It seems like the buzz surrounding Rebecca Black will never die down as parody versions of her infamous 'Friday' keep emerging and get better and better.

This hilarious Rebecca Black GameBoy video transforms the singer's hit single into a geeky game. Her music video turns [8-bit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/16bit-display) as it's displayed on a [tiny handheld GameBoy Color](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sup-game-box-400). The player is challenged to guide Rebecca through her fun-filled Friday. They help her look so fresh 'n' so clean in new clothes, and make sure that she gets her nutrients with a bowl of cereal.

The real obstacle comes when Rebecca has to choose a seat in the car; should she sit in the front seat or the back? This suspenseful question is left in the hands of the player in this outrageous Rebecca Black GameBoy video.
