I don't really talk
like this on television.
But I'm shitting myself. How can I put it?
START IMPROV
What's that?
There's a good crowd here.
There are some hotties here!
The crowd is great!
The men here don't seem all that great.
-We'll do well here.
-This works well.
-Now I feel like flirting.
-You like it here?
It's FreeZia.
We should've gone there.
She's insanely beautiful.
I wasn't expecting FreeZia.
A real angel has come to join us.
I'm in Paradise now.
COMEDY REVENGE
CHAPTER 4
KNOCKING ON HEAVEN'S DOOR
We'll do great! The guys here look cool.
Now I feel like flirting.
-It's FreeZia.
-You like it here?
Does it really feel like this?
-I'm so nervous.
-He's hitting on them.
-Do you want a tarot reading?
-I love tarot.
Excuse me.
We're having a serious conversation.
I'm sorry.
Ridiculous.
I just now noticed Ji-yoon.
If you like her, just say so.
MISSION:
THE HUNT BEGINS, SIT TOGETHER
Men are silly.
THE ACTORS HAVE A SCRIP
BUT THE COMEDIANS
ARE AD-LIBBING EVERYTHING
-Gyu-jin, if it's okay with you…
-Yes?
…I want to go for the lady in white.
She's making my heart pound.
They're talking about us.
Just the girl in white? What about me?
When will anyone talk to me?
That scenario doesn't exist?
Can I use an old-school line?
-Use it with confidence.
-Yeah.
Hey, girl in white.
Are you mixed, by any chance?
That's his pickup line?
Why do you ask?
You look like a mix of Korean and heaven.
That was so cheesy.
I can hear the boos.
That really was old school.
I feel like puking.
I wonder how that girl will flirt.
What are you looking at, crazy b?
Wait.
Why did you ruin it?
They keep staring at me.
But still!
Why do they keep staring?
I love how fiery you are.
We seem to be on the same wavelength.
Want to join tables?
SUCCESS
Tell them yes.
Who am I supposed to hit on?
Can you push our table for us?
What about me?
Of all the teams,
they've set the mood best from the start.
Could you tell us your names and ages?
I was born in 2000.
My name is Kim Ro-ha.
-Ro-ha.
-Yes.
-I'm a World Cup baby.
-A Wo-babe.
I was born in 2002.
My name is Lee Heading.
-Your name is Lee Heading?
-Yes.
I was born in 2004.
So you're the youngest one.
-My name is Ruru.
-Ruru.
Just call me Ruru.
Your Chinese name is Fu Bao, right?
Now that we've joined tables,
what do you want to know about us?
Just…
-What's your type?
-What type do you like?
He's just…
It's like he's really trying
to seduce her.
Is Yong-jin married?
-Yes.
-He has a child.
So he's a bad guy.
I like men who are rugged and funny.
-Rugged?
-Yes. Rugged and funny.
A rugged and funny man.
Rugged.
You're so rugged!
The way she said "rugged."
"You're so rugged!"
So rugged.
You're so rugged!
-Kyung-kyu?
-Hey, Kyung-kyu.
Kyung-kyu?
He's about to fall in.
He even took his glasses off.
I wanted to see the type
that men like now.
You can see her from your seat now.
Ro-ha, don't you have a rugged side?
Ji-a likes rugged men.
A woman should pour the drinks.
So I can feed her snacks.
What was that?
It's rugged!
-Ruru, do you have a rugged side?
-Yes?
Want me to show you my heel?
It's rugged.
-Bet it sounds rough.
-It shows the wear and tear of life.
That's rugged.
All right, shall we change up the mood?
You know how people exchange items?
These days, people play
"What's In My Bag."
You show people what's in your bag.
Ji-a, show them yours.
-I will.
-That's so cute.
First, a mirror.
It's Anna Sui.
-And perfume.
-Perfume.
-I use it like this.
-Oh, like that?
Your natural scent is nice.
You don't need it.
-So cheesy.
-Her natural scent.
We showed you what's in our bag.
I noticed earlier that you three
put your bags in your chairs.
MISSION: WHAT'S IN MY BAG
THAT I DIDN'T KNOW WAS THERE
-That's why we put them in?
-So that's why.
Now it'll be an ad-lib battle.
The chair doesn't even open.
-There is a bag.
-It's a nice bag.
I wonder what's in it.
What do I do with this?
-What is it?
-Show us.
-A wallet. It's nice.
-Oh, a wallet!
It's a long wallet.
-Another one?
-Another wallet.
Wait a minute.
-Wait, am I a pickpocket?
-Wait.
A NEVER-ENDING STREAM
OF WALLETS
Why does she have five wallets?
As for the reason…
Gi-ru, we have to make up a reason.
-For this?
-Come up with something.
It's clear I'm a thief.
What reason can excuse that?
If you can, come up with a reason.
We're on the same team.
-You collect your exes' wallets.
-Or…
Since you're wearing red,
people inserted them
thinking you're a post box.
-That's it!
-They put the wallets in.
-Like this.
-Okay! That works.
They put them in to return them.
She survived with his help.
-Gyu-jin.
-Gyu-jin is so clever.
SUCCESS
-And the last one?
-Me?
-Yong-jin.
-What a nice bag.
-Even his bag is unusual.
-It's nice.
See how his bag is unusual?
I see.
-What is it?
-What?
Ta-da.
DIAPERS
Diapers?
-What's that?
-Diapers, no?
Why do you have diapers?
Because
there's been
a lot of air pollution lately.
I use diapers for that.
They're great at blocking.
I've never even gotten COVID.
So you use it as a mask?
Not even once.
-It does seem totally impenetrable.
-Of course.
-Yes.
-You go like this.
It looks really warm.
What's this?
-Wait! Look!
-What's that?
A POSITIVE PREGNANCY TES
-What's that?
-It's positive.
-What?
-Are you married?
It's a COVID test.
-It's positive.
-I told you.
This is a pregnancy test.
-Before, when I got a urine test…
-There's more?
Wait a minute.
-Also positive.
-So he's a married man.
Never mind that. How many are there?
A PACIFIER
Suddenly I'm the father
of several children.
Why's a dad in a singles bar?
If you want a winning housing application,
stick with me.
I'd be number one
on any housing application list.
That was funny.
Yong-jin managed
to get out of that so well.
This is totally untrue. This is just…
-It's time.
-What's happening now?
The highlight of our singles bar,
it's sexy dance battle time!
This bar has such a thing?
-To the first-place winner…
-Is that Armand?
…will go a bottle of Armand!
It's 1,500,000 won retail.
-I want to try it!
-Win it for me!
-Win it.
-Win it for me.
This isn't what I'm used to.
You look hip. Dance for us, please.
-Go on out there.
-She's going.
We start now.
-What?
-Cue the cheers!
The hip-looking one is dancing.
-What's going on?
-What is this?
-No way.
-This isn't fair.
There's another one!
How do we beat that?
Get out there!
I'm not confident in my dancing.
I'm confident in talking
or coming up with ad-libs.
What's he doing?
-Next one up.
-Overcome.
With my do-rag on.
Overcome! Don't lose to it.
That's it! You're doing great!
You're doing great! You've overcome it!
This is chaos.
-Ruru!
-Ruru!
