Poor Tricky. All he ever wanted was to kill Hank. Can't have shit in Nevada

Everyone’s talking about the circus part, but not when Tricky screams out “HAANK!” @ 2:18

I still remember when M.I.L.F was the hardest song ever

There's no way this is almost a year old, absolutely unbelievable.

Ballistic: Just spam keys Matt: Just spam keys Tricky phase 3 and 4: Spam the keys and I break your knees

Holy shit, that circus theme at 0:37 had no right to hit that hard.

Over a year later and is still 90% better than most FNF songs.

I remember when I literally had a breakdown trying to beat this song... nostalgia

This isn’t even a Twitter argument anymore. We have reached the core and the source of it all. Twitter itself.

00:36 made me smile so hard haha

I love how the notes alternate at 1:16 and 1:32 it really shows the craziness and desperation from my perspective.

Drama? Cancelled mods? What are you talking about? Wake up bro, the second part of the Tricky Mod just released!

The difficulty: "Unfair" really fit this song. He throws insta kill notes at you, blocks the arrows with his sign and literally pulls your health bar down. Dood isn't afraid to cheat.

"why cant I kill" "rhythm gamer finger techniques"

the fact that this shit still holds up is amazing

Ah the better days of fnf modding, this was excellent and still is, well done

Tricky: *literally having a mental breakdown because he can't kill BF* BF: _"Groovy"_

"That girl is so cute, I wonder what she's listening to..."

This... 2 years ago... man, those good old days :')

I remember when Full-ass Tricky Mod came out and Hellclown was considered a ridiculously long (5+ minutes) stamina test. It was also the first mod to introduce gimmicks, and we were all freaking out about how awesome the damage notes were and how insanely hard Expurgation was with the insta-kill notes. I spent literal weeks trying to beat Expurgation, and when the day finally came, I completely lost my mind. I did absolutely terrible (65-70 ranking), but it was a huge deal to even finish it back then. Getting the Hellclown trophy and the Expurgation trophy on your menu was a badge of honor, and only the most dedicated or talented could earn it. Now, gimmicks are seen in almost every mod (to varying degrees of success) and 5-minute songs are the norm. Not only that, but I went back to Expurgation just recently and mopped the floor with that song. It's nuts to see the progression from then to now. Mods like Indie Cross and Imposter v4 are absolutely ridiculous, with songs requiring to never miss a note or forcing you to fight a goddamn Undertale boss while you hit notes. Then we have Termination from QT, which is probably the fairest unfair mod we have currently. That song is chart hell, but we've gotten to the point where chart hell is fun. It's like building up your spice tolerance. We have massive mods coming out left and right. Hypno's Lullaby, Doki Doki Takeover, and Mario's Madness v2 legit have 10+ songs to offer (even reaching the 20's sometimes), all of which are highly detailed and should legitimately cost money for the effort they have put in them. You also have songs that are cinematic masterpieces, like Libitina or Rumor. So many events occur that will entertain audiences, making them ride full blown emotional roller coasters as if they were watching a short film. On the other side, players are in maximum sweat mode, FCing the most unFC-able songs we can ever imagine. Matt was literally a joke mod back in the day, and now we have absolute machines FCing things like Sporting and even going as far as to PFC entire Dave and Bambi mods. It's genuinely impressive. This community is one of the more talented ones from what I've seen, and I'm honored to be a part of it even if a couple bad apples are seen here and there. We shouldn't judge the entire community off the minority; judge off the majority, of which are hard at work making revolutionary mods or completing charts that were meant to be 50/20 mode in the form of an FNF song. We've come a long way friends. Love you guys.

I *LOVE* how this mod made Tricky's ways so canon-like, he cheats, drags his own health bar ALL THE WAY UP, blinds you with a stop sign, it's just, damn it's just amazing.

Fun fact: a guy playng the chicken dance remix in Nevada caused all of this

2 years have passed , and i still love this song, nostalgia hits hard...

anybody remember when tricky was talked about all the time? good times.

YOU AREN'T HANK" "WHERE IS HANK" "HANK???" "WHO ARE YOU" "WHERE AM I" "THIS ISN'T RIGHT" "MIDGET" "SYSTEM UNRESPONSIVE" "WHY CAN'T I KILL?????" *well boyfriend is very small*

i love tricky is just going nuts: throwing in random melodies, cheating in his favor, all because he can, acting like the rogue god he is.

