Interesting theory. However, it doesn't take into account the possibility that some former members of the Paw Patrol may have simply grown up and entered a form of retirement, still alive & well. In line with this thought, it's also possible that the human leader of the group isn't the original founder, but rather was chosen by his predicessor to continue in their place once they entered retirement.
A purpose given to them as an alternative for being strays. I would like to have a followup on the business becoming corrupt and the pups finally becoming aware that they were being enslaved. An uprising would certainly be a good finale.
In the tracker episode it is implied that Rocky prepared his whole set of equipment not to mention Ryder is coming up with new ideas for the pups off screen before they are even used meaning certainly Ryder created the main six pups rescue sets first before recruitment and also he came up with other ideas later on not on day one because of how much pups get new equipment it doesn't make sense that if there were pups before them who just used the classic gear
As someone who has been working on this show for over a decade, this was a kick to watch! I can verify that the animation team is very much in on the joke that Zuma never gets called on missions (we make internal memes of it all the time XD ). And the Rubble badge on the screen at 5:30 I think was just a straight-up oversight. It was season 1, things got missed. We had no idea at the time it would blow up to the phenom it's become but sure glad it has!
I’m just saying, I feel like it could also be that the puppies just grow up and then get swapped out with younger dogs as the older ones go into their respective jobs. Like Chase would become an ACTUAL K-9 Unit for example. Just a thought.
I like this theory, the team being a puppy pre-k where they get a bit of initial training and aptitude testing before they go on to their respective training and jobs as they grow up. Each team being their own graduating class
This is it. A TV show for 3 year olds physiologically theorized, entire background dug into, spending countless hours watching every episode of Paw Patrol. This is what i’m living for.
Rather than wondering why this theory is a thing, I'm strangely more curious over who's funding a 10 year old to put dogs in perilous situations. Like he probably has himself in a bit of danger as well as he's got his own vehicle and is seen with the pups on missions, like in the clips and pictures that are shown. Who's paying this child? In fact, isn't this child labor?
One thing that always bugged me with the show when my little sister was into it a few years back was how there was no adult dogs for some reason. The puppies are out there doing rescues for several seasons and yet they never grow up and never meet an older dog.
My wife has always asked "where does he get these wonderful 'toys'??" He's gotta be independently wealthy... but she can't admit to herself the possibility, but Matpat can, that Rider's exploiting the pups for his own gain.
@ Π JUSTIN ∐ wait it could be possible! This could all be a dream from Ryder’s perspective and the different skill sets are military forces and Ryder is their pet dog but in Ryders dream the roles are reversed.
When Ryder said “you were the bravest pup I had ever seen” I said “bruh, stop the cap!” How was that brave he did what anybody would do when they are about to get hit by a car, he just froze so stop capping Ryder!
As a parent of both a 23 yr old and a 5 yr old, I appreciate that MatPat even covers kid's shows. It makes the times I have to watch the shows SO much more interesting to sit through.

Yeah, I love theorizing about little kid shows. How come Geo and Millie are the only two tiny humanoids in the world of Umizoomi? What kind of advanced technology is Bot made of and why is he the only one? I sense a tragic war torn history with magically infused Lilliputian technology, and lots of mighty math powers.
I love that most people could probably also come to this conclusion if they just thought about the entire situation realistically. In a world with hyper-intelligent dogs that can perform rescues as good as and sometimes way better than people, a team of expendable rescue pups is not only plausible, but it just makes sense. Sometimes a dark secret isn't that much of a secret I guess lol
I wondered why they don’t have a medic dog, when there’s an aviation one. Surely in a fantasy kids show even in the US you can pretend EMTs are affordable public service. Edit: MatPat’s theory actually explains this as well. EMTs don’t tend to die during service.
I love him for that reason and that reason only. I have a younger brother whose 6 years old, and well yeah its just funny to find the darkest, most disturbing things about a cartoon
@@partyelixir1265 honestly this show is really good and I believe the writers didn't just not think about it, but instead this was a lucrative ARG made by the writers, my little pony did the same thing with the mysterious changling in season 5 episode 9
This isn't as childhood ruining as I thought. I haven't watched a whole lot of Paw Patrol, but from the little amount that I did watch I definitely get how this is possible. I think Ryder is still being honest though, he is also providing these stray dogs with a home and food as well as a purpose in life. It's a win for all.
MatPat; "And that's why Cinderella is the real villain of the story." Therapist; ".....Lets begin with your childhood, your relationship with your parents during that time."
Matpat is the only one that can make an incredibly innocent and wholesome movie/series with some dark Backstories. This really got dark real quick Edit : OMG 1.2k likes, mom I'm famous now. Thanks for the likes guys.

