THAME GEORY - William Afton is NOT the Yellow Guy! (FNaF)

This video is meant to be parody, I do NOT harbor any ill will towards Matpat or Game Theory.
Anyways, here on THAME GEORY we are gonna solve Midnight Motorist once and for all. And it's a wild ride.
The style of this content is similar to RyeToast, Pastra, and UhYeah. The subject of this content is similar to Markiplier, Game Theory, and FuhNaff.

[@wafagdplqs4421]

The classic controversy ! Who is the Yellow Man ? William ? Henry ? Another character ? Even till this day, this is one of the most complicated and unresolved question raised by a FNaF game. I honestly wonder how many videos about "Solving Midnight Motorist" are on KZbin. This interpretation is very interesting in my opinion and I quite like it ! Even if it's meant to be a parody lmao

[@Florjb0rjTheFloorboard]

The Yellow man is clearly Ness, from Earthbond

[@cavemanbuddyolpal]

@@Florjb0rjTheFloorboard no it’s ness from the Fnaf movie

[@777SilverPhoenix777]

Despite this being a parody, this is a very interesting take, especially with the tales story about Rory being a runaway adding to this now. All the other mini games in FNAF 6 are depicting children killed by William. Would stand to reason that this game was too but fans misinterpreted it because they WANTED to see William.

[@personismaybe0610]

Also in UCN we see some added lore from Susie, Charlotte, and Cassidy. In FNaF 6, we see how Charlotte and Susie both died. We also get mentioned that Cassidy is male in UCN, and the runaway from FNaF 6 is also mentioned to be male.

[@DarkShadic9632]

There is a pretty solid counterargument that follows the same logic, but with the reverse effect on this minigame. Security Puppet shows the moment that Afton became a killer, Fruity Maze shows the moment that Afton became a monster, and Midnight Motorist, right in the middle, shows the moment that Afton truly lost his mind and turned on his family. (Full credit to RyeToast for that)

[@Jay_18697]

Despite this being a GT parody, I really like this theory. It would explain why Cassidy was so vengeful in the first place

[@personismaybe0610]

I know this is a parody, but honestly it’s not a bad idea for what Midnight Motorist could be. Of course there are a few problems to consider, like what is the lump of dirt suppose to represent or how did the springlocks not kill Afton in rain, but it’s still a cool idea.

[@Personian]

This isn't a joke theory

[@philipharwood5201]

I've seen a few serious theories that dabble into similar ideas, with some people saying that William used a spring suit, but it started raining so he panicked and quickly took it off. But Cassidy saw him through the window, which made him panic even more. So when he killed her, he bashed and beat her way more severely compared to his previous victims. Which is why Cassidy (the vengeful spirit) is so pissed off at William. Which I find a very interesting take on Midnight motorist ngl lol 😅

[@personismaybe0610]

@@philipharwood5201one thing to consider is the story “Bunny Call” (unrelated but the story is easily my favorite, bc it’s so well written). It’s about a man hiring a guy in a rabbit mascot costume to scare his family, but the man decides to stop the rabbit from doing so. The man is successful at stopping him, but it’s revealed that the man who was supposed to scare them fell asleep on the job. This shows a unknown man in a mascot rabbit costume breaking into a building for unknown reasons, so it’s possible that this is a parallel to what happened in Midnight Motorist.

[@TerrorByte69420]

I know I'm 9th months late but he probably used a costume with no springlocks in it (like a mascot costume) and the mound of dirt is a shallow grave for Cassidy. This imo makes a lot more sense than it being about the aftons

[@shinyocelot04archive]

Honestly I think the mustard man was a red herring. What if Scott had no lore relevance planned for him, and we thought that there was relevance by default? Was Mr Hippo speaking about this when he told us to not look deep into things?

[@personismaybe0610]

I think the minigame featuring an animatronic or person dressed as an animatronic going to a kid’s home is clearly important.

[@dunnkids7263]

personally i love the explanation of midnight motorist just being some completely irrelevant thing happening in europe, but imo its *probably* meant to be the dad of one of the MCI victims

[@PeterPeter20]

I have some issues with this theory, but firstly I wanna say that you ooened my eyes with the Chica Highschool Years cutscene, everyone and their mother knew this was a somewhat parallel to Willian and his victims, but I've never noticed how "Tomorrow is anorther day" connected back to the walkie-talkie. So yeah, let's go to the issues Why would Willian fixate on that specific child so much he drove into their house? How did he know where they live and drive all the way there? Also, Henry's recordings (and actually, everything around the MCI) gives the idea they were murdered all together in the safe room And like, why the random details if they don't serve any purpose, the dirt mound, Junior's, being "later that night", (like, what night?) The rain being the same as the Security Puppet and there's nothing pointing towards this being Cassidy, if anything, this connects to Charlie since this was the way Toy Chica intended to kidnap the Puppet or smth, but this wouldn't mean anything since we know how Charlotte dies. But yeah, overall the theory made me think some things I would never have thought otherwise, and great video, as always!

