8''"Gettin' funny on a Friday night, yeah!"''

10Being a sendup to retro Flash animation, it’d be a shame if we didn’t mention some of the utter nonsense that goes on in ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin''.
11
12'''Beware of unmarked spoilers!'''
13----
14!!Game:
15* The title screen has a CouchGag where the third opening line changes every time you boot up the game. Most of them are lowercase and outright nonsensical. Highlights include:
16-->[[TakeThat better than]] [[VideoGame/GeometryDash geometry dash]] [=---=] fight me robtop\
17[[ShamelessSelfPromoter album of the year]] [=---=] [[https://drugpop.bandcamp.com/album/chuckie-finster chuckie finster]]\
18[[MemeAcknowledgement his name isn't keith --- dumb eggy lol]]\
19[[MemeAcknowledgement his name isnt evan --- silly tiktok]]\
20too overexposed [=---=] newgrounds can't handle us[[labelnote:note]]This became HilariousInHindsight when the Newgrounds site actually ''crashed'' due to the extreme levels of hype for Week 7's update.[[/labelnote]]\
21[[BlatantLies updates on friday --- on time every time]]\
22[[MondegreenGag Pico funny --- Pico funny]]\
23yooooooooooo [=---=] yooooooooo\
24goodbye [=---=] my penis
25* The fact that the game's ''tutorial'' has difficulty settings is worth a chuckle, especially when you learn the only difference between the three is that the hard version has a ton of random arrows tacked on at the end.
26* Some facial expressions the characters make when holding a note are somewhat wacky. Daddy Dearest's left animation makes him do a disgusted expression, and Skid and Pump's down and left animation makes them make a really exaggerated O with their mouths. Monster's rather [[BodyHorror uncanny]] face also looks fairly silly whenever doing his down or up animations. Boyfriend's face whenever he fails a note has been [[FountainOfMemes a source of memes]] ever since the start of the game's popularity, and on a smaller scale, Pico's [[DummiedOut unused]] fail sprites received the same treatment.
27* In Week 2:
28** The mere fact that Boyfriend and Girlfriend are [[FearOfThunder afraid of thunder]], but [[SkewedPriorities not of a horrific monster whose two song both involve murdering and eating either Boyfriend or Girlfriend]].
29** Even though Boyfriend only speaks in beeps and boops, at the very end of "Monster", Monster's last line is "ooOOooh...yum...", and when Boyfriend sings that part back, the notes that would go in place for the "yum" sound remarkably similar to "Ew", [[FearlessFool as if Boyfriend has the nerve]] to [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu mock Monster.]]
30* Week 4 involves Boyfriend and Mommy Mearest dueling on top of a speeding limo, while the backup dancers are enthusiastically dancing on another speeding limo in the background. Over-the-top doesn't even ''begin'' to describe it.
31* In Week 5:
32** Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest hijack a mall during Christmas time, complete with kicking the MallSanta out of his chair. Daddy Dearest keeps him around ''by [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse holding him at gunpoint]]'' with a comically large pistol.
33** The competition between Girlfriend's parents and Boyfriend attracts a ''huge'' crowd, all of whom are more interested in bopping to the beat than actually dealing with the hostage situation. Even the mall Santa, despite nervously staring into the barrel of Daddy Dearest's gun, is also bopping along somehow.
34** According to [[WordOfGod Phantom Arcade]], the mall Santa had a wide-eyed face not because he was staring at Daddy's Dearest's gun, but because he was staring at [[EatingTheEyeCandy Mommy Mearest's breasts]].
35** Monster's back for "Winter Horrorland", and it seems his LaughablyEvil nature is even more in earnest now, excitedly singing about cooking Boyfriend in various over-the-top ways!
36* In Week 7:
37** Boyfriend's very first and only vocalization in the opening cutscene is worth a chuckle: What really sells it is that not only does Sergeant John Captain roll with it like that's a normal way to respond to a question, but considering that BF ''can'' speak English but chooses not to, one can only assume that that's how ''every'' conversation with BF plays out.
38---> '''Tankman:''' Well, well, well. What have we got here?\
39''(pan to BF, [[{{Beat}} long beat]].)''\
40'''Boyfriend:''' Beep!
41** During certain moments of the song "Ugh", Sergeant John Captain lets out an actual ugh several times. Whenever he does so, he gives a different facial expression unique to that note. What's especially funny is that while he "ughs" those moments, the Boyfriend sings them normally.
42** Assuming that one of the Tankmen aiming their guns at Girlfriend was indeed Steve, then he continues to be the resident ButtMonkey of ''WebAnimation/{{Tankmen}}'' ever since the [[GroinAttack infamous]] stinger in ''Tankmen Infinity'', this time [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl letting out another hyena-like scream]] when [[OhCrap he realizes he's staring down the barrel of one of Pico's UZIs]] before the latter [[YourHeadAsplode blows his brains out]].
43** Losing during this week not only results in the blue balled skeleton (with Girlfriend's demonic skeleton included this time if losing on Stress), but John also makes a random snark over your failure. Some of them can be a bit silly.
44--->'''Tankman:''' [[SarcasmMode Congratulations, you won!]] That's what I would say if you weren't such a goddamn failure! ''[laughs]''
45---> '''Tankman:''' You gotta press the arrows kid, not slap your keyboard like your blind uncle — what?
46--->'''Tankman:''' I hope you're not some internet streamer screaming like a sociopath right now!

