Totally agree on most of this But the old man told his strategy about tug of war while they were in the elevator. They just played it over the entrance to the game so that we wouldn't be bored just listening to him talk in the elevator.

And a moment in that tugging scene looked awesome tbh, it's like they were dancing (even though the more I look at it, the more it looks like an oompa loompa dance number from the Johnny Depp version of Willie Wonka's Factory).
Theoretically 1/4 of the players could make it to the end. It's possible for everyone to survive the first (red light green light) and second (honeycomb shape thingy) games. In the third game (tug of war) half will die for sure. In the fourth game (marbles) half will die for sure. In the fifth game (the glass bridge) everyone can survive. And then there's roughly 100 players left in the squid game. Edit:I'm not sure if anyone pointed this out in the replies yet but they would probably just do a kind of tournament until there was only one person left making this not at all a problem.
Sadly given my experience with police in general and specially Mexican police I think that part where they don't believe the traumatized survivor is actually pretty accurate.
In most places, they have to investigate a possibly dangerous situation, even if it turns out to be a waste of time, they have to be sure. Sadly, not many officers follow this law

2:34 when he bumps into the kid and he picks up the drink and puts the straw in it that was all improvised by him and she was looking down because she was trying so hard to not laugh

1:20:38 Sang-woo killed Sae-byeok to prevent her and Gi-hun from ending the game with the majority vote 2-1. I believe he mentioned that somewhere before or during the final game. Another error I noticed in the series, the portraits of remaining players shown during the marbles game, some portraits don't match the character. Such as 196 who was apart of the main cast's team during tug of war, has instead a woman as 196's portrait rather than the timid looking man.
@@leonpaelinck Gi-hun would put up a fight. It'd be easier for Sang-woo to overpower the injured/weak looking Sae-byeok. That, and maybe he was still sentimental about his old friend.
Just wanna point out with the "pretty name, not sure it fits" sin, my impression was always him insulting her character rather than her looks. Ya know.. since she stole his money and all.
"If he doesn't like it, then he should Triangle look for another job." is a joke that will usually not get a laugh, and sometimes get resentment for, but is an absolute gem of a joke. A true underdog of comedy. I will carry that with me forever
Indeed. Instead we're gonna talk about how awkward it is that you actually thought that and didn't realize you were looking at a badly acted predictable string of clichés or didn't care that you were, probably because it gave you something to talk about with your equally stupid and boring friends, so you felt less useless during a pandemic. Fact is, you're still shit and boring and so is the series. Nothing ever changes for boring people.
44:33 Solitary kidney is relatively common condition, affecting about 1 in 750 at the population level. In a group of 456 individuals, having 2 players with only one kidney is certainly above average - but isn't entirely unlikely.
its not even just 456, as his brother was in a previous game. also note, that's 1 in 750 people BORN without a kidney, people also lose kidneys (through donation or injury) and they never specified wether the other one was a birth defect or loss. the point is that he should NEVER have assumed that it was brother based solely on that. the chances of there only being 1 person with a single kidney is nuts..
@@NoahGooder yes! Many times it's only discovered while looking for something else. (You only need one kidney, and can get by even if it is only partially functional). Some people are born with a horseshoe kidney, where 2 kidneys are fused together. (There are also babies born without kidneys, called renal agenesis, but this condition is not survivable).
@@dan-st7ze 100% A lot of the sins they mentioned later make sense that they were building his character and showing how far he'll go for that rush of gambling
I agree with most of this but there is a simple reason the cop put his badge on the body. He was hoping who ever found the body would be the local authorities or someone who would contact them. He doesn't know where he is, so it isn't a bad "backup" plan for help or to have someone investigate near the island.
@@rsalbreiter That's a super fair point. I was thinking more along the lines of pride. "Like whoever killed this person killed a cop" so the station would put in the extra effort to find the killer.
47:39 Actually South Korea has a major issues of “ghost doctors” in which there have been nurses, med students, medical supplies salesmen, performing surgeries. One such major recent case resulted in a young man dying during a cosmetic surgery. So this is one of the many societal issues tackled in Squid Game.
23:23 I totally believe a cop would check their gun, even if they thought it was loaded and nothing had changed. You check your weapon beforehand if you think you might need to use it, it’s good practice because you don’t want to find out something is wrong in a life or death situation
Not to mention counting your ammo. The only thing I could see is (if) it's his service handgun, he should already know its ammo capacity and status. Then again, anything can happen with guns
@@plagueman049 absolutely. I'm a veteran and it's a habit all soldiers have which i assume even police officers have as well. Its not unusual for guys to inspect their weapon and equipment 3 or 4 times, most do it right before reaching the drop zone. Its just reassurance that as long as your equipment is in order your training will see you through to the end
Also it is later explained that the first two chambers of a Korean cop gun are empty and a blank. I would imagine Jun-ho would want to make sure he is using live ammo if he has to shoot.
