they're so good that their standards for themselves mean they can't recognize pen flexes because they're on such a different fucking level! i can understand why they're the one and only youtuber who can rival dan bull himself!
I was a bit afraid you wouldnt react to this seeing as how it wasn't really comedy but realized the whole thing is just a kickass 80s anthem and thats enough by itself, lol.
They did indeed rent the 25,000 balls for that pit. I asked them about how long it all took to pack back up, and they said it took an afternoon to pack all the balls back up to return them.
The lore of the series went from “chucke cheese haunted by kids” to “weird somewhat scifi thing with an immortal killer who uses kids souls and agony to make liquid soul metal and pure agony to build sentient robots to get more kids and then make himself into a computer virus and manipulate a lady into rebuilding his body…etc”
You know, when you started laughing hysterically when you first realized the Thriller homage was happening, your laugh sounded a good deal like Vincent price. You have the perfect villain laugh!
"Your grave of arcade cabinets" could refer to a semi-boss in one of the arcade zones that I think actually throws arcade cabinets at you. "More murderous with each defect" refers to the fact that you severely damage Monty, Roxy, and Chica, making them in some ways even more dangerous. (especially Chica, I don't think she gets easier to avoid in any way.) The end of the video refers to the intercom at the beginning of the game. Freddy also refers to you as superstar throughout the game, explaining the use of superstar. Last thing, Roxy actually plays a keytar in the opening cut scene of the game.
As someone born in 1982 and lived through the 80's, on top of everything else amazing about this song and video is that it's not just "80's". There are actually quite a few different styles of 80's pop, from synth heavy grooves to electric guitar power ballads and this song seamlessly transitions from style to style and captures the spirit of all of them pretty well. In fact the only thing missing is a smashing saxophone solo, but I can understand why that didn't make it in, as I don't think it would fit well anywhere in the song. Still an amazing work.
I was thrilled (pun intended) to see what your reaction would be to their Vincent Price voice-over. Definitely one of my favorite videos of theirs based on visuals alone! If I still worked at CEC, I'd 100% be jamming to this while getting into costume like it's for an action film - would've made the job a hell of a lot more enjoyable! xD Oh, and you are spot on with the stomach hatch assumption. A key feature of FNAF:SB is hiding inside Freddy's stomach hatch and using him to navigate the PizzaPlex. The other animatronics cannot detect you when in there. There's a couple references to that, including "When crammed inside our leading man" given Freddy is the bands lead singer.
@@Thumb_ though there is similarities given Funtime Freddy wasn’t in SB outside of his mask I highly doubt that’s what’s being referenced Also does a casual player who doesn’t care to much about the lore even know about those blueprints
the bear reference in the chorus is because in the game you can get inside freddy, but when he's power is low you can't get inside of him so you can't "bear anymore"
There is something awesome about "modern" 80's music. TWRP, NSP, Protomen and so on. I think it is that the way they go all out. Todd in the Shadows said something once that some songs are the best version of themselves, every little twirl, solo and hook is so well done that they couldn't ever be better than they are. Stupendium has a tendency to hit that sweet spot, here more than ever.
My friend watched this video, asked me about the Greg name, and reacted to Stupendium having a name the same as a kid discovering that their parents have names.
"Dawn Chorus" is the term for when all the birds start chirping in the morning, and it's especially noticeable during mating season. (Stupes taught me a new phrase with this song, yet another reason I love it.)
Sometimes I wonder if words get sad when no one uses them or remembers them and then I remember that as long as The Stupendium is making music they all get used so I don’t have to worry about it.
i swear, this was the best thing to come out of security breach. its been my musical hyperfixation since it came out, and i wouldnt have it any other way. they have no right to be this good at music, though. also everytime you were confused about who each animatronic was i died a little bit inside-
I'm pretty sure that the ball pit scenes and "and the ball pit's been cleaned" line are referencing the first out of three stories in "five nights at Freddy's: Fazbear frights" book series, where the ball pit has a time traveling capabilities for some unknown (and probably dumb) reason. Fans of this book series often count this story as the best one.
True but it could also simply be referencing the Pizzaplex itself, as it has numerous ball pits (or at least one in the daycare, there was another seen in the gameplay trailer but I don't know if they removed that one).
