Remember those old times when we thought William used a bear suit to lore his victims in
:O Don’t check out my MCI theory xD
He did that’s what shadow Freddy is
😂😂those days
@@magicman3163bro has NOT heard of spring Bonnie
To lore them?
he saw William kill another 5 children, thinks that you're the killer, and you put a mask on, hoping he gets fooled. I'd be mad too
Fair point, if i saw you kill someone and put a mask on after to trick me I would think you're kind of stupid
imagine how much of these games could be avoided if they didn't mistake you for william all the time
Unfortunate that Michael has an uncanny resemvlance to his dad. And ever since he turned purple, he i would see why even more, both him and his dad later on are just dead bodies walking around, itd be hard not to confuse the two as people and I guess the animations would just assume there's only 1 undead guy lurking around pizza establishments lol
Another? I'm pretty sure there was only ONE MCI...
@@thegreatchaos13Fnaf 2??? Sister location??? All of the animatronics(that aren’t dreams or hallucinations) are dead kids gang.
Foxy is typically associated with Michael and Fredbear is associated with the Crying Child. Maybe that's why they are paired together. Of course, that's retrospective but still.
That’s actually really interesting.. maybe a topic for a future video :)
i actually have a theory thats slightly relates to this, not much tho, i think william based all of the funtimes off of everyone his close friends and family to make them immortal, the reasoning behind this is thinking about the comparisons behind the funtimes, circus baby would be elizibeth because of pigtails, both being his "baby" (she might be the youngest which would explain the baby part a little bit), ballora could be mrs. afton (we dont know much about mrs. afton but with how ballora looks in certain areas that seem like they would be for adults he could have thought of his wife), now heres where the theory actually starts, michael was a huge fan of foxy, he had a foxy mask, would constantly wear it, william could have based funtime foxy off of him intending to make michael foxy, funtime foxy also looking the way it does could be intended to mock michael for what he did or maybe michael liked pink and lipstick, funtime freddy could be cc/evan/whatever his name is (ill refer to him as evan), evan died to fredbear and became him, he also had a fredbear plush, funtime freddy could have been for evan, funtime freddys design also seems like it was made to make a kid more entertained than others b/c of bon bon, however henry was also associated with fredbear so how would william include him in the mix? i think yendo was made for henry because of that connection
@@heeheehaw393you might be on to something dude
@@sb_bacon thx
@@heeheehaw393 The pink and lipstick feels like a joke tho
My personal theory is that he is more aware than the other animatronics, but not to the level of the puppet. In his ucn voice lines, he shows awareness of where he is and what state he is in. His voice lines are fun and charismatic. But he stays in character the whole time. I don't think Frits is aware of the fact he's a ghost possessing an animatronic, or maybe he doesn't want to accept it and stays in character as a coping mechanism
You described exactly what I think.
"foxy=quirky puppet=creepy"
xD
Quirky? Do NOT yiff the fox!
The reason why Foxy and Fredbear are shown together, it's meant to represent Michael and Fredbear during the Bite of 83.
That makes sense
Make sense. Considering we played as Michael in FNAF 1, that's why you can see the word "it's me" on the sign that's outside of the Foxy pirate cove
@@example15_60let him cook
I always felt the reason we die when Foxy attacks us is because the jumpscare causes us to have a heart attack. Like you said he’s clearly not as aggressive and erratic as the others ( especially Chica and Bonnie ), and just slightly enters in the room leaving his head stick out from the corner but literally do nothing else. I feel like it’s the stress and panic of seeing him running through the hallway and arriving without having the time to close the door that causes the heart attack and kills us.
Phone guy calls him the twitchy one, how is he not as erratic and aggressive, if not more? I dunno, but Freddy and Foxy are way more aggressive than Bonnie and Chica imo.
Freddy also pretty much surprise attacks you (since he doesn't attack immediately after he enters your office, and doesn't moan or anything like Bonnie and Chica), so is he also giving you a heart attack?
I just dislike how much people have to overlook in their desire to make the good guy theory work. Especially when we consider how he acts in the TSE novel, Step Closer and FNaF AR. Even in UCN, he doesn't sound even a bit sorry, lol.
Edit: Also, there's just no way they all actually bobble their heads at night guards before they drag them away lmao
Foxy is definitely the most erratic of the bunch, as Phone Guy says he's always been a bit twitchy. But not the most aggressive since Emma Tammi said that's Bonnie
this aint 2014 bro
Y’all the lore is objective at this point don’t dunk him for his own opinion
@@absolutechadd8895

Yeah in UCN the Puppets says stuff like _"The others are under my Protection"_ _"The others are like animals, but I am very aware"_ _"I recognise you, but I'm not afraid of you, not anymore"_
The Puppet thinks...
