Animal Crossing is PEOPLE! No, really! Theorists, this may be one of the most unexpected theories I've put out recently, but once you see it, you will never unsee it. I have gathered TONS of evidence that our player character is only SEEING the villagers of Animal Crossing as animals. They are not, in fact, ACTUAL talking, anthropomorphic animals. Have I said the word animals enough yet? Well get ready Loyal Theorists, I am about to blow your mind! Animals!

Peaceful game: exists Matpat: we don’t do that here
MatPat: Peace is NEVER an option.
I WAS LITERALLY SAYING THAT! Like Nintendo Release A Cute Peaceful Kid-Friendly Game Called Animal Crossing Mat: Oh Your Sick And See People As Animals Like Just Leave The Game As Cute As It Should Be...
Can't have nothing in Detroit
@@itsgalazy4447 But why bother leaving it "cute"
We all know that. 😂👌
Me sat here thinking the villager was just a child imagining a world with their stuffed animals : 👁👄👁
XD
🤣
Awww this is actually super sweet and cute. I can get behind this.
Tbh, that's probably what Nintendo intended
But that's just a theory, a game theory.
When I played this game and saw the owl, octopus and frogs, my first thought was that they were "less evolved" versions. Kind of like what other apes are to us.
or kinda like the jellyfish in spongebob?
that's also a theory to explain krabby patties as less evolved crab flesh
"less evolved" Like the octarians in splatoon 2
NEW THEORY!!!
Or like Goofy and Pluto.
"You can observe them in their houses with no repercussions" Wait until he learns about how the villagers yell at you for entering without permission in the first game lol
true-
the first game was better
I miss the brutality of the first game, my snooty villagers were absolutely taking no prisoners
Animal crossing: a cute, relaxing game Matpat: so the protagonist had a rare illness...
@@calamariari2004 That *CAN'T* be right! 😱😱😱 (/sarc)
Literally me when there's no explicit lore 🤣
@@calamariari2004 No they are furries and I will not change my opinion
This theory is wrong because of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe because that means every single racer who races with Isabelle is dealing with the same thing. Which is false. Gosh did he forget Nintendo has a universe now.
yep that checks out
I just imagine matpat playing any game for the first time “This game is really nice, i bet that there is a murderer rabbit somewhere
Matpat: you can't fool me, Timmy, I know you have FAIRY. GOD. PARENTS. Matpat: ROBOTS. ARE. EVIL. Matpat: er uh I mean RELAXING. BY THE. FIRE
Yeah he probably does that😂😂😂😂
Lol
In warframe you can be the murderer rabbit but only on easter
heck bunny day
Okay but literally in the museum you can see a line in the floor that describes the evolution of living beings and you can clearly see that the villagers are just animals that have evolved into a more intelligent beings alongside humans. Besides, you can constantly see more humans all across the game, in your island, in other islands... Humans are just another species that live in the Animal Crossing world
Wait so u know how ape’s have humans features already and stuff so i see how a animal like that would evolve slowly into a human, but how does a frog or a bird evolve into two walking leg looking creature that’s suddenly as smart as humans? How did they evolve? Did a human and a frog have seggs or wtf
@@doritocoolranch NO DON'T RUIN FROGS FOR ME PLEASE-- ;-; 90% OF MY CAMERA ROLL IS FROGS BC THEY'RE MY FAVORITE ANIMAL-
@@doritocoolranch they just evolved to be a humanoid. Which just means they look similar and act similar to us humans
@@TheNinjaNiky they just though that paying taxes and having to pay to libe was scool
@@Lev_Malygin only the cool kids do it
In New Leaf, it's possible for grumpy characters to ask you what animal they'd be if they were an animal. Thing is, if you answer them with what animal they are, they're quick to point out that they already are that. So. There ya go.
The actual game: *the game developers just thought it was cute so they did it*
Lol
corect
Yeah they innocent
Wasn't it confirmed that your player is actually dead? That's what I've always heard.
