HE FELL FOR IT 😂🔥 (fortnite) @Wyful

Fortnite isn't going anywhere. Wyful pretends to read alarming news from his phone, then tells the boy beside him that the game is shutting down forever. Gameplay continues underneath the exchange, a small contradiction viewers have been quick to point out.

That's the setup of "HE FELL FOR IT 😂🔥 (fortnite) @Wyful," the most-watched of Wyful Shorts' seven uploads this week. The boy throws his arms up and screams before the clip cuts to a dancing crab and an on-screen admission that it's a joke. This is a prank, not a shutdown announcement. Among the comments, the crab's timing gets its own recognition.

Elsewhere, the family-comedy titles keep coming: "Girl OUTSMARTS Parents 🥹❤️‍🩹 (fortnite) @Wyful" and "KIDS STILL ALIVE 😂💯 (fortnite) @Wyful" both passed a million views. The former is currently gathering views fastest on the channel, while the previous week's "FATHER vs SON FIGHT! 😱🚨 (fortnite) @Wyful" remains another busy upload.

Across the channel, the week brought about 36 million views and continued subscriber growth, although today's viewing pace is below its usual level. In the nearby gaming group, DarkViperAU also had a substantial week, while More Lachlan had a quieter daily pace than usual.

Wyful Shorts' channel description points toward two million subscribers. It moved closer this week, with another batch of Fortnite family jokes doing the work.
