PewDiePie's latest thumbnail inspired by MrBeast Squid Game has Twitter in splits

MrBeast released his much awaited Squid Game video a few days back, and YouTube king PewDiePie was one of the first people to react to the same. While PewDiePie was blown away by the production of the Squid Game video, what surprised his fans more was the thumbnail he designed for his reaction video.

The streamer took the time to photoshop his face onto every participant's head in the original thumbnail for MrBeast's video, and the result has left Twitter in splits.

MrBeast has kept the internet on its toes ever since he announced the creation of his real-life Squid Game video. After months of anticipation, the video finally dropped on November 25, and the internet went berserk.

The video has amassed over 80 million views in less than three days since its release and elicited reactions from the likes of PewDiePie himself.

However, in true PewDiePie style, the creator has also managed to turn heads towards him in his reaction video. PewDiePie is well known for his innovative thumbnails, but the one he designed for his Squid Game reaction video truly takes the cake.

The Twitter community was excited to see PewDiePie's take on the popular philanthropist's rendition of Squid Game, but the thumbnail left them in splits.

The streamer created the thumbnail as a joke, but the reaction it elicited from his community shows how attentive they are towards PewDiePie's effort.

Speaking about the video itself, PewDiePie was mindblown by the amount of effort MrBeast had put in behind the event. He spoke at length about the production of the video, claiming that the sets looked so realistic that it almost seemed as though the philanthropist had asked the producers of the Netflix show if he could use their original sets.

Naturally, with the amount of time, effort, and money that the philanthropist spent behind the Squid Game video, it was no surprise that the video did so well, standing at almost 95 million views at the time of writing.
