'''''SNL Korea'''''''''s GTA Parodies''', officially known as '''''SNL Games''''', is a series of [[AffectionateParody Affectionate Parodies]] of the ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' game franchise created by ''SNL Korea'', [[ForeignRemake the South Korean version of]] ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''.
In this series, OncePerEpisode, the protagonist named Kim Min-kyo ([[AsHimself played by Kim Min-kyo]]) walks to a local game store to get himself some games. Usually, the game store owner (played by Kim Won-hae) alongside his trusty assistant, Hong Jin-ho (played by Hong "[=YellOw=]" Jin-ho) recommends him a GTA game, and asks him to play it (that is, at his own risk). Min-kyo accepts and plays the game, but little does he know that the game [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard has some]] [[UnexpectedlyRealisticGameplay little surprises]] [[FakeDifficulty for him]]...
All we can say is... HilarityEnsues.
The full series can be watched [[https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXhF7O98oprTz5I6iZcYX0tNWp0gzLxYS here]]. You can also watch some of the episodes with English subtitles [[https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpPfgKbdZHbl7BSXvqsxVz-Ep6-8HwRvf here]].

!!트롭 명부 [[AC:(List of Tropes):]]
* AffectionateParody: Of ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'', what do you expect?
* AllThereInTheManual: The popular South Korean wiki Namuwiki has a lot of articles related to the series, to give users insights on the overall plot. One problem -- all of them are in Korean, so if you want to read, '''good luck!'''
* AnachronismStew: The series is a parody of GTA, and [[RuleOfFunny is meant to be all-hilarious]], so anytime Min-kyo plays a GTA game that takes place in ancient times, this is to be expected.
** Even in the first episode, ''GTA Joseon'', you can see the Joseon-era guards showing up -- complete with rifles and SWAT teams -- and shooting Min-kyo's character to death!
** ''CS 2: Imjin War'' is a game based on the titular war, but with FPS elements sprinkled in. This is very evident when Min-kyo throws a rock at a Japanese NPC -- which knocks him out, the announcer announces "[[GratuitousEnglish Headshot!]]"
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: In one of the GTA games, ''GTA Lineage'', whenever the player drags a piece of armour, the game adjusts the mouse's weight to the piece's actual weight, thus explains why dragging the piece is exhausting. If we ignore the RuleOfFunny, then this kind of trick that the game pulls off is pretty much considered scientifically and practically impossible.
* AsHimself: Let's see, we have Kim Min-kyo as Kim Min-kyo (albeit a ButtMonkey version); Hong Jin-ho as Jin-ho, the game store assistant; and Kwon Hyuk-soo as Hyuk-soo, the dreaded creator of the GTA games.
* AuthorAvatar: An InUniverse case. Hyuk-soo always shoves one or more [=NPCs=] bearing his face into his games (with the exception of ''Resident Evul'').
* BlandNameProduct: The "GTA" in Hyuk-soo's GTA games actually stands for "[[FunWithAcronyms Grand Theft Autumn]]".
* TheBadGuyWins[=/=]DownerEnding: All PlayedForLaughs. Min-kyo either loses or gets a bad ending in every GTA game, thanks to [[{{Troll}} the]] [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard nature]] of these GTA games. There are a few cases when this is subverted, however.
* BeigeProse: The signature speech pattern of all of Hyuk-soo-face [=NPCs=]: they always talk in four-syllable phrases. They would also add a few more syllables when needed. In ''GTA Water Margin'', when the real Hyuk-soo walks into the game store, he speaks like this before switching back to speaking normally, [[TheReveal to reveal to Jin-ho]] that he's ''that'' guy from GTA. Perhaps [[https://youtu.be/3oac28J1UUA&t=14 this scene]], also from ''GTA Water Margin'', demonstrates best his speech pattern:
-->'''Guard-Hyuk-soo:''' 게 섯거라 [[AC:(Stop right there!)]]\\
'''Japanese-Hyuk-soo:''' [[GratuitousJapanese ちょっと待って]] [[AC:(Hold it right there!)]]\\
'''Soldier-Hyuk-soo:''' 영창 가자 [[AC:(Confinement time!)]]