Exactly :)
matpat is proud of you.
:D Thank you!
They made a restored Foxy for the movie, so I guess he wasn't always a bionic pirate.
This was a pretty good theory. I like how you was able to tie in the fact that foxy and puppet can't be fooled by the mask because of the fact that their more self aware than the others.🦊🤡
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it :)
the mask doesnt work on foxy because his facial recognition system is literally broken.
@@ZlewProductions that wasn't ever stated
@@ZlewProductions Facial recognition isn’t why the Freddy head trick works. The head trick makes the animatronics think the guard is an animatronic, so they leave him alone. Their facial recognition is used to detect predators by referencing a criminal database, which analyzes human faces. So if his facial recognition was broken it wouldn’t affect his ability to be tricked by a mask. Furthermore, none of the withered animatronics have facial recognition (as far as we know). The toys definitely do, and we know they started to fit the withered with new technology but stopped, so we don’t know if they do or don’t use that technology.
phone guy said it tho@@ballisticbiscuit5706
A thing to notate is that it also is mentioned in Fnaf 2 that Foxy seems to have a glitch involving his memory being reset under flashing or strobing lights, which is why he was decommissioned as well as him being creepy unlike the others. They couldnt find what caused the glitch in that game, and it seems to have followed into fnaf 1.
A bit late on this but my theory on why fredbear and foxy are on the same slide on the television is probably because of that foxy is a villian on the show and like others said, foxy is to present michael and crying child/evan presenting as fredbear.
The crying child's real name is Dave (source: the log book)
And that "Go Go Go" he's down that hall in no time lol

'Foxy is by far the most withered of the four-"
*Bonnie shows up*
"Oh-oh ok. Alright"
My interpretation is that Withered Foxy is more self-aware than the others because his endoskeleton appears to be completely intact. The Withered were scrapped for parts to create the Toys. But Foxy was completely redesigned. So it’s possible that Mangle was built from entirely new parts. This would be another thing that Foxy and the Puppet have in common; their souls are still in just one body.
9:03. What i imagine happened is that Bonnie saw foxy out of his cove, so when he went down the hall to check he saw the night guard and killed him before foxy could potentially save him
Bro let it go 😂
@@Kcinthasun ?
I loved this video. And I agree, Foxy is clearly different from the others. He's the only armed animatronic, and I'm not reffering to just his hook. He has notably different, very sharp and big teeth, he also has the speed and strengh to move very quickly to one place to another. The fact he can run, and even more impressively, jump, makes me think he's there not just as a performer, but some kind of security animatronic as well.
If we think about it, Foxy has another curious trait: He's a babysitter, a caregiver. As Mangle's lifestory very clearly states, even with all their sharp parts, the Foxy models can be very careful to the point of handling very little children and taking care of them. Mangle is a prime example, by far the most dangerous, physically, from the Toy line, but never hurt the kids, even after being heavily traumatized by them (God knows no one would blame her). Even Funtime Foxy is not really willing to kill you if you just follow his rules. So, it would make sense for Foxy to feel protective of the kids.
The only other animatronic with a similar trait is the Daycare Atendant, from Security Breach, both cases being the most dangerous animatronic around (even being smaller and thinner, Moon literally knocked Glamrock Freddy with a single hit, and is the only animatronic who has the uncanny hability of finding Gregory anywhere, including inside Freddy's chest), but also can be surprisingly caring and protective of the children (like Sun tried to care and protect Gregory from Moon until he turned off the lights, forcing their transformation).
Foxy seeing the bodies totally adds to this theory. If he really has the caregiver trait, he would be very bothered by it, get very "twitchy", like Phone Guy said (like Sun's anxiety... wait, thinking about it, Foxy has a lot in common with Sun and Moon, even more than Roxy), and would totally try to make sure it never happens again.
There is even a little detail on the movie that kind of adds to our points... There is a moment where William is ready to get to Abby, but Foxy very clearly puts himself between her and the murderer, ready to protect her. No other animatronic ever acted to physically fight or disobeyed William's direct orders, until that. But Foxy did. And like he wanted to do in Run Run Foxy, he protected a child from William. Personally, I see that scene as Foxy finally winning that minigame we all wanted so much for him to win.
