History YMMV / FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator

* ItWasHisSled: Scott trolled the fanbase once again. This game is ''FNAF 6''.

** William Afton, the BigBad of the franchise, is technically speaking the BigBad, but is still largely DemotedToExtra, with most of the spotlight being given to his daughter, who was introduced just one game beforehand. [[spoiler:Even in death, he doesn't get any FamousLastWords, and is barely mentioned in the ending besides one scene]].

* MagnificentBastard: The "[[MysteriousEmployer Cassette Man]]" is actually [[spoiler:[[GreaterScopeParagon Henry Emily]], the creator of the animatronics and one of the co-founders of Fazbear Entertainment, alongside his [[EvilFormerFriend friend and business partner]], [[Characters/FiveNightsAtFreddysWilliamAfton William Afton]]. After Afton murdered Henry's beloved daughter along with five other children, Henry [[ItsAllMyFault held himself responsible]] for decades and returned with [[BatmanGambit a complex revenge plan]]. Creating a new restaurant and turning it into an elaborate and near-inescapable trap, Henry lures Afton to the establishment and keeps him distracted for days on end with the sound of children crying, while also sending his Lefty animatronic to capture the Puppet, containing his daughter's soul, and bring it to the building. In the true ending, Henry finally sets the pizzeria ablaze, killing himself, the player, and all the remaining animatronics [[CruelAndUnusualDeath in agonizing fashion]], while freeing the children's souls and [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysVRHelpWanted temporarily]] getting rid of Afton. Even in the non-canon endings, Henry always has a backup plan, ranging from merely firing the player and starting over to [[HeKnowsTooMuch having them wrongfully committed to an asylum if they find out about his plan]].]]

* MemeticMutation
** Buff Helpy [[note]]Blame Dawko for this one. In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE7hKXksAdQ FNAF Meme Review 2.0]] he came across an image of Helpy's face edited on to a muscular man's body, and reacted as though [[FauxHorrific it was the most disgusting and terrifying thing he had ever seen]]. It's thus become not uncommon to see images of Helpy drawn or edited to have an enormous muscular body, usually referencing Dawko at the same time.[[/note]]
** Connection Terminated [[note]]Casette Man's entire speech in the True Ending has (especially the first two words, "Connection terminated") become this due to its [[DyingMomentOfAwesome incredibly dramatic]] nature. Since 2020, it's become a frequent copypasta, and there's a meme in which the speech randomly interrupts and plays over otherwise-innocent videos to suddenly turn them serious and/or ominous.[[/note]]

** Speaking of Scrap Baby, how much of her is AI or [[spoiler:Elizabeth. Her ending speech makes it seems to be pointing that Elizabeth is completely in control but it also must be remembered William Afton can also be seen as the father of Circus Baby, and her ending speech could be her accepting what he made her to be, a child-killing robot. It can also be [[SplitPersonalityMerge both becoming one between games]]]]

** The ball pit minigame. If you miss the target [[note]]Which is really small, and the cursor moves ridiculously fast[[/note]], Helpy still jumps, only to hit the floor with a SickeningCrunch and remain motionless on the ground for a few seconds while the music stops playing. [[YouBastard Congratulations, you just brutally murdered an adorable bear doll.]]

** Helpy, the adorable little animatronic bear who helps the player while they're managing the Pizzeria. Fans find him absolutely cute and sweet, it also helps that he's one of the few animatronics that doesn't hurt or hinder the player in any way.

* FanNickname: For Springtrap/William Afton's redesign, "Scraptrap" or "Springscrap", much like Scrap Baby's alias. AscendedFanon in that the former name got picked up by Scott himself during the ''Ultimate Custom Night'''s development.

** One of the fan nicknames for Springtrap in ''[[Videogame/{{FiveNightsAtFreddys3}} Five Nights at Freddy's 3]]'' was "Salvage". Guess which part of the game Springtrap shows up in this time....

** Since it appears that this game takes place during the opening hours, it really is your [[VisualNovel/{{DayshiftAtFreddys}} day shift at Freddy's]]. [[spoiler:It even has its own Orange Man in one particular minigame.]]

