Freddy Fazbear is the lead animatronic bear from Five Nights at Freddy's, the horror game series that turned its restaurant mascots into internet icons after its first release in 2014. Fan edits soon began remixing the characters into comedy, music and dance clips, and beatbox versions became a popular way to soften Freddy's scary image. Shared through soundboards, short videos and gaming streams, this beatbox take survives because it is instantly recognisable to FNAF fans and easy to reuse as a short, funny audio gag.
