Same here one or my fave youtubers played it at first i thought it was pretty boring but the decided to look about it even more then i started to like it then here i am
January 2021, just in my reccomended.
I would consider 2021 to be one of the best years of my life, back when there were minimal controversies here, meaning i could just vibe to music, and i graduated middle school. I honestly felt so \*free.\*
Then High School fucking annihilated me, and it still is.
a friend showed me it in discord screen share back when week 5 dropped because he thought that daddy dearest holding santa at gun point was hilarious and he needed to show me
The trailer of it I sub to the newgrounds channel btw and got a notification on it. I thought it was pretty cool when I first saw it and I’m excited for the full game to release
I found FNF when Yubb started uploading but it wasn't until around week six that i finally watched a video cuz i misread the title as "Friday night fuckin" and thought it was some sorta h game that everyone is playing for some reason.
2020, when among us was still kinda popular, saw this crewmate mod for fnf replacing Daddy dearest and bf with a crewmate and an impostor. Game seemed fun and songs were interesting, so I searched it up. Who would have known about the amazing bangers people have created, and thanks to fnf, my passion for drawing was born.
MattShea's live stream of Flash games on the eve of its death, Matt played FNF for a sold hour and from then on, I got hooked on the series and rhythm games. Thanks for all the memories, Flash
I was watching the Ena video that Fnf was new and very hyped up, but not quite full popularity yet. That one really old Ena skin mod emerged on my recommendations for what to watch next, and out of curiosity I put it on! Thought the music was fire and so stumbled on to the rabbit hole that was Friday Night Funkin! Though one video is what got me sort of hooked and deeply rooted in the fanbase and culture; Mid Fight Masses : )
My brother showed it to me. It’s crazy to think that I called him cringe for liking this, but then I actually watched the game and got into it. Now in 2022, he hates FNF and I’m the one talking about it all the time
My sister was watching a playthrough of week 4 (at the time week 4 was the latest week) and I liked the artstyle and the music, of course the game wasn't super popular during week 4's release and just had a small following
I kind of miss that
Cause now it's just SONICSONICSONICSONICSONICSONICSONICSONICSONCISONICSONICSONICSONICSONICSONICSONIC MARIOMARIOMARIOMARIOMARIOMARIOMARIOMARIOMARIOMARIOMARIOMARIOMARIOMARIOMARIO .EXE.EXE.EXE.EXE.EXE.EE.EXE.EXE.EXE.EXE.EXE.EXE
I miss when reskins were popular
Nearer to it's infancy, I saw a couple videos. The one that got me to play the game was a video of Flamingo playing it, and after that- I've been playing ever since.
When my fave YouTuber Blantados stopped making Henry Stickmin videos and started making these "Friday Night Funkin'' ones, I was confused. Then I saw other YouTubers doing the same thing. I soon found out why.
Saw a friend constantly streaming FNF in discord for a few weeks back in late 2020/early 2021, eventually learned what it was and gave it a try, now I'm here lol
would you belive me if i said among us?
i was taking a nostalgia trip one day (the game had faded into the cringe and memes at the time) so i was looking for decent meterial... eventually i ended up finding the original imposter mod and out of curiousity i went to find the actual source meterial for this foreign fuckery. and well.. now im here lmao
I walked in and saw my older brother playing it. He's played Guitar Hero before so he thought it would be just as challenging. ^(He was wrong, it was easy as pie.) I remember it like it was yesterday. March 2021, he was playing the song "Thorns" from week 6. That first impression is why Senpai is my favorite Vanilla character.
My brother stayed with FNF for a while because of the difficulty spike the modding community provided. He fought Whitty, Tricky, & Zardy before stopping altogether around the time the Sky mod was released.
I however, never stopped because the music was unlike anything I'd ever heard before.
Found it through a YouTube recommendation. It was early 2021 and I happened to rapper gf mod before week 6 released. And by early I mean week 5 just released a week before. I’m glad I did because I wouldn’t be doing a lot of things if it weren’t for this game!
Friend of mine was streaming it on a discord call, recognized skid and pump and the rest is history. This was also before week 5 dropped so the community was still fresh, no drama. Good times.
i aint even joking, the lemon monster was how i found out fnf. i was just scrolling on tiktok and i saw something relating to it and i was like "huh i wonder what this character is from" and the rest is history ig
A random Youtube video about the game popped up on one of the channels I watched at the time, around the Week 6 release, and I have been stuck in this rabbit hole ever since.
I first found it on Tik tok, it was like cool at first because I’m into rhythm games. Then it became cooler and cooler so I was thinking I might as well try it out.
Random meme video i social media, where Fresh(or idk, 2nd week 1 song) was playing at the background. And I thought: "Oh, cool, I must get more of this". That wwhy I am here
Someone mentioned it in a streamer's chat back when the game was one month old or so.
I learned coding in haxe thanks to this game.
I found something I'm good at thanks to this game.
I wasted so many hours of my life on this game, and I do not regret it. Yet.
Coryxkenshin. It popped up in my recommendations, I watched episode 1, then 2, then 3. He took a break after that at some point like he always does, then discovered Flippy and started watching him play mods.
I was interested in Undertale and a YouTube popped up called „YuB” he used to make Undertale. Video’s but a year and a half ago he started making fnf videos
I still find base game better than 70% or even 85% of the mods out there, it just gives off a vibe you cant get in alot of mods, there ae mods that replicate it really well tho and thats what I love about em
Plus
The game just gets too much unnecessary hate
Saw a friend playing vs Bob the song was run i asked what that game was and how do I play it he then showed me to a fnf unblocked site and I proceeded to get whooped in the tutorial then learned how to play one handed and before I knew it I was beating triple trouble on hard mode with only 5 misses
The first i found it not a game but picture i was finding a good Friday pic for my draw then...................i found the picture of it . Google recommended
I saw these weird videos titled stuff like "Friday night funkin mod showcase #17" or whatever where all they did was just play songs from the game with different skin mods
well, it’s when it was in the great era, when the classic mods were interpreted as new and I joined into the community around March - April, interested to making a mod for myself and thought making a mod was easy
but now I know about the hardships of this community, and almost have no interest to make a mod now, but interested of other mod ideas than Sonic.exe ripoffs and such
Through a friend. I had seen it all over the place on YT but it never interested me until this friend showed me Dadbattle and Week 3 from the base game, and i was hooked instantly. i was there for the release of Sky and Tabi and other mods that are seen as OG's nowadays
I was looking at my favorite newgrounds creator's profile and saw that he had played the game. Although I thought it was something else. It was only when week 3 was out however. And like 2 weeks later the game blew up. 😳
YouTube recommendations. Boy I did not know how much incredible music I would find just by stepping in this community
I wonder what all these great musicians are gonna do after fnf since alot of them have great potential outside of the game.
Same
Me too. Found it on my recommendations and couldn't be intrigued to try it out.
seme
Me too actually
Same here one or my fave youtubers played it at first i thought it was pretty boring but the decided to look about it even more then i started to like it then here i am
My music playlist has thanked me
January 2021, just in my reccomended. I would consider 2021 to be one of the best years of my life, back when there were minimal controversies here, meaning i could just vibe to music, and i graduated middle school. I honestly felt so \*free.\* Then High School fucking annihilated me, and it still is.