I've... never actually put this into thought. Especially as a 16-year-old who finds himself watching this show when I have nothing to do. This is actually interesting, and quite dark for a kid show. I've actually thought that Ryder recruited dogs because they were "expendable", and this only increases the evidence.
This brings up another issue: why is Ryder, a kid, managing pups to do adults' work? Has there been an instance in the show that explain why it isn't an adult that's managing the pups? Of course it's a kids' show so the main character is a kid, but wouldn't it be weird for a kid to manage a team of fire fighters and police officers? Does Ryder even get paid for his work? Did something happen to his parents? Also, if the pups are the only animals talking and behaving like humans (being able to express desires, that is) do they have animal rights only or do they also have human rights? Would them be hired for work be considered abuse or just voluntary work? Because if the previous pups died, did they die of old age/they can retire or are they forced to work until they die in an accident or die in the line of duty, basically?
@@skizzpulse what if Ryder is also being exploited , and someone else is running the show ? After all , he could just be a figurehead appointed in order to cut cost and in order to give the rescue service good PR .
Only matpat can make a children's show like paw patrol dark... never change mat Edit: wow this is my most liked comment on youtube thx so much (now I may see people mad that I thanked for likes)
The fact that they are expendable is true. They are stray dogs, you can find them everywhere and the show presents it so by recruiting dogs of varied shapes and sizes. At the same time they are not restricted to just the main city. The fact of the matter is that those dogs have all living expenses taken care of. They are given specialized training, equipment and a purpose . At the same time they have a reasonable degree of freedom. They can do whatever, as long as it does not conflict with their purpose (just like any other job). I think that Ryder has the wellbeing of the dogs as a priority (for whatever reason). Ryder does not try to cut costs at the expense of the livelihood of the dogs, nor does it look like he sees them as the equivalent of one-use latex gloves (put them on, if they get damaged or the task is done, throw them and get new ones). When Rubble joins the team, the vehicle handed down was perfectly operational. Besides some exterior wear and tear, it looked like it was properly maintained even when not in use. Also, he tries to save Rubble instead of just finding a replacement. This theory is based around the idea of "recruiting stray dogs". You can look at it from both points of view. Either you lean onto the "expendable" side (cheap and easy to replace), or on the "rehabilitation" side (a new life and a new purpose). The common ground is that there is a trade between the dogs and the community. The dogs are taken care of by the community and in exchange, they take care of the community by handling emergency situations.
tbh this point of view is the best i think that he really cares maybe some died of old age or retired. Even with accidents in the field we dont treat them any less then any other member of the force .. police dogs and military dogs protect as much as possible it extends to all branches there expendable only because of time or bad luck but still cared for and loved anyways
While not exactly applicable to the show but more for the avalanche dog example, the dogs are just better at it than humans. Sure work dogs could be put into danger by using their tracking skills, but it's not like they aren't the best tool around. An autonomous detection system that can find a body under 3 feet of snow? That'd be a couple million dollar research contract if they didn't exist.
@@tomispandacuddle it makes sense bc if any died in the line of duty, they would most likely get a funeral or something for their service. they’re probably retired
Ya know, this could be a series where Mat just theorizes on children’s shows. I would definitely watch all of them. It’s fun to see things more in depth that would’ve never came to mind as a 6 year old
I love dark theories about children's shows/movies based on things that *actually* are implied, instead of "wouldn't it be fucked up if it was this?" theories. Keep up the good work, Matpat!!
It's actually kind of makes me notice a pattern that's been happening with another little kid show Bluey. My little sister watches the show occasionally and I'll sit down and actively watch it with her because of how high quality it is, it's not even just the animation that's good but it's also the well-written characters in the extreme amount of heart that goes into each episode.
@@DreadfulSora I understand what you mean, I don't normally like shows meant for kindergarteners, but the show is just so well done. It even almost made me cry once.
Generally feel bad for Mat, he has trained his brain to search for dark hidden lore that he can’t simply watch a nice show without searching for that hidden lore.
I love that the legacy MatPat left on Film Theory is literally a father who needs a break and is hetting crazy from overanalyzing little kid's series/movies AND a Zuma hater. Seriously he cannot stop roasting Zuma.
No family friendly shows are safe from Matpat anymore. If there's even a small amount of Lore somewhere, he will find it and he will solve it's true purpose
Ash is in a coma theory, Angelica is a druggie and hallucinates all babies except Dill theory, Ed Edd and Eddy everyone is dead theory, the Mane Six are dead theory, Spencer is actually Crazy Steve who kidnapped Meghan theory. This is nothing new and probably no more than an attempt at creepypasta
the real life rescue dogs are misrepresented though. It's portrayed that they are chosen due to their expendablity, but it really should have been noted that most of the time that dogs have jobs it's because they are better than humans at detecting stuff (people, drugs, explosives, etc.) mostly through scent! They are more qualified than humans in a lot of search and rescue tracking because they have a super sense. That point of the vid does not past muster.
Well, I think the comment on the puppies being successful is great but if not it's no loss touches on that. The dogs can def be super useful, and do jobs better than humans could, but it's also true that they do not have as high a value as a human life does. Though that gets really messed up in this universe and with this theory since the puppies are sentient, thinking, beings... Big oofs all around
But not all scenarios. A human would be more efficient and versatile in police field having to use intelligence to solve critical problems. Additionally, a human is essential for the output during a task requiring to use satellite or sonar technologies if I’m not mistaken. Dogs are more vital in cramp place such as an avalanche as it requires many manoeuvre moves. Moreover, technologies has played a significant role in such tasks enabling to utilize unprecedented functions such as extremely sensitive scent that are only in some creatures.
this children's series actually could have a lot of theories Like how they can talk or How Ryder is able to build technologies more advanced than the US military.He should continue on with this series.
@@lisandrealawrence7330 Maybe the U.S Military took him in? Like the U.S gov. held some data that Ryder is like a child prodigy(like he has a talent)and he has to leave his parents for this mission or secret program.
Can I just say how much I love these Film theories based on children's shows? Keep up the great work Matt, get 'em where you can, so you don't look like you're stretching for clues the next time a new Batman/ Avengers film arrives,
I have a 2.5 year old who’s obsessed, so I watch it all the time. This was hilarious watching this! Thanks for the laugh while I water trees in the cemetery . And very well made and fun theory.
I love that this one looked like it was gonna be one of those “Their all dead and in purgatory since the city is always in peril somehow” theory’s, but no- it’s just logical stuff that we’ve seen in the series entirely
@@tomorrowisyesterday3215 Is this an attempt to correct the persons grammar or is it a joke? Cause if it’s a correction, you’re wrong. Edit: And if it’s a joke, I don’t get it
A minor theory I have about Ryder is that he's some kind of minor god hiding as a ten year old child, seeing in how at least one episode he lifts an adult male walrus (which weighs around a small car) , is crazy smart, and all the pups obey him without question. Also the fact that he's so unnaturally calm in every situation Just a mini theory though
Possibly. While it seems a little bit of a stretch, my own theory about Ryder might be a stretch too. Think about it: Ryder is crazy strong, crazy smart, high level of endurance (one episode he climbed all the way from the bottom to the top of the Lookout using only the fire pole, without breaking a sweat) the pups obey him without question, and the pups are severely distraught when he's not there to give them every single instruction. Also the people of adventure Bay aren't exactly bright. With the exceptions of a select few, ryder and his pups are the only ones able to handle the emergencies. My theory stretch is that maybe somehow he's manipulating their decision making so that he can strengthen his superiority complex as well as their devotion to him and his team.
also, how every emergency they go to always happens to be a safe for work emergency. so, in the entire city, one prominent enough to feature the tallest building in the world, no horrific or sexual crimes occur? and not just that, but so few incidences in general occur that only 1 dog per job is needed. 1 cop, 1 firefighter, 1 construction worker, etc for an entire big city. interesting.
I like theories about dark serious shows actually being innocent. Like breaking bad is actually a student being bored during chem class, breaking bad is actually kids playing pretend. Its fun either way