@@kh6853 Yeah, that's what I was referring to. I'm assuming it is still in the game then? I haven't played through the whole thing myself so I don't know.
The other FNAF game where you play as a child is the 4th, but it's set in a bedroom rather than a pizzeria, and Freddy & co. in their Nightmare guises. Scariest before VR. This FNAF 4 Crying Child we play as also looks very similar to Gregory. Stupes also used the Gregory gag in Fright Before Christmas: "Vanny seems to know my name and it's freaking me out "
Yeah, I was anxious to see you react to this, because you were the ONLY reactor that I knew for sure had the background to be absolutely cracked up by the Thriller reference. And I still think you look very nice in that outfit, warm colors really work well for you.
Given the ball put it wouldn’t surprise me if he travelled to the 80’s For those wondering the first story in the fazbear frights series is about a boy getting transported to 1985 using a time travel ball pit and it’s one of the more restrained stories

@@--CHARLIE-- I don’t think it is It’s certainly not given proper explanation (even for this series it’s vague) but the thing does have what seems to be a fair amount of power with the fazcoins materialising, the rabbit overlay and the dad being essentially put into stasis for a few days so time travel doesn’t seem that far fetched Besides Oscar does seem to have full interactions with chip and Mike and his answers are dynamic enough (as in his research appears to actually help at times) that memory shifting doesn’t appear particularly likely
@@jmurray1110 I think its like a memory entity or something. Ghosts in FNaF are just globs of Remnant (echoes of emotions), or Agony (echoes of pain). Either of which would be reasonable for it. The reason the fazcoins materialized was implied to be to keep Oscar happy and oblivious, to make his experience better so that he would keep coming back. His interactions with Chip and Mike are likely the same. But that's just my thoughts. Certainly seems more likely than time travel, especially considering how things in FNaF typically function anyways.
8:10 the bear pun has a deeper mean as in the game Freddy has a power bar that if it runs out you can no longer use him to hide *SPOILER FOR THE GAME IF YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW LOOK AWAY* I also love the part of “will dawn’s chorus be you encore” cause it also relates to the game. When it becomes 6am and you have the chance to leave, you actually have to choice to stay and try and figure out the mystery behind the pizzaplex, being your literal encore.
The animation references fnaf 1. when the office lights go out freddy's eyes glow much like they do when the power went out in that game and he plays the im going to murder the shit out of you theme
This makes me want to break out my neon pink leg warmers and Aqua Net hairspray lol. And the Vincent Price -esque bit at the end? Astonishing! I knew that would break you lololol!!
I saw it more as Micheal Jackson’s thriller and the first part reminded me of the final countdown and the bit at the start reminded me of stranger things
Glamrock Freddy looked so sad when he had to admit he couldn't provide a kickass 80's action anthem. Don't worry, GF! Your turn's coming. I can't agree more that the animation is gloriously smooth, and really pulls you into the world, so you have to watch the video multiple times to get everything. 👍
I was waiting a lot for this reaction since this come out, the thriller reference is one of my favorite things XD I was gonna say the double pun from “you can’t bear any More” but someone already told you in the coments below 😅 also was funny to see you on the screen wearing a similar outfit as stupes on the children park, cool reaction!! Thanks !!
I love Stupendium's Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart song Fragments even though the visuals are just from the game. The song itself slaps though. He was moving or something so he had to keep his effort on visual work lower to compensate, but if had animated that song wholly instead of just the lyrics I wouldn't be shocked to see that the animation slapped. Cosmo the Parrot is Stupes Fnafsona. Such a good design. Also if you had played the games man, you wouldn't believe how many lyrics are so lovingly specific to this game and the whole series omg. The arcade cabinets have been a staple since the second game, revealing so many secrets to the story early on but keeping it cryptic and vague throughout. Basically, while mostly the animatronics are haunted for much of the series, the haunted energy still exists in all the surrounding objects. So yeah, the cabinets are very haunted. And the fictional company in charge of the restaurant chains that keep closing or burning down is so lazy, cruel, uncaring, and corrupted that they reuse parts from previous locations. Aka, many of that stuff is still haunted by either present or past tragedies.