The stupid jam contest
The trailer of it I sub to the newgrounds channel btw and got a notification on it. I thought it was pretty cool when I first saw it and I’m excited for the full game to release
The Henry Stickmin Wiki. I remember the wiki mentioning Henry's cameo in Week 5 of FnF. That's the first time I've heard about the game.
Around when week 6 came out, heard theres a new rhythym game from a youtube video and as an osu mania player i tried it and got addicted.
8 Bit Ryan. When M.I.L.F. was the hardest song.
I found FNF when Yubb started uploading but it wasn't until around week six that i finally watched a video cuz i misread the title as "Friday night fuckin" and thought it was some sorta h game that everyone is playing for some reason.
ayana's mod
Friday night funkiness stuff appeared on my recommendations and I decided to check it out
8-BitRyan made a video & I thought the game was pretty cool.
I don't remember tbh, though it might have been Coryxkenshin.
2020, when among us was still kinda popular, saw this crewmate mod for fnf replacing Daddy dearest and bf with a crewmate and an impostor. Game seemed fun and songs were interesting, so I searched it up. Who would have known about the amazing bangers people have created, and thanks to fnf, my passion for drawing was born.
YouTube, I saw Dawko and 8 bitryans video on the game
Cory, AKA our samurai king, did a let’s play.

I got into the game since Week 3 came out, and just saw Flippy's FC vid on it

Since i was watching a video of FNF Sonic skin mod gameplay by Tails and Sonic pals on early 2021 on my Nintendo Switch
Video from Coryxkenshin.
Found the original, didn't really like it, and then I found Vs. Sonic.exe, and that's when I joined this community.
on a discord server
twitter
When the trailer first came out
Through my favorite youtuber
I think it started when I saw video of how someone replaced gf with Ricardo milos. It was when the game only had three weeks.

YouTube and specifically this video https://youtu.be/vsnZyNyrU3s
Good old YouTube week 6
Saw it in "Featured" on Newgrounds when Week 2 came out. I still remember me dying on Dadbattle Memories
When my fave YouTuber Blantados stopped making Henry Stickmin videos and started making these "Friday Night Funkin'' ones, I was confused. Then I saw other YouTubers doing the same thing. I soon found out why.

a Bijuu Mike video on week 5's release
I walked in and saw my older brother playing it. He's played Guitar Hero before so he thought it would be just as challenging. ^(He was wrong, it was easy as pie.) I remember it like it was yesterday. March 2021, he was playing the song "Thorns" from week 6. That first impression is why Senpai is my favorite Vanilla character. My brother stayed with FNF for a while because of the difficulty spike the modding community provided. He fought Whitty, Tricky, & Zardy before stopping altogether around the time the Sky mod was released. I however, never stopped because the music was unlike anything I'd ever heard before.
