Can you do a history of Hank from madness combat
Madness will for sure have it's own video!
I actually made one years ago, but it's unlisted since it was so rushed. Not up to the current Flashlight quality. Looking forward to revisiting that one :)
Can you make a video about fancy pants

I'm 21 and I was a fetus when Pico's School came out...
cool
so true
Thank you verified youtuber
Hi
verified youtuber moment
Saying that Pico's School promotes school shootings is like saying that Doom promotes Satanism, the people saying it are seeing the signs, seeing the references, and seeing the source material, but completely missing the point of the game as a whole
satanism inst evil, its like humanism
@@white52 oh wow very edgy
@@walter6164 what do you mean? i dont see whats edgy at satanism. most of satanism is atheist and it isnt worshipping satan at all.
@@white52 Then they're not satanists. If they dont actually worship satan then why tf call yourself one? It's literally a belief set just called that to be edgy and offend uppity Christians. It's not like their beliefs are even different at all from a traditional western atheist.
@@tranidite untrue. atheistic satanism is humanistic religion using satan as symbol of rebellion on tyrannts and of freedom.

Fun fact: Pico means many things in spanish, such as:
-pickaxe
-the top of a mountain
-the beak of a bird
-the spout of a teapot
-Dick (in Chile)
-a type of candy (Pico dulce, Argentina)
-a type of salsa (Pico de gallo, Mexico)
-the mouth of a person (usually, one that speaks too much)
He is a pickaxe?! :0

It's really sweet that Tom acknowledges the headcanons people make for Pico.
Could you please tell me the headcanons? Or where I can find them?
I just want to write a fanfiction about Pico's life before the shooting, but I'm afraid that I will miss something important.
@@risurisunaa I'm sorry, I don't really know much of headcanon lore besides the Friday Night Funkin' ones. I'm certain you'll find plenty throughout Newgrounds. Best of luck to you!

Sad. Oh and 69th like
I'm honestly really upset that I wasn't a newgrounds kid. I stayed more on Y8, Kizi, Friv or the like, and watching everyone talk about their love for these characters makes me wish i could be a part of it. Very glad Friday Night Funkin allowed me to learn about them however.
Same. I watched a lot of newgrounds videos that were reuploaded onto youtube and it lead me to the sleepycast which to this day I still love
Ive never heard of Pico until FNF came along. He is a super cool character
Sammee, i loved NG site i looved how it was but i couldn't read English well and kinda left it :(((
newgrounds in 07 was just straight 🔥
Y8 and Friv kid? Yo! I'm in the same boat as you. I never knew Newgrounds website was a thing until playing Cat Mario.
Mindchamber is the most underrated newgrounds animator. Would love to see a video about him someday.
Me too!
It's easily one of the most bold, unique styles. Everything is so scratchy, but always pops and moves so smoothly. Aw man I just love it!
Should have added that the riddle school series wouldent exsist if picos school never got made
when i was a kid i would only really go on newgrounds because i liked to play riddle school, and i was one click away from clicking on picos school and probably being way too fucked up as a child

