— The Opening Theme.
Fazbear and Friends is an Minecraft-style animated series based on the main cast of Five Nights at Freddy's by ZAMination
. The show follows the wacky misadventures of Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, and their many friends as they get themselves into trouble while trying to manage their pizzeria.
The show also features crossovers with various other games and series such as Minecraft, Friday Night Funkin', Bendy and the Ink Machine, Doki Doki Literature Club!, Among Us, Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning, Poppy Playtime, and even Squid Game.
Fazbear and Friends provides examples of:
- Adaptational Badass: Unlike in their main game where they were simply helpless civilians, Sayori, Natsuki, and Yuri are skilled enough to assist Monika against Boyfriend in a rap battle.
- Adaptational Heroism: Many characters from the series are much nicer than their malicious canonical counterparts.
- Adaptation Personality Change: Whereas canon!Circus Baby was quiet and secretive, this one is proud and loves being the center of attention.
- Affectionate Parody: Of the FNaF series and other such series in general.
- Ambiguously Bi:
- Bonnie made out with Circus Blue-by, showed attraction to Girl Bonnie and accepted a blind date with Purple Guy, and didn't seem to mind dating a guy.
- Chica makes a few attempts to flirt with men and her jaw dropped after seeing Circus Baby for the first time.
- Back from the Dead: Many deceased characters show up perfectly fine even after dying in the show and no one questions it.
- Berserk Button: Never say magic isn't real in front of The Puppet.
- Black Comedy: Despite being a Lighter and Softer kids show, the series isn't above using dark humor. Such as Circus Baby casually talking about a time she had a person's innards scooped out and the Fazbear Gang's casual reaction to cremating a corpse.
- Brainless Beauty: Circus Blue-by isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
- The Bully: Purple Guy and Purple Girl hang around the pizzeria solely to torment the animatronics and the children there.
- Casanova Wannabe: After Alice kicks him to the curb, Bendy flirts with Girl Bonnie and every other female he lays his eyes on. He fails miserably.
- Comically Small Bribe: The Announcer gets the cast to participate in the Squid Game offering them a $15.00 Walmart Giftcard.
- Decomposite Character: Purple Guy and Springtrap are different people here.
- Edible Ammunition: In the battle against Boyfriend, Natsuki uses a bazooka that launches cupcakes.
- Egopolis: Circus Baby turns the pizzeria into this mere days after arriving. Thankfully Freddy and crew convince her to tone it down.
- Expy: Circus Baby and Circus Blueby are based on Kat and Ana From Warioware.
- Gold-Colored Superiority: As a show of their wealth, the Animatronics have their outer layer turned gold to reflect their new found wealth.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Like canon, Monty has a ferocious temper. Gregory and Freddy try to help him over come said temper, so he doesn't get fired.
- Inferiority Superiority Complex: Like canon, Roxy has one. She breaks down and cries when someone insults her, only to get back up again and praise herself when someone compliments her.
- Jerkass: Purple Guy, Purple Girl, Foxy (to a lesser extent), Funtime Freddy & BonBon, the Tutorial Unit, and Bendy.
- Loony Fan: Vanny is this to the Fazbear crew, even going as far as to kidnap them and Scott himself just to create Security Breach.
- Love at First Sight: Deconstructed. Purple Guy and Purple Girl develop feelings for each other when they first meet, but he ruins it by calling her an uncultured swine for not having a purple car. He then develops an unhealthy obsession and stalks her.
- Mind over Matter: The Puppet has psychic abilities, which she uses to smash Purple Guy against the ground after he annoyed her.
- Mythology Gag: Girl Foxy and Girl Bonnie were based off of confusion about them being women when they were first released.
- Other Me Annoys Me:
- Foxy gets into a competition with Girl Foxy after she insults his piratehood.
- Chica is clearly envious that everyone finds Toy Chica more attractive than her.
- Original Character: Purple Girl, Purple Dog, Girl Foxy, Girl Bonnie and Circus Baby's "Twin Sister"; Circus Blue-by. More recent shorts have focused more on the Security Breach crew.
- Out of Focus: The Fnaf crew doesn't appear at all in Boyfriend vs. Monika and Poppy Playtime vs. Squid Game.
- Pink Means Feminine: Foxy and Bonnie's female counterparts are pink.
- Proud Beauty: Circus Baby believes that she is the sexiest woman in the cast and believes this makes her the leader of the girls. Naturally, the other girls disagree.
- Running Gag: Vanny boops Freedy's nose and is ecstatic that it squeaks.
- Stalker with a Crush: Purple Guy becomes incredibly obsessed with Purple Girl, stalking her in a tree.
- Stripperiffic: Like canon, Ballora's "clothes" consist of a tutu and what would be a piece of cloth draped over her shoulders and just long enough to cover her chest.
- Suddenly Voiced: Huggy Wuggy, despite having the intelligence of a dog in his debut episode, can speak properly in his later appearances.
- Would Hurt a Child:
- Purple Guy loves messing with kids, whether stealing a birthday wish or popping a balloon.
- Purple Girl pushes a kid down and calls him fat while going to her car.
- Yandere: Like in her home series, Monika will kill anyone she considers a threat to her "relationship" with Freddy (or the viewer).
- You Are Fat: Springtrap makes a caricature of Purple Guy, telling him he's fat. Purple Guy then has a heart attack.
