Balloon Boy, commonly known as BB from the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise, became a viral sensation due to his uniquely irritating role in the series. Unlike other animatronics, he does not jump-scare the player directly but instead disables their tools, making him a symbol of persistent annoyance and tactical sabotage. The meme typically features his static, grinning face used to represent people or situations that ruin plans with a cheerful demeanor. Whether referencing the game character or the infamous 2009 balloon boy news hoax, the name has become synonymous with unexpected trouble and internet-wide pranks.
