EthGoesBOOM

Ethan (born: ), better known online as EthGoesBOOM, is an Australian YouTuber who is best known for FNaF characters' voicing. He originally did animations in late 2015, although he only did the voices, while some animators did the animating. He mostly plays video games while voicing the characters of FNaF, which is mostly what boosted his popularity.
==History==
He uploaded his first video on January 27, 2015.
He began voice acting FNaF characters on March 17, 2015. After a lot of animations and gaming, he started making a new series that was lists of top 5 or top 10 things in FNaF.
==Running Gags==
* Bonnie says "fowa" instead of "four", starting with the reaction to the FNaF 4 teaser. This leads to a somewhat friendly rivalry between him and Foxy, the latter heavily disliking Bonnie's way of saying four. Bonnie had even once trolled Foxy by spamming it excessively during a prank war video. Toy Bonnie also has a similar thing where he says "fwah". Eth also voiced Bon-Bon spamming "fowa" during the Repair Funtime Freddy segment in FNaF: Sister Location, annoying Foxy as he played that mode.
* Chica's Cupcake in the series, most often referred to as "The Cupcake", has a tendency to speak only through the words "I'm a cupcake!". In-universe, it seems to be translatable, as seen in the Fazbear Let's Play videos when only The Cupcake, or numerous other variations of the cupcakes, complete a challenge and are understood through subtitles.
** Oddly enough, it has been confirmed that The Cupcake can speak proper English to a small extent, as he has referred to "Chica" in the past by her legitimate name.
** The Pumpkin from the Five Night's at Freddy's 4: Halloween Update has also made appearances, and speaks through a similar means, "I'm a pumpkin!", simply substituting the wording to fit himself, and occasionally farting. He is often portrayed as an antagonistic character on the channel. The Burger from Five Nights at Candy's also similarly says "I'm a burger!"
* Nightmare is known as a "cheater", because of an incident in which the other animatronics played FNaF 4 Night 8, in which Nightmare killed Bonnie when he was holding one of the doors shut. This is due to an inactivity timer where Nightmare would automatically attack if the player was inactive too long, but due to Nightmare's AI repeatedly attempting to enter the left door, Bonnie continuing to stay by the left door created the illusion of inactivity and triggered the character to attack through the door.
* Bubba, a boss from FNAF World, is well known for his consistent threats to kick people's butts. He's also a heavy disliker of spoilers, as whenever someone is about to bring out one, he will burst in and says he's gonna kick their butt, followed by the shouting of "NO SPOILERS!". He once said "I kick big butts and I cannot lie" as a parody of the Sir Mix-a-Lot song "Baby Got Back" during a reaction video with Toy Freddy.
* The Minireenas constantly show affection for Circus Baby, usually crowding around her and asking her questions. They also occasionally pester the Puppet, who has a similar head shape and voice to them and is seen as their father.
* Whenever a teaser for the Five Nights at Candy's series releases, Candy will tie Freddy to a chair and force him to watch it. Freddy returned the favor by tying Candy up, and then both somehow tying themselves to a chair.
* Foxy consistently claims he is a doctor in several videos, only to botch whatever operation he is currently doing. Bonnie is shown to be significantly better than Foxy when it comes to medical work, somehow replacing a man's heart in the span of 5 seconds.
== Hiatus and Mass Reporting ==
In March 2023, Eth announced that EthGoesBoom, had suddenly been getting mass reported, by an unknown individual, leading to one being age restricted, and a copyright strike being put on his channel. The two videos are that of an obscure unlisted video, and a reaction video he did for his birthday, the latter of which had a merch link down below. Whilst Eth confirms he doesn't use the channel as much anymore, he does confirm he still cares about it, and thankfully, later on, he was able to get the strike removed. Eth has confirmed that if this continues, he will have to private all of his videos. Although, thankfully, the mass reporting has not seemed to continue.
Eth had technically semi-retired due to his inactivity on EthGoesBoom. Despite this fact, his other channel 'AussieKing' is active, and is where he's primarily shifted his content to, being more of a personal gaming channel for him.
== Hiatus End; Return ==
On August 27th, 2023, the EthGoesBOOM Twitter Account posted a cryptic tweet with a filtered image of Glitchtrap's profile. In a corrupted-font and backwards lettering, the tweet's text reads: "New video coming soon..". This specific tweet comes into play with an arc connected to the lore on his channel, where Glitchtrap becomes embedded into Freddy's mind; Before this tweet, this arc was assumed to be incomplete.
