The short is noticeably a parody of the game "Five Nights at Freddy's", which is a game that was released in 2014. The game brought wide main stream attention to animatronics, especially CEC's animatronics and The Rock-afire Explosion, with many YouTube and TikTok videos capitalizing on the supposed "haunted" aspect of CEC animatronics, as well as the largely debunked myth that CEC recycles their pizza. It is believed that casual visitors comparing the CEC animatronics to the FNAF animatronics was one of the factors in the decision to replace them with the Chuck E. Live Stage.
