Theres also a little funny detail while playing the song Blazin. Pico faked a punch at Darnell, who flinched, then Pico teases him for flinching lol

Cool

[@AmenKing1999]

1:28 So legit voice actors for both of them? IDK why I thought it was Kawai Sprite using a voice effect again like he did with Girlfriend and Pico.

[@Toppatlol]

i think gf has a VA

[@AmenKing1999]

@@Toppatlol No it's really just Kawai Sprite using voice pitch like he does with Boyfriend and Daddy Dearest.

Here is another a little secret when 5:26 you can see Pico flipping us off

Phantom said that NeNe would absolutely bully the hell out of you if you were gay but then walks into a room with a woman naked.

[@yummycrispytoenails0602]

i guess nene is hypocritically gay lmao

[@Isaac_646]

I really like their change of Nene. She got cleaned up, and is actually adorably scary. Shes cute as a friend, but if youre her target she'll end up being pretty scary.

[@DeanSpeedruns]

4:23 your definitly not the only one who hears that

[@SCP--gx1fr]

It's actually very similiar

[@eljaminlatour6633]

Also, in the original Pico's School series, Nene is Asian, due to this she dons black hair and yellow skin. Later on, her skin is changed because of how touchy it can be to certain people.

[@kimiiiiiiiiii]

Nene is still asian, it's just the color skin that have changed

[@JustAnAverageGuy5731]

"certain people" (snowflakes)

[@moonplume]

3:06 I always thought of that being him imagining what could happen if he gets caught by nene and darnell

[@sent6620]

5:01 in one of the original games darnell asks nene out but she rejects him, leading him to blowing up the whole school so thats probably why they dont like each other

[@ArrowUpEight]

3:05 well artists are going to get busy now 😂

[@Antonwalnuts]

0:19 no. nene’s interactive suicide came out in march of 1999. pico school came out in july of that same year.

[@steelwolf3527]

[@Pist4chw]

Cum (classic)

[@mariedufore8795]

Nene was thought to be homophobic in the FNF universe but Phantom Arcade confirmed that she was not homophobic (thank god)

[@nehemiah7012]

They got that from the hd mod and thought it was true

[@mariedufore8795]

Exactly

[@manuelvasconcelos8982]

I don't know if it's just me but Phantomarcade also have confirmed that nene is a closet lesbian

[@veenatamara4543]

Thank god for that I like her a lot and I’d hate if she was homophobic

[@HopefullyUnknown]

nene does NOT hate gay people 👽

[@MeemFolder]

2:53 Actually, BF stills holds the record for having the most game over animations Currently, BF has 4 ( Default, Pixel, Default w/ GF, and a newly added rare death animation, called fake death or something like that in the files ), while Pico has 3

[@user-rx2jw1kk3o]

Not different styles, different animations. Etc

[@PiotrKuligowski]

4:48 It did, the shortest time between updates.

[@ostinsonsaget911]

Fnf is back baby

[@imasink]

i hope they bring cassandra's gang, it would be really cool seeing Daddy Dearest contracting cassandra's gang because pico and his friends failed killing boyfriend

[@skyworldyt6004]

nah were so BLACK

[@CyrusShameli]

This trio is iconic

[@totallynotastro]

5:56 they had some serious balls to name it that☠️

[@goofericious-goober]

i swear the amount of respect for source material that goes into this game is so fucking good

[@THEcatinamicrowave]

Fun fact: the "We've been in business since 1999" could also be a reference to JSchlatt as he is often haunted by 9/11 and __________________________ in 1999. Probably not, but that's at least how I interpreted that easter egg.

[@MrSplashMan0]

YES THE NEW EDITS LOOK INCREDIBLE!!!

[@FossyPickles]

talkin smack actually is a remix of the original version used in the 99’ pico build rather than the version by thatjohnnyguy

[@qoben38]

5:18 i dont think IQ really has something to do with education, and nene's iq is just slightly higher than pico's. pico's is also above average and counted as genius. (darnell is supergenius though lmao)

[@MilkyWayMarsBar]

As someone who first played Pico's School, Darnell Plays With Fire, Nene's Interactive su!cide, Pico VS Bear, Pico VS Uberkids, and the DX version of VS Bear, (I'm 16 now, and the only reason why I found out about Pico's School was because I played FNF when I was 13 in 2020, and i found out about him), I noticed most of these details. Not the A-Bot one though. Nice to see all these references though!!!

[@retrobat1631]

The NewGrounds office is also Boyfriends house. So, week 3 takes place on BF's house.

[@Commander-Spiff-Extras]

meaning Pico was hunting boyfriend down ,and BF wasnt the one trying to find someone to rap.

[@AlmarAZL9S]

Thanks for the information! 1:33 I really was wondering who was behind the amplifier with the eyes looking at who turn it was. No one else seemed to know when I asked.

[@panromanticpirate]

Doesn’t BF Have The Most Death Animations?? His Normal One, His Week 6 One, His Stress One, His Fake Out One, And The Gitaroo Man One.

[@netheriteingot6878]

Damn 💀

[@JoelCs4]

true

[@user-yx3pi6qf4v]

fakeout and gitaroo man are mods tho

[@panromanticpirate]

@@user-yx3pi6qf4v No? They Are In The Base Game. Fake Out Has A 1/4024 Chance And The Gitaroo Man Easter Egg Is In The Base Game. Even If The Fake Out Is Broken That Still Gives BF More.

[@Stickthecoolguy23]

The fakeoutone wasn’t used and that would mean no one has the most cutscenes.