* BigBad: Kwon Hyuk-soo (played by Kwon Hyuk-soo), the developer of all the GTA games InUniverse.
* ButtMonkey: Min-kyo. As if having a subpar school report, being abused by his mom and having not got a job to this day wasn't awful enough, playing these horrendous GTA games surely ruins his day even more so.
* CharacterCatchphrase:
** The announcer technically has some:
*** "당신의 캐릭터를 선택하십시오." (Please select your character.)
*** "[blank]를 선택하였습니다." (You have chosen [blank].)
*** After choosing a character: "당신은 [blank]입니다," (You are [blank]) often followed by an order to do something.
*** "사망하였습니다." (You have died.)
* CharacterTic: Min-kyo dances everytime the GTA games' {{Leitmotif}}, Dengue Fever's ''Integration'' plays.
-->'''Min-kyo:''' It's strange... I'm angry but I can't stop bumping my shoulders.
* TheDogBitesBack:
** In ''VideoGame/CounterStrike 2: Imjin War'', Hyuk-soo (as a reporter) enters the PC bang and shuts down its power source so he can report on "[[TemptingFate online games causing violence]]". Enraged, Min-kyo, Jin-ho and the game store owner (who also owns the PC bang) together deliver to him a satisfying CurbStompBattle.
** In ''GTA Military'', Min-kyo returns to the game store, gives the owner a punch and returns his copy of ''GTA Gangnam'' to him. The sequel, ''GTA Military 2'', shows that the previous GTA game he played -- ''GTA Military'' -- messed with him too much that he reached his breaking point, and so he beats the living sh*t out of the owner.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The game store owner (played by Kim Won-hae) is only known as "the game store owner". Min-kyo refers to him as the "old man".
* FormulaBreakingEpisode: A few episodes has Min-kyo playing a different game -- ''VideoGame/CounterStrike 2'' and ''[[Franchise/ResidentEvil Resident Evul]]''. They're actually parodies of ''CS'' and ''Resident Evil'' respectively, made by Hyuk-soo, so the tropes applied to the GTA games also apply to these games as well.
* TheGameComeToLife: In ''GTA Street Fighter'', just when Kim Chang-ryul is about to give Min-kyo a nice beating, a person walks into the arcade centre. Said person is -- surprise, surprise -- [[Franchise/StreetFighter Chun]][[ActionGirl -Li]]. And guess what? She's the owner of the arcade centre.
-->'''Min-kyo and Chang-ryul:''' ''[[OhCrap Chun-Li!?]]''\\
'''Jin-ho:''' Bro, that's the arcade owner!
* [[GratuitousForeignLanguage Gratuitous Chinese]]: In ''Counter-Strike 2: 2[[superscript:nd]] Manchu Invasion'', when Min-kyo plays as King Injo of Joseon, the Manchu [=NPCs=] show up, and their leader says to him:
-->'''Manchu [[{{Mook}} Mook]]-Hyuk-soo:''' 你吃飯了嗎?[[note]]This Chinese phrase sounds like the well-known Korean curse "이 씨발놈아" (i ssiballoma), which corresponds to "[[PrecisionFStrike you f***ing asshole]]" in English.[[/note]] [[AC:([[AffablyEvil Have you eaten yet?]])]]
* GratuitousJapanese:
** In ''GTA Gyeongseong''...
*** after Min-kyo's character hit a Japanese NPC...
---->'''Japanese-Hyuk-soo:''' [[AC:Chotto matte! (Hold it right there!)]]
*** followed by...
---->'''Japanese-Hyuk-soo:''' [[AC:Hayaku! Hayaku! (Hurry up! Hurry up!)]]
** In ''GTA March 1[[superscript:st]]'':
--->'''Japanese-Hyuk-soo:''' 朝鮮人놈! [[AC:(Chosenjin bastard!)]]\\
''[kills Min-kyo with his sword]''\\
'''Japanese-Hyuk-soo:''' [[AC:[[PreMortemOneLiner Sashimi!]]]]
