@@ItzJbjumpmannExactly, It's a joke about how he ruined our childhoods by showing us the dark, creepy, terrifying and shocking side of the seemingly innocent games we played every day
Its kinda ashame how the trend of the internet shifted from having intros to losing them, but i suppose that viewing retentions and trends influenced it, but hey thats just a theory
I'd say if you want to have an intro to survive on the internet, go the Game Grumps style and be 5 seconds. If you want longer, you have to be extremely confident in it like Game Theory and AVGN
I remember the first game theory I ever watched. It was a dark rainy night in Seattle and my dad was driving me to their house after picking me up. They asked me, “you wanna watch Game Theory?” And before I knew what the hell they were talking about, my dad pulled out their phone, connected it to the car speaker via Bluetooth, and turned on “Toad’s DEADLY Secret in Super Mario!,” the one about the Toad fungus that was infecting the Mushroom Kingdom. A sprite of Mario from the original Super Mario Bros. ran across a red background with a bunch of familiar video game console logos plastered on it, set to this snazzy 8-Bit music. Mario jumped off screen, landing on a logo that proudly declared “Game Theory, The Smartest Show in Gaming!” And just when I thought the vibes couldn’t be anymore hype, a man’s voice boomed from the speakers: “HELLO INTERNET, WELCOME TO GAME THEORY!!” And in that moment, my life changed forever.
I wish people knew how to make Intros like this, this is something that only Matpat seemed to be good at, and boy NO ONE I have seen has replicated something like this
I've known of his since the 6th intro era and I started watching him frequently at the 7th intro era. Now here I am, all these years later. I'm going to miss matpat. I'm sure we will all miss him.
I used to watch so much old film theory and I didn’t know how much I enjoyed listening to the intros until they were gone. Also, the 7th intro was the best by far.
why do youtubers not do actual intros and title cards anymore? it makes a unique feel for each channel rather than just hearing "TODAY WE/I" or "I JUST" every one does it and its basic af
@@zaredluna2456 my guess is that exposure to tiktok and these types of channels at such a young age has made this generations attension span so small they cant sit through an intro before skipping video (ive actually seen kids skip videos when my sister babysits in 2 seconds because someone wasnt loud or vibrant enough within the first 2 seconds) also its probably the reason that super popular yet lets be honest trash game genshin impact has such a big following of kids because there are constant color flashes and the characters use their idle dialogue every 2 seconds
@@MusuemBucket wow a whole 5-10 seconds is "filler" also the intros make youtubers less boring it gives their channels personality now i can hardly tell 7 different youtubers apart because they all talk the same use the same soundboard for their bad edits and either have a backwards cap or stupid hair
Watching this after the last episode aired and its so nostalgic. I started when intro 3 started and 7th is when i stopped following so i never seen 8th and the later.
His first videos had no title music, he just chose a random melody fitting to the topic. So the first two openings are really just randomly "Back in Time" and the Power Rangers-Opening (the real difference being in the visuals here) Starting with the third Opening, he used Science Blaster as his theme music, first the original, than the Remix.
There are two you are missing in some of the FNAF episodes there is a special intro based on the one in use at that time there is one of the third for the fnaf 4 bite video one of the fifth for like 4 videos before that. Not blaming you for not seeing them considering their rarity.
I love how the “hello internet welcome to game theory!” Became more and more dramatic for each intro
WHALKHOM THO GHAEME THHHEORIE 👴
that's called confidence
@@TheSpiniaYou're right, and it's awesome
True dat true dat
Yeah lmao.
I love that you can hear him getting more confident and the quality getting better.
140 LIKES AND NI COMMENTS!? well I’m here to fix it :)

And the subtitle too.
"Smartest show in gaming" is a bit for me
“Ruining your childhood since 2011” is cos funny
Went from "A show about theories - and games" to "ruining your childhood since 2011"
Amazing
*Running
No?
@@ItzJbjumpmann no its ruining
@@AllyssaSophie if it was ruining your childhood that meant he ruined your childhood

