Imagine you are broke, homeless, and have been subject to all of life's trials and tribulations. You don't see the light at the end of the tunnel and there's simply no way out for you. Suddenly, you meet a shady-looking man at a subway station and he extends you an olive branch.
Would you take it, without knowing what kinds of games these people have in store for you? Well I wouldn't, I'd have preferred to sell a kidney instead. But thankfully, courtesy of the impulsive and naive characters in the show, we got ourselves the hit television series The Squid Game.
Season 2 just dropped by and the show is better than ever before. The Squid Game franchise has garnered a massive fan following in such a short period and has got people all over the world talking about it.
Squid Games has become a cultural sensation now. Games such as "Red Light-Green Light" and "Tug of War" were shown in a light never seen before and were immortalized through their memefication.
One big takeaway from season 2 was the emergence of Player 456 who hilariously was the poster boy for poor financial decisions and questionable life choices. He quickly became a meme icon for his sheer valor and courage. Hats off to him!
Squid Game might have been a make-it-or-break-it situation for the players, but for us, it was a comedy-filled extravaganza. This inevitably gave rise to countless Squid Game memes on social media which mocked anything from the childhood games turned deadly deadly to hilariously bad VIPs.
The internet made sure that even this grim game was turned into a joy-filled ride of incessant laughter! We have corraled up a hilarious collection of 15 Squid Game memes that are sure to leave you laughing like Player 456 and give you a chance to re-live the show again:

Squid Game took the world by storm and has come on leaps and bounds since the release of its pilot episode. While most of us would crash at the first hurdle, it doesn't hurt to have a laugh or two at the expense of the show's hilariously bad authoritarian figures or the show's otherwise well-written characters as well.
As the curtains fell on season 2, we can always look back on the countless memes that it gave us even as we wait for the next installment of the highly-anticipated show. if there's one thing that can be taken out as a life lesson from the show, it's to always check for hidden cameras while playing marbles!
Game Over.
