once again i hope you enjoy this video and thank you all for your patience! i hope the wait was worth it :) once again this video is sponsorless, so it would be appreciated if you subscribed and showed support, links in the description! things have been pretty intense behind the scenes with networks so i really do hope that you all have fun with this vid! thanks for everything
I think what set Baldi apart from it's peers is that once the Horror Factor goes away, there is still a good game. There's still something to be enjoyed by the masses once the game's initial scare goes away. So many Mascot Horror games think that Horror and Marketability can be a *substitute* for good design and that's far from true.
I’m so glad someone’s finally appreciating how much character Baldi’s has. It may not really be a horror game anymore but it’s really evolved into something fun and unique.
I just wanna say since I'm seeing quite a few comments wondering why Thaf is "suddenly" a Vtuber and why he is "using an AI model" and wanted to drop the following information. Thaf has had his 3D models for 4 years, and I'm his model maker. There are real people behind the model. And a lot of work was put into it. :)
People calling it AI are definitely not artists, the moment I saw the animated classroom sections I immediately lost it at how amazing and fun it was to see, and thought about how much i'd love to do something inspired by it with my own characters in the future
I swear, the delivery of "Now all you have to do is... GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAAAAAAAAAN" has always slayed me. It's so unexpected, and sounds like something you'd hear from a Mel Blanc character.
My favourite bit of Baldi trivia is that mystman12 changed the bristles on Gotta Sweep to avoid being sued by a fucking broom company (in this case the Libman Precision Angle Broom)
If i had a nickel for every documentary about indie horror that starts with a summary of all of indie horror before talking about the game in question, Id be able to buy a mansion
If you want the boring answer, biennial means once every two years and biannual means twice a year. However, bi-yearly is an interchangeable adverb that possesses both meanings! So it’s actually both and neither at the same time! (Sorry I am a Big Nerd)
I mean, a slap from Baldi’s ruler would definitely hurt, but it’s justified since you got a question wrong, at least in his eyes. Also, I’d like to image the 3rd question is actually a corruption by Null
Its also kind of freaky that Null gets erased also from games files, like as if he actually got deleted from the game. And theres a secret game over screen once you beat Null Style, where Null is seen by the lake before his missing arms and head come out screaming before glitching. And although he is a antagonist, hes only doing this because he wants you to be safe instead of playing the game to search for a lore that dosent even exists.
Okay, the post-null mode alt endings are actually really cute, I gotta give it to the dev! Also, in an unfortunate turn of events, the main dev behind AAWVS eventually got sick and tired of working on the game that he straight up gave up on the project and moved on. It's a shame too, there were quite a lot of unique mechanics in the game. Hell at one point the game even had unique death screens for some of the ways you can die in the game (which as of the alleged final alpha build version, are no longer there)
@@dyingstar24 I mean, they at least share the same universe. The Rhotzials, or however you spell it, are cannon to VoTV. And theres also some references to the series, I think, but its been a while since I last looked at the wiki or saw fact videos so take what I say with a grain of salt.
@@ASnowWhiteAvali2006 There is also an event where you encounter these deadly balls of light shortly after getting a thing crashing near your base warning you of them If you play for long enough while fending yourself off from these balls of light, a large Rozital Pyramid Tripod thing will spawn and eat them, both eradicating that threat entirely, and encountering a pretty cool event
I saw a Steam review on Baldi’s Basics Plus which I think said it best as to why Baldi is able to succeed and be loved whereas other mascot horror games fall short. Baldi’s Basics may be a “horror game,” but even after the scare factor wears off, there’s still, you know… a GAME. There’s still a fun, skill-testing challenge to go through. It doesn’t rely too much on horror, and Classic Remastered outright pokes fun at other horror games prioritizing lore and scariness over gameplay with Null and his secret game mode. At the end of the day, Baldi puts in effort to stay engaging long after the scariness has come and gone. And I respect the hell out of that.
Baldi's basics is a strange fascination of mine, like how it's obviously a joke horror game but the mechanics do actually keep you on your toes to try to win. Edit: Yooooo you have 3D animation in your videos now?
