FNAF's Most Confusing Lore is Impossible | UN-Solving Midnight Motorist 

Yes! That's it. Phenomenal video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r5nfaz6ZZKA.htmlsi=P12q8uYSoFt6C1YF

so orange guy is Mrs. Afton????????

@@catod0_ not quite but hey whos tho say

@@zgmfx-09a orang guy is williams brothur

@@catod0_ yeah it's pink guy

That thing was incredibly well made xD

Yeah I watched it once on his old channel, and then a second time when he reposted it on this channel.

Fantastic white noise if I do say so myself

Saaame😄 i love listening to longass video essays while working and that vid is my new fave to do so

Same honestly

He got run out of making Chris Chan videos

Gibi has the best theory out of all them anyways. They are just salty

Typical tribalism.

have you considered that shits 9 hours long

@@ExValeFor yes, and i've watched it Thrice

@@ExValeFor i watched it over the course of two days. the video has neat chapters all over it especially after each game. you could easily split up watching it over a longer period of time.

yea, that is just pathetic

Mattpat defintley has the time he just dosent wanna use it.

@@Gorartsy he's juggling 4 channels (not in entirety but still) and live streaming, he probably doesn't

I think it's crazy that 3.1 million people that aren't youtubers and have jobs/school watched it, and these RU-vidRS went "nah f*ck that".

@@saratoga6663 he could have made it into a live stream were he reacts to it there’s a way he could make money from just watching it.

@@Gorartsy dude it's almost 9 hours long, with the way he reacts to videos that would take at least 15 livestreams to get through

This is actually pretty interesting

It could also be cassidy ig

I think this comment really seals it for me that MM is about one of the MCI victims.

@@frogitude3106 I’m glad

i think the idea that its the second could work, but i think midnight motorists being the story of cassidy escaping an abusive household, just to be tortured in the fnaf 4 trials and then springlocked, makes narrative sense to explain why cassidy is so vengeful the whole "second victim" thing could explain it but i think showing suzie as the first and cassidy as the last makes much more sense. also also, given the whole "video game theory" from GiBi, cassidy playing as her own father would explain how it is in such great detail compared to retelling suzie's story in the arcade.

Okay but the fact you drive on the left side of the road, heading right on the screen, you could easily have it designed to drive on the right side of the road still going to the right side of the screen.

Flip the car sprites, switch the speeds. Problem solved.

No that wouldn't make sense because then your obstacles will come from behind you as soon as the mini game started. They have to come from the opposite side of the screen. I think it was a gameplay choice. I haven't seen a video of the game but I think orange guy gets out of the left side of the car, which means it's not an English car.

That's the whole point of the video. There's some things that you have to just assume aren't meant to be hints in the game and that it comes from something like game design instead. If everyone was to hyper focus on the cars driving on the left then it just throws a lot of the other details out of wack

@@rosestar1324But he doesn’t get out of the left side of the car, he just teleports to the middle of the car when he exits the vehicle.

could be multiple things, either not letting others in to their enclosed group, not wanting to be associated to someone elses work, closed off to new ideas, not respecting other possibilities, or, not enough time, which i also dont understand cause they read various books for days and on, yet not gonna watch a vid due to x reason, even if its the biggest and fullest idea,

I feel like FNaF is a full-time job for MatPat at this point. Watching a lore video is 9 hours of unpaid overtime and he's already exhausted.

​@@swagardoesn't he read books and stuff for his videos? Reading and analysing those takes days, I think he could watch a 9 hour video over ~3 days or so, especially since it itself is a theory video, so he could likely produce his own video on how he feels about it as a whole, and maybe even several videos for specific parts of the theory. In short, if he got permission he could easy profit off of that video, yet chose not to.

​​​@@JediahInNaboohwtf was that take on matpat 😂? All that just because he didn't plan on watching a 9h video despite being a busy figure? Multiple times he flat out said that some of his previous theories were wrong, most notably the wacky dream theory, he constantly said his catchphrase at the end of every video, implying that it's all just speculation and he could be all wrong about it. Dont get pissy for gibi, that video already got 4 and a half million views. But let's bitch about how one person didn't watch it, yeah?