I mean, yeah, but also, they should and usually DO, think about it, I mean, the origin for the pug is in the first season, they HAD to have thought about the origin before they made the episode, could they have massively missed the number of the truck? Yes, but it's unlikely. And then there is stuff they MADE SPECIFICALLY for stand alone episodes, like the award for the record? They made it with HIS truck on it, as in saying there is no other paw patrols, and the truck existed BEFORE him

Ryder must have also been replaced as the description of paw patrol on Netflix states “ six heroic puppies led by a tech savvy 10 year old” I don’t know if this also counts as child labour though.
If the town is so used to the paw patrol idea and Ryder is literally a child then doesn't it stand to reason that he isn't the first human to lead the paw patrol? If he was he would probably have had to work harder to prove to the town that it was a good idea. And the older folk in town are also generally accepting and used to it - they have a special button for calling Ryder on all of their phones for heaven's sake - which implies that the paw patrol has been a thing for a while, and we never see or meet Ryder's parents or even a guardian, he never even mentions them as far as I know, and he lives alone with his dogs. So what if it's not just the pups, but the entirety of the paw patrol squad, including Ryder, who are seen as expendable or replacements?
To support your theory even more, the button to call "Ryder" seems to actually be a button to call Paw Patrol as seen in at least two cases. One was when Marshall was left alone in the Lookout and Katie called for help, thinking she is calling Ryder, but instead caught Marshall. Another and more recent is when Ryder left to get some repair part for Robodog and leave Katie in charge, giving her spare Pup-Pad. And eventually, Katie is called by Mayor Goodway, who thought she called Ryder. So, yeah, this further proves your theory that Ryder is replaceable too.
@@seomahazuri8999 jobs work like that, if a job is vacabt another person is hired. If they were truly thought as expendable they wouldnt be given any treatment when hurt or any safety equipment to prevent injuries
I kept thinking it felt sort of post-apocalyptic many years after a major disaster. It explains why Adventure Bay seems so empty. Nobody older than their 30's either.
The evidence and logic lines up, though I think Ryder's motivations are more altruistic. Remember he's 10, by all logic he inherited the Paw Patrol from one of his parents, meaning how it functions is just normal to him. He likely sees what he's doing as good, taking orphaned pups off the street and training them to be rescue dogs. Also at just 10 he likely hasn't been in charge long enough and has had a really good run of luck that he has yet to lose any dogs. Ryder's team isn't the first Paw Patrol team it's HIS first team. Whomever ran it before Ryder probably lost many dogs to either accidents or old age, but since this is a show of young kids the topic will be ignore or left as vague as possible and we won't see the inevitable first time Ryder loses a team member.
Well- I imagine that many died of old age along time ago. It makes sense because they’ve been taken of the street too help do good and it makes sense that they have a good life and most likely died of old age
I literally went into this expecting it to be something like “they were ghosts the whole time!” and walked out with a commentary on unethical military recruitment tactics, lol. I kinda dig how some theories lately are like a hairs breadth away from just like, game/film analysis 😭
More like at least the ethical and moral question of using animals for everyday risks and rescues to at most and I'm not surprised if they did peta using it as campaign or argument about the crulty of animals in the everyday service or work for or due to human involvement
@@aaronburkeen6409they probably just reused assets, already have the helmet and vehicle why make whole new ones and instead just use old textures or whatever?
@@Liljinks Reuse textures from an episode in the first season? That does not make sense. How could they reuse images and textures from colors they have not used. None or the other characters use yellow in there theme.
Another Theory:Where are Ryder's parents? They probably died when leading another paw patrol. His parents probably taught him to build those vehicles. Or they built them himself. How do you think a ten year old is going to build a fully functional lookout and pupmoblies and packs that respond to voice commands.
I like how almost everything "Cute" has it's dark backstory, even show, i am obbsesed, my favourite backstory is about mlp Twilight Sparkle is a cannibal.
Because this person knows how to Explain well like a Good likable teacher that every student likes. Or just he knows how to manipulate us on getting into his theories.
I love how all of these dark theories would’ve went away had the producers spent just one more week double-checking everything in the episode for loopholes or weird questions. Just one line about the Mayor getting in touch with the team’s supplier and Rubble having to ride with Marshall until then would’ve solved the vehicle problem perfectly. Also, swapping Zuma and Rubble’s vehicle numbers.
Honestly if I were a producer for one of these shows, I'd intentionally leave those "mistakes" in hopes MatPat would find them, even if they weren't part of the canon lore. But that's probably why I'm not a producer on a kids' show.
Thats funny....that is just how Skye is recruited by Ryder, as well. She once had an owner, but she was the smallest and the weakest in her litter, so one day, in a snowstorm, she leaves her home and follows Ryder home, and he finds her, shivering in the snow, and makes her part of his team, as the Aviation Pup.
