Season Premiere

2023x01 Blue is NOT a Dog! (Blue’s Clues)

  • 2023-01-08T20:00:00Z15m

We all remember Blue from Blue’s Clues! She’s cute. She’s cuddly. She knows how to find clues! But, there is one thing she is NOT. . . a dog. You heard that right, Loyal Theorists. Blue is NOT actually a dog. So what is she? You’ll have to watch to find out!

Today we’re no-clipping BACK into the yellow halls of Backrooms! And after theorizing four-videos-worth of content about this amazing series, I realized it was finally time to connect the dots. That's right! I put together the ENTIRE Backrooms Timeline. I hope you're ready, Loyal Theorists, because this gets deep.

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. The Avatar, master of all four elements, is tasked with keeping peace between the four nations. We all know that! But have the Avatars actually done a good job at keeping the peace, Loyal Theorists? Between Aang, Korra, and Roku, I DON’T think so! So that begs the question: should there even be an Avatar?!

Bad news, Loyal Theorists! We are no longer at the top of the food chain. The Cordyceps have infected brains, turning the human population into zombie-like creatures. It’s an APOCALYPSE out there, and there’s only one way to end it. Watch to find out how you can survive…

I may not be a mortician, Loyal Theorists, but I can declare that the DC Universe is DEAD. At least the iteration with Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman, Aquaman, and the rest of the Justice League. DC has been struggling to make its movie franchise work for years, but I finally found a way to fix it! And I’ll even share my reaction to James Gunn’s new DC slate of Gods and Monsters. You’ll have to watch to see if I think it will FAIL or succeed...

Have you watched Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Loyal Theorists? I liked the Dreamworks movie so much that I watched it TWICE! But there was one thing that stood out to me… Puss in Boots should have DIED way more than he did! Forget about the Wolf, Death; Puss is a threat to himself. So how many times would he have died? Watch to find out.

2023x07 The Batman’s FATAL Flaw!

  • 2023-02-19T20:00:00Z15m

You’ve seen Batman battle with Joker, Riddler, Penguin, and all of the other Gotham goons. But, would he ACTUALLY have survived those fights, Loyal Theorists? Today we find out if Batman’s Batsuit is really invincible.

If you watched Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania recently, then you likely have the EXACT same question we do: what the heck was that?! After the CGI fest, cringe story beats, and swapped ending, we have to ask what Marvel is doing at this point. What went wrong and can they recover?

You’ve seen us cover Mandela and Backrooms, but now we’re diving headfirst into a NEW analog horror series here on YouTube. Harmony and Horror has a complicated story full of mystery. And the animatronics are SO scary. But how dark does season 1 get? Let’s find out…

Billionaire. Playboy. Philanthropist. CRIMINAL?! Wait, what? Okay maybe it’s obvious that Tony Stark hasn’t had the “best” business practices. But what you may not know is that war profiteering is not the worst of his crimes. In fact, he should probably be facing LIFE in prison! But to see his full sentence, you’ll have to watch this episode.

Can you imagine if your favorite, friendly Pooh Bear had a HORROR movie? Well, that is an actual reality now. But it’s NOT from the minds at Disney. So is this even legal? And could other Disney characters get their own horror movies? Oh Bother, we’re in for a good episode today!

If you’ve seen Dreamworks How to Train Your Dragon, then you’ve seen the incredibly POWERFUL dragons. They breath fire, ice, and even acid. Is all of this a total fantasy or could this ACTUALLY work in the real world? Let’s find out…

Take a stroll down memory lane to your FAVORITE Nickelodeon show, The Fairly OddParents. But we promise it’s not at ALL what you remembered. In fact, there is a dark conspiracy controlling all of Fairy World, and Jorgen may be behind all of it…

Welcome to Night City in the year 2077. All seems great on the outside, but under the surface it’s a TOTAL Nightmare! While everyone wants you to gear up with cyberware, you may want to beware. Why? Well there’s a sinister plot unfolding right before our eyes…

The Super Mario Movie was a fun escape to the land of Nintendo with TONS of easter eggs! But what interested us were the THEORIES in the lore. Can Mario Die? Is Peach actually human? And could we see MORE of these characters like Link, Zelda, and Fox in the future. Let’s discuss…

Planet Earth has been around for hundreds of years, but now we’re about to be put into a grinder… a MEAT grinder! While we already reacted to the meat snake over on GTLive, we’re now ready to break down the weird story of Vita Carnis. What is the National Living Meat Research? What are these creatures? And are we all in DANGER? This analog horror series goes deep, so figure out this meaty mystery!

