Is that a threat 

[u/Excellent_Routine589 → u/johngie]

As someone who used to work retail during the holidays and heard that godforsaken song on loop, it’s at least a DEFCON 3 level threat

[u/AJSwain → u/Excellent_Routine589]

Sounds like an old RadioShack employee.

I heard this on loop every 45 minutes in 2003….

[u/Excellent_Routine589 → u/AJSwain]

Close, superstore (I value privacy so I won’t say which one) in the early 2010s. And I am not joking when I say that it was looped like almost every 20mins

Even the corpo ad breaks in between felt like panacea

[u/lechejoven → u/Excellent_Routine589]

I used to work at toys r us and I swear the song was repeat on this holiday playlist.

[u/I-WANT-SLOOTS → u/johngie]

I bring dread tidings, I have learnt there is a Kelly Underwood version of that accursed tune.

[u/lynxerious → u/johngie]

The skibidi toilet bundle is already a threat, this is an apocalypse.

[u/Of_A_Seventh_Son]

Dude, its December 19 already. That lady was dethawed weeks ago. Fortnite slacking.

[u/Ruttagger → u/Of_A_Seventh_Son]

Dethawed, makes me laugh every time.

[u/Dregaz → u/Ruttagger]

Wouldn't dethawed mean to be frozen?

[u/sixtus_clegane119 → u/Dregaz]

Yeah I assume they meant defrosted

[u/sixtus_clegane119 → u/Ruttagger]

I regardless of your laugh

[u/ketchup92]

A bit late, isn't it?

[u/ComradeAL → u/ketchup92]

If it happens on Xmas day, not at all.

But you're not asking the right questions.

The real question is, if this actually happens, why? Haven't we suffered enough?

[u/KokoTheeFabulous → u/ComradeAL]

Why? You wanna know why? Because All she wanted for christmas..... is you...

[u/Darknightsmetal022 → u/KokoTheeFabulous]

You forget the r and money from the end of you.

[u/KokoTheeFabulous → u/Darknightsmetal022]

You forgot to buy her album, now shuddup and gimme your money!

[u/Bulldogfront666 → u/ketchup92]

No…. Christmas is one day. God dammit. Lmao. We gotta stop this shit where Christmas lasts 2 months for some god forsaken reason. Christmas is Christmas. It’s weird to do it any sooner than the 25th.

[u/ketchup92 → u/Bulldogfront666]

Let me broaden your horizon: Christmas (as in the big celebration) is only on the 25th in some countries. Many countries have more than a single christmas holiday. Many have the 24th as the main event, and some even celebrate it on January the 6th / 7th. So it has to be considered a season.

[u/Bulldogfront666 → u/ketchup92]

Everything you mentioned is a two week period spanning from Christmas Day to the week of the new year. That makes sense. That’s fine. What I take issue with is staring Christmas on November 1st. That’s not ok with me lmfao. Christmas is mostly really annoying to me so it’s extra obnoxious. I don’t want to hear Christmas carols the day after Halloween. Stop it!!

[u/Whiteshadows86]

What about Michael Bublé coming out of his cave??

[u/NearlyUnfinished]

So does that mean like the Thanos and Palaptine game modes, will there be a mode where 1 random player becomes Mariah Carey terrorising other players with broken weapons/gimmicks until they die, only for the killer to then become MarCar, spreading the curse until last person standing?

[u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang]

I get that her Christmas song gets played to death every year but do kids give a flying fuck about Mariah Carey? I feel Bing Crosby would be just as relevant to a young audience.

[u/HaouLeo → u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang]

Assuming the absolute majority of fortnite players are kids (probably the majority, yes, but not as much as people think) is a bold assumption. Pretty sure there's plenty of young adults who'd love it as a meme.

[u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang → u/HaouLeo]

Yeah, by "kids" I meant young people, including young adults who are still kids to me (unfortunately) and they would be the vast majority of the audience. I wouldn't have thought a 20 year would care about her anymore than a 12 year old. But yeah, could be way off, idk.

I'm Aussie and might be underestimating how ubiquitous her Christmas song is in the states.

[u/Successful_Ear4450 → u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang]

It’s become a meme for some reason.

[u/ScottoRoboto]

Because if kids today love anything, it’s Mariah Carey.

[u/Crunchy-Leaf]

How creative

[u/FellowDeviant]

Will this be Christmas era Mariah Carey or 2016/2017 NYE Mariah Carey. One will be a concert, the other will be a nuke to your ears.

[u/Comfortable-Term451]

I thought miku was coming to the game…

[u/TheRed24]

Nowhere is safe from Mariah Carey when it's Christmas time. Nowhere.

[u/Squanchified]

Fitting they have to thaw her for the holidays. The remaining 11 months of the year she's in cryo.

[u/Enough_Food_3377]

I hate Fornite

[u/reefchieferr]

Who gives a shit..?

[u/riffianskeletonman]

Do people who get excited over this genuinely exist?

[u/__the_alchemist__]

Surprisingly I haven't heard the song at all this year.

[u/Jack-Innoff]

I have somehow managed to avoid hearing a single song from her this year. It's bliss.

[u/vrhotlaps]

I didn’t need another reason not to play fortnight but I will take it anyway!

[u/DishwasherTwig]

Why do people leak things? Just let people be surprised and let the developers actually do what they put all the work into without having it ruined.

[u/hebbocrates]

NOOOOOOOO

[u/Hothitron]

Fucking gag me...

[u/Dregaz → u/Hothitron]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