@@redfrenchhorn4539 Alright then. Bring me the body, so I may raise it once more.
*Plot twist: The whole game is just a really long costume party and your supposed dress up as an animal but you didn't have/forgot a costume*
Y E S
Yes
This is actually a plausible theory.
Remember zipper? He is a human or something not animal in a suit.
It might be the same with the rest..
It's honestly crazy how MatPat can create a theory which random NPC dialog in Animal Crossing Wild World can completely disprove
fr i forget the game but didn't mom send us a letter that was like "why are you living w animals?"
@@daeundances it is possible that she means our character told her about how they’re living with animals, rather than seeing them herself? haven’t played the game though, so I may be misunderstanding
I like how MatPat actually said "yeah its a game made for fun" after proposing his theory, instead of pretending its what's definitely happening.
game: heres a rock Matpat: Well, it actually isn't.
Well actually its an actor Who has played in the movie jumanji and Other movies
It's a rock that secretly spring trap aka purple guy aka wiliam afton
Nintendo: releases a relaxing game for you to build your own town Matpat: *THE MAIN CHARACTER HAS A MENTAL ILLNESS * Nintendo: wait no-
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME
Matt has that chaotic #xavdaddy energy in this video lol
Mental illness? I think they were furries
@@depo3343 the second time? have you forgot the many many many times where matpat basically inserted something dark into one of nintendo's games? in a nutshell it should of been nintendo: not you again.
Like, why tho? MatPat really needs to stop with these theories they're getting way out of hand
as fun as this is..... its a japanese game. theyre all reverse gijinkas. its like when everyone lost their mind over hello kitty and dear daniel being "little girls" because most western pop cultures dont really do the whole gijinka thing, so we tend to overanalyze
What's a gijinka?
@@gothnerd887Gijinka is their word for an anthropomorphic animal. Or an animal that has human-like characteristics (such as walking or talking) but is still an animal.
@@SkeleSukei so Japanese furries?
@@hazakurasuyama9016 Exactly lol
But sometimes the villagers will say things like: "I maid this with my own paws" so they know they look that way
To be fair to the theory, they could just be playing along with the delusion or it could be the MC's mind auto changing the words in his mind to fit his delusion.
@@nightmarechevalier2529 Thats fair, but how come the villagers get fleas constantly? I don't think any normal humans would get fleas this often.
@@Callo_2823 Could be another part of the delusion, or they could have an infestation that they don't have the means to properly combat, as the ranges for flea birthrates number anywhere from 100 to multiple 1000s depending on the breed over the course of a single flea mother's life. And yes, that's just 1, now imagine having 10+.
I love how everyone’s first thought when he said they’re not animals is “Ah, yes. Furries.”
Lmfaooo ikr
Owo
Sooooo tru
I actually didn’t think of that lmao
Yes.
Can we have an episode where they take a really depressing or disturbing film or game and reason why it is actually a happy kids game
N O
Henry Bothwell interesting
Does Jak 2 count? ... Probably not; most players get frustrated at certain points.
If they gonna agree with u i hope they select "Happy Tree Friends"
Spoilers for a 15 year old game below That's just Pathologic, a survival horror game, actually just children playing pretend. Funeral games homie, those are the most inherently human thing on the planet.
I think an even better example of the character haveing some kind of out of body experience is the dream islands. You can literally travel around other people's islands without actually being there
They do comment on your look! And its funny how in Wild World on the DS Lite there was an axolotl as a shrink that would come to town every now and then and teach you to express emotions. Even in Horizons the Islanders teach you how to express certain emotions. I’ve always had a suspicion that our character is living with a certain mental illness.
Matpat: The cars in cars aren't cars Also Matpat: *Wanna see me do it again?*
I don’t like this he is ruining over but it’s still good video none the less
He’s really good at making dumb things seem smart
Cars aren’t cars they’re robots -_- 😂
I’m your thousandth like!
@@caseymudkip Thank u!!!
