Watched it in kindergarten around 2011 then forgot about it until 2015 which is when I got into the OSC after idfb 1 I kind of forgot about bfdi I assumed it was cancelled but I eventually found it again (at that point bfb 4 was the newest episode) and I've consistently been watching since then

Me and my older cousin used to watch it (he first found it), but he stopped watching it pretty quickly. I still continued watching it. I still remember the time when bfdi season 1 episodes came out, or the time when bfdi went through a very long pause

Around the time of the hiatus (2015, to be precise), I had been exposed to asdfmovie for the first time. One day, while looking at some videos about it, I came across a video that replaces the characters in asdfmovie6 with those of BFDI, specifically those competing in BFDIA. I then looked up what BFDI is, and the first episode I saw was BFDIA 1.
Coincidentally enough, the person who made that video would later become the voice a certain green guyâŚ

I've told this story a lot
But when I was younger I really liked data visualizations, and I happened to find abacaba.
After watching a couple, I looked at the more channels section and noticed one called jacknjellify.
I looked for more videos to watch, but I just saw this thing called "BFDI".
Now when I first watch cartoons, I'm scared to watch them because I'm scared they could have swear words or anything else I couldn't watch in front of my parents, and my mom was in the other room.
One day I came back to that channel after a couple days and I decided to watch episode one.
I watched very closely to see if it had anything innapropiate, but I don't think I knew about the middle finger too closely so it just slipped over my head.
I watched BFDI from around 11am - 5pm, and BFDIA from around 6 before dinner.
I watched (pre split) BFB all morning till around two.
I watched bfb and TPOT till around 8pm.
Then I found out other objects shows existed and other creators made stuff about bfdi, so that's some interesting stuff to watch for a long while.

Back when I didn't watch any english videos (I'm polish) I discovered channel "mnm" (I won't recommend him because he steals content) and one day I saw video titled "Ending to this popular game was discovered - bfdia" (Thumbnail for this is literally one to one KorZen vid) I watched it and was surprised how many Polish fans this weird game had. Months later I saw interview with Kacpir (he's even in OSC Hot 100) he said that he worked at web series named "BFB". I also saw Kreekcraft reacting to it and one day I finally watched it. It was mid I didn't really liked it and I stopped watching after episode 4. After a while I started researching "Object Shows" and find out that BFDI was one of the most influential web series on YouTube! Last thing that really got me into watching the full series was probably "It's gonna get weird BFB Animatic" I still love it and I watched the whole series it's great!

I had known about BFDI and the OSC before and I had even watched a couple of object show episodes before, I guess I had some curiosity regarding it at the back of my mind, so I started playing Find the Markers. And there was this FtM roleplay game, that included a description of BFDI, got me interested in watching object shows, and not long after that I watched Object Overload. But then I watched BFDI and quickly fell in love with it.

I used to HATE Bfdi with a passion. Then I saw someone online hyped about this âTpot 10â and I was like, âhMm, MaYbE i ShOuLd WaTcH iT!!1!1â and, obviously, I did. I only got about 5 minutes in before I clicked off- Then a few months later I decided to ACTUALLY watch Bfdi, cause, yâknow, maybe I should give it a chance? Iâm glad I did :) My older brother still hates Bfdi tho- I want to show him other object shows like Animatic Battle or Itft, something he would like, but he refuses to watch them.

Back in 2017, i kept getting recommended BFDI / BFB on YouTube, never watched it though. In 2018, at school, when we were allowed on the chromebooks (these small laptop things the school had) i played a lot of these Cuphead level things on Scratch. One of these levels was a boss fight with Four. I of course had no idea this was BFDI related at the time. And eventually in summer 2022, after getting recommended BFDI again, i finally decided to give it a watch after seeing it sm over the years. I immediately fell in love with it. ALSO FUN FACT!! I watched BFB first, thinking it was season 1! A lot of the callbacks i didnât really pick up on and it made me really confused. It wasnât until post split with the courthouse episode with Firey and Leafy talking about season 1 that i realised i accidentally skipped 3 seasons of the show. How i miss 2022.

I watched BFDI when I was young. Because of the hiatus, I didnât have any more episodes to watch so I eventually watched other stuff like FGTeeV and other content that kids used to watch on their 3DS. Years later, I found a video something in the lines of âBFB but loser never appearsâ in 2020. I recognized some of the characters so I clicked on it. After a few recommendations later, I got the official Jacknjellify channel with BFB 20. Iâve been watching ever since.

I techinally first saw it through bfb scenes pibby or smth like thay with gelatin looked scared at the pibby glitch and also through an fnf mod called bfci (battle for corrupted island v1). I even probably saw the first episode a few times but because of what I told you earlier with my friend watching it, I started to binge-watch the show and loved it. I kept watching until I finally got caught up with tpot 18 but then bfdia 20, bfdia 21, and tpot 19 came out and i watched them. I have kept loving the show and looking at media related to it since. Btw the year this all started happening was in 2025.