Two things: 1: Why do the dogs talk when all the other animals don’t? 2: I imagine Ollie will stumble upon this video or videos like this and that’s when MatPat’s gonna wind up in some real trouble.
This really true because i watched that show lot time but i alway wondered why some animals dont talk? Yep, mostly cat dont talk there only few cat that talk in this show.
Everyone: walks by a trashcan doesn’t even think about it MatPat: this trashcan has committed several crimes avoided the police for 18 years and now has killed four dozen people and for some reason is hiding out as a plain old trashcan but that’s just a theory
I swear if this becomes a whole theory I’m gonna freak out and I hope I can voice my part into it I think it’s gonna be amazing if my pet actually takes one of my theories makes a video about it and let me have a part in it
And here i was thinking that the only non-sensical thing in this show is the utter lack of physics often used in it like how Marshall gets in the base in many different ways. Oh man...
yeah i feel you what about there biology,laws of physics,and frick what about other subjects that has math. I will like to add make them as dark as possible
I like to say that mat-pats child or Ollie is just listening Ing to his thing that he’s talking about and now I feel like he’s holding back his tears internally and physically
If you wanted a more wholesome theory, you could have tried "Why are the puppies the only animals that can talk?" That's something I've always wanted to know.
because they were gifted with speech from the almighty zor of the planet raxong, to help with the successful invasion of the planet earth where dogs rule all
I know what I'm about to say is against the entire antithesis of theories but why is it assumed that another world behaves exactly like ours. Personally l am a lot more interested in theories that come up with how the aspect fits into the world and how would the world need to change to fit it.
Upmost respect for this man. He has a wife and toddler (which is a handful enough as it is) to worry about and yet he still finds time to make great content for us. Absolute GOAT.
I know the answer is "they don't age because this is a cartoon", but how old is Ryder? If he has been around for this long, how can he still be 10? Also I am like 85% certain that after this episode, we're going to get an episode with retired Paw Patrol members.
Anyways here are some dog jokes Q:what do you call a frozen dog A: a pupsicle Q: today when it was raining cats and dogs I stepped in a A: a poodle Q:what do dogs get for their breakfast A: pupcakes
In the back of my mind, I've always wanted MatPat to make a PawPatrol theory, and I never thought it would be done. Now I have something to bond over with my little sister LOL
i am obsessed with this; simple lighthearted media being overanalyzed for theories while still being grounded and logical HAHA. the fact that this isn't a show that purposely fills itself with lore and connection (like Marvel media) makes it so much better. this somewhat makes me feel better as an adult who is hyperfixated on a kids show and makes theories and headcanons for it (Top Wing. "Paw Patrol but birds", but I beg to differ lmao. it somewhat has more lore and storyline in it)
That's why these theories exist, to make adults feel better about being being interested in kids' shows. If I had a dime for every stunted manchild that made the claim that a piece of children's media is 'darker than you think' I'd have MatPat money.

I get the feeling that there's now a MASSIVE surge of interest on this channel due to so many parents being sick of this show and wanting to find some dark relief through MatPat.
I love this theory, as I grew up watching this show. And it’s still popular to this day. But, I have one thing to say. We actually have one more backstory that we have learned from Paw Patrol 2: The Mighty Movie. We learn about Skye’s backstory, which is very detailed. And it makes sense, since all three of the backstories we know, are from the main characters when we learn them..
I actually always thought that this show is actually just children playing. The pups talk because they are toys that some kids play with. The cat does not talk because it’s an actual cat. It would also explain why all adults are so childlish and why literally everything is possible in this universe
This is what I always thought too tbh. Or, alternatively, the cat actually CAN talk in universe but just actively chooses not to since let's face it, that's just how cats are
Alright, now I'm curious what MatPat would think about Transformers Rescue Bots. It's also worth noting that Transformers Prime would hold relevant information, as would Robots In Disguise 2015, though a lot of the fandom has kind of disowned it.
Hey! I was literally about to comment about Rescue Bots! Paw Patrol really does seem to be quite a lot like Rescue Bots, but with dogs. And yet Rescue Bots somehow remains one of the best Transformers series out there. u.u And ahahahaaaa yeaaaaaahhhhh... Robots in Disguise 2015. I can see the Film Theory on it now! "Is Bumblebee oppressing racial minorities???"
I like how Matpat would just simply question something and then turn that simple question into an entire story script that has been going on for like weeks

Is it bad if i just mention... the concept of... retirement? Yeah, we never see any retired dogs, but we dont tend to see many dogs outside the paw patrol besides in the movie so.. i dont know. As always though, love the stuff Matpat comes up with, and the way it almost always works. Overthinkers. Theyre awesome.
yes, maybe the dogs just grew up. they are a puppy team, not an adult dog team. is still sad to imagine the dog becoming an adult and being fired, throwing him in the streets again, alone... but is a little bit less sad. not so much, but a little bit...