48!!Kickstarter
49* The fact that the hardest difficulty they plan on making is called the [[VulgarHumor 'Erect' difficulty.]]
50* The donation rewards:
51** Pledge 1 dollar and you'll get the devs' heart-felt thanks. Pledge 2 dollars and you'll get their [[UngratefulBastard non-heartfelt thanks.]] The latter was a limited pledge reward, and ''was sold out.''
52** The $1,000 pledge is for an in-game background character - the description mentions the character ''may'' or may not be drawn getting blown up or being devoured by a demon, "but hey, that's life!".
53** As usual with donation pledges, you get better rewards the more you pay while also giving you all the rewards of the lower tiers. But if you pledge $9,999 to ''Friday Night Funkin[='=]'', you'd get a digital wallpaper of "some cool art"...''and nothing else.'' '''Two people backed it up.'''
54** Pledge $10,000 dollars and the devs will call you to tell you that you suck. '''Two people also backed this up.'''
55* Along with the normal stretch goals, there are some humorous joke ones.
56** If they reach 3 million dollars, they'll create a [[MemeAcknowledgement PS1 port]] of the game and sell physical copies, even at a loss.
57** If they reach 4 million dollars, they'll hire an anime studio to create a fully hand-drawn level.
58** If they reach 5 million dollars, they'll remake [[VideoGame/{{Pico}} Pico's School]] and [[MemeAcknowledgement complete Pico's School 2]] and add both in the game.
59** If they reach 10 million dollars, they'll create a 'Nightmare AU'. The description is literally 'hfufihugshigtrk2534trihhureghuguhgrguheirugh????!?1/1/1!!!!!//???/?!!?!'.
60* According to the Kickstarter page, the musician of the game, [=KawaiSprite=], was charged with armed robbery in 2011 and sentenced to 14 years in prison. There, he found a dusty Akai MPC 3000 in the shed of the yard, and after stabbing a fellow inmate over "whatever," he spent 7 years in solitary confinement with nothing but the beat machine. The prototype of the game was released a week after he came out of jail.
61* In the description of the '[[VulgarHumor Erect Difficulty]]' mode stretch goal (basically being a HarderThanHard mode), it claims the face [=KawaiSprite=] made when the idea was first pitched to him -- because that requires him to remix all the tracks, which including the stretch goals meant he'd have to do ''over a hundred'' new songs -- had to be seen to be believed. One of the updates follows up on this mentioning how everyone began to laugh at [=KawaiSprite=] because of the growing possibility of 'Erect Difficulty' becoming a reality [[note]]At the time of the post, the Kickstarter had already reached more than half of the stretch goals only three days into the campaign.[[/note]], and how [=KawaiSprite=] began to cry and locked himself in the bathroom "like a bitch."
62* [[Platform/{{Newgrounds}} Tom Fulp]] is credited as "emotional support," with his description clarifying that he has a penis, though the devs don't know if it's big or small since they've never seen it.
63* The first update posted to the Kickstarter, two days after it went live, was ninjamuffin asking why so many people were giving them so much money, before calling the backers "weird".

65!!Game Files
66* Among the game's images, there is a screenshot of a twitch user's chat message. Why? Well...
67-->'''[=LilGreenFry=]:''' [[ExactWords ADD ME IN THE GAME PLEASE]].
68* Existing in the folder for Week 4 is a lone sprite of one of the background dancers, simply titled "dumb.png".
69* The folder containing the assets for Week 6 is simply called "weeb", with the background elements all being "weeb[Element]". The girls fawning over Senpai are called "[=bgFreaks.png=]".
70* For some reason, Pico's assets are named Pico_FNF_assets'''s'''. A bit of a ''literal'' case of SpellMyNameWithAnS.
71* There is a [[Website/FourChan 4chan]] screencap of a thread where somebody asks people to share their favorite mods that was replied with "Come back after Week 5 releases" by a website Anon. The thread was made right before the Week 5 update went public.
72
73!!Other
74* [[BlatantLies Several sources claim that Friday Night Funkin' is a game for the PS1 released in 2003, from the game's itch.io description to the soundtrack's cover art.]]
75* The creators of the game knew damn well that Mommy Mearest would spawn Rule34 art, so they all but encouraged it with song titles like "[[BlackBraAndPanties Satin Panties]]" and "[[StacysMom M.I.L.F.]]".
76* The first official news about Week 7 was, in its entirety, "[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial it's not tankman]]". They later even went so far as to put fake leaks of "Ritz the Rat", a character from another game Ninjamuffin worked on, to screw with fan speculation before it eventually became more and more obvious that week 7 would, in fact, feature Tankman as the opponent.
77* The official channel's upload of "M.I.L.F" quickly became its most popular, garnering 4.4 million views in three months. The same channel's upload of "Ugh" ''shattered'' that number, gaining '''5 million''' in just ''two weeks''. The funny part: Week 7, which "Ugh" is from, ''hadn't even come out yet.'' [[note]]It premiered on March 10th, 2021, with the update coming a bit over a month later on the 18th of April.[[/note]]
78* WordOfGod confirms that Boyfriend speaks English, but he simply chooses not to, and speaks in beeps and boops instead because he doesn't want to talk to people that he doesn't know.
79* Week 7, upon its release temporarily being Newgrounds exclusive, [[https://twitter.com/Newgrounds/status/1383904661732663308 led to an extremely hyped fanbase causing the Newgrounds site to]] [[DemandOverload break down and be put under maintenance from the sheer overload of visitors]]! Know what's even funnier? The fact that the last time this occurred was when Newgrounds was receiving an influx of artists from [[Platform/{{Tumblr}} Tumblr]] due to that site enacting a NSFW ban in 2018.
80* One of the [[https://fridaynightfunkin.wiki.gg/images/thumb/5/5c/Henchmen%2C_Girlfriend_and_Darnell.jpg/800px-Henchmen%2C_Girlfriend_and_Darnell.jpg covers for the Volume 1 soundtrack]] has a Henchmen buying a stash of booze for Girlfriend, another struggling with a load of snacks in his arms, and a third that has somehow gotten himself stuck in the freezer.