"If I had a Nickle for every time there was a face eating incident in Florida, I'd have two Nickle's. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice,"
Are you sure there wasnt a third case?
A reference to Dr. Doofenshmirtz. I now am at peace
*Nickel*
@@Toquesti fight me
Dr. Doof said that
Seeing this theory legit made me concern over MatPat's mental health and sanity 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe we're all just animals
I think matpat puts more thought into games than the developers do
Nah, they're actually dead kids stuffed in animatronic animal suits
HE FOUND IT OUT
Uhhh wait a sec *Whispers*yeah boys we got him How did u find it out
yes
Zipper Is Purple Guy!! lol
Obviously
I spent my entire childhood trying to figure out why peppa pig characters had pets.
He should do a film theory on that
that's a whole different channel
Maybe, there are 2 types of animals, the human-animal species, and the regular animal species. I changed society to species.
Evolution
@@antoinegaming936 yes
For the speech one, I'm pretty sure they speak a canon language, also you can change their catchphrases occasionally
animalese is just japanese speed up in a special way using a special software
A few things, in the older animal crossing games you can’t just customize your character in a mirror, what about if you play multiplayer, obviously that other player character will be another human, some villagers have dialogue if you wear the animal costume associated with them where they comment that you’re dressed like them for example if you talk to kiki while wearing a cat costume
Nintendo: Creates child friendly animal characters MatPat: Im sure you meant mental disorders
Yeah this is gonna be the first time I say this (but not the first time I think it) I'm pretty sure Mat's over thinking things here
Matpat needs to go to the fossil museum clearly shows that evolution has taken place
Why would human blathers make a museum that clearly shows that other animals are intelligent
TheItzal11 he is overthinking but maybe he is not
TheItzal11 isn’t that the point though-
Matpat : THEY ARE NOT ANIMALS! Nintendo : * sigh * *here we go again...*
Lol
lol
L0L
Yes sometimes i really wish these dumb theories would go away I’m trying to live in a cute village and breaking my back for a five star rating and I don’t need to be thinking about a weird decease while doing it thank you
@@_hamlin_07 nope i meant to do this * e *
0:22 omg now I’m thinking of The Bells by Edgar Allan Poe in the context of Tom Nook Now I’m making a parody poem, I’ll add a link when it’s done
I just hope one day *all* of his theories are confirmed by the creators
this one is disproven by many games in the series. Also Sans said he'd never wear a backwards cap in the Xbox version of Undertale thus disproving the "Sans = Ness" theorm.
Matpat: "Do you remember that guy from Florida who was eating faces." Me: "Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?"
True
Ehehehehhehehehe yes
Yes. Only in florida.
Unfortunately...
Lol
“The animals in animal crossing aren’t animals.” Yeah mate, they’re just furries.
Animal farm on a brave new world stuck in 1984 loop.
True
Ouch, way to pull on all of our heart strings
🤣🤣🤣 Yep
I made a comment about this and didn’t see this comment so sorry if it looks like I stole it
Matpat: Today we're gonna do another ruining your childhoods theory Me: classic Matpat.
13:29 also in animal crossing when you get a bed and actually sleep in it you get a special feature when you can go to other peopls islands and see what they do but they cant see you, also there is also a lady there to help you do that (which could be the angel)
"They talk like humans!" Humans: yadahyaladalayahaya
I have tried reading this 10 times and failed miserably. That is some solid evidence.
@@meanwhileinthemindofagoril1343 Lol I don't even know how I managed to say it.
closer to simlish
They do that because the dont want to do voice acting or something
@@meanwhileinthemindofagoril1343 Me I read it on my 3rd try
Fun Fact: Blathers' fear of bugs isn't irrational, it actually came from when he was young a bug laid an egg sack in his desk and he didn't notice it until it hatched and millions of little bugs came running out I'd be scared of bugs too if that happened to me, the poor guy
Poor man..
He's also scared of snapping turtles since one chased him in a parking lot.
And the snapping turtle incident.
is... is that canonical?