Still the best thing i've ever watched on Netflix. I came in thinking it would just be one of those fad shows that would die in a month, but I binged the entire thing in a single night without question
I guess it's also the first series you've watched your entire life. Otherwise you would've been bored out of your mind after the first 10 minutes of clichés strung together and you would've predicted how the entire series would go on the basis of the clichés in the next episode and not care to watch the rest to check. A friend of mine watched it and checked it for me and sadly I was correct about everything. I did however think the series wouldn't be as stupidly predictable to make the old man a bored idiot who wanted to play games from his childhood in a dangerous fashion so he could feel alive because that was too obvious, so he was only my second guess for an ending. I have called the show a soap opera before but that's far too generous. Many soap operas have unexpected twists; this shit show did not - it's just shit. It's like rewatching 10 million episodes of a million after school specials with a boring and predictable halloween theme.
@@teleriferchnyfain Good on you for liking it, you do you, but I kinda agree with what the dude is saying (not that you are wrong for liking it). I guess I just couldn't get excited as I saw Kaiji years ago, and felt this kind of game where you can win lot of money but have to put your life on the line thing had already been done long before its release. It didn't felt fresh, original and it was really predictable. It was still enjoyable and some games were fun but personally that's nowhere near the best thing I've watched.
1:08:03 It actually is more fair since everybody has an equal chance of survival depending on which vest they pick. If they went in their already assigned number then the front ones will almost certainly die.
3:24 people in Korea get amazing skilled at those claw games. Playing multiple rounds to move failed attempts in order to stage the item they actually want for easier access.
Something cool you missed is that the “Dinner room” the 3 final contestants eat in, has a *circle* floor, with a *square* checker pattern with a *triangle* shaped table in the middle. Same for the coin, deciding the roles in Game 6, a *circle* coin with *triangle* and *square* on it.
@@henryapplebottom7231 the game staff are organized by shape (you can think of them as symbolic representations of their ranking). those shapes include circles, squares, and triangles. so the original commenter is noting the presence of those shapes in the final episode (which most people probably didnt notice).
I loved the touch of having the SinWon conversions. Unless he didn't change the rate anywhere in the video, I believe the final tally is about 504-505 sins. Edit: It appears that they do change the rate throughout the video and a manual recount is required. I will have to do that lol
Nothing like translating the sins into a different currency because it's not an American movie. lol I'm hoping they do it to my country too but we don't make anything sins worthy, I mean we make bad stuff, But not bad enough to make a good video about lol
Fun fact: The actual sin count is: 458 US sins Mostly because at 10:52, the sin to sinwon conversion rate is changed from 1,187 to 1,166.6. And please tell me if im wrong, because i probably am. ( i think i missed it by one US sin though)
8:13 I will say that the recruitment method was obviously not just to see who needed the cash. It was also to see who would be weak willed enough to participate. To see just how desperate they are, they had them play the game and get slapped if they couldn't pay, because no normal person would put up with it. By doing the recruitment process, they see how desperate someone is for cash, even to the point of physical harm.
I think they were also testing their impulsivity because the recruiter didn't mention the slap was an option until after Gi-hun lost yet he played regardless
I finally was able to watch through the episode and all I can think about is how the narrator went to the bathroom at the end and deserves a sin because I didn’t hear him wash his hands…
Wow! Never realized how awful the English dub was!! Makes me soooo glad that I watched with subtitles, I wouldn’t have made it passed episode 1 for sure, thinking that it was a low budget and awful show!
At 1:19:20 Jun-Ho falls straight down the side of the cliff. How is he then HUNDREDS of yards/meters out to sea at 1:19:30?? That definitely needs a sin!
1:13:26 A missed golden opportunity for the glass NOT to break. The tension of still being alive and attempting to get out of the new terrifying position would be much more intense.
28:51 The "All the games" sin, you dinged it but forgot to add to the total! 52:51 Jun-ho is NOT texting notes and pictures. He's on an island in butt-fuck nowhere that's clearly supposed to be uninhabited to anyone outside of this organization (hence the Red Light arena having a retractable roof), where there clearly would be zero reception. He is taking notes and evidence to hopefully send LATER when he hopefully has reception. He isn't sending anything at this time. 1:12:09 No, Gi-hun DID NOT forget which is the right one, a mistake Sae-byeok makes as well. This is one of the few chances to compare the correct glass with the breakable glass, he's trying to see if he can spot a difference in case he has to choose later. He's trying to learn. 1:28:05 Sae-byeok is generally a model in real life, such red hair is her signature. Gi-hun getting that colour hair is a nod to her, an inside joke for people who know her outside this show.
