Squid Game May Be Serious, but These 22 GIFs Make For Some Hilarious Memes

Squid Game may be an intense, plot-twist-filled watch, but there are still blips of levity sprinkled throughout the Korean drama series. From Oh Il-nam (Player 001) sitting in a corner before playing marbles to Seong Gi-hun (Player 456) awkwardly smiling for his ID photo and furiously licking his dalgona candy, these split-second moments are practically begging for the meme treatment, so I've done just that as a coping mechanism for having no more episodes to watch. Read ahead to see the best GIFs from the show (and save 'em for all your group-chat texting needs, of course), then take our quiz to find out which Squid Game character you are to further fuel your obsession with the hit series.
