I’m here today to present said lore to you… and maybe make a few train puns along the way. So ALL ABOARD the TheoryTrain!!

Can’t believe that Choo Choo Charles is actually an animatronic from the 1980’s that was stuffed with murdered children
💖
@@seeingstar. L
The five nights at freddys syndrome
Every episode of game theory.
Was that the train of 87?
Can't believe that MatPat actually let Dan out of the editor's dungeon for this, props to him.
@@leeman23664 SHUT UP
Fr, unless they just recorded it in the dungeon
He had no choice, it was either Dan or (gags) Austin.🤢
Only let him into the recording studio. Then he was shoved back in the dungeon
@@gavins6419 what's wrong with austin tho?
Charles being a giant spider that is using a train as a shell also makes sense from a biological standpoint. Some other invertebrae use larger objects as protective shells to protect themselves from predators, most notably hermit crabs. Charles just took this concept, but upgraded to a steel shell.
don't forget some spieces of octopie, that uses shells, or former shells of coconuts as protection as well
@@davidbruce2460 I know, but hermit crabs felt like the better example.
Like those carapaces from Last Kids on Earth?
@@allaniadall9686 you watch Last Kids on Earth?
@@treevee7376 Yes. And I read the books. Do you, too?
Ok but sequel to choo choo Charles being about a giant spider Bus named Gus would be fantastic. Maybe Two Star could bring back a couple characters from Choo Choo Charles and have like a mini hunting team for the museum
Although having gus the bus as a spider seems like the conclusion gus doesn't have to be a spider he could be another species from the same age a Charles and he could be a predator for Charles back then
Why does the guy who's hiding the eggs looks like walter white
gus *breaking bad theme*
@@Krizzylys LMAO