As you know, Loyal Theorists, we have already broken down our thoughts on FOUR Super Mario Bros Movie theories (and a bonus one on this week’s Short). BUT what we haven’t discussed is whether this movie is actually good or not. So is it? The audience believes it’s amazing, but the critics do NOT agree. So who’s right and who’s wrong? Let’s find out…

We all know and LOVE the Disney Princess, Ariel. She’s perceived as a beautiful sea creature in the Little Mermaid, but how would she look in REAL life? And we’re not talking about the live action remake with Halle Bailey. No! We’re talking about a real life, half-human, half-fish looking mermaid. Trust us, after watching this episode you’re NOT going to want to kiss da girl!

What’s the deal with the Marvel gods? At one point in the MCU we saw Thor as an all-powerful god. But across the span of phase 4 and phase 5 Kevin Feige and company introduced us to a whole new LEVEL of Marvel god with Eternity, Kang, and Galactus. But now with the High-Evolutionary introduced in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, we’re wondering what even IS a god in the MCU? Let’s put together the pieces of this mystery and solve the ultimate question of which god is the MOST powerful in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Bluey is the MOST wholesome show on television right now, Loyal Theorist. It’s an Australian kids show about a Blue Heeler puppy named Bluey But as with any wholesome show you KNOW there have to be dark theories flying around the internet. And today we're looking at whether the show ACTUALLY takes place in a post apocalyptic world. Woah, that’s dark. But is it true? That’s the REAL pickle we’re figuring out today!

John Wick CAN’T die! Now, if you’ve seen John Wick Chapter 4 you may not believe that since he was clearly shot at the end of the movie. But, we’re not buying it. NO! After falling off buildings and getting hit by cars, John Wick would not simply die from a few bullet wounds. There’s something bigger going on with Keanu Reeves, and we’re about to find out…

The popular YouTube horror series, The Backrooms is coming out with a movie! We here at Theorist are excited for Kane, and we can’t wait for all of the new lore. But there’s one BIG problem… making the movie could be ILLEGAL! Why? Well, Loyal Theorist, let’s find out…

Miles Morales has a REAL problem on his hands, Loyal Theorist. In Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse we find out he unintentionally created his own villain AND that none of the events from the previous movie were meant to happen. Moreover, Peter Park was not supposed to die! Now with the world unraveling around him and Miguel and the Spider Society doing their best to restore the “canon events” we have to ask… could the multiverse actually collapse? Is this Spider-Man movie connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)? And does Spider-Man have to DIE?!

2023x25 The DEATH of Indiana Jones!

  • 2023-06-25T19:00:00Z15m

Indiana Jones is BACK for one last ride in the Dial of Destiny! But one question that’s been on our minds is whether Harrison Ford would have ACTUALLY survived all of Indie’s wild adventures… but more specifically whether he would survive the infamous fridge scene. You know, the one where Indiana Jones survives a literal nuclear explosion by hiding in a refrigerator?! Put on your hats and grab your whips because today it’s finally time to put the question to rest.

Well, Theorists, we’re back with another DARK Paw Patrol episode. Last time we talked about how Ryder is EVIL, but this time we’re here to focus on the pups. Particularly in the previous episode, one specific comment kept coming up about how Zuma is not so bad. Well, we’re here to tell you that Zuma is actually the WORST pup. And we brought data to prove it! In fact, we’re ranking the best and worst pups from Paw Patrol and explaining how Ryder is punishing the worst pup. Without further ado, let’s get ready to ruff ruff rescue!

