Ranking EVERY Markiplier FNAF Thumbnail Ever 

Thank you to Morgan & Morgan for sponsoring this video! Make sure to check them out using my link: forthepeople.com/uhyeah

If Mark wasn't working on his movie right now I could totally see him watching this video then doing a livestream or video where he'd go back to the original Photoshop files, take all the thumbnails that ranked like C and lower, remake them to be S teir, and then update those videos. He just lives off of that kind of "fuck you" energy.

a fnaf youtuber sponsored by a law firm. Absolutely legendary.

obviously we all know that Withered BonCha was when Mark's FNAF thumbnails peaked

The lack of Nightmare Freddy in the FNAF 4 thumbnails was probably done because Mark didn't want to spoil the jumpscare for himself (Also he didn't even encounter Nightmare Freddy until the extras menu was unlocked) so he just used the footage he recorded and made what he could with those screenshots.

Fun fact, Markiplier used the dangles 19 times in his FNAF thumbnails.

Markipliers editing skills are insane.

fun fact: the reason that the original freddy's fnaf 1 frame was still used in marks fnaf 4 part 1 video was because he had not yet encountered nightmare freddy in-game, and REALLY didn't want to spoil it for himself which is just crazy to me

I noticed that Mark usually uses the characters he either died to a lot in that episode or just saw a bunch in the episode. Which is kind of cool.

Nothing beats Warning scariest game in years

From someone who draws half the thumbnails they use and hard edits the rest. I do love seeing Marks process for making these. Really nice insight and I love learning how to make my stuff POP more

I loved being so confused in Markiplier's thumbnail back then after seeing a "new animatronics" showed up

"But the good ones are good" truer words have never been spoken.

16:19 feels a little flippant for one of the best applications of actual photography skills in the series. rule of two thirds be damned (being off-center is one of the most effective framing tools possible; it's even used in this video's thumbnail.) it is simple and effective, using only contrasting colors. literally everything you want and need in a thumbnail. "dead space" is a myth for this particular thumbnail style when the dead space is in and of itself a framing device to enhance the focal points (puppet).

You know, I really love the touch of the usual outro being replaced with a Markiplier-style jumpscare loop outro. Really adds to the Markiplier experience.

The Homestuck cosplay transition screens were physically painful. Like a FNAF jumpascare, but the animatronic is my 13 year old self.

criminally underrating the chica/bonnie combo thumbnail from fnaf 2, always been one of my favorite thumbnails from the series it’s so creative and fits the theme of the title and episode very well

I clicked from the notification, so this video is factually wrong and the universe is ending.

Hey fun fact, so when I was younger and first saw mark’s first FNaF thumbnail I thought Bonnie was a walrus and that FNAF was a point and click horror game that took place in a haunted house where you had to complete tasks for the animal hosts. Keep in mind I had NO FNaF knowledge past this ONE image.

22:19 highly disagree, even though it’s basic the colors and the render of Freddy goes hard.

Fun fact: Mark’s fnaf 2 thumbnail with the combo of the top of withered Chica and the bottom of Withered Bonnie is referencing to what happened in the video where he ended up getting a glitch where he got jump scared by withered Bonnie but withered Chica was also in the office for some reason, that’s why he made the thumbnail like that, even if it doesn’t look that good

Its one thing for a fnaf video to be sponsored by a law firm, but to have *HOMESTUCK COSPLAY TIKTOKS IN THE BACKGROUND? WHAT?!*

21:49 has to be my favorite mark thumbnail in general. Your thoughts on it are totally valid, the uncanny weirdness of it is just something I love. It's both funny and intriguing, and as a thumbnail it is one of the most effective attention grabbers I've seen probably ever. It's really cool to see how two different people can look at the same image and have the exact opposite opinions for the exact same reason.

It is never not a jumpscare whenever I see Homestuck in your videos. Keeps me on my toes

If I had a nickel for every FNAF video I saw sponsored by Morgan and Morgan, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

The end card being used similarly to Mark’s is a very nice touch on this vid.

the 2015 homestuck cosplay backgrounds during the rules section are what really make this video

the revisited thumbnails weren't good (they were obviously made in like a minute as they were live stream thumbnails) but the streams themselves were genuinely amazing, especially the 2nd one

The last person I expected to take legal advice from was a purple version of the dog from Foodfight

When I was a kid I saw Markiplier's FNAF 2 titles and thumbnails (plus the title of MatPat's FNAF 2 video) and imagined some crazy plot involving a killer combining Bonnie and Chica in order to kill the player, and also the game ending with some reveal about Golden Freddy (I assumed Markiplier's thumbnail was a screenshot from the end, and I also remember mistakenly thinking the danglies were sparks?). Part of this was just me not knowing how FNAF actually played (I was 11 and too scared to watch FNAF videos) so I'd just guessed what the games were probably like based on my nonexistent knowledge of what horror games were like. I definitely remember thinking the part 1 thumbnail was from some sort of opening cutscene.

