"ugh, knockoff Bob the builder stuff, why is this here?"
- some kids, probably.
Bob the Builder went off the air in 2011. 15 years ago. Wreck-it Ralph was in theaters in 2012. An argument could be made that some of Felix's "DNA" is Bob, actually... but kids today would probably be more dismissive of the upright arcade cabinet form factor in general than quibbling over two IPs that only 20+ year olds really remember formatively.

Yeah I would bet most of the kids playing there wouldn't know that it wasn't just another retro arcade game like all the other machines in there.

Bob the Builder was still on the air past 2011, just in repeats. Even when L'il Z was... little, he was still very popular. Also, we have 3 Yestercades locations near us, all of which are very popular with young kids, and yes, they do know what the Fix-It Felix game is, thanks to Disney+. It's still very popular. In fact, they have to rotate their one Fix-It Felix game between locations because of it's popularity.

EDIT: Li'l Z has his friend sleeping over, and I walked downstairs to show them Blot's photo, and they're like, "We know that game! It's from Wreck-It Ralph!".

I just want to point out that doing an image search for "goth bathtub" brings up a large number of very interesting images.
...many of which include a coffin-shaped tray similar to the one pictured above, except with a slot pre-cut to allow for holding a wine glass, as if the designers already know you're going to want a cabernet or merlot to go with your soak.
