The Yarnaby Reveal is LYING to you! | Poppy Playtime Theory

The latest Poppy Playtime teaser trailer dropped and it finally revealed Yarnaby and showed off some of the areas we will visit in chapter 4!

But, if you pay attention, not everything is quite as it seems!

In this video I break down the interesting parts of the teaser trailer, reveal some of the secrets and as always, give my theories on how it could relate to chapter 4 and the rest of the series.

Building on the Yarnaby being like a pet excited to see their owner, the eye on the TV changes to a more happier shape before going red and once the person is in view. I also can’t explain it but when Yarnaby opens their mouth it doesn’t look aggressive, it looks like a happy smile.

[James-hqvx]

One thing I noticed is that Poe the smiling critter didn't even notice Yarnaby approach them before he stepped on them killing them. Either they distracted or Yarnaby has sound proof steps. So you aren't able to hear him approach you and he can kill you just like that. If that's the case, the T.V eyes will be very important to survive Yarnaby if he's an enemy alerting you if he's there or not.

Honestly, I find Yarnaby way scarier with its face shut and smiling. Something about that blank stare is way more freaky.

The reports are describing how Yarnaby gets aggressive with anyone that isn’t Sawyer, but it didn’t mention how other bigger bodies and Yarnaby feel about each other. Maybe Yarnaby was locked down here for another reason besides being animalistic and difficult to communicate with. And maybe Huggy found his way down here

[Cinnalock]

I like the detail of Yarnaby's second set of teeth being at the top of his neck. His human equivalent, Quinn, loved taking the heads off of the toys and switching them around. I wonder if something will happen where Yarnaby's head gets taken off but he's still dangerous and able to attack us using the set of teeth at his neck.

I saw yarnaby and thought "aww he's so cu- OH GOD"

[Metalkatt]

You know, that would make sense for the end of the trailer. Yarnaby opens his mouth, yes, but he doesn't seem aggressive. It's like he's going :D and tipping his head. If that's Harley, it would make sense that Yarnaby's happy to see him.

If characters like Harley Sawyer or surviving orphans do eventually appear in chapter 4 or another chapter, I'm curious to see what human models will look like under Poppy Playtime's art direction.

6:47 also that might have been him attempting to smile I mean he did tilt his head when he opened his mouth

[jeremyhenry]

I find it interesting that the red smoke can be seen being pumped into the cells. So besides it being used to put the orphans to sleep, it was also used to ''pacify'' experiments. This in combination with the large crates makes me believe the red smoke was used as a sedative in order to safely transport experiments.

Tbh, when the light first revealed yarnaby, i was honestly disappointed because he looks kinda derpy, but the demogorgon mouth makes him kinda awesome now

[KSClaw]

Your analysis gave me the realization (probably something others have realized already), that through all this time, we are literally being *played* with. In a game that takes place in a screwed up toy factory.

Huggy Wuggy hunting us (essentially, a deadly game of catch)
Mommy Longlegs making us play games, in return for a code she wasn't gonna give us
Catnap playing with us, like a cat plays with a mouse. (Including Miss Delight and her statues? game from Heck)
And if that doctor is the main villain of this chapter... well, we're a new plaything for a mad scientist, who is probably happy about getting a new subject to experiment with.

[SuperDead]

i think this monster is blind, and use echo location to "see"
that would explain the clicking sound
the "eyes" on the screen spot you, make a sound and it goes to the location

[smappdooda]

I do love the idea that Yarnaby was happy to see the person in the trailer. Like his mouth opening was him smiling and going

[pinkmilkmwa]

6:49 now that u said yarnaby couldve been being friendly, it actually looks like hes smiling when he opens his mouth instead of ready to attack lol... cute 😭❤️

esp w the music and present, hes like "ta da!"

[Veldigoob]

The premiere hasnt even ended yet and u already made a 10 min vid about it 😭

[monroerobbins]

Am I the only one that loves Yarnaby? Like, unironically, he just seems so cute. :) both faces, he just kinda reminds me of a pitbull smiling! Yes, it can look scary, but it’s just a happy doggo, he just *looks* scary, and wants to defend its owner and follow orders. I just kinda hope that Yarnaby isn’t immediately murdered without some pondering, cause if it is the case that Yarnaby is just like a loyal guard dog… that feels kinda wrong, and really sad.

[Chriszapis]

Yarnaby looks so goofy until he split his mouth like a fucking demogorgon-ish sleep paralysis demon

[Roze_aye]

i severily hope yarnabys role in the game is similar to the xenomorphs. the catnap easter eggs as hes following you in chapter 3 was a huge tease. but this time i would really adore a toy that is actually actively hunting you and you need to be on your toes all throughout.

The scripted horror moments are great. but an actual constant dread would be *KILLER*

[georgemeadows]

Like how this guy referenced the prototype, it’s seems like everyone’s forgotten about 1006 after Harley appeared

[minthalo]

Having another human down there with the player is such a great idea, I’m really excited to see it works. Also Yarnaby is so cool especially if, like you said, they will implement music into the characters! They’re also keeping the theme of ending the toys’ names with the “ee” sound.