* HolidayEpisode: ''GTA March 1[[superscript:st]]'' has the [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_1st_Movement March 1st Movement]] as its central theme.
* JerkassToOne: Hyuk-soo is [[ImpliedTrope implied]] to be this to Min-kyo. Given that the games he's made always let anyone [[KickTheDog but Min-kyo himself]] make progress and win, it's not hard to see why.
* LesCollaborateurs: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]] in the case of the game store owner and to an extent, Jin-ho. These guys have a stash of Hyuk-soo's GTA games for unknown reasons; and every time Min-kyo takes a GTA game from them and leave, they always give a PsychoticSmirk, indicating that their "plan" of some sort is working. Not to mention, in some of the GTA games, there are [=NPCs=] bearing the face of either of them, or both. With these evidences, it's possible that they have some kind of connection with Hyuk-soo...
* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: Severely [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]].
** [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment The game store owner owns the game store]], but he also runs a PC bang, as seen in ''CS 2: Imjin War''. Jin-ho is usually seen working in the game store. The only time he works elsewhere is in ''GTA Street Fighter'', where he works at a local arcade.
* PunBasedTitle: Hyuk-soo's ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'' parody is titled ''Resident '''Evul'''''. The word '''Evul''' is pronounced "ibul" in Korean, and it actually means "blanket". At first, Min-kyo is confused about why the game is titled like that, but when he gets to the game's ending, he sees that his in-game character and the zombie[[note]]that's zombified [[Music/BigBang G-Dragon]], by the way...[[/note]] [[HoYay are sleeping together]] [[ChekhovsGun under a blanket]].
-->'''Announcer:''' ''[[TitleDrop Resident Evul!]]''
* RunningGag:
** Anytime a Hyuk-soo-face NPC shows up and hinders/kills Min-kyo.
** Also, after doing the latter, [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill said NPC attacking Min-kyo even when he's dead]] as well.
** Anytime a game requires Min-kyo to perform... bizarre actions in front of the webcam, because, well, motion control.
** Hindering Min-kyo's progress with/penaltise him over real life logic.
** Messing with the character selection screen. Whenever Min-kyo wants to choose a more interesting character, [[BaitAndSwitch the game removes that character off the screen]], giving him a "reason" that only applies... in real life.
--->'''Min-kyo:''' Then why did you let me choose anyway?
* SameCharacterButDifferent: Hyuk-soo normally appears as an eccentric, cunning game developer. In ''Counter-Strike 2: Imjin War'', a parody of Counter-Strike [[RecycledInSpace taking place during the Japanese invasions of Korea]], Hyuk-soo appears as a humble reporter.
* ScrappyMechanic: InUniverse, this is pretty much common in almost all GTA games.
* ShoutOut:
** This one to ''Film/ArrowTheUltimateWeapon''. In ''Counter-Strike 2: 2[[superscript:nd]] Manchu Invasion'', when Min-kyo plays as a Manchu {{Mook}}, he gets shot by an archer NPC, who not only dresses like the film's protagonist, Nam-yi; but is also yet another AuthorAvatar of Hyuk-soo. The NPC afterwards delivers this line:
--->'''Archer-Hyuk-soo:''' 최종병기활 [[AC:(''Film/ArrowTheUltimateWeapon''.)]]\\
'''Min-kyo:''' [[AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent That bastard was a Manchu soldier earlier!]]
* SpecialGuest: Per SNL's tradition. Where do we even begin...
** ''GTA Super Life Game'' and ''GTA Dooduklee Online'' has the legendary manhwa artist Lee Mal-nyeon.
** ''GTA Gangnam'' has the comedian Kwak Han-goo.
** ''GTA VideoGame/Lineage2'' has the singer Bae Ki-sung as the BigBad.
** ''GTA Girlfriend Simulator'' has Narsha. Yes, ''the'' Narsha. She appears as both the in-game character and the girl who rejected Min-kyo.