One thing I love about Mystman12, the dev, is that he genuinely is great at programming the NPCs AI and cares a lot about the mechanics of the game. I think he is very talented, despite any surface-level appearances.
Baldi reminds me alot of cruelty squad in that way. It's a half shit post but has enough self respect to give you a nice game under a layer of irony. It's cruelty squad minus the French philosophy.
I can't thank you enough that there are subtitles on release - and not even the auto generated ones. It makes these videos so much more accessible and I greatly appreciate them
i Also want to add that around 2 weeks ago or less there was a new enemy added to Baldi's Basics + So that just shows that the creator really cares about this project
Fun fact : If the name "Eternity Dev" sounds familiar during the "Advanced Education with Viktor nameican'tspell" part. That's probably because he made a game that some RUclipsrs like Vinesauce and The Librarian played somewhat recently, Voices of the Void. In other words since people didn't like the use of "TL:DR", Advanced Education dev also made funny game where you are alone in a park with 20 satellites, a home base, and many creepy signals from the black void of space.
59:34 Baldi is actually said to be an inventor, being the creator of the portal poster and the dangerous teleporter, sooo i hope that helps you out a bit lol
I remember being super fascinated by Baldi's when it first came out. It's nice to see it evolve into its own thing and keep its own identity while remaining true to the original as newer editions came out
Honestly Baldi's Basics is one of the most unique games period. It's fun, it has a cool aesthetic, a lot, and I mean A LOT of charm, extreme replayability, and it has a passionate developer and community. I genuinely can't wait to play the final version of BB+, but that will be a long time from now, for now I just want to see what awesome stuff Micah will come up with in the meantime.
i didn't even know there was so much to baldis. honestly. also the colored subtitles while showing the characters yelling or something & describing like "rapid stomping" is very appreciated
thank you thafnine this is literally the best baldi retrospective video out there so far it is definitely seen that it's made by someone who appreciates and cares about the baldi franchise thank you very much and there was some things that even I didn't know about baldi so yeah this is awesome (and also thank you for mentioning slendytubbies for like a literal 1 second of the video it made my day)
I was there when Baldi's Basics was first released and started to blow up on RUclips. Manlybadasshero was the one who introduced me to this game, alongside another one of my favorites, Lisa the Painful.
I don't know if it was Manly, but as soon as I saw Baldi I got a little obsessed and started looking for videos on it and Manly was at least one of the first videos I saw. I was just looking for people getting wacky moments with GOTTA SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP for serotonin.
Just a heads up to those who came from the shadman list, thaf has stated that his interaction with shad was when he was 17-18 before he was a content creator and barely interacted. He never even knew who shadman teally was untill he was 19-20 when he had already written him off and would frequently s**t talk him every time he was brought up. He does not support him and never has.
thanks, i was confused when i seen his name on the list. it seems they listed people by association (or literally anyone who replied to him) and not people who are actively defending and supporting him (shad)
This was surprisingly more in-depth and engaging than I expected- I remember getting curious by Baldi again after I had binged Bijuu Mike playing through most of Raldi's Crackhouse until he finally stopped getting comments about yet another extra, extra EXTRA hidden boss he missed after several updates. To see how in-depth the evolution of this game actually went and that not only the dev never went the milking route, but also actually had given BBCR so much stuff for a free game... ...And even an *honest send-off, no more lore implications or tricks hidden in the game*, when you somehow managed to go through every single inch of that game- the ending itself kinda doubling as the "lore" closure with how NULL is no longer there and the game now turns into Baldi messing with you. Mighty good work on this one, buddy.