And will never have the pieces for 😭

This. People need to see 2015 is fact

honestly he could just cut the 9h long video in parts, like is already done, split them and post it in a playlist so people can actually see and reference only one specific part of his masterpiece. I don't think he should, but he could. If those youtubers don't want to see it, then it's their problem not GiBi's. The whole video IS CRAFTED for it to be watched as you can, come on lmao

Yeah I think it’s very likely Scott just made a mini game with cars coming at the player, not actively thinking about the implications of the sides

Well yes, except actually no. The majority of the world drives on the right hand side of the road (165 nations and territories to 75), loathe though my British arse is to admit it. The original split follows vaguely that French colonies or affiliated countries drove on the right, while the British colonies or allied nations took the left side of the road - but very pointedly, Americans have driven on the right hand side of the road by law since before the invention of the car itself. If it is simply a mistake on Scott's part (which it very well may be) it's an odd slip up for a Texan to make.

@@englishdprmapping1613 You right, that’s my bad. Regardless though, probably an honest mistake which Scott has been known to make throughout the FNAF series

wait wait wait wait brits and australians do NOT sound similar at all wtaf where did that come from????

Honestly the only thing that makes him not the Gold Standard for me is the fact he isn't Wendigoon but even Wendigoon thinks fucking FNAF 3 Onwards takes place in the 2020s.

1. IMO the car speed isnt important because midnight motorist is a game within a game and limiting your speed to like 60 or whatever would kill the fun. 2. The fnaf universe canonically doesnt have bears as they died out sometime in the past (possibly why Freddy doesnt resemble a bear at all) and technology (mostly animatronics) is so much more advanced than our own i think its fair to asume that fnaf doesnt follow irl timeline all that much.

@@freeguy3894 1. If the car was actually moving slowly it would be a boring game, agreed - however, if he really wanted to use visual cues to indicate the time period or place, there was nothing stopping him from making purple car still move very, exaggeratedly fast graphically to show how powerful it is compared to the other cars, but make it so the speedometer still only goes up to 60. 2. Ok, wtf? I'm interested, explain please? The advancement of the technology is a valid point tbh. Personally, I interpreted it as, again, creative license, to go along with the ghost children possessing stuff. Plus they still have the same crappy old TVs, monitors, arcade machines, fans, etc. around the different 80s/90s locations - it's just the actual robotic stuff that's crazy advanced. (Though you could argue that was a budget thing) From the perspective of a normal person in the universe it might also be easy to underestimate it as just an uninspired kids' pizza chain and not see the genius of the animatronics (I believe William might encourage that line of thought if he thought it would protect himself, even if it hurt his pride.) Sorry, this was a monster of a comment

It can be entirely possible that Michael is still the escaped child still in this scenario

@@dumbpersonalert9852 in what scenario? I didn't even mention Michael in this lol

@@Minceraft69if it took place in Britain the run away could be Michael as a really young kid (despite the many other loopholes like the footprints and the mount of dirt)

love this! it also kind of explains the left driving aspect of the actual minigame. sort of like og special delivery? i do think it's the normal mci child theory but i like this tie in and i think it checks some of the boxes that are missed in other theories

This was wholesome to me

Wouldn’t the broken glass be on both sides regardless of which side the window was broken from?

@@techmark3665not really and I genuinely don’t know how to explain that because it’s just… I feel bad saying this but it’s just quite obvious like it’s common sense. even if I gave it the benefit of the doubt there would be a significant difference in the amount of glass either side, like maybe if someone idk punched the glass and as they were pulling their arm out some glass came with it, that would still be a tiny amount of glass and barely worth even adding to the graphics. This might sound like silly evidence BUT watch any crime show or true crime whatever and whenever there is a broken window they can tell which direction the break was with where the glass is.

I don’t wanna run it into the ground but I feel like I should explain what my brain is thinking.. So if you think of the breaking glass like spitting out water - your lips being the window and the water droplets being the glass shards - when you spit out the water it’s all going to go in one direction and there is no way that any of the water that got to the point of your lips would be back in your mouth, they may just fall on your shirt but still. The glass is going to follow the direction of the force applied is basically what I’m saying

@@With_cheese_mr_squidward Sorry, I want to clarify that you are correct in that there would definitely be more glass on one side than the other. After giving it more thought, there is a strong possibility that it may have not been shown as to stop people from misconstruing that it was broken from the outside.

@@techmark3665aw dude that’s okay and I really hope I didn’t sound patronising at all, thank you for being so kind ☺️☺️

When the comment is terrible

You know now that you mention it, what if orange guy isn't orange, what if he's supposed to be gold?

@@henrold__ no, it's definitely orange by the text colour

Yeah, my interpretation of those shadows has always been that they were shadows of animatronics on a stage somewhere out of our 2D view in the minigame. I never knew that anyone thought that they were some kind of apparition that the crying child sees.

