The saddest part about Huggy Wuggy in this scenario is that the child inside might not even have ties to that specific house. As a kid, you’re taught to run and find a safe place if you get lost or kidnapped. When Huggy escaped Playtime Co, he was probably trying to find a safe place where people could help him. The house that we see him at could just have been the first house he found. The reason he just stands there is because he realizes he can’t knock at the door and ask for help like a normal kid because of what Playtime Co did to him. He has no voice to yell or tears to cry so he just stands there, with his mouth open panting like a stressed dog, and accepts his fate :(

[@SenoraCardgage]

I was kinda thinking this too. Maybe there’s nothing special about the house, it’s just *a house,* and the fugitive didn’t want to be lost in the woods anymore.

[@phirerising]

Matt hit upon a really good point in his analysis. I love horror things that go "no seriously, look how fucked up this is" far more than I do cheap jump scares or horror effects. I wish more franchises would lean into that.

[@YanntastischGER]

28:15 You two made a REALLY good point there. In FNaF, Poppy, and most ghost-themed horror games, you never see how it has happened, only the aftermath. So you don't really feel emotional about it since you never really get to know the characters or their families. But there are these small scenes that make you realize "gosh that is so messed up". We sit there making jokes and hours talkin' about these stories as if they are normal. "Oh yeah so this rabbit guy killed kids and shoved them in suits". "So these toys were made from dead orphans killed by the company".

[@icerose21]

The initial "jumpscare" in the video really reminds me of common car accidents you see with deer or moose running while in "flight" mode. To me, Huggy wasn't aiming for the car, he was barreling down the road in a blind panic and ran into it. The term "deer caught in the headlights" is apropos here as animals that are active during darker hours are easily stunned by bright lights. In the dark, the animal's eyes are fully dilated to capture as much light as possible, thus when a headlight hits them, they tend to freeze until their eyes can adjust or they run blindly through it. Now Huggy's eyes are typically dilated when he's active, likely so he can see where he is going in vents and the dark corridors of the factory (this also fits if he was meant to be after hours security). So, it's also likely he could see where he was going on the dark roads at night and was stunned by the car. He was probably thrown into "fight" mode when the security staff got out of the car to shoot him. They cornered him in the forest, and cornered animals can be some of the deadliest.

[@CameronFear-ue1by]

OMG THAT IS SO SMART!!!! And that is actually probably what happened, as that is really common!

[@Crismiliard]

matpat jr (real)

[@alexandrahernandez7206]

I thought that too but if you play the video in slow motion with Huggy colliding with the car, it almost seems that he smashed into the car and fell sideways next to it-- which would explain the sound of a body toppling to the ground. Maybe that was because Huggy got tranquilized. It says so in the video that he got hit once in the left leg. I think once he got hit in the leg, and tried to get away from the humans, the tranquilizer kicked in, causing him to become dizzy and he collided with the car in his path while he blindly flee from those hunting him. That's a possibly too. After that happened, Huggy MANAGED to escape into the woods-- which would probably mean that while under the effect of the tranquilizer, he struggled and managed to run into the woods, which would make it harder for the humans to track him.

[@icerose21]

@@alexandrahernandez7206 That's also a good theory! If he was under the effects of a drug, it would be that much harder to avoid an obstacle like a car.

[@alexandrahernandez7206]

@@icerose21 Thanks! Like people like Matpat, I also watch very carefully at things like this. Sometimes observing it in slow motion can make things much more clear. Like the fact that Huggy was watching the person who was holding the flashlight in the vhs tape. The moment it shows the beginning of that person with the flashlight, you can see Huggy's head at the corner of the video. He is peering at the person holding the flashlight before he moves his head away. Then we see his legs the second time the person swivels around a second time. Alot of people had missed that part and so have I. But once I did it in slow motion, I saw him. Look closely and you will find him!

[@sagegabriella2093]

The cameras in the woods are most likely hunter cameras, they're used to monitor traps or areas were game (animal that is hunted) is spotted, someone out there now knows about Huggy and isn't talking

[@lucan322]

[@victoriawhitcomb6475]

Honestly, I just assumed Playtime Co. either paid them off or they were their cameras there to monitor if anyone came snooping around or one of the toys escaped.

