Let me know if I missed any hoaxes and if you guys want the theories ranking (or if i should never rank again🥀)
also no that hoax that you made when you were 7 doesn’t count

edit: for people asking, the background footage is gameplay from the FNAF 1 remake

Man I could never truly explain how great it was to be a Fnaf fan from 2014-2017 to someone who got into the series with the recent entries/movie, early hoaxes were a huge part of that.

No ones mentioning that the edited Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza was so prevalent that it was entered onto google maps in 2014 lmao

Life was peak when people thought fnaf was real

The purple guy animatronic thing is iconic but it looks terrible lol, even as a kid I knew it was blatantly fake and I was GULLIBLE

The early days of Fnaf were truly a time to be alive for horror game enjoyers

these are gen Z’s version of finding Mew under the truck and unlocking Sonic in Smash Bros Melee

I swear they tried every possible combination of "adjective + animatronic" names
What's still left? Funtime Ballora? Golden Springtrap?

not giving irl freddy fazbears pizza S tier is criminal💔

"Sparky the dog" is the FNAF version of "Mew under the truck"

the thing with "mike kill all" that i hate is that it's just the classic children's song London Bridge is Falling Down.

i can't believe that they predicted the fnaf lore in the 18th century!!!!

i love how almost all of these hoaxes are like. monster hunter subspecies of existing animatronics

Couldn't agree more on Sparky. Besides being the first hoax ever, that edit matched the FNAF1 vibe perfectly.
Great video! 🔥🔥🔥

Bruh these hoaxes are older then like 90% of current FNAF fandom

My favourite rumour has to be the Fredbear jump scare one from ucn where everyone called cap on it only for it to genuinely be real.

The absolute whiplash that had was crazy.

Imagine if there was an actual Purple Guy animatronic. There would've been some creep who built an animatronic inspired by a serial killer who had claimed the lives of many innocent children. It actually would've been a cool way that Scott could've taken the series post-FNAF3/4. Sister Location is literally about a bunch of animatronics designed to kill kids.

The Purple Guy animatronic would be named Willy, and he would be created by a mysterious company called Afton Robotics. The material is now ripe for FNAF detectives to decode secrets.

The early years of fnaf was wild. From fake teasers to sfm animations to fnaf fan games, I am very glad to be a fan since the beginning

Bro are you playing fnaf in hell???

3:51 Dude. I totally forgot Tater exists. You mentioning his name again just completely reignited so many memories. Holy.

Golden Toy Freddy in C tier is crazy