YO Insane Ian! I really respect you taking your time to pause and really try show a genuine reaction to all these videos on UA-cam. especially towards this video (because I really love the fact of modern 80s music conjoining with FNAF). But for real it shows a great amount of effort and love that you put into your work. And that I can really appreciate. Hope to see more of your hilarious moments in future videos. sincerely One Of Your Dear Viewers
Yeah, everyone he works with did an amazing job on this one and he totally nailed the feel of 1980s rock (using 4 digits so this doesn't become confusing in 2080)
This is genuinely my favorite song of all time, I absolutely love everything about it, the incredibly well written lyrics, (which obviously even get better when you've played the game) the vocals, the instrumental, it's all amazing If only the game itself was as good as the song makes it out to be lol
Been waiting with hopeful eyes to see if you’d react. Was happy when it showed up. I love how you instantly picked up on the Vincent price shoutout. A lot of people have no idea the reference to thriller. It makes me feel old hearing all the young reactions lol
altagoose here to drop some info on things missed because you didnt play the game the line "When the power is out you cant bear anymore" is actually a reference to how freddy plays in the game. unlike other fnaf games, in security breach you can hide inside freddy as hes your friend. but he has a battery, and if that battery (power) runs out, you get jumpscared. so you cant be in the bear anymore. thats also what he means when he says "when your crammed in our leading man" hiding in freddy
I normally watch your reaction videos just because I enjoy watching you break everything down - I'm not exactly a lyricist and I'm definitely not a musician, so a lot of the time it's "yes this sounds good, but Mr Ian explains *why* it sounds good". In this specific case, however, your pausing to go over points actually has a bonus side-effect for me in that I am terrible with horror content and it lets me work out if I actually want to watch the video as-is or listen to the song uninterrupted without going in blind and seeing something I can't process properly with no warning.
I haven’t been able to stop listening to this one. It’s been out for a while but I just found it a week ago and I’ve already played it like 50 times😂😂😂 I love his raps but I love when he sings even more!
Not sure if you'll see this, or even if it's their real name, but I've found that "Double-O Oxygen" rolls off the tongue the best for the production team.
First off! Love your reactions! Secondly, one of my favorite of Stupendium discography! Thirdly! Hearing you correctly gender them the whole time is giving me so much life! I’m going to be watching you from now on my friend 🎉❤
*Game Spoilers* Also, the line "Montgomery's ready to tear up the scene, Roxy's got the rock that's just got to be seen, just as soon as Chica's cleaned out the canteen" references the vices (and downfalls) of each of the hostile Glamrocks: Monty has anger issues that cause him to wreck his green room (and other property) and loses his claws, Roxy is obsessed with her appearance and loses her eyes, and Chica overeats to the point of eating literal garbage and loses her beak.
The Thriller callback at the end was a personal favorite of mine. I was born smack in the mid 80's and grew up in the 90's so plenty of 80's music was still bouncing around the radios at the time and my family had a few favorite tunes (aside from the constant country my mom enjoyed..cowgirl at heart that she was)..and of course MJ was a personal favorite of mine. I listen to a Vincent Price cackle at LEAST once every October, and especially on Halloween, if I only listen to it once it's ALWAYS on Halloween...I don't consider it the season without one lol. I think Cosmo was actually supposed to be the Michael analog in this on top of just to fit in with the animatronics of the series because of the red outfit and the decrepit look at the end...like how MJ in Thriller went from his clean red outfit to a zombie after the Vincent Price part.
Pretty sure the animatronic Stupes used was an OC for the song. Looks incredible and wish more people would do the same. It really shows off the sheer level of creativity and dedication he has to his work.
Its kind of funny he said "These games are horrifying" when the games' actual scariness have been going downhill since fnaf 4. Just shows how good Stupendium is at making a atmosphere.