I actually love coming back to this I am actually convinced that expurgation is the best FNF mod song out there, at least as of right now, I just love everything about it

I think this is an accurate representation of what would happen if during the more recent episodes of Madness Tricky would be pulled into FNF, He'd be confused, asking where is he, where is hank, and just having no idea of his situation, he can't just kill BF, he has to sing notes, he tries to use spikes but fails, so he starts to find ways to kill BF, queue the instakill arrows, stop signs, and little tricky minions all trying to make it impossible for you to continue

he sounds less frustrated with the fact that he cant kill boyfriend and more lost and confused, which fits really well with the theme of the battle

Who’s still watching in 2024?

0:37 I swear every time I hear this part the phrase, "You're not a clown you're the whole damn circus" comes to mind. Maybe that's what they're singing when that part of the song comes up.

The fact the difficulty “unfair” isnt just a ton of note spam or high speed. It’s literally an unfair match with tricky cheating

"I'm not cheating, I'm just...distorting reality!"

It's been almost 3 years, I'm still listening to this amazing song!

I love the fact that tricky will just randomly go “MIDGET”

How to describe masochism: "I'm gonna play this again"

imo this is officially where FNF and the fandom peaked. Good times man, back when FNF weren't as oversaturated by people who probably has less brain cells than the amount of years they've been on the Earth for, which isn't even in the double digits.

I've drifted away from fnf but this song has always stuck with me. It's super nostalgic to me, and the ost is genuinely great. Nothing I'd call peak or put on a playlist, but it's a nice listen from time to time

If tricky has to ask in frustration "why can't I kill you" it can be confirmed that bf has more plot armor than any other character to ever exist in any series or game

Tricky having a breakdown because Hank didn't get the sweet and sour sauce, 2021 colorized

Literally number 1 best fnf mods ever made..

God.. this song hella hit with nostalgia. I remember listening to it for hours straight without getting one bit bored of it during juin-july of 2021.. god these were some golden days. Remember when this was the best mod ? When this was the hardest yet best song ? When madness combat took over fnf ? Those. Those were some peak days. To this day this song still goes hard. Definitely one of the few songs that marked me the most alongside chaos from vs sonic.exe

This song gives a totally diferent vibe but still manages to feel "Tricky"

I love how the difficulty is accurate because the song is LITERALLY unfair. Tricky is cheating the whole time by dragging down your health bar and covering the chart with warning signs

If you listen to trickys laugh in the background then good luck unhearing because i can’t stop hearing it from now on

I love when he yells “HANK!!!” I love the attention to detail. I love madness combat.

"Why can't you die!?" "Resident-Evil-Boss-Complex, Son"

Everyone out here saying tricky was "cheating", the song is literally set to "UNFAIR". my man tricky doesn't cheat, he plays dirty.

Expurgation is yet another masterpiece of a song. it has so many layers to it it's almost insane Tricky is obviously freaked out about how he is somehow being stopped and throws everything at BF in order to stop him but fails to so no matter what he throws out. This song honestly sounds like he's fighting for what is left of his life His status as a Clown, The Title of Unstoppable Nevadan Champion, he fights desperately knowing he won't win which is probably why at 1:30 it sounds like he's screaming "a Fool! a Fool!" as he realizes this before trying one more time to beat BF. and when unable to do so just screams "HANK" out of either blood lust or for help. he calms down near the end as if just accepting his fate.

After 1 year, it’s still a banger.

This one actually kind of sounds like Tricky is singing.

*Tricky actually suffers from a mental breakdown: The song*

I’m gonna say it. This is the best FNF mod song EVER.

the song is good, but the background is fire. literally.

"You don't kill clown" "Why can't i kill" Well well well look at the turntables

Not even "Insanity" or "Madness" can describe this song and the scene as a whole.

me in 2021: wow! this is hard! me in 2022: wow! this is STILL hard!

I will never forget that this mod was the first to put difficult mechanics

"why can't you die?" pan to bf pointing towards his armor labeled "plot armor"

"distant chuckle is not a playabe song" well well well

This is the feeling of talking to an old friend that you have expelled from your circle of friends after years

This was the song i convinced myself "fuck it, fnf is cool".

