Click here to return to the main page for Rebecca Black's "Friday".
- Alternative Character Interpretation: Is the rapper under the impression that he's making sexual innuendos when in reality he's just singing the same insipid lyrics?
- Awesome Music:
- Bob Dylan makes everything better.
- The Walken Version.
- You have to admit Colbert was awesome in this version.
- The Death Metal version is awesome and pretty funny, given the Lyrical Dissonance.
- Glee's take on the song has actually garnered positive reception.
- This Harry Potter version is loved by everyone!
- Making the tone Darker and Edgier actually turns the weird lyrics into a song about depression.
- Bob Dylan makes everything better.
- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The appearance of some random black guy rapping about school buses is the most obvious example.
- Bile Fascination: More than likely the reason anyone listened to it for the first time.
- Broken Base: EVERYWHERE ON THE INTERNET. This Very Wiki included has been divided on how to classify the song. While some consider it So Bad, It's Good, others have decried it the worst song in existence. The only thing everyone is in agreement with is that this song has quite inexplicably gone viral.
- Critical Backlash: When something's proclaimed the "worst song ever", there will inevitably be people who disagree. Just about everyone agrees the song genuinely is bad, what people dispute is the claims of it being brain-meltingly awful.
- Ensemble Dark Horse:
- Benni Cinkle, aka "That girl in pink who danced awkwardly in Rebecca Black's Friday" (or just "That Girl in Pink"). She has her own Facebook fan page. She even posted a FAQ video on Youtube. Recently, she had her own music video, "Can You See Me Now".
- The rapper, 'Pato' Patrice Wilson, has quite the following.
- That girl on the left side of Rebecca Black who apparently isn't her friend.
- Benni Cinkle, aka "That girl in pink who danced awkwardly in Rebecca Black's Friday" (or just "That Girl in Pink"). She has her own Facebook fan
- Epileptic Trees: According to some 4channer, the song is about the Kennedy assassination.
- Heartwarming Moments: Rebecca and her friend taking the comments in stride and still saying that despite the awkwardness of the song and video, they had fun (instead of backtracking and denouncing the video). Also, now that she's profited from the song, she plans to donate the proceeds to Japan and her school.
- Surprisingly, ARK Music Factory could get one as well. Despite what it looks like, they just want to help their clients make music videos, and felt badly when Rebecca began receiving bad publicity.
- Lady Gaga unironically saying that she thought that Rebecca Black was a genius in an interview. She was so excited when she found out.
- She Really Can Sing: Black's acoustic version of the song proves that she actually can sing, and she isn't bad at it. The video has an obscene amount of dislikes because of her involvement.
- Hype Aversion: Hoo boy, did this song ever receive it! This song and Black's follow-up, "My Moment," were meant to be a career vehicle for Black. She was even being touted by radio DJs and YouTube partners as "the next Justin Bieber." (Gee, you would think it was calculated or something...) This song received such levels of unpopularity that none of her songs afterward even made it to the Singles charts.
- Memetic Molester: The rapper for some. Him (apparently) inexplicably following a school bus around has led to a lot of jokes about him being a pedophile.
- Memetic Mutation: Every little bit of the video is probably an in-joke by now somewhere or other, but standouts include the awkward moves of the two◊ girls◊ sitting in the backseat with Black.
- Misblamed: The lyrics and the abusive use of auto-tune were actually done by Ark Music Factory, the company that produced the music video, not Rebecca Black herself.
- Nightmare Fuel:
- The "pencil-sketch flipbook effect" has a tendency to look strange, as well as showing the possibility of causing certain people to have seizures/migraines..
- This parody is a disturbing and odd blend of Nightmare Fuel and Funny Moments.
- No Such Thing as Bad Publicity:
- The song has now reached the top 100 on iTunes.
- It's also been parodied and satirized so much that it's looked upon more humorously than with contempt.
- Serious Business: According to some people, she is apparently the reason why [insert indie band here] is not popular, and deserves to die. As opposed to the indie band being indie?!
- So Bad, It's Good:
- It has millions of views on YouTube for a reason.
- Someone went and made a Big Al cover. Seriously.
- Special Effect Failure:
- The green screening during the driving sequences make the exterior shots in The Room (2003) look like Avatar.
- The "pencil sketches" on the calendar at the start of the video, which are obviously just bad embossing effects.
- When the three girls are sitting up in the back of the moving car at night, their hair isn't blowing.
- There's the poorly photoshopped Bus sign near the start.
- Surprisingly Improved Sequel: Rebecca's more recent song, "My Moment", is significantly better than "Friday". Thus far, the like-to-dislike ratio is much less severe than Friday's was.
- Unintentional Uncanny Valley: The "pencil effect" used at certain points in the song makes Rebecca look unsettling. Probably because of how the angles give insane detail to the dimples around her mouth and the imperfections on her skin, making her look like a 65 year-old woman with a face loaded with Botox.
Get back to Friday before Saturday can get you.