@@reiredacted yup, he tells you about it if you bring him a snapping turtle
6:45 "So as you can tell the cases that are being reported are pretty.... wild" *insert hilarious laughter and clapping* Great video! :D
Honestly, yes, your "animal" neighbors can actually recognize what you changed in a mirror or vanity, cause I've been playing for a while, changed my hairstyle, my hair color and eye color and have had my neighbors commenting on it, saying simple phrases like "Hey, ____, I see you've changed your hairstyle or your eye color" yadda yadda They've even been commenting on my outfit like if I put on a different shirt or pants
Then you realize that Tom Nook LITERALLY has an encyclopedia of unwanted animals
Omg...
HE DOES ????????
@@tan-tan5913 yeah the critterpedia in new horizons
@@kaotic763 oh- sorry I’m just dumb-
PPPFT-
The answer is clear, everyone are furries and they're just wearing their fursuits.
Why did you put that in my head *OWO* *WHATS* *THIS*
no
Yup pretty much the definition of the characters in animal crossing 😂
@@randompersonlol6772 im never eating at you place anymore, this is why furries are not part of the lgbt community
Century Sails what
My happy mini theory: there is nothing weird going on and all the "normal animals" are just baby animals and when they grow up they become human like
If you listen closely, nearly the whole video his voice broke at random times. I feel you, matpat.
Yeah
"You caught a frog! Or it's a new neighbor and I need to apologize." I think the game knows it doesn't make sense, and it just doesn't care.
Oh no Poor frog
i think these animals are just like primates. there them but not evolved to be.. well THEM.
IS THAT AN ACTUAL DIALOGUE
@@tamozsenpai7896 yeah i got it before.
@@tamozsenpai7896 It might not be exact, but I definitely remember something along those lines when I caught a frog
Me: oh they’re just people in costumes Matpat: you have a mental illness in this game
Hmm everyone:follows lore Matpat:ignores lore
Hmm, that might somehow have less sense
LMAO
Lmao nice joke

For 13:27 I think it can also tie in with you sleeping in your home and visiting the dream worlds or other players.
I knew a demon wolf boy in college. He was in my economics class and he said he could also control the weather, but there were no windows and he was tired. He'd also have me read his smutty fanfiction in the library whenever class got out early. Also also he'd follow me to my car every day and try to get in the back seat of my car and ask my to take him somewhere like a fast food place or gas station. Never did. A year after I dropped out, my calendar alarm went off and it said "sonso's birthday." The demon wolf boy had somehow put his birthday in my phone without me knowing.
Video game character: exists Matpat: "Mental Disorder!"
Let's he honest who tf is sane in this world

Game theory: Making cute games darker since 2011
HAHAAHVSHAJSJSJSJAJW
Sums it up quite nicely
Xd yess
*2009
That is why it says “Ruining childhoods since 2011.”
When I saw this video my brain said “SOUND ALLUSION DISCS” because I grew up with MatPats fnaf theories
4:08 maybe it's the same thing that happened to the ninja turtles
Its honestly crazy how he can find perfectly sound theories to make the games really dark that literally never crossed the dev’s minds lol
I mean the last room of the Dino exhibit shows what kind of prehistoric creatures the Animal villagers evolved from. Which honestly just debunks the theory
cue: fnaf 1
@@AgentDigits it even has one for the human character! If you stand in line with the rest above the Australopithecus skull, a light turns on, shining on your character.
@@AgentDigitsnot really. If they evolved their ancestors wouldn’t be around. Which can’t debunk the fact he saw a real owl. You played yourself
@@feiwnakausvkaxbdkebkswowbq8331 I mean we evolved from apes and there are still apes. Maybe instead of Blather’s species having evolved from modern-day owls, Blathers and all the different species of owl share a common ancestor.
So basically, “on all levels except physical, I am a wolf”
oh my god 😂
I'm going to give this comment a like but I'm not going to be happy bout it
OH MY GOSH YES
Lmfao
Lol, thought of the same thing
Couple years late to say this, but when I first saw the video I was thinking "Matpat saw a normal owl" Matpat: "An Owl."