Games themselves may not be scary, but the premises of Help Wanted (the vr one) and this most recent one are actually horrifying imo. A vulnerable young woman being brainwashed by the digitalized ghost of a serial child killer with a god complex in order to have her continue his crimes, and a literal child being hunted down in a gigantic empty mall by the same woman, who is now a full blown killer herself (and probably killed the child's parents, whether it was against her will or not), and several ten-foot-tall homicidal robots, accompanied only by another robot who could potentially turn on him at any second. Maybe I'm just a total wuss but jesus christ that's dark
Controversy aside I prefer the "Out Of The Toybox" aesthetic/song mostly cause it does the evil twisted toy look so well and having Stupendium as a modern wind-up toy singer is quite creative for the theme
I was waiting for this video to come out, and I was not disappointed. Thanks for reacting to this, as I was waiting for to see if you also picked up the thriller reference at the end as well. Until then, see ya around I.I.
So happy we can see the video already, patreons you rock! The all over kill statement picture got me hyped, i knew this was coming. Always happy to see your reaction videos, you are great!
You are correct, as Gregory you do hop into Freddy's Chest Cavity to hide from Animatronics at points in the game. However if he runs out of power, he will just flat out murder you.
"Arcade to arcade, crust to crust" also fits because the Pizzaplex does have multiple arcades, and a variety of eateries inside it, being built as a mega mall. Hell, the first plans for the thing had multiple industrial-scale kitchens - not that the third of it the game has in its fairly incomplete state (it was released two years earlier than intended because of management wanting to capitalize on Christmas _that year_ and not understanding why the pandemic slowed development) is small. I've not see a player of the game _not_ get lost in the gargantuan map, and this is the small one. And yes, "Now maybe you've heard say of some violations; But it's not been since Thursday we've had strangulations" is an absolutely perfect line to describe Fazbear Entertainment, the company behind all the games' locations. They are the definition of cutting corners, be it the uncounted murders they covered up or the state of their locations after a few years of operation or even the simple lack of proper amounts of staff or good equipment. Such a fitting line. The characters are depicted well. Montgomery Gator, the mohawk-bearing alligator bassist, has a short temper and a tendency to resort to violence against inanimate objects (because anything animate near him does not remain so, either one way or the other). Roxanne Wolf is the competitive racer, with her own keytar and serious self-esteem issues, but loves her indoor raceway. Glamrock Chica has... we'll be polite and say 'eating issues' rather than drawing too much attention to the specifics of what it is she eats, but behind that bubbly, slightly serial-killer type exterior there's a lot of literal garbage and rotting food crammed into herself. Freddy Fazbear is the one who helps the main character, Gregory, primarily through use of his possibly-a-microwave internal storage compartment, and spends the game's time he's not using wrestling with the guilt of the decommissioned sentient mascots instead wrestling with his miniscule battery capacity. The Sun and the Moon are together the Daycare Attendant, and I don't even want to try going into what their characters are beyond the definitions of anxiety and nyctophobia, respectively.
I believe that in the games, the kids that has been killed by the animatronics were found in the stomach hatches, so the animatronics basically "ate them"
Please do 'A Little Heart' next. Also, when Christmas time comes, do 'Carol of the Tails' and 'Lights on a Truck' alongside whatever song Stupendium releases for Christmas.
A Little Heart has been on the Patreon poll for a while. Hopefully it will win soon. As for "Lights" I probably won't do that one, as it's not even remotely comedy.
@@zacharythomas5035 I know, I shortened the title because I didn't want to type the whole thing. Regardless, it's not a comedy song, so I won't be reacting to it.
I am also playing through Bioshock rn! Trying to beat it all on survivors mode with no Vita chambers. We shall both wait in the Vita Chamber for the inevitable Stupe Bioshock song. Also, I appreciate being upfront about not knowing about fnaf. Tbh it’s a niche knowledge even more so because this is the 9th in the series. Fully understandable to not know the ins and outs.
Well, if you saw my channel announcement for Bandcamp Friday yesterday, you hopefully won't have to wait long for another Bioshock song featuring Stupes...
and I will say what I said to stupendium themself when Puppy Playtime came out" and this just scares me for the thing that we will not mention because too many people already asked stupendium" aKA bioShock and I will not mention that name again at least not around stupendium noor ask when it's coming out they will get around to it when they're good and ready do not ask
i dont think i saw the full Thriller video before listening to this song so i needed a reminder from the person in question about what it was similar to (Romanian)
At the end of the video and song, horror movie legend Vincent Price does a spoken word poem at the end of Thriller that also begins with the phrase "Darkness falls" and ends with maniacal laughter just as Stupes does here. This section of this song is clearly an homage to that. Hope that helps!