I really can't dance.
You're so cute.
She's great.
She set the mood so well.
That was insane.
We enjoyed watching that.
-I usually don't get up.
-It was great.
The winner of the Armand…
-Drumroll!
-Please.
The Armand goes to this table!
SUCCESS
Congratulations.
-That was so cool.
-That was amazing.
Jeez.
We need to talk,
so we're going to run to the bathroom.
Leave your bags and your phones!
-We'll be back soon.
-Okay.
Are they ditching us?
What's this all of a sudden?
How is she allowed in here?
-She's a married woman.
-Hey.
Where's the owner?
-Whoa!
-What's going on?
Her specialty is playing wealthy ladies.
If she's on, something will happen.
-Someone will get slapped.
-Exactly.
-It's a drama.
-Suddenly it is.
What?
My son-in-law.
RUNNING INTO YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW
AT A SINGLES BAR
-The diapers were suspect.
-I know. And the pregnancy test.
Didn't you say you were going
to a funeral?
This is a hard one to tackle.
Gyu-jin.
You said you were going
with your brother-in-law,
but this is where you were going?
Please calm down.
When she called him son-in-law,
I started exploring being his mistress.
Driver Sin is here.
A driver? That's so random.
-I'm a contributing member here.
-Hey.
-Driver Sin.
-Yes, ma'am?
You're fired immediately.
-Goodness.
-I mean…
That's a bit harsh.
-Ro-ha!
-That's not me.
-Let's go.
-No!
-Why not?
-It's not me.
-I thought about it.
-Ji-yoon, not you!
Shut up, all of you!
-Who are these girls?
-We're going to the next bar.
-The next bar?
-Yes, round two.
What did you say?
-Yong-jin.
-Yes.
Explain the situation.
Or Gyu-jin, you explain!
How will they get out of this?
We just came here to get a drink
with Driver Sin
without knowing it was a singles bar.
These two suddenly came over to us
and started spritzing perfume,
asking us to smell it on them.
That's when I pulled out
some pregnancy tests
and diapers to prove I'm married.
See all this, Mother?
This is Yun-jae's.
-He used his son's name.
-Yun-jae's.
Have all of you gone insane?
What kind of fool do you take me for?
Are you out of your minds?
If you're going to throw it,
just go for it.
You wretch!
These are for this.
The same goes for you.
The same goes for you.
They're ultra-absorbent.
I'll see you at home later.
You're letting me come home after this?
Thank you!
END OF IMPROV
It's over.
It was funny.
-The improv or the acting?
-They were both good.
They acted like stereotypical men.
Big stretch for them.
-It looked really natural.
-Yes.
TEAM PUNCHLINE'S SCORE
When it comes to acting out scenarios,
Team Raspberries has it.
But Team Punchline can't be ruled out.
We'll come in first regardless.
If we don't place first,
it was rigged.
TEAM RASPBERRIES VS TEAM PUNCHLINE
WHO WILL COME OUT ON TOP?
TEAM DEUNGCHON-DONG LAKERS
What is this place?
What's the setting?
What is it this time?
It's closed.
No matter the circumstances,
I want to use Gung-ye.
I have an ace up my sleeve.
That's why I decided to come bald.
We suffered a big setback in Round One.
To recover, we need a good score.
Deungchon-dong Lakers.
We got fifth for Round One.
For Round Two, we'll get first.
Let's go.
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE DEBATE
What is this? A presidential…
Candidates, you're very late!
We're going live in a minute.
Please dress properly.
We're presidential candidates.
How can I be a presidential candidate
looking like this?
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION DEBATE
A presidential debate.
-A presidential debate.
-At their level?
Think they can debate current affairs?
This seems hard.
It's hard.
We're all ignorant. This is bad.
-Let's go back out.
-What?
-Let's go back out.
-Let's…
My mind went blank.
How can we make this funny to win?
I was speechless.
I was so shocked that I nearly left again.
This is the comedy I'm worst at.
The setting was really oppressive.
It was a real presidential debate set.
Here. Hold my hand.
START IMPROV
Hello.
-That scared me.
-It's him.
Jung Kwan-yong.
JUNG KWAN-YONG
He's the moderator
for presidential debates.
This is…
-He's playing a presidential candidate.
-Yes.
This one seems hard.
You have to be smart for jokes
on politics, satire, current events,
and so on.
What's going on?
Seriously, what is this?
Hello, everyone. I'm Jung Kwan-yong.
We now begin our debate among candidates
for the next presidential election.
We will start with opening remarks
from the candidates.
You have 30 seconds.
Introduce yourselves briefly
and talk about your platform.
Candidate Kim Bu-gak of
the National Cheer-Up Party, 30 seconds.
To my respected fellow citizens,
I'm Kim Bu-gak
of the National Cheer-Up Party.
I humbly accept the incredible lead
I have in approval ratings.
I will be the people's friend.
He doesn't even know
what a presidential debate is.
Is it that bad?
I saw the news last
when Sin Chang-won was arrested.
That's pretty recent.
SIN CHANG-WON WAS ARRESTED
ON JULY 16, 1999
The candidate next to him, 30 seconds.
You may begin.
I'm the candidate of the Anonymous Party.
Who am I?
My name is Kim Gung-ye.
I may be ignorant,
but my love for this country
is this big.
Please vote
for me, Kim Gung-ye.
Thank you.
What do I do? What do I say?
What's the name of my party?
I can act angry, so in the moment…
From the Miscreants' Party,
I'm Lee Kyung-kyu.
CANDIDATE LEE KYUNG-KYU
What's that face?
What's your problem?
He's Lee Kyung-kyu.
I believe
a leader must lead by example
for a country's people to follow him.
For the people, of the people!
I will create that country.
-And--
-Your time is up.
Don't cut me off. I have notes!
Next candidate.
The Glucose Party?
High Fructose Corn Syrup Party, no?
Hello.
A third-generation member
of the Drivers' Diner Party,
I'm Moon Bulgogi.
He's candidate Moon Bulgogi.
That's clever.
Moon Bulgogi of the Drivers' Diner Party.
I'll set things right
so you enjoy a healthy laugh.
I'm the fiery Moon Bulgogi candidate.
Thank you for your remarks.
Starting now,
we'll have an issue-based debate.
The topic will be policies addressing
the low birth rate and demographic cliff.
You useless turd.
I'm a monk.
How can I have kids?
SPEECHLESS
However…
You laugh?
You useless turd.
Candidate Kim Bu-gak.
Please start off by asking
one of the candidates a question.
All right. I'll ask Kim Gung-ye.
Go ahead.
Aging local governments have begun
to raise the age limit for "youth."
In your opinion, what age should be
the limit for "youth"?
Well,
I think anyone up to 40
can be considered a youth.
Pardon me for asking, but how old are you?
I'm right at the limit. I'm 39.
You're 39.
He didn't alter his age.
-He just gave his real age.
-He told the truth.
Why did he respond like that?
FAIL
Moon Bulgogi.
Do you know the cost
of raising a child to 18 in our country?
My eldest is 14 years old.
I estimate it costs about 200 million won.
Why is he giving a real answer?
Has he given up on comedy?
FAIL
They don't want real responses.
The questions asked were so formal
that we were caught off guard
by the topic.