Happy Pico day :D
What the hell is disss
I won't lie, when I started playing FNF and saw Pico, I got that sense of de-ja-vu as if I have seen him before. 2007 to 2008ish was when I was introduced the internet and I just vaguely remember my uncle playing flash games on the computer and seeing a ginger kid with a gun. Whether it was an actual Pico game or not is beyond me, but that memory sort of sits in the back of my mind when I play FNF on Pico's week (Or at least what's left of it lmao)
From what I heard the whole pico x bf being canon started as a joke and after a while the devs would make it officially canon.
Well to be fair, pico is whatever you want him to be so it’s up to interpretation
@@jujubeelee3913 That's fair. In the end, it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things
@@madg510 you can imagine him as bi or gay or straight it really doesn’t change anything about pico himself
It started as a joke, when someone said that people fell for it too easily, he's said "it's too easy baby", then he said on stream sarcastically that it was canon, the fans have basically pushed it. I will never forgive the "pico from fnf" people. About what tom said, pico 2 is a joke on newgrounds and if you know that then it's obvious he was joking. This ship just genuinely makes me kind of uncomfortable, for real, people just ship this character who has existed for 20 years with a character that is so new like, who is this? There was shipping on newgrounds before fnf such as pico x nene which is honestly more tame to me since nene is also an old newgrounds pico who debuted with pico. I just wanted to talk about why I honesty don't like pico x bf. If you like it that is ok.
Moral of the story:never joke
I literally didn’t exist when Pico’s School came out.
Same
Same
ALOT of people haven't
And?.
most of the pico's school audience didn't. and most of the pico's school audience consisted of teenagers and young adults
10:04 “I believe the Terminator even used on.”
Newgrounds deserves a solid feature documentary on its history, and i'm sure a lot of its community will want to contribute by animating whatever's necessary... I PM'd Tom by offering editing, music or motion graphics if needed, this could totally be a thing made by its users... Long live NG, my solid Flash school since the year 2000, an amazing community.
I agree! It's the sort of thing where I hope to one day be able to do in-person interviews, and make something *extra* professional. Like, a NoClip worthy documentary!
There’s already one in UA-cam, look it up
Can't wait for the history of Madness
He already did few years ago but somehow it got removed.
Maybe on madness day
Certainly felt like gone through the history of Newgrounds, kinda surprises me people don't know about Pico's existances before FNF, unless ofcourse they never knew about Newgrounds itself
Some people weren't into newgrounds
I personally was too much of a kid to understand what newgrounds even was
Wait if Pico’s school came out in 1999 when Tom was 20.. THEN HES 43 NOW
Nice math skills
Thx for doing the math for me
🤯🤯🤯🤯
That’s pretty damn old
oh gosh
21:40
LOL, that beat drop from Blammed was perfect. Because as soon Pico just punched a man, THE BEATDROP WENT ON LOL.
Im honestly kinda hoping for vid on Mindchamber, talking about Alloy, how he lost it, and showcasing his other works and what hes done for Newgrounds .
Im happy to see that pico is more popular
yeah everything seems to be making a comeback

When every internet personality has passed and been forgotten. Doge has left our memories, every Karen buried six feet and comic sans memes burned to the ground. Pico will still stand tall, reigning the Portal with two uzi's!
I think the biggest issue in the community currently is the age of the characters and the lewding
If pico is 21, then the others are also adults, but others say otherwise and it definitely has caused lots of fights ive gotten to watch
What? They have ages. He's 21, bf and gf are both 19.
Literally everyone is over 18 except Skid and Pump.
There's an entire 11 minute and 48 second playthrough of Pico's School here on UA-cam. I went to the FNF wiki and found an page on Pico. That's where I found out about his original game, Pico's School and, after seeing the playthrough, I immediately fell in love with the characters in it.
(Nene's Interactive Suicide is still so ridiculously, yet hilariously, messed up to me.)
Dunno if I've ever said this before, but on the subject of Pico's School being more than people give it credit for despite all the toilet humor (no pun intended), here's my addition:
The most evocative stories are the ones willing to laugh, because then you know that it was made by a human. It's just a lot clearer that someone actually gives a damn when they have a wide range of emotions in their work.
This gave me INTENSE chills of nostalgia
Fun fact: pico day is on the same as as the spongebob anniversary and picos school was made 1 day before spongebob aired
wait a minute that means newgrounds is canon to spongebob I don’t care what anyone says