Let’s take a trip down memory lane to the Magic School Bus! You may remember the amazing field trips to the arctic, an underwater volcano, and even inside the earth. But there’s one trip that stands above the rest: getting LOST in space. Sure, it was a beautiful view for the students, but what Ms. Frizzle didn’t tell anyone was how DANGEROUS the ride would be. So, would the students survive? Buckle up those seatbelts, everyone. It’s time to take chances, make mistakes, and get messy, Loyal Theorists!

We heard you LOUD and clear, Loyal Theorists: you want us to react to the popular Buzzfeed Animation series Chikn Nuggit. We read your comments, and now we’re here to give you all the LOOOOOORE!!! Is Chikn Nuggit as cute as he looks? What are Bezel’s intentions? And is this show SECRETLY very dark? It’s time to find out!

Hey Loyal Theorist, today we’re switching up our regular pop-culture-themed programming to follow up about my year of being uncomfortable. If you watched the Game Theory episode a few weeks ago you’ll know that I played in a PGA Tournament event and helped produce a Broadway play. Both were wonderful experiences, and today I want to break down EXACTLY how that play came to be and all the fantastic people I met along the way, including ThomasSanders, Ranboo, TheGamerFromMars, WaitintheWings, and SwellEntertainment. Plus if you stick around, I promise you’ll find some hidden lore…

Skibidi bop bop, yes yes yes it’s time for Skibidi Toilet LORE! If you’ve seen the strange Gary’s Mod head in a toilet invading your YouTube or TikTok feed recently, you’re not alone! This viral series has earned BILLIONS of views per month since its inception. But WHY? There has to be something more to this series than just toilet heads. And OH BOY, Loyal Theorists, you’re in for a treat today because this lore goes deeper than you realize.

2023x37 I Solved the FNAF Movie!

  • 2023-09-19T19:00:00Z15m

OH boy, loyal theorist, it’s finally here: the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie! Ever since the first FNAF trailer dropped, we knew the lore would be different from the game and movie. But, HOW different? There are so many questions we have to answer: is this in the same universe? Where does this story take place? Are Chica, Fox, Bonnie, and Freddy all the same? And WHO is the real big bad? Let’s open the floodgates to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria and SOLVE the FNAF movie…

Aladdin and Jasmine should NOT have survived their own movie. No, not because of Jafar or any other Disney villain but because of one small scene: the magic carpet ride. There’s NO way Aladdin and Jasmine could have flown around the world in such a short amount of time. So today, we’re dissecting what REALLY would have happened. Grab your headset and start cranking up the Disney song jams because after watching this theory it will open up a whole new world of questions!

Bark bark, Loyal Theorist, and buckle up for another Paw Patrol theory. This time, we’re digging up evidence that the mighty pups you know and love – yes, Chase, Skye, Rubble, Marshall, and the rest – are all ALIENS! You won’t believe this canine conspiracy.

Today we boldly go where no theorist has EVER gone before: into the Star Trek transporter. While it seems like a fun sci-fi invention that transports you to and from planets into the Enterprise, it is the furthest thing from fun! In fact, we believe the transporter would KILL you. Please, don’t beam us up, Scotty!

After covering Murder Drones a few months ago on the channel, we’re back to cover another @GLITCH production!

Which era are these characters trapped in a video game? Who helped create the game? And is Pomni letting on more than she’s letting on? Let’s find out…

OOOH boy, loyal Theorists! The FNAF movie was a doozy. We've already predicted what was going to happen in the FNAF movie. We've shown behind the scenes of the MatPat cameo. Heck, we've even discussed Five Nights at Freddy's alternate ending. But, now.... oh NOW we get to take a deep dive into all of the FNAF movie LOOORE! Let's do this thing.

2023x48 How YouTube BROKE Your Brain!

  • 2023-12-10T20:00:00Z15m

YouTube has fundamentally changed the way that we consume media. But they’re not the only culprits; no, TikTok, Netflix, Disney, and the rest of the media industrial complex are ALL to blame. You see, loyal Theorist, our demand for viewing all of this content is actually leading us down a bad road to loneliness and depression. We know this is deep, but hear us out…
