Lem: "Oh- Hey there, pretty boy! I didn't expect to see you here of all places... But I'm glad to see you again."
Sen: "Hehe, of course."
Sen: "Hehe, of course."
—Cutscene from "Tutorial"
A Friday Night Funkin' Game Mod made by Dumdust^_^ which started out as a joke that evolved into a full-fledged mod, albeit one that doesn't take itself too seriously. One of the game's playable trio - Sen, Beta, or Alpha - is trying to date his genderfluid "lemonfriend", Lem, when Pump (one of their brothers) challenge him to a singing battle. Unlike Daddy Dearest from the original game, Pump is by no means evil, just mischievous and protective of his little sibling. Even after defeating Pump, however, the protagonist will have to deal with other people who might want to humiliate him, kill him, and/or steal his significant other.
The mod can be downloaded here

Not to be confused with fellow Role Swap AU mod Saturday Night Swappin'.

Friday Night Flippin' provides examples of:
- Adaptational Gender Identity:
- All three of the Senpais are Transgender here, with Beta in particular being non-binary.
- Lem is genderfluid rather than male.
- Adaptational Name Change:
- There are three Senpais now, individually called "Sen", "Beta", and "Alpha".
- Monster is named "Lem".
- Mommy Mearest and Daddy Dearest are named "Mearie" and "Dearie" respectively.
- Adaptation Species Change: Sen, Beta, and Alpha are still human, but they seem to no longer be A.I.s from a video game.
- Adapted Out: Spirit is not present at all, although he does replace the yellow Boyfriend icon seen by pressing 9 in any level.
- Age Lift: Pump and Skid are adults in this game while Mearie and Dearie are just children.
- Blue with Shock: While all three playable characters gain a blue hue upon missing a note, Sen gets a special mention for having his Blush Sticker get replaced with blue overtop of his face not just in his miss poses, but when he flinches from thunder as well as his unused hit and dodge animations, referencing the original Senpai.
- Blush Sticker: Sen has pink blush on his cheeks in the same vein as the vanilla game's Senpai.
- The Cameo: In "Pump'd Up", the crowd has some recognizable characters, most of whom are Friday Night Funkin'-related, including (but not limited to) Beta Boyfriend, Sarvente, and the Hollow Knight.
- Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Pump and Skid are just trying to protect their sibling, Lem, from the Senpai trio, just like how Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest were trying to protect their daughter from Boyfriend, and neither of the protagonists prove any danger to their respective beaus. Lem's brothers are usually just mischievous and mean no actual harm, while Girlfriend's parents are evil and bent on killing Boyfriend.
- Decomposite Character: Two of Senpai's concept designs are turned into separate characters, dubbed "Beta" and "Alpha". Strangely, there is no unique dialogue for each one.
- Expressive Shirt: The heart on Sen's sweater breaks if he misses a note.
- Groin Attack: Played straight with Beta, as he gets red-balled in his game over animation, but subverted with Sen and Alpha, whose bones crack from their hearts breaking.
- Hidden Eyes: Alpha gains a shadow over his eyes if he misses a note.
- Nightmare Face: While they are cute for some monster demon on a set of gut-covered speakers, Lem's facial expression changes to that of the original Monster when lightning strikes in Week 2.
- Promoted to Playable: Aside from the Swap AU aspect, another draw of the mod is that it features a playable Senpai (who is an opponent in the original game) that's chibi-fied like Boyfriend and Girlfriend — three of them, in fact.
- Related in the Adaptation: In the original Friday Night Funkin', Monster tricked Skid and Pump into kidnapping Girlfriend and are not related at all. Here, Skid and Pump are Lem's brothers.
- Role Swap AU: The mod's appeal.
- Senpai is now the player character in place of Boyfriend, rapping people in order to keep dating his s/o. While not present within the demo, Boyfriend has also taken Senpai's place as the main character in a In-Universe video game.
- Monster (Lem) is now the genderfluid significant other of Senpai who hangs out on a blood-and-gut-covered stereo set, though like the canon Monster, they apparently tried to eat Sen when the two first met. Girlfriend is now the monster that tries to kill them, but as the demo ends at the second song of Week 2, she isn't seen.
- Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest are swapped with Pump and Skid, the former being a duo of evil demon children while the latter are Lem's protective older brothers.
- Planned for a future update is Tankman and Pico swapping roles, with Tankman being the mercenary.
- Word of God states the plan is for Ritz and Hank to swap roles once both of them get their own weeks in the vanilla Friday Night Funkin'.
- Rustproof Blood: Lem wears a formerly white sweater that has been stained with so much blood it's turned red. Despite at least some of the blood being old, it's completely red.
- Sore Loser: Beta's game over screen has him toss his microphone at the ground with a clearly angered expression.
- Stupidest Thing I've Ever Heard: Subverted in the cutscene leading up to "Authority".Lem: "Sen you're suggesting that we break into a house."Sen: "yes."Lem: "That probably belongs strangers we have never even met"Sen: "yes."Lem: "Sen That's..."Lem: "the greatest idea you've ever had!"Sen: "Right?"
- X-Ray Vision: Each of the Senpais have a unique animation for their x-rays on the game over screen for when they lose: Sen cries unless you decide to retry the level, Beta throws his microphone towards the ground in a fit of rage, and Alpha loses balance but keeps himself from falling.
