Fans of the video game series Five Nights at Freddy's are seeing the side profile silhouette of the character Edwin Murray everywhere they go, all because of a viral song called "Jackie's Box" that includes the now-famous verse, "My name is Edwin. I made the mimic."

When the song first dropped in December, people focused on a different verse called "My Name is David." Upon further inspection, Edwin's verse also apparently slapped, eventually generating its own memes on Twitter / X and TikTok.

So, where did this meme start? Who is Edwin Murray anyway? Let's explain.
