Fortnite was released by Epic Games in 2017 and grew into one of the most clipped and parodied games online, especially on YouTube Shorts and TikTok. The phrase be like is a long running meme format used to imitate how a person, show or video type typically behaves, usually by exaggerating its most recognisable habits. Fortnite Shorts Be Like applies that format to short form gaming videos, which is why creators reuse the audio for skits, edits and reaction posts that poke fun at predictable Fortnite content rather than serious gameplay.
