Five Nights at Freddy's 2 was released in 2014 as the sequel to Scott Cawthon's indie horror hit, with Phone Guy returning as the voice on the night shift calls. Clips from its trailer spread quickly through YouTube, fan wikis and soundboards as the series grew, because the character's calls explained the story while hinting at hidden lore. Fans still reuse this short trailer line in edits and memes, where it works like a warning sign that the animatronics are about to move.