They also released a field trip demo for the Kickstarter campaign focusing on the first version of the camping trip, where you have to gather as much firewood as you can and fuel the fire before the timer (or the fire) goes out. I think MystMan12 scrapped this because it wasn't very fun to play. He has whole game design documents, years-long framework rehauls (see BB+ 0.4) and all the rest of it to make sure the game is as good to play as he can make it. Also EternityDev (AKA MrDrNose) released another Baldi's Basics "fangame" under a different username, called Alex' Basics in Biology and Zoology, which had 22 notebooks and an aesthetic that was a cross between Baldi's Basics' old-school dithered edutainment style and Advanced Education's dark horror themes. MystMan12 played it alongside JayskiBean in one of his videos. It was apparently a social experiment, and some time after releasing that he started making two sequels for it: Scrina's Sensors, which was based on a character called Scrina and had realistic action-based gameplay shown on his RUclips channel, and ABIBAZ Remastered, which has much more decorative details including foliage and a character model for Olivia (the protagonist), and only has test maps in it at the moment. He also made a very popular game called Voices of the Void after that, which might be familiar to you and is his current focus.
Was not expecting to learn that the creator of Voices of the Void made a Baldi fangame, the moment he showed the gameplay I was like “those lockers look really similar to the ones in Voices of the Void”.
HELLO?? I was watching a Baldi’s Basics lets play that I often rewatch and all of a sudden I see this in my recommended?? Thats insane, happy to see you again thaf
MystMan has stated that once he's done with Baldi's Basics Plus, that's it. There won't be a sequel, or a spin-off, or anything like that. And it's mostly 'cuz he wants to make much better things later down the line. And fun fact. The game was initially going to be made for the 3DS, as he was a prominent user on 3DS hacking due to this one homebrew program I forgot the name of. He had the idea for the game I think 3 years prior to the original Meta Game Jam release that he wanted to make for said 3DS program simply for the fun of it, but he turned the idea down likely due to the 3DS being pretty difficult to get much on it. There is a single line he recorded on his 3DS for the game, which likely leaked the fact that the name of the game was on the spot, as he said "Welcome to Baldi's Basics in Understand and Learning" before correcting it to "Education". Likely a name he just came up with like a minute or two ago before the recording. I assume once MystMan saw the Meta Game Jam being a thing, he decided to be a part of it and use his old Baldi idea as a submission. And I'm pretty sure he was VERY late to it as well, seeing as he was mere minutes away from the jam being over and I even think he said it once in an interview. But yeah. That's kinda it for Baldi now. He IS selling official plushies, but honestly, plushies aren't really a big deal with games. It's just merch, and everyone loves the characters, so why not? Toby Fox works with Fangamer to make a ton of merch of his characters, like plushies, clothes, figures, keychains, and why wouldn't he? He's the creator and composer of two of the best RPGs to ever come out in the 21st century. And he's still considered a fantastic game developer due to his incredible skills, sense of humor, and being a great developer to his fans. MystMan selling plushies is practically nothing at this point.
You have no idea how much I rewatch your videos. Like whenever I have to do a chore or pass the time, this is my go-to channel. I've rewatched your videos so many times that I even noticed the hidden messages on the cc, inside jokes from past video essays, and even editing style changes. I can also tell where you've cut or added voiceovers.
The random Czech while Sonic introduced himself really took me off guard lmao Other than that, amazing video as always! Love the writing and the editing :DDD
this video is absolutely incredible - i have always loved baldis basics and had such a huge soft spot for it, and this is without a doubt THE definitive video to show anyone who wants to know more. your essay style is so fast-paced yet easily digestible and tons of laughs are to be had, yet you gave the most comprehensive rundown of BB/BBCR i think ive ever seen. thank you for this!
Baldi Basics is the Unique Horror game even since 2018. At first it was scary as you see it for the first time. Now the more you know, you get along it. All started with. "That's how you use items you know" -Baldi
Holy shit the 3D stuff is SO WELL DONE omfg it must've taken hundreds of hours (and/or dollars) being a video essay that has a lot info i love the random bits thrown around funny it never gets tedious, amazing stuff
finally someone is talking about the genius of baldis basics!! Ive seen so many people dissing baldis basics lately and its just great to see a video like this.
I don't get why people are complaining about the Vtuber segments in this video when his FNAF video ALSO had the exact same segments in it, yet not a single person complained about it on there. You were fine with it on his FNAF video. Why complain about it now, on his newest video?
