FNAF Plush (also referred to as Awesome Plush Productions
FNAF Plush to avoid confusion with other series) is a plush series based on Five Nights at Freddy's created by Awesome Plush Productions. The series started on April 28 of 2019 and is still running to this day.
The series’s premise involves laid-back versions of the original animatronics and their friends having plenty of weird adventures, including getting cloned, traveling through time, and even heading into the "Gaming-Verse."
The series can be watched here.
Tropes appearing in this series:
- Adaptational Heroism: Every main character is a killer animatronic in the original games. However, in this series, they are much more laid-back and civil. The "heroic" aspect especially comes in with characters like The Puppet.
- Adaptational Villainy: Well, the nightmare animatronics were already evil to begin with, but this series makes them even eviler.
- Also, Wreck-It Ralph in "Into The Gaming Verse."
- Aerith and Bob: We have several normal names, such as Freddy, Bonnie, Boris, and Jack mixed in with names like Woody, Deadpool, Foxy, and any variation of an existing animatronic (such as the Toy animatronics). The results are…interesting, to say the least.
- Affectionate Parody: Of Five Nights at Freddy's.
- All Animals Are Dogs: Any animal that isn’t anthropomorphic provides an example of this trope. Frank the Flamingo is a good example, as he was even able to enter a dog show with no issues.
- An Arm and a Leg: Wes Borland (not to be confused with the Limp Bizkit guitarist) gets his arm ripped off when trying to kill the main characters, which leads to Bonnie playing "Stop Hitting Yourself" using Borland’s own severed arm.
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Bonnie is kicked out of the pizzeria in the season 5 episode "Bonnie’s Home Alone!" for cracking a kid’s head open with a guitar, flipping over Foxy’s pirate cove (with Foxy still in it), and…singing The Cuss Word Song by Rusty Cage.
- Ass Shove:
- In the Valentine’s Day special, Black Heart Bonnie enters Grogu’s butt to retrieve a love bullet that he had eaten. He finds: a Lego brick, an Angry Bird, a drumstick, a box of Deadpoolios, some Nintendo Switch Joy-cons, Kermit The Frog, a Santa hat, and a Waluigi amiibo before finally finding the love bullet.
- Pillow Freddy does this to anyone who calls him chunky.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The giant Helpy from the episode of the same name.
- Author Avatar: JackAwePlushPro used to be portrayed by a Mario plush, but he hasn’t been showing up as of recent. However, AwePlushPro does plan to make a custom plush of the faceless white creature on the channel avatar. Whenever AwePlushPro appears as a character nowadays, he’s mostly in his human form.
- Back from the Dead: Dreadbear kills Thanos and steals his infinity gauntlet, which he uses to kill Satan and escape Hell.
- Bears Are Bad News: Taken up to eleven with Dreadbear, as not only is he an effective Knight of Cerebus, he remorselessly killed many innocent people, including Nightmarionne’s parents, which is what caused the latter’s Sanity Slippage and Face–Heel Turn. Also played straight with Frostbear, though he is defeated and reprogrammed to be good.
- Beary Friendly: Freddy Fazbear himself, along with most of the main bear characters. Inverted in the case of Dreadbear, however. (See Bears Are Bad News). Subverted with Toy Freddy, though he’s less of an evil character and more of an egotistical jerk.
- Berserk Button: If you know what’s good for you, do not call Pillow Freddy chunky, unless you want to be shoved up his butt.
- Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: Deadpool makes a snack called Deadpoolios, and the ingredients consist of caramel, popcorn, nuts, and dog poop.
- Brick Joke: In "The Child," Kermit the Frog is Eaten Alive by Grogu. 6 episodes later, when Black Heart Bonnie shoves himself up Grogu’s butt to retrieve a love bullet that the latter had eaten, before finding the bullet, he finds various random things, including Kermit.
- The Bus Came Back: All of the villains from previous episodes appear in the season 4 finale:
- Stanley and Springtrap, who used to be frequent characters but were phased out, which made them jealous.
- The neighbor and Sammy Suckerpunch from "Child’s Play!"
- The gun from "The Magic Gun!"
- The giant Helpy from "Attack Of The Giant Helpy!"
- Scrap Baby from "Girlfriend Day!"
- The imposter (now in his true form) from "Among Us!" and its sequels.
- Shadow the Hedgehog and Jahrfy the Cat from "Lucy’s Youtube Channel!"
- Piggy, Clowny, Tigry, Zompiggy, Mother, and Father from "Piggy!"
- Skeleton Santa from "A Very Scary Christmas!"
- The three guards from "Squid Game 2 - Let The Games Begin!"
- Blake the Badger from "Freddy Gets Sick!"
- Wes Borland from "The Slasher!"
- Pennywise from "The Pantry!"
- The Inquisitior and his Shadowtrooper from "The Child!"
- The Oogie Boogie Man from "The Nightmare Before Christmas!"
- Physical Fiction Toy Freddy, Program Good Toy Bonnie, Dog Water Score Toy Chica, and Pee Foxy from "The Inverted Impostors!"
- Butt-Monkey:
- Bonnie and Jack Skellington are usually on the receiving end of the villain’s antics.
- Whenever Kermit the Frog makes a cameo, expect something bad to happen to him.
- Camera Abuse: Happens quite a lot, mostly thanks to Pink Freddy.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Bonnie, Toy Cupcake, Deadpool, and especially Pink Freddy. With Pink Freddy in particular, you can probably count the amount of logical decisions he makes with one hand.