Interesting theory.
However, it doesn't take into account the possibility that some former members of the Paw Patrol may have simply grown up and entered a form of retirement, still alive & well.
In line with this thought, it's also possible that the human leader of the group isn't the original founder, but rather was chosen by his predicessor to continue in their place once they entered retirement.

And the Rubble badge on the screen at 5:30 I think was just a straight-up oversight. It was season 1, things got missed. We had no idea at the time it would blow up to the phenom it's become but sure glad it has!

I’m just saying, I feel like it could also be that the puppies just grow up and then get swapped out with younger dogs as the older ones go into their respective jobs. Like Chase would become an ACTUAL K-9 Unit for example. Just a thought.
Oh wow that could be true😯
I like this theory, the team being a puppy pre-k where they get a bit of initial training and aptitude testing before they go on to their respective training and jobs as they grow up. Each team being their own graduating class

Rather than wondering why this theory is a thing, I'm strangely more curious over who's funding a 10 year old to put dogs in perilous situations. Like he probably has himself in a bit of danger as well as he's got his own vehicle and is seen with the pups on missions, like in the clips and pictures that are shown. Who's paying this child? In fact, isn't this child labor?
Yes, but back when we watched this show we were all dumb kids.
It's only child labor if you pay them. Otherwise it's community volunteer work.
he might be being paid/funded by the city seeing as the paw patrol covers services usually provided by the city
Apparently Adventure Bay has no child Laws.

One thing that always bugged me with the show when my little sister was into it a few years back was how there was no adult dogs for some reason. The puppies are out there doing rescues for several seasons and yet they never grow up and never meet an older dog.

I wondered why they don’t have a medic dog, when there’s an aviation one. Surely in a fantasy kids show even in the US you can pretend EMTs are affordable public service. Edit: MatPat’s theory actually explains this as well. EMTs don’t tend to die during service.
I would theorize (so to speak) that EMT would be the hardest of these jobs to perform without hands.
I'm pretty sure that in some episodes Marshall is the medic since sometimes he would drive an ambulance.

Perfect. I love your stuff, and had my first kid a couple years after y'all had Ollie. The Paw Patrol movie is on in my living room every day.
This brings up another issue: why is Ryder, a kid, managing pups to do adults' work? Has there been an instance in the show that explain why it isn't an adult that's managing the pups? Of course it's a kids' show so the main character is a kid, but wouldn't it be weird for a kid to manage a team of fire fighters and police officers? Does Ryder even get paid for his work? Did something happen to his parents? Also, if the pups are the only animals talking and behaving like humans (being able to express desires, that is) do they have animal rights only or do they also have human rights? Would them be hired for work be considered abuse or just voluntary work? Because if the previous pups died, did they die of old age/they can retire or are they forced to work until they die in an accident or die in the line of duty, basically?

Bruh why so many bots in my replies...
The fact that they are expendable is true. They are stray dogs, you can find them everywhere and the show presents it so by recruiting dogs of varied shapes and sizes. At the same time they are not restricted to just the main city.
The fact of the matter is that those dogs have all living expenses taken care of. They are given specialized training, equipment and a purpose . At the same time they have a reasonable degree of freedom. They can do whatever, as long as it does not conflict with their purpose (just like any other job).
I think that Ryder has the wellbeing of the dogs as a priority (for whatever reason). Ryder does not try to cut costs at the expense of the livelihood of the dogs, nor does it look like he sees them as the equivalent of one-use latex gloves (put them on, if they get damaged or the task is done, throw them and get new ones). When Rubble joins the team, the vehicle handed down was perfectly operational. Besides some exterior wear and tear, it looked like it was properly maintained even when not in use. Also, he tries to save Rubble instead of just finding a replacement.
This theory is based around the idea of "recruiting stray dogs". You can look at it from both points of view. Either you lean onto the "expendable" side (cheap and easy to replace), or on the "rehabilitation" side (a new life and a new purpose). The common ground is that there is a trade between the dogs and the community. The dogs are taken care of by the community and in exchange, they take care of the community by handling emergency situations.
Yay for making this theory less dark I guess?
tbh this point of view is the best i think that he really cares maybe some died of old age or retired. Even with accidents in the field we dont treat them any less then any other member of the force .. police dogs and military dogs protect as much as possible it extends to all branches there expendable only because of time or bad luck but still cared for and loved anyways
Thanks for making this theory a little less dark.
Imma go hug a pillow now..
While not exactly applicable to the show but more for the avalanche dog example, the dogs are just better at it than humans.
Sure work dogs could be put into danger by using their tracking skills, but it's not like they aren't the best tool around. An autonomous detection system that can find a body under 3 feet of snow? That'd be a couple million dollar research contract if they didn't exist.
@@tomispandacuddle it makes sense bc if any died in the line of duty, they would most likely get a funeral or something for their service. they’re probably retired

