Blocky is a contestant in Battle for Dream Island, the animated web series that continued through BFB and The Power of Two, often shortened to TPOT. His exaggerated screams became reusable clips in fan edits, remixes and soundboards, shared alongside other cartoon screams like the goofy yell and the FNAF 2 scream. This alternate take spread because it is instantly recognisable to BFDI fans yet still works out of context as a generic panic reaction for memes and short videos.
