Five Nights at The Krusty Krab is a series of YouTube videos made by Panchitomatrix, the same guy who made SpongeBob in Paranormal Activity.

As the title suggests, the story is a crossover between SpongeBob SquarePants and Five Nights at Freddy's, and follows various SpongeBob characters as they try to survive a night against the animatronics.

You can watch the full series here.


Five Nights at The Krusty Krab provides examples of the following tropes:


  • Abled in the Adaptation: Mangle doesn't live up to his/her name in Chapter 4, being just another (fully articulated and functional) FNAF animatronic (likely because a more game-accurate design would have been too elaborate to pull off here).
  • Adaptational Villainy: The FNAF animatronics. None of their Tragic Monster qualities from the games are alluded to here, and they instead just seem to be robotic Serial Killers who want to maim and murder people For the Evulz.
  • An Arm and a Leg: Squidward loses his arm via the animatronics. Sandy later replaces it with a prosthetic arm.
  • Back from the Dead: Sandy rebuilds SpongeBob as a cyborg.
  • Bait-and-Switch: When the incarcerated Mr. Krabs makes a comeback in Chapter 4, he's wheeled in in a Hannibal Lecter-style straightjacket and restraint mask, sporting a crazed look in his eyes. SpongeBob screams in horror, after which Krabs laughs and reveals that he was just messing with him, still being perfectly sane.
  • Big Bad: Freddy Fazbear is the one leading the animatronics to kill people.
  • The Cameo: In Chapter 4, we see a "Wanted!" Poster of Yakon at the prison Mr. Krabs is kept in. Later, an animatronic version of Yakon shows up to rape a prisoner.
  • Clear My Name: In Chapter 2, Mr. Krabs gets blamed for SpongeBob's death and sent to jail, allowing Plankton to take possession of the robots.
  • Composite Character: Freddy and Golden Freddy are the same character, the latter apparently being the former's new look after rebuilding himself, following his near-destruction in Chapter 3.
  • It Amused Me: Upon reuniting with SpongeBob in Chapter 4, Mr. Krabs pretends to have gone insane in prison, just to mess with SpongeBob.
  • Jumpscare: It has FNAF in it, what do you expect?
  • Not Quite Dead: Freddy is seemingly blown to smithereens by SpongeBob at the climax of Chapter 3, but the stinger at the end shows Freddy's charred endoskeleton still intact, having been blown two miles away, and it comes back to life.
  • Oh, Crap!: SpongeBob when Mr. Krabs tells him the animatronics act weird at night. Also when he sees them moving.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: In Chapter 3, Freddy disguises himself by just putting on some pants and a shirt and using the severed face of a fish as a mask. Justified, as he's using it to fool Patrick.
  • Ridiculously Human Robots: Both the robot versions of the SpongeBob characters and the FNAF animatronics eat Krabby Patties, drink coffee, fart, go number one and number two, and have sex together.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Surprisingly enough, Plankton in Chapter 2. Though a bit jerkish to Squidward when he first hires him, when the latter calls Plankton at 2 a.m., telling him that the robots are acting up, Plankton actually agrees to come back to the Chum Bucket to see what's going on. Too bad that decision costs him his life.
  • Strange Minds Think Alike: Both SpongeBob and Squidward utter the words "This will be boring" during their shifts.
  • Tempting Fate: Both SpongeBob and Squidward saying "This will be very boring" at the beginning of their shifts.
  • Took a Level in Badass: SpongeBob goes from a helpless victim in Chapter 1 to a badass action hero who kills most of the FNAF animatronics, thanks to Sandy rebuilding him as a cyborg.
  • We Can Rebuild Him: After dying at the end of episode one, SpongeBob is resurrected as a Cyborg thanks to Sandy.
