years ago and it became my most popular video... It is still to this day getting views and comments. Let's just say that this game holds a special place in my heart

0:20 *I like how this segment was recorded in Garry’s Mod.*

Henry miller is one of my favorite pure evil villains ever no cap

there's actually an game before Dsaf 3 which is the ''child carity game'' or something like that,which you controll jack as he survives fnaf 1 pizzaria and then on the hard mode or i think its night 7, you play as dave and he dies there on the springlock suit.

little bit of info, 'the nightman' is a reference to a tv show called it's always sunny in philidelphia. in one of the episodes theres this little song and it goes "nightman, fighter of the dayman, master of karate and friendship for everyone" and the whole nightman thing is a direct reference to it

was not expecting music from ultrakill but it's very welcome I love that game

the most iconic thing about these games is dave's voice its this wierd mix of like 3 or 4 text to speech voices that matches so well just if you as much as hear a word from him you know its him and his catchphrases never miss

Crazy that FNaF 6 confirmed that Old Sport was canon

Finnally this game's status has been recognized

WOW ALREADY STARTING STRONG WITH THE STORM EAGLE THEME. Immediate sub

all games by direct doggo are simply true masterpieces

Dayshift at Freddy's is one of the games I grew up with. There were times when I thought I was one of the Flipside squad and created movie scenarios about DSaF in my head when I was little. DSaF has inspired me many times. Especially Dee. I remember using her as a model in my designs 2-3 years ago, and still do. I was 9 when I learned this game and it is still one of the things I love most in my life. Thank you for my beautiful childhood Directdoggo

The scariest thing this game series produced was Godred… and the fox yiffing

Day man and Nightman are probably referencing Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Charlie writes a play about them in an episode.

perfect fangame 100/100

Look. During DSAF3, I was like "are they seriously trying to make me feel bad for the Literal Child Murderer. Who started the last game by saying 'Im gonna go kill some kids lol'." and by the end...I felt bad for the child murderer. So. That says smth about the game.

Your reference to Henry Stickmin as a game with multiple endings shows you need to play more video games.

This reminds me of the time Freddy Fazbear ate my limbs.

DsaF has so many jokes, but holy hell i love the lore involving Henry and Dave. It's just so interesting...

Dsaf 2 is and will always be my fav it was hallourios,made me cry,and interduced me to my fav character.

The DSAF Fandom is pretty chaotic Me and some boys even made a Steven (DSAF 1 Phone Guy) cult in a DSAF Roblox RP game (DSAF:the new location) Me and the boys decided to form a Phone Guy cult just to stop inappropriate trolls. Then we made a Ritual, all of us are Steven Phoneys and 1 of them is a Harry Phoney. Me and the other Steven Phoneys made a circle and the Harry Phoney stood in the middle of the circle. Harry did a T-pose and spinned, the Stevens and I yelled "HARRY PICKAXUS" and "PHONICUS RITUALUS" and played the Hello sound. The Harry Phoney spinned while T-Posing, at the end of the Ritual, we all spinned
