About
'Cause We're Playing Bendy or This Next One Might Get You Messy refers to a section of the 2019 song and music video "I'm a Gurkey Turkey" by FGTeeV in which the YouTuber and his son, Mike, sing a song about playing several well-known horror video games, including Bendy and the Ink Machine, with Mike introducing the game to his dad by singing, "This next one might get you messy," his dad responding, "Why?" and Mike continuing, "'cause we're playing Bendy."
The video was uploaded to YouTube in late November 2019 and saw a significant resurgence on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram Reels in late April 2026 as the subject of memes. The memes include brainrot video edits and a lip-dub trend in which participants split their screen in half and play the roles of both FGTeeV and Mike, one on the top and one on the bottom of the screen, while dancing.
