*Where squids be at?*
—Description
**A bad Squid Game parody made by a guy who never watched Squid Game** is an episode of Matt Say Yay and Ultra Shorts. In this episode, a mysterious announcer hosts a questionable Squid Game parody.

## Plot

The episode starts with a mysterious announcer only credited as "???" announcing a game where the winner will receive money. Dorako states he just needed to fund medical stuff he will need because of his bad luck. Reicubas seems to just want money and also says that Dorako is not getting injured from bad luck. Blake is also attending the game with the rest of her team, albeit against their will from the announcer. The announcer explains they will be playing Red Light, Green Light, much to the confusion and unamusement of Telesdon and Weiss. Blake shows interest of purposefully losing to get out of the game, which prompts Dorako to call her an idiot and hoping she dies. Melba gets annoyed and tells him to not "badmouth best girl." The scene then erupts into an argument about who is best girl and who is worst girl, with Dorako thinking that Pyrrha Nikos was best girl, Yang thinking she was best girl with her being called worst girl by Dorako, then Blake thinking she was worst girl, finally, Dorako calls all of Team RWBY worst girl, which gets him shot in the testicles four times, one from each member.

The announcer starts the game, and immediately notices that Gigan, Nova, and Meta Knight have cheated by teleporting to the finish line, thus disqualifying them. As the announcer calls red light, and Blake moves, she gets shot and dies. Melba is freaked out, but then reassures herself that Yang is still alive, only for her to get shot, followed by Ruby and Weiss. Arstron and Black King try questioning the announcer, but they get show and killed too. When green light is called, Telesdon safely questions the announcer, who says that the information about getting shot was on the tiny small print on the forms, which baffles Melba, who compares it to going on a haunted hayride where passengers would get kidnapped for the attraction with that info being hidden.

After the Red Light, Green Light game, among others, Melba and Ultraman Zero are at the final game, where they are prepared for anything. However, the final game is revealed to be the FitnessGram Pacer Test, something that scares both contestants so much, they panic and manage to shoot themselves. The announcer nonchalantly realizes this and then muses that they were only playing for five dollars, something that was also on the fine print.

## Trivia

* As seen on Matt's DeviantArt, the character used to represent the announcer is Dark Matt, Matt's dark side.
* This is the first video to have the voice of Matt's cousin, Sarina. She voices Aribunta, Yang, and Nova.
	+ According to the comment left by Matt, Sarina was always a fan of Nova's character and Matt always wanted her to voice Aribunta.
* The captions contain the following Easter eggs:
	+ Dorako calling Yang "worst girl" is a reference to Vexxed Viewer's video about how Yang was the worst member to Team RWBY. Matt has said that video was the first harsh RWBY criticism video he saw. The closed captions make fun of this by saying "(Someone watched Vexxed Viewer...)" when the scene plays.
	+ When Yang says "You wanna fight, boy!?", the captions read "(I'm the Yang, let's fight!)". This is a reference to the RWBY Chibi skit, Kids vs Adults vs Pups, where Yang is imagined to say that quote when others think about describing her.
	+ When Blake says that she thought she was worst girl, the captions read "(Now someone has been watching... okay, no more)". This is likely a reference to the severe backlash Blake's character has gotten by RWBY critics, as well as the characters of Matt Say Yay.
	+ When the game starts, the music that plays is Cynthia's theme from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, with the battle notoriously difficult and traumatizing to some players, even triggering others when the theme plays. Likewise, the subtitle when this plays reads "(Hey, that's Cynthia's theme! Oh no, Cynthia's theme...)".
	+ When Blake gets killed, the captions read "(In the distance, you can hear Mikasa yell "YES! THAT'S HOW IT FEELS!")". This is a reference to Loki's reaction to Thor getting beaten by the Hulk in Thor: Ragnarok.
	+ When Yang gets killed, the captions read "(Out with a Yang!)". This is a reference to the common pun Yang has used in RWBY, which became a recurring meme within the community.
	+ When Weiss gets killed, the captions read "(Oh look, Weiss Schnee losing. Like we haven't seen enough of that)". This is a reference to how most RWBY viewers notice that Weiss loses most of her battles, something famously pointed out by the Youtuber, JelloApocalypse.
	+ When Arstron gets killed, the captions read "Here lies Arstron 1971 - 2022 "Don't call me Earthtron!"" This is a reference to Needle from Battle for Dream Island, and her catchphrase "Don't call me Needy!" whenever called that.
	+ When Black King gets killed, the captions read "Here lies Black King 1971 - 2022 "Corona sounds like a cute girl"". This is a reference to Dorako catches the Coronavirus, where he says the same thing in regards to hearing about the Coronavirus.
	+ Chrom erroneously gets shot and killed on the green light. To remedy this, the captions during this read "(Chrom somehow gets shot on the GREEN LIGHT. He is REALLY bad at this game)".
* A Dalgona candy cutting section was recorded, but it did not go through. In it, Doragory, Zaragas, Antlar, Gudon, Twin Tail, and Mukadender would've appear. Additionally, Dorako and Gudon would've been eliminated.
* Due to the uncertain amount of characters present, the actual placements of the characters is left completely unknown. However, Blake was in last place while Melba was in second place and Zero was in first place due to the order of who shot themselves.
* This episode reveals that Melba and Zero's blood is yellow.
* When Blake and Yang get shot, they use their audio from RWBY Chibi and BlazBlue rather than voice clips by Angela or Sarina.
* Due to Nova's voice clips sounding too quiet, subtitles were edited in the video to clarify what she was saying.
* Aribunta is seen dead and bleeding on the thumbnail, even though she was never shown getting shot in the video.
	+ She is also seen as the first one dead, even though Blake was shot first.
* Dorako, Reicubas, and Chrom are the only confirmed contestants to not be featured on the thumbnail.
* This video reveals that Melba's full name is Melba Q. Artemis. The video's production also helped inspire the full names of the other characters.
* The episode's title reveals that Matt has never watched Squid Game, at least at the time of making the video.
* Matt has gone on record to say that this is one of his favorite videos on the channel.
