YMMV / CG5

Go To

  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Was the Gray Crewmember in "Show Yourself" actually the imposter the entire time, or did he just go insane with paranoia?
  • Complete Monster: Don't Hug Me I'm Scared song "Father's Day": Roy Gribbleston, serving as the narrator of the song, is exempt of the morally enigmatic traits that his original counterpart possesses. A spiteful egotist looking to punish his son Yellow Guy for an undisclosed act, Roy places Yellow Guy into a torturous neverending hell disguised as a children's TV show. Roy, while putting on a benevolent disposition, forces Yellow Guy along with his friends into playing a part in his game by making him join a cult; tormenting him with traumatizing imagery that leaves him shaken; and even making him eat one of his own friends when they try to escape. Ultimately, upon his former collaborator, Red Guy, finding out of his actions, Roy lashes out at him, stating that he ruined everything while trying to stop him from pulling the plug on his show, wanting the torture of Yellow Guy and his friends to never end.
  • Draco in Leather Pants: The music video for "Let Me Through" shows various versions of Foxy ruthlessly killing/dismembering the other animatronics (including a scene where Nightmare Foxy kills one of the other Foxys) and making some very clear death threats to the security guard while trying to get into the guard's room. Yet many people in the comments sympathize with Foxy, seeing him as just lonely and wanting to hug him. To be fair, Foxy also gets the DILP treatment a lot in his home series, so the response to CG5's Foxy is almost certainly carried over from existing interpretations of him.
  • Funny Moments:
    • "Area 51" is hilarious in general with the cheerful melody and the dancing aliens in the music video.
    • From "A Man Has Fallen Into the River in LEGO City":
      "I'm not saying that he will die, but it looks like... he'll probably die."
  • Heartwarming Moments: The entirety of "Never Grow Up" comes off as this as it is about how childish and sweet SCP-999 is, and how much the protagonist of the song loves him.
  • Magnificent Bastard:
    • Henry Stickmin songs "Failure to Success" & "I'ma Walk Right In": The titular Henry Stickmin is portrayed as a far more competent planner when in comparison to canon. A down-on-his-luck criminal looking to make the big bucks, he attempts to break into a bank by hiding inside a money bag, only to end up being caught by the guards. Now in prison, Henry doesn't waste a moment making his escape, using his failures as a way of leading himself to success, Henry manages to break out of West Mesa Penitentiary by either sneaking out, busting his way through the guards in badass fashion, or getting a cop falsely accused of kidnapping him. Now a free man, Henry sets his sight on a Tunisian Diamond, wanting to make his "millions and zillions", he forms a scheme of either brute forcing it through the guards, taking the diamond through sneaky infiltration, or allowing the Center for Chaos Containment to cause a ruckus allowing the diamond to fall into his clutches. Either way, no matter how many failures he may have to endure, Henry ultimately manages to get exactly what he wants in the end and does it with style.
    • Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator song "Labyrinth": Henry Emily, similar to his original counterpart, was one of the founders of Fazbear Entertainment. Seeking to bring everything to an end once and for all, he designs an inescapable laybrinth disguised as a Freddy Fazbear's establishment. Hiring an unsuspecting volunteer to lure in William Afton, his daughter Elizabeth, and the other unrested souls to the establishment, Henry uses the sounds of crying children to keep them occupied before setting the entire building ablaze, putting an end to every remaining face of Fazbear's, bringing the story to an end once and for all. A Well-Intentioned Extremist fully willing to put others in harms way to get the job done, Henry, just like his canon counterpart, proves himself to be one step above every other character in the song.
  • Moment of Awesome: "Every Door" is an awesome piece in general, but this line stands out for a few reasons: the sophisticated language, the clever rhyme, and CG5's great acting, especially in the Suddenly Shouting bit at the end:
    The retributive rhythm of the metronomic master
    It echoes through the halls, I think it's getting FASTER!
  • Narm Charm: In "Let Me Through," the idea of the grotesque Hostile Animatronics having CG5's gentle, soulful voice should be ridiculous. Heck, when he sings for Funtime Foxy, his voice almost sounds like Lionel Richie! Yet his voice is falsely reassuring in a way that is absolutely scary, and very fitting for the Subverted Innocence seen throughout the FNAF series.
    There's so much we need to explore
    I... mean... nooo-oooo harm!
  • Nightmare Fuel: "Every Door" is easily one of CG5's creepiest songs. He takes Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning, a Mascot Horror game with a rather tongue-in-cheek tone, and turns it into a chillingly realistic portrayal of an innocent person running from a psychopath. The tone of the music and the animation in general is depressing, dark, and bleak. Baldi's animations and voice acting (courtesy of Caleb Hyles) make it clear that he is COMPLETELY unhinged and aggressive to boot, and you can hear the protagonist getting more frightened and desperate as the song goes on.