PS: Sorry for any grammatical errors, English isn't my most used language
This feels like the good guy theory but smaller
Imo Bonnie is also different from Freddy and Chica, he's a lot more active and very oftenly goes to random places that are across the entire building, seemingly teleporting all over the place, he also has more easter eggs, like him staring straight into the camera in parts and service or appearing on screen during the Golden Freddy hallucination
I love this. It makes me wonder how The DCA would interact with/befriend Foxy. As little as I know, since I’ve never been able to play these games, I don’t think they ever met each other. Sure, there’s evidence of Foxy in the Pizzaplex series, but that doesn’t mean they ever interacted.
I wish they could’ve, Sun and Moon needed a friend.
Edit: I forgot to add that another similarity they share is weakness to lights. Well, in Moon’s case. I’m not sure if that was intentional, or just a carried-on trait, since Monty is kinda the same way. Hence, the sunglasses he wears.
So maybe the light sensitivity *did* eventually pass down
I figured the same thing.
Foxy posters and stuff apear on the daycare area all the way to the teatre, wich could be use on that similarites he has with the daycare atendant
Foxy:"I was the last, I have seen everything"
“I’ve seen about 50% of everything”
I LOVE THIS THEORY! but....... I think phone guy said that Foxy wasn't tricked by the mask because the face recognition was not installed.
I personally disagree. We don’t hear if Withered Foxy has facial recognition or not, but either way we know that the purpose of facial recognition is for identifying predators using a criminal database. The Freddy mask trick works because the animatronics see the guard as an animatronic so they leave him alone, so the facial recognition shouldn’t affect the mask trick.
@@bonswootch Ok ya that seems like a good point!
@@bonswootch Facial recognition wouldn't work if the persons face is covered by a Freddy mask, no? Plus, I'm pretty sure that one line was Scott's way of giving the Foxy game mechanic an in-universe explanation
this is so clever. especially how you pointed out the similarities between the puppet and foxy. that really made me think!
I’m glad you found it interesting! :)
3:00
Clearly Foxy's original name was "Friends." That's how they got the name for the show.
For me, the reason why the freddy head doesn't work on withered foxy is actually explained by the phone guy
He states that the facial recognition programming the Toy Animatronics use were intially retrofitted onto the older animatronics, but they stopped because they were "too ugly" so my guess is they stopped at Foxy, which explains why the freddy head works on the other withered animatronics, and not Foxy
this guy is saying that withered animatronics are the same as the fnaf1 animatronics, dont even try explaining this to him.
@@ZlewProductions Aren’t they?
@@ZlewProductionsthey literally are tho
@@ZlewProductions FNaF 1 & 2 strongly imply that they are the same animatronics. The only evidence I’ve heard against this is that they look different, which is much less damning than the several sources such as Phone Guy and Fazbear Entertainment’s CEO implying that they are the same.
Facial recognition is for identifying predators, not other animatronics. The Freddy head trick works because the animatronics think the guard is an animatronic, so they don’t try to stuff him into a suit, whereas the facial recognition is tied to a criminal database, so it wouldn’t affect the animatronic’s ability to be fooled by a mask.
They put foxy and fredbear together to reference Michael and The crying child
In my opinion
That’s a really good point! :)
I like how the thumbnail is a red herring. You think it's about Foxy, but if you look in the top left corner, you can see the Marionette.
2:14 the reason i think Fredbear and Foxy share a slide in the tv is to alude to the Foxybro and Cryingchild situation
Very good video and theory, maybe isnt the case like this in Scott's original design but it does make a lot of sense.
Thanks! I’m glad you found the theory interesting :)
I feel like this theory only works if without the knowledge of foxy stuffing you in fnaf 1
Some people who believe in the Foxy is a good guy theory imagine that the guard d*es to a heart attack rather than actually being k*lled by Foxy. In this case, any of the animatronics could stuff the guard into a suit, so I think the theory still has strength :)
It could be that Fritz is the oldest child who was murdered. He was probably the kid who was either 9 or 10 while the others were more likely 7 or 8, possibly 6.
He probably dashes and leans into the office to check on the player. He wants to see if you are the purple guy before giving the go ahead to the others (I know that you can be killed on Night 1 by the others, but usually it is the easiest night). Fritz is the default parent of the others. He's the "Big Kid," the other three will look up to.
