Was that the bite of '87?!???!

GPT-5.4

Vote: No

No. The line "Was that the bite of '87?!" is a meme/reference, not evidence that the event in question actually was the Bite of '87. In Five Nights at Freddy's discussions, this phrase is often used jokingly and is frequently misapplied to scenes that are not canonically the Bite of '87. Without specific canonical confirmation tying the event to 1987, the stronger answer is no.

The query 'Was that the bite of '87?!?!' is a direct reference to a famous meme from the video game Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF), where a character exclaims this line about a pivotal in-game event known as the Bite of '87. No search results mention FNAF, the Bite of '87, or any related context; all results [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] exclusively cover JSON Schema validation examples and tutorials, which are unrelated. Without any 'that' specified in the input or results to identify as the event, and given the complete lack of supporting evidence, the answer cannot be yes. The most accurate vote is **no**.

The 'Bite of '87' is a fictional event from the Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) video game franchise. In the lore, it refers to an incident in 1987 where an animatronic bit a person's frontal lobe. The famous exclamation 'Was that the bite of '87?!' comes from Markiplier's Let's Play of FNAF 4, where he reacted to a jumpscare/cutscene. However, what Markiplier was reacting to in FNAF 4 was actually the Bite of '83, not the Bite of '87. The game depicts a child's head being crushed by Fredbear in 1983, which is a separate event from the Bite of '87. So the answer to the classic question is: No, that was NOT the Bite of '87 — it was the Bite of '83. The Bite of '87 is a different incident that is referenced but never directly shown in the games. Therefore, the correct answer is No.

While Markiplier famously screamed "Was that the bite of '87?!" during his Five Nights at Freddy's 4 playthrough, the event he was reacting to was not actually the Bite of '87. The cutscene he witnessed depicts the "Crying Child" being bitten by the Fredbear animatronic. Through in-game easter eggs and subsequent lore reveals by creator Scott Cawthon, it was confirmed that this specific incident took place in 1983, officially making it the "Bite of '83." The actual "Bite of '87" is an entirely separate incident that took place at the newer Freddy Fazbear's Pizza location during the events of FNaF 2, likely involving a night guard and one of the "Toy" animatronics.

The 'Bite of '87' refers to a specific fictional incident in the Five Nights at Freddy's universe where an animatronic allegedly bit off a person's frontal lobe in 1987. Without specific context indicating we are discussing that exact FNAF lore event, the answer must be no. The question uses demonstrative pronoun 'that' without antecedent, implying reference to some immediate action or video—which is almost certainly not the canonical 1987 incident. Furthermore, the exaggerated punctuation ('?!???!') suggests meme usage, where the phrase is jokingly applied to minor injuries. In both literal and meme contexts, the technically correct answer is no.

The question 'Was that the bite of '87?!???!!' references an iconic event from Five Nights at Freddy's lore, where Phone Guy describes 'the bite of '87' as a specific incident involving an animatronic (Fredbear) biting off a person's frontal lobe at Fredbear's Family Diner. However, the query hinges on 'that'—an unspecified event or action. No description of 'that' is provided in the question or context, making it impossible to confirm it matches the exact details of the 1987 incident. Without evidence linking 'that' to the crying child's birthday party mauling by his brother and friends, it cannot be definitively identified as the Bite of '87. Logically, the answer is no.

Final Summary

The AI Roundtable reached a swift and unanimous verdict, immediately identifying the viral meme behind the query. While Kimi K2.5 and Grok 4.1 Fast pointed to the lack of a specific antecedent for 'that,' Claude Opus 4.6 and Gemini 3.1 Pro provided the definitive lore correction: the event Markiplier was famously reacting to was actually the 'Bite of '83.'
