  • How Silly Billy Saved Friday Night Funkin':
    // Hey everyone!! Sorry for the short hiatus for the past two weeks. I've really been wanting to do a video like this for a long time (video essay), so here we are! A deep dive look into how Yourself from Silly Billy and Hit Single Real was created, how he relates to Boyfriend, Sonic.EXE and how he managed to save Friday Night Funkin and FNF mods from becoming completely irrelevant in the public eye!
    If you guys do enjoy the video, be sure to drop a like and a sub!! Thanks for watching, and hope y'all have a great day!!! :D

    READ ME BEFORE COMMENTING 🗣🗣
    I see some comments talking about how Silly Billy didn’t “save FNF from dying”, which is true. I never said that it saved it from completely dying out.
    Rather, it allowed the game to be pushed out of its irrelevancy and get more people talking about it again as a result. The game was never dead, nor has it ever been “dying”.
    Also, while the Weekend 1 update did also assist in this. I also stated how from the CZcams metrics I observed on multiple videos, tiktoks, tweets, forums, etc; It seemed that Silly Billy was a slight bit more influential in the public eye (to my surprise). Obviously not invalidating Weekend 1 in any way. It still played a major part in saving FNF, as I also said in the video.
    Also also, genuine apologies for forgetting to mention EvilSk8r when talking about the dev team. It kinda just flew over my head when editing, but he def deserves some love so please go support him as well for helping to make this awesome lil game!!!
    Also also also, I was aware that Subterfuge wasn’t made by Churgney, and that he rather just made a lyrical cover of it. Though for some reason I guess I just skipped the “with lyrics” part in my mind when writing the script??? Not sure tbh lmao, but thank you all for the comments who pointed that out.
    Also also also also, I didn’t include the “Eye to Eye” version of Yourself due to the fact that he seemed to deviate a lot from the original two versions and seemed to be more of its own thing. Especially design wise, taking a completely different approach than Divide and Doorknob.
    Lastly, I did not “forget” about Car or Garn47. Neither of them were the topic of the video, and honestly could have their own video dedicated to them lmao. This video is purely about Silly Billy as a song and the character of Yourself.
    Of course, I respect any and all feedback, really I do!! It is my first time making a video essay after all. But please, watch the video and actually listen to what is said before criticizing me tho 😭😭
    Thanks, and hope y'all enjoy the video!! ♥

      Horror mods based on already existing ip are getting as stale as creepypastas if I have to be honest. No matter how good they are, I just can't see why some of them have entire cult followings whatsoever. Silly Billy and the new wave of originals are such a breath of fresh air.

      @alivelake69 Před 10 dny

      @@interceptionbug4166 Sure, you could say that. My view still doesn’t change though, though it’s probably because I find the original the mods are based off of bland and dull since I’m from the era of the golden age of creepypastas and my brain is just tired of it, completely.
      I genuinely cannot find anything fascinating about them, especially creepypastas around games with the sole exception of that one Godzilla game.

    Very good Video! I especially like that you talked about the creppypasta-mods overshadowing other great mods. As a huge Deltarune/Undertale fan, mods like Seek's cool Deltarune mod was one of those mods I wish had gotten a little more attention from the community overall (relativ to the then popular ones) as well as some other, more niche mods I personally really enjoyed playing. One of these is the Friday Night Fluffin' mod, which has such a unique art style from many other mods and features whole SFM-animated cutscenes between songs/weeks as well as a whole ass ARG (which im pretty sure I'm one of the few people to actually have done, couldn't find anything about it online lol). This is one of the mods I wish had gotten more attention from more people.

    Kinda crazy how Garn47 wasn't mentioned at all throughout this video. Though I guess it's not really related to FnF anymore it's still attached to the Hit Single mod and has absolutely blown up, especially with the official Twitter account. It alone has spawned it's own fandom and is getting updated separately from Hit Single I believe.

    As someone who wasn't that into FNF to begin with, Silly Billy hit me really hard the first time I saw it. Everything about that track, especially the solo, showed that it was made by people who **LOVE** Friday Night Funkin', a game which itself was made by people who *love* Newgrounds. There's *so much story* behind the song, both in the fiction of the mod and in real life, and it all came out in a single relatively brief moment of passion. It was truly awe-inspiring.

    Silly Billy is peak FNF and I don't think there will ever be another song or mod that can top it.
    Silly Billy *PERFECTLY* encapsulates everything we love about FNF and the mods around it.
    The charting is fun, the animations and art are breathtaking, the music slaps, and the story behind the characters canonically and irl is full of grief and sadness, it's perfect. Silly Billy takes the overused EXE/faker concept and turns it on its head. Yourself isn't some alien or demon or false god, this is Boyfriend. You're fighting Yourself, literally speaking. The grief of losing his Girlfriend made him go insane, and that is reflected in the real world with the loss of Divide still stinging our hearts and minds. And the lyrics only help to push the feelings of pain and grief and suffering, beyond just some song of beeps and boops. That sections still gives me chills, and it's only made better with the god-tier animation.
    Silly Billy is and always will be, the PERFECT Friday Night Funkin track.