I use to watch paw patrol when I was 7, in 2013, I got to old for this show its 2022 and I'm 16
the real life rescue dogs are misrepresented though. It's portrayed that they are chosen due to their expendablity, but it really should have been noted that most of the time that dogs have jobs it's because they are better than humans at detecting stuff (people, drugs, explosives, etc.) mostly through scent! They are more qualified than humans in a lot of search and rescue tracking because they have a super sense. That point of the vid does not past muster.
Well, I think the comment on the puppies being successful is great but if not it's no loss touches on that. The dogs can def be super useful, and do jobs better than humans could, but it's also true that they do not have as high a value as a human life does. Though that gets really messed up in this universe and with this theory since the puppies are sentient, thinking, beings... Big oofs all around
I mean, yes, dogs can be suited better for some jobs, but not everything you know, a dog operating a fire hose? An excavator? A helicopter???
@@jameseholschen3 Well real life dogs are also sentient thinking beings, the thing is we don't usually see it that way because they can't talk
@@jameseholschen3 Ya, they are only high value when it comes to the medical Bill you pay for just the check-up
But not all scenarios. A human would be more efficient and versatile in police field having to use intelligence to solve critical problems. Additionally, a human is essential for the output during a task requiring to use satellite or sonar technologies if I’m not mistaken. Dogs are more vital in cramp place such as an avalanche as it requires many manoeuvre moves. Moreover, technologies has played a significant role in such tasks enabling to utilize unprecedented functions such as extremely sensitive scent that are only in some creatures.

A minor theory I have about Ryder is that he's some kind of minor god hiding as a ten year old child, seeing in how at least one episode he lifts an adult male walrus (which weighs around a small car) , is crazy smart, and all the pups obey him without question. Also the fact that he's so unnaturally calm in every situation
Just a mini theory though
Lmao just Ryder as god
Possibly. While it seems a little bit of a stretch, my own theory about Ryder might be a stretch too. Think about it: Ryder is crazy strong, crazy smart, high level of endurance (one episode he climbed all the way from the bottom to the top of the Lookout using only the fire pole, without breaking a sweat) the pups obey him without question, and the pups are severely distraught when he's not there to give them every single instruction.
Also the people of adventure Bay aren't exactly bright. With the exceptions of a select few, ryder and his pups are the only ones able to handle the emergencies. My theory stretch is that maybe somehow he's manipulating their decision making so that he can strengthen his superiority complex as well as their devotion to him and his team.
also, how every emergency they go to always happens to be a safe for work emergency. so, in the entire city, one prominent enough to feature the tallest building in the world, no horrific or sexual crimes occur? and not just that, but so few incidences in general occur that only 1 dog per job is needed. 1 cop, 1 firefighter, 1 construction worker, etc for an entire big city. interesting.
or maybe Ryder is the local god of the Adventure Bay, and that makes more sense
A MINI THEORY!

If the town is so used to the paw patrol idea and Ryder is literally a child then doesn't it stand to reason that he isn't the first human to lead the paw patrol? If he was he would probably have had to work harder to prove to the town that it was a good idea. And the older folk in town are also generally accepting and used to it - they have a special button for calling Ryder on all of their phones for heaven's sake - which implies that the paw patrol has been a thing for a while, and we never see or meet Ryder's parents or even a guardian, he never even mentions them as far as I know, and he lives alone with his dogs. So what if it's not just the pups, but the entirety of the paw patrol squad, including Ryder, who are seen as expendable or replacements?
To support your theory even more, the button to call "Ryder" seems to actually be a button to call Paw Patrol as seen in at least two cases. One was when Marshall was left alone in the Lookout and Katie called for help, thinking she is calling Ryder, but instead caught Marshall. Another and more recent is when Ryder left to get some repair part for Robodog and leave Katie in charge, giving her spare Pup-Pad. And eventually, Katie is called by Mayor Goodway, who thought she called Ryder. So, yeah, this further proves your theory that Ryder is replaceable too.

I kept thinking it felt sort of post-apocalyptic many years after a major disaster. It explains why Adventure Bay seems so empty. Nobody older than their 30's either.
The evidence and logic lines up, though I think Ryder's motivations are more altruistic. Remember he's 10, by all logic he inherited the Paw Patrol from one of his parents, meaning how it functions is just normal to him. He likely sees what he's doing as good, taking orphaned pups off the street and training them to be rescue dogs. Also at just 10 he likely hasn't been in charge long enough and has had a really good run of luck that he has yet to lose any dogs. Ryder's team isn't the first Paw Patrol team it's HIS first team. Whomever ran it before Ryder probably lost many dogs to either accidents or old age, but since this is a show of young kids the topic will be ignore or left as vague as possible and we won't see the inevitable first time Ryder loses a team member.
Y'know, I like that theory much better. Still sad, but like, at least Ryder ain't the bad guy.
@@Akajaro true it is less sad but it wouldn’t be a Matt Pat theory without the true horrors of humanity taking place
I had a similer idea like What if there was a Ryder before Ryder? How do we know there wasn't another kid leader that lead teams of past pups before?
@@noahballard6864 True.
Well- I imagine that many died of old age along time ago. It makes sense because they’ve been taken of the street too help do good and it makes sense that they have a good life and most likely died of old age
I literally went into this expecting it to be something like “they were ghosts the whole time!” and walked out with a commentary on unethical military recruitment tactics, lol. I kinda dig how some theories lately are like a hairs breadth away from just like, game/film analysis 😭
omg yeeesss I thought that 2
More like at least the ethical and moral question of using animals for everyday risks and rescues to at most and I'm not surprised if they did peta using it as campaign or argument about the crulty of animals in the everyday service or work for or due to human involvement
a honest thank you! As a father of a 3 year old kid, I too have to get through this. But searching clues of that theory will make it less anoying