[@HylianSpecOps]

Hunter cams make more sense, but I think they were put up before Huggy escaped. it wouldn't make much sense if they were put up after-given how Huggy mauls anyone who messes with him in any way. Maybe the hunter now knows about Huggy.

[@rmgismyname495]

Seeing Huggy Wuggy while listening to MatPat about how they were just standing there beside a house made me wonder if that child is not actually an orphan... like he was living a life in their respective home until someone from the Poppy Playtime Co. abducted them and called them as "orphan" cuz they don't want to expose the identity of the child if they went missing, and how it leads to this...

[@-Nightingale]

I'm shocked Mat didn't mention (or he didn't by 27:55) that when we see Huggy at the house it's a different camera feed. It is not one of Poopy Playtime's cameras it's a civilian's camera someone knows of the experiments and stayed quiet, or got offed and they stole the footage to be safe.

[@guiltyavocado]

this!

[@xariasimmons2121]

There is also the fact that we know they might have used employees in some of the toys near the end of Poppy Playtime. So if more than one person possesses Huggy Wuggy, it could be an employee going back to their family.

Maybe when huggy escaped, a explanation to why he just stood there at the house when they found him might be this: when he found the house he stood there in disbelief, the building he once knew, his house, his family, his pets (if he had any) , was all gone and replace with things unfamiliar. He realised his life was gone, along with that building he called home.

[@mongoose9851]

That's what I was thinking too. He wanted to go home, but realized he didn't have a home anymore. Maybe that's why he just stood there and let them capture him.

[@Lurkinginyourfridge]

Question: Was it ever confirmed that Huggy is one of the orphan children or is this just a fan theory? I always figured he was originally one of the adult workers, maybe even a human security guard, before being transformed. Poppy is confirmed to have been an adult before becoming a doll and MLL is also thought to have been one of the staff members, so why not Huggy and even Kissy? I have a theory that all of the smaller toys were definitely orphan children, while the bigger toys were adult staff members who either volunteered or were forced. This makes sense to me mainly because you don't really have to train adults to look after children or do security patrols, and the orphans could just continue to be children in toy-form since they're designed to play with other children anyways. Seeing Huggy run straight to (or the vague direction of, since he had to divert from road to woods) a home from the factory, without any help or directions, makes me think that it's a route he's taken before, from home to his job at the factory and vice versa, and that he may even still have a family there. Could also explain how they were able to find him in the end as well, since they'd have his previous home address if he worked there. They'd have had an idea of where he was heading and met him there before he had a chance to get inside the house. This is just my own word-vomit theory, so feel free to comment if you know something here is incorrect.

[@l.l274]

the theory that huggy was a child started because one of the scientists notes/tapes said that he was more obedient than the other creatures and from than on was seen as perfect compared to the prototype

[@l.l274]

so the idea is that they started using workers in the factory for experiments than later on they began using orphans/children in later experiments

[@jadebeason7552]

MLL was the one confirmed to be an employee, not Poppy. MLL is Marie Payne. We don’t have any information on who Poppy was.

[@aromaladyellie]

This is kind of my opinion as well. Huggy was before MLL so that may be why it can't talk, but it was probably an adult as the Giants were used as Security for the facility. It's possible Huggy was an adult who wasn't properly transferred to the toy body, missing their voice both literal and figurative.

[@emmamiller8351]

This could be why the dinosaur toy in the other teaser is rejected; he wasn’t a child before experimentation

[@serratedchimera3871]

Huggy went to the last place he remembered he was ever truly happy. That's a big possibility. When under stress and feel depressed you always go to the place where you last felt safe and happy. When you technically don't have a real home you go to the last place you ever had that feeling. I hope that made sense

[@thewaves3545]

It’s a possibility, but also the dude was hit with a bunch of tranquilizers and had to stop somewhere, the house could likely just be where he stopped. I realize the idea that Huggy used to be human and went back to his house has a nice ring to it though lol

I love that the hour long "Aquatic ambiance (donkey kong country)" on the side of the screen has been fully watched. I imagining Mat listening to it trying to calm himself down while writing theories x)

[@lexisalicea2601]

I like to think that in the first Poppy playtime, that Huggy attacked us after we made the toy because he thought we were hurting another kid and he kept hunting us down out of starvation. If the toys are made out of kids it only makes sense that he watches you and gets angry when he sees it happening again.

