The Full History of Freddy Fazbear- The Face of FNAF

Today we are taking a look at a whole buncha bears. Fazbears, specifically. From the classic beginnings to his toy phase, to having a sadistically fun time, to glam-rocking out on the big stage, Freddy's history is PACKED. It's time we went through each bear as we follow the path Freddy took to replace the bear populations with variations of himself. Are you ready? Well, let's take a look...

I’m not a KZbinr but I assume this was a LOT more work than your other videos and I’d just like to take a moment to recognize that. Your videos are very entertaining and I hope you’re proud of this, cause you should be!

[@guywithatophat]

one thing I've been thinking about recently is how the bite scene in fnaf 4 shouldn't be a spring lock failure. the way the springlocks work is to pull back the robot parts so a person can get in the suit. but this thing is, in the bite scene fredbear is already in animatronic mode, so the spring locks are already in extended position.

[@emmetstanevich2121]

Yeah, a pneumatic mechanism for an animatronic head shouldn't be able to apply that much force. However, we don't know if it *was* using pneumatics, or if it was using some other mechanism. For example, if it were using a "worm drive" (basically a tipless screw that rotates to move up-and-down,) then it may have been more likely to be able to just "keep going" despite an obstruction.

[@bigpoggers6507]

That’s what I’ve been saying for years and nobody’s ever thought about how the spring locks ever worked to actually realize that

[@flamingphoenix1425]

I think the reason people think that is because that was a cover up type excuse

[@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan]

​@@flamingphoenix1425 here's my thoughts on that: You can't cover it up at a birthday party like that But Michell Afton and co never got called out by news or something like that (as far as we know of) The FNAF universe is stupid (obvious example being that the mci kids actually didn't get found despite customer saying they smell and nobody put two and two together) so yeah, that's why I think it being a cover up could be true. And also it would mean that William could use Michell as a Puppet with how vulnerable Michell is Also how TF do you spell Michel for Michel Afton? Am I doing it right?

[@completelygivingup9413]

One thing about Fredbear. I've only heard one person ever mention this, but it's highly unlikely that it was a springlock failure, because the springlocks weren't locked. Because Fredbear was in 'animatronic mode', there would be no springlocks for moisture to trip (unlike what happened to William Afton). It was likely just the sheer force of the jaw, which makes it all the more unsettling that the jaw has enough force to crunch down on his head

[@thesnailale]

I believe Matpat looked into how much force it would require, and it turns out that Fredbear would’ve had to have been equipped with some pretty heavy duty hydraulics that would be ridiculously powerful for an animatronic. It could just be an oversight from Scott and not mean anything, but if it was intentional, that means William was trying to build killing machines before the bite of ‘83. It has some interesting lore implications if so

[@KalinTheZola]

maybe the mouth closes using springlocks to mask the face from being seen when in suit mode so the illusion isnt broken for the kids and for the body it works in an opposite way with them retracting to fit a body inside

The extremely brief mention of Fnaf movie being disclosed with “it’s not out yet” and moving on without missing a beat was hilarious, and made sense considering any info about Freddy's role would be speculation. Just finishing up the video still but this has been a wonderful video! I can clearly see you’ve put a lot of work into this video and it's definitely living up to the hype!

[@marek1shtar538]

it's kind of funny to think that Freddy the Character the game is named after doesn't have a lot of lore significance other than just being the main guy or namesake of Fazbear entertainment and subsidiaries. It's mostly his variants who have some lore significance or immediate story importance. That being said if the official Freddy Fazbear voice is the one from the mobile game, that kinda blows. It sounds too much like an intern messing with a voice changer. The cut one from Help Wanted definetly "suits" og freddy better imo. Edit: Also rockstar Freddy is a better dad than my own lol

[@bentheg9793]

I like to think the original animatronics had semi-specific roles when it came to their vocals. Chica and The Marionette the female vocals obviously. Fredbear was the countertenor (I like to think he sang in falsetto a lot) or had a very large vocal range. Bonnie was the lead tenor and often sang the main melody. Spring Bonnie, another tenor, had a voice like Jimmy Dodd from The Mickey Mouse Club Foxy was the baritone Freddy Fazbear was the bass (I like to think he was voiced by Thurl Ravenscroft in-universe)

