Fazbear & Friends

Okay, this is gonna be a review on one of my least favorite channels I used to love back then, but just gave up on by the end of the year. You know what I'm talkin' about: Fazbear & Friends, a FNAF Minecraft animated series created by EnchantedMob and ZAMination themselves. This might be a great and comedic show for kids, while also being one of the most hated and criticized upon many. Love it or not, I've been following since day 1, and even then, I still don't like the shorts, so to express my hate with this show, here's a story covering my experiences with Fazbear and Friends! (yey....) So first, we gotta start at the beginning; the first episode dropped post-Valentine's Day and I was intrigued. It was a Minecraft FNAF video, and I loved it!... I mean, I never liked Freddy and Chica's voices because they were just southern accents. But the plot was fun; it was about Foxy's missing hook (and they even left a major error on him that removed his eyepatch and even his hole in his chest)! Plus, I liked it so much that I even found the source of it all: Bonnie! He was dumb but incredibly funny. He's like SpongeBob, but purple, and a furry, and a robot. Afterwards, I waited a month for a second episode.

And that episode was about Chica - who is by far the most dramatic out of the cast - being sick. They could've just said that she had a virus since she's a machine. Anyway, it was also good even though I didn't like the plot since it focused on Chica (and for the record, I'm not being feministic). Then, we moved on to April, where we got Episode 3, where we got Bonnie, Mr. Dum-Dum himself, have his guitar break. I absolutely loved it! I mean, we got a musical number, a reference to coquelicot (yes that's an actual color), a comedic ending, and a sponsorship!... But then, things changed. Right after Episode 3 dropped, the series took a break for a month. Turns out that they were working on Episode 4, and to keep their fans entertained, they did the dumb thing and created a series of shorts to keep them busy while they worked on Episode 4. I liked them at first before slowly but surely just going against them and just wanted the 4th episode to drop. And to be honest, I liked some of the new additions like Springtrap and Purple Guy. And yes, Springtrap and Purple Guy are separate entities in the F&F universe for some reason and he goes by the name Purple Guy instead of William Afton. Afterwards, Episode 4 finally dropped on Sunday June 27, 2021. I waited for TWO MONTHS AND 19 DAYS FOR THE 4TH EPISODE TO DROP!!!! >:(.... Anyway, Episode 4 was special cus it featured everyone's favorite daughter of Afton's, Circus Baby! And please stop with this because they literally sexualized her to make her look sexy. Please stop Rule 34-ing female FNAF. Anyway, we got funny stuff, Circus Baby might actually have a crush on Freddy, and many others. But after that, the series started to get rotten. Really rotten.

By July, they got to work on Poppy Playtime, and they even just stuck to producing shorts from now on cause all they care about now is money! They created a F&F spinoff called Circus Baby's World that merged with the main series by October, started introducing other Indie characters like Bendy and FNF, introduced dumb and stupid original characters like Circus Blueby who's basically Pinkie Pie but blue and a robot, and they didn't care about making new episodes after that. By October, we got a new video covering Circus Baby and Funtime Freddy, no kidding, becoming their mainstream counterparts from the games! No joke, they became their game counterparts! But what surprised me is that the short was released on both channels with different titles and thumbnails, but when you clicked on the EnchantedMob version, we just got some short of Not-Michael-Afton just electrocuting Ballora in the most grueling CPR tests ever! THAT'S CLICKBAIT!! But the dumb part of this channel was the inclusion of a certain Netflix show: yup, Squid Game! Remember Squid Game! That Netflix show that basically hypnotized everyone in October? Yeah. Every channel was in on the Squid Game trend. Even my favorite channels such as SMG4 and Annoying Orange joined the ride for a little bit! Even Fazbear & Friends. October was when they changed to a Squid Game format for a little bit and included Steve, Baldi, blah blah blah, I hated it! At the start of November, we got the female characters having a sleepover and arguing over how sexy they are because I guess if Circus Baby was a narcissist in the past I guess why not make the others narcissists as well?

And December was worse. Alongside Girl Foxy because she's a thing in F&F apparently, we got Girl Bonnie, and even the Security Breach cast! Yeah, December 18 was when ZAM! Created a Security Breach vid to celebrate it's release and I hated it because Vanny was nothing like her counterpart from the games. Christmas was the week after and instead of a fun Christmas special, we got... ugh, sexy Toy Chica. Why? Eventually, they created "movies", which, if you have 400 IQ, is just a bunch of clips mashed together in a compilation. I felt that 2022 could get better. It just got worse. They made more crossovers with Poppy Playtime, more shorts, more shorts with the Security Breach cast and didn't even bother putting them in the Mega Pizzaplex! Were they just too lazy to design the Pizzaplex at all?! Afterwards, I gave up on it. They just eventually started lying to their fans by using clickbait titles, thumbnails and even clickbait characters. Fans just turned against them. So there you have it. An entire review of my experiences with this dumb FNAF Minecraft combo in one. So many love it and hate it. Also, I believe that the shorts are just publicity stunts at this point; they're purposely making clickbait to get more money in their safe. I mean, the main cast is back after a while, but they're still using the SB (Security Breach, not Strong Bad) cast as well. So there you go. I used to love this. But by August, I just stopped caring. It was too much. Have a nice day... And please make Episode 5 already you goons. >:(

Hate me if you want, but just so you all know, I'm glad this series is finally over.

I watched the first few episodes of this series and I thought it was okay, but the part that downgraded it was the shorts. They arrange from being mediocre to downright cringe! Like, something random will come out of nowhere and you're all like, "Huh? Excuse me?"

Another issue with this series is the crossovers. Bendy is ABSOULTLY ANNOYING! Baldi is not great, and the Among us dude does NOTHING. The only crossover I liked was Poppy Playtime. The characters were actually cute.

As the Fazbear gang, they're not too great themselves. They are kind of an insult to the original Fazbear and Friends.

Definitely for the kids but is still very amusing for those like me who grew up playing the game. There are some minor things such as the little amounts of crude language. If your kid doesn't understand then it's fine. I'm sure people can criticize this in many ways but from my time watching it's a great show and I'm sure will continue to be great.
