10 Things About Nene and Darnell! (Friday Night Funkin' Facts)

[@itz_geeheemates8505]

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

[@JoelCs4]

bro get hired new fact

[@Muho_is_me]

Thats so funny i never realised it

[@DISKYSOUT]

i thought he did that face because darnell sucked at fighting😭

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.

[@CyrusShameliOfficial]

5:35 This split second animation is amazing

[@DragonTheOneDZA]

"Haha made you flinch!"

[@Eejeww]

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.

[@awesum_squad]

i guess nene is hypocritically gay lmao

[@count-countess8464]

sounds a little gay 🌈🌈

[@jusit6227]

So...she will probably bully Pico for still liking Bf 😂

[@biomseed]

I love how in base funkin the characters all have a legit reason to rap battle eachother. Darnell was just trying to get Pico to run out of ammo so they could then kill him. He knew exactly how much ammo Pico had. He just didn't consider his lighter fluid.

[@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

[@jeanleeh]

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

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.

[@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

[@Chickenbox-k6h]

Not different styles, different animations. Etc

[@joaquimmonteiro9043]

There's also his death animation in the BF mix and High Erect, where his sprites change tones.

[@NoodleDev]

BABE WAKE UP DARKNEBOLIAN UPLOADED!

[@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…

[@RumyXR]

This is genius to put the transition of fnf update between facts

[@goofericious-goober]

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

[@MadamBork]

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

[@astraticyt]

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)

[@Antonwalnuts]

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

[@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

[@biomseed]

It's been a long time since Pico's school in funkin and she said she didn't care about them But this would be the perfect way to bring back the goth punks as her new gang

I mean Cassandra HAS been confirmed to be in the game, but I don't think any of the other goth punks have

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

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@imspoilerina9228]

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

[@Demstaquito]

YES THE NEW EDITS LOOK INCREDIBLE!!!

[@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.

[@strikingsarcophagus]

I like how Phantom Arcade showed a lot of love for Pico's School in his adaptation of it without downright demonizing or putting down its more dated aspects like a lot of remakes and reboots tend to do

[@ostinsonsaget911]

[@ArrowUpEight]

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

[@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

5:16 Pico has an IQ of 127 so he's smart as well. I think it's a meta thing, not actually any of them three spelling it

[@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).

[@halasulimana6530]

[@7grandmac]

0:13 Actually, Darnell Plays With Fire and Nene Interactive Suicide both predate Pico’s School. 1:51 For those who are wondering why the visualizer isn’t working for them, it seems that it doesn’t work on every build for one reason or another. At least, that’s what I can gather anyway. 3:07 This one’s just a question from me. Is that supposed to be him thinking about a past run-in, or a hypothetical future one? I assumed it was the latter, but this video seems to present it as the former. 3:38 Nene Interactive Suicide also came out that year