Dude you're really smart honestly. I've been away from fnaf but I really like this
I really liked this one. Some other connections between Foxy and the Puppet are that both are hidden inside something (foxy in pirate's cove and the puppet in the box), both only kill you if you neglect doing something (checking cams or winding the music box) and both kinda have a connection with music. Foxy has his humming sound and the puppet the music box. One thing I might disagree with is Foxy being considered scary because he is withered, I think its his head that makes him scary since he has an eyepatch and pointy teeth. I feel like thats why Crying child has the head off the foxy toy. This also works because Michael uses the foxy head to scare Crying child, the only problem with this is that the foxy head Mike uses doesn't have an eyepatch, but that could be a design choice honestly. It's probably easier to see from inside that way.
Foxy has always been my favorite
I think a lot of people agree :)
bro thinks hes phone guy
@@ender-tl9ldor Michael Afton. Or Alec from Lonely Freddy.
Same!
Same
I saw theory on reddit where it stated that the reason the withereds can't recognise the player is because the technicians tried to put the toy animatronics technology like their face recognition camaras and the reason why foxy could see the guard even with the mask its because he wasn't given the new technology and therfore instead made him smarter but weaker you could just flash him with a flashlight. Another theory is that the unwithereds were at some point blinded by the light, but since they gave them the new technology, instead they would get confused, and the face recognition device wouldn't work with the freddy mask on
I love your videos! They remind me so much of early fnaf theory videos from 2015
:D I’m glad you like them :)
The reason Foxy kills you is because he goes in to check on you then sees your outfit and (most likely) face very closely matches the killer, so he kills you.
I think Foxy is out of order during FNAF 1 because Mangle did the Bite of ‘87 and Mangle = Toy Foxy.
That could be. Wouldn’t they want to remove him all together in that case? Like how Fredbear/Spring Bonnie were retired after being involved in the MCI. Just my theory :)
I also find it quite likely that golden Freddy and Bonnie are aware in a different way. A sadistic way. Because both of them very much have the ability to just enter your office and kill you whether the doors are closed or not. They can both teleport, and neither of them are controlled by time. (Yes thats cannon)
So yeah they both choose not to just go in there and kill you because they just want to play.
0:22 you have two 5s up there my boy
I would be pretty pissed too if i thought I saw the guy who killed my audience who were clearly loving it
One headcanon I have is that Foxy was originally meant to be an antagonist of sorts to the main Fazbear crew. Like maybe he would pop out and "crash" birthday parties or something. That could be another reason why kids found him scary
Foxy is the most intelligent animatronic. He runs at the door, doesn’t fall for the mask, hides in the closet, etc
I thought the mci happened in 1985 as 1983s event is the bite of 83
Checkout my last video, The Truth about the MCI :)
I’m not sure when the mci happens but people think 1985 because of Fazbear’s frights: in to the pit
@@Purplemans88 I mentioned that in my MCI video, but a lot of people don’t think the books are canon to the games. In the video I’m talking about, I used evidence from the games to come up with the most reasonable date for the MCI :)
@@bonswootchId say that makes sense but the books DO have canon parts for the games whether people like it or not, it was even said the books are canon but not 1:1 with The games, but we still need to take them into account when solving things
@@bonswootch every time we've been given a date for the mci it's 1985
in Foxy's last walk into the cove in Go, Go, Go I think maybe those are the spirits going to where they are they are used to going for the last few days (Yes, I believe they are different days) rather then their actual bodies. Scott DID use the same/similar sprites for living kids as dead ones in the first three games so yeah.
Foxy will always be the most badass animatronic of all time
Good video.
This is a pretty solid theory and I can see this being legit.
Keep it up.
Thanks so much! I appreciate all of the support! :)
great video, what you said about Foxy and the Puppet being the only ones to see their corpses pre possession is reallt interesting and the best piece of evidence for this theory.
after thinking a bit, the most meaning i can get out of Foxy and Fredbear being on screen at the same time is Michael and Crying child. when thinking about the animatronics only though for why he would share the spotlight with fredbear, i think it may be like you said, that he may be the only new character at that point.
Any theory that takes FGGG literally is automatically invalidated in my eyes until the theorist can answer one of these two questions:
1. Why are the MCI kids’ bodies just out in the open?
2. If they’re not, how did Foxy go to the safe room?
i just realized that foxy in the commercial isn't withered at all and i think is the only time we see him un-withered.. as far as I'm aware.
