How old is the guy in Friday Night Funkin?

Boyfriend, alternatively referred to as The Boyfriend, is the protagonist of Friday Night Funkin'. His main goal is to gain approval to date Girlfriend, but he must sing off against her evil ex-rockstar father, Daddy Dearest, as well as the many other characters that stand in his way.

Appearance

Boyfriend is a young, light-skinned man with spiky cyan hair and a confident expression. He wears a magenta-white T-shirt with a red prohibition sign, baggy dark blue pants, pink-red sneakers with magenta-white shoelaces and soles as well as black dots on the quarters, and a backward pink-red cap with a dark blue brim. He holds a bluish gray microphone in his right hand while keeping his left hand in his pocket. He is drawn in a chibi style, giving the impression that he is very small and/or disproportionate. His icons depict only his head in blue without a mouth, and the old one represents a simpler design, having a yellow-green color with light blue pupils and an open smile, while the unused version is a fusion of both, having a simple design, blue color, an expression that resembles Angry Faic and a backward red cap. The unused winning icon also has sunglasses

During Week 4, his hair gets blown around as a result of standing on a moving car.

During Week 5, he wears a red parka with white fur, light blue pants and light brown snow boots, to suit the Christmas theme.

During Week 6 and as the opponent of the unused song Test, his regular appearance is brightened and rendered in pixel art style. He also moves his mic differently.

During the last track of Week 7, he holds Girlfriend up by the waist with his left hand.

Personality

Boyfriend is portrayed as a young, overzealous rapper with a love for music, donuts[1] and his girlfriend. He loves to sing and show off his skills, resulting in his confident and cocky character. He is very determined and persistent on reaching his goals and won't let anyone get in the way of his success, even when threatened with death.

Boyfriend is implied to be clingy, as he is never seen without Girlfriend by his side. He is also very unintelligent, which, when mixed with his overconfidence, results in him being essentially fearless.[2] This is demonstrated during both Monster and Winter Horrorland, where he does not appear to be afraid despite Monster's constant threatening of him and Girlfriend. Despite this, he has street smarts as he knows how to heal people.[3]

Boyfriend has been diagnosed with ADHD and autism.[4] Oftentimes, he will simply beep at strangers instead of talking, although he often does communicate verbally with those whom he is close with. He is also a creative individual, which is demonstrated by his talents as a freestyle rapper. Furthermore, he is never found without his red cap.

Boyfriend seems quite willing to do immoral things. From tricking children watching YouTube videos on iPads for profit,[5] getting as much free food as possible from McDonald's while holding the store hostage, hogging up drive-throughs[6] and vandalizing PlayPlaces,[7] Boyfriend does not appear to care if the things he does are wrong as long as he can get what he wants. In addition, he appears to be somewhat destructive and influenced by anger, as whenever his phones fail to work properly, his first instinct is to destroy them in bizarre and extreme ways.[8][9]

Relationships

Parents

Boyfriend's parents seem to be willing to make sacrifices for him, as they floated him the entry fees for public college. However, based on the fact that Boyfriend simply stopped showing up to class so he could instead read comics in the library all day,[10] he may not be very interested in or appreciative of the things that his parents want or do for him.

Ritz The Rat

Ritz The Rat is Boyfriend's brother. The two of them both enjoy singing and rapping. In art by MKMaffo, the two are depicted as the best of friends,[11] though the canonicity of the art is debatable.

Girlfriend

Girlfriend is Boyfriend's partner. The two love each other very much and are never apart. Boyfriend is determined to do whatever he can to stay with Girlfriend and protect her, including by singing off against her parents and others. Their closeness is shown when Boyfriend happily catches Girlfriend and receives a hug from her during the cutscene for Stress thanks to true love.

Daddy Dearest

Daddy Dearest hates Boyfriend for dating Girlfriend and wants him dead, as he often tries to kill him when the couple are trying to enjoy spending time together. Even though Daddy Dearest is an evil demon, Boyfriend is not afraid to face off against him in rap battles in order to be allowed to date his daughter. Despite his hatred for Boyfriend, Daddy Dearest compliments his singing skills in unused cutscene dialogue for Fresh.