I want to see matpat react to this because I think he’d enjoy it quite a lot. Especially since this is a pretty original geory (even if it’s a parody)

[@mutalkai8245]

sounds good but you should've mentioned that animatronic footprints are left by everyone's favorite William Aftons stand - Shadow Fready (I think only a ghost could possibly be there, Golden Fready wouldn't exist back then and Shadow Bonnie simply has different feet)

[@dmuted]

Spring Bonnie has the same feet.

[@tinaherr3856]

7:14 If you base some theories on the house's layout, you are going to have some issues. Mainly because if the minigame house is accurate, it would *only* be a living room and the son's room. And that isn't how houses are built, not even the small ones. So the sprite house we see in Midnight Motorist isn't accurate to what it actually is (in the lore/universe)

[@personismaybe0610]

We also see in both FNaF 4 and Sister Location that the layout of the Afton’s household is consistent.

[@TactlessC]

You know what you can wear in the rain that won't kill you? A felt suit.

[@dillonlandry592]

I’ve seen versions of this theory around for a time and I still think my biggest issue is that the connections between Charlie’s Death/Security Puppet and Midnight Motorist feel so blatantly intentional, and if you try to separate them, then we have 2 major events in the same timeline where 2 different guys drive around 2 different purple cars on 2 different nights that are depicted with the same rainy weather and they both have 2 sons, and both of them have a son depicted as Grey who is characterized as a heavy TV watcher. It’s pretty absurd

Yes.

[@saygoodbye-sfm]

The main reason i never believed that you play as afton in MM is because it doesnt line up with the other minigames. Fruity maze shows us how afton lured susie in with the promise of her dog being alive, security puppet shows us a more detailed look at the death of charlie and her possession of the puppet. It would just be weird to show us two minigames that show William's victims only to william himself, it just doesnt go well with the theme I always took it as another victim story, namely freddy.

[@IronVigilante451]

Now time for my Thamy Gerore: What if it is afton, and he's yellow because this is the only time we actually play as william? After all, purple was used for shadowy characters, since the games had a black backround. William wouldnt see himself as purple. Plus, the security puppet minigame has that rainy night, and the tire tracks. What would those mean if it was just a coincidence? As for the layout of the road/house placement, I say its just simplified. My final point is to everyone saying its some book character from tales books. To that I say, Books arent canon. They can show us how things worked (mechanics), but not how things happened (history). So Orange guy is either Henry or William. Simple as that. Or I guess Jack if we wanna get that crazy.

that's how i saw this as.

[@melanymoon8900]

I think a flaw in this is you say that yellow guy can’t be purple guy cause then he would have to be in his springlock suit to justify yellow instead of purple and he can’t do that because of rain then say that the rain was a red herring so William wore it to lure an mci kid which contradicts your previous statement

If you paid attention, I actually say that William would have showed up before the rain started.

[@thedarkdevil1661]

(My theory/head canon on the full "Murder timeline" is in my comment's replies) 11:52 if the runaway kid is cassidy then what about the story after that. "I'll stand outside their school, hit them over the head with a shovel, and drag them to the back of my car" sounds more like something cassidy would've been subjucted to to become vengeful, instead of, say....Foxy, Bonnie, or Freddy. I think I heard a theory somewhere that since, in help wanted, the final minigame 1) starts in the fnaf 4 house 2) goes to a pizzeria 3) the person is lured to the backroom by glitchtrap 4) the player becomes freddy that the runaway kid in midnight motorist could be Gabriel A.K.A Freddy. My only counter to that is the orange guy being...Orange. And the only MCI characters associated with orange/gold are cassidy, and Fritz (Foxy, with his orange eyes), and since I thought the last story is about cassidy, I thought the runaway kid was Fritz. Plus i like the idea that Gabriel and Jeremy were friends before the MCI and were the 2 kids that went missing on the same day (June 26th) at the pizzeria, as mentioned in fnaf 1. It's after finding out about these 2 that the police link 3 more cases to the MCI and arrest William the very next day (June 27th) Meaning on UCN it goes: 1) Charlie (William asks Charlie to help him with work) 2) Susie (her dog died and william says they're actually alive) 3) Unknown (A fire at his house, but pretends like he threw himself on it??? Not sure i can explain what that would equate to.) 4) Unknown (Told them he kidnapped several hostages?? I'm assuming the real version was "your friends are all back here having a good time, lets go join them") 5) Runaway kid from midnight motorist (Told them to come, which they wanted to, but were too scared off their alcoholic dad, so William decided "I'll just go to his house" and made the kid smash his window, based on the shards being on the outside, meaning it was smashed from someone wanting to get out.) 6) Cassidy??? (He went to their school, hit them with a shovel, and dragged them to the back of his car, "then I'll tell them they were kidnapped, but I saved them". Definitely sounds likes someone William "shouldn't have killed")