[@PiereLovesRed7316]

Fun fact: Chase! has a Legimotif of the Henry Stickmin OST Drum & Chase

[@aleksandrsoskalns517]

We are so back this the comeback fnf 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

[@imspoilerina9228]

Imo I feel like the Pico misspelling friends bc of the school being destroyed by Cassandra was also a mistake on PA’s start bc right after Pico kills Cassandra, he could be seen being in class once again but meh

[@welogayguy]

Extra fact: in the sketch of cutscene 1 pico was blushing when pico saw boyfriend in the review part of the cutscene. Wonder why it got scrapped

[@sillycookie]

I know the funkin devs straight up say that Pico and BF are exes and it's very much hinted at in-game (the instrumental in the cutscene where Pico thinks about BF is literally called "Gay" XD) but I kinda wished they left that in, because people are still in denial about it.

[@Itariatan]

I think it's cause it'd be too obvious. Maybe they wanna wait until they tell Pico's backstory properly to show that sort of thing. Or maybe it just got lost in translation lol

[@sylodui]

​@Itariatan I don't think characters like pico are going to be prevalent after the next week

[@Itariatan]

@@sylodui Are you kidding? They obviously are gonna come back. Pico and the others are Newgrounds mascots and there's the set up of nene as a possible antagonist. Also Phantom arcade has hinted that there's still more to Pico and Bfs relationship that can be explored

[@sylodui]

@Itariatan phantom stated in a live stream that the pico gang where the last chunk of human characters squeezed in before they changed their focus to monsters and demons

[@terrance6814]

Nene no longer has herpes, she's good to go boys.

[@Im_garbage128]

0:01 didn't know pick had jacked abs.

[@halasulimana6530]

oh my!! Your editing has greatly improved from the previous video, and I'm loving it. It's really cool. + we missed your videos so much!

[@Spare-Loss]

2:54 but bf has 4; the classic, the pixile art one, the week 7 game over with girlfriend, and he now has another where he thinks he's going to get blue balled but doesn't before dieing in his usual way Edit: I forgot about the guitaru man one

[@acehasgreed]

Love the new editing style

[@SuperSpidervgaming]

Naahhh this remix hits hard 4:24 to 4:28 ?!?!?!

So happy to see u upload keep up the amazing work :)♥️♥️♥️♥️

Why does man have to have such 🔥 intros

[@Vexetharius]

I like how the trio gives me the vibe of people I see in the toilet causing mischief

[@sirborkyes]

completely stupid theory at 6:00 : the FNF crew is actually making a reference to jschlatt, for what he did in '99 and how many 9-11 jokes are made by his viewers

[@okami360]

Aye I'm early! Hi! I'm so excited to be here early! Also I'm so happy to see this video I've been dying to know more about Darnell and Nene

2:53 but boyfriend has 4

[@user-sm9bk6rw3p]

What are the other 2

[@sourcingaround]

@@user-sm9bk6rw3pboyfriend has the normal one, the 8-bit one, the girlfriend one and the fake-out one

[@geezerton1404]

I do like these characters and seeing the whole gang finally together in the real fnf and not a mod was very cool and i did play the original Picos school when i saw week 3 and realized that newgrounds was always around me even though i never knew

[@ULTRA-469]

When I saw the final fight, I was thinking, “that looks like the short scuffle at the end of the movie” ngl that scene is so memorable to me I can recognize it in this art style 💀

[@Dfortblox]

I have a feeling that every 7 weeks, we are gonna get a weekend week, since a week is 7 days long and the last week to base game (before weekend 1) was week 7.

[@cjoforever8774]

Good theory

[@HopefullyUnknown]

weekend week 🙂

[@captainblu3028]

Well i learned quite allot with this 10 things about darnell and nene so thank you bolian 🧡

[@evanlim9098]

I hope FNF devs don’t make this comeback short-lived, because it seems like literally everyone is super hyped about the game finally getting updated. Although I don’t think they’re planning to halt production for 3 years again, I do think that the new update might take a while, and we should all just be patient in the meantime…

[@cinnamonrolIs]

from this day on i owe you everything on my old days on friday night funkin for all the mods lore and fun you have given i have nothing to offer you but my gratitude thank you for it all goodbye

[@naterskater12]

We finally back to base Funkin facts!

[@lamarfll]

Something not brought up here about the "Talkin' Smack" track, there is actually 2 versions of Pico's School, as originally the game used copyrighted music, the first release actually used Hive's Ultrasonic Sound track for those moments. Its very obvious when listening to FNF's version of Talkin' Smack that its actually based on the original track used in Pico's School, instead of the new track it was replaced with (which in itself is clearly made to be a legally legally distinct take on that original track as well).

[@tabonine]

I love your content.

[@idiotixofficial283]

Love The Video, Also You Should Cover Vs Gorefield Or 17Bucks

[@Stapleboar0610]

Am I the only one who thought this would be at Pico’s School, and it take place before everything?

[@AnimationSonicPlushChannel]

Yes

[@chickentenders7075]

I knew their fight was a gurren Laggan reference

[@KhaosRanger]

Also the 911 store could be a reference to the pico 2 but idk if it’s official or not

[@KhaosRanger]

The pico 2 not the 911 store because there was a 911 records

[@cindysweetss]

I think the song that plays on "Darnell Plays With Fire" sounds a lot like Build it up - Tear it down by Fatboy Slim.

[@bananaoatmeal]

so cool!!

[@JoelCs4]

OMG bro uploaded after three years fact 11: this a reference to the three year long wait till the new update. And although i think this is a guess the "bro" in the comment could be a reference to the song bro which got leaked with the Darnell and Nene assets.

[@TheEverythingEnthuiast]

Nene's knife throw in the cut scene could be a reference to one of Dio's Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Heritage For The Future supers, where he throws a ton of knives

[@Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh827]