@@MyRandomOpinionsXO: It's been I think 2 years, but I BELIEVE back then I read a couple of places that, no, this is a written-in-the-script reference/nod to Sae-byeok, for those who are familiar with her and can recognize it for what it is. I BELIEVE in both cases it's the same shocking BRIGHT red, to make the connection obvious. :)
Thank you for mentioning Exploding Kittens! Also, how do they recruit the guards and other staff for these games? The pay must be excellent if no one has squealed on them yet.
I’m sure they’ll explore that angle in s2 but the whole sub plot with jun ho and his brother being the front man implies possibly or at least partially from the games themselves. Or there was a theory when it came out about the colors of the envelopes matching the staff/player uniforms but personally can’t see how’d that work. If the players win they get the money and to live a mostly normal life but like what would the staff get and where’s the stakes for them.
I like the theory that when you play against the recruiter, you are choosing your team in the game. Everyone playing the games picked the Blue square and they were on the blue team. What we didn't see is the people on the red team chose the red square. I'm not personally sure what their end game was though.
@@fakebobbyhill296 yeah. It turns out that it has more to do with the Korean myth about red toilet paper and blue toilet paper than it has to do with determining whether someone is player or guard.
@@plagueman049 in Korea we believe if you turn white toilet paper red with a wipe, you’re going to have 7 years bad luck, but if you turn it blue, you’re going to win a squid game
The problem with the Squid Game is that premeditated, planned organized serial killing and/or mass murder, extortion, death threats, abduction, public endangerement and terrorism are being repeatedly perpetrated.
1:25:10 ok, so I’ve been playing a drinking game this whole video. I take a shot for every time you censor yourself…now I’m realizing that this was a bad idea
That would give me nightmare if I knew an 8 year ago was the Squid game master. If she didn't hesitate to pull the trigger and killed her father without crying, then she could have easily got away with anything.
40:07 yes the numbers are in order. Remove that sin won. You have to look at it horizontally. If you look further down you see the tip of 068, 069, and 070 touching. They're all touching just the tip.
the sin given about the daughters birthday and the game time is arguably invalid cauase the amount of time taken after the first game where everyone was sent home wasnt explicit
1:21:59 I watched episode 1 saying I wouldn’t binge the whole thing Cut to 8 hours later at 6 in the morning where I just stayed up all night watching the whole series
listen i thought that "triangle look for another job" was fkin hilarious. you nailed that one and so i take off every sin for every sin everyone in the comment section has given you.
What was the point of the contracts? Were they going to sue the players for not adhering to the rules of their kidnapping/murder game in the court system?
@@grim_reaperkll1621 yes they can. No matter what territory you are in, period, you can not make killing another person intentionally without cause. The contracts are merely an illusion waved in the contestants' faces to throw them off balance. Also, just, idk, allowing the clause 3 scene to happen
It is to sort of to say "see, they're willingly signing up for these games!" When in reality the people signing literally have no choice to, it's play and die trying or not play and die anyways. It's to make the hosts feel good about themselves, basically.
surely cause they use it for id the mask with scanners so maybe the gamemaker also have an embedded chip in the mask but still a dumb move since anyone can wear these masks
Sin for you: the average male height in the USA is 5'9" while the average male height in Korea is 5'7" - 5'8". I know, I know it's nitpicking, but, it's kinda what we do here
His point still stands though, even more so now since Korean men's height average is slightly shorter than American men. That playground is way too big 😂
@@makelizabeth272 while his point still stands, it would be less so as he based the height of the slide off the average height of the men in the crowd meaning it would be considered as shorter therefore the percentage difference would be lower
also you explain how sins are being converted to sinwon and then state that you are "taking off a sinwon" for various reasons but they take off the value of a sin in sinwon instead of taking off a single sinwon as you had instructed. for this I'd like to give the editing team 1,187 sinwon.
avengers, predator, billy Madison, the mask, back to the future, the Monty python, the cable guy, star wars, the matrix and the labyrinth those references were amazing
1:15:42 even with perfect luck there was zero way everyone would’ve survived in a perfect scenario even with luck at 10. First no one has to screw up or run out of time in red light green light which is definitely doable, (which is kinda funny to imagine cause they still wouldn’t know about the death part and episode 2 wouldn’t have happened) then yea honeycomb is still theoretically possible for everyone to survive, then in this perfect scenario no one is gonna die during the fighting cause they still think this is a odd but somewhat legal thing going on but definitely half of these dudes are dying on tug of war then another half on marbles leaving 1/4 of the original start. (114) lastly the first player has to do a coin flip 16 times and win every time which is 0.001526% possible and has less then 10 minutes to make those 16 decisions, get everyone across the bridge, and make sure no one dies or gets stabbed from the exploding glass. Possible but so improbable it might as well be impossible. So yea best case scenario there are still 114 people not 456. (Oh yea and this is also considering the people who left stayed but since they wouldn’t know this was a death game till tug of war there wouldn’t be a vote till then or maybe even at all)
True but I think he was only talking about the glass bridge game as he says previous game. Still basically impossible but lots more could have survived if there were less murders and #13 had revealed his glass experience sooner
Statistically everyone should want as many people to survive as possible, so all the scenes of the players trying to fight or kill each other were pretty stupid since the characters in the show said they were basically doing it to increase their odds of winning. More people = more margin for error. Also, the red hair at the end is a statement. Something about revenge. I looked it up awhile ago and don't care enough to recheck
A Sin for the ridiculousness of the ONLY purpose of the Front Man's mask containing a voice-changer is for the show's writers dealing with the undercover cop possibly being able to recognize his own brother's voice. Which is ridiculous because because the Front Man would have either 1.) known his undercover police brother would come looking for him or 2.) his voice is so distinct that anyone else listening would know who he is. Which presents even more Sins because it hurts my brain to think more of it.