You Can Never Have Too Much Stupendium :D Also Man I'm Jealous You Have The All Over Again Over Kill (i think) If I Have The Money I Know What I'm Getting xD
Funny enough, Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex is actually a mall, instead of a restaurant. Also, if you'd like to know the lore regarding the game, I can tell you about it.
I would love to see you react to his song “wool over our eyes”. He has such amazing wordplay in that one and I don’t believe you need to know much about the game it’s about to appreciate it.
I'm planning on reacting to Chalkeaters this week, but not that one. I've been getting a lot of requests for IT JUST WORKS for a while and it's about time I did that one. But RISE GUYS is on my radar!
NO one was expecting Stupendibird... well, no one outside his Patreon, I guess. :P ... Still, amazing visuals. Like some lost piece of 80s footage or something. I... I want to lick it. Just... so tasty, these visuals. I can't stop watching it... XD -I may have problems... **_**- That animator that Stupes teamed up with has been doing these FNAF shorts for _more_ than a couple years now. Whole fandom is lined with amazing artists, but he's the one you keep seeing and thinking that it's _actually_ the original creators. It's _that_ good... Their name's Coda. :3 ~15:55 - ... Dood... same. Only It was squeeing and giggling. XD

He was moving or something so he had to keep his effort on visual work lower to compensate, but if had animated that song wholly instead of just the lyrics I wouldn't be shocked to see that the animation slapped.
Cosmo the Parrot is Stupes Fnafsona. Such a good design.
Also if you had played the games man, you wouldn't believe how many lyrics are so lovingly specific to this game and the whole series omg. The arcade cabinets have been a staple since the second game, revealing so many secrets to the story early on but keeping it cryptic and vague throughout. Basically, while mostly the animatronics are haunted for much of the series, the haunted energy still exists in all the surrounding objects. So yeah, the cabinets are very haunted. And the fictional company in charge of the restaurant chains that keep closing or burning down is so lazy, cruel, uncaring, and corrupted that they reuse parts from previous locations. Aka, many of that stuff is still haunted by either present or past tragedies.
The game really isn’t great, but the setting is, and this SONG oh my godddd it’s incredible. Stupedium with another banger as always
YO Insane Ian!
I really respect you taking your time to pause and really try show a genuine reaction to all these videos on UA-cam. especially towards this video (because I really love the fact of modern 80s music conjoining with FNAF). But for real it shows a great amount of effort and love that you put into your work. And that I can really appreciate. Hope to see more of your hilarious moments in future videos.
sincerely One Of Your Dear Viewers
Thank you!
Yeah, everyone he works with did an amazing job on this one and he totally nailed the feel of 1980s rock (using 4 digits so this doesn't become confusing in 2080)
This is genuinely my favorite song of all time, I absolutely love everything about it, the incredibly well written lyrics, (which obviously even get better when you've played the game) the vocals, the instrumental, it's all amazing
If only the game itself was as good as the song makes it out to be lol
Been waiting with hopeful eyes to see if you’d react. Was happy when it showed up. I love how you instantly picked up on the Vincent price shoutout. A lot of people have no idea the reference to thriller. It makes me feel old hearing all the young reactions lol
altagoose here to drop some info on things missed because you didnt play the game
the line "When the power is out you cant bear anymore" is actually a reference to how freddy plays in the game. unlike other fnaf games, in security breach you can hide inside freddy as hes your friend. but he has a battery, and if that battery (power) runs out, you get jumpscared. so you cant be in the bear anymore. thats also what he means when he says "when your crammed in our leading man" hiding in freddy
Thank you altagoose!
I normally watch your reaction videos just because I enjoy watching you break everything down - I'm not exactly a lyricist and I'm definitely not a musician, so a lot of the time it's "yes this sounds good, but Mr Ian explains *why* it sounds good". In this specific case, however, your pausing to go over points actually has a bonus side-effect for me in that I am terrible with horror content and it lets me work out if I actually want to watch the video as-is or listen to the song uninterrupted without going in blind and seeing something I can't process properly with no warning.
your reactions are always amazing! i was waiting for this!
the stupendium always makes such amazing music like how could i get as talented as them?