Back when Mark uploaded his first FNAF video, I was still in High School. That, and I was actually quite disturbed by the thumbnail. It was 10:00 PM on a school night, and I wanted zero chance of having nightmares. Nowadays I don't get unnerved as easily, but it's still wild for me to think about.

Thank you for the HS cosplay videos in the background of the explaination. Definitely not a horror to behold

Idk why but I always liked the blurry parts of those thumbnails, as it made it feel like there was a lot going on in the sense that they're moving, kinda like the fnaf 1 thumbnail with Bonnie's jumpscare being blurry, or fnaf 4 N.Bonnie being blurry in the background, like it makes me feel like he's running down the hall behind N.Chica, yeah Plushtrap does look a little odd lmao. With the ones with empty spaces, like the Nightmarion jumpscare, idk why I like it, it might be something to do with negative space or that it just looks ominous due to well, that jumpscare looks pretty damn cool and creepy by itself, even without the implications of that character representing death itself, but just the odd amount of empty space in the background sort of emphasizes that feeling for me. I also remember the fnaf 2 W.Foxy thumbnail fondly and always thought it looked cool, that and I have always digged W.Foxy's design, so the use of his rare screen in that thumbnail is quite nostalgic to say the least for me in terms of his fnaf 2 playthrough. But yeah I'd say what makes a good thumbnail can vary depending on whom you ask, so what might pop out to one person may just be scrolled by another. Though there will be quite the overlap in what is seen as appealing or as a good thumbnail, as some thumbnails in general are good while others are bad.

The issue with the one at 9:13 is in the composition of the image. They are too smushed together in the same plane of perspective, that (along with the jumpscare faces) makes it feel like they are competing for space. If you look at toy freddie's shoulder it looks like he is about to elbow the fuck outta bonnie and while saying "Get out of my light, rabbit!" Looking at the next thumbnails from that point foreward, it seems that mark noticed that issue and make sure not to repeat it, the Monty + Endo from SB is a good example of that evolution.

13:03 iirc when mark was making this thumbnail he hadn’t seen nightmare Freddy yet, so he just reused classic Freddy to avoid spoiling himself

This is a very creative idea! Would definitely watch more like it

at 12:17 uhyeah claims that mark didnt use a single asset from fnaf three, but mark did use an asset from fnaf 3, the eyes. tho i agree with the rest of the points lol

Hey man congrats on almost at 400k can’t wait to see you grow even more!!! 🥳

The fact that you used Markipier's outro style from his fnaf videos for your outro here shows just how much you respect him and its such a great touch

"Chica and Bonnie are Back!" Is the most nostalgic one for me. Saw it on release.

I'm realizing through watching most of the recent videos that either uhyeah or the editor is a massive fan of Homestuck. makes me feel nostalgic for it.

I love how he recreated the old style of outro Mark did with the Chipper jumpscare at the end. Also god this just makes me really nostalgic in general.

lmao the homestuck cosplay in the background

I actually really like the nightmarione one, the first one with the jumpscare frame. It being unedited and off to the left slightly, to me at least, feels like it adds to uneasiness of nightmarione, the twisted uncanny version of this puppet that we knew at this point to be a benevolent character. The help wanted Bonnie repair thumbnail gives off "you got games on your phone?" Vibes

I can’t believe bro went from being the announcer for a fantourney to being sponsored by a law firm

Shoutouts to whoever added the outro effect using a Tyke & Son's jumpscare akin to that of the Markiplier FNAF outros. Very nice touch 👌

the homestuck cosplays in the bg 😭😭😭

I LOVE the extra bit of the looping scene at the end, that markiplier does at the end of his videos with a jumpscare.

I never thought that tier list videos could be so in-depth, high-effort and attentive to detail certified uhyeah banger

4:15 4:30 4:46 ACIDIXZ cannot keep getting away with this. At this point one of uhyeah's videos is just going to have an entire Homestuck flash on screen as he talks. (Also, the track playing in the background at 22:15 is Sunslammer from Homestuck Vol. 5)

Ever since you mentioned on Twitter the mouse cursor on the golden Freddy thumbnail I immediately start noticing each time I see it.

The Homestuck tiktoks in the background just made me whiplash a bit during the rule explaining lmao

25:03 “what’s up doc”

I think the scariest thing about this video was the surge of buried memories I got whenever Homestuck content flashed on screen

26:43 I like how he used the same type of ending in the Fnaf Markiplier videos where it is playing music and one animatronic’s jumpscare being looped

currently sick as fuck after a quiktrip sandwich so enjoying this video on my bathroom floor

Mark: *Uses a single image and edited it a bit* UhYeah: C Mark: *Does the same thing with Golden Freddy* UhYeah: S! So beautiful! I do agree that the Golden Freddy thumbnail is better, but to say the pros are the previous thumbnail's cons is just confusing to me.