[@thedarkdevil1661]

My theory on all the murders, up until the MCI, is: Charlie dies on November 1st 1983, like in the books, assumedly the day after William's son, the Crying Child, died. (Funnily meaning the Crying Child's birth and death day are both on Halloween, XD) Possibly William was venting his anger out on Charlie/Henry, after the Crying Child's death, telling her he "needed her help with some work", but quickly kills her around the side of the restraunt and drives off. Afton then later sees the puppet acting strange, has the theory Charlie is possessing it, and creates the funtimes to replicate what happened to Charlie (Book William makes circus Baby so he can replicate what happened to Charlie after "the incident"), only for Elizabeth to die on the opening day. One "fine. I'll do it myself" monologue later, and William starts the MCI. Susie is first. Because she looks similar to Elizabeth, that might be why she "was the first". He finds out her dog died, and lures her away, saying that "he's over here". On June 26th 1985 (1985 is when the MCI normally happens + Fnaf 1 says 2 kids went missing on June 26th), he lures 2 more kids, and plans the 3rd for "later that night", coming to their house and luring them away, to "get away from your stupid drunken father". Finally, on June 27th, he goes to a school knocks out and kidnaps a kid, takes them to Freddy's and kills them. William is then arrested later that day. (Fnaf 1 says the day after the 2 kids disappear, someone is arrested)

[@johnsolaas185]

Yellow guy is Dave Miller

[@DJBurns-jq8mn]

I personally only believe 4 options to answer MNM that are actually think are possible. Plz read and feel free to express your opinions respectfully. Option 1 was the William father theory. Option 2: CC is being lured by Shadow Bonnie/Shadow Freddy to Charlie's dead body thus him seeing what looks like the Puppet having killed his friend and that being what he saw making him scared of the original animatronics and Scott's (what's seen in Shadows is misunderstood in the mind of a child) quote from the FNAF 4 days. Option 3: MNM has to be the aftermath of a MCI victim (likely Cassidy) being either abused or lured and taken by William in the Spring Bonnie suit as the Chica cutscenes tell us how William killed the MCI victims with the first being identical to Susie becoming Chica from Fruity Maze and the last one being about William beating up the kid if they don't follow him. And with the new book story, the family has to be Cassidy's parents who were obviously not good at their job and to represent why Cassidy would be so vengeful to begin with. Add that with being stuffed into a animatronic (possibly springlocked) and unable to move properly for many years then we got ourselves a mixture for an angry person. Not to mention Scott said many times he clears up stuff in the next game and UCN (being the next game after FNAF 6) is heavily about Golden Freddy. Option 4: it can also be about Henry and his family coping with Charlie's death as Henry still supposedly has his son Sammy and his Wife as they didn't leave him until after Charlie died. The pile of dirt could be Charlie's grave explaining why he stops and gets out of his car to walk there despite there being no path. The footprints have to be either a Springlock suit, Shadow Freddy or an old mascot suit as they are the only things that have 3 toes and the only ones who would have access to any of them are William or Henry as they made the suits and wore them. It's a stretch but it can make sense

[@LastGoatKnight]

Honestly I am bored of Midnight Motorist already. Every time it gets brought up controversy after controversy follows. So I just leave these theories out and have my own headcanon because it's soo painful to think then rethink the same things again again again and again

[@Taro_Yanada]

I think you should also watch all the Midnight Motorist references in The Curse of Dreadbear, they really shed light on a lot of things that we could speculate about the minigame. It really pissess me off, why people doesn't pay attention to all the MM references in the dlc?

[@chaoraiser2338]

while there is good points you brought up here there are a few problems problem 1 is the gender since at this point its basically confirmed cassidy is a girl despite the fact its a name for both genders which...in a real world sense idk why or how it sounds like a girl name to me problem 2 is if we consider that the fnaf vr ending with being a kid getting lured being well gabriel if we consider that to just be a retelling or just showing a way he lured him considering the suit is different and the layout would be too so its just a way yeah you could say he wouldn't care wether its their birthday's or not but the way you explained it is thats one of the reasons specifically for cassidy but gabriel was also lured on his birthday so that technically doesn't say much and problem 3 is i feel like despite the fact he could have lured a kid that way even tho there's basically no evidence for it that could also apply to the fnaf 2 building if we were to say it was a different time instead of the same night plus nightmare ballon boy is canon so tbf fnaf 2 could have possibly despite not being likely could have been opened and then closed to add the new features unlikely but its an idea plus if we use that idea he could have also just lured charlie that way game wise again gender issue but it is also possible considering it has to do specifically with luring the puppet idk but again just an idea