Funny thing is, those map bots are the most terrifying things in that game, hands down.
I haven’t been able to stop listening to this one. It’s been out for a while but I just found it a week ago and I’ve already played it like 50 times😂😂😂
I love his raps but I love when he sings even more!
Not sure if you'll see this, or even if it's their real name, but I've found that "Double-O Oxygen" rolls off the tongue the best for the production team.
First off! Love your reactions! Secondly, one of my favorite of Stupendium discography! Thirdly! Hearing you correctly gender them the whole time is giving me so much life! I’m going to be watching you from now on my friend 🎉❤
*Game Spoilers*
Also, the line "Montgomery's ready to tear up the scene, Roxy's got the rock that's just got to be seen, just as soon as Chica's cleaned out the canteen" references the vices (and downfalls) of each of the hostile Glamrocks: Monty has anger issues that cause him to wreck his green room (and other property) and loses his claws, Roxy is obsessed with her appearance and loses her eyes, and Chica overeats to the point of eating literal garbage and loses her beak.
The Thriller callback at the end was a personal favorite of mine. I was born smack in the mid 80's and grew up in the 90's so plenty of 80's music was still bouncing around the radios at the time and my family had a few favorite tunes (aside from the constant country my mom enjoyed..cowgirl at heart that she was)..and of course MJ was a personal favorite of mine. I listen to a Vincent Price cackle at LEAST once every October, and especially on Halloween, if I only listen to it once it's ALWAYS on Halloween...I don't consider it the season without one lol. I think Cosmo was actually supposed to be the Michael analog in this on top of just to fit in with the animatronics of the series because of the red outfit and the decrepit look at the end...like how MJ in Thriller went from his clean red outfit to a zombie after the Vincent Price part.
Shoutouts to coda, the 3d animator for this video! They're in the description!
Amazing work!
So glad to find another person well-versed enough in the chuck e cheese lore to know his actual name💀 also good reaction!!
Pretty sure the animatronic Stupes used was an OC for the song. Looks incredible and wish more people would do the same. It really shows off the sheer level of creativity and dedication he has to his work.
The parrot's name (Stupendium) is Cosmo.
I feel like I said that at some point in the video, but maybe I forgot or didn't know then...it's been a while since this one went up 😅
13:27 "Those ARE violations." I can't help but hear that in BDG's voice 😂
Its kind of funny he said "These games are horrifying" when the games' actual scariness have been going downhill since fnaf 4. Just shows how good Stupendium is at making a atmosphere.
Games themselves may not be scary, but the premises of Help Wanted (the vr one) and this most recent one are actually horrifying imo. A vulnerable young woman being brainwashed by the digitalized ghost of a serial child killer with a god complex in order to have her continue his crimes, and a literal child being hunted down in a gigantic empty mall by the same woman, who is now a full blown killer herself (and probably killed the child's parents, whether it was against her will or not), and several ten-foot-tall homicidal robots, accompanied only by another robot who could potentially turn on him at any second. Maybe I'm just a total wuss but jesus christ that's dark
Controversy aside I prefer the "Out Of The Toybox" aesthetic/song mostly cause it does the evil twisted toy look so well and having Stupendium as a modern wind-up toy singer is quite creative for the theme
17:07 yep, and when Freddy runs out of power, you can't Bear anymore
I was waiting for this video to come out, and I was not disappointed. Thanks for reacting to this, as I was waiting for to see if you also picked up the thriller reference at the end as well. Until then, see ya around I.I.
So happy we can see the video already, patreons you rock! The all over kill statement picture got me hyped, i knew this was coming. Always happy to see your reaction videos, you are great!
btw. about the Arcade cabinetts, in the game you have to find and beat like 10 of them to get an ending
You only need to beat princess quests 1,2 +3 to get the save vanny ending I don’t think any of the others are even working
You are correct, as Gregory you do hop into Freddy's Chest Cavity to hide from Animatronics at points in the game. However if he runs out of power, he will just flat out murder you.