The best part of this episode is Dan dying from reading all of MatPats puns
Just like the mtn dew episode! I'm glad because that one was one of my favourites
a lot of bots on this one
Aggreed
Oh hail nah 4 bots?
@Kevintzen NO YOU ARE A BOT STOP IT
I've never been so nervous for an episode of Game Theory to go live... Hope you all enjoy the episode despite it being this guy narrating.
Thank you Dan
Excellent job man, you have a more moderate tone that fits these horror theories much better. Totally understand being a little nervous, VO was a little quiet. Excellent everywhere else. Great job to all editors as well, you all do great work!
Oh Dan, we love you! 😂✌🏻
Thank you for narrating Dan! You did amazing ❤️
You did great! You have a very soothing voice
The fact that charles fears gus the talking schoolbus that educates kids on bus safety was really just icing on the cake
Perhaps it's a reference to the Thomas vs Bertie rivalry🤔
Fun fact: The dev of this game had also combined a spider model and a train model to make charles.
I absolutely LOVE Dan’s personality in this. Even if he’s mainly reading the same script, his personality still shines through at times (like when he dies at matpats puns)
The only comments here (so far) are from bots
@@Jappa3 not anymore atleast :)
@@portablejea7014 h i
The fact that Dan is so aware of MatPat's puns is amazing. A great sub in, hope MatPat gets better soon.
why is this bot spammed Im not clicking links 💀
Hope Dan narrates more Game Theory vids (also commenting to protect you from bots)
@@edsiecap898 ty
I never new what Dan sounded like.
I didnt even expected it to be that close to MatPats style, I enjoyed it alot
Dan sounds like he's gotten enough sleep and peace of mind compared to MatPat's normally FNAF-tortured and obsessed rambling. Which is hilarious because I'm assuming Mat writes his scripts, and Dan is reading it.
If Charles fears Gus, how sure can we be that Gus is also a spider?
Watch gus be a centipede
Put it to you this way: wasps lay their eggs on just about any bug they can, including spiders, and when they hatch, the newborn wasps eat their host from the inside out before bursting out like the iconic scene from Alien. Gus could be a giant wasp. A giant wasp would certainly scare a giant spider.
When he said that and I immediately thought of a centipede bus 🤢😭😭😭
Frog bus
@@Natp69 a void in the face sorounded by tatacles in a city
Dan being the narrator didnt take away a single bit of the usual charm, absolutely loved it
Ikr, I would watch some more dan theories
Kind of like how some theories are voiced by Austin as well
Loved Dan! Really great that Matt is having others come and voice now. :D I liked it, nice work Dan!!!
Dan has a great voice! I would be happy to listen to him in more videos
Dan has his own YT channel, he makes some fun content
I like when Dan takes over,it's a rare treat every now and then.It's like when Matpat has someone with him during a Theory...just shakes things up ya know.
True
I love when matpat loses sleep and gets sick and gets his editor to do the video
33% of these are bots, (Not counting mine,) also, agreed, it is nice to hear from the others every once in awhile.
Honestly, having Dan narrate is apreciable. It's a change of pace, it's refreshing. It would be nice to see him voice a video every now and then. (not that I want Mat's voice to hurt more often mind you.)
Even before seeing this it was my personal theory that Charles was a spider using the train as a protective shell, and honestly it's such a cool concept for a terrifying train monster.
it’s like that cursed image portraying lightning mcqueen as some worm inside of a car frame
I love that when matpat asks for the editors to do something nothing happens but when dan asks It does
I guess its the power of the head editor huh
I think it’s because Dan DOES do what he wants.
@@mrjamfrog3286 hi love u
Dan is very op
@@sanssonic_2568 a
Honestly was really nervous not having MatPat voicing it, but Dan KILLED it! I would 100% listen to Dan do an episode again (especially having him die over Mat's puns lol). Great episode Dan!
Fr though
We need more episodes with “head editor Dan.” Btw, it hysterical how he was dying from Mat’s puns
Glad it isn't something shitty about someone saying "Thomas is bad!", or even relating Thomas to Charles. Thanks laddie!
I love Dan’s voice. It blends well and doesn’t give you the feeling of “something’s wrong”
Would love to see it again
It was definitely... different. That's for sure.
No, no, I think you’ve got it mixed up. I got to say though, you are right, but with him being there instead of Matpat, it sort of feels off. Not sure how to explain it.
Thanks to Dan for taking over narration for ill MatPat, love his voice too, great job 😊
did you hear how he said bazooka it scars me
This theory really shows how the antagonist of a story isn't always the villain. Even though Warren is at direct odds against the goals of the player, he's not a malicious person who wants others to suffer. He's trying to protect everyone from the actual villain, Charles.
That's clear enough from playing the game, doesn't require a theory video for it
Even Charles isn’t really a villain, she’s just a mother trying to protect her eggs from humans that invaded her home.
@@cathygrandstaff1957 If his name were "Charlie" - then there would be potential that he's a female.
@@goteamslugs then where did the eggs come from??? Wait new theory on board!!!!!
@@goteamslugs wasn't charles named charles by the survivors? maybe cuz of the charles on the side of his train-hull?
Okay, when I heard the pun about the song “Crazy Train” by Ozzy Osborn, I almost cried! That song is probably one of the most nostalgic songs from my childhood! Going off the rails on a Crazy Train!!!!
This game truly is just meme incarnate. They put a secret note that alludes to a sequel named after a quote from the benchwarmers.
I was gonna put a funny quote and almost wrote out one from baseketball 🤦♀️lol
Woah, Dan did an EXCELLENT job narrating this! I'd love to see him do voice overs again, if that's not too much of an added workload.
@luciferofficialI The power of Christ compells you, begone from this comment section! BEGONE BOT! Did it work?
Totally agreed! Dan really brought his charm to the table and it's amazing
kzhead.info/sun/gM5xqreqapVsZHk/bejne.html Finally It’s here🤠
@Lucifer Morningstar 🅥 your shownsucks
YES PLEASE!
I love how obvious it is that Mat wrote the script even when someone else is reading it.
Was here when this had 666 likes mark the history
To anyone who’s wondering, 2 Star confirmed in a community post that Charles was originally yellow, like the other trains, but became red because his red paint isn’t paint, it’s the blood of his victims.
This actually supports what I was hoping to see in a possible sequel, we see many eggs in the cavern so imagine something based on boats, but there are 3 Charles, one is in the ocean in a submarine, one is on the surface being a boat, and one being a plane patrolling the air. You can even make it a really rainy thing so you can't see anything
Yo, MatPat went off the rails for this one.
🤣🤣🤣
@Kevintzen I got you, fam.
Pun intended?
W
😂
I love how Dan is just dying from all of MatPat's puns
me too, its very funny
😇 1:09 The Dad-Jokes from MatPat are so uniquely Funny & Cringe... ... Even Head Editor Dan be like: "And... ... I can''t believe Matt made me read that." 😹
😂
Dan props to you getting out of the dungeon. Mathew please get better soon.
As much as I love Matpat, I'd love to hear more cameo narrations from other members of the team: Austin, Dan, Steph, Amy, even Ash.
Reminds me of when Zoran Gvojic took over Dead Meat’s Kill Count while James A. Janisse was on his honeymoon last year.
Ollie's first theory would be awsome
One where it’s mirror matt but he’s just bullshitting the entire theory
Nah, I feel differently. Mat makes the show imo.
y did you say _even_ Ash? What's wrong with Ash?
Okay two minutes in and I am IMPRESSED with Dan's narration. When does he get his own series of videos?
no
I mean the guy has his own channel
@@CyberweaverVT wait where????
@@ScarabD ThatCybertChannel
Whenever mat is sick
I cant believe that Dan is not fired for how mean he is about matpats puns those puns are AMAZING
Poor mat, the guy just got gut punched by life Dan dieing from having to read puns is the best part of this episode
Gotta say I love Dan's hot-chocolate voice. It's like listening to an audiobook
Meh
You mean hot-White chocolate voice
@@Mrbrawleristhebest 😐
@@PirateShux Epic idk what you mean by that but I Iove your hot-yellow chocolate voice
It's hilarious how you can tell it's still Matt's writing, even with someone else reading the script. On another note, if you want to see some amazing runs of Choo Choo Charles, check out AstralSpiff's runs! He's managed to keep Earl alive for an entire run and is working on other stuff for the game