[@niyathiav2743]

That actually makes a lot of sense, since Huggy could be upset after watching us create a doll, and then get the memories or flashbacks of the trauma of killing the orphan kids to make dolls living. That could trigger something in him to think that we are an employee of Playtime Co., if we weren't already confirmed to be, I'm not sure what the protag's role is. He was pretty docile before the toy was created, and if you go into the game and check your inventory after submitting the doll to the scanner, we keep the doll. Maybe he was going after the doll to save it from the employee under the belief that the doll was another orphan or child trapped inside.

[@GTLyssa]

Thank you Matpat and Ash to acknowledge that when you think about these stories it's extremely dark. Especially as a parent I'd be terrified something like that happened. I used to struggle HARD alone in FNAF until doing years worth of Lore all in the span of October to December 2021

[@starchild199x]

When you think about the Chapter 3 teaser and how those kids were screaming, most likely while becoming toys... that's legitimately horrifying. What kind of sick individual would want to do that to children, especially to orphans? I don't just imagine a "soul transfer", but an actual legit body horror moment. Like The Thing, Akira, etc. Why else would the children be screaming bloody murder? It sends a chill down my spine and twists my gut around when I think about what could have happened to those poor innocent kids.

[@starchild199x]

Addendum: We seem to be desensitized to this kind of stuff due to unintentional conditioning. A lot of modern day horror isn't as terrifying as what some of us millennials/early gen z's experienced in the unrestricted internet days. Click on a random link and now you're suddenly watching a beheading video! But when you sit back and think "wow kids in this horror game are dying by the hands of some psychopathic person in pursuit of pure selfishness", especially how sad it is in retrospect, it's really fucked up. Parents losing their kids to terrible circumstances, especially the worst possible ones... Souls trapped in animatronics... orphan kids transformed into toys for profit... Absolutely fucked up, I wonder how these creators even tap into these ideas.

Since in chapter 2, they mentioned that Huggy wuggy's temperment and obedience was ideal. I wonder if afterwards they made kissy who turned out passifistic, and started using the original huggy as security, they decided to make another (which i believe would be the one that escaped, the fresher less obedient and more panicked expirament) and maybe that is why they changed directions from huggy, is that not all of them were going to be as easily controlled, and so they moved on to more diverse ideas.

[@hihowareyou424]

The fact that Huggy just wanted to go home was what upset me the most. This kid had a home, friends who cared about them. They might not have parents anymore, but they could have the memories of their family. You're always taught to got to a house with a family if you're in trouble, but Huggy can't anymore, they realise that they're powerless to go anywhere, or ask for help. They can only stand there, helpless as they're brought back to the facility. Helpless, as they realise the monster that they've become.

[@aWywardWyvern]

I think it actually makes a lot of sense huggy would run to a home given that in the first game we saw that playtime co was encouraging employees to adopt the orphans. It’s possible huggy was adopted by an employee and that’s the home they lived in. I feel like how close the home was to playtime co kinda backs that up, as the employees would be living within daily commuting range.

[@KimMinerLitton]

I think it's interesting that Huggy is the experiment that does this, because he was listed as the perfect mix of obedient and smart enough, so its interesting to speculate when his loyalties shifted from the factory to the Prototype. Before Project Playtime, I assumed that Huggy was continuing his job of security for the factory in Chapter 1 and Mommy was playing a different more revenge-driven game. Now this and Project Playtime confirm that his obedience shifted to the Prototype at around this point and there was some kind of awakening for him.