** ''GTA Franchise/StreetFighter'' has Kim Chang-ryul and Choi Jung-moon as Chun-Li.
** ''GTA Winner Eleven'' has the football player Lee Chun-soo.
** The ''Counter-Strike'' parodies features the professional VideoGame/StarCraft player Lim Yo-hwan a.k.a. [=SlayerS_`BoxeR`=].
** Oh boy, we save the best for last: ''Resident Evul'' and its sequel's ensemble of zombified Korean stars...
*** The first zombie Min-kyo encounters in the first ''Resident Evul'' is -- of all people -- friggin' [[Music/BigBang G-Dragon]]. Complete with a ShoutOut to one of his songs, ''Heartbreaker'':
---->'''Zombie-G-Dragon:''' "''I don’t give in no matter what!''"
*** The next one is -- guess what -- Cho Yong-pil. When Min-kyo shoots him, he recites the lyrics from his song ''Bounce'':
---->'''Zombie-Yong-pil:''' '''''*BANG!*''''' Bounce. '''''*BANG!*''''' Bounce, '''''*BANG!*''''' bounce, '''''*BANG!*''''' bounce.
*** After that, Min-kyo stumbles upon two more zombies: Lim Jae-beom and Kim Yuna of Jaurim (the band).
---->'''Zombie-Yuna:''' Hey hey hey...\\
'''Min-kyo:''' Shotgun, shotgun!\\
'''Zombie-Yuna:''' '''''*BANG!*''''' Hey! '''''*BANG!*''''' Hey! '''''*BANG!*''''' Hey! Jaurim...
*** [[WebVideo/CinemaSins Aww, man. They dragged poor Park Jung-hyun into this, didn't they?]]
---->'''Min-kyo:''' [[LampshadeHanging Why my artists, of all people? Seriously...]]
* {{Troll}}: Hyuk-soo is the developer of all GTA games, which are known for messing with poor Min-kyo like hell, yet giving other players varying degrees of advantage. You do the math.
* UnexpectedlyRealisticGameplay: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] and [[ParodiedTrope parodied]] to ludicrous extent. The gameplay of every GTA game is deliberately designed to be as absurdly realistic as possible, all for the sake of messing with Min-kyo.
** This example in ''GTA [[VideoGame/Lineage2 Lineage]]'' takes the cake. Min-kyo has to wear armour to go hunting -- but when he drags a piece of armour to put on the body, the piece moves ''abysmally slow''. The game explains that the mouse's weight has been adjusted to the piece's actual weight... in real life. Even Min-kyo and Jin-ho don't know how the game managed to manipulate the mouse's weight.
** In ''GTA [[UsefulNotes/{{Seoul}} Gangnam]]'', Min-kyo tries to outrun the police after stealing a car from an NPC, but it turns out he can't go any further because in-game Gangnam is crowded with cars[[note]]and yes, [[https://thekoreanguide.com/what-time-is-rush-hour-in-seoul/ this is]] TruthInTelevision[[/note]], much to his dismay. The police NPC arrest him and he gets a game over.
--->'''Police [[{{Mook}} Mook]]-Hyuk-soo:''' D[-IRTY CAR THIEF-].\\
'''Min-kyo:''' Shit, the police! Gotta run, run!\\
'''Announcer:''' You can't run any further during the rush hour in Gangnam.
** ''GTA Military'': Min-kyo's player character can't drive the Kia Retona because the game states that it doesn't know how to. This makes Min-kyo's attempt to escape the training center fail horribly.
* UnwinnableByDesign: Hyuk-soo specifically designed all the games Min-kyo has come across just to make sure only Min-kyo loses/gets a DownerEnding.
* YankTheDogsChain: Just when Min-kyo is about to make some progresses in the game, [[AuthorAvatar an NPC bearing Hyuk-soo's face]] shows up and screws things up, effectively undoing all the progresses, much to Min-kyo's frustration.
