Awesome / Friday Night Funkin' WITH LYRICS

• General: aside from the expected awesomeness of fighting all these crazy, intimidating opponents with rap battles and winning, this version of Friday Night Funkin' tops it off with many a Badass Boast from The Boyfriend against even the toughest of foes, be them big daddy demons, lemon demons, demon demons, or otherwise non-demonic but still dangerous enemies.
• Despite (apparently) starting off with a Lame Comeback against Senpai, The Boyfriend otherwise isn't shaken by the guy at all and spends the first half of "Roses" hammering into Senpai that even a literal perfect dream boyfriend like him can't hold a candle to a short guy with blue hair and a lot of guts. Not that there's even an indication that The Girlfriend would choose Senpai over The Boyfriend, anyways:
  Senpai: I've got a thousand lines of dialogue to suit your every need, desire and whim!
  Boyfriend: I've got a whole lifetime of dialogue you couldn't ever hear come out of him!
  Senpai: You spent your whole childhood worshipping my physique, and there's still so much more for you to admire!
  Boyfriend: Sure, we've been together for just a couple weeks, but I know this blue hair sets your heart afire!
  Senpai: (clearly getting desperate) Bet it isn't natural! Just filled with cheap hair dye! Can you really be with him when his whole look's a lie!?
  Boyfriend: Even if I dye my hair, it's got its natural sheen! Your entire body is just pixels on a screen!
  Senpai: But those looks are gonna fade when you grow tired, old and gray, while I keep up my serenade until the girlfriend's dying days!
  Boyfriend: When we both grow old together, we won't be in love any less! Time will leave you weathered, fading, disc-rotted and poorly dressed!
  • Even better is how that last line alone gets Senpai to give up and panic about how the wear and tear of physical media gives him as much of an expiration date as anyone else. It's legitimately horrifying from his perspective, sure, but props to The Boyfriend for getting him to squarely put his shiny pixellated foot in his mouth.
• The titular lemon-headed demon of "Monster" traps The Boyfriend and The Girlfriend in a room to eat them, and sings a song about violently doing so. In response, The Boyfriend tells him in no uncertain terms to piss off, get help and get a life, and when that doesn't work, he counters the Monster with threats of his own lemon-based recipes. It's made clear the Monster's taken aback by it despite his claim afterwards that none of The Boyfriend's threats got to him:
  Monster: You're just a little snack… and so is your girlfriend!
  Boyfriend: I'll juice you and make snacks… for me and my girlfriend!
  Monster: (spoken) …Wh-what did you say?
• Hex manages to snag three; one in his original week song, and two in his weekend song.
  • After the events of “Glitcher” with Boyfriend rapping IRIS out of Hex’s body, Hex goes into sleep mode. However, Girlfriend realizes that the time is 10:01 PM, where in the first week Boyfriend promised that Girlfriend will be back home by 10 PM. Boyfriend reacts in fear as Daddy Dearest teleports behind him, ready to take his soul. However, just before he could take Boyfriend’s soul, Hex wakes up from his sleep mode, stretching so much that he knocks out Daddy Dearest, launching him into the sky before he crashes back down onto the basketball court. If Hex wasn’t such a nice guy that he wanted to apologize to Daddy Dearest for this incident, he probably would have gotten away with it.
  • During “Cooling”, after getting in debt with Daddy Dearest by buying all his leftover merchandise, he and Boyfriend managed to sell them all by Hex telling the crowd his story and Boyfriend encouraging the crowd to help Hex by buying all the Daddy Dearest merchandise Hex bought. Daddy Dearest, thinking it was a tribute song for him, declared Hex the winner.
  • Finally, after “Detected”, after wishing he could cry due to him getting a contract from Daddy Dearest and having the crowd love him, Daddy Dearest offers Hex a 99 cent Daddy Dearest handkerchief. Hex’s response? Dropping his friendly demeanor, grabbing Daddy Dearest, and telling him that he is never going to buy anything from him again. Bonus points, look at Daddy Dearest’s face. He’s actually scared of Hex. Hex not only managed to scare Daddy Dearest, but got away with it. One must think that Daddy Dearest’s enemies like Tabi are looking on their TV screens and laughing.