Pico

Pico and Boyfriend used to date, though little is known about the relationship they had. It is known that the reason for their breakup is "complicated,"[12] and it has been hinted that they sang together in the past, as Pico raps with Boyfriend in Week 3 due to nostalgia and old habits.[13] This implies that Pico misses him in some form.

Pico is loyal to Boyfriend in the present day, betraying his employer Daddy Dearest by sparing Boyfriend after being hired to kill him and saving his life when he was hired to confirm Boyfriend's dead body. Boyfriend appears to be fully comfortable being around Pico and even sings with him happily, but it is otherwise unclear how Boyfriend feels about Pico.

Mommy Mearest

Like Daddy Dearest, Mommy Mearest hates Boyfriend greatly, partaking in the plan to kill Boyfriend by having him fall off a plane[14] and making him sing off against her on top of a moving limousine. Not much else is known about how Mommy Mearest and Boyfriend feel about each other.

Skid and Pump

Boyfriend is friendly with Skid and Pump. When the children arrive at Girlfriend's house while out trick-or-treating, Boyfriend gladly lets them play by singing with them, even though they are trying to get Girlfriend for Monster.

Monster

Although Monster wants to eat Boyfriend, the rapper is not afraid to face off against him in singing battles, even as he constantly makes threats toward Boyfriend and Girlfriend. Thanks to Boyfriend's rapping skills, Monster is easily defeated each time before he can do anything to the couple.

Senpai

Senpai is initially friendly toward Boyfriend, deciding to engage in a serenade between gentlemen to decide who will be able to date Girlfriend. However, after Boyfriend beats him in a rap battle, Senpai gets very angry at him. He threatens to rip Boyfriend's testicles off as soon as he is done letting Girlfriend gargle his own. Despite this, he wants to upstage Boyfriend without violence.[15] Boyfriend doesn't seem to care either way, simply responding to Senpai with beeping noises before both of his songs.

Spirit

Due to Spirit's apparent distorted sense of justice, he believes that it is fair to take Boyfriend and Girlfriend's bodies for himself in order to escape the dating sim game he was trapped in. Even with this threat, Boyfriend remains undeterred, as he confidently rap battles the ghastly soul without saying a word to him beforehand and ultimately wins.

Tankman

Tankman is very rude to Boyfriend and only decided not to kill him on sight because he had a boring day. Though he compliments his performance, he insults Boyfriend about his girlfriend and is very vulgar toward the two. Tankman also does not take losing to Boyfriend twice lightly, as he ultimately decides to order his men to kill the couple. After the soldiers are stopped by Pico, Tankman decides to settle the situation by challenging Boyfriend to one final rap battle, and he compliments Boyfriend once more halfway through Stress.

Darnell

Darnell is one of the people hired by Daddy Dearest to kill Boyfriend. He appears to be very determined to get his job done as he battles Pico to do so.

Nene

Nene is one of the people hired by Daddy Dearest to kill Boyfriend. Like Darnell, she selfishly does whatever she can to get the job done.

