**Classic Jolly** • History • Gallery

**Classic Jolly** (a.k.a. **Generation 1 Jolly**, or just **Jolly**) is one of the main antagonists in Jolly 2, though he is active much less than the other animatronics. He also appears in the end of night minigames as well.

In Jolly 3: Chapter 1 and Jolly 3: Chapter 2, he is replaced by his withered counterpart, Withered Jolly.

## Appearance

Classic Jolly looks strikingly similar to the Red Fantasy Jolly Prototype from the first game, with a few different details such as yellow stripes, white gloves, black buttons and a fabric-like appearance, making his appearance look more bright and saturated. He also has normal eyes and black, metal sphere joints on his limbs.

If one looks closely on his head, especially on his Cargo Area 1 render, he appears to have no endoskeleton, although this could just simply be a modeling error.

## Lore Relevance

Classic Jolly is an animatronic built at the Jolly Factory in the year 1980, along with Classic George, and were stored at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza until the original Jolly’s location was built, in which they were placed there as animatronic entertainers.

After the closure of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, Classic Jolly and the other animatronics from Jolly's and Fazbear's were sent via ship to a safer location for health inspection reasons.

He is a Springlock animatronic, meaning they can function as both animatronic and costumes, but once Eric Liam Smith tried to wear the suit and got inside to hide from the police, the mechanisms of the Springlocks started to malfunction, which causes it to crush Eric from the inside as he starts to bleed, making it his remarkable grave.

He would rot inside of the Jolly Factory for over 3 decades until he became Withered Jolly, who would be absolutely destroyed by the collapse of the Jolly Factory and the Jolly Entertainment Underground Facility.

## Trivia

* For a long time, people thought that the Red Fantasy Jolly Prototype from the first Jolly game was Classic Jolly. It was later confirmed in 2022 that the Red Fantasy Jolly Prototype is a different animatronic entirely from Classic Jolly.
	+ It would've already been obvious that they are different, because Classic Jolly would have Eric die inside of him and become Withered Jolly before the events of Jolly even happened.
* Classic Jolly is the only animatronic in their respective teaser to have him hunched over facing the middle. He's also the only one who has the words 'Legends always return' as each space instead having every word have a space between each other on the bottom.
* Classic Jolly is the least active animatronic.
* Classic Jolly is the only animatronic that appears in the 2nd Class Hallway (CAM05).
* He has the longest jumpscare animation out of all the animatronics in Jolly 2.
	+ He also has the shortest jumpscare animation in Jolly, being only 4 frames long. Those 4 frames are repeated multiple times to make the flash effect.
	+ During his jumpscare, he gains black eyes and white glowing pupils.
		- He is the only animatronic to have black eyes in gameplay.
* A cutout of Classic Jolly the one from Jolly 2 can be seen in the office of Jolly 3: Chapter 1. He also appears to be doing a similar pose to the Fantasy Tweetie cutout from the first game's office.
* According to Weshek, due to Eric's death inside of Classic Jolly, Jolly Entertainment wanted to "rebrand" the bee's image so that they could move on from the incident. This is also the reason why the second generation model of Jolly was colored blue.
	+ Because of this, Classic Jolly is the only public Jolly animatronic (not counting prototypes) to be colored red.
