Expunged comes from Dave and Bambi, a popular Friday Night Funkin' mod built around the characters Dave and Bambi, where Expunged appears as a corrupted, antagonistic version of Bambi. Voice lines from the mod have circulated widely in fan edits, gameplay clips and short-form videos, where players reuse short lines to signal danger, mockery or a sudden turn. Because the character is instantly recognisable to Friday Night Funkin' fans, even a brief line carries strong context without explanation.
