* PyrricVictory: In the figurine promotional video, they successfully manage to turn Boyfriend into a figurine with no way to turn back on his own. However, they then proceed to give him to Girlfriend as a present, which not only puts him into a position where Girlfriend can reverse the process through ThePowerOfLove, but even worse gets him into her room unobstructed, where the two proceed to have loud sex that keeps Daddy and Mommy awake.

* ForcedTransformation: Undergoes it after Mommy Mearest manages to get her hands on him, turning him into a figurine.



* LighterAndSofter: Downplayed. Pico in his home series, even when his opponents were all ''much'' worse people, was more crass, violent, and downright sociopathic at times. In ''Friday Night Funkin''', while he's still hot-headed, a lot of that is toned down and he's more of a HitmanWithAHeart, refusing to kill Boyfriend despite being hired to do so [[spoiler:twice]]. [[spoiler:Week 7]] lets him off this leash, [[spoiler:gunning down several Tankmen with sadistic glee]].

* TrueLovesKiss: Done completely on accident in the cutscene advertising the Boyfriend figurine, where Boyfriend was transformed into said figurine and was gifted to Girlfriend. Girlfriend spends the whole day with the figurine without knowing it was the real Boyfriend until she gave it a goodnight kiss, which qualified as the trope enough to break the curse and turning Boyfriend back to normal.

Week 3's opponent: a hotheaded redhead who serves as one of Newgrounds' iconic mascot characters, known best as the star of Tom Fulp's ''[[VideoGame/{{Pico}} Pico's School]]'', fought on top of a building besides the railroad. His sequel may have been cancelled, but he's still packing heat with his UZI and on the mic. He's later PromotedToPlayable and serves as the protagonist vs Darnell.

For tropes pertaining to Pico in ''VideoGame/{{Pico}}'' see [[Characters/{{Pico}} this page]].