You should do one on what happened to Sable, Label, and Mable!
Nintendo: Makes a calming game with “animals” as main characters. Matt: MENTAL ILLNESSES
Ikr lol
Its a theory which commonly unreasonably digs to much to things such as character customization which is usually present in most games
Tbh i thought the animals were failed science experiments that where exiled to to their own island/town/city
Ah, of course mental illnesses Our good ol' matpat
this almost murdered me
"If I had a nickle for every face eater in Florida, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that It happened twice"

Dr. Doofensmirsts!?!? I butured his name!! XD
13:27 Matpat missed the opportunity to talk about the dream islands (which perfectly fitted the description) and instesd talked about something that had nothing to do with what he described
The intro: ruining your childhood since 2011 😂
So that means in this game, your Dad knows you have this condition, and is pretending to be an animal for you! This also explains why the other villagers think he’s so weird!
Oh no that makes it sadder!
Why would you pin that out 😭😭
ah, yes, the animal crossing theory connected universe. and also f
You learn something new everyday?
But if you see everyone as an animal what’s the point of your dad dressing up as one?
Normal people: cute game where you are friends with animals Matpat: *M E N T A L I L L N E S S*
Lol
LOL
lol
Lol (cause everyone is is saying it) Also I like how someone ACTUALLY pointed out how obsessed his line of thinking is.
Lol
Animal crossing nh: *is the most family-friendly game in existence* Matpat: no
I don’t think the creators meant it to go this far💀
Plot twists all the animals are furries and you joined a furry community.
I wouldn’t mind that honestly 😂
@@EricDoesEverythingSeries yikes
Makes more sense than Nintendo thinking “lol let’s make the main character clinically insane”
Frindjinny6 it is just a theory. Like the flat earth theory, but more believable
As long as they don’t start suit-dry-humping each other I don’t care
Nintendo: trying to make a game with cute characters MatPat: the main character has a mental illness!
Also the off brand Easter Bunny is a serial killer, and the world is a post apocalyptic wasteland and we built our houses on graves (that's an older one, but it's a thing!)
furries
@@prince_nocturne or he's your FATHER [as the player's character]
The Idea of Animal Crossing game came to developer after he had to move from his hometown to other city for his job. He wanted to show in this game how did he feel when he moved. So yeah. He decided to portray strangers as animals.
At one point, MatPat's gonna be like, 'The Theories on Game Theory aren't Theories!'
When I put my hair in a ponytail, the villagers were talking about how “brave” I was for “changing my look”.
Mine hardly recognized me, probably because i changed from female to male (I'm genderfluid agender, identified as male that day) and made my hair a crap-ton shorter.
I was once called snooty because I edited my passport

Those are super cute
Only in Japanese version
Tonakai da .... tanukai janai
Yes
Matpat: "2 months in and I'm still doing my daily chores." Me: Hold my 2 years and +2500 hours on my island.
Why did this make me think so much about an episode of Dragons Race To The Edge where Ruffnut thinks he’s turning into a werewolf-
My personal theory is that they’ve just evolved differently, it’s like us and other apes
Wow so shocked my emojis vomited 😐😔😱🤢🤮😭
I noticed in the museum where the silhouettes are, you can see the elephant silhouette is connected to the mammoth fossil, and so on. The lines connect from every species down to the beginning.
But that’s just a theory, A GAME THEORY 😂
hey ya know. that works too 😂
But I am going to stay with the more reasonable response (may pats)
Well, there is literally a family tree in the museum that explains that the villagers are more "evolved" forms of our normal animals, or that at least they split somewhere in the tree from the "normal animals". There is even the fossil of a primate before the spot where your villager can pose. Basically they see less-evolved animals the same as we humans see monkeys.
yeah i couldnt really focus on the theory bc of that
Furo_kun can you show me plz
@@l0v3n0n3 in the fossil section of the museum there is marking on the floor showing the 'tree' of life. In the last room there is a section for your character to pose in and out shows the different branches of the other species.