“Where am I” “Who are you” “This isn’t right” “You aren’t hank” “Hank???” “System unresponsive” “Midget” “Why can’t I kill”

The best part of this song honestly is the part where Tricky just screeches out *”HAAAAAAAAAAAANK!”*

Bruh some of y’all be going into depth and writing like 4 paragraphs about the emotion in this song when the lyrics are literally- “A oo e e ooo a ee a ee a oo oo a a a a o ie a eie a e ae a”

Holy shit, 2 years ago? Damn, time sure did fly. I remember listening to thsi on walks and it didn't even feel like that long ago

Everything about this mod was just... **chefs kiss**

This extra song had so much surprises and especially the clone dragging the health bar down, tricky clones putting up the signs and the new texts for Tricky, I have no words for how amazing this mod is

18 million views for a fanmade ost, really shows you how popular this game was in its prime

i have yet to see anything top expurgation like, at all. this is actually peak fnf modding, nothing will be better

other mods: calm, mad, pissed tricky mod: pissed, pissed, pissed and pissed yet confused

Maaaannnn... I feel bad for our clown demon, He's confused as fuck, don't where he is, don't where his favorite target and nemesis is (Hank), he can't kill BF due to the FNF rules, It's pretty much tricky having a mental breakdown for 3 min straight.

x0.25: nothing yet x0.5: finishing blow x0.75: like an actual madness combat track normal: well, normal x1.25: i have a mad necrodancy groove here x1.5 idk either x1.75 idk, again x2 i give up

this song hasnt even existed for 2 full years and yet its somehow nostalgic as hell

Tricky in other songs : *angry screaming* Tricky in expurgation : *confused screaming*

Note for the people who haven't beaten expurgation yet: You actually need to be at somewhat full health before 2:53 hits, because thats the moment where the tricky clone will drain your health to pixel health (not really tbh lol). If you're at only half health, he'll actually kill you, meaning you have to sacrifice your fingers again for another round of pain and suffering. This comment comes from a person who was confused why they died at the least part of the song despite not touching the black arrows

The last good hard song, right before the EXE and Bambi meatriders came in

people: tricky is misunderstood villain who needs love tricky: literally gets happy after ripping hanks head off

I love how fnf is the place where the long secluded newgrounds community and the mainstream internet finally reconnect after like 5+ years.

This used to be good in 2021-2022 and then died, this was a really good fnf song back then

Life is too short to argue on twitter

It’s a nice detail that Tricky sounds panicked, like how he’s so used to being the one in control and being unstoppable until he comes upon someone who can just retry over and over again until Tricky is defeated.

Tricky be like: "Random Bullshit Go!"

this is truly the of all time

i forgot how good fnf music was before it just fell off

Props to this song almost making me feel sorry for a homicidal murder clown, you can actually feel the desperation in this

Everything about this mod, specially this song, is a love letter to madness combat

*old man voice* I REMEMBER WHEN BALLISTIC WAS THE HARDEST SONG, AND IT ACTUALLY SOUNDED GOOD! YOU AND YOUR DARN FANCY MODS NOWADAYS!~

"What do you think he's listening to?" "Probably hard rock." *OG Expurgation OST*

It's now been officially 2 years since this banger has dropped. How does time fly that quick

This is one of those songs that sound ok the first time but the second or third time you hear it, it suddenly sounds like the best thing you've ever heard.

Song hits harder than tricky’s stop sign.

i wish more mods had epic music like this tbh, this songs instrumental just keeps on adding new things which makes this so upbeat and good

Respect to this song it gave me wifi

Much like in Madness Combat, Tricky may be a deranged, godlike zombie, but he still fights people to an equal extent. In Madness Combat, he actively gives the main characters weapons to fight him with, because he wants an equal fight. He could just spam fire and halo notes, but he doesn't. He gives boyfriend a chance to win.

In the mod, the difficulty for this secret song is listed as "Unfair". Here's the 3 reasons why: 1. Signs There are signs that appear on your screen and obstruct your view of the notes, thus making hitting the notes harder. 2: Tricky's clones Tricky's clones make an appearance, too. These guys appear next to your health bar and pull it backwards, making it easier to lose if you don't hit enough notes. 3: Instant death notes There are special notes that are black with a red outline and a halo above them. Hitting these notes make you instantly lose.

i remember when i used to move in directions while listening to this i still do this with other songs

"Anyways, so i started using cheat engine." -Tricky

It's not really cheating if you can infinitely retry It's like losing an argument getting a better comeback in the shower and then trying again without any repercussions

No matter what new mod or song comes out, expurgation is still the best thing I have ever heard. I don’t understand what it is but this song is perfect in every way. I remember not being very impressed by hellclown at first (I like it now) so when I watched someone play this song after hellclown, it hit me like a freight train. This is the only fnf song that has an instrumental that not only stands alone as it’s own amazing song, but is also better than most fnf songs. I love this song, and I am so glad that this mod existed.
