Doey the Doughman first appeared as a central character in Poppy Playtime Chapter 4, where his dough-like body and unpredictable, monstrous transformations made his encounters especially frightening for players. Fan creators have since remade his jumpscare audio to capture that sudden, overwhelming moment for use outside the game. These remakes circulate on soundboards and in short-form videos, where editors reuse them for horror content, gaming reactions and pranks. The sound endures because Doey remains a recognisable figure from the series, and a short, loud jumpscare still delivers an immediate reaction without needing any context from the game itself.
