“With the exception of Orville Elephant, you can purchase them from the Stan’s Budget Tech section of the catalog as attractions for your pizzeria.” — Five Nights at Freddy's Official Character Encyclopedia, Page 182

The Mediocre Melodies are a group of animatronic entertainers that can be placed within Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place.

They first appeared in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator as purchasable items from the Stan's Budget Tech Catalog (except for Orville Elephant, who can be afforded from Rare Finds Auction, and Mystic Hippo, who debuted in another game) for customizing the pizzeria. They reappeared in Ultimate Custom Night, Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2, and some of them make cameo appearances in Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach.

Physical Appearance

They are animatronics made of a plastic material, who appear to be of a height similar to the average adult. Their appearance, like most of the animatronics in the series, is based on some animal, but whose bodies have an anthropomorphic shape. A metallic endoskeleton is known to be found underneath these suits, allowing them to move all their joints on stage. This endoskeleton is not seen much during the game, but it can be seen that it has a row of teeth and several characteristics that vary by character; for example, the animatronics who wear hats have their own mechanism that allows them to be lifted in the air; in addition, they seem to have a smaller endoskeleton than the others in the series. These always have a 12V battery nearby, which means they always depend on a limited external power source to function.

Functionality

The Mediocre Melodies on the roster for Ultimate Custom Night.

Due to their appearances being similar to the Classic Animatronics, they presumably have similar or equal functionality.

Animatronics

Happy Frog

Main article: Happy Frog

“Here’s an idea that hasn't already been done at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza or any of its associated establishments—an animatronic frog! Happy Frog has a humanoid body and a frog-like head. The fact she carries a microphone marks her out as the leader of the Mediocre Melodies.” — Five Nights at Freddy's Character Encyclopedia, page 183

Mr. Hippo

Main article: Mr. Hippo

“Mr. Hippo? Yes, I met Mr. Hippo once. It was about five years ago—or was it six? Yes, maybe it was six. Anyway, he was in the pizzeria, on the stage where he usually is, and I asked him what that box behind him was. And he said, "What box?" And I said, "That box, there." And he said, "Gosh, I forgot it was there. There’s an interesting story behind that box..."” — Five Nights at Freddy's Character Encyclopedia, page 184

Pigpatch

Main article: Pigpatch

“Pigpatch is the only member of the Mediocre Melodies to demonstrate musical ability, as he carries a banjo. If you encounter Pigpatch in Ultimate Custom Night, you may get to know the sound of his banjo better than you'd like to. He plays a little flourish on it after each time he speaks—usually a mocking comment at your expense.” — Five Nights at Freddy's Character Encyclopedia, page 185

Orville Elephant

Main article: Orville Elephant

“Orville is a magician and a good friend of Mr. Hippo—as you'd know if you've listened to any of Mr. Hippo’s interminable stories. He’s unique among the Mediocre Melodies in as much as he must be bought from the Rare Finds Auction section of the catalog, and he’s more expensive.” — Five Nights at Freddy's Character Encyclopedia, page 186

Nedd Bear

Main article: Nedd Bear

“Nedd Bear looks a little familiar. Is it possible he's an imitation of Freddy Fazbear—altered just enough to avoid any copyright issues? But he is wearing a regular tie instead of a bow tie .... so obviously completely different. Unlike most of the Mediocre Melodies, Nedd Bear has an Entertainment score of more than 4. He has 5, but he also comes with a Liability score of 1.” — Five Nights at Freddy's Character Encyclopedia, page 187

Nedd Bear is an animatronic bear that appears to be a knock-off Freddy Fazbear or Fredbear. He first appeared in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator as a purchable animatronic from Stan's Bucket Tech.

Fate

Near the end of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, Upon completion of the game's final night, the player's employer, who is revealed to be Henry Emily, the original founder of Fazbear Entertainment and former business partner of William Afton, reveals that the undergrounds chambers and the vent system have been disconnected from the main building, preventing the animatronics from reaching the pizzeria above, and thus trapping them. Henry then sets the building on fire, using remote burners built in the floor, with himself, the player, and the animatronics inside, destroying all of them and freeing all of William's victims in the process.

It's presumed that both the Rockstar Animatronics and the Mediocre Melodies were destroyed in the fire. However, in Tales from the Pizzaplex, it is mentioned that there were old endoskeletons scattered around the pizzeria. They were removed in order to allow construction of Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex, which was built on the site of the pizzeria. This suggests that the Rockstar Animatronics and the Mediocre Melodies may have been deactivated before the fire and that their suits were burned in the fire, but not their endoskeletons. In any case, the fate of their endoskeletons following their removal is currently unknown.

Speculation

"I was the first! I have seen everything!" This section archives a lot of theories and speculation, which usually occurs from pre-release media, or just things that are still unknown, so please keep that in mind while reading. The page will continue to be updated with the most accurate information as more solid evidence is supplied.

• The group's name may be a reference to "Merrie Melodies", a sister series of the classic Warner. Bros animated series "Looney Tunes".

The following information contains spoilers. To view them, click the [show] tag.

All of the Mediocre Melodies (except for Nedd Bear) somewhat resemble most of the masks seen in the background of the Happiest Day minigame in Five Nights at Freddy's 3. Due to this, it's unknown if they are the same entities or different entities entirely. It's speculated that the Mediocre Melodies and Withered Animatronics were created by Henry Emily, as they all have hinged jaws similar to the Rockstar Animatronics. There's speculation that the Mediocre Melodies existed alongside Chica the Chicken as a part of the location Chica's Party World hinted at in the source code of Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location in Game Theory's video FNAF, The Origins of Evil and speculated that Pizza Playground in The Puppet Carver is an analog to Chica's Party World.