@@l0v3n0n3 Look up "animal crossing new horizons complete museum tour" on youtube.
Uhh... Now it's deconfirmed
I just figured that the Animals are humans wearing costumes.
i need a full tour of the monterey bay aquarium to see how accurate it is (and if the line takes almost 1 hour to get it)
my theory is they're stuck in the middle of life and death hence the term "crossing to the other side" so they just settled instead of trying to escape
And that is why dodo airlines can't keep record of you leaving
@@uRyL. omg- youre right
Maybe that’s why the mom of our character is “somewhere else” and misses us. So everything she says in her letters is spoken to her “dead” child who is neither in heaven nor in hell nor on the earth?
Yeah maybe I’m thinking about this too much
Animal Crossing = Purgatory... interesting theory!
Game Theory: Explaining how Mario has Antisocial Personality Disorder Luigi has Identity Crisis Kirby is a pink walking amoeba and Animal Crossing has clinical lycanthropy, bipolar, and schizoprenia Really, you have nothing on Nintendo, MatPat?
I think he cinda has something agenst Nintendo
Nintendo relays on environmental and metaphoric storytelling, so things aren't usually what they look like.
@@n124ajdx No, it's just looking too deep into it. This video is a nice educational video about lysanthropy, but the theory itself is very flimsy and does a lot of stretching and leaps of logic.
yeah your (probably) right...
I don't think uncle david is ok with matpat ruining his games
This was an awsome theory and loved to hear it! Games are a great means of escape and are going to be the aid to help teach children. Like for me growing up learning came from movies or books. Now as games start to be more prominent I wouldn't be surprised that in the future games have hidden lessons not just for theory channels like MatPat's but for future generations to learn about the world.
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Mattpatt were to make a sims 4 theory he will find theory bait in anything. But his theory’s are always awesome so I’ll let it slide lol.
I have wanted a sims 4 theory for so long but have never thought of what he would theorize about-
The museum literally shows you the evolutionary branches of the villagers in the game
5765 access Really show me
atheverybest911 look in the museum and you will find it
that could just be the main character hallucinating
And,fun fact, there's a spot for you, in the end, right next to the monkey Edit: Oh god,someone made me realize how rude this sounds! It isn't, it's a spot for The human, right next to he monkey spot because we share the same evolutionary line😅😅😅
Hm I never knew that well I never played the game cuz I have no switch
Imagine if Nintendo just comes out like: *Oh- uh- nah, we just wanted to make a game with friendly humanoid animals. :/*
Thats what they did but this video is just a theory so
With normal animals
What!? Pfft nah!
Imagine nintendo just wants to make cute games that most if for young teens and not for men to look to deep into them
Ελενη Κουρη translation: imagine if Nintendo said that this kid friendly game is a kid friendly game.

Nintendo: Imma release a cute, relaxing, calming game about anthropomorphic animals and living on a peaceful island that's totally oriented towards kid and isn't dark at all! Matpat: Im about to ruin this man's whole career
He’s desperate for a theory and animal crossing is popular so let’s go grab some random mental illness Nintendo DEFINITELY thought of while making the game. The evidence is weak as a leaf and is easily torn apart and discarded.
Frindjinny6 be speaking facts
Frindjinny6 hahaha
Haha I love this

Ah yes the AFTON family in animal crossing
"Animals in Animal Crossing aren't animals" Mat: Mental illness Oh... I figured it'd be something like a post-apocalyptic world setting, with uplifted animal-human hybrids replacing humans following some event that decimated the original human population, like the increasingly severe consequences of global warming, or nuclear war, or something. This was certainly a more original take on it.
splatoon who??? i thought that it was just some different universe where humans and intelligent, evolved animals live in peace, and the island getaway is a popular profession among humans, so they can meet animals and have them move to their island for a better life 🤷♀️
I thought it was a child with his stuffed toys explaining the wacky colours