Yeah, they're 100% just shadows cast on the wall because you also see the shadow of the stage they're standing on

I just assumed that was a clue hinting that the shadow animatronic where taking their form the entire time.

Thousands of people have played this game, hundreds have theorized, dozens have made RU-vid videos about it--and I unironically think you're the first person to make that connection and that's one of the greatest things I've ever heard. Obviously in universe it wouldn't mean anything, but that might be Scott's indication that we should be thinking along those lines. I don't really believe that orange guy is Will's father, I just think it's a interesting interpretation of the mini game, but if it is true that is unironically one of the most compelling pieces of evidence And one of the best connections I have ever heard in this franchise.

I originally got the 'orange guy is William's father and Will is the runaway' theory from a theorist called BlackFootFerret, and it's one of his ideas that I actually liked, compared to 85% of his theories.

@@SomeonesBestFriend11_SBF yeah

@@DJBurns-jq8mn Also, I'm currious about the other comment uoiu mentioned om the top of this thread.

@@SomeonesBestFriend11_SBF I made 5 options to answer MNM and only 3 of them I actually think are possible. Option 1 was the William father theory. Option 2: CC is being lured by Shadow Bonnie/Shadow Freddy to Charlie's dead body thus him seeing what looks like the Puppet having killed his friend and that being what he saw making him scared of the original animatronics and Scott's (what's seen in Shadows is misunderstood in the mind of a child) quote from the FNAF 4 days. Option 3: MNM has to be the aftermath of a MCI victim (likely Cassidy) being either abused or lured and taken by William in the Spring Bonnie suit as the Chica cutscenes tell us how William killed the MCI victims with the first being identical to Susie becoming Chica from Fruity Maze and the last one being about William beating up the kid if they don't follow him. And with the new book story, the family has to be Cassidy's parents who were obviously not good at their job and to represent why Cassidy would be so vengeful to begin with. Add that with being stuffed into a animatronic (possibly springlocked) and unable to move properly for many years then we got ourselves a mixture for an angry person. Not to mention Scott said many times he clears up stuff in the next game and UCN (being the next game after FNAF 6) is heavily about Golden Freddy. Option 4: it can also be about Henry and his family coping with Charlie's death as Henry still supposedly has his son Sammy and his Wife as they didn't leave him until after Charlie died. The pile of dirt could be Charlie's grave explaining why he stops and gets out of his car to walk there despite there being no path. The footprints have to be either a Springlock suit, Shadow Freddy or an old mascot suit as they are the only things that have 3 toes and the only ones who would have access to any of them are William or Henry as they made the suits and wore them. It's a stretch but it can make sense

Fnaf is British 🇬🇧

No seriously lmfao

also , ya... man... idk you released a 9 hr fnaf lore video going over the first 6 games and teased a second mayhaps of similar length give or take. ya man, you make fnaf videos now. theres no way the fnaf community was going to let that slide. and if it werent for matpat elongating every smaller fnaf theory not his own into 4 hr watch alongs ... im sure that 9 hr one is high on the list of things to watch. it would just take him until we reached the heat death of the universe to finish.

I originally got the 'Orange guy is William's father' theory from a theorist called BlackFootFerret, and it's one of his ideas that I actually liked, compared to 85% of his theories. Ferret is insane, like more then MatPat, and that's saying something.

@@SomeonesBestFriend11_SBF Lmao. I'll check him out. Thanks. 👍

@Takejiro24 depending on your personal feelings you'll either not agree bit like the story or you'll hate it just a warning

Animatronic could be Williams childhood imagination that he would implement when he becomes adult

Also think that the mound is a grave that William dug to toss Andrew’s body in. 5 suits and 6 victims. He couldn’t have been stuffed.

MatPat said it in a GTLive video recently, and the others said it during a livestream on ID's Fantasy's channel a few days ago as well. They all went like "What? A 9 hours FNAF video? I appreciate the effort, but that's too much for me. I'm not gonna watch it". And then there's me who doesn't do any theory videos, but has already watched it twice 😂

There is still the chance that Rye toast might watch It.

@@charleswolfe8896 I hope so! It truly deserves to be watched. Also, they're been dumb because reacting to a 9 hour video basically guarantees them hours and hours of content between the reaction itself, the commentary, the counterarguments etc. They're just shooting themselves on the foot

@@Merione That's annoying. Given that his playlist with all of his lore videos is definitely longer than 9 hours. He doesn't have to react to it on camera or something, but at least watching it passively to see what ideas are in there, like while he's editing or something, would be respectful. I know it's unrealistic to expect him to watch every single lore video that comes up, but this one has millions of views, it must have something going for it.