"Ruining your childhood since 2011" More like ruling our childhood since 2011..
Both

🤣 but yeah you hit the nail on the head.
A RUclips theory
thats confirmed, actually :( which sucks tbh
A GAME THEO-
We sooo need a Style Theory intro before Matpat leaves!
Yeah
I know
welp he left but still he is in gt live

1:44 This Is My Favorite Intro Of Game Theory
8th Too 2:08
Same

this is bringing back memories of how hype that change between the 6th and 7th intros was
The "Ah..thats the stuff" hits different with all back to back now 😂
So what I'm getting is the Film Theory intro is perfect because it hasn't been changed once.
No, it's just not used anymore
It didn't change once until they stopped doing full intros altogether
I wish people knew how to make Intros like this, this is something that only Matpat seemed to be good at, and boy NO ONE I have seen has replicated something like this
The 7th intro is the holy grail in my opinion
Facts, will always be my fav.
Agreed tbh
Too true
YUUP
True
God, so much nostalgia in this video. I came in sometime around intro 3 I think, but I'm in love with Ryder's guitar work in 7 and onward
6th one was obviously the best and most clean
I would have agreed before the tenth came out, but the tenth is like an even more enhanced version of the sixth.
I like the ones with the guitar more but they are both so good
@@edgeribblesame
7th and 8th intros are what most of us consider OG, though I think musically Food Theory is the best
I would say 6th or 7th, which is when MatPat's in his peak
Huh, even tough i watched since the Third Intro Days I always considered the 5th to be the OG - the first Red one
5 and 6 are what I call og.
@@N3rdZon3the seventh is the first one with red
That's maroon@@N3rdZon3
I love how in the seventh intro the box from FNAF opens up and reveals the game theory logo.
1:38 here begins the iconic version of "Hello internet, welcome to Game Theory!"
0:56 for me this was the beast
i like how it went from "The Smartest Show In Gaming" to "Ruining your childhood since 2011"
hey, the latter is much more accurate, but he built it from the ruins and his own materiel
the 5th into’s the most nostalgic to me
nice compilation. High quality and simple. i like it
i like that the colours the film theory intro was doing in 4 3 2. 1 represents all the channels colours
I NEVER NOTICED THAT
@@simplyjeff8761we have same subscribers
I've known of his since the 6th intro era and I started watching him frequently at the 7th intro era. Now here I am, all these years later. I'm going to miss matpat. I'm sure we will all miss him.
1:19 This was the best intro
True
The Seventh Intro is by far the best and most iconic one
I can’t stop humming it
It is nice to see all the colors filled in the logo.
I almost cried from the nostalgia.. this is truly amazing
Holy hell... This gave me emotions I've never felt before...
my all time favorite is the 7th intro, i’ve watched him ever since 2017 (i was 7)
I used to watch so much old film theory and I didn’t know how much I enjoyed listening to the intros until they were gone. Also, the 7th intro was the best by far.
Eighth intro is GREAT!
The 3d rotating 8-bit Mario is perfection
2:08 my favorite intro
I agree
When he filled in the 4th quadrant as blue that became my favorite personally
Imo 2:31 is better because it has all 4 channels represented
@@Worthy_Edge same with ne
@@Worthy_Edge that one is my second favorite
3:50
i just noticed (after 4 years of watching) that this sounds awfully simmilar to the Naruto OP Silhouette
Finally someone made a better intro history than anyone else
Nice compilation, you're underrated!
"Ruining your childhood since 2011"
The slogan we all need
these is just a good way to show how he have come untill he finally retaird from youtube,thanks matpat for hes tribute...
I love the third intro as it’s simple to make and very nostalgia
1:43 this was the one that I remember the most and as the best
9th Intro 🩵🩵🩵
1:42 the best intro that game theory has ever seen, or listened to, the others get too cool somehow
i love these intros idk he stopped doing them rescently
And he started doing them again because it’s his last time hosting
@@backdoorideas ik but he stopped them for quite some time
@@samuelramirez4985 yeah I know he stopped for quite some time but as I said responding to you, he started doing them again because he’s leaving
@@backdoorideas and i said ik at the start
It's the nature of the internet now
Most will just click off the video since attention span is decreasing fast
You can take the game out of a theory, but you cant take a theory out of a game, and that's just a theory, a GAME THEORY
0:12 why is it the power rangers theme lol
the food theory with the portal cake at the end is my favorite part
Bro i got goosebumps while listening to the 3rd intro
the seventh intro was my childhood
R.I.P. Intros in Game/Film/Food/Style Theory
Eu sinto saldade desse tipo de canal cara, com intro e tal, foi esse tipo de canal que mais marcou minha infância, sinto saldade disso.
the 7th intro and the first GTLive intro the best
why do youtubers not do actual intros and title cards anymore?
it makes a unique feel for each channel rather than just hearing
"TODAY WE/I" or "I JUST"
every one does it and its basic af
My guess is its seen as corny as hell to do it these days and so people just resort to what you said and being obnoxiously loud about it too

