Thanks for 80k subscribers everyone! 💜 CORRECTIONS BELOW (Will be updated over time if need be) FNAF 1: I am so sorry about the pronunciation y'all oh my god lmaooo FNAF 3: I missed the Phantom Bonnie hoax, which was another pretty relevant one at that time FNAF 4: Nightmare JJ Hoax popped up around the Halloween update's launch, I did see this but forgot to add it in the script lol. I even remember the day this hoax dropped, so my bad. There's also Nightmare Foxy in the doorway which is pretty uncommon, but that's more of a general Easter egg rather than a secret character one. FNAF 6: Getting mixed signals from the comment section about the William/Henry stuff but I think I was correct in the video. The fact that there's tire tracks after the Security Puppet minigame pretty much confirms that it's William for me. Anyway I also forgot R.A.S.C (Remote Activated Simulated C) (The "C" probably stands for child). They only show up on the blueprints in the insanity ending and they are a little robot thing on wheels that is supposed to be the audio lure you control in FNAF 6.

Scott “retired” to get the people trying to get him cancelled to leave him and the franchise alone (which has thankfully worked, I haven’t heard a word from those “people” since then). In reality, he still has a very active role in it and shows no signs of stopping anytime soon, whether it’s writing books, working on the movies, or helping out and directing Steel Wool.

Not sure if this can be counted as a character, but in FNaF 6 when salvaging someone that’s already at the pizzeria, a cardboard cutout with a wink is there holding a sign that says that there’s no one there because the animatronic is inside. Easiest way to trigger this is to buy Lefty before the fourth salvage, tho I believe Molten Freddy, Scrap Baby, and Scraptrap can be brought in earlier with the purchase of certain items as they’re hiding in them.

[@thechugg4372]

Honestly the "yellow bear" being "golden freddy" makes me think that there was only supposed to be 4 animatronics and fredbear, the animatronic from the old location. But Scott probably changed that because the fifth animatronic being enigmatic was more interesting.

I want to go back to when there were these rumors and we didn’t have the abilities to scour every last inch of the code and break down everything in the game.

You forgot to put Nightmare JJ as one of the secret character of hoaxes For Fnaf 4

[@itsybutsy]

Fun fact: No random chance can be above 65,535. This is due to how CTF uses unsigned short integers in it's random function. Due to the use of this integer format (which only goes up to 65,535), any value above said number gets wrapped around to the other side of the possible values (eg. 65536 would get wrapped around to 0). For this reason, characters like shadow Bonnie actually have a much higher chance of showing up, with the aforementioned character having a 1 in ~16,000 chance of appearing in actuality.

I remember when I was in 4th grade I actually got Shadow Bonnie on Night Four, but everyone thought it was fake and that I was lying and that I didn't get to Night Four. The fact that I remember this even more then almost all of elementary school may say something about me?

[@UpNextDonum]

Real quick There was the hoax of nightmare JJ for Fnaf 4, and apparently “Devil Freddy” was a thing people believed for a bit for UCN

[@AroAce-Popgoes-plush]

Funny how the person who did the nightmare jj covered fnaf hoaxes on their channel like a year or 2 ago (the channel name is gomotion)

Markiplier hid a golden freddy face and some people believed it? I never spotted that also I remember watching jacksepticeye's fnaf sl part 2 video and spotting mangle on the top of his screen but after I watched it closely I am pretty sure it fake. Also good job on the 80K man.

I swear on my life that I encountered shadow toy bonnie once in Fnaf 2 and didn’t crash my game. All he did was fade away much like how Golden Freddy did. Even I was surprised as I expected him to crash my game!

[@NCcatlady]

Yeah I encountered him twice on night 4 literally last night. He didn’t get to my office though… and I didn’t know he was rare

When I was much younger (around 4-5 years old) I would go to my friend’s house and google FNaF stuff and saw the fake purple guy animatronic and we thought it was real and told my friends about it and the “lore guy” (which is a few months younger than me) asked questions about the *lore* and I would answer them without knowing the full gist of the *lore* and guessed about basically everything and my friend started believing everything fnaf related that I answered and we even had a huge headcanon where golden Freddy was short and wasn’t used to walking because he kept teleporting and I don’t know how to end this pretty long comment so I am just gonna say “Nice video”

[@JD_the_fox]

2:54 There was also a hoax where if you look at the kitchen camera on night 5 he will be there and he will jumscare you on the camera instantly getting rid of the power and then he will jumpscare you

somewhere on the road in the midnight motorist second minigame you can find williams buried wife, as well as an animatronics footprints once you find the footprints at the back of the house. i also agree that the orange man is william, the seated one is michael and the escaper is cc(crying child). it only makes sense for me this way since we already know that cc (crying child) likes to run away to the restaurant.generally it must be timely that william killed his wife, got frustrated and started to drink.i believe that he mightve been driving back from killing charlotte. henry might be mad from finding out or from something william did hence he isnt that legally clean. i hope its understandable, much love.

[@yeezy-ye]

Cc is 100% NOT Cassidy. If you didn't know golden freddy has 2 souls,one bieng cc and the other Cassidy

You forgot to talk about the Halloween nightmare variants... They would only appear during Halloween. I know they are seasonal but they are only seen once a year so I think it reasonably counts.

[@youraveragerobloxsweat]

as someone who was born in 2012, 2 years after the realise of fnaf 1 i did somewhat fall for some hoaxes like sparkey and golden toy freddy but around that time i was like 6 or 5 so gimme a break but still playing fnaf 2 i would think i would see golden toy freddy but then i would just realize its my brain trying to re-color toy freddy

6:55 i was one of the people that believed purple guy animatronic was real, even with it being an edit, only because fnaf 2 had other instances of secret characters being edits of existing characters (shadow freddy, mentioned earlier in the video, is an edit of withered bonnie if i'm remembering correctly)

I'm a month late and someone's probably already pointed it out, but Golden Freddy was a known name before Markiplier popularized it by renaming his second video. It was originally called "IT GETS WORSE" before Golden Freddy started getting more popular in the community