* {{Moe}}: Helpy is just really ''cute''. It helps that he's the only unambiguously good incarnation of Freddy, not counting Custom Night where he seems to have pulled a FaceHeelTurn.[[note]]If you consider the Fredbear plush from ''4'' is [[AmbiguouslyEvil Ambiguously]][=/=]ObliviouslyEvil. Also, Helpy going evil in the UCN may be justified by the whole thing possibly being [[spoiler:Afton's IronicHell where he will be punished for eternity by nearly every single robot]] created by Fazbear Entertainment.[[/note]]

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: [[spoiler:Henry from the book series isn't exactly ''hated'', per se, but his role in [[Literature/FiveNightsAtFreddysTheSilverEyes the original book]] left a bad taste in some fans' mouths, coming across as UnintentionallyUnsympathetic given that he [[DrivenToSuicide killed himself]] while still having a young daughter to support. This version of Henry is ''significantly'' more beloved by the fandom, courtesy of his magnificent plan to get all the animatronics in one place and put an end to William's evil ([[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysVRHelpWanted seemingly]]) forever.

* MoodWhiplash: The first fifteen minutes of the game (especially those that don't know it is the sixth one) may leave people needing a neck brace. It goes from a rather simple 8-bit game similar to Scott's troll games to surreal glitches to a suspenseful staredown with Scrap Baby to the humorously silly main game to a more traditional ''FNAF'' night cycle.

* WhatAnIdiot: William Afton. He outright states that the Pizzeria is a lie [[spoiler:although it's not clear how much he knew about Cassette Man's plan, if he knew anything at all]] and he ''still'' walks in regardless!

* UnnecessaryMakeover: Many feel that Springtrap's redesign is rather unnecessary, to the point where many didn't realize he was Springtrap, confusing him for a new character or even Golden Freddy. It's established that every animatronic has modified themselves with parts from others, but due to his entire head being different, this design isn't as well liked.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Cassette Man's final speech has a few of these. [[spoiler:For one, with the obvious exception of Springtrap/William Afton, he holds no ill will towards the animatronics or the spirits that inhabit them. He also then commends the player character for staying there until the very end, even though they had a way out, and that [[YouAreNotAlone he is also in the restaurant and is going to stay there with them while it burns down]]. Finally, he apologizes for not being able to keep his daughter, the Puppet/Lefty, safe, even though [[SoProudOfYou she tried her best to take care of the spirits of the dead children and try to keep them all safe, and hoping her spirit is finally put at rest]].]]

* TearJerker: [[Tearjerker/FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator Right over here.]]

* AuthorsSavingThrow: After ''[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation Sister Location]]'' implied that [[spoiler:Springtrap was actually Michael Afton instead of Purple Guy / William Afton (thus nullifying one of the best-received plot points in the series)]], many fans were pretty unhappy. However, this game [[{{Jossed}} Josses]] that; [[spoiler:Springtrap still is [=Purple/William=]]].[[note]]Given that Scott essentially confirmed this prior to the release of this game, thanks to his response to Game Theory's then-final episode on the series, it's clear that he'd intended William to still be Springtrap all along; it just wasn't especially clear based on how the scene was edited.[[/note]]

** The secret [[spoiler:graveyard screen has launched two variations of one theory; that the protagonists of games ''1'' to ''3'' were either Mike Afton or the Cassette Man. Both have a reason to be in these locations, both know how to tamper with the animatronics, and they were using fake names taken from the dead kids to get re-hired again and again. (Although the fact that one of them is [[RevenantZombie a walking corpse]] and the other is [[KingIncognito the founder of the pizzeria chain]] would make this harder for them.)]]

* ItWasHisSled: Scott trolled us again. The game is actually ''FNAF 6''.

* WhatAnIdiot!: William Afton. He outright states that the Pizzera is a lie [[spoiler:although it's not clear how much he knew about Cassette Man's plan, if he knew anything at all]] and he ''still'' walks in regardless!