I really liked how matpat put it and I think what makes it more sad is that this is most likely the reason they(the company) chose orphans, cause they have no one and nowhere else to go. That's what makes it so much more sad cause like when huggy was just standing in front of the home, who would even recognize you, you have the body of a giant monster in the form of a toy but with the mind and heart of an innocent scared child. This game has so much potential and I'm excited to see where they take it

[@nuggywaggy5869]

Hey if anyone has been paying close attention to the series has Matpat established that the big toys aren't made of ex employees? Because the child visiting house theory is strong but I was under the impression Huggy was an adult turned toy

[@StatuesAndImitations]

Yeah, the company was actually using orphaned children for their experiments instead, so huggy is a kid 👍

[@mongoose9851]

In chapter 2, it was made clear that mommy was made from a female employee. In chapters 1 & 2, it was hinted that Huggy might've been made from Rich, that angry employee who complained about his job. So yeah there's a chance huggy is not an orphan. Imo the bigger bodies are probably all employees.

Weren't staff encouraged to leave their kids in Playcare? What if those kids were used too and their parents just sent to Boxy Boo to hide the evidence? Imagine that "kid" escaping and running back to the family home only to find a new family living there. I would have no idea what to do either if I was that kid/Huggy.

[@tacojoesvt]

35:02 - 37:21 This got me thinking, what if after all this time the big rug pull isn't just "you're the one who helped cause this" but it's that you are Pierre and you were the one who is entirely responsible, and now you are stuck facing your actions and mistakes. On the topic of the video, I feel so bad for the situation huggy is put in, they were tormented in the factory and the dude just wanted to see his home, so he could remember his life. Although on the part of playtime co, You can't just let that get out, it would create mass panic among the world. The public can not see these monsters that have been created by playtime co, because while playtime co deserves to be shut down if these were seen at all, how would you react if you saw that one day in real life?

5:08 to answer this question about the MP4 timeline thing, it is possible that someone found a tape/footage somewhere inside the company, took it with them and was able to upload it to a computer, to convert it to MP4, MANY years later! My grandfather is having it done with old VHS, and film reels from the 60-70s cameras he used to use.

[@saynitamoonsshadow210]

I'm leaning more on the theory that Huggy was originally a worker. I think that, like Mommy, Huggy surely had to be a worker. He appears to be more intelligent, bigger in size, has the capability to think (like already pointed out by others: he clearly found/followed the player and started the chase only after we made the toy - making it clear we used to work there, kinda giving the player a probability of a doubt), knows his way around, etc. Of course there has been a lot time to roam around the factory, but taken into account that there was a need for cheaper labor - inhuman workers don't really need paychecks, plus young children propably wouldn't have the skills to complete the needed tasks. And since the workers were propably from nearby area anyway (easy/fast to go to and if there wasn't much working possibilities, even a low-paying toy factory would be a good catch) it seems likely that the house could be Huggy's former home. Maybe he tried to return to his family? To warn them, to protect or maybe he found it abandoned - and that's why he's staring towards the cameraman at the end. But I also agree with the possibility @Joshua Lewis comes up with - a safe place to go. See how the lights appear to be on at the windows? It oculd be from the streetlamp, but I find it a little too bright. And for a child in distress, finding a house with what looks like a lit up window during the dark night hours, surely seems like a safe point to go. Or it just happened to be the firts house Huggy found. Anyway it's seriously saddening to think he propably realised he could not go inside. He would not fit there and on top of that, if anyone was inside there, would have scared them to death.

I think this is a way of confirming that these experiments are children and not workers like some may have theorized. Just something I noticed! Thought it might be interesting :3

i think some of the most horrifying stuff in a lot of these franchises comes from the implication almost. like that missing middle makes it more scary because we don’t know whats actually happening. your kid is alive and then they’re dead and you dont know and cant know what actually happened to them. not knowing and having to guess is almost always worse than knowing the truth.

[@jeremyyates1026]

Definitely there's a qoute from hp lovecraft "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown". Humans brains can fill in more terrifying details than anything that could actually happen. That's what made bloodborne a fantastic game the lore kept you wanting to play and learning what's going on.