Trivia

  • According to PhantomArcade in a Tweet, one of the core inspirations for Friday Night Funkin' is the 1981 anime adaptation of the manga Urusei Yatsura.[16] Boyfriend is presumably based on the series' main character Ataru Moroboshi, who has a powerful girlfriend named Lum, whom Girlfriend is presumably based on in turn. Lum's blue hair also inspired Boyfriend's hair color.
  • ninjamuffin99, PhantomArcade and Kawai Sprite have all stated that Boyfriend's name is simply Boyfriend.
    • An official T-shirt created in collaboration with PKettles and Shark Robot refers to him as Boyfriend.[17]
      • Additionally, there are currently two opening lines in the introduction sequence that disconfirm two names that Boyfriend has been commonly referred to as: "His name isn't Evan, silly TikTok" and "His name isn't Keith, dumb eggy lol."
        • ninjamuffin99 has made a TikTok pleading with people to stop calling him Keith, saying, "His name, his name isn't Keith, it's not Keith. I'm, I'm sick of seeing everyone calling him Keith."[18] Despite this, he has stated on Reddit that people can call Boyfriend whatever they want.[19]
          • He has also confirmed his name to simply be Boyfriend on Reddit.[20]
            • The lyrics "boil 'lil boyfriend," in Winter Horrorland also refer to Boyfriend by name.
  • Boyfriend is his only canonical and official name. However, ninjamuffin99 has intentionally confused the Friday Night Funkin' fandom by spouting out random names on his Twitter and TikTok accounts. There have been several attempts to figure out his name (names in bold have been disconfirmed), including:
    • Keith (on TikTok, has been stated several times to not be his name).
    • Evan (on TikTok, based on misheard lyrics from the song Monster).
    • Luis (on Twitter,[21] named after Luis).
    • Cam (on Twitter, based on ninjamuffin99's real name, Cameron. It was commonly used after becoming the first result when searching for Boyfriend's name on Google).
    • Jack (on TikTok, not disconfirmed so far).
  • Boyfriend is tied with Girlfriend and Spirit for having the least tracks out of any character, having one each.
  • Boyfriend originally had magenta hair instead of cyan blue, revealed in early concept sketches of Boyfriend released by PhantomArcade.[22]
    • Additionally, his shoelaces were originally blue instead of white.
  • Boyfriend has the most unused animations out of any character in Friday Night Funkin'.
  • While Boyfriend's singing voice is provided by Kawai Sprite, the game's composer, Boyfriend's groan after losing a battle was provided by PhantomArcade, the game's main artist and animator.
    • PhantomArcade also confirmed that he will be voicing more sound effects for Boyfriend. Additionally, he stated that Boyfriend's canon voice will probably end up being the one used in Fresh (Boyfriend Remix).[23]
  • Boyfriend makes a cameo appearance in Sr Pelo's animation "Spooky Month - Unwanted Guest" as a background plushie.[24] The Spooky Month series is also where Skid and Pump originate from.
  • At the end of most of his turns in Bopeebo and, as of the 0.2.8 update, his first two turns in Tutorial, Boyfriend will briefly strike a V-sign pose. In the Ludum Dare prototype, this sprite was originally used to fix a bug where Boyfriend would be stuck in the last animation he performed. Although the bug was fixed in the Newgrounds release of the game, the animation was still kept in.
    • Boyfriend has variants of his V-sign pose for Week 4, Week 5 and Week 6, although they all went unused.
  • Like Girlfriend, Boyfriend is afraid of lightning,[25] as shown in Week 2. Whenever lightning strikes, Boyfriend will briefly wince and shudder.
  • In the Game Over screen, Boyfriend is revealed to be slouching his knees, adding to his small appearance.
    • Even when he isn't slouching and when Girlfriend isn't wearing her heels, she is still taller than him.[26]
      • A Reddit comment by PhantomArcade implies that Boyfriend and Girlfriend appear very short as a symbol of their innocence.[27]
  • Boyfriend's original icons in the Ludum Dare prototype and older versions of the Newgrounds demo consisted of a small yellow circle with a yellow cap, blue eyes and a smiling mouth. In the Week 4 update, his icons were replaced with a blue mouthless head that more closely resembles Boyfriend. Pressing "9" during any track will cause Boyfriend's new icons to be replaced with his old ones again.
  • There is a 1 in 1000 chance for the pause menu or Game Over screen of Friday Night Funkin' to change to resemble that of Gitaroo Man, in which Boyfriend's head (drawn by Wandaboy) will appear over a message saying "Replay this game?".