* YellowPeril: Japan is definitely portrayed as this in ''GTA Gyeongseong'', ''GTA March 1[[superscript:st]]'' and ''Counter-Strike 2: Imjin War''.

'''''SNL Korea'''''''''s GTA Parodies''', officially known as '''''SNL Games''''', is a series of [[AffectionateParody Affectionate Parodies]] of the ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' game franchise created by ''SNL Korea'', [[ForeignRemake the South Korean version of]] ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''.
In this series, OncePerEpisode, the protagonist named Kim Min-kyo ([[AsHimself played by Kim Min-kyo]]) walks to a local game store to get himself some games. Usually, the game store owner (played by Kim Won-hae) alongside his trusty assistant, Hong Jin-ho (played by Hong "[=YellOw=]" Jin-ho) recommends him a GTA game, and asks him to play it (that is, at his own risk). Min-kyo accepts and plays the game, but little does he know that the game [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard has some]] [[UnexpectedlyRealisticGameplay little surprises]] [[FakeDifficulty for him]]...
All we can say is... HilarityEnsues.
The full series can be watched [[https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXhF7O98oprTz5I6iZcYX0tNWp0gzLxYS here]]. You can also watch some of the episodes with English subtitles [[https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpPfgKbdZHbl7BSXvqsxVz-Ep6-8HwRvf here]].

!!트롭 명부 [[AC:(List of Tropes):]]
* AffectionateParody: Of ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'', what do you expect?
* AllThereInTheManual: The popular South Korean wiki Namuwiki has a lot of articles related to the series, to give users insights on the overall plot. One problem -- all of them are in Korean, so if you want to read, '''good luck!'''
* AnachronismStew: The series is a parody of GTA, and [[RuleOfFunny is meant to be all-hilarious]], so anytime Min-kyo plays a GTA game that takes place in ancient times, this is to be expected.
** Even in the first episode, ''GTA Joseon'', you can see the Joseon-era guards showing up -- complete with rifles and SWAT teams -- and shooting Min-kyo's character to death!
** ''CS 2: Imjin War'' is a game based on the titular war, but with FPS elements sprinkled in. This is very evident when Min-kyo throws a rock at a Japanese NPC -- which knocks him out, the announcer announces "[[GratuitousEnglish Headshot!]]"
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: In one of the GTA games, ''GTA Lineage'', whenever the player drags a piece of armour, the game adjusts the mouse's weight to the piece's actual weight, thus explains why dragging the piece is exhausting. If we ignore the RuleOfFunny, then this kind of trick that the game pulls off is pretty much considered scientifically and practically impossible.
* AsHimself: Let's see, we have Kim Min-kyo as Kim Min-kyo (albeit a ButtMonkey version); Hong Jin-ho as Jin-ho, the game store assistant; and Kwon Hyuk-soo as Hyuk-soo, the dreaded creator of the GTA games.
* AuthorAvatar: An InUniverse case. Hyuk-soo always shoves one or more [=NPCs=] bearing his face into his games (with the exception of ''Resident Evul'').
* BlandNameProduct: The "GTA" in Hyuk-soo's GTA games actually stands for "[[FunWithAcronyms Grand Theft Autumn]]".
* TheBadGuyWins[=/=]DownerEnding: All PlayedForLaughs. Min-kyo either loses or gets a bad ending in every GTA game, thanks to [[{{Troll}} the]] [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard nature]] of these GTA games. There are a few cases when this is subverted, however.
* BeigeProse: The signature speech pattern of all of Hyuk-soo-face [=NPCs=]: they always talk in four-syllable phrases. They would also add a few more syllables when needed. In ''GTA Water Margin'', when the real Hyuk-soo walks into the game store, he speaks like this before switching back to speaking normally, [[TheReveal to reveal to Jin-ho]] that he's ''that'' guy from GTA. Perhaps [[https://youtu.be/3oac28J1UUA&t=14 this scene]], also from ''GTA Water Margin'', demonstrates best his speech pattern:
-->'''Guard-Hyuk-soo:''' 게 섯거라 [[AC:(Stop right there!)]]\\
'''Japanese-Hyuk-soo:''' [[GratuitousJapanese ちょっと待って]] [[AC:(Hold it right there!)]]\\
'''Soldier-Hyuk-soo:''' 영창 가자 [[AC:(Confinement time!)]]
