* VillainSong: Monster, a DummiedOut song sung by an equally dummied out freaky looking shadow demon with a lemon for a head. Its lyrics are about the monster gleefully wanting to '''butcher you and your girlfriend to gobble you up for lunch.'''

* DummiedOut: Within the game's coding lies sprites for a character that serves as a send-up to Music/LemonDemon...in the form of a [[ShapedLikeItself shadowy, demonic looking creature with a lemon for a head]]. He also has a DummiedOut song, "Monster". It's...[[DarthWiki/NightmareFuel not exactly the most pleasant sounding thing in the world.]] Due to the game's open source nature, modders found him quickly and were able to make him and his song a full level complete with notes. [[https://youtu.be/gYKr8KuJgl4 See for yourself.]]


Added DiffLines:

* LyricalDissonance: Monster, a song DummiedOut from the official release. The song is at its most bouncy and cheerful whenever its singer, the Music/LemonDemon sings about '''skinning you, chopping you up, and boiling The Girlfriend into a broth.''' No wonder it didn't make it into the final release.


Added DiffLines:

* SoundtrackDissonance: The DummiedOut Music/LemonDemon character has its own song, Monster. In it, he joyfully sings about all the '''gruesome''' ways that he wants to ''kill you and your girlfriend and eat you both for lunch...''all to the tune of a jolly barbershop quartet ditty.

The Boyfriend is high-pitched scat-singing that mimics the lines of other characters, The Father has Tom Jones-style crooning, Skidd and Pumpy have samples of their dialogue from their cartoons, and Pico has robotic-sounding radio chatter.

!!''Friday Night Funkin'' provides examples of the following Tropes:

*AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: The Father is a light shade of purple to emphasise his sinister look...Which is a little odd considering his daughter, The Girlfriend, is white.

*BattleRapping: The game is set up as a rapping contest between The Boyfriend and The Father over whether or not you get to date The Girlfriend. Thing is, the lyrics to all the songs sound like Animal Crossing speak. The Girlfriend is the only character in the game who speaks clear english, and it's needed to explain the tutorial.

*TheCameo: Week 2, introduced as part of a halloween update, has you squaring up against Skidd and Pumpy from [[Creator/SrPelo Sr.Pelo's]] Spooky Month shorts. They even do their little spooky dance!

*DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: One click of the screen after failing a song is all you need to try again from the top. The game over screen doesn't even have a visible quit option. Just a retry button. It even has music that's just as groovy as the other tracks.

*DemBones: [[Creator/SrPelo Sr.Pelo's]] Skidd from Week 2 naturally wears a skeleton costume. You also get an x-ray of The Boyfriend whenever you fail a song.

*DifficultyLevels: Each Week has an Easy, Normal, and Hard mode to select from. Easy mode is played straight with slower and less notes compared to Normal. Zigzagged with Hard mode: there's no discernable difference to note frequency and speed compared to Normal, except for one major difference: SPOILER: a big-ass chart of arrows that floods you about two seconds before the tutorial ends. After that, you're playing as if you were on Normal. :SPOILER END

*DifficultyByAcceleration: Naturally for a rhythm game, faster songs mean faster notes to hit with quicker reflexes. Week 1's final song, "Dadbattle", has a fast-paced tempo appropriate for what is essentially a boss fight against The Father, and both of Week 2's songs have good amounts of rapid fire notes.

*DisproportionateRetribution: According to the descriptions of the game on Newgrounds and Itch.io, The Father is apparently trying to straight up kill you for daring to date his daughter.

*DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Screw up a song and you're treated to an x-ray of the Boyfriend's cracked skeleton, which also includes two pulsating little spheres...located on his crotch. Which are also colored blue.

*ExcusePlot: You got a hot new girlfriend but her rockstar dad's not having any of it. Rap, you fool! Rap!

*FearofThunder: Week 2 has a thunderstorm going on outside with occasional flashes of lightning. If you look at The Girlfriend during the lightning flash, you can see that she gets a little scared for a moment. Heck, The Boyfriend gets a nervous look every time lightning flashes as well.

*GuestFighter: Well, guest rappers actually, but the point still stands.

In fact, after the halloween update, the game already has two guests: [[Creator/SrPelo Sr.Pelo's]] Skidd and Pumpy, who fight you together during Week 2.

*HalloweenEpisode: How Week 2 is set up. You're rapping against Skidd and Pumpy from [[Creator/SrPelo Sr.Pelo's]] Spooky Month videos in a haunted mansion.

*MarilynManeuver: Look closely at the background of the main menu screen and you can see The Girlfriend trying to keep her dress from billowing up. Considering the smile on her face, she might be enjoying it.

*Ms.Fanservice: The Girlfriend. Long brunette hair, red dress like Jessica Rabbit, curvaceous figure. Let's just say The Boyfriend hooked up with her for a reason.

*OverprotectiveDad: Par for the course with The Father. He challenges you to a rapping contest over his daughter and some descriptions say he wants to outright murder you.

*RedEyesTakeWarning: The Father's got a pair of bright shiny ones and he sure looks like someone that you don't wanna mess with.

*TheUnintelligible: Only The Girlfriend seems to speak english. The rest of the characters sound like if K.K.Slider took up rapping.

The game was made by the group as part of a game jam, [[https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/friday-night-funkin Ludum Dare 47]], and has since gained a bit of a following for its unique Newgrounds-animation-esque artstyle and funky music.

[[ExcusePlot The plot is easy to follow]]: You play as The Boyfriend (Yes, that's his name.), a blue haired rapper who's hooked up with the smokin' hot babe you see pictured above, The Girlfriend (Yes, that's her name.). Her dad, The Father ([[RuleOfThree Yes, that's his name.]]), isn't all too keen on you and her...*ahem*...[[{{Pun}} gettin' funky]], so he challenges you to a rapping contest for your right to keep dating her. It won't be easy beating him, especially since he's [[RetiredBadass an ex rockstar]] who may or may not be trying to kill you. Even if you do win, who's to say some other schmuck won't try to steal your girl? Looks like you got a long career ahead of you...

The game can be found on both [[https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/770371 Newgrounds]] and [[https://ninja-muffin24.itch.io/funkin Itch.io]] for free. This version of the game is considered to be a demo of sorts, consisting of six playable tracks divided into "Weeks". The developers plan to expand the game into a full-fledged release with new tracks, levels, and characters.
