Adam Driver parodied Fortnite in a great Saturday Night Live sketch
If you've ever experienced the full horror of teaching a parent how to game, look away now. This video may bring back unpleasant memories.
Fortnite has clearly reached a point in popular culture where it can be parodied on major American TV programmes, as this latest sketch by Saturday Night Live shows. Adam Driver plays a single dad who wants to be better at Fortnite than his son's stepfather. Teaching him the ropes are "Fortnite players" Pete Davidson and and Kyle Mooney - but despite their best efforts, it seems nothing can save the squad from disaster.
While the sketch includes many obvious gamer tropes like running into a wall, the devil is in the details. There are some specific Fortnite references - such as the sound effects and that dumb jumping everyone does - in addition to details like Adam Driver's username, "WilliamMcTavish1972," which absolutely sounds like every parent account ever. Oh - and take a close look at the way Driver holds that controller. Amazing.
