Synopsis[]
Huggy comes face to face with the notorious Jumbo Josh from the hit horror video game Garten Of BanBan, and must now come to terms with the damage he's done to the indie horror community...
Plot[]
The episode starts with a giant green monster breaking into Playtime Co., screaming the title of his game. Inadvertidely scaring Huggy, which he apologises for. After Huggy questions who he is, the figure reveals himself to be Jumbo Josh; a character from the new indie horror game, Garten of Banban.
After Josh introduces himself twice, Huggy says that he "can't do this anymore", before revealing that they had a whole thing planned involving him saying that GOB copied Poppy Playtime, and Bendy having an apperance to "get a few laughs". He then sits down, saying that he feels like they're just going through the motions, and that the more indie horror games come out, the more it feels like the magic is "gone." Saddenned by Huggy's speech, Josh invites him to sit on his lap, which he does, before getting a banjo from above. Joined by Bendy, Blue and Freddy, the group sings to Huggy about how they should work together, to help make the indie horror scene feel more unique; before then advertising Poppy Playtime Chapter 3, which ends the short.

Trivia[]
- Huggy mentions similar events to Poppy Playtime VS Rainbow Friends: both shorts not only feature the idea of Huggy calling out indie horror games for "ripping Poppy Playtime of", but Bendy is present in both.
- Blue and Freddy also appear as well.
- The song Josh, Bendy, Blue and Freddy sing to Huggy at the end of the short, is a parody of The Rainbow Connection from The Muppets. In addition, Josh's singing voice is an impression of Kermit The Frog.
- This short was likely made to criticise how recent Indie Mascot Horror Games, like Banban, had been using the same, or similar concept that Poppy Playtime had popularised; an abandoned children's establishment, now roamned by the now aggressive mascots that were brought to life through numerous experiments. Many also believe that the video was made as a 'response' to the claims that Poppy and Banban had "killed" the indie horror scene.
- This short is different from the others. Rather than being slightly dark with comedy thrown in, this short is made to be a bit more sadder, given Huggy's lament over what the indie horror scene has become.
- Moral: If you feel sad about something, tell someone you know, what's upsetting you, and see if they can help.
- The indie horror character's song does not have a name, nor are lyrics added to it.
- Josh says “brah” a total of six times in this video.
- In the Spanish dub, when introducing himself, Jumbo Josh says that he likes pickles instead of repeating "I'm Jumbo Josh, brah".
- The way Josh was portrayed in this video, eventually spurred into an online meme. Zachary Preciardo, who voices Josh in this short, also joined in on the meme, and made a few videos on X (Twitter), where he reacted to stuff in his Jumbo Josh voice.
- Additionally, Zachary's voice for Josh has become so popular, that many now consider him the headcanon voice actor for Josh.