I will definitely be at that stream. I LOVED the charity of ban ban I watched the whole thing.

10:22 BRO THAT FOXY ONE IS LIGIT THE BEST THUMBNAIL EVER MADE, HOW IS IT B TIER

love the Mark style edit for the end screen

It’s impressive how well-made Mark’s thumbnails turn out, which motivates me to make my thumbnails in a similar style.

My respect for you went up from 10/10 to 10/10 when I noticed the Parappa The Rapper music.

I’m only half way through and this already one of my FAVOURITE VIDEOS of yours!

Honestly, the mix of random UCN characters and Funtime Chica is kind of iconic to me. It just fells really, Mark In nature.

Next you should do Dawko’s thumbnails. His new thumbnails are REALLY well edited. I would love to see that.

I love Markiplier's first ever Five Nights at Freddy's video called: Warning Scariest Game In Years! And he is not lying about the scariest game in Years Part, it used to be his third most popular video for a long time but his animal videos such as moo, woof, meow... Are the best ones now with moo just passing the fnaf video recently, woof being at over 150M and with meow being over a whopping 350M

Still can’t believe mark cranks the sharpening all the way up on all these thumbnails 💀

I cannot tell if this is some elaborate April fools joke or a regular video just like the rest, either way good video

2:43 I love it when people really put effort into their Thumbnails, it can really give a vibe, and give Interest to the video, I love the Creativity that people can do with Thumbnails, they can be sooooooooo good If the work is put into it, with Passion~ ❤️

I remember being so scared of the first Fnaf video's thumbnail I avoided his channel for a solid week 💀

"you came here from the recommended didn't you?" no... I actually navigated through your channel to find this one...

Love the end screen being an uhyeah version of a Markiplier end screen!

i have started noticing that uhYeah's character has slowly been turning into the next tumblr sexyman. weird.

These were truly one of the thumbnails of all time

Fantastic edition to the uhyeah lore! Well done!

i don´t know why but the pizza tower music in the background fits so well

If you say that you watched this video without noticing around 10+ extra details in Mark's thumbnailes solely because of uhyeah, don't lie. You know you did.

Didn't expect to get a PhD in thumbnail design and image composition, but here we are

marks first fnaf vid is so nostalgic for me! whenever i play fnaf on call with friends i recite the intro to the best i can

PFFFFFT I cannot believe you actually got a sponsor from morgan and morgan for a fnaf video - this is incredible.

Markiplier is Actually a God at editing

Finally, uhyeah is giving us some quality content. Thank you for this meal.

that subtle audio of his golden freddy jumpscare (i think) from fnaf 1 at the end was slick

Congrats on nearly 400K subscribers, man. As for the video.... That was crazy LOL

NEW UHYEAH VIDEO! LETS FUCKING GO!

13:14 the reason why classic freddy was used was because markiplier didn't want to spoil his design for himself & his views lol.

I love your videos.Keep up the good work my friend

This definitely was a trip down memory lane Markiplier and matpat's how I got in to fnaf in the first place

4:15 Is that THE John Egbert in my Uh Yeah video? Based.

i love this channel sm

I remember when Mark talked about his fnaf thumnails on [DELETED CHANNEL] and how he just took the image and upped the saturation a bit, and I must say for something that took so little effort it worked wonderfully, because the upped saturation made the eyes pop more, so when you saw it in your side vision or glanced over it whilst scrolling it made it look like the thumbnails were staring at you.

ITS LIKE THE OLD MARK OUTRO

21:55 just look at Rockstar Freddy's finger mark what were you thinking

i actually really like the fnaf 3 thumbnail where he shows the bad ending screen. Keep in mind at the time scott was gonna end the series with the third game so that image feels like a proper send off

0:09 HOW TF DID YOU KNOW I'M NOT EVEN JOKING HOW DID YOU DO THAT

i was 15 when fnaf came out and admittedly, i had like no experiences with horror and was terrified of a lot of stuff. my friend told me about fnaf in class one day and i found it really cool! so i went on youtube and marks video popped up, in which the thumbnail freaked me out way more than the game did. it freaked me out SO much that i stopped going on youtube cause i was afraid to see fnaf thumbnails lmao. but i eventually came back and fell in love with the series and i started checking out more horror! i’m still not great with it (still can’t play horror games) but i’ve found horror to be a very interesting genre now :]

Great video man.

Watching this makes me want to rewatch all of Markiplier's FNaF vids again. Good times...

I will never unsee the curser in Markipliers FNaF 1 episode 2 thumbnail.

Love the classic looping jumpscare in the outro.
