I just realized McGucket's glasses are symbolic of his sanity. In the flashback, he first lost them when he was testing the portal. In these videos, he lost his glasses at one point when he tore out his hair. After he sees his memories, he puts on some glasses with a missing lenses to signify he's regained his sanity. Even if it's a bit broken, like he said, he can start to put himself back together again.

They even look a bit similar. Still cool though.

Did anyone notice that by day 189, Mcgucket hair is greyish when in day 74 his hair is still brown, this kinda implies that besife causing damage to the mind (And quite possible brain) to victim, prolonged exposure/usage of the Memory Eraser also causes visible phsicall effect like loosing the color of one's hair. This could implied that the memory eraser also affects the chesmistry of the body negatively and quite possible it's celular structure. Also notice how Fiedelford gradually became shorter as he started to descend into insanity. I belive that the memory eraser uses some form of radiation to affect the neural conection of the brain and thus damaging and blocking memories, but prolonged exposure to this form of radiation is harmfull for the body, the psicolocall effect might also be a direct result of the umbalanced Brain chemestry.

It makes sense when you also remember early in season 1 McGucket’s love for inventions even tho he was crazy.

The worst part is that the gibberish he was saying at the end “Yroo Xrksvi! Girzmotv!” If placed in the Atbash cipher translates to “Bill Cipher! Triangle!”. The very thing that he so desperately wanted to forget. He ended up losing everything else but the one thing he wanted gone remained in his mind haunting him

This is soo dark, the background changes already after day 22. That's very creepy

anyone else find it mildly unsettling that there's a FIVE-DAY-GAP between him erasing his memory, and proclaiming it worked five days after the blast? I mean, was he unconscious, or a vegetable, or what happened to Stan happened to him, but worse?

Jayson Klein Reckon he was “fine” for those days, but played straight not remembering he erased anything to begin with; after that Day 1 shot, Fiddleford ‘awakens’ in front of a camera, holding a alien-gun looking thing, with no idea what he was doing except for his notes, _if_ he immediately checked them. Maybe he doesn’t even pick up that anything’s amiss, figuring he just fell asleep at his table, and left to go home. Four days later, he sees Ford, hears he’s no longer working with him, and looks at his notes. “Welp, I... guess that worked!”

Fiddleford is such a good, one might even say overpowered character, and here’s why: 1. He is used in the prophecy wheel to defeat Bill Cipher 2. He is impervious to memory gun/rays. 3. Even without his sanity reclaimed, he could still remember his engineering and mechanic skills, and all of the unknown creatures Ford told him about, BEFORE getting his memory and sanity back. These are just 3 out of dozens of reasons why Fiddleford McGucket is such a good and underrated character. Like, literally. He is impervious to a FREAKING MEMORY GUN!!!!!!!

I'm proud of how mcgucket handled that, as crazy as he is, he's got a good heart and wants to move on with his life for the better❤

There's realism in this. People dont seem to realize that even the most brilliant and intelligent people still have a limit to how much trauma they can mentally handle.

The problem is more that McGucket built that device to forget what he saw in the portal, but then began to abuse it to avoid anything, becoming a coward incapable of facing problems. Same thing for the rest of the Society of the Blind Eye.

I never realized it in the moment, but that second to last memory may be the saddest one. The final turning point between Fiddleford and ‘Old Man McGucket’. You can see the last bit of sanity in his eyes as he realizes his pants are on backwards. And he has seemingly nothing to erase on this tape. He’s just there. The last of his unbroken mind just waiting to go.😢

While reading the my own copy of the cannon Journal 3, I realized how sad his story was. He left his wife and son, his entire family behind just to help Ford with the experiments. The first time he created that gun was after a certain deadly experience with a Gravity Falls creature. Soon after, he started deteriorating, ford noticed this and ended up having the gun used on him, forgetting most of the interactions Fiddleford had with the townspeople. He started to give out invitations to people in the town to join his society. One of which was the man with the bald head, he was from a freakshow the Ford and him visited. He kept using the gun until the incident, of which he disappeared, never seen by Ford again. That's likely when he overused it. His family called him out on his insanity and disowned him. That's why he tries to redeem himself to his son during the Gobblewonker episode.

This is my most favourite scene in the series, as well as the saddest for me. If McGucket never approved to help Ford in the first place, he would've been a revolutionary computer inventor instead of being an insane hillbilly. I feel bad for him, man. His whole life was ruined.

Unlike Simon and Smeagol, McGuckett did this to himself time after time. He created the device, so he should have tested it better and found out the side effects. Simon and Smeagol were both pretty much forced into their situations.

Venom0027 Rewatch the video. He didn't have the time to test it better. How is he gonna test it better anyway? He needed to make the device right away cause he didn't want to be haunted forever. Sure he "did it to himself" but I think he only used it just a few times and afterwards became too stupid to know that there would be side effects. I usually don't watch adventure time but why I can tell from Simon's is that he could've easily taken off the crown and destroyed it unless the crown was consuming his sanity or whatever.

Well for starters where the hell did they put you, Flame Princess, they dropped that subplot and we haven't heard about it since. Everything has been REALLY WEIRD this season, I'm not saying I don't like weird I'm just sick of all these strange experimental writers fucking with the show's flow. Finn and Jake seem to have had post- traumatic. Stress disorder for at least a year now

Mcgucket's downfall was heartbreaking to see.

This reminds me of when Finn and Jake found the ice kings video tapes and they learned who he used to be

I thought he was talking about the gnomes. He probably met Shmebulock.

Hm...the encoded message and finger gesture at the end both allude heavily to Bill Cipher. Okay, this might be a long shot, but I think I know how Bill might be related to McGucket's transformation. At the beginning he says he "lies awake at night." We know that Bill can control people's dreams. In "Sock Opera" Bill is hellbent on destroying the journal, suggesting that the author found something that Bill wants to keep hidden. Therefore, Bill would probably want to silence McGucket, so he entered McGucket's dreams and gave him terrible nightmares that made it impossible for him to sleep and reminded him of his involvement in the author's research. Finally, Bill planted the idea for the memory gun in one of McGucket's dreams, ensuring that McGucket's knowledge would be hidden forever and establishing a convenient way for Bill to silence people who got too close to the truth.

This was such a hilariously heavy scene. This may be my favourite moment in Gravity Falls now.

Scenes like this in kids show gets more disturbing when you're older and painfully aware of how real people completely losing their minds is...

This is the lockdown in a nutshell

2:23 this is like the Morty’s mind blowers episode of Rick and Morty. Except Mabel learns from her mistakes.

McGucket: Now you all know my secret...I USED TO WEAR GLASSES!

Now it makes sense on why he was always so paranoid, because deep deep down he still knows that he had seen some terrible things even if he doesn’t know what they are.

y’all notice how everyone in this show is left handed

Crazy how he got fleshed out after just being a joke character

If you use a machine to erase memories on yourself, how do you know it worked?

Wanna know what makes it 100x worse, he had a wife and son before he came to help Ford and was planning on going back to them until he started erasing his memories.

When I first watched this scene, my jaw was dropping with each entry. This was absolutely genius writing!
