And people ask why I'm proud of my favorite son. All I need to do is show them the channel.

Not gonna lie, when you paused after saying "The Unthinkable" my mind auto translated that to "Browsing the Fanart" and my heart rate immediately spiked, don't scare your old man like that ever again.

This is not the video I was expecting today, Son....but it is interesting nonetheless...and yeah, FNAF hit a sweet spot, arriving at the very high point of Reaction and Let's Play content, with those like Jack Sceptic Eye and Markiplier pulling their large crowds of young people into the world...the esoteric mystery and Silent Hill style storytelling if the actual story behind the story doesn't hurt either...though it's not always as well implemented as SH.

This was a great look into trying to understand the appeal of FNAF.
It's crazy that P.T. , another hugely influential horror title (for different reasons) came out a few days later after the first FNAF.

My son is testing out different content and I kinda dig it tbh

As an old guy with a 12 year old, this video definitely spoke to me. Thank you for explaining why the love for this series doesn't make sense to anyone over a certain age bracket. I do find it funny that a conservative game maker's most successful project was aping the mechanics of stupidly controversial Night Trap.

Dude you make incredible videos, just wanted to say thanks and appreciate them

Footage of son in front of the camera is different for sure but still feels natural

I never understood the appeal of the games/books of FNaF, but the lore is some hyperborean shroom-fueled fever dream, and I'm a sucker for those.
A very comprehensive essay on the nature of the franchise, from the perspective of an outsider. a thoroughly enjoyable video.

Can't wait to watch the video son, but as a casual fan of FNAF and to answer your question on a skin deep level, the main draw of FNAF to me is how unsettling the games are. While some people may not find the animatronics scary, I enjoy the atmosphere the game presents and the animatronics add to that feeling as beings that are alive while not necessarily "alive". As a child I also enjoyed the lore and the way it was presented immensely in it's pixel style, and I still think the earlier games hold up in this regard.

I always thought of Fnaf as being to Gen Z as Goosebumps or Are You Afraid of the Dark was to us older Millennials. Childrenâs horror is a surprisingly robust sector of the genre and has always existed in some form. I have briefly played a few, I enjoyed the one where youâre in the bedroom. It was a little more cerebral than the others. I donât approve of Scottâs politics but I respect his work ethic and the effort he put into the series when he worked on it.

Thanks son for a good video. Honestly I think that the enjoyment of the games were mainly from the time period when people were using everything they could to figure out what to do, alongside the popularity of let's plays. For me it's mostly seeing the reactions and efforts put into people trying to figure out everything alongside everything surrounding games (fangames, theories) that is more intriguing to me than the games themselves. Plus I've always enjoyed the psuedo-puzzle style of game that involves learning the correct procedure at the correct time to deal with a challenge that is coming whether you like it or not

I appreciate the fun/creative structure of this video.
To answer your last question, and you already probably know this, its popular because of a combination of luck in it going viral and children enjoying "react" content. It also hits the sweet spot of being scary but not so bad that parents will ban their kids from playing. Walks that thin line.

I got dragged into the FNAF community through the Letâs Plays by Markiplier, but then as the games were created and produced, the lore is what really sold it to me. I love seeing everyoneâs analyses, theories, and critiques of the games and the novels/books/stories, and how it all connects, if they do at all. I actually own all of the novels and most of the Fazbear Freights and Tales from the Pizzaplex books produced thus far.

I'm so glad I found your channel. All of the videos I've watched from you are so good. This is probably the shortest video I've seen from you but that didn't hurt the quality of the video!! I hope to see your channel blow up in the future because the YouTube community just doesn't know what they're missing.

This was pretty fascinating to me. I've always been slightly intrigued by the ideas behind the FNAF series and the reactions it brought out in people, but never enough to try any of the games for myself. I think your analysis of them points out a lot of the things that make them not that compelling for me - like Superhot, it's a concept that works up to a point then gets old quickly, and the only way to keep the interest up is to make it harder. Plus, I think jump scares are the cheapest tactic in horror media. They work occasionally, but they're usually kind of lame. Good work, son. You've shed light on a mystery.

I hope that this video pops off. I love the new format and this is a really interesting look at the FNAF phenomenon.

I'm late to this one, but I really enjoyed this format. I'm sure it'll be a great way to do lighter, shorter-form retrospectives.
Keep up the great work!
