The Bateman nextbot grew out of the nextbot chase trend in Garry's Mod, where flat character images hunt players through custom maps at high speed. The Bateman version uses the suited Patrick Bateman figure from American Psycho, turning a familiar film character into a relentless meme predator. Clips of the chase spread through YouTube and TikTok gaming edits, and the matching audio became easy to recognise on its own. It remains popular because the joke is instant: a calm scene, a distant threat, then a full sprint for survival.
Über diesen Sound
Bateman's sound is the nextbot chase audio from Garry's Mod meme videos, widely used for sudden jumpscares, pursuits and funny horror edits online.
Bateman's sound is a short, tense chase clip tied to the Bateman nextbot, the grinning suited character that relentlessly pursues players through maps. It builds instant dread with a hurried, unsettling presence that feels both scary and absurd at once. Because the nextbot is known for appearing without warning, the audio has become a shorthand for being hunted in a game. Viewers recognise the danger immediately, even before the character fills the screen. That mix of horror timing and meme silliness is why creators drop it into edits when a normal walk suddenly turns into a frantic escape.
