If your children are into Fortnite, you’re likely well-acquainted with the game’s cultural phenomenon. It’s not just a game; it’s a lifestyle that your kids are entirely engrossed in, often dominating their conversations. So when two mothers, Lisa Thompson and Sarah Miller, decided to create a humorous video capturing the chaotic experience of living with Fortnite fanatics, the outcome was both relatable and laugh-out-loud funny.
In their video, Lisa, who blogs at The Modern Mom, and her friend Sarah aimed to illustrate what it’s like to share a home with kids consumed by the game. They recorded themselves lip-syncing to a recent gaming session, and it’s a must-watch to truly grasp the hilarity of the situation. “WATCH and SHARE with any parent experiencing Fortnite Fatigue Syndrome,” Lisa posted on her Facebook, sharing the uproarious video. Just a few seconds in, you’ll find yourself nodding along in agreement.
“We’re headed to Tilted! Look, everyone’s going to Tilted!” Sarah shouts, while Lisa, lip-syncing, chimes in with, “Go, default orange juice skin, Gooooo!” Their performance captures the essence of a typical game, complete with shoving snacks into their mouths while glued to the screen, sporadic dance breaks (you haven’t lived until you’ve seen the floss), and loud complaints about poor internet connectivity (“This isn’t a joke. OMG, MOM!”).
My partner and I sometimes engage in a little game of our own—disconnecting the wifi while enjoying a glass of wine, just to observe the ensuing chaos. Our 12-year-old is usually the first to bolt upstairs, reacting as if there’s been a disaster. “OMG, WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE INTERNET?! I was in the middle of a match! When is it coming back on? Are you just going to sit there?!?” all while we sip our wine, feigning ignorance. It’s surprisingly therapeutic.
The comedic timing in Lisa and Sarah’s video only gets better as they lament their gaming skills while fantasizing about starting a YouTube channel to garner “like 3,000 subscribers.” The banter about avoiding shotguns and collecting llamas sounds all too familiar to any parent—this is our daily reality.
With more yelling and finger-pointing over who’s responsible for defeats and the dramatic slamming of remotes, the video perfectly encapsulates the truth of living with Fortnite enthusiasts. It wraps up with footage of their sons playing, complete with one of them yelling into his headset, “No swearing, my mom’s here!”