Tbh my first thought was somehow we were falling them as dead but alive the same, like they can't leave or something
i love how it’s very clearly an oversight by the animator, but matpat has made an entire, kind of believable theory about it
I mean not really. Kinda hard to accedicentally animate wear and tear on equipment. And then also number that same equipment 6 instead of 7.
@@aaronburkeen6409they probably just reused assets, already have the helmet and vehicle why make whole new ones and instead just use old textures or whatever?
@@Liljinks Reuse textures from an episode in the first season? That does not make sense. How could they reuse images and textures from colors they have not used. None or the other characters use yellow in there theme.
@@Liljinks they didnt his he was a bulldog called digger💀💀💀
Another Theory:Where are Ryder's parents? They probably died when leading another paw patrol. His parents probably taught him to build those vehicles. Or they built them himself. How do you think a ten year old is going to build a fully functional lookout and pupmoblies and packs that respond to voice commands.
I like how almost everything "Cute" has it's dark backstory, even show, i am obbsesed, my favourite backstory is about mlp Twilight Sparkle is a cannibal.
bro MatPat is like the only guy who can say that everyone on the Paw Patrol is dead, and make it sound completely believable and backed with knowledge
How old are you? Why only a child thinks this makes sense!🤦🏻♀️🙄
he is also tthe one person who can say that spider man is actually a alien that was from bowsers castle
Basically gaslighting except the points are actually really good and then he might just be right.
Because this person knows how to Explain well like a Good likable teacher that every student likes. Or just he knows how to manipulate us on getting into his theories.
I love how all of these dark theories would’ve went away had the producers spent just one more week double-checking everything in the episode for loopholes or weird questions. Just one line about the Mayor getting in touch with the team’s supplier and Rubble having to ride with Marshall until then would’ve solved the vehicle problem perfectly. Also, swapping Zuma and Rubble’s vehicle numbers.
But because of those loopholes MatPat has been able to brand Ryder as a Weapons dealer and Capitalist
Honestly if I were a producer for one of these shows, I'd intentionally leave those "mistakes" in hopes MatPat would find them, even if they weren't part of the canon lore. But that's probably why I'm not a producer on a kids' show.
I’d want people to theorise though if I was gonna make a show. 😂
@@elizabethshaw7472 I mean, you could just join a team for it and try to simplify to show to not do that.
@@thesymbiotenation.4552, not a capitalist, just a greedy kid taking advantage of capitalism. There's a difference..😊
Thats funny....that is just how Skye is recruited by Ryder, as well. She once had an owner, but she was the smallest and the weakest in her litter, so one day, in a snowstorm, she leaves her home and follows Ryder home, and he finds her, shivering in the snow, and makes her part of his team, as the Aviation Pup.
Two things:
1: Why do the dogs talk when all the other animals don’t?
2: I imagine Ollie will stumble upon this video or videos like this and that’s when MatPat’s gonna wind up in some real trouble.
i’d hope that matpat doesn’t allow Ollie to have unlimited access to the internet when he’s still young
This really true because i watched that show lot time but i alway wondered why some animals dont talk? Yep, mostly cat dont talk there only few cat that talk in this show.
1: You Have A Point Does That Mean Only Dogs Can Talk In That Universe
2: Idk
RZ
There are a lot more questions in this show
Everyone: walks by a trashcan doesn’t even think about it
MatPat: this trashcan has committed several crimes avoided the police for 18 years and now has killed four dozen people and for some reason is hiding out as a plain old trashcan but that’s just a theory
Are they even JUST theories at this point?
A Murder Mystery theory
It's not a theory any more it's just a lore plate
@@scoodybookypoo49733onbreak Since Matrick keeps toting Mario is Mental like it's his magnum opus, no
I swear if this becomes a whole theory I’m gonna freak out and I hope I can voice my part into it I think it’s gonna be amazing if my pet actually takes one of my theories makes a video about it and let me have a part in it
And here i was thinking that the only non-sensical thing in this show is the utter lack of physics often used in it like how Marshall gets in the base in many different ways. Oh man...
yeah i feel you what about there biology,laws of physics,and frick what about other subjects that has math. I will like to add make them as dark as possible
I always wondered what that giant emblem does to those random ojects that marshall aciddentaly enters the elevator with
I like to say that mat-pats child or Ollie is just listening Ing to his thing that he’s talking about and now I feel like he’s holding back his tears internally and physically
If you wanted a more wholesome theory, you could have tried "Why are the puppies the only animals that can talk?"
That's something I've always wanted to know.
Because dead
because they were gifted with speech from the almighty zor of the planet raxong, to help with the successful invasion of the planet earth where dogs rule all
You fool.
I know what I'm about to say is against the entire antithesis of theories but why is it assumed that another world behaves exactly like ours. Personally l am a lot more interested in theories that come up with how the aspect fits into the world and how would the world need to change to fit it.