* BigBad: Kwon Hyuk-soo (played by Kwon Hyuk-soo), the developer of all the GTA games InUniverse.
* ButtMonkey: Min-kyo. As if having a subpar school report, being abused by his mom and having not got a job to this day wasn't awful enough, playing these horrendous GTA games surely ruins his day even more so.
* CharacterCatchphrase:
** The announcer technically has some:
*** "당신의 캐릭터를 선택하십시오." (Please select your character.)
*** "[blank]를 선택하였습니다." (You have chosen [blank].)
*** After choosing a character: "당신은 [blank]입니다," (You are [blank]) often followed by an order to do something.
*** "사망하였습니다." (You have died.)
* CharacterTic: Min-kyo dances everytime the GTA games' {{Leitmotif}}, Dengue Fever's ''Integration'' plays.
-->'''Min-kyo:''' It's strange... I'm angry but I can't stop bumping my shoulders.
* TheDogBitesBack:
** In ''VideoGame/CounterStrike 2: Imjin War'', Hyuk-soo (as a reporter) enters the PC bang and shuts down its power source so he can report on "[[TemptingFate online games causing violence]]". Enraged, Min-kyo, Jin-ho and the game store owner (who also owns the PC bang) together deliver to him a satisfying CurbStompBattle.
** In ''GTA Military'', Min-kyo returns to the game store, gives the owner a punch and returns his copy of ''GTA Gangnam'' to him. The sequel, ''GTA Military 2'', shows that the previous GTA game he played -- ''GTA Military'' -- messed with him too much that he reached his breaking point, and so he beats the living sh*t out of the owner.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The game store owner (played by Kim Won-hae) is only known as "the game store owner". Min-kyo refers to him as the "old man".
* FormulaBreakingEpisode: A few episodes has Min-kyo playing a different game -- ''VideoGame/CounterStrike 2'' and ''[[Franchise/ResidentEvil Resident Evul]]''. They're actually parodies of ''CS'' and ''Resident Evil'' respectively, made by Hyuk-soo, so the tropes applied to the GTA games also apply to these games as well.
* TheGameComeToLife: In ''GTA Street Fighter'', just when Kim Chang-ryul is about to give Min-kyo a nice beating, a person walks into the arcade centre. Said person is -- surprise, surprise -- [[Franchise/StreetFighter Chun]][[ActionGirl -Li]]. And guess what? She's the owner of the arcade centre.
-->'''Min-kyo and Chang-ryul:''' ''[[OhCrap Chun-Li!?]]''\\
'''Jin-ho:''' Bro, that's the arcade owner!
* [[GratuitousForeignLanguage Gratuitous Chinese]]: In ''Counter-Strike 2: 2[[superscript:nd]] Manchu Invasion'', when Min-kyo plays as King Injo of Joseon, the Manchu [=NPCs=] show up, and their leader says to him:
-->'''Manchu [[{{Mook}} Mook]]-Hyuk-soo:''' 你吃飯了嗎?[[note]]This Chinese phrase sounds like the well-known Korean curse "이 씨발놈아" (i ssiballoma), which corresponds to "[[PrecisionFStrike you f***ing asshole]]" in English.[[/note]] [[AC:([[AffablyEvil Have you eaten yet?]])]]
* GratuitousJapanese:
** In ''GTA Gyeongseong''...
*** after Min-kyo's character hit a Japanese NPC...
---->'''Japanese-Hyuk-soo:''' [[AC:Chotto matte! (Hold it right there!)]]
*** followed by...
---->'''Japanese-Hyuk-soo:''' [[AC:Hayaku! Hayaku! (Hurry up! Hurry up!)]]