I just noticed at the beginning it says "Insane Ian: Comedy Musician & Fashion Icon"
I’m used to correcting reactors about Stupes’ pronouns, but I was pleasantly surprised I didn’t have to!
I love that one of your labels is "Fashion Icon". Plus the jacket and shirt are stupendous.
16:10 "Brilliant"? More like "Priceless"!😁
I dont care for 5 nights at freddys, but this song was spectacular and just shows how talented stupendium is!
animation wasn't stupes btw, they got a friend to do the stupendibirb and animatronic scenes
I never said it was, and I say who animated it at the end.
I was waiting for this reaction! Love your analysis on this stuff, man.
Every stupendium song is a masterpiece. Change my mind.
My first time watching, I missed the keytar... somehow.
Then I realized it's the 80s so the keytar is as necessary as neon
Thats a lucky guess. That is exactly correct, Gregory hides inside of freddies stomach hatch, which btw is actually for cake.
this guys literally the eminem of comedy music
"Arcade to arcade, crust to crust" also fits because the Pizzaplex does have multiple arcades, and a variety of eateries inside it, being built as a mega mall. Hell, the first plans for the thing had multiple industrial-scale kitchens - not that the third of it the game has in its fairly incomplete state (it was released two years earlier than intended because of management wanting to capitalize on Christmas _that year_ and not understanding why the pandemic slowed development) is small. I've not see a player of the game _not_ get lost in the gargantuan map, and this is the small one.
And yes, "Now maybe you've heard say of some violations; But it's not been since Thursday we've had strangulations" is an absolutely perfect line to describe Fazbear Entertainment, the company behind all the games' locations. They are the definition of cutting corners, be it the uncounted murders they covered up or the state of their locations after a few years of operation or even the simple lack of proper amounts of staff or good equipment. Such a fitting line.
The characters are depicted well. Montgomery Gator, the mohawk-bearing alligator bassist, has a short temper and a tendency to resort to violence against inanimate objects (because anything animate near him does not remain so, either one way or the other). Roxanne Wolf is the competitive racer, with her own keytar and serious self-esteem issues, but loves her indoor raceway. Glamrock Chica has... we'll be polite and say 'eating issues' rather than drawing too much attention to the specifics of what it is she eats, but behind that bubbly, slightly serial-killer type exterior there's a lot of literal garbage and rotting food crammed into herself. Freddy Fazbear is the one who helps the main character, Gregory, primarily through use of his possibly-a-microwave internal storage compartment, and spends the game's time he's not using wrestling with the guilt of the decommissioned sentient mascots instead wrestling with his miniscule battery capacity. The Sun and the Moon are together the Daycare Attendant, and I don't even want to try going into what their characters are beyond the definitions of anxiety and nyctophobia, respectively.
Aww yeah, Ian’s back!!! And you’ve got the shirt!!!
I believe that in the games, the kids that has been killed by the animatronics were found in the stomach hatches, so the animatronics basically "ate them"
Please do 'A Little Heart' next. Also, when Christmas time comes, do 'Carol of the Tails' and 'Lights on a Truck' alongside whatever song Stupendium releases for Christmas.
A Little Heart has been on the Patreon poll for a while. Hopefully it will win soon. As for "Lights" I probably won't do that one, as it's not even remotely comedy.
@@Insaneian I said Lights on a Truck. It's another Stupendium song
@@zacharythomas5035 I know, I shortened the title because I didn't want to type the whole thing. Regardless, it's not a comedy song, so I won't be reacting to it.
@@Insaneian k
I totally forgot The Stupendium's real name is Gregory before you made that joke lmao
Wait no uhhhh I mean their real name is Stuart Pendium what do you mean
😳 my name is Gregory. That makes two real people who have the same name as me. My dad and Stupes
can somebody explain the “Gregory” thing I’m confused
Check the comments, someone has answered that. 😁
I am also playing through Bioshock rn! Trying to beat it all on survivors mode with no Vita chambers. We shall both wait in the Vita Chamber for the inevitable Stupe Bioshock song.
