The bite of 87 was such a vital part of the series back then. There were countless debates and videos on this topic. People would accuse literally anyone of committing the nibbling of 87 (I still remember how one RUclipsr was seriously saying that Withered Bonnie did it💀) The loss of its significance is the perfect example of Scott's messy writing. Not only was it left unsolved, but with FNaF 4 in the picture, there is a whole new bite, which at the very least lowers the uniqueness of 87 one. Nowadays, the bite of 87 is only remembered because of the meme where Markiplier confuses the bite of 83 with it. What was once so important and interesting is now forgotten and lost among all the bullshit that the modern FNaF lore is. Alas, that's what happens to the story when it isn't planned well.
This comment pretty much sums it up. It used to be a massive point of discussion but because of the lore and the fnaf 4 bite it just turned into a meme. I wish they didn't over complicate the lore
My comment has nothing to do with the bite of 87 itself but, if I'm being honest, looking back now, the bite of 83 was such a stupid event. A child was being bullied by his brother till a prank about kissing Fredbear got him stuck into the animatronic's mouth, causing him to lose part of his brain. In all honesty now, if you told me this was coming straight from The Return to Freddy's or Dormitabis, I'd totally believe you. But being the Bite of 83 really a stupid event or not, I'll always love the OG era of FNAF
As stupid as it was, being shown as an arcade game with weird, muffled ambience as the crying child struggles to get out, building tension until it all gets interrupted by the loud noise of the bite as the poor guy's body ceases all the movement is quite shocking. Oh also, about the dormitabis thing i agree, it really sounds like something out of that game considering all of the edgy things that happened because one character got bullied. But instead of there being some kind of revenge the bully victim just dies and makes everyone feel bad.
@@onioncutter i have to agree with you, the tension was built just the right way to make you feel the impact of seeing a child just losing part of their brain (even more if you consider that we likely do play as said kid during the nights of fnaf 4 and therefore have already consolidated a kind of emotional bond with them). It's more that looking in retrospect now the whole thing sounds goofy. Just like Garvey in Dormitabis killing children for making fun of his skin color
The "WAS IT ME?" buildup in FNAF 4 really made it seem like the bite we saw in game was the Bite of 87, and that the whole game centered around the bite. But then Sister Location essentially confirmed that it wasn't the Bite of 87, with the keypad. So now we don't even know what the text was supposed to mean.
If I remember correctly, you can get lawsuits about animatronics bitting children in Pizzeria Simulator. Which means that these Bites are a common event, and the reason why The Bite of 87 is called that way is because another one happened before.
I think that's a dumb lore point, if bites are common, how does this restaurant stay afloat. While I get criticised on my love for the realism, this is why. The bite of 87 was unique because being the only bite, that was it the animatronics were now glued to the stage. Makes you wonder why that was the nail in the coffin if it had happened before. Also if it took place in hurricane Utah then having one bite ruin the reputation makes sense cause it's not a big town
Imo they should kept the bite of 83 being the actual bite of 87. The idea of bites is kinda stupid(and yes ik about the comercial in Fnaf4 with the written 1983 but it could have simply been the year when Fredbear's Family Dinner was founded and the actions that play during the cutscenes happen in 1987). For me Fredbear's bite will remain the actual 87 bite
the bite of 83 was never intended to be the bite of 87, so it wouldn't be "keeping" it as the bite of 87. it would be retconning it to be the bite of 87.
As the story has moved ever forward (especially by Security Breach), I've looked back in hindsight... The Bite of '87 originally seemed like a plot thread with potential to be unraveled in some sequel (a "Chekhov's Gun"), but, when put in perspective by time, a clear picture emerges: It was just a "Noodle Incident". Zero exposition, sparse details given with zero context, used for a quick laugh-- all telltale signs. Everyone just clung to it because FNaF1 was a mysterious game with scarce details.
I'm pretty sure the whole argument about the 83 date is because that i guess some people don't know how dating a tv show works. It'll keep the original copyright date no matter when you view it.
@@jerakaigamez Fnaf 4 has the most unanswered questions. Like the box thing. It wouldn't surprise me that Scott would hop on the fan bandwagon after everyone's convinced it occurs in 83.
I kinda figured that the day shift position becoming available in the end of FNAF 2 implied the day guard was the bite victim
Yes thats the most common theory

@@jajaleco yeah, i see where you're coming from, makes sense.
Fnaf lore peaked with fnaf 3 imo

it was probably a red herring to make you think about the bite of 87, when the game actually was gonna introduce a new bite
The animatronic who committed the bite of 87 was the fnaf world coffee machine character and the victim was Bob the day shift guard.
Omg no way!
Was that the bite of 87?
yes

Why can't Scott just tell us at this point?

True but for a game theres really no reason for it to specify a date like that unless it was related to the year it took place in.
@@jerakaigamez ambiance is a good reason if any.
With how cryptic scott was at the time, theres no way.

Did you forget that UCN exists?