I knew I had to make it playful, but…
We kept getting caught off guard.
I believe you are more or less correct.
I have a question for Mr. Kim.
It's my time to ask.
-We need to check the facts first.
-You'll have a turn later.
-What do you think, Kim Bu-gak, about--
-Candidate Lee.
You will have a chance to ask later.
Please wait your turn.
He's really mad.
Since the topics are so heavy, it's hard.
If they're serious, it's not funny.
If they have no idea, it could be funny.
Candidate Lee, it's your turn now.
Ask a candidate a question.
All right.
First off, Kim Bu-gak,
how many one-person households
do you think there are in Seoul?
My respected citizens,
I shall not yield to any slander
or negativity.
-I am for the people.
-How annoying.
You think I don't respect the people?
I will work only for the people
as Kim Bu-gak
of the National Cheer-Up Party.
Hold it. Do I not respect the people?
He can't get his hat on.
-That's a dated joke.
-Yes.
Moon Se-yoon.
Yes?
What circumstances lead to marriage
without any kids?
Bad ones.
This debate is a mess.
Very bad circumstances.
Millennials and Gen Z are getting married.
-Congratulations.
-But…
This is better.
This is more my style.
Let me put it simply.
-There are two children.
-Yes.
How old are they?
One is pork belly,
the other is chuck flap tail.
Which is tastier,
inside skirt or pork belly?
The topic is the low birth rate.
I already asked about that!
How do I debate with the answer he gave?
Your time to ask questions is up.
-Finally--
-I got nothing out of that.
So Yong-myoung saved this?
Why is this so funny to me?
Maybe it's because
of the injustice I suffered,
but as people started to laugh,
I was relieved by the mood.
I started feeling I could get ambitious
and really let loose.
But…
-Kyung-kyu.
-Yes?
You're married, right?
Why does a married man
have an STD?
CANDIDATE LEE KYUNG-KYU HAS AN STD?
How did a presidential candidate
get an STD?
Explain.
He's insane.
-Those lunatics.
-A married man with an STD?
Run with it, Yong-myoung.
Yong-myoung. Kim Yong-myoung!
An STD is a disease
that you can catch
without knowing how.
Why do we get crabs while in the military?
That makes it sound like it's true.
He's crazy.
My respected citizens,
one of the candidates here
drives a Toyota.
Lee Kyung-kyu!
HE DOESN'T DRIVE A DOMESTIC CAR?
-Wait.
-You do that, and yet…
A presidential candidate driving a Toyota?
They had a good sale in May
with low-interest leases!
-It was a good deal?
-For a lease.
It was 30% down
with monthly lease payments.
In January…
-What about January?
-Did you or did you not go to Okinawa?
LEE KYUNG-KYU EMBROILED
IN PRO-JAPAN SCANDAL
-Hold up.
-Did you go or not?
Please respond with "hai" or "iie."
Or with "sumimasen."
-If yes, respond with "hai."
-My in-laws were celebrating
their 40th wedding anniversary,
so I took them to a hot spring.
Korea has the Onyang Hot Springs.
Of all the hot springs around,
why did you go to one in Okinawa?
Please explain.
Soon, you'll accuse me of paying
my respects at a Shinto shrine.
Lee Kyung-kyu.
Why did he give my name?
It's like I'm out there.
Being pro-Japan.
-It's like I went around doing that.
-Yes.
The press will say that.
We will wrap up the debate now.
We didn't accomplish anything.
Now we'll take questions
from citizens on the floor.
MISSION:
TALK WITH CITIZENS
Who will ask the first question?
Yes, right there.
I'm an ordinary person in my thirties.
But I'm dealing with a certain issue.
I keep losing hair
from the stress of going bald.
SOLEMN
He wore it for a while.
What policies will you enact
to benefit the balding?
First, I'd like to give you a hug.
I know your pain better than anyone.
-It's even sparser.
-The camera angle is funny.
I can't look because of my trypophobia.
I really empathize with you.
If I become president,
I'll take the budget surplus
and use it…
I'll make non-surgical hair loss treatment
accessible to everyone
through health insurance.
If you receive treatment
under this insurance,
treatment will be commensurate
with the extent of the hair loss.
I will create this policy!
-Does he think he's really running?
-He sounds serious.
-He must be getting into it.
-Because he can empathize.
SUCCESS
Thank you.
END OF IMPROV
As players in the same game,
-we know how hard they worked.
-They worked so hard.
They chose a hard room.
They get four points.
Yong-myoung is a tank.
The more he's beaten down,
the funnier he gets.
That trait made him shine.
To take his own insecurity, his hair loss,
and use it to revive the sketch
was impressive and thrilling to see.
TEAM DEUNGCHON-DONG LAKERS
HOW MANY POINTS
WILL THE DEUNGCHON-DONG LAKERS GET?
TEAM HELLO GUILTY
-What's this?
-There's nothing.
There is only
one door left.
We're confident about this round.
We all have several years of experience
doing sketch comedy.
Our strength is making things funny
even without a script.
I think we'll be good at this.
I don't know why that team is here.
Their alter egos can be
deadly offensive weapons,
but they're limited
in unexpected situations.
It's risky for them.
Let's go in.
-What is this?
-What is this?
What is this?
Wow, what is all this?
CHUNGSEUNG NETWORK
OFFICE
-It's high quality.
-The set.
I should've gone there as Gung-ye
to be funny.
Wait, look.
-What's that?
-What is it?
There's a list. General manager,
manager, associate, and whatnot.
If these titles are for us…
Let's go by age.
Making it easy for us will be better.
I'd like to be the senior associate.
I like roles that are in the middle.
I want to be the most junior.
Like Gen Z style.
What about me?
-Go for it.
-I take the top spot?
In an office setting,
it's not easy to create drama.
We need to draw out real laughs
with real situations.
We're used to this,
so I know we can do it.
START IMPROV
Good morning.
Good morning.
Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
What is this?
I'm getting a sunburn here!
You think you can turn on all the lights
because you're not paying the bill?
It's Kang Sung-hoon
from Damn Good Company.
Kids these days have no staying power.
Pay for drinks separately.
It's a web drama satirizing
a mediocre mid-sized firm.
He looks so natural.
Why did you come to work so early?
You're wasting electricity.
-We just want to work hard.
-We'll work very hard.
Hello?
Yes?
What are you doing?
It's nothing.
Hello.
Hello.
Oh, hello.
She's so pretty.
I want a company dinner.
Me too.
GO MAL-SOOK / BOOKKEEPER
-Hello.
-You come last as the most junior?
Get here earlier.
I got to the first floor right on time.
I wasn't even one minute late.
Look how sassy she is with her retorts.
I just don't get along with Generation Z.
That's also their charm nowadays.
That's true. The ones in that generation
who are good-looking do act that way.
Is that how it is?
It's all to make you laugh.
-They're off to a natural start.
-Right.
A very natural start.
-Let's get to work.
-All right.
Yes, hello? Yes.
Guten tag!Guten morgen!
This is Chungseung Network.
Yes, that's right.
I'll transfer you to Se-mi. Thank you.
They each get a scenario.
To think on their feet.
They need to start delivering.
MISSION:
A CALL WHERE NOTHING CAN BE HEARD
Yes, hello?