Damn this theory is good I think I completely agree including your last theory because it fits in the lore perfectly good job 👍
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoy and agree! :)
I do think a few other things on top of Foxy being semi aware. Firstly, it is pretty obvious that Golden Freddy is also aware, albeit usually immobile by choice or just because of the suit mode or a bit of both. Having two souls within, with one more vengeful than all the others is at least proof that Cassidy became aware of it all by UCN. The Puppet is a no brainer, and Foxy at least seems to sort of be more aware in the first two games, and is honestly the hardest to not get jumpscared by in the third game due to how he is structured. Fnaf 4 is basically a reconstruction of trauma for either Mike or Cryig Child/Evan/whoever he winds up being named. Funtime Foxy ironically seems one of the least aware of the Funtimes, or at least isn't given any reason to be aware.
But I think the MCI are aware of different things, vaguely, and depending on which continuity you are talking about. Susie remembers her family and stays with them a certain amount of time every day for roughly a year, and explains her family's emotions as colors and is at least partly aware that something happened but not entirely, yet still wants closure. Jeremy is clearly the most aggressive and pursues nightguards the fastest in most of the early game's nights. So he at least is spatially aware of when there is someone else, so Jeremy is mildly able to sense presences. Freddy is shown to know to hide and is very good at it during the nights. Plus in one of the cut stories of Fazbear Frights he can tell the difference between an armed and unarmed person and reacts accordingly to the base instincts of fear associated with Gabriel's death. And it seems at least that a small part of each original MCI kid's soul is put into the Toys from the salvages even if they get more possessed if you count the Dead kids incident as it's own thing and the potential agony, mimicked programming, and extra soul infusion of the second batch of dead children. Qhich I would assume is less stabke than even the Withereds by the end considering the Bite of 87 must have involved a Toy model for them to be the ones scrapped. Baby obviously is also very aware, and in my mind, weirdly enough, Baby the program wasn't lying in terms of her reaction towards the only day she was on stage, and her unknowingly being programmed to kill at least at the time. But I think the really malicious one is Elizabeth in Sister Location, considering I believe you remove the Program of Baby who does say she views the stuff inside her broken and bad, be it the killer claw or little girl angry and conflicted about her father while loving him as much as hating him for what happened. Hence why Baby loses patience in Night 4 out of seemingly nowhere. Elizabeth is in control. While when Baby was in control, she was patient, she expressed dislike of her being, explained her history, explained her pretending to not be control shocked, and told the truth for every night until Night 4. Elizabeth being in control would show she knows that she knows whoever she is trying to lure on Ennard night, but that she also thinks it is William instead of Micheal and so leaves him a walking corpse on purpose. So she obviously has some beef with her dad even if she crawls back to him by FNAF 6 because the rest of Ennard kicked her out and left her to suffer, which I don't understand why they would have reason to argue and split if the Baby program was in charge instead of Elizabeth considering how in sync their programming was meant to be. So it's quite obvious to me that Baby's program removed from the endo used in Ennard and eventually Scrap Baby.
Obviously William is aware of Micheal and himself during the death lines in FNAF 6, being much more involved in the death of Micheal in dialogue than any random guard. Killing a random guard wouldn't be fitting for William because what guards jas he killed in the games? It is already canon in every early game until FNAF 6's ending that the guard, who is presumably Micheal except Jeremy Fitzgerald, survives every night. It makes more sense that his final kid would die by his hand to him in a noncanon early death screen in FNAF 6 considering hiw every kid died from animatronics beforehand.
Now for a few extra things like with Help Wanted 1, Security Breach, Ruin, and Help Wanted 2, is that Glitchtrap killing the VR Jeremy in a fitting way to Jeremy MCI as Bonnie and Jeremy Fitzgerald with head trauma definitely is interesting because it shows that it mimicks the past while also having trouble taking over adults. Vanessa isn't fully in his grip from the HW2 Cnady Cadet story, so a headcanon I adopted from other RUclipsrs is that Jeremy might be Gregory's dad, so Gregory becoming Patient 46 and being way more under Glitchtrap's control makes sense of why it was him to begin with. Also makes sense if Jeremy (or maybe any other Fazbear Employee that dies in this era) is his only family that Gregory can't contact home or anything in the bad ending. Also Gregory leading Vanessa deeper under Glitchtrap's control over the therapy tapes and yet being normal in security breach might mean he is no longer useful to the mimic/Glitchtrap AI. Then, as Cassie's dad dies somehow while Freeing Vanessa the rest of the way after Gregory partially did so, is stuffed into Mapbot, and Cassie is left without a parent, too, then the Mimic AI of the Pizzaplex fed Afton's greatest hits in data specifically needs a new vessel in Cassie. Cassie's dad, meanwhile, seems to be very much less aware if his situation for most of HW2, and in the bad Ending (regardless if the good and bad endings are seperate timelines or both canon), he loses all his agency as a tool to infect Cassie his daughter. Plis he is no doubt Bonnie Bro, so now at least two confirmed people from the 4 bullies are dead. I do wonder if either Jeremy from FNAF 2 or Help wanted are a third bully, or if they are both the same or Cassie's dad specifically. We know HW Jeremy definitely died, but we also know Cassie's dad is already dead because his hands never stop looking digital when he takes off his mask midgame. Also Cassie's Dad probably made MXES, too, or is him if some people's idea of him escaping Map Bot are not just conjecture with even more sparse evidence than a lot of this already has.
