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
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.

@@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
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.
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.
@@GameNot0verr 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 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.
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
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)
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)
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
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
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
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)
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
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’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
I do believe that the paper pals originated from the Fredbear restaurant, and due to their smaller stature, the animatronics mistaken them as children.
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.
i think the change to black in security breach and help wanted are to say they represent shadow bonnie and freddy and I think paper buddy is just a kids representation of themself
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

Pretty sure the paper pals are the most important characters in the whole series.
Paper buddy did the bite of 87
Without question tbh
Paper bonnie is literally mxes guys
Paper Freddy is one of william afton's accomplices
The paper pals made purple guy go insane and kill people!

Correct option
Correc opinion_
11:04 is exactly why Scott got a copyright for them. Too easy to recreate and pass off as official merch.

Ok
Paper palls are the best just one tier away from foxy because...foxy is foxy
I'm pretty sure the Paper pals are just Scott's favorite ANimatronics, Balloon Boy, Freddy, and Bonnie

That would explain their designs in FNAF 2, and why Whitered Chica seems to protect (i assume, it could be false) one of them.
I mean.. they're just decorations..

Dude your editing is insanely good holy moly keep it up
Omgggggg they had the paper pals at the birthday section in the fnaf movie at regal I didn’t even notice!
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
I never realized how fricking huge the paper pals were until you showed the security breach clips- they are more terrifying than the glam rocks- dang
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)
I always assumed that it was a reference to Bonnie from FNAF 1, one of his eyes were missing went he went to a corner of the pizzeria.
Endoplush, no question, he is weirder than weird, even weirder than paperpals
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)
Finally, after all these years, fnaf lore has been solved.
(Great vid btw)
Shadow freddy and shadow bonnie are just dead employees in fnaf jr whose souls keeps just roaming without harming anyone
These guys have plot armor(they survived for so long, longer that william💀)
This was my favorite mystery as a teen
Wonderful video. Who knew there so so much to learn about the paper pals?
Now that I look at a video all about these guys, I see how simple there design is and I want to make some!

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
they were the first,
they've seen everything
It's also possible that they had to recreate the paper bunny and freddy, because they did burn at fnaf 3.
Scot: "I'm going to make a silly eater egg of silly versions of the characters"

Why does one of the new paper pals from FNAF6 have a flower that matches the flower in the bedroom from FNAF4's cutscenes/mini games?

Who is shadow deedee?
@@bigearl1624 The shadow version of Deedee, I believe she pops up frequently on 50/20 mode in UCN (correct me if I’m wrong though)
With all do respicts paper buddy looks more like the puppet to me with that smile and the three buttons.
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
Saw recreations of these at my movie theater when I went to see the movie
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.
These guys are seriously my favourite FNAF characters lol. I wish they got more recognition :
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
I mis read the title as FNAF's Strongest "Character".
Oh my God finally someone is talking about this, ever since the FNaF2 Easter egg I always wondered “what’s the meaning of this?”
I do believe that the paper pals originated from the Fredbear restaurant, and due to their smaller stature, the animatronics mistaken them as children.
Bruh my sleep addled brain only read "Paperpal's: FNAF strongest characters' I'm crying
I had this one paper pal in my Office in fnaf 2 yesterday and i was like, wait a minute... This thing aint supposed to be here, is it...? 😂
Really cool video!
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.

ok so the silly pals and og buddy is rotting in william aftons hell hold while paper freddy and bonnie chilling in the Pizzaria
I love the paper plate pals
I’m happy they are playable in fnaf world it’s nice to have a group character also I have the mystery mini
i think that paperpals are shadow animatronics but they are drawn by the kids possessing them
paper buddy is my favourite animatronic
i think that toy chica with the paper pals screen happens on the mobile version
In my version, Whitered Chica stood in front of one.
Should've ended it by turning around to find Buddy sitting on the wall behind you after having just thrown him out
