1. 1:25:24 I actually think that the reason theres no human is because their entire being gets transported into the "game" so theres no human left behind also because otherwise only one person vould ever get transported

2. As someone who saw an escalator accident i can assure you it is absolutely horrifying. I dont want to go into detail but, Its not a pretty sight, and to this day i have a fear of escalators.

3. I thought of N64 and got the nostalgic references but didn't notice so many.

4. Hey MatPat, something I noticed about the characters is that they're all almost how popular entertainment has evolved over humanity's generations. Kinger has been there the longest just like how chess was invented in the 6th century AD. Another thing that points to your theory would be Ragatha. Why cant you think of a game about her? Becuase it is just referring to the actual doll that children would use to entertain themselves. Next after Ragatha might be Gangle representing plays and dramas. Then clowns and circuses like Caine and Kaufmo. And then you start the digital era with Zooble and Pomni. Finally Jax could be the more modern entertainment as he is the polished and symmetric one. And then it all culminates into the "future" entertainment of VR represented by the headset.

5. they are toys a raggedy ann doll, a plush rabbit, a chess piece, a ribbon and mask , and jester doll, zooble is this very specific mix and match toy from the 90s

6. YES, I LIVED ON CONSTANT FEAR OF GETTING SPAGHETTI'D BY AN ESCALATOR. YES, I ALWAYS TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO POLISH MY SHOE WITH THOSE BRUSH THINGY ON THE SIDES OF THE ESCALATORS

7. Caine is so powerful, he put his two "All seeing eyes" into Matpat's studio 😂

8. I watch a long with a bit of Nux reactions but this is one that I left bout 10 mins in to see myself first.

9. I'm scared of escalators but I love polishing my shoe

10. hey so something i just noticed,there are numbers all over the place

    in the gloink hole there is dice with numbers on them
    in certain parts of the digital circus there are numbers on blocks

    i don't know if it means anything but it seems intentional

    please like this so matpat can see , because this could actually be important

11. Some observations/theories I have:
    The fact that Caine(seemingly) wasn't planning on Pomni entering The Void, and had to be alerted of such, suggests that
    A* He may be able to see all, but has to actively choose when this ability is on or off.
    B* He isn't actually as powerful as he claims to be

    I also noticed the in the painting MatPat focused on at 49:40, in the center there's a black dot. But it doesn't look like one of Caine's 'eyes', it looks more like a camera. This suggests that
    C* Someone ELSE is observing the circus.
    D*(when coupled with B*) Caine's 'eyes' are a misdirect, and the cameras are his TRUE way of seeing.[This is supported by his way of being alerted, the watch, is tech-based, instead of something more in line with 'Magic-Floating-Eyes']

    Small counter-argument that Caine IS Omnipotent: 'Pomni' can very easily slot into the cadence of the theme song where 'Kaufmo' once did. So it's possible Caine already KNEW Kaufmo had Abstracted that day and pulled in Pomni to replace him.

12. I’ve been waiting for this

13. Id originally assumed it was a kinda SAO situation, but after Mat mentioned it, it being more akin to how Halo makes AI would make sense, in they copy a human's memory.

    One possible theory: its an experiment on making true humanlike AI. The iteration if people pointing out a seeming one of each type rule, and them not remembering their names could be an intentional thing. Humans can get attached to characters especially if they name them, plus if theyre copies it may feel weird observing an AI with your name.

    With this idea, maybe each one has varying levels of knowledge carried over as they test how much actually needs to be copied to get a viable human ai, with the failures Abstracting due to not being complete?

    If so, and we want to tou with the idea Jax knows more due to his nods at the camera (as opposed to it just being part of his cartoon character likeness) he couldve simply been coppied over more fully and was intended as another pair of eyes to help move things along. Also of the main cast, if we're going off of assuming this is in a nore western country, Jax is the most normal seeming name, its possible he couldve been like, Jackson or something ajd "forgot" his name and chose something similar to facilitate his integration. Or all this could just be a side effect if his form triggering toon logic.

14. 59:05 When Kinger asked Zooble if they experienced a game show inside the Gloink Queen, it's most likely a reference to one of Gooseworx's other animation Little Runmo where the character gets swallowed and had to participate in a game show in order to escape

15. If Jax goes insane, his “trapped realm” would have doors with keys

16. the teapot in the intro is actually the Utah Teapot, which was sort of an insider joke in the early days of computer animation

17. 33:47 WORM ON A STRING WORM ON A STRING

18. At 1:06:56 it remanded me of the black mirror episode

19. Game show thing is reference to writers/animators previous work I think?

20. At the beginning, I realized that Caine talked to Jax about stuff to do, which adds onto the fact that Jax has access to the keys and knows people secrets. Also, he appears to be the most chill and cocky towards everyone.
