IDFB 2 is the second episode of IDFB, the third season of the BFDI series and the 39th episode overall. It was planned to be released on October 1, 2016, but was delayed to December 1, 2016, due to Cary Huang entering college. Eventually, the episode was postponed until further notice because Cary and Michael Huang were in their sophomore year of college. It is currently on the backburner while work is being done on The Power of Two and Battle for Dream Island Again.

To make up for the delays, Michael Huang decided to make a short animation for each of them. The first one was released on October 1, 2016, the original release date of IDFB 2, and was named "Paper Towel". The second short was planned to release on December 1, 2016; however, it has also been delayed for an unknown time.

Updates

On September 25, 2016, it was announced that IDFB 2 would be late due to Cary Huang entering his sophomore year at Stanford University, his former college. It was also announced that the .fla files for BFDI would be released on bfdi.tv.

On October 1, 2016, the original release date for IDFB 2, a short called Paper Towel was released.

On November 23, 2016, a video called BFDI's Best Hiatus Ever was released, explaining that IDFB was on an "intentional hiatus" so Cary and Michael could work on past projects, such as Ten Words of Wisdom (TWOW), its future second season, Abacaba, and the rest of BFDIA 5b.

On May 11, 2017, Cary Huang announced that he had left college. Still, he wishes he had stayed, according to a video on his channel, Carykh, called "AI makes new BFDI screenshots! (2 min. of ML & 22 min. of Cary whining about problems)".

On June 22, 2017, the BFDI short Ballers was released, announcing a meetup in the Mix Restaurant in Anaheim, California.

VR Headset

On October 22, 2017, Jacknjellify posted a tweet showing a drawing of a character that looked like a VR headset, with the accompanying text "A host with a screen". There is speculation that this could be the host of IDFB 2 and onward, however there is no evidence of this being true, plus there is no competition going on in IDFB as the viewers only vote on people to free from the TLC/LOL.

On November 3, 2017, the first episode of the fourth season, BFB, was released, titled "Getting Teardrop to Talk". It was never officially announced that IDFB 2 had been cancelled, but it is still indefinitely delayed.

On August 31, 2023, a community post had been posted by Jacknjellify on YouTube, announcing a new episode. While many speculated that it could have been either IDFB 2 or TPOT 7, it turned out to be BFDIA 6: "Well Rested", leaving IDFB's fate further up in the air. However, Sam Thornbury has stated on the HTwins Central Discord server that the remaining BFDIA episodes will chronologically lead up to IDFB 1, possibly hinting at its return after BFDIA ends.

On June 29, 2024, at the BFDI x II tour meetup, a fan asked if IDFB would continue after BFDIA. Cary's response: "I feel like, pretty much, yeah".

Trivia

Jacknjellify joking about the hiatus

• The following will happen if the episode comes out:
  • One character in the Tiny Loser Chamber, which is inside the Locker of Losers will be brought back as decided by the viewers' vote as mentioned in IDFB 1. This character is Match, as it was revealed that they earned 3,427 votes.
  • The recommended character who received the most upvotes on the Recommended Character Reddit page will enter the TLC/LOL.
    • It is incredibly likely that this will no longer happen as the only new characters debuting in BFB are Loser, Foldy, Stapy, Liy, and Profily, and the TLC/LOL is locked shut.
  • This episode will be the fifth episode ever where one contestant will leave the TLC, following "Insectophobe's Nightmare", "Half a Loaf Is Better Than None", "The Glistening", and "Hurtful!".
• As per recent statements made by the Huang twins, IDFB's indefinite hiatus has grown more ambiguous, as both Cary Huang's and Michael Huang's words regarding its future differ considerably.
  • During a live stream hosted on the Fernozzle YouTube channel, Michael briefly discusses why IDFB immediately went on hiatus after its premiere and states that it was too ambitious for them to work on it due to its grand popularity.
  • During one of Satomi Hinatsu's BFB animation live-streams on Hazel Cricket, a statement was put out by Cary Huang in the live chat section, which read that any secrets relating to IDFB could not be said until IDFB is finished, contradicting Michael's statement.
    • Cary also remarked on IDFB 2 in response to a question during Jacknjellify's 2018 BFDI meetup.
• The voting timer goes into the negatives on bfdi.tv. However, it was confirmed by Michael and Cary that this was on purpose. Cary has said on Discord that he's not fixing it because Michael made it, and it isn't doing any harm. The counter is now located on mail.bfdi.tv.
• This was the first episode that has been delayed twice.
• A video about the second delay of the episode, called BFDI's Best Hiatus Ever, was posted.
• This was the fifth episode to be delayed. The previous ones were "Zeeky Boogy Doog", "Get in the Van", "It's a Monster", and "Well Rested".
  • This is also the only one delayed that is not a BFDIA episode.
• The hiatus of this episode has been joked about by Michael Huang on Jacknjellify's Twitter when he tweeted that IDFB 1 had 3 million views, calling the views a "countdown to the next episode, and it keeps going up!"
• It's possible that IDFB 2 might feature the top 25 upvoted recommended characters recommended from a Reddit thread, which ended up appearing in "Lick Your Way to Freedom".
  • This is unlikely, however, as the recommended characters that were originally supposed to appear in BFDIA 6 did not appear in "Well Rested".
• It is possible that this episode could be released on October or December 1, 2026, which would be 10 years after its original and delayed release date, as the same thing happened to "Well Rested".
• They confirmed IDFB will continue after BFDIA ends at the BFDI x II Tour 2024 QnA.