• From "Mid-Fight Masses":
  • From "Zavodilla", Ruv attempts to put The Boyfriend into a panic through exposing his previous attempt to get the church to banish Daddy Dearest from his life. Boyfriend, however, fights off the blackmail and turns it right back on him with his relationship with Sarvente, getting him to back down and almost direct him to the bathroom.
  • The climax of the story (just before "Gospel") begins with Sarvente claiming to The Boyfriend that The Girlfriend will turn him to sin and wish to keep his soul for herself (which will thus forbid him from entering heaven), hence her desire to enter his soul into heaven herself. On the other hand, she also proceeds to respond to Girlfriend's decision to call for help by threatening her with violence, which appropriately pisses off Boyfriend. Before the final rap battle begins, Sarvente's ultimatum is that she'll only send Boyfriend's soul to heaven if he loses the battle (since he has to give it up willingly), and BF accepts it for the sake of the one he loves, leading to this great line:
    The Boyfriend: Don't have much of a choice, do I? I mean, my life isn't really worth living without The Girlfriend in it. So if this is what it takes to keep her safe… I might not be a demon… but I'm gonna give you hell!
• Boyfriend manages not to blueball during "run", probably the codifier for Unwinnable Joke Levels in Friday Night Funkin', despite Bob's best attempts to end him with note spam. Even now, Whitty's secret technique (minus the Spontaneous Human Combustion) is still coming in handy!
• A villainous one in Too Slow WITH LYRICS; Sonic.exe manages to effortlessly No-Sell Girlfriend's attempt to fight back (unlike in the original mod, where Girlfriend was the one no-selling .exe) and even taunts her by calling her a lesser demon. Adaptational Badass indeed.
  • On the other side, Sonic.EXE Meets Pico has the demon meet up and try to kill Pico...only for the ginger-haired teen to just shoot him with his Uzi. He may have demonic powers that trump Girlfriend's own powers, but Pico proves that he can still effortlessly prove his worth over a so-called God (granted, Sonic.EXE does say that his title of God was just a figurative one, but still), even threatening to kill him if he doesn't help Pico escape, to which Sonic.EXE actually agrees to do, and only didn't due to accidentally hurting himself even further when trying to get Pico's bullet out.
• Girlfriend saving Boyfriend in Defeat and Finale WITH LYRICS by using her gravity powers and applying so much pressure that Black was about to die yet has to give Girlfriend a "The Reason You Suck" Speech about keeping Boyfriend in the dark for so long about what he's doing just to survive. However, Girlfriend responds in kind by tricking Black into handing his soul over to her, owning it, and forbidding Black from entering his body ever again, even melting his body by applying too much pressure on it and leaving him trapped in the defeat void without a way to ever get back. Hearing the smug and threatening Black get reduced to pleading and being scared of Girlfriend after everything he did to Boyfriend (alongside the many other resets where he killed him), not only did he deserve this tenfold, it also was definitely a satisfying moment to see.
  • Props should be given to Boyfriend himself, as both Defeat and Finale in their original mod are songs where failure is a One-Hit Kill, and the same rules apply here. Granted Boyfriend usually perfects all songs he does WLYR in canon, but here his life is on the line, and he knows this, especially since he's told Black that killing him inside the Defeat void might make his death permanent.
  • As for Finale itself, Boyfriend's triumphant solo near the end is just chill-inducing, and he goes throughout it going from moods of "I don't know why I agreed to this" to "I'm fighting to the end if it's the last thing I do". The final line is the icing on the cake, however, as both parties are in absolute disbelief, though Boyfriend's line could even be seen as a massive Badass Boast.
    The Boyfriend: Did I just FC this whole funkin' hardcore song you wrote?
    Black: Did you just FC this whole funkin' hardcore song I wrote?!