18:40 It works!
Playing PICO as one of my first games filled with gore at a really young age, was truly eye opening. I just thought the game was cool and "different" to other games that were softer in themes and I still loved them. Nothing harmful was even put into my head and I practically just went on to playing other trendy flash games. It was a nice era.
Looking back, despite the controversy the series sparked, there's something I find cathartic about playing as someone who fights back in a *very* darkly comedic series. Dark comedy and Pico series aren't for everyone (even I couldn't laugh at certain parts). She's less talked about, but if Pico was Fulp's escapism character, Nene was the most relatable for me. I also found myself relating to Nene because she's also a girl who felt ashamed of herself.
She's an Asian stereotype with putting herself down too much and the whole "honor" thing, but I found it more amusing more than anything because it is true to some degree for me as someone who's also Asian and anxious. I remember reflecting that there was a sliver of relief that I can just chuckle a bit about a fictional character who's undergoing the same in spite of myself in a similar situation as she was, just without the promiscuity and herpes. I appreciate the interpretive aspect of the characters because that means I can imagine what kind of upbringing she, Pico, and Darnell had that made them that way.
Thanks a lot for confirming the FnF Pico as BF's ex. You don't know how much people are on denial about this. Like they try to say that Tankman's roast about them being "sexually ambiguous friends" is something else (like making Pico non-binary, trans, etc). It's literally meant to be taken as "Wow dude, you out here trying to save a girl when your """friend""" seems to love you more than she does". Another piece of info that seems to be highly unknown is that Pico's first song would of been named "Long time no see" instead of just Pico to further indicate their previous connection, but it was scrapped because the name was too long and didn't fit with the short names of the other songs.
Seriously, what's the problem with it being canon? Nothing at all. They are not together NOW, they just used to be back in middle school, then they broke up a few years after and actually stopped seeing each for a long time (the song's beta name). For me, they're so cool and just friendship goals, to be able to get over their break up and become best buddies as adults.
Did the devs confirm what the "sexually ambiguous" line meant that?
@@bernardfrancis2127 Not exactly, however the voice actor for Tankman was in complete charge of the script and he is aware that the dudes are an ex couple (He has retweeted stuff about them). It makes no sense for it to mean anything else, like the trans or nonbinary thing just is too out there. Also it's just a classical "lol you gay" roast.
@violetrivers Your take of the line is cool too. But take into account that the roast is directed towards BF, he is talking to BF not Pico.
@@Pico_Captain Oh, also I didn't wanna sound like I'm obsess over a fictional character's sexuality I was just curious.
@violetrivers The line is "Your sexually ambiguous angry little friend". He's talking to BF. He then makes a small pause and says "Don't you have a school to shoot up?" to Pico. Another little pause and he talks to BF again: "there's only one way to settle this..."
The only line towards Pico is the one about school shooting, the rest are towards BF.
I was so obsessed with Pico when I was realllllly young (I’m talking like 2nd or 3rd game). I was born in ‘99 and I never met anyone irl that played Pico. I’m glad I found this video, in a weird twisted way, it was insanely nostalgic to go back to Pico
Still kinda sad certain content is lost even on newgrounds... early 00's internet was a golden age of full freedom of expression.
I only remember pico being the character that inspired riddle school games, I was surprised to see him reappear in fnf, knowing all the history this character carries is cool to me!
I never heard of Pico before the FNF game so I had no clue he had such a rich history 😯
You're not contempt with making amazing content Graeme, you go out of your way to be an upstanding guy
Using ad money to fund paying a closed captioning service, you clever devil... Mad respect
If YT hadn't killed community captions I would've worked on some Spanish ones for you, but regardless.
Bless you, and I forgot it was Pico Day. Can't thank you enough for all the wonderful insight you always give
im 30 years old, played Pico when i was hella young and easily influenced, yet the part at the end you pointed out where he tells Cassandra to use her rage/hatred etc. for a more positive outlet actually stuck with me to my adult years, sad i just saw this video now, had no idea it had this much of an impact over the years, it literally set the bar for satire for me (like oh this is really bad yet i never was like im gonna do this irl) ive played just about all of Fulps games over the years, recently saw Pico on FNF and it blew my mind hes still super relevant, and im mindblown how much i learned from this video, good stuff dude, i always wondered what happened and where Pico ended up, and led me to this video after a quick google search, never realised half the creators i follow on modern social media started on NG, just wow, well spoken and informative good stuff man, i got alot to think about haha
What a wonderful reply! Thank you so much for sharing :)
I don't think Pico has had much pop culture relevance in about 20 years. And even Pico Day was sliding in participation!
It's actually unreal how big FNF is. Most ~11-16 year olds all know who Pico is now through that game! I wanted to ensure as many new fans as possible understood he's not a new character :)
Apparently Piconjo is back and alive, and the newgrounds account was confirmed to be a joined account. I'm still curious wether there was any death at all though from anyone who was in the joined account.
Edit: I'm actually in a small community discord server with the real Piconjo. It turns out the reason they disappeared was due to boredom, and there was no death at all. Piconjo is actually very nice, and is working on a project which I think is a game. The OST has been posted to their newgrounds if you'd like to check that out. He also established in the discord server that a lot of the information on the wiki was wrong, and there's still a lot of stuff people don't know.
WOOO UPDATE #2! I was in the Piconjo Day banner on Newgrounds and Piconjo Day jam. I'm super good friends with Piconjo and let me just say, looking back at this video there's just so much misinformation! Please consider removing Piconjo's bit or redoing it. Piconjo
YAYYYYY I was very sad when I thought he died and was confused on how he came back this year. Finally solves my problem on his lore in the community. Would like to be friends with him too!
How I found Pico? Through a dating sim of course.
Don't look at me like that.