Eugene* (CAREFUL! DONT LET THE GUN OVERHEAT! HES NOT TAKING ENOUGH DAMAGE! GET IN SOME HEADSHOTS!) I was there for the streams, so many voice lines,,,
HES NOT TAKING ENOUGH DAMAGE.
I love Dan just cringing at matpats puns 😂😂❤
The thought of Charles just being a gigantic spider with a steam engine as his shell is pretty interesting. Also, that parody of Thomas the tank engine was a brilliant way to start the video, lmao.
The fact that I clicked on this video while in a sick medicine induced haze, only to realize Matpat’s sick too is honestly validating. Get well soon Matpat :)
Bro im sick aswell

Can we get even more puns when Dan has to narrate the video? His reaction is endlessly entertaining.
I love that they made Tom do the intro because he has the best English accent on the team
Thank you Dan, we appreciate your hard work in reading this video in place of Mat while he's out sick and we recognize the effort you put into all of the dad jokes in this video 💜💜💜
💜💜💜
get well soon mat
MatPat said that the rest of team Theory would be in the show more and I can’t be any happier! Dan you are AWESOME!
Usally its two Mat or Austin Theory or Science
I feel like it's actually just Dan himself making these jokes and pretending that it was matpat's joke just because he could. But hey, that's just a theory, a film theory!
Dan did great with the narration! I love trains and I love horror-I enjoy hearing more investigation on this game!
7:57 i think if the 4th channel actually turns out to be a conspiracy channel that would wrap the squad up so well you guys do amazing work we all really appreciate it
That’s exactly what I was thinking
Thought about this too and they’ve made this joke before with the same symbol. But I don’t think they would do it cause of all the real world and political backlash that could happen. Just a guess tho
@@myrigatoni depends on the conspiracies. There's a lot of weird non political conspiracy theories, Internet spookiness and stuff like that
I think this was an unofficial mention, teasing that the new channel is going to be here soon, He did similar with film theory i think
I thought this and also they wouldn't just make a logo for nothing so i really hope it is
I don't know what's better: Dan doing this episode or the fact that you can hear the cringe when he says the puns! GLORIOUS!
I hope you get better soon, Matt! And I'm sorry Ollie got sick too, that sucks! Stay hydrated and rest up please, thanks for working so hard
14:33 SCP-2086 be like
i love it when matpat always gives his responsibilities to dan because of an illness
This episode was great, and the guest voice while Matpat is sick was awesome! We theorists love the editors too, you had nothing to worry about big man

Dan’s voice is really soothing! I’d love for him to do another episode! (And cringe due to Matt’s puns)
What I'm curious about is how Warren knew destroying the eggs would only strengthen Charles.
Dan is actually a refreshing take for a Game Theory host! Wouldn't complain if he did this more often
yeah, true 👍
Yeah for real!!
I agree
yeah, he has a softer voice
agreed
Honestly I really enjoy the episodes where Dan does the narration! He does a fantastic job. Don't get me wrong, I still love MatPat's narration just as much, but you can really tell Dan really tries, and I love him crying over the puns.