* AgeLift: He's a teenager along with his fellow classmates within his home series; here, he's an adult implied to be around the same age as Boyfriend and Girlfriend. Justified as the game takes place years after the original ''Pico'' series.
* AmicableExes: At least in this version. As stated in Boyfriend's folder, downplayed; he at least has enough remaining amicable-ness to not shoot his ex-boyfriend, but that's about it.[[note]]In the FNF QNA, it was first jokingly answered that they are exes. By the second time it was asked, [=Ninjamuffin99=] replied "It's canon". It's also confirmed by the creators in other platforms like Twitch. Tom Fulp says it'll be a thing for Pico's School 2, which is known to have been "in development" for over 20 years. It's even teased in an April Fools update to Pico's School by saying to Cassandra that his boyfriend is... well, Boyfriend. Sergeant John Captain, A.K.A. Tankman, in Week 7's update lampshades this by describing him as BF's "sexually ambiguous angry little friend". It's possible this is simply one of Pico's many interpretive traits. The creators are known for being trolls. [=PhantomArcade=] stated on his Twitter that he welcomes headcanons, including LGBT ones.[[/note]] [[spoiler:Could be straighter than Pico leads on as he comes to save them in Week 7, but he had other reasons for showing up and may have just gotten carried away.]]
* AntagonistTitle: The main opponent in Week 3, titled "Pico". Notably, he is the only character that has both a week and a song named after him.
* ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: Has rather poor trigger discipline to say the least; his finger is always on the trigger, and makes wild movements while singing. It's a wonder why his Uzi hasn't gone off despite his [[RecklessGunUsage reckless usage of it]].
* {{BFG}}: Relative to his small stature, he's brandishing a comically large [=UZI=] almost half his size.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:In Week 7, he dives in to save Girlfriend from the Tankmen, and spends the rest of the last song, "Stress", gunning down Tankmen to the beat to protect both Boyfriend and Girlfriend. And he wasn't supposed to save them in the first place!]]
* BloodKnight: [[spoiler:His expression makes it clear that Pico is having the time of his life gunning down the Tankman army in Week 7.]]
* BoastfulRap: His first song, "Pico", opens with Pico distinctly cheering himself on.
* BottomlessMagazines: Pico seemingly [[spoiler:never runs out of ammo when he is gunning down the Tankmen that approach the stage during "Stress".]]
* CanonImmigrant: Pico's story began in his own series on Newgrounds in the late 90's, but as ''Friday Night Funkin''' grew in popularity, he became ingrained in the lore as Boyfriend's ex... well, boyfriend. Assuming the creators aren't trolling, that is. It's even teased in an April Fools update to Pico's School.
* CruelMercy: He might not be willing to gun down an old ex-boyfriend of his, but he sure as hell intends on making a fool out of him in front of his girlfriend in a rap battle. [[spoiler:Of course, he pulls off a more genuine -- albeit bloodshedding -- act of mercy by saving Boyfriend and Girlfriend from being shot by the Tankmen in Week 7, even when he wasn't supposed to since Girlfriend's parents actually contracted him again to track down Boyfriend and Girlfriend after her parents organize a setup to get Boyfriend killed in a plane and confirm he died in the attempt.]]
* TheDragon: To Daddy Dearest, with the man sending him to kill Boyfriend [[spoiler:twice]], with WordOfGod also confirming both of them will return in future weeks.
* DynamicEntry: [[spoiler:In Week 7, he makes his spectacular entrance by taking out the Tankmen holding Girlfriend at gunpoint and pushing her out of harm's way.]]
* FieryRedhead: Newgrounds' finest, and on top of being a ProfessionalKiller these days, he's also got a deep and aggressive style of rapping.
* GangstaStyle: Holds his gun sideways during his down and left poses for extra style.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Rather than killing Boyfriend immediately, he decided to take him on in a rap battle. This bites him in the ass when Darnell and Nene come after them for botching their contract with Daddy Dearest.
* GuestFighter: One of Newgrounds' most iconic mascots and Tom Fulp's poster boy. For a game that celebrates Newgrounds and Flash content in general, it's practically ''obligatory'' to include him.
* GunsAkimbo: [[spoiler:Wields two [=UZIs=] while gunning down Tankmen troops during Week 7's "Stress".]]
