Funtime Freddy first appeared in Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location, released in 2016, as a redesigned, entertainment-focused version of Freddy Fazbear with a hand puppet named Bon-Bon. His jumpscare became one of the game's most shared moments as players recorded their reactions and clipped the scream for online videos and soundboard collections. Because the sound is instantly recognisable to FNAF fans and needs no context to startle someone, it is still reused in horror compilations, fan animations and meme edits almost a decade later.
