love how the last time we physically saw paper buddy was in hell while the other two are still in the land of the living that kinda implies that paper buddy died and he is in hell
@@boanoah6362They could also be a creation of Cassidy. Of course, I'm just speculating, but Cassidy has no reason to be in hell so we can (possibly?) assumed Cassidy went there on their own volition and power, and if they can access William's personal hell at will, then it would be logical that they can also control that environment, creating the other animatronics to torment the purple man. I also say that because I personally don't think it makes any sense for someone to be hallucinating in a metaphysical plane of existence where (I'm assuming) they are simply a spirit that doesn't need to eat or have other restraints brought by the brain.
@@Warmhammernah, i think it's would be even cooler. You just can teleporting anywhere you want and troll your frendoz(or nightguard boi) by appear behind then when they even don't see you.
That can't be that would be so dumb and why wouldn't Scott fix it the human astietc is an entirely different pizzeria we've seen already at the very least as a concept
@@owenmeier it can't be his idea because we have seen fredbears and I love it when people bring up theories with no damn common sense you want my theory ok. then the lemonade and fruit punch clown mini games show a bb with no hat no balloons no sign so what does that leave boy. just b so maybe perhaps it just shows freddy bonnie and the kid that drew it by the way I also love it when people confuse spring bonnie with bonnie scott literally retcon bonnie's color into being blue so you wouldn't make this connection jesus non-existent christ
When the fnaf world teasers were being posted back when I was in middle school I was so stoked that I decided to write Scott an over enthusiastic email. In it I mentioned that "if you're adding characters to the game don't forget the crying child and the paper palls, I think they'd be fun to play!" The next day both characters had been added to the teaser along with I think an endo. It was probably just a coincidence but ever since I've felt personally responsible for the paper pals being a reoccurring character Edit 8/24/24: Oh no. I made the mimic.
The one difference I have with this theory is that I firmly headcanon Paper Buddy escaped the FNAF3 fire and the only reason he’s not in SB and Ruin is because he’s simply too good at teleporting (he was the only one capable of it in FNAF2, so he’s definitely better at it than Paper Bonnie and Paper Freddy, who only learned how to teleport decades later) for Fazbear Ent to catch him and put him in the Pizzaplex.
I think, in a franchise where everything can mean anything, and anything could solve everything, the Paper Pals are just supposed to be that one thing that keeps coming back for no reason with no purpose or relation to anything else. Kinda like Kracko in Kirby, he ALWAYS shows up no matter how unlikely, but he never has any significant role in the story, the Paper Pals are the same, they’re just Always There.
I WAS JUST LOOKING FOR LORE ON THESE GUYS Like, imagine being murdered and then inhabiting some craft supplies for the rest of your afterlife. I'd be livid.
The Paper Pals are 100% the best characters. People have complained about how major lore characters were all killed off, and how 3 of the OG 4 animatronics (not including Golden Freddy) have had major character reworks (except Foxy. He’s still Foxy), and yet the Paper pals have been around since FNaF 2, and other than going through the same Cawthon to Steel Wool visual degrade that most of the old characters went through, they’re still the same Paper Pals (except that time when they weren’t)
SW should have never gotten involved with FNaF outside of Help Wanted, imo. Security Breach reeks of sheer incompetence and overambition. It still baffles me how they made a game so fundamentally broken and unfinished while having almost three years to work on it. It's like the Sonic Boom of the FNaF series. And yeah, they're definitely the best characters lmao.
@@aggrim1 They also literally forgot to make the Hello Neighbor 2 DLC they made actually beatable at launch. I don’t get how they made a great VR game, then a bunch of games ranging from really terrible to pretty good but unplayably broken, then made Ruin, which, while not perfect (you literally can’t see a major easter egg if you missed *any* of the wet floor signs during the daycare section), is still way better than anything since Help Wanted.
I love these guys so much! I can’t believe how different they look in all the Steel Wool fnaf games! ( as someone who made these goobers [ + the silly squad ] IRL, it’s shocking how much they got {wrong?} on these designs.
I’ve always read them as being the 3 main driving forces in the series. The Puppet (see the 3 buttons and lanky limbs), Springtrap (Crooked ears, tear tracts, and in FNAF 3 dark yellow color) and Golden Freddy (yellow eyes originally, moreso symbolic really, but the FNAF 3 version goes full yellow). This is also why in FNAF 3 the Puppets is down, her day is done and she’s no longer able to fight Afton. It’s just Afton and Cassidy now.