Also, I appreciate being upfront about not knowing about fnaf. Tbh it’s a niche knowledge even more so because this is the 9th in the series. Fully understandable to not know the ins and outs.
Well, if you saw my channel announcement for Bandcamp Friday yesterday, you hopefully won't have to wait long for another Bioshock song featuring Stupes...
and I will say what I said to stupendium themself when Puppy Playtime came out" and this just scares me for the thing that we will not mention because too many people already asked stupendium" aKA bioShock and I will not mention that name again at least not around stupendium noor ask when it's coming out they will get around to it when they're good and ready do not ask
14:43 If you found that horrifying, you're lucky this song didn't include DJ Music Man
Another addition to Stupendium's list of classics!
I feel it funny that you and this other guy called What It Do Dave choose to react to the same song on the same day
Ha! Nice! Dave is great, I love his reactions...he actually reacted to one of my older songs last Halloween!
in security breach Gregory does crawl inside freddy fazbears stomach hatch.
Stup: Not a PenFlex
This Song: Plays on Words so Much it's a Fucking Rap.
i dont think i saw the full Thriller video before listening to this song
so i needed a reminder from the person in question about what it was similar to
(Romanian)
At the end of the video and song, horror movie legend Vincent Price does a spoken word poem at the end of Thriller that also begins with the phrase "Darkness falls" and ends with maniacal laughter just as Stupes does here. This section of this song is clearly an homage to that. Hope that helps!
@@Insaneian of course i watched the full thriller video right after i got the answer in a comment.
Nice to know the name of that voice though. Thanks
Ian wearing the Stupendium drip
I wished the game was this good
Congratulations. My wanting to see this means you got $2 out of me. It was worth
Thanks, I appreciate it!
OH I WAS WAITING FOR YOUR REACTION, LETS FUCKING GO
Love your content Ian. Keep blessing up with your analysis’!
Love your outfit! I must say it looks Stupendous!
Until now I realised A pizza the action was a pun of A piece-of the action…
You Can Never Have Too Much Stupendium :D
Also Man I'm Jealous You Have The All Over Again Over Kill (i think) If I Have The Money I Know What I'm Getting xD
Loving the drip you are wearing! Been waiting for this reaction!
Funny enough, Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex is actually a mall, instead of a restaurant. Also, if you'd like to know the lore regarding the game, I can tell you about it.
Stupendium is just good at everything they do
*They do. Stupes uses they/them pronouns. But yes!
20:20 no no
t
I don't have any Hasselhoff reference so for me it kept giving me Dr frank n furter vibes here n there.
19:03 go support Stenium
I would love to see you react to his song “wool over our eyes”. He has such amazing wordplay in that one and I don’t believe you need to know much about the game it’s about to appreciate it.
I already have! Since it's not a comedy song tho it's only available exclusively on my Patreon.
@@Insaneian oh, dang
This is a good one!
"Come Pick your Destiny"
Is that a subtle reference to the 'Pick of Destiny' with Jack Black?
I'd love if it was.
Security breach actually diverted fro being scary, you want scary play the 4th game
how about reacting to the chalkeater's rise guys, it's an emotional ballad with a few comedy bits that I think you'll enjoy
I'm planning on reacting to Chalkeaters this week, but not that one. I've been getting a lot of requests for IT JUST WORKS for a while and it's about time I did that one. But RISE GUYS is on my radar!
@@Insaneian wooo more chalkeater reaction, I will definitely be waiting for that.
NO one was expecting Stupendibird... well, no one outside his Patreon, I guess. :P ... Still, amazing visuals. Like some lost piece of 80s footage or something. I... I want to lick it. Just... so tasty, these visuals. I can't stop watching it... XD -I may have problems... **_**-
That animator that Stupes teamed up with has been doing these FNAF shorts for _more_ than a couple years now. Whole fandom is lined with amazing artists, but he's the one you keep seeing and thinking that it's _actually_ the original creators. It's _that_ good... Their name's Coda. :3
~15:55 - ... Dood... same. Only It was squeeing and giggling. XD
have been waitting for this one
I just want to point out that stupendium’s animatronic is in fact not a bird but a parrot
...
You know a parrot is a type of bird, right?
