Have you ever been curious what the production for Part 1 of An Undeniably Canon FNaF Timeline was like? Fear not, for I have finally gotten around to putting this together to show some of the endoskeletons hiding in my fourth closet.

    Bonus Fact - The original title for An Undeniably Canon FNaF Timeline was going to be "An Objectiver and Truer FNaF Timeline". I did not do this as it was stupid.
  • Imagine someone new to the fnaf lore, and someone actually thinks that the whole series happened over 5 dollars
  • Ferdinand von Bernard is singlehandedly the best character in this timeline, and anyone who says otherwise is kidding themselves
  • @cjaymeme
    The minigame artstyle that these videos have formed is probably my favorite style for FNaF stuff now. It's recognizable and lends itself to absurd comedy very well. It was a great choice to centralize with it, as it really helps give the series its own identity. Great job, and keep up the great work!
  • I'm glad you remade it, in the first one you sounded like you were dead inside but in the remake you narrated much better
  • My headcanon for this timeline is that Nightmare is just a random audio disk or two that Ferdinand forgot to put back om. When William went to clean up the training simulation he brought along Trevor as he had no other friends and he couldn't find cheap help online. Trevor found the discs and upon picking them up, his bear like appearence and the malfunctioning audio signals from the devices low battery made him look like the horrible death trap that was the unalterered golden grizzly. Night 6 is just Trevor trying give William the discs so he can put them away and William thinking that Trevor is Ferdinand coming to eat his soul.

    One of my favorite gags has to be William getting the pink kicked out of him, coupled with the redrawing of the famous meme as William, it's perfect.
  • Future potential gags. Roxanne was created by an engineer basing the designs off an "objectively correct" depiction of Foxy. The source for the design was not checked. The reason my Glamrock doesn't listen to Vanessa is because an engineer named Wally reclassified her as "Creature" after he found her wearing her costume. Making Law 2 ineffective. The reason why Glamrock needs to be recharged so frequently is because he lacks the central battery like all the other animatronics. Because they just HAD to put a cake in there. Also, the Pizzaplex downsized the ENTIRETY of the engineering department. The last thing they did was design the machine found in parts and services, which was intended to be an attraction, until someone brought up Mangle. Engineering wasn't fired without due cause. The reason the Bonnie anamtronic is permanently out of service is because they attempted to recreate Battlebots. The engineer who programmed Roxannes' self-doubt was a sadist. Montgomery is actually a crocodile. Gator is his last name. He is also not waterproof. Thats why they changed it to a ball pit. The reason why Monty is so strong is that the design team thought he was built for outdoor golf, not indoor golf. Thus, he is terrible at minigolf.

    I actually really do like the theory of the shadows being victims of springlock failures that didn't die inside the suit itself.
  • @Hydra2054
    12:01 your laugh warms my heart for some reason, it's so pure to listen to laughter as the animation continues in the background.
  • @BrunkleBrady
    Thank god hydatiid got put on production. I don’t think the video would’ve been the same without his art. Can’t wait for part 2!
  • @beansoule5894
    Charlotte: gets locked outside in the heavy rain and pounds on the glass as afton approaches Literally everyone else in the building: I missed the part where that was my problem.
  • @exallted
    I honestly can't wait for part two. All the work that goes into these are truly staggering, and I can't believe what the next one is going to take. Keep up the great work!
  • Behind the scenes question: How were you able to videotape the illustrious Ferdinand Von Bernard? Was he consenting to being taped, or were you just hiding in the shadows?
  • @leedavis1345
    Even though you've suggested a November release for part 2, don't rush it to be done by then. Take your time, the people can wait. That's what happened to Security Breach, it got rushed after being delayed constantly to make it bigger and better and so it was buggy when it released and most people hated it for that. Don't make the same mistake
  • @dangaspar3242
    The amount of effort put into this is genuinely amazing. The amazing art style perfect for a comical FNAF lore video,the little details in basically every frame,the narration,consistent jokes through all of it,all of that genuinely makes this one of,if not my favorite "Comical FNAF" kind of video. Also,funny story,I actually only started to learn about DSaF recently,and my God,when I saw the Real Fredbear I was like "FERDINAND IS IN THIS GAME?!" and proceeded to barely call him by his actual name,"Real Fredbear".
  • It's always interesting seeing explained behind the scene stuff, mostly because all of my behind the scene works can best be summarized as "IDK I thought it would be neat/funny" or "I noticed something accidentally that turned out to be actually pretty clever and no one noticed at the start of it so I now have to gaslight the few people who see my stuff into thinking it how brilliant I am" :V
  • By the way, in a community post you mentioned Eleanor divorced Afton after he spoiled Star Wars. My question is, did this happen before or after she fused with Ballora? I really like the idea of a dancing ballet robot in a courtroom filing for divorce.
  • Take your time on part two! Don't overwork yourself! We're all super excited and willing to wait.