What?
The lottery?
-Sir.
-Yes?
You always tell us to work, save energy,
and this and that.
This company makes me sick.
General Manager,
your breath and your hair stink.
Ever heard of a shower?
I won the lottery, so I'm quitting.
I'm out of here.
I can go, right?
Just like that? Wait.
You won over the phone?
That doesn't make sense.
-How can that be?
-They called and said I won.
What lottery draw is it?
The 192nd.
The 192nd drawing was 25 years ago.
THE 192ND DRAWING WAS IN AUGUST 2006
So I didn't win?
Se-mi, you're going too far.
She has to get out of this.
Make an excuse.
I'm a great actress, aren't I?
I'm good, right?
Actually,
I was practicing for the employee musical.
-I see.
-Oh.
To make you happy.
Congratulations
-You're good!
-Congratulations
Love you, Mr. Jung
You really got us there.
I got chills.
Se-mi has good energy.
She's in character.
That's impressive.
As a closing touch,
she could've rewound it and said,
"If only that was how it happened."
Now your ideas are flowing.
Let's all work quietly, shall we?
-Okay.
-Okay.
Hae-jun.
-Can I talk to you in the break room?
-To me?
-Yes.
-Why? Let me come too.
-Excuse me.
-What's going on?
-What are you doing?
-What is it?
What are they talking about?
Babe.
I know we're keeping things low-key,
but you're acting too cold.
You won't even respond
to my Kakao messages.
MISSION:
SECRETLY DATING MAL-SOOK
We can't do this at work.
I'm mad at you. Make it up to me.
You're driving me crazy.
Okay.
You'll make it up to me?
You'll make it up to me?
You know,
I feel like Mr. Jung is picking on me.
It's so annoying.
Wait. I'm trying to make it up to you.
-Just let me--
-I mean…
-Just let me--
-I mean…
If you really love me,
can you slap Mr. Jung for me?
How can I slap our boss?
He has to choose between love and work.
And if he does hit him, how will he do it?
MISSION:
LOVE VERSUS THE BOSS
The boss is asleep.
And he happens to be sleeping
with his cheek out.
You'll make it up to me, right? I'm mad.
Of course. I'll do anything
my Mal-sook asks me to.
You're the best!
-I'll be watching, okay?
-Okay.
I should hit the sauna.
I have so much work today.
The boss is an older man too.
Oh, I got it.
Mr. Jung!
Wake up! Listen.
I played a drinking game not too long ago.
-It was so much fun.
-What was it?
Mountains Upon Mountains.
Isn't it a racy game?
You want to play it at work?
You relay the motions to the next person
and add on with each turn.
Let's play.
-Sure, let's play then.
-Great.
Mountains upon mountains
Mountains upon mountains
Mountains upon mountains
Respectfully, with two hands.
He hit the boss?
I love you.
Mountains upon mountains…
What the hell was that? I'm so annoyed.
Get back to work. I'm so offended.
Look at this.
A direct slap would've been funnier.
-Just grit your teeth and slap him.
-He lost his chance.
FAIL
Never mind all that.
Since it's the holidays soon,
I got a gift from a client,
and I'm feeling generous.
-Spam, a holiday favorite!
-Spam!
That's expensive.
If you need Spam,
raise your hand and tell me why.
I'll give Spam to anyone who moves me.
For the Spam.
For me, Spam is…
-I just--
-It's sad.
She's making it sad to win the Spam.
Should I say it?
MISSION:
TEAR-JERKER SPAM CONTES
I have a deep connection to Spam.
Before I started this job,
I worked part-time in spam messaging.
Oh, that spam.
I think it's time for me
to get back what I gave.
Shouldn't you get a text then?
Shouldn't she go to the police station?
That's why I want to eat the Spam.
Okay, good enough. Take one.
Thank you.
That's enough to get one?
Because it was a sad story.
Mr. Kim, you tell one.
For a long time now,
my
nickname
has been Spam.
…has been Spam.
If you look at my back…
They're really the same! Even the color!
Many people teased me and called me Spam.
I heard the name "Spam" everywhere I went.
If I can't even have this Spam,
wouldn't that be a denial
of my entire existence?
Eat it.
Thank you.
Congratulations, Mr. Kim!
SUCCESS
I stripped, and you only gave me one?
This is a soap opera.
Not many have taken their shirts off.
Hae-jun saved it with his body.
It's necessary.
Hae-jun deserves praise.
When he went shirtless to save the bit,
I was so moved
that I almost cried actual tears.
It was really moving.
We had a great vibe going.
Up until that moment.
What's most important
at Chungseung Network?
Thriftiness.
-We need a thrifty mentality.
-You're right.
-You're right.
-Being thrifty is important.
I know how we can save.
How?
I feel like the company
is wasting its money on my salary.
Here's my resignation.
RESIGNATION
Woo-il doesn't know what to do.
He opted to resign.
He's giving up halfway.
Why resign?
He's throwing in the towel.
How can we take Korean products
and introduce them to the global market?
We'll make Squid Game masks
out of these.
I'll be here doing this.
SIGHING
That's the first time you've sighed.
The master sighed.
-His first sigh?
-Yes.
We can use this to add volume
to any area that needs it.
For example, women's chests.
PUFFED RICE CHESTS!
They're in a downward spiral.
Someone must get the juices flowing,
but no one is…
We should've stuck to realism.
Too bad we didn't.
We were trying too hard to save the mood.
It felt forced.
Next. What's next?
Elastic pants fit everything.
There's nothing you can't stuff inside.
-This is…
-Look.
Even my jacket fits.
-Mr. Jung.
-Here.
Hae-jun's forcing it. It's all forced.
-This much can fit inside.
-It fits everything.
If I pooped now, I could make green tea.
You can stuff anything in there.
What even is a high-class joke anymore?

It's over?
TEAM HELLO GUILTY
HOW MANY POINTS WILL HELLO GUILTY GET?
ROUND 2 IS OVER
Round Two is over.
Everyone worked really hard.
-Good work.
-Nice job, everyone.
I'll start by revealing sixth place
for Round Two.
-He's starting with sixth?
-Wow, right away?
I'll admit I want to come in first.
My team will be first no matter what.
I just don't want to come in last.
Let's not come in last.
In sixth place.
What if it's us?
Team Hello Guilty.
IN 6TH PLACE, HELLO GUILTY

THEY'VE COME IN 6TH PLACE

We came in last twice now,

This is making me nervous.
Team Deungchon-dong Lakers.
IN 5TH, DEUNGCHON-DONG LAKERS
71 POINTS
Man, that was a close one.
IN 5TH PLACE TWICE IN A ROW
We placed fifth out of six teams twice.
We can only go up now.
We came in fifth twice?

-That could happen.
Let's aim for third.
In fourth place.

IN 4TH PLACE, TOP MONKEYS

In third place.
Team Butlers and Little Miss
IN 3RD PLACE, BUTLERS AND LITTLE MISS

The teams that are left
are Team Raspberries
and Team Punchline.
We're at the top for Rounds One and Two.
We're good at comedy.
We're good at comedy.
In first place.
We're definitely in first.
As we were second in Round One,
I want to be first.
In first place,
Team Punchline!