** In ''GTA March 1[[superscript:st]]'':
--->'''Japanese-Hyuk-soo:''' 朝鮮人놈! [[AC:(Chosenjin bastard!)]]\\
''[kills Min-kyo with his sword]''\\
'''Japanese-Hyuk-soo:''' [[AC:[[PreMortemOneLiner Sashimi!]]]]
* HolidayEpisode: ''GTA March 1[[superscript:st]]'' has the [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_1st_Movement March 1st Movement]] as its central theme.
* JerkassToOne: Hyuk-soo is [[ImpliedTrope implied]] to be this to Min-kyo. Given that the games he's made always let anyone [[KickTheDog but Min-kyo himself]] make progress and win, it's not hard to see why.
* LesCollaborateurs: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]] in the case of the game store owner and to an extent, Jin-ho. These guys have a stash of Hyuk-soo's GTA games for unknown reasons; and every time Min-kyo takes a GTA game from them and leave, they always give a PsychoticSmirk, indicating that their "plan" of some sort is working. Not to mention, in some of the GTA games, there are [=NPCs=] bearing the face of either of them, or both. With these evidences, it's possible that they have some kind of connection with Hyuk-soo...
* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: Severely [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]].
** [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment The game store owner owns the game store]], but he also runs a PC bang, as seen in ''CS 2: Imjin War''. Jin-ho is usually seen working in the game store. The only time he works elsewhere is in ''GTA Street Fighter'', where he works at a local arcade.
* PunBasedTitle: Hyuk-soo's ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'' parody is titled ''Resident '''Evul'''''. The word '''Evul''' is pronounced "ibul" in Korean, and it actually means "blanket". At first, Min-kyo is confused about why the game is titled like that, but when he gets to the game's ending, he sees that his in-game character and the zombie[[note]]that's zombified [[Music/BigBang G-Dragon]], by the way...[[/note]] [[HoYay are sleeping together]] [[ChekhovsGun under a blanket]].
-->'''Announcer:''' ''[[TitleDrop Resident Evul!]]''
* RunningGag:
** Anytime a Hyuk-soo-face NPC shows up and hinders/kills Min-kyo.
** Also, after doing the latter, [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill said NPC attacking Min-kyo even when he's dead]] as well.
** Anytime a game requires Min-kyo to perform... bizarre actions in front of the webcam, because, well, motion control.
** Hindering Min-kyo's progress with/penaltise him over real life logic.
** Messing with the character selection screen. Whenever Min-kyo wants to choose a more interesting character, [[BaitAndSwitch the game removes that character off the screen]], giving him a "reason" that only applies... in real life.
--->'''Min-kyo:''' Then why did you let me choose anyway?
* SameCharacterButDifferent: Hyuk-soo normally appears as an eccentric, cunning game developer. In ''Counter-Strike 2: Imjin War'', a parody of Counter-Strike [[RecycledInSpace taking place during the Japanese invasions of Korea]], Hyuk-soo appears as a humble reporter.
* ScrappyMechanic: InUniverse, this is pretty much common in almost all GTA games.
* ShoutOut:
** This one to ''Film/ArrowTheUltimateWeapon''. In ''Counter-Strike 2: 2[[superscript:nd]] Manchu Invasion'', when Min-kyo plays as a Manchu {{Mook}}, he gets shot by an archer NPC, who not only dresses like the film's protagonist, Nam-yi; but is also yet another AuthorAvatar of Hyuk-soo. The NPC afterwards delivers this line:
--->'''Archer-Hyuk-soo:''' 최종병기활 [[AC:(''Film/ArrowTheUltimateWeapon''.)]]\\
'''Min-kyo:''' [[AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent That bastard was a Manchu soldier earlier!]]
* SpecialGuest: Per SNL's tradition. Where do we even begin...