It was a little jarring at first given that this one feels a lot more expressive than the last but i dont see the main "problem" with the newer model??
people hating on vtuber shit in a Thafnine video *now* is very funny because like, he's been streaming with a 3D model for a while now. the vtubing is coming from inside the house, etc.
If someone came back in 2018 and told me that the canon ending of Baldi's Basics would've been that Baldi was cursed all along and he will become a great teacher once freed for then follow his true dream of building a shrinking machine to shrink himself, I would've been like: WOW!1!! :D
It’s less the existence of merch and moreso the incessant pushing of merch many indie horror games do. Baldis has created merch before but not in a non-apologetic way.
Your videos are my favorites on this platform, I like the way you narrate and the editing they have, it shows the love you put into them ^_^ Sorry 4 bad English, it's not my first language, lol
WOOHOO!!!!! A long wait but I can already tell it’s gonna be worth it!!! You can really see just how much the overall budget and editing have Improved just from the first 5 minutes!!! Watching this right now and I’m glad to see it come out!!! Good job Thaf my man- be proud of yourself dude you made a banger!!!!!
Off topic but I am a huge fan of the small cuts when thafs Vtuber model is on screen. I like how it’s animated, shot and rendered and occasionally I’ll literally rewatch the clips to just admire it
I love that the intro contains a reference to how anticlimactic the full release of Minecraft was, since basically everyone had played it by then anyway.
I don't know if anyone has said this already but fun fact: there is another ending in party style that isn't the main ending and alternative with Null. There's another one where if you use the teleporter as the world is being destroyed, Null yells at you and blames you for causing the world to be breaking. It's possibly the best voice delivery in the entire series, yes, better then baldi's classic "GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!". I thought that should be mentioned but I don't know if it's still available to get in the current version of BBCR.
the amount of work thaf puts in every of these videos is nothing to sneeze about. was very funny seeing the 3D thaf in a teacher suit XDD can't wait for the next one!
Wow oh wow this was awesome!! A truly entertaining vid the whole way through. All of the info was appreciated and delivered in a fun and understandable way, the editing + visuals were top tier frfr, and all of the jokes landed wonderfully. Legit didn't expect to get through this in one sitting but I couldn't imagine watching it any other way. Seriously a 10/10, big ups
The future of baldi right now is going pretty good. New characters, more scary secrets, the modding community is getting more advanced, can't wait for more content, seems as its almost finished tho. Almost in update 0.8!
Well done on this insanely 1 hour long video on the Baldi's Basics franchise, you did a FANTASTIC job on explaining everything it had to offer and I hope to see you again soon Mr Thafnine! (And with that, I'm off!)
Woooow this video is SO GOOD. I really like Baldi and you told me things that I didn't even know! Thanks so much man! Giving you a sub for that immediately! ❤
Wanted to pop in real quick on my nth rewatch to say "THANK YOU" for the lovingly detailed closed captions you provided for this video. They're clear, accurate, and have the best little easter eggs thrown in.
thaf's video releases have become a special occasion for me at this point, i plan around them, order takeout and everything lmao. feels like going to the movies
19:15 COOOoongraduations you found all 7 notebooks, now all you need to do is gET OuT WhILee yOU StIlL CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN Sweeper: its sweeping tiiiime :D

HELL YEAH NEW THAFNINE VID I love your main channel videos! this was very worth the wait also your outfit is so cool! i and the other artists will def draw it :3 this was very fun to watch and also quite educational
thaf the wait was so genuinely worth it!! i usually have your videos playing in the background but i had to pause what i was doing just to watch because there was so much information here that i didnt even know about and it feels like you really did cover everything, absolutely stunning 💞
GREAT video man!! Love your editing and humor. It always keeps the video engaging along with all the interesting stuff. Also, I love the rigged model you use to record movement with. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it used in a RUclips video like this and it looks super good!