IN 1ST PLACE, PUNCHLINE
91 POINTS
IN 2ND PLACE, RASPBERRIES
87 POINTS
We beat our rivals, Team Raspberries,
and came in first.
If we do well in Round Three,
we could win Comedy Revenge.
I'll chew up, swallow,
and get rid of the rest.
We got second.
Not just second. Second again.
Placing second makes me want more.
We got second in Rounds One and Two.
I just can't accept this.
In Round Three,
I'll tear everyone apart.
Park Na-rae is back.
We can compete against our seniors.
Underdog upset.
First place is ours!
-Let's cheer for ourselves.
-Of course.
With all due respect
to the other comedians,
I'll rip you all apart.
Comedy Revenge Final Round.
Start!
We have no reverse gear.
We can only go up now.
I have nothing to lose.
Round Three is ours.
I'm Squidward Kyung-kyu.
Welcome.

What's that?
There's a good crowd here.
There are some hotties here!
The crowd is great!
The men here don't seem all that great.
-We'll do well here.
-This works well.
-Now I feel like flirting.
-You like it here?
It's FreeZia.
We should've gone there.
She's insanely beautiful.
I wasn't expecting FreeZia.
A real angel has come to join us.
I'm in Paradise now.
COMEDY REVENGE
CHAPTER 4
KNOCKING ON HEAVEN'S DOOR
We'll do great! The guys here look cool.
Now I feel like flirting.
-It's FreeZia.
-You like it here?
Does it really feel like this?
-I'm so nervous.
-He's hitting on them.
-Do you want a tarot reading?
-I love tarot.
Excuse me.
We're having a serious conversation.
I'm sorry.
Ridiculous.
I just now noticed Ji-yoon.
If you like her, just say so.
MISSION:
THE HUNT BEGINS, SIT TOGETHER
Men are silly.
THE ACTORS HAVE A SCRIP
BUT THE COMEDIANS
ARE AD-LIBBING EVERYTHING
-Gyu-jin, if it's okay with you…
-Yes?
…I want to go for the lady in white.
She's making my heart pound.
They're talking about us.
Just the girl in white? What about me?
When will anyone talk to me?
That scenario doesn't exist?
Can I use an old-school line?
-Use it with confidence.
-Yeah.
Hey, girl in white.
Are you mixed, by any chance?
That's his pickup line?
Why do you ask?
You look like a mix of Korean and heaven.
That was so cheesy.
I can hear the boos.
That really was old school.
I feel like puking.
I wonder how that girl will flirt.
What are you looking at, crazy b?
Wait.
Why did you ruin it?
They keep staring at me.
But still!
Why do they keep staring?
I love how fiery you are.
We seem to be on the same wavelength.
Want to join tables?
SUCCESS
Tell them yes.
Who am I supposed to hit on?
Can you push our table for us?
What about me?
Of all the teams,
they've set the mood best from the start.
Could you tell us your names and ages?
I was born in 2000.
My name is Kim Ro-ha.
-Ro-ha.
-Yes.
-I'm a World Cup baby.
-A Wo-babe.
I was born in 2002.
My name is Lee Heading.
-Your name is Lee Heading?
-Yes.
I was born in 2004.
So you're the youngest one.
-My name is Ruru.
-Ruru.
Just call me Ruru.
Your Chinese name is Fu Bao, right?
Now that we've joined tables,
what do you want to know about us?
Just…
-What's your type?
-What type do you like?
He's just…
It's like he's really trying
to seduce her.
Is Yong-jin married?
-Yes.
-He has a child.
So he's a bad guy.
I like men who are rugged and funny.
-Rugged?
-Yes. Rugged and funny.
A rugged and funny man.
Rugged.
You're so rugged!
The way she said "rugged."
"You're so rugged!"
So rugged.
You're so rugged!
-Kyung-kyu?
-Hey, Kyung-kyu.
Kyung-kyu?
He's about to fall in.
He even took his glasses off.
I wanted to see the type
that men like now.
You can see her from your seat now.
Ro-ha, don't you have a rugged side?
Ji-a likes rugged men.
A woman should pour the drinks.
So I can feed her snacks.
What was that?
It's rugged!
-Ruru, do you have a rugged side?
-Yes?
Want me to show you my heel?
It's rugged.
-Bet it sounds rough.
-It shows the wear and tear of life.
That's rugged.
All right, shall we change up the mood?
You know how people exchange items?
These days, people play
"What's In My Bag."
You show people what's in your bag.
Ji-a, show them yours.
-I will.
-That's so cute.
First, a mirror.
It's Anna Sui.
-And perfume.
-Perfume.
-I use it like this.
-Oh, like that?
Your natural scent is nice.
You don't need it.
-So cheesy.
-Her natural scent.
We showed you what's in our bag.
I noticed earlier that you three
put your bags in your chairs.
MISSION: WHAT'S IN MY BAG
THAT I DIDN'T KNOW WAS THERE
-That's why we put them in?
-So that's why.
Now it'll be an ad-lib battle.
The chair doesn't even open.
-There is a bag.
-It's a nice bag.
I wonder what's in it.
What do I do with this?
-What is it?
-Show us.
-A wallet. It's nice.
-Oh, a wallet!
It's a long wallet.
-Another one?
-Another wallet.
Wait a minute.
-Wait, am I a pickpocket?
-Wait.
A NEVER-ENDING STREAM
OF WALLETS
Why does she have five wallets?
As for the reason…
Gi-ru, we have to make up a reason.
-For this?
-Come up with something.
It's clear I'm a thief.
What reason can excuse that?
If you can, come up with a reason.
We're on the same team.
-You collect your exes' wallets.
-Or…
Since you're wearing red,
people inserted them
thinking you're a post box.
-That's it!
-They put the wallets in.
-Like this.
-Okay! That works.
They put them in to return them.
She survived with his help.
-Gyu-jin.
-Gyu-jin is so clever.
SUCCESS
-And the last one?
-Me?
-Yong-jin.
-What a nice bag.
-Even his bag is unusual.
-It's nice.
See how his bag is unusual?
I see.
-What is it?
-What?
Ta-da.
DIAPERS
Diapers?
-What's that?
-Diapers, no?
Why do you have diapers?
Because
there's been
a lot of air pollution lately.
I use diapers for that.
They're great at blocking.
I've never even gotten COVID.
So you use it as a mask?
Not even once.
-It does seem totally impenetrable.
-Of course.
-Yes.
-You go like this.
It looks really warm.
What's this?
-Wait! Look!
-What's that?
A POSITIVE PREGNANCY TES
-What's that?
-It's positive.
-What?
-Are you married?
It's a COVID test.
-It's positive.
-I told you.
This is a pregnancy test.
-Before, when I got a urine test…
-There's more?
Wait a minute.
-Also positive.
-So he's a married man.
Never mind that. How many are there?
A PACIFIER
Suddenly I'm the father
of several children.
Why's a dad in a singles bar?
If you want a winning housing application,
stick with me.
I'd be number one
on any housing application list.
That was funny.
Yong-jin managed
to get out of that so well.
This is totally untrue. This is just…
-It's time.
-What's happening now?
The highlight of our singles bar,
it's sexy dance battle time!
This bar has such a thing?
