If you aren’t familiar with video game/YouTube video game commentary phenomenon Five Nights At Freddy’s, here’s what you need to know: it’s just like Flappy Bird, except nothing happens and then suddenly Flappy Bird jumps out of nowhere and scares you. That’s it. It’s a jump scare machine, and it’s proven so popular that Warner Bros. is turning it into a feature film.
If you aren’t familiar with Big E, he’s the “Minister of Mass” for The New Day, a pro-wrestling group that use condescending positivity and Best Dad contest-related sneak attacks to annoy their opponents. He recently stopped by fellow New Day member Xavier Woods’ YouTube gaming channel UpUpDownDown as “backup” for a game of Five Nights, and it’s wonderful. Maybe not “clapping for an old lady who can’t make it to Smackdown” wonderful, but few things are.
The money aspect of Five Nights At Freddy’s isn’t the game so much as the reactions to it, particularly on YouTube gaming channels like this, so you can take it one of two ways: a sincere reaction of terror, or The New Day’s meta commentary on media insincerity. Either way, all I want now is video of Big E giving the Big Ending to a haunted, animatronic bear.
