** It's possible to interpret his last message differently and make it even worse. Him asking for Mike to check inside the suit could potentially be him asking for Mike to come looking for him and give his family some closure on what happened to him. He also brings up that he's going to hold out until someone checks, which could actually mean he's going to try and ''stay alive inside the suit'' so Mike could possibly save him as opposed to trying to hold off all the animatronics until someone checks what's in the suits and satisfies his curiosity.

!!In-game Examples




!!Examples outside of the game
* A Meta example: Rebornica leaving the fandom, refusing to do anything FNAF related and deleting all their comics was... ''celebrated'' by most of the fandom, including the official subreddit... which is, oddly enough, filled with some of the most mature fans of the game. For all the threats that the artist had to endure constantly, it's pretty sickening to think that the reaction to the artist leaving was cheers and taunts, as well as downvoting every person that called the subreddit out [[http://www.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/2ub3nc/rebornica_is_ending_and_ceasing_work_on_their/ Just]] [[http://www.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/36xeqw/what_is_this_subs_opinion_on_rebornica/ read]] [[http://www.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/2w8v2e/rebornicas_last_comic/ these.]]
** Fortunately, as of the 2nd most upvoted comment [[https://www.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/3ddzer/what_do_people_mean_by_vincent_and_foxy_is_gud_gay/ here]], people have begun to realize that Rebornica was actually not as bad as Reddit made them out to be.
* As a fanon example by Mandopony, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gyvHFBa5B0 this song]] qualifies. It shows Foxy in a [[TheWoobie different way]], showing that he hates being decommissioned and just wants to be noticed by somebody.
--> '''Foxy''': You never listened, never bothered, never looked my way. It's only fair for me to visit you ''and make you pay.''
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJW_KMkygXI Another fan song]] shows Foxy in a similar light, but this time in the style of a nautical ballad.
** Speaking of Mandopony, try to listen to "Balloons" and "Nothing can hurt me" without crying or at least feeling depressed. Saying anything else would spoil it.

** Even if the (quite popular) theory of him being alive in the third game holds any truth, there's still just his entire experience through the whole series. You can tell he's an avid fan of the franchise and absolutely adores the animatronics. But throughout the course of the story, he has to watch this beloved restaurant deal with the murders of children on its premises. He also discover that someone -- probably a co-worker, possibly a ''friend'' -- used a suit meant to bring joy to small children to lure them to their deaths instead. He sounds devastated in the phone call afterward. Then, possibly for years, he has to take up the lonely nightshift as Freddy's struggles more and more to stay open, all while using his own wits to stay alive against a team of haunted animatronics -- the very ones he loved -- that are now trying to kill him. It's utterly heartbreaking to see a good-natured man so enthusiastic about the restaurant have to deal with everything from murders to the supernatural -- and get killed for it. The player isn't given an option to go check on and possibly save him. Unlike the missing children, someone knew where he was.

** This Tearjerker is happily stopped with ''[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysVRHelpWanted Help Wanted]]'', when they can finally revisit their childhood with the VR game.



* According to Scott, the events of Nights 6 and 7 aren't canon in the games, meaning Mike never actually DOES get fired.

* Yes, ''you'' know the truth. But a lot of kids in-universe adore the Fazbear gang and don't know about the restaurant's DarkAndTroubledPast. They're going to be heartbroken when [[spoiler: the place shuts down for good within two months]]. The fact that the place gets a re-opening in the sequel does nothing to help, despite what it may seem, due to {{the reveal}} [[spoiler:that it takes place before the first game.]]
-->[[spoiler: ''"These characters will live on. In the hearts of kids, these characters will live on."'' -CEO]]
* The death of [[spoiler: Phone Guy, your only friendly presence in the pizzeria.]] What's worse is, likely nobody but Mike will ever know his fate.
** [[spoiler:Playing through the sequel and hearing him talk about how he's taking up the night shift, with us knowing what will happen to him when he does so, only makes it worse...]]
** Even if the (quite popular) theory of him [[spoiler:being alive due to something in the third game]] holds any truth, there's still just his entire experience through the whole series. You can tell he's an avid fan of the franchise and absolutely adores the animatronics. But though the course of the story, he [[spoiler:has to watch this beloved restaurant deal with the murder of children on its premises. And also discover that someone -- probably a co-worker, possibly a ''friend'' -- used a suit meant to bring joy to small children, to lure them to their deaths instead. He sounds devastated in the phone call afterward. Then, possibly for years, he has to take up the lonely nightshift as Freddy's struggles more and more to stay open, all while using his own wits to stay alive against a team of haunted animatronics -- the very ones he loved -- that are now trying to kill him. It's utterly heartbreaking to see a good-natured man so enthusiastic about the restaurant have to deal with everything from murders to the supernatural -- and even be killed for it. The player isn't given an option to go check on and possibly save him. Unlike the missing children, someone knew where he was.]]
** This [[spoiler: final piece of dialogue Phone Guy says before he's killed:]]
--> '''[[spoiler: Phone Guy]]''':[[spoiler: I always wondered what was in all those empty heads back there... ([[OminousMusicBoxTune Freddy's Tune plays]])...''[[OhCrap Oh no]]''. ([[HellIsThatNoise Death scream]]...and then [[NothingIsScarier silence]])]]
* The animatronics themselves are a sad story- Built for the sole and express purpose of entertaining children. And when that purpose is being slowly stripped away as they fall apart and wither in metaphorical agony, some people can't help but feel bad for them.
* A Meta example: Rebornica leaving the fandom, refusing to do anything with Vincent or anything FNAF related and deleting all their comics was...