[@Saltedroastedcaramel]

I think that was the result of the game becoming a franchise. Remember Fnaf was a black sheep success and the missing children were just easter eggs

[@gamesuarx]

Oh HELL no. It's not just me who disagrees with you about the Freddy's voice bullshit, it's Scott himself. Freddy's VR voice was specifically cut at his request because it "wasn't iconic enough" and "din't fit the character". The AR voices were approved by Scott, so his AR voice objectively fits him more-- Freddy's literal creator thinks so.

[@InfinityOrNone]

Seriously, Lefty's voice is just the creepiest goddamn thing in my opinion. It's like the voice of a small child, having sobbed for hours and cried herself to exhaustion, but now bring used to give you the promise of eternal torture.

[@alexinator-hh5fe]

Honestly, I've always had a bit of a fixation on the crying child. And Nightmare Fredbear but that's mostly due to his voice lines and design. Back to CC, I do find it really odd how he never got a name. We have some info on Elizabeth, a lot of lore on Micheal, more than enough on William. But despite the fact that CC is one of the most important pieces of FNAF 4, is connected to a bite(even if it isn't THE bite), and his death seems to have at the very least shifted Micheal's actions and made him feel an immense amount of regret, we don't ever learn his name. Obviously, there's a bunch of fan theories and fan names but it just feels a bit odd that he's such a massive turning point in the Afton family but we don't get something as simple as a name. Especially considering that we've had the name Jeremy repeated in this franchise at least 3 different times and they're all different people. I wonder if Scott is ever going to formally reveal the name or if it'll just remain an enigma forever.

[@soomi5667]

I have a fixation on him too. I also have this need to protect this poor kid too 🥺 But.. it is strange he never got a name tbh. Like please give him one! he deserves it. I pray he gets one some day lol. Especially since he's a pretty important character especially to mike. Though I'm hoping his character will get more of spotlight in the movies. Like there's a character named "garrett" who a lot of ppl are speculating is the younger brother of mike in the movie. So he could be like the CC in this universe. its at least something haha

[@bland2361]

This was a really well put together video! My personal favorite Freddy is the original (which is probably an unpopular opinion considering how irrelevant he is). I've always felt like the original Freddy Fazbear should have had (or was originally supposed to) have a larger role, both in terms of lore and gameplay in later games. And that's not just because he's the face of the series. Something about the way he acts stands out (mainly in FNaF 1), with him crying or laughing whenever he moves, and with him seemingly being more intelligent/conscious than Bonnie and Chica (such as him hiding from the camera, and him being more aggressive than the others once he's activated), along with just how hype it felt when Freddy finally moved for the first time in FNaF 1. Also, in the cutscenes in-between nights in FNaF 2, it seemed like Freddy WAS going to have a larger role, with us being in his POV, as all the animatronics stare at him (still dont exactly know what that was about). But in the end, he's one of the more irrelevant characters, with his role being equal to Foxy's, and Bonnie's (even Chica has more lore significance).

[@mehmetardaakkusoglu1805]

yeah

[@BlusterTheBenevolent]

The hour-long Fazbear analysis. What a work. Nedd Bear feels like FNAF making fun of itself with the “obscure secondary characters” line, especially since they were 6 games in and bootleg FNAF characters as well as deviantart OCs were unfathomably common. He reminds me a lot of Fake Crash from the Crash Bandicoot games. When a game or story only exists just for fanservice and doesn’t have a terribly big impact on the overall narrative, self-parody can be fun like that.

[@the_godbodor7026]

My favorite Freddy is probably Withered Freddy. He's the most iconic Freddy aside from thr original and feels like something you'd see at a animatronic entertainment restaurant like Chuck E Cheese if he was fixed.