at 1:03:54 the frontmans gun has the hammer up even if he pulled the trigger it would do nothing as a 1911 cocks back dropping the hammer and chambering a round so not only is the barrel empty but even if there is a bullet inside it wont fire as the hammer cant hit the primer
its actually cool how the hell episode foreshadows there death with north korean girl using a knife and dying by knife sang wu wet in a suit and dying in the rain in a suit and in general all the mcs have this its pretty cool
If I had to muddle through reading subtitles FAST to get what happening…I most likely wouldn’t have stuck with it…the very FACT that it was dubbed WELL was what got me addicted. Next!!!
in my mind I sin the subtitled version for making me read, though to be fair ever since having a stroke I cant really read the subs so maybe a sin for the clot that broke my brain?
It is actually known that doctors will give patients over to less qualified individuals. At least in Korea, in the elective surgery hospitals. The plastic surgeon with the name on the surgery can make way more in consultations than in any surgery so they'll hang out until the patient knocks out maybe do some opening incisions and then leave them to the other surgeon. We know about this because there was a major true crime case where the doctor that finished a particular patients surgery somehow was stupid enough not to care that the patient lost 2/3 of his blood post operation
I heard about this. Ghost doctors. People pay premium prices for the top qualified doctors and they pay some of the fee to a lesser doctor and pocket the rest and people have been botched or killed. I think they are trying to change the law so that cameras will be required in surgery rooms.

Then why didn't he just stab the main character instead?
@@leonpaelinck Gi-hun would put up a fight.
It'd be easier for Sang-woo to overpower the injured/weak looking Sae-byeok.
That, and maybe he was still sentimental about his old friend.
@@leonpaelinck one does not simply just stab the main character to death
Just wanna point out with the "pretty name, not sure it fits" sin, my impression was always him insulting her character rather than her looks. Ya know.. since she stole his money and all.
"If he doesn't like it, then he should Triangle look for another job." is a joke that will usually not get a laugh, and sometimes get resentment for, but is an absolute gem of a joke. A true underdog of comedy. I will carry that with me forever
“I’m getting better”
“No your not you’ll be stone dead in a moment” killed me🤣
1:13:25 Are we just gonna not talk about how awkward it would've been if the glass didn't break when they both fell?
I think it helps that the ol' dude was heavier than the majority of the other players.
Or if it was the hardened glass and it broke because 2 people fucking fell on it with full force
Imagine ,then everyone is trapped cuz the Other plate is normal glass XD
Indeed. Instead we're gonna talk about how awkward it is that you actually thought that and didn't realize you were looking at a badly acted predictable string of clichés or didn't care that you were, probably because it gave you something to talk about with your equally stupid and boring friends, so you felt less useless during a pandemic. Fact is, you're still shit and boring and so is the series. Nothing ever changes for boring people.
44:33 Solitary kidney is relatively common condition, affecting about 1 in 750 at the population level. In a group of 456 individuals, having 2 players with only one kidney is certainly above average - but isn't entirely unlikely.
its not even just 456, as his brother was in a previous game. also note, that's 1 in 750 people BORN without a kidney, people also lose kidneys (through donation or injury) and they never specified wether the other one was a birth defect or loss. the point is that he should NEVER have assumed that it was brother based solely on that. the chances of there only being 1 person with a single kidney is nuts..
wait people can be born with one kidney?
@@NoahGooder yes! Many times it's only discovered while looking for something else. (You only need one kidney, and can get by even if it is only partially functional). Some people are born with a horseshoe kidney, where 2 kidneys are fused together. (There are also babies born without kidneys, called renal agenesis, but this condition is not survivable).
"Wait, is Gi-hun a Jedi"
Yes, yes he is 😂
I’m just confused why the mystery box had a gun lighter in it when it was in a claw machine full of SOFT TOYS! 🤣
exactly it was clearly a kids game and that was def not a kids prize. lawsuit please.
i agree, and the argument they were going with was why he actually picked the box. I like to think he picked the box because he is a chronic gambler.