This is beautiful. So many memories, it would’ve been hard to explain to people about pico, and new grounds lore and everything but now I can just spam this video. Thanks for the memories
Picos school was one of the first flash games I've ever played, and I'll forever cherish Pico as flashplayer king
Thank you so much for making this well crafted video essay / documentary /retrospective, i really enjoyed your unbiased and mature yet lighthearted analysis. I'm almost 25 but have very fond memories of newgrounds during my elementary and high school years. This took me down memory lane in a fond way instead of a depressingly nostalgic way, not sure how you pulled it off bro but im definitely subscribing and looking forward to more content in the future. Love!
Fun fact if the fnf kick starter reaches more than 2-3 MILLION then there will be a picos school 2...holy shit
@Mac Cheezy they hit 1 million in 2-3 days
@Mac Cheezy and they even said in the description of the payment thing that they would do that
@Mac Cheezy Wtf is wrong with some people? Like I get paying like atmost 100 dollars for them to call you a loser but 10,000? Jesus that's frickin weird.
These just bring back so many memories of cruising new grounds on dial up
A common misconception is that Pico's School takes place in an Elementary School, when all the characters are in fact; in High School during the events of Pico's School.
Starting this video up and hearing the endless handbag loop just brings a tear to my eye.
Only reason I had no idea that Pico was from an original game and not FNF is because I didn’t have access to Newgrounds very much 😂 Once my parents found out the shit that I accessed on there, that was it. I never came across Pico’s School. Not everyone was allowed to play games like that so please get over yourself when you say “I cAn’T bELiEvE pEoPLe ThOuGhT PiCo wAs OriGiNaLLy FrOm FnF!!!!!”

