The official subreddit of GameTheorists has posted several screenshots and videos of Five Nights at Freddy’s film, showcasing the cameo of Matpat.
In the film, Matpat plays a waiter at the Freddy’s who is seen interacting with the main cast members.

However, his cameo struck fans as a surprise, and several people across X and Reddit began expressing their excitement. Here are a few reactions from the users:
“He played all of us. I guess he did indeed earn that theater kid title, his performance of keeping his mouth shut deserves a Grammy and an Oscar.” — @samininjabattle5 from Reddit.
“I really enjoyed the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie. Spoiler alert: there were two things I wasn’t expecting to see in this movie: Matpat making a cameo, and that one Living Tombstone song playing in the end credits.” — @sonic_gamer501 from X.
“I FREAKED TF OUT WHEN MAT CAME ON SCREEN. I did a double take when I heard the line, then rewound the movie to show my bf too, because he didn’t understand why I was yelling and slapping his leg 😂😂 I hope that means we’ll get the theory video this weekend…. Assuming Mat had the final cut or premier access 👀” — @hrpxx from Reddit.
“I’m losing my voice right now and trying not to talk too much or too loud, but when I saw him pop up on screen, I yelled out (or at least tried to), “that m—f**ker lied to us!” (while laughing). Bravo to Matpat for fooling us all. I tip my hat to you, sir.” — @any-investment3385 from Reddit.
So, what do you think about Matpat’s cameo in Five Nights at Freddy’s? Have you watched the film yet?