@@dan-st7ze 100% A lot of the sins they mentioned later make sense that they were building his character and showing how far he'll go for that rush of gambling
@@itsbreebabe It’s foreshadowing I think. They play children’s games with insane consequences.
I agree with most of this but there is a simple reason the cop put his badge on the body. He was hoping who ever found the body would be the local authorities or someone who would contact them. He doesn't know where he is, so it isn't a bad "backup" plan for help or to have someone investigate near the island.
To be fair, I'd like to think they'd investigate the dead body whether or not it had a badge on it
@@rsalbreiter That's a super fair point. I was thinking more along the lines of pride. "Like whoever killed this person killed a cop" so the station would put in the extra effort to find the killer.
odd, i interpreted it as the cop trying to get the staff off his trail, even only temporarily to increase his odds of survival
47:39
Actually South Korea has a major issues of “ghost doctors” in which there have been nurses, med students, medical supplies salesmen, performing surgeries. One such major recent case resulted in a young man dying during a cosmetic surgery. So this is one of the many societal issues tackled in Squid Game.
Oh! Oh no!
23:23 I totally believe a cop would check their gun, even if they thought it was loaded and nothing had changed. You check your weapon beforehand if you think you might need to use it, it’s good practice because you don’t want to find out something is wrong in a life or death situation
Exactly
Not to mention counting your ammo. The only thing I could see is (if) it's his service handgun, he should already know its ammo capacity and status.
Then again, anything can happen with guns
@@plagueman049 absolutely. I'm a veteran and it's a habit all soldiers have which i assume even police officers have as well. Its not unusual for guys to inspect their weapon and equipment 3 or 4 times, most do it right before reaching the drop zone. Its just reassurance that as long as your equipment is in order your training will see you through to the end
Also it is later explained that the first two chambers of a Korean cop gun are empty and a blank. I would imagine Jun-ho would want to make sure he is using live ammo if he has to shoot.
Still the best thing i've ever watched on Netflix. I came in thinking it would just be one of those fad shows that would die in a month, but I binged the entire thing in a single night without question
Well, KDramas in general are the best thing on Netflix lol
Try "Dark" , The besf show on Netflix
I guess it's also the first series you've watched your entire life. Otherwise you would've been bored out of your mind after the first 10 minutes of clichés strung together and you would've predicted how the entire series would go on the basis of the clichés in the next episode and not care to watch the rest to check. A friend of mine watched it and checked it for me and sadly I was correct about everything.
I did however think the series wouldn't be as stupidly predictable to make the old man a bored idiot who wanted to play games from his childhood in a dangerous fashion so he could feel alive because that was too obvious, so he was only my second guess for an ending.
I have called the show a soap opera before but that's far too generous. Many soap operas have unexpected twists; this shit show did not - it's just shit. It's like rewatching 10 million episodes of a million after school specials with a boring and predictable halloween theme.
@@stylis666 BS pure & simple. Also I’ve seen over 500 KDramas over the past 11 years so big fail on your part there
@@teleriferchnyfain Good on you for liking it, you do you, but I kinda agree with what the dude is saying (not that you are wrong for liking it). I guess I just couldn't get excited as I saw Kaiji years ago, and felt this kind of game where you can win lot of money but have to put your life on the line thing had already been done long before its release. It didn't felt fresh, original and it was really predictable. It was still enjoyable and some games were fun but personally that's nowhere near the best thing I've watched.
1:08:03 It actually is more fair since everybody has an equal chance of survival depending on which vest they pick. If they went in their already assigned number then the front ones will almost certainly die.
3:24 people in Korea get amazing skilled at those claw games. Playing multiple rounds to move failed attempts in order to stage the item they actually want for easier access.
"a jerk is a tug, a tug is a boat, a boat floats on water, water is nature and nature is beautiful"
quote i must remember
Something cool you missed is that the “Dinner room” the 3 final contestants eat in, has a *circle* floor, with a *square* checker pattern with a *triangle* shaped table in the middle. Same for the coin, deciding the roles in Game 6, a *circle* coin with *triangle* and *square* on it.
Huh.
@@henryapplebottom7231 the game staff are organized by shape (you can think of them as symbolic representations of their ranking). those shapes include circles, squares, and triangles. so the original commenter is noting the presence of those shapes in the final episode (which most people probably didnt notice).
@@anonwa4309 the fact that either of you actually believe that people missed that shit is absolutely ridiculous
@@doomdoomxi never said i thought people didnt notice. I just saw that he didnt mention it
Thank you, Squid Games, for making me appreciate the skilled dubbing used in those old Godzilla and Mothra movies.
Ha!
I loved the touch of having the SinWon conversions. Unless he didn't change the rate anywhere in the video, I believe the final tally is about 504-505 sins.
Edit: It appears that they do change the rate throughout the video and a manual recount is required. I will have to do that lol
Any updates?