It’s nice to see Baldi back in the spotlight 19:45 You was at the club Bottoms up 22:40 It’s nice to see that fangame get mentioned No one seems to remember it
Woah, re-watching this again and noticed the subtitles seem revamped! I super appreciate it, especially for NULL's dialogue (I could NOT decipher them before). Thank you so much for you continued hard work! :) EDIT: Omg and you've added the name of the credit song too! I'd been dying to find out what that song was!
Someone once said, that baldis basics is about a child’s fear of making mistakes, and baldi with a ruler is just his imagination, and the reality is that baldi is helping him, as seen in a ending where he helps him better at math
Great video! This is the first I've seen of yours (came up recommended), but given your great sense of humor, I doubt it will be the last! Absolutely fantastic review of Baldi's.
I remember the first video of yours I saw. It was the first T9 Baldi's Basics video and I watched it with my sister about three years ago. It's crazy to see how far you've come man, and I'm so happy to see everything come full circle. Keep doing what you're doing man! 🎉
once again i hope you enjoy this video and thank you all for your patience! i hope the wait was worth it :)
once again this video is sponsorless, so it would be appreciated if you subscribed and showed support, links in the description! things have been pretty intense behind the scenes with networks so i really do hope that you all have fun with this vid! thanks for everything

why did you make the vrchat avatar less breedable? also good vid
Baldi is actually kinda adorable when Null isn’t involved. Wholesome math teacher just trying to have fun with his student. Would give him an apple

and there was some things that even I didn't know about baldi so yeah this is awesome
(and also thank you for mentioning slendytubbies for like a literal 1 second of the video it made my day)
Been browsing aimlessly through RUclips with no interesting videos at all until this video popped up in my notifications
Literally made my day
same
Uhh matpat¿
Pyrocynical has pretty similiar videos
Same same
I was there when Baldi's Basics was first released and started to blow up on RUclips.
Manlybadasshero was the one who introduced me to this game, alongside another one of my favorites, Lisa the Painful.
I don't know if it was Manly, but as soon as I saw Baldi I got a little obsessed and started looking for videos on it and Manly was at least one of the first videos I saw.
I was just looking for people getting wacky moments with GOTTA SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP for serotonin.
Did Manly play any other games that had complicated yet comprehensible lore/unique mechanics that are actually fun?
lisa mentioned
Lisa The Painful mentioned. One of my favorite rpg maker games
YOU AGAIN, Also Manly seems to introduce a lot of people to horror series, specially corpse party
Just a heads up to those who came from the shadman list, thaf has stated that his interaction with shad was when he was 17-18 before he was a content creator and barely interacted. He never even knew who shadman teally was untill he was 19-20 when he had already written him off and would frequently s**t talk him every time he was brought up. He does not support him and never has.
thanks, i was confused when i seen his name on the list. it seems they listed people by association (or literally anyone who replied to him) and not people who are actively defending and supporting him (shad)
thank u bro i saw thaf on that list and was so confused cause like wth- but i assumed he wasn’t too overly involved with Shadman.
This was surprisingly more in-depth and engaging than I expected- I remember getting curious by Baldi again after I had binged Bijuu Mike playing through most of Raldi's Crackhouse until he finally stopped getting comments about yet another extra, extra EXTRA hidden boss he missed after several updates. To see how in-depth the evolution of this game actually went and that not only the dev never went the milking route, but also actually had given BBCR so much stuff for a free game...
...And even an *honest send-off, no more lore implications or tricks hidden in the game*, when you somehow managed to go through every single inch of that game- the ending itself kinda doubling as the "lore" closure with how NULL is no longer there and the game now turns into Baldi messing with you.
Mighty good work on this one, buddy.
Thanks for featuring our game Beswitched at 6:29! Such a nice surprise to see
my favourite part of the video was when thaf said "ITS BALDI'N TIME!!" and shaved his head and balls live infront of the classroom.
Bro what 💀
?????????
