Squid Game [1] 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) [2] sitting in a corner before playing marbles to Seong Gi-hun (Player 456) [3] awkwardly smiling for his ID photo and furiously licking his dalgona candy [4], 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 [5] character you are to further fuel your obsession with the hit series.
