When I first discovered Studio 188, it was love at first sight. Well, on my side at least. These guys recreate famous movies and TV shows using nothing but household items and their limitless imagination.

Since Squid Game has been all the rage lately, it’s no wonder that they decided to recreate that, too. And just as always: they nailed it!

Terminator 2, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, you name it – they can recreate it, and make you laugh out loud when you see the result.