* GunTwirling: [[spoiler:Spins one of his [=UZIs=] whenever he is in his idle animation during "Stress".]]
* HitmanWithAHeart: Upon finding out his mark is Boyfriend, someone he has a personal history with, he refuses to gun him down on the spot like the job entailed and instead opts for a [[CruelMercy rap battle to humiliate him with]] instead. [[spoiler:Not only that, but Pico is contracted again to confirm Boyfriend's death after Girlfriend's parents set up a plan to get him killed, but instead decides to save Boyfriend and Girlfriend when the Tankmen attempt to kill them in Week 7's third song, "Stress".]]
* HoldTheLine: [[spoiler:Pico takes Girlfriend's place on the speakers during "Stress" while gunning down any Tankmen that attempt to interfere in the battle between Boyfriend and Captain]].
* LighterAndSofter: Downplayed. Pico in his home series, even when his opponents were all ''much'' worse people, was more crass, violent, and downright sociopathic at times. In ''Friday Night Funkin''', while he's still hot-headed, a lot of that is toned down and he's more of a HitmanWithAHeart, refusing to kill Boyfriend despite being hired to do so [[spoiler:twice]]. [[spoiler:Week 7]] lets him off this leash, [[spoiler:gunning down several Tankmen with sadistic glee]].
* MeaningfulName: Pico's second song, "Philly/Philly Nice", refers to the fact that Pico is from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the name itself is a term used to describe the bluntness of Philadelphians, such as Pico himself.
* MickeyMousing: [[spoiler:In "Stress", he shoots the Tankmen around him to the beat of the music. Taken to another level in "Blazing," which consists of him and Darnell punching each other to the chart, neither of them actually singing anymore.]]
* MonochromaticEyes: In contrast to Boyfriend and Girlfriend's BlackBeadEyes, Pico's eyes are completely white just like in his home series.
* MoreDakka: [[spoiler:Pico continuously shoots at the Tankmen that try to approach him during "Stress" and even [[MickeyMousing matching the rhythm of the song]].]]
* MrFanservice: In the teaser trailer for the game's Pico Day 2022 update, one of the animated scenes briefly reveals that [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FOA2jV0WQAss9RD?format=png&name=small his abs are surprisingly toned for his short stature]] under his shirt. Considering his profession as a hired gun and the feats he's performed in the past, it's only natural that he'd have such a physique.
* OhCrap: He effectively has this reaction the moment he notices Nene in Weekend 1, realizing that both she and Darnell will be after him for blowing the deal they made with Daddy Dearest.
* OneManArmy: [[spoiler:He blams GF's captors and the rest of the Tankman army (except for the Captain, who's still having a rap battle with BF).]]
* OrnamentalWeapon: He waves around his trademark [=UZI=] ''while rapping'', gun safety be damned. Justified, as he intended to use it before he found out just who his mark was. [[spoiler:Averted in Week 7 where not only does he dual wield [=UZIs=], but uses them too.]]
* ProfessionalKiller: This version of Pico is the same age as Boyfriend and Girlfriend (since the game takes place years after the original "Pico" series) who works as a mercenary and is hired by Daddy Dearest to kill Boyfriend in Week 3. However, Pico is only ever given a location and not a name, and when he finds out his target is someone he has a personal history with, he decides to challenge him to a rap battle instead. Pico is contracted a second time to track down Boyfriend and Girlfriend after her parents organize a setup to get Boyfriend killed in a plane and confirm he died in the attempt. But instead, Pico decides to [[spoiler:save the couple after the Tankmen are about to execute Girlfriend, essentially botching the whole plan Girlfriend's parents prepared]].
* RadioVoice: His "voice" sounds like it's filtered through a radio, though it's more robotic-sounding than it is human.
* RedheadInGreen: His green shirt and khakis are about as iconic as the [=UZI=] he carries around.
* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler:He's ''really'' having fun shooting up the Tankmen in Week 7, sporting a really pleased grin the whole time.]]
* SpeakingSimlish: Downplayed. His rap style includes him mumbling a few literal words on top of the usual Simlish the characters sing with, namely, 'Go Pico!' 'C'mon' and 'That's right!'
* VocalDissonance: He's almost as short as Boyfriend and can't be much older than a young adult, but he's also got the deepest singing voice of the cast.