Yeeaah best part
I loved it when baldi told me to not eat ass in the halls
They also released a field trip demo for the Kickstarter campaign focusing on the first version of the camping trip, where you have to gather as much firewood as you can and fuel the fire before the timer (or the fire) goes out. I think MystMan12 scrapped this because it wasn't very fun to play. He has whole game design documents, years-long framework rehauls (see BB+ 0.4) and all the rest of it to make sure the game is as good to play as he can make it.
Also EternityDev (AKA MrDrNose) released another Baldi's Basics "fangame" under a different username, called Alex' Basics in Biology and Zoology, which had 22 notebooks and an aesthetic that was a cross between Baldi's Basics' old-school dithered edutainment style and Advanced Education's dark horror themes. MystMan12 played it alongside JayskiBean in one of his videos. It was apparently a social experiment, and some time after releasing that he started making two sequels for it: Scrina's Sensors, which was based on a character called Scrina and had realistic action-based gameplay shown on his RUclips channel, and ABIBAZ Remastered, which has much more decorative details including foliage and a character model for Olivia (the protagonist), and only has test maps in it at the moment. He also made a very popular game called Voices of the Void after that, which might be familiar to you and is his current focus.
Alex's basics was pretty neat in my opinion because of what happens at the end.
This whole video was such a wonderfully sweet thing for you to do, and i can't wait for Mystman12 to see it.
Was not expecting to learn that the creator of Voices of the Void made a Baldi fangame, the moment he showed the gameplay I was like “those lockers look really similar to the ones in Voices of the Void”.
The Man Is back.
I thought this said "The Man is Black" at first, and I was thinking "... I mean, you're not wrong..."
The Man IS Black

HELLO?? I was watching a Baldi’s Basics lets play that I often rewatch and all of a sudden I see this in my recommended?? Thats insane, happy to see you again thaf
MystMan has stated that once he's done with Baldi's Basics Plus, that's it. There won't be a sequel, or a spin-off, or anything like that. And it's mostly 'cuz he wants to make much better things later down the line. And fun fact. The game was initially going to be made for the 3DS, as he was a prominent user on 3DS hacking due to this one homebrew program I forgot the name of. He had the idea for the game I think 3 years prior to the original Meta Game Jam release that he wanted to make for said 3DS program simply for the fun of it, but he turned the idea down likely due to the 3DS being pretty difficult to get much on it. There is a single line he recorded on his 3DS for the game, which likely leaked the fact that the name of the game was on the spot, as he said "Welcome to Baldi's Basics in Understand and Learning" before correcting it to "Education". Likely a name he just came up with like a minute or two ago before the recording.
I assume once MystMan saw the Meta Game Jam being a thing, he decided to be a part of it and use his old Baldi idea as a submission. And I'm pretty sure he was VERY late to it as well, seeing as he was mere minutes away from the jam being over and I even think he said it once in an interview.
But yeah. That's kinda it for Baldi now. He IS selling official plushies, but honestly, plushies aren't really a big deal with games. It's just merch, and everyone loves the characters, so why not? Toby Fox works with Fangamer to make a ton of merch of his characters, like plushies, clothes, figures, keychains, and why wouldn't he? He's the creator and composer of two of the best RPGs to ever come out in the 21st century. And he's still considered a fantastic game developer due to his incredible skills, sense of humor, and being a great developer to his fans. MystMan selling plushies is practically nothing at this point.
You have no idea how much I rewatch your videos. Like whenever I have to do a chore or pass the time, this is my go-to channel. I've rewatched your videos so many times that I even noticed the hidden messages on the cc, inside jokes from past video essays, and even editing style changes. I can also tell where you've cut or added voiceovers.
The random Czech while Sonic introduced himself really took me off guard lmao
Other than that, amazing video as always! Love the writing and the editing :DDD
Czech Republic mentioned RRRRAAAAHHHH!!!!
Ježek sonick
Sonic if he was a beer addict
I **LOVE** this revival Baldi's Basics has been getting
Your production value has skyrocketed and honestly I’m a huge fan
8:24 if you aren't patient enough or don't wanna skip multiple times then this is for you
this video is absolutely incredible - i have always loved baldis basics and had such a huge soft spot for it, and this is without a doubt THE definitive video to show anyone who wants to know more. your essay style is so fast-paced yet easily digestible and tons of laughs are to be had, yet you gave the most comprehensive rundown of BB/BBCR i think ive ever seen. thank you for this!