@SantiagoMassacesi The Puppet is a no brainer for being very aware.
Honestly the only reason I can think of for why Foxy is out of order in Fnaf 1 is because much like movie Foxy irl, his arm caught on fire due to a servo overheating.
If the guard is Mike in the game wouldn’t Foxy sticking his head in the office and seeing ‘William’ prompt a response?
I think foxy being on the same slide as fredbear makes alot of sense cause like ypu said all the other charges were already established and fredbear being the most popular and foxy being a new character fredbear can simply be introducing boxing into the band.
I can imagine Foxy seeing this video in a JGems video and think "dang dude how did you know?!"
The reason Foxy is torn up is because Scott was on a car trip while modelling him.
*I think that out of the core 4, Freddy is the most aware & intelligent. He is clearly closer with the Puppet than any of her other "children" are, he's her main helper and the one she chooses to reactivate in FNaF 2's SAVETHEM minigame, asking Freddy to help her stop the Purple Guy.*
*Freddy is the only one who knows about all the security cameras and knows to actively hide in the shadows to avoid being seen. He's the only one who studies the security guard's strategy and knows to stall him at the door to drain his power. He's also the only one clever enough to use Gabriel-- his ghost-- to trick his victims and lure them in, whether it's Max or Abby. His voicelines in FNAF AR also suggest a higher level of intelligence than Foxy, as Foxy simply taunts and jokes around with his victim, whereas Freddy's cryptic voicelines suggests he is fully aware of his predicament and means well.*
one thing I really like about this theory is how foxy likely saw his own body. in one of the more recent books its explained that souls that know where their bodies are become more aware. so circus baby, puppet, and foxy would all share that. in some ways its weird for william to show the bodies to foxy, especially since they could be seen by parents that way, but it seems like something he would do, as a sick joke. he had the kids in the suits, so everyone would spend all day looking at bodies and not even notice. i feel like he did that as a sick joke, and him taunting foxy is just the same.
in foxys jump scare the scream doesnt stop like the others, it slowly trails off. it reminds me of how Elizabeth explains her first day on stage, not fully understanding anything but not wanting to kill. i just immage poor foxy trying to run in and scare the kids a little (in a fun way), he goes in yelling ahoy or someone then sees what happened 😢 I feel like that could happen even without being haunted because his program wouldn't really know what to do about that. the theory that foxy in fnaf one accidently gives you a heart attack also kinda supports this, he runs in "hey are you okay?!" then probably gets all upset with himself about seing you died.
What i really want to know is that, if this is all correct, why does his first game seems to know you arent william, while the second game he seems to bite your head open and gouge your eye out (in the jumpscare) ? ive thought that games 1-6 were played by mike, even his own sister couldnt tell mike from his dad so how does foxy? this is a bit horrible but what if she knows you arent william, except she pretends not to because she wants someone to harrass anyways? she still has some kind of love for her dad even if she is conflicted about it, so what if she only pretended mike was will? mike definitely was okay with bullying c.c. so maybe Elizabeth got bullied as well, or she just wants to avenge him, and thats why she pretends mike is will. he likely hates his dad and hates being mistsken for his dad, if his own sister, who is Much more aware than the others cant recognize him, he would feel terrible! and she probably knows that. but if she doesn't, then seriously how can FOXY, a mostly random robot tell the difference?
6:52 start of realization
Do you think that maybe Foxy was put out of order, because he was the last animatronic to see the deceased kids? It’s just a thought

Thanks so much! :D Conincidentally, I did mention the Power Rangers early in the video xD I’m glad you liked the video!
@@bonswootch that’s why it got recommended and yeah, it was well reasoned and explained even if it isn’t fully true as theories tend to tend up being, I think the evidence used is interesting as some might think it’s primitive but it still has new perspectives to extract
i always thought his exposed legs just made him more pirate like, as if he had metal peg legs
yo, did yall ever noticed that foxy has the hook on his left arm on the fredbear and friends commercial
I would hardly call foxy passive. He’s an asshole!