Back then it was Macromedia, before Adobe shidded it up
Hella! Im excited to see you go over the history of those clock animations. I remember being so confused on wtf they were when i was a kid. Yeah I definitely shouldn't have been on that site in the first place and playing pico's school. But with new grounds being popular again, I can't wait to make a new account and make content again.
i think an entire lecture about early newgrounds in general would be great. maybe that's just because i want to see someone talk about FDA and cat dynamics though
This was thorough, and well done.. and very bittersweet.. 👌
Love or hate the game, the way that FNF has resurrected these old NG characters into the mainstream is something that cannot be looked down on.
Piconju might be a later boss that you fight as pico in FnF, that would be kinda cool
I remember the day my dad showed Pico's School to me on my grandma pc
Just the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life
holy shit, I just realized that you're the guy who organized the Did You Hear That collabs on Newgrounds!!! I absolutely adored them back in 2012-2013. Thank you for that. Have you thought about uploading them on UA-cam?
Happy Pico Day!! NG has been such a big part of my life these past few years. I'm glad to see the FNF influx introducing so many new people to new things.
May I request another Flashlight episode? Madness Combat! When the full Madness : Project Nexus 2 game comes out on Steam, the best way to celebrate would be with a Flashlight covering one of my favourite NG series of all time.
You should definitely do Hank from Madness Combat!
everyone knows how he was made,grunt to hurt to more hurt to a monster
i really hope that some day you talk about madness combat
Also since pico survived a school shooting, and for mental trauma because of that, he has untreated schizophrenia.
now he is the cool man in a beep bop game
I thought pico’s school was made in like 2004 not 1999, even more impressive
this channel is litterally so underrated
Huh, up until this point I was convinced Pico and BF formerly being a thing was a joke like BF's name being Keith.
i wish it is
@@nikblur130 a joke that is canon
@@dott3dlines it isn't
@Mac Cheezy Yea, my way of deciding is when the full game arrives and if it isnt mentioned in the cuts scenes then it isn't cannon.
@@dott3dlines Maybe it is in Ninjamuffin’s FNF fanfic, but it certainly isn’t canon to Tom Fulp’s pico school(Pico’s actual canon).
For Flashlight, I was wondering if you can talk about Flipline Studios and the Papa Louie Games. I know it’s not new grounds but that’s a lot of people’s childhoods, including me
Please make a history of Ailen Hominid next?
I love this show, I'm glad you promoted it over my no clip answer on twitter. The one thing i'd be curious about even though you explore flash history is a bit what happened to those devs on how important they are to the gaming scene to this day.
Some went to do animation but Edmund Mcmillen influences over indie games is astonishing.
Tom Fulp had a lot to do with behemoth games... And still has the newgrounds spirit even though less raw.
And Egoraptor, an animator, did a very popular let's play serie, produced dream daddy, a game that had a lot of success, and even is a member of starbomb, which is basically musical game parody.
Also maybe some theme videos would be cool like counterculture in flash content.
But that's what I'd like to see or know. The thing you do is amazing by itself and even though I was very invested in newgrounds and flash history. I learnt a lot from that vid. I don't want to sound like i'm the center of the world or like I know better. I don't, I'm just wondering if you'd find that content interesting...
Anyway great video, can't wait to watch all there is about all that.
Hey Luck! Good to see you! Glad you chose to follow up after that reply ;)
A highlight episode of prominent creators who started out in Flash could be cool! Although it's a bit of a running theme through the series, so maybe wouldn't warrant an individual examination?
But the counterculture of Flash, and how influential it's been on mainstream games moving forward is something I'd LOVE to pay greater respect to! Especially how it really opened the door for mobile games, and the indie scene.
Thanks again for giving it a watch. Cheers!
@@2leftthumbs well since that answer I've been watching a lot of your content and this is high quality stuff.
Can't wait to see where you'll get going in the future, if you ever do an episode about counter culture, I'll be watching that right away.
Circles and squares is so good, also Stamper (the guy who made it and was narrator for Battleblock Theatre) made the map theme for Castle Crashers. A little fun fact for you peeps
To anyone who believes Pico isn't gay-
You do you, no-one needs to tell you anything different.
What matters most is that you enjoy it, right?
An actual person who respects others opinions of pico x bf? *this is the most rarest moment I have seen on the internet*
I don't think he's gay. Maybe bi or pan
Tbh when it said pico and boyfriend used to date I felt personally attacked
@@xflashdanielx4700what are you talking about he’s not any of them he’s literally a video game character
I think he's straight since his love interest is nene
damn gotta wait till september to wait for history of hank
this video brings me back, holy shit, I had even forgotten about the pico voting system
I’m so happy that he’s had a resurgence
Imagine being just a developing baby when Pico just released . . . hot damn .
Glad to know I've been growing up with him all these years and he's pretty much my age , somewhat - XD
21:58 Whelp turns out not only did piconjo fake their own death but they were also never a real person.
Nah it has been confirmed by someone that Piconjo was actually a joined account and that left newgrounds for a while due to boredom and came back
I can just imagine hearing kids saying he’s from FNF instead of Pico’s School
0:48 Such an awesome intro dude!
Today I made my own tradition called you grounds I am going to watch UA-cam and play new grounds for the whole day nonstop except going to the bathroom eat and sleep
damn