* AntagonistTitle: The main opponent in Week 3, titled "Pico". Notably, he is the only character that has both a week and a song named after him.
* ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: Has rather poor trigger discipline to say the least; his finger is always on the trigger, and makes wild movements while singing. It's a wonder why his Uzi hasn't gone off despite his [[RecklessGunUsage reckless usage of it]].
* {{BFG}}: Relative to his small stature, he's brandishing a comically large [=UZI=] almost half his size.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:In Week 7, he dives in to save Girlfriend from the Tankmen, and spends the rest of the last song, "Stress", gunning down Tankmen to the beat to protect both Boyfriend and Girlfriend. And he wasn't supposed to save them in the first place!]]
* BloodKnight: [[spoiler:His expression makes it clear that Pico is having the time of his life gunning down the Tankman army in Week 7.]]
* BoastfulRap: His first song, "Pico", opens with Pico distinctly cheering himself on.
* BottomlessMagazines: Pico seemingly [[spoiler:never runs out of ammo when he is gunning down the Tankmen that approach the stage during "Stress".]]
* CanonImmigrant: Pico's story began in his own series on Newgrounds in the late 90's, but as ''Friday Night Funkin''' grew in popularity, he became ingrained in the lore as Boyfriend's ex... well, boyfriend. Assuming the creators aren't trolling, that is. It's even teased in an April Fools update to Pico's School.
* CruelMercy: He might not be willing to gun down an old ex-boyfriend of his, but he sure as hell intends on making a fool out of him in front of his girlfriend in a rap battle. [[spoiler:Of course, he pulls off a more genuine -- albeit bloodshedding -- act of mercy by saving Boyfriend and Girlfriend from being shot by the Tankmen in Week 7, even when he wasn't supposed to since Girlfriend's parents actually contracted him again to track down Boyfriend and Girlfriend after her parents organize a setup to get Boyfriend killed in a plane and confirm he died in the attempt.]]
* TheDragon: To Daddy Dearest, with the man sending him to kill Boyfriend [[spoiler:twice]], with WordOfGod also confirming both of them will return in future weeks.
* DynamicEntry: [[spoiler:In Week 7, he makes his spectacular entrance by taking out the Tankmen holding Girlfriend at gunpoint and pushing her out of harm's way.]]
* FieryRedhead: Newgrounds' finest, and on top of being a ProfessionalKiller these days, he's also got a deep and aggressive style of rapping.
* GangstaStyle: Holds his gun sideways during his down and left poses for extra style.
* GuestFighter: One of Newgrounds' most iconic mascots and Tom Fulp's poster boy. For a game that celebrates Newgrounds and Flash content in general, it's practically ''obligatory'' to include him.
* GunsAkimbo: [[spoiler:Wields two [=UZIs=] while gunning down Tankmen troops during Week 7's "Stress".]]
* GunTwirling: [[spoiler:Spins one of his [=UZIs=] whenever he is in his idle animation during "Stress".]]
* HitmanWithAHeart: Upon finding out his mark is Boyfriend, someone he has a personal history with, he refuses to gun him down on the spot like the job entailed and instead opts for a [[CruelMercy rap battle to humiliate him with]] instead. [[spoiler:Not only that, but Pico is contracted again to confirm Boyfriend's death after Girlfriend's parents set up a plan to get him killed, but instead decides to save Boyfriend and Girlfriend when the Tankmen attempt to kill them in Week 7's third song, "Stress".]]
* HoldTheLine: [[spoiler:Pico takes Girlfriend's place on the speakers during "Stress" while gunning down any Tankmen that attempt to interfere in the battle between Boyfriend and Captain]].
* LighterAndSofter: Downplayed. Pico in his home series, even when his opponents were all ''much'' worse people, was more crass, violent, and downright sociopathic at times. In ''Friday Night Funkin''', while he's still hot-headed, a lot of that is toned down and he's more of a HitmanWithAHeart, refusing to kill Boyfriend despite being hired to do so [[spoiler:twice]]. [[spoiler:Week 7]] lets him off this leash, [[spoiler:gunning down several Tankmen with sadistic glee]].
* MeaningfulName: Pico's second song, "Philly/Philly Nice", refers to the fact that Pico is from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the name itself is a term used to describe the bluntness of Philadelphians, such as Pico himself.
* MickeyMousing: [[spoiler:In "Stress", he shoots the Tankmen around him to the beat of the music. Taken to another level in "Blazing," which consists of him and Darnell punching each other to the chart, neither of them actually singing anymore.]]
* MonochromaticEyes: In contrast to Boyfriend and Girlfriend's BlackBeadEyes, Pico's eyes are completely white just like in his home series.
* MoreDakka: [[spoiler:Pico continuously shoots at the Tankmen that try to approach him during "Stress" and even [[MickeyMousing matching the rhythm of the song]].]]
* MrFanservice: In the teaser trailer for the game's Pico Day 2022 update, one of the animated scenes briefly reveals that [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FOA2jV0WQAss9RD?format=png&name=small his abs are surprisingly toned for his short stature]] under his shirt. Considering his profession as a hired gun and the feats he's performed in the past, it's only natural that he'd have such a physique.
* OhCrap: He effectively has this reaction the moment he notices Nene in Weekend 1, realizing that both she and Darnell will be after him for blowing the deal they made with Daddy Dearest.
* OneManArmy: [[spoiler:He blams GF's captors and the rest of the Tankman army (except for the Captain, who's still having a rap battle with BF).]]
* OrnamentalWeapon: He waves around his trademark [=UZI=] ''while rapping'', gun safety be damned. Justified, as he intended to use it before he found out just who his mark was. [[spoiler:Averted in Week 7 where not only does he dual wield [=UZIs=], but uses them too.]]
* ProfessionalKiller: This version of Pico is the same age as Boyfriend and Girlfriend (since the game takes place years after the original "Pico" series) who works as a mercenary and is hired by Daddy Dearest to kill Boyfriend in Week 3. However, Pico is only ever given a location and not a name, and when he finds out his target is someone he has a personal history with, he decides to challenge him to a rap battle instead. Pico is contracted a second time to track down Boyfriend and Girlfriend after her parents organize a setup to get Boyfriend killed in a plane and confirm he died in the attempt. But instead, Pico decides to [[spoiler:save the couple after the Tankmen are about to execute Girlfriend, essentially botching the whole plan Girlfriend's parents prepared]].
* RadioVoice: His "voice" sounds like it's filtered through a radio, though it's more robotic-sounding than it is human.
* RedheadInGreen: His green shirt and khakis are about as iconic as the [=UZI=] he carries around.
* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler:He's ''really'' having fun shooting up the Tankmen in Week 7, sporting a really pleased grin the whole time.]]
* SpeakingSimlish: Downplayed. His rap style includes him mumbling a few literal words on top of the usual Simlish the characters sing with, namely, 'Go Pico!' 'C'mon' and 'That's right!'
* VocalDissonance: He's almost as short as Boyfriend and can't be much older than a young adult, but he's also got the deepest singing voice of the cast.

