In the world of Fortnite, expressions of emotion are as essential as weapons and building materials. Among the diverse emotes available to players, the Laugh It Up emote stands out as a celebration of pure joy and laughter. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at this infectious emote, which has become a symbol of amusement and demoralization in the Fortnite community.
What is the Laugh It Up Emote?
The ‘Laugh It Up’ emote is one of the many emotes available in Fortnite, allowing players to express themselves and interact with others in a playful and entertaining manner. When activated, a character performs a joyful, extremely loud and hearty donkey laugh. The animation typically involves the character bending forward, slapping their knee, and laughing wholeheartedly. It’s a delightful expression that can light up any in-game situation, unless you were the person that was just killed. Then this emote is a more eloquent tea-bagging to the face. Seriously, I love this emote because I know it makes the sweaty and casual reach astronomical blood pressure rates.
Unlocking Laugh It Up
The ‘Laugh It Up’ emote is not always readily available in Fortnite’s Item Shop. It typically appears sporadically and can be purchased with V-Bucks when it’s on offer. Our man Sniffy Gobbleboxer encourages you to buy it if you see it in the Fortnite Item Shop. Fortnite hasn’t offered this amazingly brutal emote since mid-2022. Rumor has it that Fortnite tries to diminish the availability of toxic emotes. Pfffft. Claiming victory over the defeated is a time honored video gaming tradition.
Spreading Laughter, Cheer and Misery
The Laugh It Up emote serves a dual purpose in Fortnite. Firstly, it allows players to share moments of laughter and camaraderie with their squadmates and opponents. It’s a universal symbol of joy that transcends language barriers, making it a popular choice for emote interactions. A well-timed ‘Laugh It Up’ can turn a tense build battle or intense firefight into a lighthearted and amusing exchange.
Sniffy Gobbleboxer loves to Laugh It Up right before delivering the kill shot. His opponent gets to see an emote right before becoming paste.
Secondly, the emote serves as a form of non-verbal communication in the game. Players can use it to indicate that they found something funny or entertaining, adding a touch of levity to the gameplay experience. This often results in spontaneous emote parties, where multiple players join in the laughter, creating memorable in-game moments.
Also, it is one of the best ways to express domination over an opponent. After you kill someone in Fortnite they are forced to see your character. They can back out immediately, or they watch you play until they load into their next match. You can see if they are watching when an icon of an eye appears in the lower left of your screen.
I will Laugh It Up until they stop watching. I can sense their sadness. Their pain. Their anguish. I can sense the worth cratering with each knee slap. They are humiliated and I forge on battling toward another kill and victory.
Iconic Moments in Fortnite
The Laugh It Up emote has been featured in some of Fortnite’s most iconic moments. Whether it’s being used to celebrate a victory, lighten the mood during a challenging match, or create hilarious content for YouTube and social media, this emote has become a symbol of Fortnite’s fun-loving community.
The Power of Emotes in Fortnite
Emotes, like Laugh It Up, play a significant role in Fortnite’s cultural landscape. They allow players to express themselves, build connections with others, and add a personal touch to their in-game avatars. From the Floss and Orange Justice to Take the L and Electro Swing, emotes have become a core part of the Fortnite experience.
In a game that’s often about intense competition, emotes remind us that Fortnite is also a place for laughter, friendship, and shared experiences. The ‘Laugh It Up’ emote perfectly embodies this spirit and continues to be a cherished and memorable aspect of the game. When the person that kills you in game and then drops the Laugh It Up emote on you, don’t you feel cherished? Sniffy and I certainly cherish that moment.
So, next time you’re on the battlefield or celebrating a Victory Royale, don’t forget to ‘Laugh It Up.’ After all, what’s Fortnite without a little laughter? Eeeeee Rrrrrrrr Eeeeeeee Rrrrrrrrrrr. Donkey.
