Why Gregory Is The Crying Child (Five Nights at Freddy's Security Breach Theory)

Why MatPat Might Actually Be Right... - (Five Nights at Freddy's Security Breach Theory)
Hey everyone!!!! In today's video we talk about how MatPat's recent FNAF Game Theory on The Game Theorists might actually be right! This FNAF Game Theory is amazing and I have actually had this FNAF Security Breach theory for a while! I hope you all enjoy the video :)

I am NOT trying to say MatPat stole my idea at all btw 😂 I just thought the parallels were funny

[LunaWitcher]

The fact that the time-travelling ball pit theory doesn't sound like that much of a stretch says a lot about the lore of this franchise.

[Des]

The parallels are so hilarious. It's so shocking to see two different people think the same thing and pratically say the same things.😂😂

[springtrap_]

I got a theory about the choice of the word "broken"... So as some of us remember from the dawko interview/charity streams, steelwool confirmed that scott cawthon gave them some stuff to put in the game (even John talked about it) and this sentence might be one of these things that's why it changed

[TaeRose]

I just feel so bad for matpat. I mean the theory makes a lot of sense and he doesn’t deserve all the hate. It’s also really funny that you guys have been talking about the same thing for a while lol.

[adventurekitty]

This is like the 7th video I've seen on this topic. I love hearing what everyone has to say on MatPats theories. Lol

[DoveCalderwood]

We're going to get DLC for this game, Steel Wool have confirmed this, so I'm hoping that will shed some light on things like the Gregorybot question

[uncletjglass]

I thought a lot about how Gregory is supposed to be a small child but he stays up all night long without getting tired, hungry, or needing to go to the bathroom. He also never seems to care about (or maybe even feel) pain, never seems genuinely scared, and doesn't cry other than at the very end of the story. As someone who has spent a LOT of time with little kids, Gregory doesn't act at all like a real kid.

[antidotebrain]

This debate is heavilly reminding me of miketrap vs glitchtrap, pink vs purple, dream vs real. The main thing with this debate is no one wants this to be true bc we all want new characters. Fnaf 6 was supposed to be the end of the afton storyline. I was fine with glitchtrap being the source of a new era of fnaf but now we just have the aftons back! It completely negates fnaf 6 and henrys sacrifice.

[loganentertainment]

You can't deny that Gregory's design is similar to the Crying Child in Fnaf 4, let alone to his eyes going on the fritz when Vanny is close and Freddy mentioning that Gregory looks different when he gets Roxy's eyes.

[ellies_silly_zoo]

Before the game even came out, my thoughts were "What if they throw in a wacky twist at the end saying 'oh look at that, Greg is a robot, who would've thought'?". I'm glad they didn't outright say it in the game, but I can definitely see how it could be true. I'm neither for nor against Gregbot when it comes to whether I think it's true. I'm just against it being a good idea, it's just a low-hanging fruit of an idea from the writers if it's true.

Honestly this game wasn't very good at making us theorize. Another thing is the game basically indirectly telling us that Vanessa and Vanny are the same person, but then suddenly in the fire escape ending and in the therapy recordings, it's another low-lying twist of "oh my god they're not actually the same person?". Really not that interesting, and it's just so in the face with that post-credits shot.

What I'd care about is what Freddy means with "I am not me" (I swear if that's him saying he's Michael) and more lore behind the time-travelling self-duplicating Mr. Hippo Fridge Magnet™. Also why the hell are there *no* customers coming in at 6am? Why does time just stop at 6? Why does getting the third Animatronic destroyed and Freddy update built in advance the time to 6:30 or 7? Are we really expected to believe that the doors are open but nobody's flooding in? And where are the staff that are gonna repair the animatronics? They took quite the beating and aren't really gonna be able to perform at 6, especially because Greggo decides to take in anger out on the animatronics and destroy another one after the "mall" is already open again. And why are there so many arcade machines so far into the future? Did cryptomining create a chip shortage that made everyone not play video games at home anymore? What does Freddy mean by "When I step onto the West Arcade dance floor, I cannot stop myself"? Is he gonna bust out some serious moves? Why doesn't he bust out some serious moves when you come back after getting the repaired head? So many questions besides figuring out whether Regory is a grobot, yet none are answered.

