Fortnite\u2019s New \u201cLlama Bell\u201d Emote Pays Homage to Legendary Comedy Sketch The new \u201cLlama Bell\u201d emote for Fortnite Battle Royale is quite possibly the most Fortnite-ish addition to the game you\u2019ll ever see. The emote, which went live on August 20, sums up the \u201cnot-so-serious\u201d side of Fortnite that originally separated it from its competitors in the battle royale genre and made it appeal to just about every audience. The Llama Bell shouldn\u2019t be as entertaining as it is but it immediately captured the imagination of players around the world and some even started to recognize it from something they had seen in the past. If you\u2019re one of those people, you might know that \u201cLlama Bell\u201d is paying homage to Will Ferrell\u2019s hilarious cowbell dancing in the famous Saturday Night Live \u201cMore Cowbell\u201d sketch that aired way back in April of 2000! Distract your opponents with more Llama Bell. New Emote available now! pic.twitter.com\/m7cKNVmjNp \u2014 Fortnite (@FortniteGame) August 20, 2018 If you didn\u2019t get your hands on the catchy new emote on August 20, you\u2019re out of luck for the time being as the 800 V-Buck item is no longer available in the item shop. However, if the initial response of the Fortnite community, including big personalities like Ninja and Tfue, is anything to go by, Llama Bell\u2019s popularity will likely mean that it returns in the near future. It\u2019s strange to think that simple things like emotes and the various other Fortnite cosmetics were so instrumental in the game\u2019s meteoric rise in popularity but the fact that they have been cannot be denied. All you have to do is look at the revenue generated from the free-to-play title to know that the in-game sales of items (that don\u2019t give any competitive advantage, by the way) are through the roof!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