On September 2nd, 2023, a video was posted on the EthGoesBOOM Youtube channel, titled "Retrieval Complete", in corrupted font. The video's premise is based upon Freddy telling the rest of the Fazbear Band (Bonnie, Chica, Foxy), that the channel has been recovered after being hacked by Lolzhax, a character from Freddy In Space 2. (Who was also used as an in-universe depiction of the hacker who caused the mass reporting incident). Freddy convinces the animatronics through supportive Youtube comments, that the channel itself needs to be revived; All the while, Freddy is being forced against his will to tell them to revive it, as it all falls into Glitchtrap's plan, currently unknown to the viewer. This video marks the return of the channel.
==Trivia==
*On the channel, Foxy is best friends with BB, which references their “teamwork” in FNAF 2, where BB takes the flashlight battery to let Withered Foxy kill Jeremy.
*Eth was successfully able to complete Night 8 of FNaF 4, being one of the few that has succeeded. He did this during a let’s play video where Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy and BB all played the night, each taking turns in the process. With BB eventually overcoming the night, and beating it, becoming the “King of FNAF 4”. Said video is also the reason why Nightmare is known as a “cheater”.
*Plushtrap has a deep-seated hatred of the other Nightmares, and so is always making evil plans to sabotage them and their own evil plans. He is a bit of a narcissist, and will do anything to be better than everyone else and get his way.
*During the period in which the FNaF 2 establishment was open, Golden Freddy and the Puppet put their "powers" (not a lot is known about the said powers) into two cupcakes, and they were able to erase some of the traumatic experiences their friends had had prior to the events of FNaF 2.
*Candy the Cat (from horror game franchise "Five Nights at Candy's") and the other animatronics from FNaF are friends, with Freddy Fazbear being his best friend. Despite that, Candy loves to kidnap Freddy, tie him up in a chair, and force him to react with him to Five Nights at Candy's teasers, with Freddy getting tired of it, and wishing Candy to stop. Freddy eventually turned the table and tied Candy up for another reaction video, then they tied themselves up later for another one. This reached a point where, during the 1,000,000 subscriber video, the animatronics were now annoyed with Candy, leading to him pretending to be obvious disguises of Toy Chica (with the Burger as Toy Cupcake), Phone Guy (referencing his Phone Guy role in fangame Five Nights at Eth's), and Balloon Boy to still show up in the video.
*In an Ultimate Custom Night video that EthGoesBOOM had uploaded on the Chaos 2 mode, there was a scene that showed an "Indie Horror League of Villains". The characters involved in said league were Springtrap, Scrap Baby, Nightmare, the Scooper, Slenderman and Tattletail. The group was brought together by Springtrap to get revenge on BB and JJ, who had broken his beloved axe, Tracey. Unfortunately Springtrap's plan backfired, as the other members got angry at him for bringing them together just because of a "stupid axe", as described by Nightmare and left.
*Plushtrap and Tattletail became best friends after an incident in which Plushtrap had tried to kill Nightmare, and was forced to play the Tattletail game. Plushtrap had yelled at Tattletail in fits of anger, who then framed Plushtrap for a separate incident in which the animatronics' previous laptop was stolen and sent into the past to the Sister Location animatronics, forcing them to buy another one. Surprisingly, Plushtrap liked the fact that Tattletail had done something so evil, and they decided to become best friends.
**However in Springtrap’s Let’s Play of Abandoned Discovery Island, when Plushtrap sent the laptop to the Sister Location animatronics, he mentions using Golden Freddy’s box (the one from FNAF 4) to do so. Plushtrap revealed that this was to see how Golden Freddy would react
*All of the Nightmares show some hatred of Plushtrap, but they do not show hatred towards a lot of other animatronics. 
*EthBringsDOOM, formerly known as EthGoesEVIL, is the evil version of EthGoesBOOM. He is depicted by Eth as a 'dark entity' and attempts to possess Eth, who is driven off by fans telling him "Boom Boom, Go Away Doom!".
*Before joining Dee Dee's roster in Ultimate Custom Night, Plushtrap took his anger out alongside Candy Cadet, who was cut from the roster, by assembling every FNAF character (except Phantom Puppet and the FNAF World characters other than Adventure Endo-01, who was also cut from the roster) who didn't get into the game into a group known as "the Anti-Ultimate Custom Night" in an attempt to shut it down. Fortunately, Plushtrap and the others got the opportunity to play UCN as a compromise, and Plushtrap eventually joined Dee Dee's roster (as did Nightmare Chica, the Minireenas, and Lolbit, all of whom were part of the alliance).