[peblezQ]

This theory has the most evidence, but I really hope it isn't true because I really like Gregory as some random kid who was at the wrong place, wrong time (like all the other victims) except this kid is badass and fights back

[TGOArchive]

MatPat claiming that a Time Traveling Ball Pits just out of no where within a series of discount R.L.Stine books is part of a critical point in the timeline: “Okay yeah that makes sense.”


MatPat claiming that there’s a Crying Child Robot which has plenty of evidence to back up due to many similar scenarios and phenomenas from the original books, to the weird books, to the main games themselves: “PREPOSTEROUS! THE AUDACITY!”

[graciegay]

two things:
1: how gregory introduces himself to freddy gives me big "geraldine" vibes, from wanda vision. So Evan is still a possibility for a name.
2: i do believe the theory, as much as i despise it, but one of matpats peices of evidence is easily disputed, the fact chica says gregorys name was a main point of focus, but vannesa said she learned his name through the faz-watch, so thats a possibility where the rest of the animatronics heard it too.

[Irish_Enderman]

Personally, I still don't think Gregory is a robot,
The animatronics cannot see vanny (exept Roxy) if Gregory was a robot then he wouldn't be able to see her either, it can't be "because the animatronics were hacked" because then Freddy would be able to see her since he wasn't hacked, and when Freddy gets Roxy's eyes he CAN see Vanny, so how would a theoretically robotic Gregory see Vanny? He would need eyes on-par with Roxy's but SHE CAN SEE THROUGH WALLS!
_Credit to shxnon for the following evidence:_
And also the game Upgrades: Unlike Freddy's or the flashlight's, Gregory's are food. MatPat mentions in his theory that it's weird that Gregory doesn't eat, drink or get tired at all throughout the night and because of that he recharges when he's inside Freddy's charging station instead, but it's all the Fizzy Faz he drinks that boost his energy and stamina throughout the night. Hell, even the trophy for getting all sodas it's called "Sugar High" implying it's the excess of sugar that makes Gregory being able to run for longer time and don't get tired. And also when you get around 5:50am and Moon appears, you get the tutorial explaining that the recharge stations aren't working and "can't protect you". So it's most likely that Gregory just enters them with Freddy to be cautious, because imagine how it would've played out the scene where Freddy recharges and Gregory sees Vanny. If Gregory was outside waiting for Freddy to recharge and Vanny appeared out of the blue, Gregory wouldn't have anything to defend himself and Freddy wouldn't be able to protect him.

I completely agree with you and matpat and i don’t understand why people need to hate him only because they don’t agree with his theory he’d only trying to solve The lore of The entire franchise like every theorist

[DPGBehler]

Keep in mind that Scott’s game “Fury’s Rage” had symbolism pointing to FNAF 4. Why? Would make sense if CC from FNAF 4 is Gregory. Just saying. It’s a data point at the very least.

[gracegrapeofficial]

Also with the “GlamMike” theory, notice how they both have holes in their stomachs (Michael got scooped and Freddy has a stomach hatch). I don’t know if the other animatronics have a space in their stomachs for cakes and stuff or not, but I thought it was a pretty cool idea✨

[Xainos]

I was talking to another person through reddit about the Broken line. Broken was two other times in this franchise as well. When baby was talking to Micheal and she mentions that "She's broken" after killing elizabeth and the second time was in UCN when certain animatronics kill you, they mention you are broken and will put you back together. And this goes back to fnaf 1 where phone guy tells you that animatronics sees you as an exposed endoskeleton. So there is a good chance animatronics don't know how to describe someone hurt or dead, but say Broken when something is wrong and this could be a key that who could be talking to CC, someone or some thing with the mentality of an animatronic to describe a human "Broken"

[chanabanannaanimations]

All the stuff MatPat pointed out in the Gregory theory video I actually thought of before the game came out and I'm so excited that so many people are sharing there thoughts on everything even if they disagree
