Freddy Fazbear is the mascot bear of Five Nights at Freddy's, the indie horror game series that became a major online phenomenon after its first release in 2014. The animatronic characters, their unsettling designs and their distorted sounds have fuelled countless memes, fan videos and reaction clips ever since. This short laugh captures that mix of childhood mascot and horror villain, which is why creators still reach for it when they want an instantly recognisable signal that something strange, funny or frightening is about to happen.
