Fredbear is one of the original animatronics in Five Nights at Freddy's, the horror series created by Scott Cawthon that began in 2014, and Fredbear's Family Diner is central to its backstory. Short scare cues like this spread through fan games, YouTube edits, and soundboards because they are instantly recognisable to players. It sits alongside the classic FNAF jumpscare scream as a staple for fan-made nights, remixes, and horror compilations, long after the early games made the sudden animatronic attack a defining part of the series.
