Not for the reasons you may expect, the much anticipated Squid Game Season 2 is off to a crazy start. Although viewers have been enthralled by the show's tough games and intense drama, the internet has been going crazy ever since one perceptive fan discovered a blooper in the most recent episode.
Fans quickly turned the gaffe into meme gold when they noticed a cameraman hiding in the backdrop of a tense gunfire scene. As it captured the ridiculousness of the situation, the tweet
"Why’s bro bringing a camera to a gun fight??😭" went viral very fast.
This small error demonstrates that even the greatest teams may miss a shot—or in this case, a cameraman—despite Netflix shows being renowned for their nearly faultless production. Memes, tweets, and jokes spread more quickly on social media than the episode's gunshots, but instead of taking away from the scene's drama, fans used it as a chance to laugh.
Cameraman caught in Squid Game Season 2 gunfight sparks a wave of memes and Twitter jokes
The internet thrives on moments like this, and Squid Game fans didn’t hold back. After the cameraman blooper surfaced, the memes started pouring in, poking fun at how out of place the camera operator looked in the middle of a shootout. One fan tweeted,
"Someone is getting fired from the Squid Game team after one of the cameramen was spotted in the background mid episode 😭😭."
Others were quick to turn the error into something more lighthearted.
"Cameraman never dies"
was one take, referencing the invincibility of the cameraman who, despite the chaos, remained untouched in the scene. Another fan quipped,
"It’s clearly an RPG,"
turning the mishap into a gamer’s joke, as though the cameraman was playing a role-playing game rather than filming a dystopian nightmare.
The creativity didn’t stop there. One meme joked,
"Wrong kind of shooting,"
referencing the cameraman's role in the scene. Another meme read,
"All the cameras were shot, so they needed a live one,"
blending humor with the grim realities of the Squid Game universe. And for those who are always on the lookout for the next big meme, one fan’s hilarious take
—"That’s how war world 3️⃣ video"—
offered a glimpse into how this gaffe might influence meme culture for weeks to come.
The blooper that broke the internet
Many were surprised by this oversight for a show as meticulous as Squid Game. After all, Squid Game's painstaking production and attention to detail have made it a worldwide sensation. However, when viewers noticed the cameraman standing uncomfortably in the background, a scene that was supposed to be full of drama with life-or-death stakes unexpectedly became humorous.
However, fans quickly forgave the blunder and focused on the jokes it sparked. After all, even on the sets of the most well-known shows, errors sometimes occur. As fans from all around the world continue to post their favorite memes about the incident, it's possible that this occurrence helped Squid Game gain even more viral exposure.
Bloopers like these enhance the viewing experience, particularly when they bring a surprising sense of humor to very dramatic passages, as one admirer even noted.
Memorable goof in a global hit
While a few cameraman bloopers may slip through the cracks, it's evident that fans are more than willing to laugh it off and keep watching. The viral moment has not only provided a new set of memes but also added to the show's already massive popularity.
Whether you're tuning in for the drama, the games, or the memes, this show continues to dominate conversations online; with even its bloopers are taking centre stage. Despite this minor production hiccup, Squid Game Season 2 is still one of the most eagerly awaited releases of the year.