Pass-hole? But nah, he just crazy
I think you deserve more subs, and now I helped you with it.
Thanks for the content. You did also a great job on this one, I think when you keep making videos the way you're doing it right now you'll get bigger eventually. As a video Suggestion I would like to see your theory about Scott getting Nightmares by Bonnie, since no one did that before, or you'll do a Springtrap / William Afton theory to connect your Videos into one.
That’s a great idea! I will definitely keep that in mind :) Thanks for all of the kind words and support, I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos :D
I like how half of fnafs mysteries and inconsistencies can be explained by “Fazbear is a shitty company”
I think you’re correct on everything but one thing. His jump scare may be different, but I don’t think it’s a pointer to his morality. Foxy ain’t a good guy. In the book, “The Week Before,” which is a canonical series of events that happens a week before the first game, Foxy is actually one of most violent, even getting creative with his kills.
In one of the death endings, he kills Ralph/you/PhoneGuy with a screwdriver.
Great theory!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it :)
i think this is actually prob closes we get to the answer great theory good job on it lowkey believe it
Thank you :D I’m glad you like it :)
Here before it goes viral🎉
:D Thanks for being here! :)
2:59 My personal opinion is that if you think about it in help wanted foxy dosnt show a appearance in the help wanted meet the band song and he has own little stage snd if we bring the dots foxy is his own little character cuz foxy ain’t part of the band he is own little franchise like he has own unique shows and I personally think fred bear shared the same “My own show” like foxy so basically foxy is not part of the band but his own little show with his own stage and unique songs kinda like a other option if the children don’t bond it just get bored with the 3 main ones they can sing and dance have fun with our beloved foxy the pirate fox so I think the ad was just showing unique characters with their own side shoes or scott just couldn’t be bothered and just added fred bear with foxy to save some time
Minor point but mangle also doesn’t get fooled by the mask, though only in short range, and mangle would also have seen their body
That’s a good point! :)
@@bonswootch Maybe its just like a thing with the foxies, like mangle is certainly more aware (probably more than what they want to be) given their voicelines in AR, and I'm pretty sure that Roxy on some level knows that if she isn't seen as popular she's at risk of being destroyed by fazbear ent.
@@thisnameanothername2156isent mangle the most fooled by the mask in gameplay from fnaf 2?
@@mikesavard2144 they are fooled when they are in the vent, however when they get in the office the mask cannot save you
@@thisnameanothername2156 well yeah bc she know since she scanned you she know there a target infront of her but the thing is i think in gameplay if you time it correctly you coudl just wear the mask for 0.1 second then she gone if im wrong i got that thought bc in a roblox game i play rarely mangle would attack but as long as when she would leave you had the mask on she woudl be fooled dosent care if it took 10 year to to stop attacking as long as you have it when she leave she is gone
Edit:i dont have a pc so i dont want to pay money for any fnaf game just for me to suffer bc console on fnaf SUCK

@@starmaster488lol9 Thank you! I’m glad you liked it :D
I'd love to see a truth about freddy bonnie and chica videos
I will definitely keep that in mind! :)
Fredbear causes bite of 83 foxy caused bite 87 that’s why they are together in the cartoon
In my own theory i think the reason foxy is always running is to see william before he can put on the suit
Maybe it is like ozwald and fritz saw the mci before unfortunately joining them. Plus, he probably didnt get that facial recognition software they also tried upgrading the classics with.
For fredbear and friends, i think its crying child and his friends (no springbonnie) but they all could've been at fredbear's or fredbear at the first freddy's
The fnaf 1 location is fredbears family diner, hence the spring bonnie suit being there
SO wait, Foxy is the most self-aware of the OG animatronics, but wait are the other animatronics scared of foxy? Case in point, I don't have one but you may think of one reason why.
I swear to god if you say ''Foxy's Go-Go-Go'' one more time...
Remember when we all DIDNT have a face, mask, nor name to put on purple guy?
id like to make a correction during the 3 minute mark you state that the mci happened during 1983 this is unlikely because the bite of 83 happened if purple guy was already killing kids the place would likely be shutdown and the kids wre hinted to be stuff inside the suits which wouldnt be able to if it were to happpend in 1983 because the springlock suits are actively worn
I just started wondering something... Whats the in-lore reason the animatronics have a second set of teeth on their endoskeleton? and why aren't the teeth made of plastic
Only constructive feedback, i have seen quite a few of your videos, i like your theories and your voice is very smooth. But i really think you should consider, either talking slower or make some small pauses between your sentences, or both.
