Who knew that such a seemingly overlookable- Get it? Because he's small? -animatronic would have made such an impact on the series. But in what way? Well, let's find out!

The only Toys they show are Mangle, clawing next to a dead body and Puppet trying to stop Purple Guy from killing you, so maybe Mangle is possessed but that's it. Also Willaim at the time needed Remenet to make the Funtimes and Ernald, My guess is that he killed an other pair of kids to use their remenet and agony to build the Funtimes, Which explains why Mike can still get a job in the Fnaf 1 location even though is closed by the time Willaim breaks the Animatronics. Or you can go with the Fnaf 1 game that never existed and Willaim broke the Animatronics and died, and Mike was at the Sister location getting turn Purple at the same time but hey, Just a THEORY!

    The original gremlin child before we had Gregory! It’s kinda sad how we never got to see these two in the same setting tbh. For such an unassuming little fellow, he really does manage to stand out among the cast. And in a game series where half the characters are robo-furries that’s quite the feat, even though he doesn’t have the same relevance as he did way back when.

    As much hate as BB gets, I really think he's a cool character. He's unique compared to the collective of other characters, adorable in a "want to throw him at the wall" sort of way, he was even the first animatronic to have voice lines (unless foxy's sea shanty counts, which i dont usually consider it to). All his incarnations are special, if a tad forgettable, and he's the best nuance in fnaf 2 that is an actual nuance (rather than just another mechanic to be aware of, i.e the puppet or the shadows). He's a good character and it's really sad that not that many people seem to appreciate him.

    • @cantmakeacreativename2072
      @cantmakeacreativename2072 Рік тому +50

      Yeah. For me it’s easy to just ride him off as a simply annoying character and nothing else.
      But actually stopping to think about it, he’s genuinely really bizarre. And in a way that only he really seems to be. Lore-wise especially as he doesn’t seem to have much going on with him. Though I’ve heard that the books say otherwise.
      It’s strange how a character THIS unique wouldn’t have anything else important to him lore wise. Or at least none that I know of. I would start loving this character a lot more if he had some actual story purposes for existing.

    "The new set of children, though? William hadn’t bothered actually stuffing them anywhere, so the Puppet guided them to select new vessels of their own.
    Instead of individual characters like it was expecting, though, all of them voluntarily possessed Balloon Boy just because it was mildly amusing.
    ...but it got extremely stressful because Balloon Boy staged a coup against him with the other animatronics. So, once the week was over, he transferred over to the dayshift position. Balloon Boy wasn’t going to let Jeremy get away free, though, and proceeded to publicly attack him and bite out his frontal lobe. Wow.

    Looking at Balloon Boy, you gotta wonder if he was ever planned to be some kind of Chucky thing in game or a story, seeing as how he too mirrors the 1980s Playmates dolls like Corky. Nightmare BB and Lucky sort of tackle the idea from two different sides but they never really go full Child's Play or William Goldman's Magic, which is a shame. Because I'd probably feel something more akin to fear if they tried to use the original film's script where you don't know if The Doll really was killing anything or it was just sad kid that owns them breaking down.

    The funny thing about Balloon Boy is that he's actually a powerful demon possessing a simple animatronic. He manifested into a place with a lot of kids, figuring he'd do some corrupting-
    "Hey, kid! Your parents have candy hidden inside of them! While they're sleeping, get out the biggest knife in the kitchen and..."
    - but he showed up only to find a bunch of other possessed animatronics. He figured they were also demons, and since so many being in one place implied that someone even more powerful than him was already running an operation, he decided to just go with the flow and try to be quietly helpful until he could really figure out what was going on.

    I love the fact that so many characters from the stories find a doll/animatronic in a dump and never think "you know, maybe someone wanted to have this creepy thing buried and destroyed for a reason." Like if ghosts and remnant are real, surely they've *been* real right? Like if agony can haunt things or children's souls are a way to be immortal...surely that didn't just star when Fazbear got incorporated. Ghost stories and haunted objects gotta be like, a thing people at least hear about right? Unless the world outside of Fazbear is a utopia or something...

    Thisll sound weird but Balloon Boy is the most hype I ever was for FNAF. He was in absolutely none of the promos for FNAF 2, he is never acknowledged by anyone, he DOES actually look like a decoration, and then he just goes! And has a mechanic! For some reason my 2014 brain thought that opened huge doors for enemy variety in FNAF. So it's odd to see how others look at this thing especially considering I'm really not sure we know what the fuck he even is and if he is haunted and if so then by whom.

He's an animatronic animatronic that first appears in Five Nights at Freddy's 2 and is in the same style as the Toy Animatronics. In the pizzeria, his role is to give out balloons to the customers.

    While before most FNAF enjoyers’ time, Balloon Boy is based on, well, Balloon Boy - a big scandal where basically a boy’s crackpot grifting father pretended to everyone that his kid got stuck in the weather balloon he made, and it floated away. People chased after it, it was a whole huge thing, boy found hiding at home in the end etc. But it makes me wonder if that ties into the story in the sense that you described with Michael, but maybe played straight. That maybe a piece of Michael is trapped in the animatronic, or maybe it’s referencing Afton covering up for Michael’s ““death””, or maybe just an in-universe play on the idea that the majority of the kids who Afton is making ‘go missing’ aren’t getting the fuss over them that one who didn’t did, and it’s just funny to him to flaunt the idea of missing kids in front of people.

    I've seen one such video where some guys attempted to make their own Fazbear Frights stories; they're given prompts by some Titter fans, let Novelai continue the synopsis, using a random selection for characters or locations, then photoshopping up a cover. One they came up with was Afton Robotics scientists (Zachary & Willard) discovering a radioactive chemical (Funtime Freddy-agen) that turns you into a copy of BB. The ai had Willard morph instantly trying to eat balloons, Zachary changes too, the chemical makes the electricity overload, and the two explode.
    Other such prompts include: Toy Freddy using a curse from Nightmarionne to gain Twitch followers, Lefty and his twin Righty in a bar, and a Redditor STAFF bot trash-talking Fazbear's and getting haunted by Springtrap. Someone in that video's comments made a full story on that last one. When the ai for the prompt said "Freddy's gonna cut you into bite-sized pieces and eat your heart", their response was: "that is a Fazbears Fright story - so normal, but then needless gore for no reason". XD

    I like to think on how every BB variant after FNAF 2 (or almost every variant, cuz we have to except FNAFW) are always terryfing demons compared to the original. You get to see Phantom BB the first time and you're like "wtf he was an innocent thing!", and so on with Nightmare BB and his psychopath voicelines, the FNAF AR one since is the first time normal BB got a jumpscare, the books variants, etcetera; even the Fan-Games variants of the character are really creepy, like JR's, Final Nights, Storage, and well every Fan Game with BB on it
    But i ususally like to think the original one is cool and it's likely the most friendly one of the Toy Animatronics, due to the other Toys' personalities given on UCN or FNAF AR

    Is BB the first non-hostile character in the series? I guess so. I always forget he was introduced all the way back in 2. BB is such a strange animatronic. What was the reason for his introduction, both in and out of world? All the other animatronics in 2 are either reworks of earlier ones or the puppet, which was originally designed as... a security device? Maybe? The puppet lore is a bit confusing, but out of universe the puppet was there to be an explanation for how the original animatronics gained life. BB doesn't have the same kind of explanation, in or out of universe, and he doesn't exactly have any lore relevance, aside from being connected to illusion disks in the books (which might be canon in the games? Maybe? I both hate and love FNAF lore.)