You're just referring to the toddler and not the toddler and Steph right?
@@demetriam2408 No I said both
it’s his job
I know the answer is "they don't age because this is a cartoon", but how old is Ryder? If he has been around for this long, how can he still be 10?
Also I am like 85% certain that after this episode, we're going to get an episode with retired Paw Patrol members.
Ryder is secretly Ash
nah bro Ryder is just like ash from Pokémon he never ages
Ryder is definitely suffering from that deformation that prevents their body from visually ageing

Finally its here
In the back of my mind, I've always wanted MatPat to make a PawPatrol theory, and I never thought it would be done. Now I have something to bond over with my little sister LOL
Me too
All the bots decided to comment here 💀
dont think you would want to show this to your lil sister…
@@rr.richie lol she's old enough for this kind of stuff, don't worry I ain't gonna traumatize her
Same
i am obsessed with this; simple lighthearted media being overanalyzed for theories while still being grounded and logical HAHA. the fact that this isn't a show that purposely fills itself with lore and connection (like Marvel media) makes it so much better.
this somewhat makes me feel better as an adult who is hyperfixated on a kids show and makes theories and headcanons for it (Top Wing. "Paw Patrol but birds", but I beg to differ lmao. it somewhat has more lore and storyline in it)
That's why these theories exist, to make adults feel better about being being interested in kids' shows. If I had a dime for every stunted manchild that made the claim that a piece of children's media is 'darker than you think' I'd have MatPat money.
@@DragoEpyon I wonder... what is matpat money?? 🤔🤔🤔 Also where do I get some?
@@DragoEpyon no.. that's not the case. My brother in christ, literally in the fucking video he says he watched it with his son. You probably think you're so cool with that comment.
@@DragoEpyon ok but why aren't adults allowed to enjoy kids' shows? It's not harming anyone :I

I love how this channel turns such innocent children’s movies or shows, EVEN BABY SHOWS into something dark
if you squint enough everything can look dark
@@alexray230 true if you squint just enough anything can look and sound dark kinda scary if you think about it your favorite childhood shows are in reality fucked up in some form or fashion
Ruining your childhood since 2014
Out of all fairness, when I used to watch the show, I swore they were building up lore.
As someone with a 3-year-old sister who is addicted to this show, I understand the frustration, but MatPat... are you okay?
I think he's not. Turning wholesome things into grim ones is a sign of inner struggle and repressed angst.
Yeah are you ok????
AHH BOTS SHUT UP
Honestly I think from the lack of theories on different shows and movies as well as things in real life that he's been getting . In order to keep up with his channel he makes theories on anyting but seriously dude are you okay after all this?
I get the feeling that there's now a MASSIVE surge of interest on this channel due to so many parents being sick of this show and wanting to find some dark relief through MatPat.

Lmao, it will be great too if MatPat makes a dark theory for Cocomelon

Finally It’s here.
these bots can go drown themselves in a pit of acid.
I love this theory, as I grew up watching this show. And it’s still popular to this day. But, I have one thing to say. We actually have one more backstory that we have learned from Paw Patrol 2: The Mighty Movie. We learn about Skye’s backstory, which is very detailed. And it makes sense, since all three of the backstories we know, are from the main characters when we learn them..
I actually always thought that this show is actually just children playing. The pups talk because they are toys that some kids play with. The cat does not talk because it’s an actual cat. It would also explain why all adults are so childlish and why literally everything is possible in this universe
Yeah, like Boss baby?
like launching a satellite back into space using just a trampoline?
Huh
This is what I always thought too tbh. Or, alternatively, the cat actually CAN talk in universe but just actively chooses not to since let's face it, that's just how cats are
@@dracothewarrior4316 Use the fridge strategy from regular show
Alright, now I'm curious what MatPat would think about Transformers Rescue Bots. It's also worth noting that Transformers Prime would hold relevant information, as would Robots In Disguise 2015, though a lot of the fandom has kind of disowned it.
Hey! I was literally about to comment about Rescue Bots! Paw Patrol really does seem to be quite a lot like Rescue Bots, but with dogs. And yet Rescue Bots somehow remains one of the best Transformers series out there. u.u
And ahahahaaaa yeaaaaaahhhhh... Robots in Disguise 2015. I can see the Film Theory on it now! "Is Bumblebee oppressing racial minorities???"
Hahahaha😂😂😂
Omg, my comment got popular enough that I got a spam bot! Holy heck, y'all!
This show is part of the same universe as Prime! But it's unique in its own way!
@@adrienstarfaer Congrats on the spambot! Sniff. It's so beautiful!
I like how Matpat would just simply question something and then turn that simple question into an entire story script that has been going on for like weeks

Even if it’s a simple animation mistake lol

Why wait 10 yrs?

Do it
Plot twist: They have already found this video.
now i just imagine Ollie comig home from school and seeing paw patrol toys on the floor and the second he picks one up matpat is like "wait ollie no! those are dads toys!"
This really is matpat at his finest. There's not supposed to be something here to find. Unlike creepy pastas, ARGs and other baited mysteries, Matt is out here digging up fresh cadavers in a children's show. Perfection.
You know, when I woke up this morning, I did not expect to read "digging up fresh cadavers in a children's show" and nod politely in agreement.
Is it bad if i just mention... the concept of... retirement? Yeah, we never see any retired dogs, but we dont tend to see many dogs outside the paw patrol besides in the movie so.. i dont know. As always though, love the stuff Matpat comes up with, and the way it almost always works. Overthinkers. Theyre awesome.

Finally It’s here.
yes, maybe the dogs just grew up. they are a puppy team, not an adult dog team. is still sad to imagine the dog becoming an adult and being fired, throwing him in the streets again, alone... but is a little bit less sad. not so much, but a little bit...
I'm pretty sure that there are retired dogs but I'm also sure that at least 1 dog died on duty.
Not saying every dog did, but at least 1 accident might have happened.

@@PROPAROXITONO but at the same time if there was a previous team before them for a long time what about Ryder? like he's young and if we go back a few years surely he wouldve been too young to run that team right?
