The plot of the new Netflix drama Squid Game is nothing to laugh at. In the show, which might end up being the streaming service’s biggest hit ever, financially strapped people compete in a tournament of kids’ games where losers get killed. Not very funny. But the show has captured the public’s imagination, which of course means memes and jokes. It’s easy to see why. Squid Game has many complex characters, as well as plenty of visually striking scenes and objects (the Dalgona cookies, the game organization’s business card, the outfits). It’s full of meme material, and here are some of the best. (Some show spoilers ahead, be warned.) In one episode, the contestants have to carve a piece of Dalgona candy out of a tin without breaking the shape. It’s not easy, although a smuggled cigarette lighter and eventually some licking get the job done for some players.