  • Boyfriend's head appears on Roblox as a purchasable hat accessory for the player's avatar.[28]
  • Boyfriend is supposed to represent issues that PhantomArcade had at 19 years old.[29]
    • When PhantomArcade was 19 years old, his partner's father told him to turn off the Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth music that he was listening to because it was "fruity." The father then played AC/DC music on a guitar. PhantomArcade described this as "a story about the unique dynamics within relationships that inspired the game, and why [Boyfriend and Girlfriend] are that age."[30]
  • ninjamuffin99 and PhantomArcade have revealed many facts about Boyfriend on different forms of social media, mostly Reddit and Twitter:
    • The reason why Boyfriend and Girlfriend began dating is not because of their names, but because they thought that they were cute.[31]
    • Boyfriend knows a lot of fingerboard tricks, and it's one of the reasons he won Girlfriend's heart.[32]
    • Boyfriend has a dog who lives at his parents' house, with his mom taking care of the dog.[33]
    • Boyfriend's favorite Newgrounds game is Newgrounds Rumble.[34]
    • Boyfriend loves pepperoni pizza from Domino's.[citation needed]
    • Boyfriend loves donuts the most out of all the Friday Night Funkin' characters.[1]
    • Boyfriend likes Brisk iced tea and milk.[35]
    • Boyfriend's hair is not dyed and is naturally cyan blue.[36]
      • One of Tankman's Game Over quotes pokes fun at this fact, as he questions (and mocks) the nature of his hair color, stating, "I guess your shitty blue hair dye got in your eyes. It's okay, it happens to all of us."
        • PhantomArcade has stated that "Tankman claims his hair is dyed to be a condescending asshole, in reality[,] it's naturally blue."[37]
    • Boyfriend's beeping noises are not a language, but just random sounds he makes.[38]
    • Not much is known about Boyfriend's parents. The only information known about them is that they work in accounting.[39]
      • Boyfriend's parents got him into a public college, paying the entry fees only for him to stop showing up. This subsequently led to him dropping out.[40] During his time at the college, he preferred to read comics all day in the library instead.[10]
    • Ritz The Rat was confirmed to be Boyfriend's brother, with ninjamuffin99 describing this as a Stuart Little situation.[41]
    • Boyfriend is neurodivergent, as he has ADHD and is autistic.[4]
    • Boyfriend likes to listen to Kanye West music.[42]
    • Boyfriend and Girlfriend cannot be hypnotized or mind-controlled into not loving each other. It is practically the only thing that occupies their minds, and they would die without it.[43]
    • Boyfriend doesn't know what Pizzagate is.[44]
    • Boyfriend's favorite animal is a Hominid, not realizing that a Hominid isn't an actual animal.[45]
    • Though his chibi-styled appearance may suggest otherwise, Boyfriend is a powerful and capable fighter.[46]
    • Although Boyfriend reps Newgrounds, he made a YouTube account and got ads enabled on it. Since he hates working part-time jobs, he uploads 3D videos of sex in Roblox to make money on the side. Despite the videos being age-restricted, he profits from the videos based on the views and CPM and uses the money to buy cigarettes.[5] This implies that he likes to smoke.
      • He is shown smoking in an official artwork.
    • Boyfriend likes to go to a Brazilian wax factory that costs exactly 1 dollar. Although they do an awful job and painfully rip all of his pubes off, it's really cheap and he has fun each time he does it.[47]
    • Whenever Boyfriend fails a song and gets "blue-balled," he feels immense pain.[citation needed]
    • When Boyfriend and Girlfriend can't decide if they want to go to Burger King or McDonald's, they play Territory WAR.[citation needed]
    • Boyfriend is irreligious.[48]
    • Boyfriend owns a copy of PaRappa the Rapper 2 that he bought from Goodwill.[49]
    • Boyfriend can easily defeat Darth Vader,[50] but he can't beat Goku.[51]
      • In a situation involving Girlfriend and Boyfriend meeting Darth Vader, he would see Darth Vader coming ominously. Darth Vader would have his lightsaber out, and all of a sudden, Girlfriend would start charging up in the background. Darth Vader would sense an ominous force and would start to get a chill within his suit; he would pull out his lightsaber and make sure he's ready to completely try to take on whatever's about to come at him. Boyfriend would then slam his microphone into the Fisher-Price control panel on his chest, leading to Darth Vader freaking out, coughing and dying. Boyfriend and Girlfriend would then start hopping on his back and beating him up, yanking on his helmet and smacking his bald, crispy head around.[52]
