Five Nights at Freddy's Pitch Meeting

Step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Five Nights At Freddy’s!

Five Nights At Freddy’s is an incredibly popular video game with a deep lore that people seem to be obsessed with. But does a jump-scary video game translate well to a two-hour-long feature film with minimal jumpscares and a whole lot of sleeping?

Five Nights At Freddy’s definitely raises some questions. Like why are we spending so much time in a field of dreams? How is there only like one jumpscare in this thing? How does William Afton actually control these things, and how does knowing he’s evil change that for them? Does that cop not have any cop stuff to do?

To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Five Nights At Freddy’s!

Being in this Pitch Meeting was TIGHT!

[JBKiser]

If nothing else, Ryan George is a man of his friggin word. In his last Revisited episode, he answered a question about 'what happened to the 'get off my back' phrase?' He said he forgot it was a thing and would use it in the next episode. And he kept his word and used it here. Ryan, if you see this, thank you for just being an honest and upstanding guy. You deserve all the respect.

As someone who's brand-new to all this lore, the most fantastical thing about the FNAF universe to me is that a closed-down pizzeria needs a night watchman instead of doing what every other restaurant does and just lock the door.

When Yellow Rabbit was unmasked to be revealed as career counselor it felt like an episode of Scooby Doo. Add to the fact He was played by Matthew Lillard who portrayed Shaggy. Felt like alternate universe where Mystery Inc.'s gang is animatronics.

As a HUGE fan of this channel, seeing this was amazing!

[smugsneasel]

That "Oh my God, we're gonna be rich" was the PERFECT way to close this off. Can't think of anything better.

I also liked how the aunt was wealthy enough to pay a lawyer to follow her around all the time, offer 1k to trash a pizza joint, but also be desperate for the social security check for the girl (which was clearly a lot of money considering Mike's opulent lifestyle...)

[themightybullfrog]

Love the part where Mike has to get his super special "remember my brother" sleep at work instead of just sleeping during the day like you'd normally do on Night Shift.

Man is dedicated to his circadian rhythm!

The "Thank God" after the "all these people get killed" was hilarious af 😂

[TheLivingThanos]

It's amazing to see such a big YouTuber give growing Influencers like MatPat a chance to shine

[TherionBlueblood]

The remark about the cupcake getting the most screen time and the whole dream sequence really hit home for me.

[vitopellegrini]

My entire theater started claping at the "I always come back" line, and I was just there assuming it meant something and clapping out of pure peer presure.

[bombaya]

To have MatPat cameo for the exact same time as in the movie is uncanny. Nice job

[blytheproductions]

Never thought I'd see the day where FNAF would be on a pitch meeting

[dropboxmoabit]

Love how Ryan actually did bring back the "get all the way off of my back" catchphrase back after he was reminded abouth this in the last Revisited episode. A man of his word.

[TheRogueCommand]

I never thought I would compare these two movies…but I think FNAF could have benefited from Night at the Museum’s story structure. Like having the basic lore taken care of first night, then gradually the MC finds out more relevant info. Also the twist villain appearing more than once so their reveal ACTUALLY has some weight to it.

I like how Abby took the time to add color to her drawing while her brother was fighting an evil murderer in a bunny suit

[chrisjags]

As someone who never played FNAF, I think this Pitch Meeting was enough for me forever

[malint]

Just happy that Ryan included the "all the way off my back" catchphrase after being reminded in the last revisited pitch meeting. That's the kind of continuity I buy into.

I love the frustration in Producer Guy's voice when he asks "With what money?"
