YouTuber MatPat’s Cameo You Might Have Missed

«Five Nights at Freddy’s» is definitely a movie made for its fans. It dives into the lore of the games while keeping the horror on a PG-13 level to appeal to many of the franchise’s younger devotees. Throwing in some YouTubers the fans probably follow religiously is just the icing on the cake. MatPat, in particular, is well-entrenched in the games’ online community, and this isn’t his first time acting in a «FNaF» project.

YouTube channel Random Encounters put together a musical based on «Five Nights at Freddy’s» that features several YouTubers acting alongside puppets and people in costumes representing the Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza animatronics. MatPat plays «Phone Guy,» and fans really enjoyed his acting turn. YouTuber @randomtrooper.8646 wrote, «I love how they portrayed Matpat, just as much an evil mastermind and crazed psycho as he actually is!»

The musical also includes YouTuber Markiplier, who’s also big in the «FNaF» community, but he sadly didn’t score his own cameo in the new movie. Before the film came out, Markiplier addressed his exclusion online, saying there was an idea for him to make an appearance, but it didn’t work in terms of scheduling. If «Five Nights at Freddy’s» is a hit, sequels are on the table. Perhaps Markiplier could show up then, with MatPat’s waiter becoming a recurring character.
