"HEY! You think you can just sing with my daughter like that? If you want to date her... You're going to have to go through ME first!"

- Daddy Dearest

Daddy Dearest is the antagonist of Week 1, one of the two primary antagonists of Week 5 alongside his wife Mommy Mearest, and the main antagonist of Friday Night Funkin' as a whole. His tracks include Bopeebo, Fresh, and Dadbattle, and shares the tracks Cocoa and Eggnog with Mommy Mearest. He is an ex-rockstar who serves as the demonic husband of Mommy Mearest and the father of Girlfriend, and attempts to eliminate his daughter’s boyfriend by any means possible, as he does not approve of the relationship between the two.

Appearance
Daddy Dearest has a demonic-looking appearance with lavender skin, black eyes with red glowing pupils and greyish-lilac hair vaguely shaped like a demon's horns. He wears an open black suit jacket without a shirt that reveals his grey chest and pubic hair, black pants held by a belt with a golden buckle, and a silver watch on his left wrist. He has some stubble on his chin and a mark on his forehead. He holds a microphone in his left hand.

During Week 5, he wears a green version of his suit jacket and pants. He sits on Mall Santa's throne with Mommy Mearest on his lap. He wields a handgun in his right hand while holding his wife around the waist with his left hand.

Trivia

 * This is also true for his and Mommy Mearest's shared icon in Week 5. However, even if a different icon were to replace it, there's no programming for it to change anyway.
 * Oddly, his earlier icons did include a "danger" version but were left unused.
 * The official name for him at the moment is "Daddy Dearest," which is his name in the files of the game.
 * He was the first antagonist initially programmed and designed for the game as he appeared in the Ludum Dare prototype.
 * Daddy Dearest was responsible for Pico and Boyfriend's interaction in Week 3 due to him hiring Pico as a mercenary to assassinate Boyfriend as revenge for his defeat in Week 1.

 * ninjamuffin99, the game's programmer, has confirmed that Daddy Dearest will return to rematch Boyfriend in the future.

 * According to a Tweet by ninjamuffin99, Daddy Dearest didn't play any instruments as he was only a vocalist.
 * Daddy Dearest is the only character to have a singing animation that lasts a single frame, hitting a left note. Unlike him, every other character's singing animations have at least two frames.
 * Daddy Dearest only sings with Boyfriend out of pride and to be condescending as a performer.