[@dragoflame9434]

The way he looms over you in the office in fnaf 2 is so unsettling aswell. his design and all of his camera renders are just so cool

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

Stuff I have to add: Toy Freddy's gimmick I did like was the weird, listless poses he sometimes takes. His eyes go completely black and empty, he slouches and his head and arms hang entirely unsupported, his microphone still mindlessly gripped in one hand. It gives this off feeling about him, like he's just a puppet or tool that's forgotten about, particularly as he's the least active of the Toys and Withered. Shadow Freddy is actually a recolor of Withered Golden Freddy (and more together than him despite the likely incorporeal nature, as he keeps his head), as is Phantom Freddy - though Phantom Freddy is also missing his right leg below the knee as opposed to just having a different color paint-bucketed over his body and glowing teeth and eyes. Nightmare Freddy actually kneels on the bed if you're looking at him when he jumpscares you. Fun fact. Funtime Freddy walks into the room in HW Night Terrors the same way as Nightmare Fredbear, though Funtime Freddy's appearance is through a rapid switching of renders as the room darkens. I think that level is a little unfinished, between Freddy's tendency to get stuck in the outer hallways, this unfinished animation when he's up close and personal, and the entirely unchanged gameplay to FNaF 4 - though that last one is kind of in-character for him to play along with this game of the hunter and their prey. Dreadbear doesn't appear in Hallway. Nightmare Freddy himself does, chasing you with the sound of the Freddles clinging onto him to remind you that if you slow down, you're at his mercy. Or _their_ mercy, if the Freddles get a say in it. Dreadbear acts as the finishing piece to the Jack-O-tronics, with Grimm Foxy being the Foxy counterpart to FNaF 4's Jack-O-Bonnie and -Chica, as it best references his AI in the original game - he can be slowed down, but he cannot be stopped. Since the others are somewhat more ethereal in nature, it makes sense that the Freddy equivalent would be something more solid than just another hollow, fire-filled suit that would be dispelled entirely by the lights. I never realized 'Are you having fun yet?' was initially from Funtime Freddy, but that's horrifying new knowledge, thank you. The Funtime line bear in TFC is actually Blacktime Freddy, who is an easter egg character I bring up often (because the graphic novels did him dirty as did Scott). Blacktime Freddy was an easter egg in SL, whose monochrome face (which appears on the novel's cover) showed up in place of Ennard's mask. He was a cut character in both SL Custom night and UCN, though his mask did appear again in UCN's SL/FFPS themed office, but he didn't show up as a threat ever in the series. In the novel, he is described as 'like Freddy but looking off and wrong somehow', and is specifically noted to have two hands and yellow eyes. He's Yenndo with a casing on, that's it. Blacktime Freddy's shell was removed hence part of it being on the wall, so his endoskeleton wanders on its own. That seems to be the case here. Anyways, that's him - a Freddy variant all but removed from three different parts of the series, all of which is was intended to be in and all of which he was forgotten from, though given his uncreative name and relatively simple design it's not too surprising. Blacktime Freddy does have a few cool moments in the novel. He operates a massive mirror maze, where everyone gets understandably lost as while some are funhouse mirrors, others are simply normal mirrors that are difficult to tell apart from other paths and many doors within the maze will open and close at random to rearrange the layout, forcing anyone within to move quickly. Freddy calls out while he hunts the group, breaks some mirrors, and they get away eventually. He's noted to be incredibly loud, because he's just outright shouting across the entire sizable maze from the speaker in his chest, which is an entertaining detail. He shows up later using what is presumably an identical luring system to Funtime Freddy, mimicking the crying of a child, and then unfolds himself from a small cubby in a hidden-away hide-and-seek vent section - and after being found, it's his turn, so chasing ensues. After he loses a fight with a 'roid-raging tilt-a-whirl, he shows up as what seems to be a reference to Molten Freddy, sliding in as little more than a pile of wires topped with the front of his head, with the speaker still speaking from within in a stuttering, glitched voice (I think he says something along the lines of "I'm here!"), and William says he's useless and kicks him back out the door. A disappointing end to a character that honestly had some good moments. While it's likely that the "There's nothing I want from you! Except your life~!" line is a reference to the books, it's still noteworthy that the Funtime Freddy that shows up in Count The Ways is.. inexplicable at best. It has a completely different internal design, a lot of things that absolutely could not be hidden, and a different personality - while it is escalated directly from the game version of Funtime Freddy, who plays games of hunting and does make threats, the CTW version is far more direct and has a lot of weird quirks that just don't seem to line up. Rant time about a really rather unrelated topic: As much as _You're The Band_ is closer to FNaF than the rest, I feel like something is lost with a plot point being 'oh he's being possessed by Freddy himself'. 'Freddy himself' is a mascot. Sure, he has a personality, and programmed routines, but he isn't actually alive or the soul possessing him. Despite this, the franchise seems determined to use the dead children as nothing more than fuel for the animatronics to get fitting personalities of their own. This can work, such as with the Toys and Funtimes who are possibly unpossessed and the latter of whom are specifically sentient and separate to souls possessing them. It can work with the Nightmares, given personalities by a third party as they themselves are not possessed at all. It doesn't work for the Withered/classic animatronics, and only really the Golden Duo have escaped this phenomenon, though more because both of their mascots' personalities are more unknown so each has had their characterization centered around their respective spirits. The closest we've ever gotten to this other than them is perhaps a single mention from Circus Baby in SL, who after her stories about her one day on stage, says "I can still hear her, sometimes. Why did that happen?", directly implying that the Funtimes are independently sentient and that Circus Baby and Elizabeth are two different entities, which I suppose means that SL uses the character of Baby and FFPS uses the character of Elizabeth, hence the ridiculous about-face the character does, given the perspectives their various respective lines have. Unless Baby considers William to be her father and acts like her name suggests, which we've seen proven false. Anyways, these are just additions I wanted to make - this video was a long one, but quite enjoyable! I can certainly see how it caused some scheduling changes elsewhere with the amount of effort you put into your editing.

