14SiIvagunner Mod
For those unfamiliar, SiIvagunner is a youtube channel that focuses on making “quality rips” of countless songs from across video game history, altering elements of songs in a variety of ways to great comedic effect. Whether it be by incorporating elements from popular meme-related songs into a video game track, or using a song to cover an entirely different track, there’s a lot to appreciate about SiIvagunner.
SinceFriday Night Funkin’got off the ground, the channel has been producing countless great altered versions of tracks from the game with comedic visual accompaniment. However, what is the most impressive is that these altered SiIvagunner versions are being made playable in an updated Mod that features a variety of settings and extra modes. This is easily one of the largest and most multifarious FNF mods around, featuring everything from Childish Gambino and Daft Punk to references to Among Us and a very specific iteration of Buggs Bunny.

12Friday Nokia Funkin'
WhileFriday Nokia Funkin’is easily the smallest entry on this list, its concise size makes it no less hilarious. Putting the player up against a giant, photo-realistic Nokia phone, rather than engaging in a rap battle as one would expect, the player simply needs to repeat the classic Nokia ring tone. While this mod is far from fancy, it does a solid job getting the joke across.
For those looking for a short but sweet comedy mod,Friday Nokia Funkin’can be found here.
11Otamatone MILF
A mod that changes both the visuals and music of one of the game’s most iconic songs, as the name of the mod would suggest,Otamatone MILFreskins the week 4 track, MILF to be played on an Otamatone. While the musical change is funny in its own right, the augmented visuals really make this mod work, not just changing the characters' appearances to be depicted as Otamatones, but even changing the arrows of the game’s interface to be Otamatone’s as well.
For those interested in experiencing this fun twist on a FNF classic,Otamatone MILFcan be found here.
It’s a common problem: sometimes, when enjoying a game, a player stops and thinks, “Wouldn’t this be so much better… if it were worse?” Don’t worry, a mod is here to deliver a product that no one asked for and everyone needed; every aspect of the game has been downgraded to a comical low.
The art style has been overhauled and ‘remastered’, each rapper’s voice has been garbled, and even the directional arrows have been given a messy makeover. Every feature has been worsened, and the experience is all the better for it.
For the player looking for an uproarious downgrade,Friday Night Funkin, But Badis available to download here.
9Hatsune Miku Mod: An Encore Performance
Yes,thatHatsune Miku. This Vocaloid idol is a surprising favorite amongst the FNF modding community (and the idol herself is no stranger tovideo game appearances); there seems to be a good deal of overlap between rhythm game enthusiasts and enjoyment of other virtual musical sensations.

Of course, there is a bit of a difference between appreciating the music of the Vocaloid idol, and designing an entire stage of a rhythm game around beating her in a multi-stage rap battle. But sometimes a modder just wants to see a virtual rapper and a virtual idol duke it out, and the modding scene is all the better for it.
For Vocaloid fans or those just looking for an amusing genre-appropriate opponent,TheHatsune Miku Modcan be downloaded here.
8Golf Minigame: Certainly Up to Par
So,Friday Night Funkin’may be a fantastic rhythm game. But it is alousy golf simulator— in fact, there is no trace of golf in the game whatsoever! One of the developers really dropped the ball on that one. Fortunately, theGolf Minigamemod seeks to fix this glaring oversight and presents the player with an entirely new stage, where the player can seek to impress with their rapping and putting skills.
Just in case that wasn’t enough, there is a guest appearance from vocaloid sensation Miku. FNF fans really do love that idol. For the player looking for the brave new golfing frontier of rhythm games,the mod is available here to download.
7Friday Night Gunnin’: Shooting to Impress
Sometimes a boy needs to rap battle against his girlfriend’s father in order to impress them. And sometimes he just gets shot at.Friday Night Gunnin’seeks the best of both worlds. The modder behind this amusing redesign has reskinned and reorchestrated an early stage of the game to feature an absurd gunfight between the boyfriend and Daddy Dearest (wielding his brand-new bulletproof Dad-Shield).
With handguns blasting to the beat, entirely redesigned character sprites, and a brand-new stage backdrop,the mod is available herefor when rap battling just isn’t doing the trick.
6High Effort Ugh 2.0 (feat. Tankman): Rolling Out the Hit(s?)
Yes, Week 7 may have been extremely popular. Sure, it might have been “crash the site on launch day” popular. But surely no one was so enthralled that they only want to play only one song from that one week? Once again, the modding community defies common sense to hilarious results.
High Effort Ugh 2.0 knows what its audience wants: Ugh, Ugh, and more Ugh. This mod quite literally removes all other stages of the game, all other characters, all other songs from the rhythm game. After all, argues the mod author, it’s got everything the dedicated player needs: the Ugh track, Tankman, and…
Maybe it’s an acquired taste. But for the hyper-dedicated fan,the mod is available here to download.
5Obama Night Funkin’: A Chuckle-in-Chief
Sure, any rap battle can begood. But can it really begreatwithout featuring the two-term 44th U.S. President Barack Obama? Maybe. But some modders aren’t willing to risk it. Replacing the sprite for Daddy Dearest with a custom sprite of Barack Obama and replacing the original with a custom presidential rap battle, the FNF modding community ensures that if Obama ever does becomea crucial celebrityto feature within the rhythm game genre, they’re well ahead of the curve.
Obama Night Funkin’can be downloaded here, for players seeking a formal presidential chuckle.