-To the first-place winner…
-Is that Armand?
…will go a bottle of Armand!
It's 1,500,000 won retail.
-I want to try it!
-Win it for me!
-Win it.
-Win it for me.
This isn't what I'm used to.
You look hip. Dance for us, please.
-Go on out there.
-She's going.
We start now.
-What?
-Cue the cheers!
The hip-looking one is dancing.
-What's going on?
-What is this?
-No way.
-This isn't fair.
There's another one!
How do we beat that?
Get out there!
I'm not confident in my dancing.
I'm confident in talking
or coming up with ad-libs.
What's he doing?
-Next one up.
-Overcome.
With my do-rag on.
Overcome! Don't lose to it.
That's it! You're doing great!
You're doing great! You've overcome it!
This is chaos.
-Ruru!
-Ruru!
I really can't dance.
You're so cute.
She's great.
She set the mood so well.
That was insane.
We enjoyed watching that.
-I usually don't get up.
-It was great.
The winner of the Armand…
-Drumroll!
-Please.
The Armand goes to this table!
SUCCESS
Congratulations.
-That was so cool.
-That was amazing.
Jeez.
We need to talk,
so we're going to run to the bathroom.
Leave your bags and your phones!
-We'll be back soon.
-Okay.
Are they ditching us?
What's this all of a sudden?
How is she allowed in here?
-She's a married woman.
-Hey.
Where's the owner?
-Whoa!
-What's going on?
Her specialty is playing wealthy ladies.
If she's on, something will happen.
-Someone will get slapped.
-Exactly.
-It's a drama.
-Suddenly it is.
What?
My son-in-law.
RUNNING INTO YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW
AT A SINGLES BAR
-The diapers were suspect.
-I know. And the pregnancy test.
Didn't you say you were going
to a funeral?
This is a hard one to tackle.
Gyu-jin.
You said you were going
with your brother-in-law,
but this is where you were going?
Please calm down.
When she called him son-in-law,
I started exploring being his mistress.
Driver Sin is here.
A driver? That's so random.
-I'm a contributing member here.
-Hey.
-Driver Sin.
-Yes, ma'am?
You're fired immediately.
-Goodness.
-I mean…
That's a bit harsh.
-Ro-ha!
-That's not me.
-Let's go.
-No!
-Why not?
-It's not me.
-I thought about it.
-Ji-yoon, not you!
Shut up, all of you!
-Who are these girls?
-We're going to the next bar.
-The next bar?
-Yes, round two.
What did you say?
-Yong-jin.
-Yes.
Explain the situation.
Or Gyu-jin, you explain!
How will they get out of this?
We just came here to get a drink
with Driver Sin
without knowing it was a singles bar.
These two suddenly came over to us
and started spritzing perfume,
asking us to smell it on them.
That's when I pulled out
some pregnancy tests
and diapers to prove I'm married.
See all this, Mother?
This is Yun-jae's.
-He used his son's name.
-Yun-jae's.
Have all of you gone insane?
What kind of fool do you take me for?
Are you out of your minds?
If you're going to throw it,
just go for it.
You wretch!
These are for this.
The same goes for you.
The same goes for you.
They're ultra-absorbent.
I'll see you at home later.
You're letting me come home after this?
Thank you!
END OF IMPROV
It's over.
It was funny.
-The improv or the acting?
-They were both good.
They acted like stereotypical men.
Big stretch for them.
-It looked really natural.
-Yes.
TEAM PUNCHLINE'S SCORE
When it comes to acting out scenarios,
Team Raspberries has it.
But Team Punchline can't be ruled out.
We'll come in first regardless.
If we don't place first,
it was rigged.
TEAM RASPBERRIES VS TEAM PUNCHLINE
WHO WILL COME OUT ON TOP?
TEAM DEUNGCHON-DONG LAKERS
What is this place?
What's the setting?
What is it this time?
It's closed.
No matter the circumstances,
I want to use Gung-ye.
I have an ace up my sleeve.
That's why I decided to come bald.
We suffered a big setback in Round One.
To recover, we need a good score.
Deungchon-dong Lakers.
We got fifth for Round One.
For Round Two, we'll get first.
Let's go.
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE DEBATE
What is this? A presidential…
Candidates, you're very late!
We're going live in a minute.
Please dress properly.
We're presidential candidates.
How can I be a presidential candidate
looking like this?
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION DEBATE
A presidential debate.
-A presidential debate.
-At their level?
Think they can debate current affairs?
This seems hard.
It's hard.
We're all ignorant. This is bad.
-Let's go back out.
-What?
-Let's go back out.
-Let's…
My mind went blank.
How can we make this funny to win?
I was speechless.
I was so shocked that I nearly left again.
This is the comedy I'm worst at.
The setting was really oppressive.
It was a real presidential debate set.
Here. Hold my hand.
START IMPROV
Hello.
-That scared me.
-It's him.
Jung Kwan-yong.
JUNG KWAN-YONG
He's the moderator
for presidential debates.
This is…
-He's playing a presidential candidate.
-Yes.
This one seems hard.
You have to be smart for jokes
on politics, satire, current events,
and so on.
What's going on?
Seriously, what is this?
Hello, everyone. I'm Jung Kwan-yong.
We now begin our debate among candidates
for the next presidential election.
We will start with opening remarks
from the candidates.
You have 30 seconds.
Introduce yourselves briefly
and talk about your platform.
Candidate Kim Bu-gak of
the National Cheer-Up Party, 30 seconds.
To my respected fellow citizens,
I'm Kim Bu-gak
of the National Cheer-Up Party.
I humbly accept the incredible lead
I have in approval ratings.
I will be the people's friend.
He doesn't even know
what a presidential debate is.
Is it that bad?
I saw the news last
when Sin Chang-won was arrested.
That's pretty recent.
SIN CHANG-WON WAS ARRESTED
ON JULY 16, 1999
The candidate next to him, 30 seconds.
You may begin.
I'm the candidate of the Anonymous Party.
Who am I?
My name is Kim Gung-ye.
I may be ignorant,
but my love for this country
is this big.
Please vote
for me, Kim Gung-ye.
Thank you.
What do I do? What do I say?
What's the name of my party?
I can act angry, so in the moment…
From the Miscreants' Party,
I'm Lee Kyung-kyu.
CANDIDATE LEE KYUNG-KYU
What's that face?
What's your problem?
He's Lee Kyung-kyu.
I believe
a leader must lead by example
for a country's people to follow him.
For the people, of the people!
I will create that country.
-And--
-Your time is up.
Don't cut me off. I have notes!
Next candidate.
The Glucose Party?
High Fructose Corn Syrup Party, no?
Hello.
A third-generation member
of the Drivers' Diner Party,
I'm Moon Bulgogi.
He's candidate Moon Bulgogi.
That's clever.
Moon Bulgogi of the Drivers' Diner Party.
I'll set things right
so you enjoy a healthy laugh.
I'm the fiery Moon Bulgogi candidate.
Thank you for your remarks.
Starting now,
we'll have an issue-based debate.
The topic will be policies addressing
the low birth rate and demographic cliff.
You useless turd.
I'm a monk.
How can I have kids?
SPEECHLESS
However…
You laugh?
You useless turd.