I honestly hope that Head Editor Man can get to voice a few more episodes himself. Specifically ones filled with puns that he has no idea about. Was funny to hear him wonder about Matt's sanity

I want more of Dan! His reactions are amazing 😂
Editor Dan coming in clutch. Did such a great job!
man imagine if they got markiplier to guest voice matpat’s theories as like a last resort
I love this. This being the Head Editor Dan taking over the voice over. I love the idea of Theorists going the way of SciShow and getting a rotating group of VO. I don't know who else they could use, but Dan is great at it.
I wouldn’t be against more videos with Dan. He’s great!
I've been following Game Theory since, well since Game Theory. I love Matt and I love his theories and I love the team, and I gotta say; head editor Dan hit it out of the freaking park and I want more of it
Matt's voice went to theory heaven to recover the fnaf lore for us. What a hero
And then the spiderman meme of "carefully, he's a hero" *queue the men dancing with the coffin* lmao
i want more dan... hes a rlly fun narrator
@OfficialGameTheory.1 kzhead.info/sun/oNSeYbZurZerda8/bejne.html
Was so excited to see Dan on the channel for a whole video. Came back to say it needs to happen more. The man is such a professional.
I want more episodes with Dan narrating. It's kinda relaxing. Having some with Mat and some with Dan would make it a perfect balance
I'm halfway in, and I already want Dan to do more voiceover
I was thinking that maybe Charles wasn’t too bad because when he tried warning the player away from the eggs, it seemed more fearful of repercussions rather than some sort of greed or evil plan.
You mean Warren?
@@scarab4195 I think his middle name is Charles
@@anonymousperson3916 that’s his last name.
@@anonymousperson3916 I just said that because there are two Charles in this game but one is just called Charles while the other has a last name and I wanted to avoid confusion
8:20 his last name is “warlord” ?
Well that line hits different now 12:17
fr
I like how he just reads mattpat text but without the emotion coming with. It's somehow relaxing.
@Seeing Star uh I think that's the wrong clip man.
13:32 Dan: "...and betray him." My head: "...and betrain him." :)
Is it just me, or does editor Dan have a great voice? I've listened to this video 10 times already.
13:50 this man thought he was the scp foundation
I don't mind dan being the narrator for any horror theories now 😂 I'm now used to it even though it's just minutes of him narrating.
We rarely get Dan reading the script. I hope Matt feels better soon.
Let’s get more episodes of Dan narrating
Fun fact:the game dev who made Choo Choo Charles named two star he recorded making a he made Charleses model by designing the face then just combined a spider and a train and just polished it.
Fun fact, the creator of Choo Choo Charles made this as a challenge with one of his friends, the challenge was to create a game that would scare the other, based off of each others worst fear, the creators friend made a game about a giant snake, and as you know he created choo choo Charles.
you have that twisted, the creator of choo choo charles made the no snake hotel game for that challenge, his friend made a game based on underwater fears the creator had.
this is not true lmao
It’s so cool to see Dan take over for Matt. I hope this becomes a regular thing so that Matt can rest his voice and recover when needed and not feel pressured to push out videos as much.
11:18 - 11:24 maybe the eggs were virtually indestructible instead? 13:01 - 13:05 correction: breaking the eggs itself doesn't make the charles stronger, it is by putting it in the magical prism (which sucks the life force out of them) that transforms & makes it stronger by using the energy from the egg's life force 14:09 - 14:24 I don't remember there being a note like that when i played but maybe i didn't find or notice it, it's definitely something to think about tho. Btw, the writing is hilarious 😂
Props to you for stepping in for Matt to deliver us this theory we really appreciate it 😁❤️
Matpat should make 'The Conspiracy Theorist' channel for sure please. Like it would be a new addition and we can learn something new too.
He's talked about why he won't ever be doing this. Long and short of it is it would make him paranoid and fear for his safety, therefore ruining his mental health.
@@zapcV but why will Conspiracy theories ruin his mental health like can you explain in brief please?
@@zapcV and at which video/place he talked about this?
It doesn't hurt anyone's safety when making those videos,right?
