We're using the years from real life—and I mean this life here. No oil crisis can top the first ten days of 2021.
So TPOT 1 came out! I'm not going to blatantly give out any spoilers (you should actually watch it, it's really good), but you might have a small idea of what happened based on the syllable count analysis, which I always review before I talk about actual episode.
The review will come shortly, but since so much had been going on last and this month with my BFDI revival, I thought I'd spice up the line analysis series for the TPOT 1 review.
Wha… how…[]
In December, I watched every single Jnj-made[1] video that contained the BFDI characters. Even the ones that are exclusive to social media. Then I recorded the number of syllables spoken by each character in each video, and placed the number on a growing timeline. I checked the Other Wiki to make sure I hadn't missed any non-canon videos (sometimes they weren't listed or I only had a transcript), and I'm pretty sure I finished them all!
Now that TPOT is in session, here is a list of who has spoken the most syllables in 149 videos related to BFDI. 118 entities have spoken,[2] but I'll be generous and include only the top 50. That's enough, isn't it?

Notes[]
- ↑ And Carykh-made etc.
- ↑ I've removed Cary and Michael (and the other real-life people) from the list. Since a lot of the extra-show videos featured them speaking as themselves, I was unsure about the fine line between a Jnj-in-real-life-focused video and an object-focused one. They'll be back, though, in the line analyses for only TPOT episodes. But just in case you wanted to know: Cary would be 45th place while Michael would be 22nd if they were counted (but only for official episode appearances).
- ↑ Expressed as an integer, not with arrows.
- ↑ Not a character, mostly without physical appearance. An early example is the "Snatch" voice from BFDI 1A.
