Foxy's Family is a
Slice of Life animated series based on
Five Nights at Freddy's, originally created on April 30, 2015 by Sunstriker. Set in the

Foxy's Family provides examples of:
- Adaptational Heroism: Everyone in this series are nicer than their scary canonical counterparts.
- Asshole Victim: Both Foxina and Fang respectively in "Do as I Say Not as I Do". Foxina is punched by Fang for ruining his drone, and Fang gets assaulted for what he did to her.
- Babysitting Episode: "The Best Babysitter Ever". Jenny Wakeman comes to babysit Todd, Fang, and Foxina. They all get along very well with Jenny.
- Babysitter Friendship: Fang, Todd, and Foxina have gotten along with Jenny Wakeman after "The Best Babysitter Ever".

- Every Episode Ending: Almost every episode in the series will have all of the characters in the episode make a "squeak face".
- Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: Foxina complains to Fang that he didn't build his drone correctly, as it doesn't fly at all. Fang starts explaining that he built it properly, then realizes with horror what she had done.

- Injured Limb Episode: Fang breaks his leg in "Give Me A Break".
- Left the Background Music On: Plushtrap, Fang, Todd, Foxina, and Jenny can hear Swiper's theme.
- Never My Fault: After Foxina flys Fang's drone into the wall, she blames him for it breaking because since it couldn't fly, Fang must have built it wrong, ignoring the fact that he warned her not to touch it. She later does apologize, but still insists that the drone was stupid for not being able to fly and insists she couldn't have known it wouldn't because "she's just a kid".
- Plot Allergy: In "The Case of the Achoos", the family believes that Foxina is allergic to R2-D2.
- The Punishment:
- Happens to Fang in "Fang's Double Trouble".
- Also happens to Todd in "Never Say Never" after refusing to eat his spinach.
- Rage Breaking Point: Fang puts up with Foxina constantly pestering him over his drone, and when she flys the drone into the wall, he only gets slightly mad. But when she keeps explaining that he built it wrong (instead of apologizing for what she did), he outright snaps and punches her.
- Reference Overdosed: This series has a lot of references to various shows, films, and franchises.
- Shout-Out:
- Sick Episode: Mangle gets sick in "The Cleanup Chaos".
- Suddenly Shouting: From "Do as I Say Not as I Do", "I told YOU NOT TO TOUCH IT!"
- Swiper, No Swiping!: Done in "Treehouse Troubles" where the group see Swiper the fox climbing up the ladder so Jenny Wakeman tells the group to repeatedly chant the trope at him, making him say "Oh man!" and then run away.
- Talk to the Fist: Played for Drama and Deconstructed. When Foxina has her Never My Fault speech over the drone being destroyed, Fang punches her straight in the arm, only to get himself grounded for this act.
- Two Guys and a Girl: A sibling version of this trope. Fang and Todd are male while Foxina is female.
- Very Special Episode: "The Pandemic Peril" which talks about the importance of staying in quarantine to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
- Whole-Plot Reference: The plots of almost every episode are based off of Clifford the Big Red Dog, Arthur, and Dragon Tales.

- After Fang punches Foxina and he refuses to apologize for it, their parents ban him from watching TV for the rest of the day and the next day.
- After Todd refuses to eat his spinach, his parents ban him from having dessert for the rest of the day and the next day.