Pico and Boyfriend being exes is no longer simply a headcanon, and it has been canon for some time now, which the devs have affirmed; it was only initially a joke that Tom Fulp was also in on, but became Ascended Fanon when ninjamuffin first confirmed it on a stream. Love Conquers All is an alternative timeline to the original Pico's School, and if anything, it indicates Fulp's approval of the concept of Pico and BF being exes. While the devs have been known to troll, the multiple confirmations of Pico and BF being exes indicates that this particular fact is decidedly not a troll, and not a mere interpretive trait of Pico anymore either. This note only serves to create confusion, and the Trivia page gives more info on the fact that this is actually canon.


* AmicableExes: Downplayed with Pico. Pico still hates Boyfriend and Girlfriend -- but he apparently just doesn't hate them enough to go through with shooting either of them. [[note]]In the FNF QNA, it was first jokingly answered that they are exes. By the second time it was asked, [=Ninjamuffin99=] replied "It's canon". It's also confirmed in other platforms like Twitch. Tom Fulp says it'll be a thing for Pico's School 2, which is [[DevelopmentHell known to have been "in development" for over 20 years]]. It's even teased in an April Fools update to Pico's School by saying to Cassandra that his boyfriend is... well, Boyfriend. Sergeant John Captain, A.K.A. Tankman, in Week 7's update lampshades this by describing him as BF's "sexually ambiguous angry little friend". It's possible this is simply one of Pico's many interpretive traits. The creators are known for being trolls. [=PhantomArcade=] stated on his Twitter that he welcomes headcanons, including LGBT ones.[[/note]][[spoiler:Of course, Pico does come to save them when the Tankmen plan to kill them in Week 7's 3rd song, "Stress," but he mainly showed up because he was hired by Dearest and Mearest to confirm that Boyfriend was dead.]]

* DisproportionateRetribution: According to the descriptions of the game on Newgrounds and Itch.io, Daddy Dearest is apparently trying to straight up ''kill'' Boyfriend for daring to date his daughter. Even if he's beaten during Week 1, he still sends Pico during Week 3 to kill Boyfriend.

* GuestFighter: One of Website/{{Newgrounds}}' most iconic mascots and Tom Fulp's poster boy. For a game that celebrates ''{{Website/Newgrounds}}'' and Flash content in general, it's practically ''obligatory'' to include him.

* GuestFighter: The number one most prominent guest to represent ''Website/{{Newgrounds}}'' right after Pico, considering he's quite literally the face of the website. After putting in Pico, adding the Tankmen into the game would also be quite obligatory.
