About
My Friend Justin Is Cracked At Fortnite My Guy refers to a viral video from TikTok of a kid named @dylannatalin saying, "My friend here, Justin. He's already taken and he's cracked at Fortnite, my guy," and then a high-pitch moan is audible. The video was reposted to multiple platforms, adding to the lore of Fortnite kid cringe. Going into 2020 and 2021, the audio was used en masse as a sound on TikTok.
Origin
Sometime in late May 2020, a TikTok[1] was posted by dylannatalin (since deleted) where he recorded his friend Justin playing Fortnite and brags about him from afar. The video was deleted along with dylannatalin's account, however, on June 8th, 2020, the TikTok was reuploaded to YouTube by the channel McPepsi Memes, earning roughly 6.1 million views over the course of two years (shown below).
Spread
On November 23rd, 2020, TikToker[2] onevilage repurposed the audio into his own video, which made a joke about talking to young, Gen Z sixth graders on a school bus. Over the course of a year and a half, the video received roughly 4.8 million plays and 543,800 likes (shown below).
Going into December 2020, multiple TikTokers used onevilage's sound[3] for their own videos. For instance, on November 24th, 2020, TikToker[4] diego_artwell posted a skit about his little brother disturbing him while gaming, earning roughly 6.8 million plays and 930,400 likes over the course of a year and a half (shown below, left). On November 30th, TikToker[5] chrispena08 used the audio along with a video of his baby sitting in a gaming chair with headphones, earning roughly 13.5 million plays and 2 million likes in the same amount of time (shown below, right).
Going into 2021, catchphrases related to friends named Justin being "cracked" at Fortnite surfaced on Twitter, [6] among other platforms.