Candidate Kim Bu-gak.
Please start off by asking
one of the candidates a question.
All right. I'll ask Kim Gung-ye.
Go ahead.
Aging local governments have begun
to raise the age limit for "youth."
In your opinion, what age should be
the limit for "youth"?
Well,
I think anyone up to 40
can be considered a youth.
Pardon me for asking, but how old are you?
I'm right at the limit. I'm 39.
You're 39.
He didn't alter his age.
-He just gave his real age.
-He told the truth.
Why did he respond like that?
FAIL
Moon Bulgogi.
Do you know the cost
of raising a child to 18 in our country?
My eldest is 14 years old.
I estimate it costs about 200 million won.
Why is he giving a real answer?
Has he given up on comedy?
FAIL
They don't want real responses.
The questions asked were so formal
that we were caught off guard
by the topic.
I knew I had to make it playful, but…
We kept getting caught off guard.
I believe you are more or less correct.
I have a question for Mr. Kim.
It's my time to ask.
-We need to check the facts first.
-You'll have a turn later.
-What do you think, Kim Bu-gak, about--
-Candidate Lee.
You will have a chance to ask later.
Please wait your turn.
He's really mad.
Since the topics are so heavy, it's hard.
If they're serious, it's not funny.
If they have no idea, it could be funny.
Candidate Lee, it's your turn now.
Ask a candidate a question.
All right.
First off, Kim Bu-gak,
how many one-person households
do you think there are in Seoul?
My respected citizens,
I shall not yield to any slander
or negativity.
-I am for the people.
-How annoying.
You think I don't respect the people?
I will work only for the people
as Kim Bu-gak
of the National Cheer-Up Party.
Hold it. Do I not respect the people?
He can't get his hat on.
-That's a dated joke.
-Yes.
Moon Se-yoon.
Yes?
What circumstances lead to marriage
without any kids?
Bad ones.
This debate is a mess.
Very bad circumstances.
Millennials and Gen Z are getting married.
-Congratulations.
-But…
This is better.
This is more my style.
Let me put it simply.
-There are two children.
-Yes.
How old are they?
One is pork belly,
the other is chuck flap tail.
Which is tastier,
inside skirt or pork belly?
The topic is the low birth rate.
I already asked about that!
How do I debate with the answer he gave?
Your time to ask questions is up.
-Finally--
-I got nothing out of that.
So Yong-myoung saved this?
Why is this so funny to me?
Maybe it's because
of the injustice I suffered,
but as people started to laugh,
I was relieved by the mood.
I started feeling I could get ambitious
and really let loose.
But…
-Kyung-kyu.
-Yes?
You're married, right?
Why does a married man
have an STD?
CANDIDATE LEE KYUNG-KYU HAS AN STD?
How did a presidential candidate
get an STD?
Explain.
He's insane.
-Those lunatics.
-A married man with an STD?
Run with it, Yong-myoung.
Yong-myoung. Kim Yong-myoung!
An STD is a disease
that you can catch
without knowing how.
Why do we get crabs while in the military?
That makes it sound like it's true.
He's crazy.
My respected citizens,
one of the candidates here
drives a Toyota.
Lee Kyung-kyu!
HE DOESN'T DRIVE A DOMESTIC CAR?
-Wait.
-You do that, and yet…
A presidential candidate driving a Toyota?
They had a good sale in May
with low-interest leases!
-It was a good deal?
-For a lease.
It was 30% down
with monthly lease payments.
In January…
-What about January?
-Did you or did you not go to Okinawa?
LEE KYUNG-KYU EMBROILED
IN PRO-JAPAN SCANDAL
-Hold up.
-Did you go or not?
Please respond with "hai" or "iie."
Or with "sumimasen."
-If yes, respond with "hai."
-My in-laws were celebrating
their 40th wedding anniversary,
so I took them to a hot spring.
Korea has the Onyang Hot Springs.
Of all the hot springs around,
why did you go to one in Okinawa?
Please explain.
Soon, you'll accuse me of paying
my respects at a Shinto shrine.
Lee Kyung-kyu.
Why did he give my name?
It's like I'm out there.
Being pro-Japan.
-It's like I went around doing that.
-Yes.
The press will say that.
We will wrap up the debate now.
We didn't accomplish anything.
Now we'll take questions
from citizens on the floor.
MISSION:
TALK WITH CITIZENS
Who will ask the first question?
Yes, right there.
I'm an ordinary person in my thirties.
But I'm dealing with a certain issue.
I keep losing hair
from the stress of going bald.
SOLEMN
He wore it for a while.
What policies will you enact
to benefit the balding?
First, I'd like to give you a hug.
I know your pain better than anyone.
-It's even sparser.
-The camera angle is funny.
I can't look because of my trypophobia.
I really empathize with you.
If I become president,
I'll take the budget surplus
and use it…
I'll make non-surgical hair loss treatment
accessible to everyone
through health insurance.
If you receive treatment
under this insurance,
treatment will be commensurate
with the extent of the hair loss.
I will create this policy!
-Does he think he's really running?
-He sounds serious.
-He must be getting into it.
-Because he can empathize.
SUCCESS
Thank you.
END OF IMPROV
As players in the same game,
-we know how hard they worked.
-They worked so hard.
They chose a hard room.
They get four points.
Yong-myoung is a tank.
The more he's beaten down,
the funnier he gets.
That trait made him shine.
To take his own insecurity, his hair loss,
and use it to revive the sketch
was impressive and thrilling to see.
TEAM DEUNGCHON-DONG LAKERS
HOW MANY POINTS
WILL THE DEUNGCHON-DONG LAKERS GET?
TEAM HELLO GUILTY
-What's this?
-There's nothing.
There is only
one door left.
We're confident about this round.
We all have several years of experience
doing sketch comedy.
Our strength is making things funny
even without a script.
I think we'll be good at this.
I don't know why that team is here.
Their alter egos can be
deadly offensive weapons,
but they're limited
in unexpected situations.
It's risky for them.
Let's go in.
-What is this?
-What is this?
What is this?
Wow, what is all this?
CHUNGSEUNG NETWORK
OFFICE
-It's high quality.
-The set.
I should've gone there as Gung-ye
to be funny.
Wait, look.
-What's that?
-What is it?
There's a list. General manager,
manager, associate, and whatnot.
If these titles are for us…
Let's go by age.
Making it easy for us will be better.
I'd like to be the senior associate.
I like roles that are in the middle.
I want to be the most junior.
Like Gen Z style.
What about me?
-Go for it.
-I take the top spot?
In an office setting,
it's not easy to create drama.
We need to draw out real laughs
with real situations.
We're used to this,
so I know we can do it.
START IMPROV
Good morning.
Good morning.
Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
What is this?
I'm getting a sunburn here!
You think you can turn on all the lights
because you're not paying the bill?
It's Kang Sung-hoon
from Damn Good Company.
Kids these days have no staying power.
Pay for drinks separately.
It's a web drama satirizing
a mediocre mid-sized firm.
He looks so natural.
Why did you come to work so early?
You're wasting electricity.
-We just want to work hard.
-We'll work very hard.
Hello?
Yes?
What are you doing?
It's nothing.
Hello.
Hello.
Oh, hello.
She's so pretty.