I think they died.
@@tetric15 rumor has it that they're still counting to this very day 😱
Nothing like translating the sins into a different currency because it's not an American movie. lol I'm hoping they do it to my country too but we don't make anything sins worthy, I mean we make bad stuff, But not bad enough to make a good video about lol
@@daver00lzd00d what if I just take on the role myself?
Fun fact: The actual sin count is: 458 US sins
Mostly because at 10:52, the sin to sinwon conversion rate is changed from 1,187 to 1,166.6.
And please tell me if im wrong, because i probably am. ( i think i missed it by one US sin though)
when I searched it up all tallied at the end it was 463 so im thinking it might be somewhat off but really close
thank you i was looking for this
I feel it’s about right again exchange rates are wild to this very day yet again I can’t do simple math
8:13 I will say that the recruitment method was obviously not just to see who needed the cash. It was also to see who would be weak willed enough to participate. To see just how desperate they are, they had them play the game and get slapped if they couldn't pay, because no normal person would put up with it. By doing the recruitment process, they see how desperate someone is for cash, even to the point of physical harm.
I think they were also testing their impulsivity because the recruiter didn't mention the slap was an option until after Gi-hun lost yet he played regardless
@@raheeeg Very true! He didn't think of the consequences
I was confused by why Gi-Hun asked for chocolate milk if he's lactose intolerant. Chocolate milk has lactose in it too.
This is late but it's to highlight he's a brat. 001 even mentioned having a son that would do the same thing.
I find my lactose intolerance is less severe the higher the fat content, like chocolate and some chocolate milks. Skim milk is corrosive to me tho.
I finally was able to watch through the episode and all I can think about is how the narrator went to the bathroom at the end and deserves a sin because I didn’t hear him wash his hands…
Wow! Never realized how awful the English dub was!! Makes me soooo glad that I watched with subtitles, I wouldn’t have made it passed episode 1 for sure, thinking that it was a low budget and awful show!
At 1:19:20 Jun-Ho falls straight down the side of the cliff. How is he then HUNDREDS of yards/meters out to sea at 1:19:30?? That definitely needs a sin!
Couldn't stop laughing after "your mouth is only the 5th most uncomfortable place to put a bankcard"
I'm still salty about Ali dying tbh 😭🥲
same here !:(
1:13:26
A missed golden opportunity for the glass NOT to break. The tension of still being alive and attempting to get out of the new terrifying position would be much more intense.
tbh the both would’ve probably fell off anyway but instead of through the glass just awkwardly sliding down either on the side or between 2 panels
28:51 The "All the games" sin, you dinged it but forgot to add to the total!
52:51 Jun-ho is NOT texting notes and pictures. He's on an island in butt-fuck nowhere that's clearly supposed to be uninhabited to anyone outside of this organization (hence the Red Light arena having a retractable roof), where there clearly would be zero reception. He is taking notes and evidence to hopefully send LATER when he hopefully has reception. He isn't sending anything at this time.
1:12:09 No, Gi-hun DID NOT forget which is the right one, a mistake Sae-byeok makes as well. This is one of the few chances to compare the correct glass with the breakable glass, he's trying to see if he can spot a difference in case he has to choose later. He's trying to learn.
1:28:05 Sae-byeok is generally a model in real life, such red hair is her signature. Gi-hun getting that colour hair is a nod to her, an inside joke for people who know her outside this show.
I thought it was because he picked the blue envelope, like a little act of rebellion.
@@MyRandomOpinionsXO: It's been I think 2 years, but I BELIEVE back then I read a couple of places that, no, this is a written-in-the-script reference/nod to Sae-byeok, for those who are familiar with her and can recognize it for what it is. I BELIEVE in both cases it's the same shocking BRIGHT red, to make the connection obvious. :)
knowing so many of these sins are just jokes makes me feel better about watching the show
Thank you for mentioning Exploding Kittens! Also, how do they recruit the guards and other staff for these games? The pay must be excellent if no one has squealed on them yet.
Exploding Kittens is amazingly fun.
I hope it'll be explored more in season 2
Great pay for guards + hiring psychopaths that can still occasionally kill people (like in the marbles game).
I’m sure they’ll explore that angle in s2 but the whole sub plot with jun ho and his brother being the front man implies possibly or at least partially from the games themselves.
Or there was a theory when it came out about the colors of the envelopes matching the staff/player uniforms but personally can’t see how’d that work. If the players win they get the money and to live a mostly normal life but like what would the staff get and where’s the stakes for them.
I like the theory that when you play against the recruiter, you are choosing your team in the game. Everyone playing the games picked the Blue square and they were on the blue team. What we didn't see is the people on the red team chose the red square. I'm not personally sure what their end game was though.
It's a good theory, but I think it's been debunked.
@@pineforest1442 I didn’t see that but I still like the theory.