Jokes aside, design-wise, my favourite one has got to be the original one, it's way too iconic. Character-wise - Glamrock, he is simply just so wholesome and comforting to be around. As far as the vibe goes- definitely Nightmare Freddy, his teaser image was fantastic, he's got some Krueger vibes

[@thecanadiandefender1451]

[@demiurgemck]

Fantastic video, as always 😎 That said, I'm not 100% on board with calling Glamrock Freddy a Himbo - I choose to view him as particularly dedicated, self-aware work of art, with a life's purpose for entertaining kids like Gregory - even if it means presenting himself as a oaf. I mostly base this on my favorite quote of his, where he contemplates "if I am mass-produced, am I still art?". (Yes, I know his existential crisis can't be triggered to say it unless you glitch him into the endo basement, but I consider it canon to his intended personality)

I can't help but feel like Freddy was always under-used in his own games following the first. In the first he was this difficult to understand, seemingly, all powerful animatronic. And from then on he's just been replaced everytime, usually with his own recolours.

A phenomenal video- I really enjoyed to longer format. All the information was condensed enough to fit perfectly within one hour while also being entertaining, which is super impressive! Every version of Freddy had a detailed breakdown that said pretty much everything one needs to know about each version. I can’t imagine how much research and effort went into this, but I do know that you should be very proud of what you’ve achieved here. This was a delight to watch! The improvement from the text to speech “era” of the channel up to this documentary of a video is stellar and I seriously can’t wait to see what other content you’ll put out.

[@the_godbodor7026]

Tbh, when everyone else’s favorite animatronic from FNaF 1 was like Foxy or Bonnie, I was a big Freddy fan and as the years went on and we got more versions of each he still holds strong for me. I think he has been a great enemy in the games he appears, usually being tougher than the basic Bonnie and Chica types but not overly tough like Ennard. Plus I have these two Freddy plushies, one big and one small, who I made a joke about being Lord Eyebrows due to how thick and stiff they made the eyebrows with the little one being Brow Jr. Freddy is somehow both consistent yet diverse simultaneously but that makes his consistent appearances never get old since you never know what to expect.