I want a company dinner.
Me too.
GO MAL-SOOK / BOOKKEEPER
-Hello.
-You come last as the most junior?
Get here earlier.
I got to the first floor right on time.
I wasn't even one minute late.
Look how sassy she is with her retorts.
I just don't get along with Generation Z.
That's also their charm nowadays.
That's true. The ones in that generation
who are good-looking do act that way.
Is that how it is?
It's all to make you laugh.
-They're off to a natural start.
-Right.
A very natural start.
-Let's get to work.
-All right.
Yes, hello? Yes.
Guten tag!Guten morgen!
This is Chungseung Network.
Yes, that's right.
I'll transfer you to Se-mi. Thank you.
They each get a scenario.
To think on their feet.
They need to start delivering.
MISSION:
A CALL WHERE NOTHING CAN BE HEARD
Yes, hello?
What?
The lottery?
-Sir.
-Yes?
You always tell us to work, save energy,
and this and that.
This company makes me sick.
General Manager,
your breath and your hair stink.
Ever heard of a shower?
I won the lottery, so I'm quitting.
I'm out of here.
I can go, right?
Just like that? Wait.
You won over the phone?
That doesn't make sense.
-How can that be?
-They called and said I won.
What lottery draw is it?
The 192nd.
The 192nd drawing was 25 years ago.
THE 192ND DRAWING WAS IN AUGUST 2006
So I didn't win?
Se-mi, you're going too far.
She has to get out of this.
Make an excuse.
I'm a great actress, aren't I?
I'm good, right?
Actually,
I was practicing for the employee musical.
-I see.
-Oh.
To make you happy.
Congratulations
-You're good!
-Congratulations
Love you, Mr. Jung
You really got us there.
I got chills.
Se-mi has good energy.
She's in character.
That's impressive.
As a closing touch,
she could've rewound it and said,
"If only that was how it happened."
Now your ideas are flowing.
Let's all work quietly, shall we?
-Okay.
-Okay.
Hae-jun.
-Can I talk to you in the break room?
-To me?
-Yes.
-Why? Let me come too.
-Excuse me.
-What's going on?
-What are you doing?
-What is it?
What are they talking about?
Babe.
I know we're keeping things low-key,
but you're acting too cold.
You won't even respond
to my Kakao messages.
MISSION:
SECRETLY DATING MAL-SOOK
We can't do this at work.
I'm mad at you. Make it up to me.
You're driving me crazy.
Okay.
You'll make it up to me?
You'll make it up to me?
You know,
I feel like Mr. Jung is picking on me.
It's so annoying.
Wait. I'm trying to make it up to you.
-Just let me--
-I mean…
-Just let me--
-I mean…
If you really love me,
can you slap Mr. Jung for me?
How can I slap our boss?
He has to choose between love and work.
And if he does hit him, how will he do it?
MISSION:
LOVE VERSUS THE BOSS
The boss is asleep.
And he happens to be sleeping
with his cheek out.
You'll make it up to me, right? I'm mad.
Of course. I'll do anything
my Mal-sook asks me to.
You're the best!
-I'll be watching, okay?
-Okay.
I should hit the sauna.
I have so much work today.
The boss is an older man too.
Oh, I got it.
Mr. Jung!
Wake up! Listen.
I played a drinking game not too long ago.
-It was so much fun.
-What was it?
Mountains Upon Mountains.
Isn't it a racy game?
You want to play it at work?
You relay the motions to the next person
and add on with each turn.
Let's play.
-Sure, let's play then.
-Great.
Mountains upon mountains
Mountains upon mountains
Mountains upon mountains
Respectfully, with two hands.
He hit the boss?
I love you.
Mountains upon mountains…
What the hell was that? I'm so annoyed.
Get back to work. I'm so offended.
Look at this.
A direct slap would've been funnier.
-Just grit your teeth and slap him.
-He lost his chance.
FAIL
Never mind all that.
Since it's the holidays soon,
I got a gift from a client,
and I'm feeling generous.
-Spam, a holiday favorite!
-Spam!
That's expensive.
If you need Spam,
raise your hand and tell me why.
I'll give Spam to anyone who moves me.
For the Spam.
For me, Spam is…
-I just--
-It's sad.
She's making it sad to win the Spam.
Should I say it?
MISSION:
TEAR-JERKER SPAM CONTES
I have a deep connection to Spam.
Before I started this job,
I worked part-time in spam messaging.
Oh, that spam.
I think it's time for me
to get back what I gave.
Shouldn't you get a text then?
Shouldn't she go to the police station?
That's why I want to eat the Spam.
Okay, good enough. Take one.
Thank you.
That's enough to get one?
Because it was a sad story.
Mr. Kim, you tell one.
For a long time now,
my
nickname
has been Spam.
…has been Spam.
If you look at my back…
They're really the same! Even the color!
Many people teased me and called me Spam.
I heard the name "Spam" everywhere I went.
If I can't even have this Spam,
wouldn't that be a denial
of my entire existence?
Eat it.
Thank you.
Congratulations, Mr. Kim!
SUCCESS
I stripped, and you only gave me one?
This is a soap opera.
Not many have taken their shirts off.
Hae-jun saved it with his body.
It's necessary.
Hae-jun deserves praise.
When he went shirtless to save the bit,
I was so moved
that I almost cried actual tears.
It was really moving.
We had a great vibe going.
Up until that moment.
What's most important
at Chungseung Network?
Thriftiness.
-We need a thrifty mentality.
-You're right.
-You're right.
-Being thrifty is important.
I know how we can save.
How?
I feel like the company
is wasting its money on my salary.
Here's my resignation.
RESIGNATION
Woo-il doesn't know what to do.
He opted to resign.
He's giving up halfway.
Why resign?
He's throwing in the towel.
How can we take Korean products
and introduce them to the global market?
We'll make Squid Game masks
out of these.
I'll be here doing this.
SIGHING
That's the first time you've sighed.
The master sighed.
-His first sigh?
-Yes.
We can use this to add volume
to any area that needs it.
For example, women's chests.
PUFFED RICE CHESTS!
They're in a downward spiral.
Someone must get the juices flowing,
but no one is…
We should've stuck to realism.
Too bad we didn't.
We were trying too hard to save the mood.
It felt forced.
Next. What's next?
Elastic pants fit everything.
There's nothing you can't stuff inside.
-This is…
-Look.
Even my jacket fits.
-Mr. Jung.
-Here.
Hae-jun's forcing it. It's all forced.
-This much can fit inside.
-It fits everything.
If I pooped now, I could make green tea.
You can stuff anything in there.
What even is a high-class joke anymore?

I'll chew up, swallow,
and get rid of the rest.
We got second.
Not just second. Second again.
Placing second makes me want more.
We got second in Rounds One and Two.
I just can't accept this.
In Round Three,
I'll tear everyone apart.
Park Na-rae is back.
We can compete against our seniors.
Underdog upset.
First place is ours!
-Let's cheer for ourselves.
-Of course.
With all due respect
to the other comedians,
I'll rip you all apart.
Comedy Revenge Final Round.
Start!
We have no reverse gear.
We can only go up now.
I have nothing to lose.
Round Three is ours.
I'm Squidward Kyung-kyu.
Welcome.
