This is how Boyfriend canonically talks....
"Gettin' funny on a Friday night, yeah!"
Being 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 Friday Night Funkin'.
Beware of unmarked spoilers!
Game:
- The title screen has a Couch Gag where the third opening line changes every time you boot up the game. Most of them are lowercase and outright nonsensical. Highlights include:better than geometry dash --- fight me robtop
album of the year --- chuckie finster
his name isn't keith --- dumb eggy lol
his name isnt evan --- silly tiktok
too overexposed --- newgrounds can't handle usnote
updates on friday --- on time every time
Pico funny --- Pico funny
yooooooooooo --- yooooooooo
goodbye --- my penis - 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.
- 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 uncanny face also looks fairly silly whenever doing his down or up animations. Boyfriend's face whenever he fails a note has been a source of memes ever since the start of the game's popularity, and on a smaller scale, Pico's unused fail sprites received the same treatment.
- In Week 2:
- The mere fact that Boyfriend and Girlfriend are afraid of thunder, but not of a horrific monster whose two song both involve murdering and eating either Boyfriend or Girlfriend.
- 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", as if Boyfriend has the nerve to mock Monster.
- 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.
- In Week 5:
- Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest hijack a mall during Christmas time, complete with kicking the Mall Santa out of his chair. Daddy Dearest keeps him around by holding him at gunpoint with a comically large pistol.
- 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.
- According to 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 Mommy Mearest's breasts.
- Monster's back for "Winter Horrorland", and it seems his Laughably Evil nature is even more in earnest now, excitedly singing about cooking Boyfriend in various over-the-top ways!
- In Week 7:
- 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.
- 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.
- Assuming that one of the Tankmen aiming their guns at Girlfriend was indeed Steve, then he continues to be the resident Butt-Monkey of Tankmen ever since the infamous stinger in Tankmen Infinity, this time letting out another hyena-like scream when he realizes he's staring down the barrel of one of Pico's UZIs before the latter blows his brains out.
- 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.Tankman: Congratulations, you won! That's what I would say if you weren't such a goddamn failure! [laughs]Tankman: You gotta press the arrows kid, not slap your keyboard like your blind uncle — what?Tankman: I hope you're not some internet streamer screaming like a sociopath right now!
- The Weekend:
- The intro cutscene shows Pico casually eating a burger and drinking soda only for him to do a Spit Take when he notices Nene. As he's hiding behind a wall, he recalls how he and his friends made a deal with Daddy Dearest that they'll get paid if Boyfriend is killed, but since Pico spared Boyfriend in Week 3 and saved him in Week 7, he's afraid that Nene and Darnell will stab his cock off.
- Straight after this, he readies his gun to get at Nene with... then immediately panics seeing Nene's reflection in it and just resorts to fleeing after the attack.
- This is made funnier by a Freeze-Frame Bonus seen right before Nene starts attacking, with Pico looking in confusion as to just WHY his own reflection seems to be in a panic about what's coming up.
- At the end of the weekend, after Pico and Darnell have made amends, the two start walking off together like best buds... only to collapse to the floor unceremoniously as a result of the wounds they sustained in the prior fist fight.
- Following everything that just happened, a small picture of Darnell and Pico smiling with each other, with the text saying "Friends Again!" appears. While this would be heartwarming usually (and it very much is!), it should be noted that "Friends" is spelt incorrectly as "Freinds". We don't know if it's intentional or not, but it is hilarious.