One of the few things I liked about Security Breach was that they found a way to make him a main character again

[@piercelindenberg6842]

I’m of the opinion that the Afton Ending is where the DLC picks up, but I don’t know. He doesn’t appear to be shattered, since he looks to be in pretty good condition other than being grungy. That being said, we don’t see his head, and screwing up the first maintenance mini game proves that Glamrock Freddy can operate without his head. And the difference in Roxy’s endo head between Security Breach and Ruin has her head and teeth looking more like Freddy’s than her own. I don’t know. I hope Glamrock Freddy is okay in Ruin, but we’ll see!

[@notrealnamenotatall2476]

I think so too. That would explain the massive structural damage, since the Pizzaplex doesn't seem to have fire damage.

[@luckysix1015]

I want to share an old Theory I had on Dreadbear it has long been disproven but I think it’s fun to think about. With Glitchtrap’s take over and all the fnaf 4 references I saw it as a sort of parallel to the aftermath of fnaf 4. The build a mangle, and flaming night guard games being William’s stress after the bite, while many of the others being The older brother’s guilt intensifying in the lead up to Halloween ‘83. All leading up to the build a dread bear minigame. Who I saw as an representation of putting the Crying child back together. But as a proper Frankenstein’s monster and not a robot. And maybe becoming Micheal since if he was already a zombie then the scooping thing wouldn’t be a problem. Of course as I said I definitely don’t believe the Dreadbear part anymore but the fall fest 1983 still feels like too much effort for nothing.

[@jimUkay]

For a future video, could we address the issue of Cassidy being irrelevant to the plot of FNAF. Her keeping Afton alive for the sake of 'punishing him' is doing way more damage than good. William seems to be doing fine killing people pain-free? 🤔 This also makes other characters like Michael, Henry, and Charlie irrelevant and making them plot devices instead of character development.

[@soomi5667]

I think she's fine tbh. I like what her purpose is though.. she def should've been a character introduced early on. Same with Michael, Henry, and Charlie.

[@jimUkay]

​@Soomi What I'm saying here is Cassidy did this to punish Afton but he's still able to do damage as a result of her keeping him alive and he's walking around as if he's NOT in pain. So I ask what is she here for when we already have protagonists going after Afton. Afton can use remnant or some other means to stay alive if that's the case. I do agree with you that she should have been introduced earlier in the story. She wasn't because some of us suspect Scott kept adding things (including her), in the story for the sake of keeping the mystery going and in doing so kinda made a mess in his story's structure. I argue that Scott needs to clean up his story's plot before dropping in another game/books.

[@soomi5667]

@@jimUkay Yeah idk lol. In UCN, it seems like he's not able to hurt anyone and that she's fully in control. Though post UCN and going into help wanted.. not even sure on that. Maybe she'll come back or something to finish him. XD When it comes to the other protags.. its not like they can really do what Cassidy is doing. She still wants vengance so.. she's gonna keep at it. I'm assuming the others passed on after 6's fire or might come back somehow. But this is kinda why i mention her being a missing kid from the beginning. I don't mind her just that yknow Scott gave golden freddy a identity in UCN a little late.

[@jimUkay]

​@@soomi5667 yeah, she is doing her vengeance but it's not working. Afton isn't suffering (despite him being in the rotting suite) and is able to do many killings seemingly pain free.

[@soomi5667]

@@jimUkay I guess you could still have a story without Cassidy but at the end of the day.. she's still one of the MCI kids. so she's important in a way lol. A little late but, her being the one to torture Will is neat. I guess if she was more of a threat to William earlier on..maybe it wouldn't much of an issue. Like she's going after him early in the timeline. Kinda like what Charlie does by helping the kids. Though.. she def doesn't go after William when he's killing kids and whatnot since.. I don't think golden Freddy was that important back then haha. It feels more of a recent thing to make the spirit in that Freddy important in UCN. And with that, i would say she's more of a threat to him since he cannot do anything there but die. She's in control, not him. But i def get what your saying in a way.