@@fakebobbyhill296 yeah. It turns out that it has more to do with the Korean myth about red toilet paper and blue toilet paper than it has to do with determining whether someone is player or guard.
@@pineforest1442 wait wait wait. American here. Myth about W H A T ?
@@plagueman049 in Korea we believe if you turn white toilet paper red with a wipe, you’re going to have 7 years bad luck, but if you turn it blue, you’re going to win a squid game
"Suger honeycombs is not a game, it's a cereal. 'merica!"
Ok, that got me laughing
A pretty good cereal too!
The problem with the Squid Game is that premeditated, planned organized serial killing and/or mass murder, extortion, death threats, abduction, public endangerement and terrorism are being repeatedly perpetrated.
1:25:10 ok, so I’ve been playing a drinking game this whole video. I take a shot for every time you censor yourself…now I’m realizing that this was a bad idea
That would give me nightmare if I knew an 8 year ago was the Squid game master. If she didn't hesitate to pull the trigger and killed her father without crying, then she could have easily got away with anything.
I've never laughed so much at "Sins" whether TV or Movie, I love Sins!!

Finding his address being easy is obvious since many countries have a policy where you need to tell the government your address whenever you move.
18:03 he says: “I’m a police officer” but the subtitles say “I’m a police offer”
is it possible to sin TVsins for that
1:05:24 I love how he bites a apple according to his clichè
Those final little edits were perfect, worth the hour just for that
37:13 surprised that TvSins didn’t sin the fact that he’s a doctor… that’s Poor
Ding!
Just in case y'all wanted to know the actual number of sins is 504.
“Is Gi-Hun a Jedi??” is crazzzyyyyyy
40:07 yes the numbers are in order. Remove that sin won. You have to look at it horizontally. If you look further down you see the tip of 068, 069, and 070 touching. They're all touching just the tip.
I've been scrolling to see if anyone else commented this too lol. The numbers are definitely in order
Aww I was kinda excited to watch this video
But there's no way in hell I'm sitting through 1h40 of the gag-inducing dub
the sin given about the daughters birthday and the game time is arguably invalid cauase the amount of time taken after the first game where everyone was sent home wasnt explicit
1:21:59 I watched episode 1 saying I wouldn’t binge the whole thing
Cut to 8 hours later at 6 in the morning where I just stayed up all night watching the whole series
listen i thought that "triangle look for another job" was fkin hilarious. you nailed that one and so i take off every sin for every sin everyone in the comment section has given you.
“You mean to tell me number 69 can’t do anything without their partner? Nice” hahaha
What was the point of the contracts? Were they going to sue the players for not adhering to the rules of their kidnapping/murder game in the court system?
If the person win they can’t sue em
I think the contract is unenforceable, null and void.
@@grim_reaperkll1621 yes they can. No matter what territory you are in, period, you can not make killing another person intentionally without cause.
The contracts are merely an illusion waved in the contestants' faces to throw them off balance.
Also, just, idk, allowing the clause 3 scene to happen
@@charlieangkor8649 correctamundo. They only enable the Clause 3 scene, and that's it
They're an illusion
It is to sort of to say "see, they're willingly signing up for these games!" When in reality the people signing literally have no choice to, it's play and die trying or not play and die anyways. It's to make the hosts feel good about themselves, basically.
Missed opportunity to say "Inspector Royale" when Gi-Hun won
About the facial scans for the masks, I think there's some kind of chip or code within them that actually works as their id access
surely cause they use it for id the mask with scanners so maybe the gamemaker also have an embedded chip in the mask but still a dumb move since anyone can wear these masks
@@artobaront3105 yes but then you wouldn't need me cops every time you killed or lost a guard either. Reduce, reuse, recycle 🤷🏾♂️
Sin for you: the average male height in the USA is 5'9" while the average male height in Korea is 5'7" - 5'8". I know, I know it's nitpicking, but, it's kinda what we do here
His point still stands though, even more so now since Korean men's height average is slightly shorter than American men. That playground is way too big 😂
@@makelizabeth272 while his point still stands, it would be less so as he based the height of the slide off the average height of the men in the crowd meaning it would be considered as shorter therefore the percentage difference would be lower
The average male height in korea is actually 5’10”
Probably Mexicans dragging the average down
@@aviatorraj7820 5’10 on their feet,
34:54 Fun fact, the finnish word for "egg" also means "dick". This joke is multilingual.
Huh.
also you explain how sins are being converted to sinwon and then state that you are "taking off a sinwon" for various reasons but they take off the value of a sin in sinwon instead of taking off a single sinwon as you had instructed. for this I'd like to give the editing team 1,187 sinwon.
1:16:32, they went through 5 games in 3 weeks but we have to keep in mind that they were sent back home for a while.