With theories people should be able to think for just half a second before getting new information, but there are no breaks at all.
Just a thing to consider. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, I will definitely consider this :) Thanks for watching the videos and caring enough to offer feedback!
@@bonswootch No problem, i hope you continue to grow :) Tbh i haven't commented on a video in 10 years, but i couldn't help myself, because i like your videos.
@@maltherasmussen6773 Thanks, I’m glad you did :)
Is Foxy an old fredbear Animatronic? I don't think we ever see Fredbear and Fox at the same time in the same game.
I don't think it's possible for the MCI to take place in 1983, because Freddy's wouldn't have enough time to gain popularity as a Restaurant and I don't think William would want to murder right after the 1983 Bite because it would be too obvious it would be him
Regarding the popularity-I think that Fredbear’s Family Diner was already popular and the show Fredbear & Friends gave the Freddy’s animatronics popularity before Freddy’s opened, making it an instant hit. Regarding William k*lling as soon as it opens- that’s exactly what he does at the 1987 location so I think it’s very possible he did the same at the 1983 one. That is explained in my MCI video if you haven’t seen it :)
@@bonswootch I personally think the MCI would have taken place either in 85 or 86, sometime way after 83
@@michaelbenitez539 What is your evidence?
@@bonswootchregarding your last point: William killing as soon as the older models’ restaurant opens and him killing as soon as the 87 restaurant opens are two different situations.
In the 1983 situation, it would have been so close to the Bite that it would have logically made no sense for him to kill; as it would have been obvious it was him.
In the 1987 situation, it has been four years since the Bite of 83, so William had much more leeway to kill as soon as the restaurant opens.
I think the most logical date for the original MCI is either 1985 or 1986, as they have decent gaps to the Bite of 83 so it’s not obvious it was William.
@@thekeynotex Your evidence is based off of assumptions, assuming that William wouldn’t k*ll in 1983 because it would be too obvious. But, when have we known William to be cautious? I’m using his history and behavior to explain why he most likely k*lled early in the restaurant’s history, which is backed by the newspapers telling us that the incident happened many years ago. Plus, why would it be obvious it was William? I just don’t think that theory is as strong as the evidence supporting MCI83.
Scott confirmed Mangle does not have a gender.
Perhaps the reason that Phone Guy likes Foxy over the Marionette is that Foxy has more of a personal connection to Phone Guy.
It really could be as simple as the fact that Foxy has always kinda been the ‘set aside’ member of the band (something to empathize with), and he’s a fox. Meanwhile, the Marionette is a… Marionette - which a lot of people tend to find creepy in design. It’s also more humanoid which probably makes it more threatening to a human. He falls into the uncanny valley moreso than Foxy.
I think Foxy and Fredbear were on the same slide to symbolise Micheal and the crying child
he’s just like me
I also have a theory regarding withered foxy and the bite of 87.
Can you cover how Bonnie terrified Scott Cawthon?
Hey! That’s actually a really interesting and unique idea! I’ll definitely look into that, thanks for the suggestion :D
@bonswootch Anytime, I love the effort and structure you put into your work and research. Glad I found your channel
@@callsignphantom117 Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoy the videos and I’m happy to have you in the community :)
It’s funny to me how they thought foxy was scary, and the way they made him more friendly with Mangle was making him white and pink. Like he was red = he was scary?😂
I know the video outlined more reasons why he was scary, but still I think the recolor is funny
foxy is so underrated in 2024
I think foxy is shown by Fred Bear to represent the crying child and micheal since cc did end up yk dying and possessing fredbear and micheal wore a foxy mask to scare him
I don't think Foxy is withered in Go Go Go I think it's just that Foxy is designed to look like he has shorts on.
His arm and legs are gray, what do you make of that?
@@bonswootch In Foxy Go Go Go the grey on his arm is just his hook and they grey legs are supposed to just be his legs and the brown above it is supposed to be shorts. The legs and feet are designed to be grey it’s not withering.
@@cjperkinsboy1293 I disagree, I don’t think his legs were meant to be gray. For example, Rockstar Foxy had red legs like the rest of his fur, which is how I imagine Withered Foxy would look without withering.
@@cjperkinsboy1293the FNaF movie, his unwithered state is shown, and UNWITHERED FOXY'S LEGS ARE LITERALLY RED🟥

the real question is why is he holding the hook in his left hand