Watching him decode lore in live time and it taking almost an hour just goes to show how seriously he takes each detail. 👏

When you look at the deer that huggy killed, the antlers show that it is either a species of elk or red deer. This would place playtime co in either the western/mountainous regions of the US, or somewhere in Europe such as England or Scotland

It feels like the giant toys could be the employees that went missing, and this one went home to I'm assuming their wife or husband because someone is in the house, the light is on. They were found there, so they didn't go inside, they just stood outside instead of scaring/killing them.

[@tayloranderson7547]

For real life

[@mongoose9851]

That's what I was thinking. And maybe huggy intended to run back to his family, but once he got home realized that either 1. They already moved on, or 2. he would only scare them or put them in danger of getting silenced by Playtime Co The way he was calmly standing in the photo instead of attacking or hiding was like he was waiting to get tranquilized.

[@sarafontanini7051]

this has ALWAYS Been my stance, espcially because finding out what happened to the WORKERS has ALWAYS Been the MAIN MISSION STATEMENT, as its stated to be your main objective in the first chapter. I distinctly remember a psoting telling employees that they MUST adopt an orphan child but I could be compltely wrong.

[@keytra6291]

That’s legitimately so sad. Their first instinct when they were scared and in pain from already being shot was to go home but then they realized they couldn’t go inside because they would only scare the people they care about so they just stood outside, feeling comforted just from being near a place previously associated with peace and safety

[@CowMalicious9479]

It's nice to see that you realize that MLL is an adult and not one of the kids (I can't properly remember if you mentioned that or not, and I'm not bothered to go back in the video to find it) because most ppl say that she was one of the orphans, even though she has the voice of an adult and acts like one. This is quite refreshing actually, thank you!

[@TheKrystalbluefox]

I already put this comment in another video but I think matpat should take a read: What if Poppy was never sealed in the glass case by the employees, but rather the prototype. She is the only toy that seems to want to bring the factory back to life, and with the player being "too perfect to lose" as she says, she could create a new prototype to begin the factory making toys again.

[@tyty6539]

[@itswhatever5043]

I haven’t seen anyone else talk about this but there was a light on in one of the windows of that house Huggy was standing in front of. I don’t think it just the glare from the street lamp either, the angle would be odd and there’s no way the light reaches that far. Someone may very well have been home; maybe someone Huggy knew before getting turned into a toy. That could be why he’s frozen-he doesn’t know what to do know that he’s gotten this far, and he has no way of letting anyone know what’s been done to him or that he even needs help in the first place.

[@AjOkami]

Watching this I had the same reaction as Ash where I felt the moment when Huggy was standing outside the house. I think MatPat is correct, that the kid is standing outside the house. My first instinct was "oh he went home, he went back to the place where someone promised to love him and keep him safe."

[@stevenedmonson]

I like that Matt listened to a whole hour of Donkey Kong Country Aquatic Ambience in his off time. 9:50

The toys could also be some of Playtime Co's employees. One of the lines the "Doctor" said in his tape was "What if the people we have working for us aren't people?" It'd be harder to train young children how to use factory equipment rather than using employees who already know how to use it.

The feel that Huggy was meant as an Obedient experiment and he being the main one in these VHS Teaser seem to also support the idea of the rebelion, finally remembering details, like home.

15:46 This actually prompted me to double check whether or not Huggy still wore the bow in chapter 1 and according to in-game images he did. And this video actually brought up a question with me. If some sort of remaining part of the larger toys had some compulsion that could draw them back towards some link to their human lives, what kept them in the factory after Playtime Co. collapsed? They spent 10 years essentially unsupervised by anyone from the factory and they seemingly remained that entire time. So that leaves a question: were they just locked in when the factory came down, or is there something else that’s been keeping them inside as some sort of instinctive thing?

[@tanyaoxendine-hidalgo4120]

Great question! I wonder if this video holds the answer in that, if Huggy got there and just stood there long enough to essentially let himself get caught, maybe he realized that he could never go home. The video hints that The Prototype helped him get into the vents and I wouldn’t be surprised if he helped orchestrate Huggy getting out. Maybe the original plan for the toys was to try and escape, but after realizing they could never be accepted in the outside world, they just stay in their prison?