- Curse Cut Short: In the Jack and Deadpool Show section from "The Birds Who Fell To Earth," Deadpool accidentally castrates himself after threatening Jack with a pair of scissors. He doesn’t realize this until he actually picks up his severed penis, which causes him to scream, "SON OF A BI-" before being cut off by the opening riff of "Pepper."
- Darker and Edgier: Season 3 is this, as it abruptly switches from a lighthearted comedy to an intense story arc where Freddy, Bonnie, Foxy, Chica, and Captain Foxy are Mistaken for Murderer and put in death row as a result, when in reality, it’s actually Dreadbear and his army of Nightmares, who are a group of criminals from the past who were dead for years, but then Back from the Dead thanks to Nightmarionne and his army. And in the end, it results in Nightmarionne sacrificing his life to defeat Dreadbear, Captain Foxy losing his memory, and the Puppet leaving due to being unable to cope with his brother’s death. Even though seasons 4 and 5 are back to being lighthearted once again, it’s taken a bit more seriously compared to the first 2 seasons, and a group of previous villains are ganging up on the main characters as of season 5.
- Early-Installment Weirdness:
- The original episodes from seasons 1-2 had Jack’s brother helping him out with the series, but nowadays only Jack works on the series.
- The video titles used to say "Fnaf Plush" instead of "FNAF Plush" until season 4.
- Until early season 2 episodes, there was a noticeable lack of music.
- Until the Thanksgiving special, Freddy and Foxy’s voices were both Jack’s regular voice.
- Lighter and Softer: The series is much more lighthearted and comedic in tone compared to the games. That being said, it’s not without its more serious moments.
- Massive Multiplayer Crossover: In addition to (obviously) using Five Nights at Freddy's characters, plenty of characters from other media appear as well, including but not limited to:
- Knuckles and Shadow from Sonic the Hedgehog.
- Sheriff Woody from Toy Story.
- Bendy and Boris from Bendy and the Ink Machine.
- Grogu from The Mandalorian.
- Deadpool from Marvel Universe.
- Jack Skellington and Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
- The space incarnations of the Angry Birds.
- Plenty of original characters appear as well, such as Frank the flamingo, Ertle the alligator, Lolbit’s dog, and JackAwePlushPro himself.
-
No Budget: Lampshaded plenty of times. - Nutritional Nightmare: Deadpool makes a snack called Deadpoolios, which have caramelized popcorn and nuts, which aren’t the healthiest to begin with, but he also adds dog feces.
- Running Gag:
- Bonnie eating or mentioning carrots.
- Pink Freddy causing Camera Abuse. Actually, he’s not the only one that does it, it even happened in a video where the animatronics were supposed to review a plushie!
- Deadpool being a complete Jerkass, mostly to Jack Skellington.
- Shout-Out: Oh, where to even begin?
- Stylistic Suck:
- In the non-canon April Fools episode, "The Robot!" Jack doesn’t even try to hide the fact that he is filming his TV, with the virtual plushies from Five Nights At Freddys VR Help Wanted being used instead of the real ones.
- In "The Multiversal Machine," one of the dimensions that the baby animatronics travel to is a dimension with intentionally awful lighting.
- In the season 4 finale, when Oogie Boogie, Stanley, and Springtrap use time travel to recruit the villains from the previous episodes, the scenes have no music and poor lighting and voice acting to recreate the feeling of the older videos.
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In "The Last One Of Season 4," all the villains from previous episodes (not counting the Nightmares) team up to defeat Freddy and the gang, but whenever they fight back, the villains are defeated almost immediately. The reason for this, in Freddy’s words, is because "most of the villains are just generic one shot villains who are too weak to be considered an actual threat."
- Take That!:
- In the Hell flashback in "Bonnie’s Home Alone," the list of people going to Hell, in addition to Dreadbear and Thanos, who appeared in the episode, the list also consists of Marilyn Manson, Kanye West, the person watching the video, and JackAwePlushPro himself.
- In "Tie Dye Terrors," the Tie Dye animatronics try to scare Green Foxy using music, and despite them using Black Sabbath, Marilyn Manson, and Nine Inch Nails, Green Foxy isn’t scared because he enjoys them too much to be scared. However, once they play Nickelback, he is terrified out of his mind.
- In the short that was created for the Fourth of July, Firework Freddy laughs at the lyric, "O, purple mountain’s majesty, among the fruited plain!" for being an
Accidental Innuendo. - In "The Dog Show," a "canceled" corner makes an appearance, and it consists of Logan Thirtyacare, Kanye West, and Dream, all of whom used to be very highly regarded in their respective communities, but have suffered a tarnished reputation due to some form of controversy.
- The episode based on How the Grinch Stole Christmas! has two of these towards Rob Schneider. One is the narrator saying The Grinch is as charming as Rob Schneider, and the other is The Grinch saying all the voice acting will be done by Rob Schneider, much to the horror of the main characters.
- They Killed Kenny Again: It’s not a rare occurrence for a major character to die, but then come back in the next video with no explanation. Often Lampshaded by other characters."Wait, didn’t you like, die in the last video?"
- Voice of Reason: Freddy, Foxy, and Jack Skellington.
- We Used to Be Friends: A Meta example, Jack and fellow Youtuber TheLatterOverView5 used to be very good friends, and Latter even appeared in the episodes "Tie Dye Terrors" and "Jack Skellington’s Son." However, according to this recent community post, Jack and Latter are no longer friends:"I hate to inform you guys of this, but THELATTEROVERVIEW5 and I will no longer be collaborating, we have had a very harsh falling out thanks to him being very rude as well as disturbing my personal life. I just thought you guys might wanna hear that.This does not mean you get to personally harass him, but I will no longer associate myself with people like him."