    • Boyfriend uses $100 Android-based monthly card payment phones, such as a Samsung Galaxy. He also gets angry at the poor-quality 3G Wi-Fi and drops the phones from 5-story buildings onto incoming traffic out of frustration.[8] Whenever they crash, he throws them 200 feet off his roof.[9]
      • If he got a better phone, he would accidentally set facial recognition and forget the strange face that he made, failing repeatedly as a result.[53] He would also hold it outside a Greyhound window to film a video, and a gust of wind would knock it out of his hands, with the phone then flying underneath the front tires of an 18-wheeler truck, leading to the truck flipping.[54]
    • If Sonic.exe ever tried to mess with Boyfriend and Girlfriend, he could trap them in a nightmare dimension for all eternity, but if he mentioned there's no McDonald's, they would immediately kill him and escape.[55] If there was a McDonald's, they would presumably stay.[56]
      • If there was a McDonald's but its ice cream machine was broken 24/7, they would be fine with just being given the sweetener milk bags that go in the machine instead.[57]
        • If they were told that there was no Burger King, they might actually prefer the nightmare dimension to reality.[58]
    • When Boyfriend and Girlfriend go to McDonald's, they normally get whatever they can pressure the window clerk to give them for free. They hold the store hostage, stealing Mommy Mearest's limousine and holding up the entire drive-through slot.[6]
      • If the McDonald's were to have no Chicken McNuggets included with the Happy Meal, they would start yanking all the iron bolts and screws out of the PlayPlace.[7]
    • Boyfriend wears his prohibition sign shirt because it looks cool.[59]
      • He also wears it because he is a cool and smooth person with nothing but style.[60]
  • A popular headcanon within the Friday Night Funkin' fandom was that Pico is Boyfriend's ex-boyfriend. This headcanon gathered so much traction that Tom Fulp, the creator of Pico, Tweeted jokingly that "this is official Pico 2 canon,"[61] leading people to believe that it was true. ninjamuffin99 initially said that this was a joke,[62] but later changed his mind and confirmed it was canon.[63]
    • ninjamuffin99 and PhantomArcade have confirmed that Pico and Boyfriend are ex-boyfriends[64] on Reddit,[65] Twitter[66] and Twitch[63] several times.
      • ninjamuffin99 has also confirmed on Twitter that Boyfriend is bisexual.[67]
        • On the 1st of April, 2021, Tom Fulp updated the original Pico's School game for April Fools' Day, ending with Pico revealing to Cassandra that he and Boyfriend are a couple and everyone at his school accepts them. The day after, this version would be released as a separate game set in an alternate timeline called Pico's School: Love Conquers All. As Pico and Boyfriend's relationship was portrayed in a positive light, the game indicated Tom Fulp's approval of the idea of them once having been a couple.
          • According to ninjamuffin99, the reason behind Pico and Boyfriend's breakup is "complicated."[12]
  • It has been noted that Boyfriend's attire, from his red prohibition sign T-shirt, blue pants, and red and white shoes, is strikingly similar to that of a character from a 2009 Flash animation by Newgrounds user Zarla around the 1:52 mark.
    • In a Reddit AMA, PhantomArcade confirmed that the similarities are purely coincidental.[68]
      • Another character resembling Boyfriend appears in an episode of the 1994 animated series Mega Man. The character, named Bobby, wears a backward red cap and a red prohibition sign T-shirt; moreover, the two characters have slightly similar names and personalities.[69]
  • On the 22nd of May, 2022, JohnnyUtah uploaded a piece of artwork depicting a much more muscular and seemingly older Boyfriend next to a surprised Girlfriend.[70] PhantomArcade has confirmed that he will find a way to officially implement it into Friday Night Funkin'.[71]

Notes

  1. In a Tweet made in December 2020 by PhantomArcade, Boyfriend and Girlfriend were stated to be 19 years old. In a Tweet made in February 2021 by PhantomArcade, the two characters were stated to be 20 years old. It is unclear if PhantomArcade was confused in the later Tweet, if the two being 19 years old was retconned, or if Boyfriend and Girlfriend have no specific age and only a range. However, in a live stream PhantomArcade did in April 2022, he stated that Boyfriend and Girlfriend are 19 again. As the two have been stated to be 19 more often than not, the one instance of them being stated to be 20 may have been a mistake.