Baldi Basics is the Unique Horror game even since 2018.
At first it was scary as you see it for the first time.
Now the more you know, you get along it.
All started with.
"That's how you use items you know" -Baldi
Holy shit the 3D stuff is SO WELL DONE omfg it must've taken hundreds of hours (and/or dollars) being a video essay that has a lot info i love the random bits thrown around funny it never gets tedious, amazing stuff
this high quality modle looks *ahem* nice imo
finally someone is talking about the genius of baldis basics!! Ive seen so many people dissing baldis basics lately and its just great to see a video like this.
I don't get why people are complaining about the Vtuber segments in this video when his FNAF video ALSO had the exact same segments in it, yet not a single person complained about it on there.
You were fine with it on his FNAF video. Why complain about it now, on his newest video?
It was a little jarring at first given that this one feels a lot more expressive than the last but i dont see the main "problem" with the newer model??
@@rossobrien7358 A lot of people seem to hate it for literally no reason other than "EW VTUBERS"
people hating on vtuber shit in a Thafnine video *now* is very funny because like, he's been streaming with a 3D model for a while now. the vtubing is coming from inside the house, etc.
If someone came back in 2018 and told me that the canon ending of Baldi's Basics would've been that Baldi was cursed all along and he will become a great teacher once freed for then follow his true dream of building a shrinking machine to shrink himself, I would've been like:
WOW!1!! :D
I knew it was coming, yet actually seeing it in my notifications was such a shock lmao
Certainly worth the wait!
You don't need to be a winner to win. Baldi's Basics didn't win the jam, but that doesn't matter. It won something else. The internet.
1:00:41 correction: baldi did have some merch, toys, stickers, face mask, and a mug, along with some collabs with youtooz and makeship
It’s less the existence of merch and moreso the incessant pushing of merch many indie horror games do. Baldis has created merch before but not in a non-apologetic way.
Your videos are my favorites on this platform, I like the way you narrate and the editing they have, it shows the love you put into them ^_^
Sorry 4 bad English, it's not my first language, lol
WOOHOO!!!!! A long wait but I can already tell it’s gonna be worth it!!! You can really see just how much the overall budget and editing have Improved just from the first 5 minutes!!! Watching this right now and I’m glad to see it come out!!! Good job Thaf my man- be proud of yourself dude you made a banger!!!!!
Return of the king.
You're here too?! =3
Oh, Harley
Off topic but I am a huge fan of the small cuts when thafs Vtuber model is on screen.
I like how it’s animated, shot and rendered and occasionally I’ll literally rewatch the clips to just admire it
pretty sure those ain't animated. he uses them vtuber kits or whatever i think
Can I just mention how damn on-point your impression of Nic Cage's "IN A MINUTE" from The Croods was in 5:10? Honestly really impressed with that :D
I love that the intro contains a reference to how anticlimactic the full release of Minecraft was, since basically everyone had played it by then anyway.
I don't know if anyone has said this already but fun fact: there is another ending in party style that isn't the main ending and alternative with Null. There's another one where if you use the teleporter as the world is being destroyed, Null yells at you and blames you for causing the world to be breaking. It's possibly the best voice delivery in the entire series, yes, better then baldi's classic "GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!". I thought that should be mentioned but I don't know if it's still available to get in the current version of BBCR.
Feels like I could actively go Baldi's school and graduate from 9th grade to senior year before Thaf can release another video.
the amount of work thaf puts in every of these videos is nothing to sneeze about. was very funny seeing the 3D thaf in a teacher suit XDD can't wait for the next one!