*Despite being mainly a FNAF channel, characters from FNAF fangames and other games Scott made have appeared, these include Candy from Five Nights at Candy's, Bendy and Boris from Bendy and the Ink Machine, Coffee from The Desolate Hope, Photo Negative Mickey from Abandoned by Disney (and Five Nights at Treasure Island), Slenderman, and Tattletail from Tattletail. However, Coffee and Candy could be considered FNAF characters, as Coffee was added in FNAF World Update 2 as one of the eight new characters, and Candy’s franchise is a part of the Fazbear Fanverse Initiative.
*Coffee appeared on the thumbnail for the 1,000,000 subscriber special. However, he does not appear in the video. It's likely he was planned to appear in the video as one of the interviewed characters, but was cut.
*When Freddy interviewed Nightmare for the 1 Million Subscriber Special, he talked about an event that had not yet happened where he claimed to destroy the animatronics and take over the Pizzeria. Nightmare is possibly predicting an event that hadn't happened yet, although it's unknown.
*When being introduced to the channel when BB reacted to Ennard's teaser, JJ said that she's "been hiding in the Shadows". This implies that she has been watching the characters all the time before introducing herself. However, she appeared in the FNAF World Let’s Plays and was even voiced, albeit it was different from the one she has now (and based on the FNAF World iteration of the character).
*He has an alternate channel called King of Caps, later renamed Aussie King, where he makes Let's Plays without using his FNAF character voices.
*His top 5/10 list videos usually have something to do with the animatronics, but a couple have other things have appeared as well.
*His top 10/5 list videos are his most viewed series.
*On May 6, 2020 he revealed his face on Twitter, and on the YouTube Community tab on his channel.
*In 2015, Eth auditioned as a voice actor for the original build of Five Nights at Treasure Island, as the game was in need of voice actors. He applied as the voice of Oswald, Mickey, Acephalous and The Face. Despite not getting in, viewers loved it.
*Toy Bonnie once had two voices in his head, one cool and one stupid. Both are Eth's previous voices for the character before settling on his current voice. The others usually questioned this, and Toy Bonnie never told them about it, usually just brushing it off. He later admitted to this, and Puppet decided to transfer the voices to Rockstar Bonnie and El Chip.
*During a Let’s Play of Ultimate Nintendo Night. Eth (as Toy Bonnie) stated that he really likes SML, as the game featured a mode titled “SML Movie” as a reference to the channel. He even decided to call Bowser Jr., Koopa Troopa and Kamek by their SML names (Junior, Joseph and Cody).
*Eth has four fangames based on his channel, these being the two Five Night’s at Eth’s world games, Five Nights at Eth’s, and The Fazbear Massacre. Out of all of these, The Fazbear Massacre is the only one to be based on an event on the channel, where Springtrap escaped the safe room and killed Freddy, Chica, Foxy, BB, Mangle and the Puppet, turning them into the Phantom animatronics. Fortunately Golden Freddy, Bonnie, Toy Freddy, JJ and Spring Bonnie were all able to escape and were able to stop Springtrap, with Plushtrap also assisting to get his revenge, after Springtrap refused to team up with him.
*The well-known FNAF Fan-game “Popgoes” received its own series of Let's Plays with an overarching story, where the game was portrayed as a virus corrupting the animatronics, taking them down one by one, including the Paperpals, Candy, and the Penguin, with Puppet having to be the one to stop the game and save everyone, only for the games main antagonist, Simon to blow up the world at the end and it being revealed to be a story Puppet had made up.
*Toy Chica, Springtrap and Plushtrap are the only characters to have previously not been voiced by Eth, with Eth’s friends Chaos Lord and WhackyCast playing Plushtrap and Springtrap and Toy Chica being played by KJ Gamer Girl. Eth briefly voiced Springtrap in an early FNAF2 Let's Play video prior to WhackyCast joining the channel, however.
*According to the events in "Retrieval Complete", although it is in a much different interpretation, the channel's hiatus and mass reporting incident are canon to the characters' story.
*Eth originally reacted using his FNAF personas to more famous videos based on FNAF (such as the 5 AM at Freddy's series by Piemations and the Freddy's Spaghettiria videos by SMG4), but has since unlisted most of them to avoid copyright strikes, leaving the original videos hidden in his reaction playlists. The FNAF3-themed Freddy's Spaghettiria video is the only one of his old SMG4 reactions he left publicly available to view. On April 1, 2024, he finally reacted to another Piemations video, this time the then-recent "Superstar Edition", and incorporated it into the storyline of his Help Wanted 2 Let's Play.
*Eth also originally planned to do videos in which his FNAF voices would sing popular FNAF fansongs, which he discontinued before any of them would be uploaded about in order to avoid the videos being copyrighted. So far, the songs he planned were based on songs by MandoPony, with an early audio file of the animatronics singing "Survive the Night", and Eth confirming he had ideas based on "Noticed" and "Just Gold".
