History ShoutOut / FiveNightsAtFuckboys

* The final sequence of the second game to [[spoiler:''VideoGame/EarthBound'', where Toy Freddy and his party are sent to a cave-like area that may be in the past, and find Balloon Boy first merged with a strange machine and then turns into a bizarre red haze styled like Giygas]].

* And of course, there's [[Film/BackToTheFuture the use of a DeLorean for time travel.]]

* Upon realizing that the office door is locked five times over, Springtrap comments that it isn't ''just'' security... It's [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants advanced security]].

** In particular, Act 3 of ''3'' has a direct reference to an infamous scene from ''VideoGame/MegaManMaverickHunterX'' -- namely, [[spoiler:Vile declaring "NO! NOT A CHARGED SHOT!" and then [[GameplayAndStorySegregation immediately dying from it.]] In ''Fuckboy's'', after getting Vile's health down, Toy Freddy interrupts the battle by using a charged ''hat toss'', which causes Vile to die (with exactly the same dialogue [[spoiler:minus the word "NO!"]]).]]

* According to the third book in the W Scenario, [[spoiler: Vile]] lost his [[spoiler: wife]] to a [[VideoGame/SupraMayroKratt "kratt racing dinosaur"]].

* Music from the [[Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona Persona series]] sans the [[VideoGame/{{Persona2}} Persona 2 duology]] is regularly used throughout the games, but the third game takes it a step further with [[spoiler: Golden Freddy, who is able to summon Shadow Freddy and Shadow Bonnie with an Evoker. ''"Thou art I..."'' is used to seal the connection]].

* Also [[spoiler: Balloon Boy mentions that the world will have nothing but a [[VideoGame/TheDesolateHope desolate hope]] once he finishes Toy Freddy.]].

* In ''Final Mix'', the setup of the final boss (namely, [[spoiler:being fought in four phases, with one team of three animatronics in each phase]]) is a reference to [[spoiler:the first part of ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes''[='=] final boss]]. Not only that, but [[spoiler:"What I'm Made Of" plays during the battle with the Refurbs]].

* [[spoiler: Balloon Boy to Xehanort, appearing in every game as the TrueFinalBoss and in a different form.]]

* [[spoiler: Balloon Boy to Xehanort, appearing in every game as the TrueFinalBoss and in a different form]]

* [[spoiler: Balloon Boy fuses with all versions of himself, much like Xehanort gathers different versions of him throughout the timeline.]]

* Videogame/GarrysMod has been used for a number of cutscenes starting with ''2''. Co-creator Josh is currently organising a group project on the official subreddit where members can submit pictures of the gang in various spacetime adventures in Gmod to be used in some of the cutscenes in ''3''[='s=] DLC episode. The use of party hats as {{Mooks}} in the first game is a reference to Prop Hunt on the ''[=FNAF=]'' map in Garry's Mod, where party hats are one of the possible objects.

** The vents in Act 3 of ''3'' use [[Videogame/SonicAdventure2 Prison Lane and Lost Colony's themes]] for the Past and Future vents respectively.