Bro the production on the 3d model segments are such a delight
Wow oh wow this was awesome!! A truly entertaining vid the whole way through. All of the info was appreciated and delivered in a fun and understandable way, the editing + visuals were top tier frfr, and all of the jokes landed wonderfully. Legit didn't expect to get through this in one sitting but I couldn't imagine watching it any other way. Seriously a 10/10, big ups
The future of baldi right now is going pretty good. New characters, more scary secrets, the modding community is getting more advanced, can't wait for more content, seems as its almost finished tho. Almost in update 0.8!
Go to sleep to a nice song or Minecraft video:🚫
Watch a 1 hour vid of someone talking about baldi:✅
I love your videos so much, the wait was definitely worth it
Well done on this insanely 1 hour long video on the Baldi's Basics franchise, you did a FANTASTIC job on explaining everything it had to offer and I hope to see you again soon Mr Thafnine! (And with that, I'm off!)
Woooow this video is SO GOOD. I really like Baldi and you told me things that I didn't even know! Thanks so much man! Giving you a sub for that immediately! ❤
Wanted to pop in real quick on my nth rewatch to say "THANK YOU" for the lovingly detailed closed captions you provided for this video. They're clear, accurate, and have the best little easter eggs thrown in.
thaf's video releases have become a special occasion for me at this point, i plan around them, order takeout and everything lmao. feels like going to the movies
The models in this video are so freaking detailed. Amazing work holy shit!!!!
I love how expressive you are when explaining things xD
You've earned my sub.

I love your main channel videos! this was very worth the wait
also your outfit is so cool! i and the other artists will def draw it :3
this was very fun to watch and also quite educational
So happy to see Baldi’s Basics finally getting more attention on RUclips again
thaf the wait was so genuinely worth it!! i usually have your videos playing in the background but i had to pause what i was doing just to watch because there was so much information here that i didnt even know about and it feels like you really did cover everything, absolutely stunning 💞
GREAT video man!! Love your editing and humor. It always keeps the video engaging along with all the interesting stuff. Also, I love the rigged model you use to record movement with. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it used in a RUclips video like this and it looks super good!
I actually wasnt expecting baldis basics to be this in depth xD this video was well worth the wait and incredibly well made!
The animated segments looked great! Wonderful work as always!
Woah, they uploaded! Crazy. Thanks for the video by the way
Edit: those 3D animated segments look really good. Whoever made them did a phenomenal job
It’s nice to see Baldi back in the spotlight
19:45
You was at the club
Bottoms up
22:40
It’s nice to see that fangame get mentioned
No one seems to remember it
I like how you did subtitles. They're thematic and they're not auto generated which I appreciate. THank youuuu!
Woah, re-watching this again and noticed the subtitles seem revamped! I super appreciate it, especially for NULL's dialogue (I could NOT decipher them before). Thank you so much for you continued hard work! :)
EDIT: Omg and you've added the name of the credit song too! I'd been dying to find out what that song was!
Literally screamed when I saw this in my notifications!!! Just got done re-binging your best videos like yesterday so this is an awesome surprise ^^
I've heard baldi has merch although respect to mystman for over advertising it unlike anyone else
Holy shite baldi is actually coming back, I swear they’re are so many videos about it coming out now. Very happy, very very happy
Someone once said, that baldis basics is about a child’s fear of making mistakes, and baldi with a ruler is just his imagination, and the reality is that baldi is helping him, as seen in a ending where he helps him better at math
Great video! This is the first I've seen of yours (came up recommended), but given your great sense of humor, I doubt it will be the last! Absolutely fantastic review of Baldi's.
BELIEVE I'M WATCHING THIS AT WORK, THANK YOU THAF AND WE'RE SO PROUD OF YOU 💙
I hate how accurately he'd think I'd be thinking "so when do we get to the point" for the beginning of the video. Another great video
Oh man I can finally have some smiles after saying goodbye to Matpat today :]
I remember the first video of yours I saw. It was the first T9 Baldi's Basics video and I watched it with my sister about three years ago. It's crazy to see how far you've come man, and I'm so happy to see everything come full circle. Keep doing what you're doing man! 🎉
I love your editing and style of humour. Enjoyed the video and horror history lesson as well.