FINALLY SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT THESE GUYS!! They were rlly popular at the start of fnaf and now no one even talks about them!! gained a sub! This video is rlly interesting :D
If paper pals had 100 fans I'm one of them If paper pals has 10 fans I'm one of them Even if paper pal only had 1 fan. I'd be that fan. (And Scott too because I'm shocked they lasted this long please keep them)
I think the bonnie one having only one pupil and having tears running down it's face might resemble Shadow Bonnie or be a very abstract version of a springlock failure (dark liquid comes from the face, eyes might be destroyed unevenly, fnaf 2's location seems to come right after Fredbear's Family Diner)
Haven't even started the video, but I love the Paperpals, they were always so interesting to me, and the fact that they're such theory bait and still show up in Security Breach makes me so happy
So happy someone's talking about this. Saw the paperbuddies in the help wanted 2. Think we've been missing something for a while. And yeah they changed Bonnie's to purple from the original black so that has to be a link to shadow Bonnie meaning more than we also thought. Also bc of the movie the smiling paper buddie is 100% balloon boy
I like to believe that paper buddy is the only one with a soul which is why he's the only one who died and appears in ultimate custom night while the other 2 lived on to become in security breach
I do believe that the paper pals originated from the Fredbear restaurant, and due to their smaller stature, the animatronics mistaken them as children.
Can we mention that the paper plate pals are also in help wanted 2 in the pizzeria as well at different sizes depending if you have the mask on or not? After watching this after the release of hw2 I think it’s weird that they are all included in the 3 games (wouldn’t steel wool make different versions like Scott did in pizzeria simulator?) it’s just something to think about
Referring to the Freddy Paper Pal: "It kinda looks like the bear from the original like the... what-like, dog shaped bears and all that from the original but..." - Total Dino, 2022 (Whilst analyzing the Paper Pals)
Everytime any video shows something that moves when you don't see it, it gives me Weeping Angel vibes and I feel the need to never stop looking at it so it won't move
I’d imagine Paper Buddy is supposed to represent a kid, either the one who made them or just in general, given how it doesn’t quite resemble any animatronic and the name just being “Buddy” rather than an actual character’s name
It would be cool if the pals get an explanation that ties a wierd FNAF 2 thing into the Steel Wool era. In general it feels like FNAF 1-3 are left in the background nowadays.
I think that their continued inclusion in the games is a combination of the fact that they help make the game locations look like real places that real children have been too and the fact they are an iconic part of fnaf's visual style at this point, just like the checkered floor and the balloons
i always thought the paper bonnie was withered bonnie the paper freddy was from fnaf 1 and paper buddy a random kid from fredbear's family dinner and he made a paper version of himself.
Fun fact: I accidentally left my "watch later" list autoplaying in my sleep, and this video gave me nightmares 😂👍 Now watching this while awake, I'm glad to hear about paper plate lore, I was always curious about these guys and I had no idea one of them moved in fnaf2!
Has anyone else noticed how the third paper pal in the silly squad from fnaf pizza simulator looks a lot like Mr. Hippo? He's got the same nostrils and tophat!
Paper pals survived fnaf 2 shutdown, fnaf 3 fire, WW2, afton hell, security breach and it's ruined version They are stronger then anyone and even came back more then afton
when you mentioned that only the 2 shadow paper pals were in security breach with no paper buddy to be seen, and the fact that theres a plush of nightmarionne everywhere in SB, i think its confirmation that the paper buddy from fnaf 2 is indeed the puppet
that balloon boy paper pal (or the puppet paper pal resemblance that you showed in 8:33) doesn't resemble neither of those characters, but more like a clown. But all I can say is that paper pal is going to appear in help wanted 2.
Maybe the Paper Pals in Security Breach are supposed to hint towards it being built upon Fredbear's Family Diner? Along with the posters, they represent Fredbear and Springbonnie. Paper Buddy isn't there because the Puppet isn't associated too much with Fredbear's.
The paper pals might have been used in Fredbear Pizzeria restaurant before in the early 80's, where Henry and William were still friends, before the massacre.