I couldn’t stop laughing at “...squid maim” 😂 wtf I’m adding a Sin for that 😆
100B Sin won for calling Gi Hun "Sae Hyong" a hundred times
😂 right that’s his family name.
avengers, predator, billy Madison, the mask, back to the future, the Monty python, the cable guy, star wars, the matrix and the labyrinth those references were amazing

Everything wrong with TVSins: 43:46 no sins were added in the upper left corner, despite it being announced and hearing the *ding*!
I think the real question is: Does he GET to keep the pig?
1:15:42 even with perfect luck there was zero way everyone would’ve survived in a perfect scenario even with luck at 10. First no one has to screw up or run out of time in red light green light which is definitely doable, (which is kinda funny to imagine cause they still wouldn’t know about the death part and episode 2 wouldn’t have happened) then yea honeycomb is still theoretically possible for everyone to survive, then in this perfect scenario no one is gonna die during the fighting cause they still think this is a odd but somewhat legal thing going on but definitely half of these dudes are dying on tug of war then another half on marbles leaving 1/4 of the original start. (114) lastly the first player has to do a coin flip 16 times and win every time which is 0.001526% possible and has less then 10 minutes to make those 16 decisions, get everyone across the bridge, and make sure no one dies or gets stabbed from the exploding glass. Possible but so improbable it might as well be impossible. So yea best case scenario there are still 114 people not 456. (Oh yea and this is also considering the people who left stayed but since they wouldn’t know this was a death game till tug of war there wouldn’t be a vote till then or maybe even at all)
True but I think he was only talking about the glass bridge game as he says previous game. Still basically impossible but lots more could have survived if there were less murders and #13 had revealed his glass experience sooner
You forgot about... the squid game
Bro fr guessed Gi Han being a Jedi lol , the acolyte is so bad
Thanks for spending so much time on this! I loved the whole thing 😆
The “slim shady“ ABSOLUTELY sent me 😭😭🤣🤣🤣
He dyes his hair red to represent the power he feels over squid games. The oppressors he saw had red hair. That’s why he chose red
12:53 so clause 3 says if all the players agree to stop but then they have a majority vote?
Think that was a miss translation. The games stop if the majority of players agree to stop playing.
Man, this feels like the most CinemaSin-like TVSin video to have ever sinned.
TVSins: 1 million sins for watching it in English dubbed vs. Subbed.
Really surprised the land line phone being used on a secret island didn’t get a sin
Statistically everyone should want as many people to survive as possible, so all the scenes of the players trying to fight or kill each other were pretty stupid since the characters in the show said they were basically doing it to increase their odds of winning. More people = more margin for error.
Also, the red hair at the end is a statement. Something about revenge. I looked it up awhile ago and don't care enough to recheck
yeah that riot really made no sense. Also, starting a fight puts yourself in more danger than it's worth
A Sin for the ridiculousness of the ONLY purpose of the Front Man's mask containing a voice-changer is for the show's writers dealing with the undercover cop possibly being able to recognize his own brother's voice. Which is ridiculous because because the Front Man would have either 1.) known his undercover police brother would come looking for him or 2.) his voice is so distinct that anyone else listening would know who he is. Which presents even more Sins because it hurts my brain to think more of it.
"Convenient marblesh*t" the portmanteau I didn't know I needed!! 😂
The dubbed version sounds like anime voice actors are voicing it
at 1:03:54 the frontmans gun has the hammer up even if he pulled the trigger it would do nothing as a 1911 cocks back dropping the hammer and chambering a round so not only is the barrel empty but even if there is a bullet inside it wont fire as the hammer cant hit the primer
I feel like a lot of these sins are because of misunderstandings of their culture 😂
Yesss. I LOVE YOU TVSin!!! I immediately thought, "why not tight rope this $hi! Don't stand on the glass, at all."
its actually cool how the hell episode foreshadows there death with north korean girl using a knife and dying by knife sang wu wet in a suit and dying in the rain in a suit and in general all the mcs have this its pretty cool
If I had to muddle through reading subtitles FAST to get what happening…I most likely wouldn’t have stuck with it…the very FACT that it was dubbed WELL was what got me addicted. Next!!!
in my mind I sin the subtitled version for making me read, though to be fair ever since having a stroke I cant really read the subs so maybe a sin for the clot that broke my brain?
DING
It is actually known that doctors will give patients over to less qualified individuals. At least in Korea, in the elective surgery hospitals. The plastic surgeon with the name on the surgery can make way more in consultations than in any surgery so they'll hang out until the patient knocks out maybe do some opening incisions and then leave them to the other surgeon. We know about this because there was a major true crime case where the doctor that finished a particular patients surgery somehow was stupid enough not to care that the patient lost 2/3 of his blood post operation
I heard about this. Ghost doctors. People pay premium prices for the top qualified doctors and they pay some of the fee to a lesser doctor and pocket the rest and people have been botched or killed.
I think they are trying to change the law so that cameras will be required in surgery rooms.
