Jolly 4 is part of the Jolly series of fan-made horror games inspired by Five Nights at Freddy's, in which players survive nights against hostile animatronic characters and a jumpscare ends a failed attempt. The jumpscare audio from the game has been clipped and shared online by players and editors, appearing in gameplay videos, horror compilations and short-form edits. It remains popular because it instantly signals a classic FNAF-style scare without needing any context, making it easy to reuse for pranks, reactions and tense moments in unrelated videos.