I heard so much people hate on intros and it’s like filler, but I liked them. I preferred over just nothingness. Like I thought I was the only one
@@MusuemBucket wow a whole 5-10 seconds is "filler" also the intros make youtubers less boring it gives their channels personality now i can hardly tell 7 different youtubers apart because they all talk the same use the same soundboard for their bad edits and either have a backwards cap or stupid hair
The Nostalgia :)
The 15th intro is undeniably the best one
4:28 home of the BIG MAT amazing…
I'm more and more heavily crying...
The theorist crew absolutely COOKED with the ninth man.
Watching this after the last episode aired and its so nostalgic. I started when intro 3 started and 7th is when i stopped following so i never seen 8th and the later.
1:36 mario jumpscare
We love you mattpatt
The twelfth one gave me epilepsy
Cool intros (R.I.P. Matpat)
welcome to internet, hello game theory
10 and 11 gotta be my favorites
1:43
2:08
I can’t tell what’s better
SEVENTH, _THAT_ WAS WHEN I STARTED WATCHING >:D
that shit got me SO fucking hyped!!
This is my personal favorite intro 2:08
Sobbing because only the seventh and the eleventh i recognized
The 11th and 12th intros were my favorite
2:37 one of the greatest intros of all time, almost as iconic as gravity falls!
I like Gravity falls
Wait why was there a POWER RANGERS intro 😂😂😂
His first videos had no title music, he just chose a random melody fitting to the topic. So the first two openings are really just randomly "Back in Time" and the Power Rangers-Opening (the real difference being in the visuals here)
Starting with the third Opening, he used Science Blaster as his theme music, first the original, than the Remix.
six intro holy Grail for me
It went from smartest show in gaming to ruining your childhood since 2011
the 6th intro is nearest and dearest to me.
respects to matpat. we will miss him.
1:19 best intro
I like the third one that one is so nostalgic
"ruining your childhood since 2011" very true
MATPAT THANKS FOR ROBLOX 3:11
1:43 is my favorite it’s what I grew up on
Damn this is kinda nostalgic.
Got recommended this and i didnt know about the old intros before the 5th. Its going to be way different without him as the host.
gamings tangential learning experience
We have to agree, Film theory, Food theory and Style theory needs new intros
The seventh one is the most nostalgic
Mario math is so iconic yet I don't see people talk about it much
2011 hello everyone and welcome to game theory 2024 HELLO EVERYBODY AND WELCOME TO GAMETHEORYYY!!!
WELCOM TO GAME THERY
ruining your childhood since 2011
7th intro 🔛🔝
What's the song use for the 16th intro (from 4:41-4:59)
A clap and a half to you. We’ll miss you. 😢
I love it when the mini mario runs