** ''GTA Super Life Game'' and ''GTA Dooduklee Online'' has the legendary manhwa artist Lee Mal-nyeon.
** ''GTA Gangnam'' has the comedian Kwak Han-goo.
** ''GTA VideoGame/Lineage2'' has the singer Bae Ki-sung as the BigBad.
** ''GTA Girlfriend Simulator'' has Narsha. Yes, ''the'' Narsha. She appears as both the in-game character and the girl who rejected Min-kyo.
** ''GTA Franchise/StreetFighter'' has Kim Chang-ryul and Choi Jung-moon as Chun-Li.
** ''GTA Winner Eleven'' has the football player Lee Chun-soo.
** The ''Counter-Strike'' parodies features the professional VideoGame/StarCraft player Lim Yo-hwan a.k.a. [=SlayerS_`BoxeR`=].
** Oh boy, we save the best for last: ''Resident Evul'' and its sequel's ensemble of zombified Korean stars...
*** The first zombie Min-kyo encounters in the first ''Resident Evul'' is -- of all people -- friggin' [[Music/BigBang G-Dragon]]. Complete with a ShoutOut to one of his songs, ''Heartbreaker'':
---->'''Zombie-G-Dragon:''' "''I don’t give in no matter what!''"
*** The next one is -- guess what -- Cho Yong-pil. When Min-kyo shoots him, he recites the lyrics from his song ''Bounce'':
---->'''Zombie-Yong-pil:''' '''''*BANG!*''''' Bounce. '''''*BANG!*''''' Bounce, '''''*BANG!*''''' bounce, '''''*BANG!*''''' bounce.
*** After that, Min-kyo stumbles upon two more zombies: Lim Jae-beom and Kim Yuna of Jaurim (the band).
---->'''Zombie-Yuna:''' Hey hey hey...\\
'''Min-kyo:''' Shotgun, shotgun!\\
'''Zombie-Yuna:''' '''''*BANG!*''''' Hey! '''''*BANG!*''''' Hey! '''''*BANG!*''''' Hey! Jaurim...
*** [[WebVideo/CinemaSins Aww, man. They dragged poor Park Jung-hyun into this, didn't they?]]
---->'''Min-kyo:''' [[LampshadeHanging Why my artists, of all people? Seriously...]]
* {{Troll}}: Hyuk-soo is the developer of all GTA games, which are known for messing with poor Min-kyo like hell, yet giving other players varying degrees of advantage. You do the math.
* UnexpectedlyRealisticGameplay: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] and [[ParodiedTrope parodied]] to ludicrous extent. The gameplay of every GTA game is deliberately designed to be as absurdly realistic as possible, all for the sake of messing with Min-kyo.
** This example in ''GTA [[VideoGame/Lineage2 Lineage]]'' takes the cake. Min-kyo has to wear armour to go hunting -- but when he drags a piece of armour to put on the body, the piece moves ''abysmally slow''. The game explains that the mouse's weight has been adjusted to the piece's actual weight... in real life. Even Min-kyo and Jin-ho don't know how the game managed to manipulate the mouse's weight.
** In ''GTA [[UsefulNotes/{{Seoul}} Gangnam]]'', Min-kyo tries to outrun the police after stealing a car from an NPC, but it turns out he can't go any further because in-game Gangnam is crowded with cars[[note]]and yes, [[https://thekoreanguide.com/what-time-is-rush-hour-in-seoul/ this is]] TruthInTelevision[[/note]], much to his dismay. The police NPC arrest him and he gets a game over.
--->'''Police [[{{Mook}} Mook]]-Hyuk-soo:''' D[-IRTY CAR THIEF-].\\
'''Min-kyo:''' Shit, the police! Gotta run, run!\\
'''Announcer:''' You can't run any further during the rush hour in Gangnam.
** ''GTA Military'': Min-kyo's player character can't drive the Kia Retona because the game states that it doesn't know how to. This makes Min-kyo's attempt to escape the training center fail horribly.
* UnwinnableByDesign: Hyuk-soo specifically designed all the games Min-kyo has come across just to make sure only Min-kyo loses/gets a DownerEnding.
* YankTheDogsChain: Just when Min-kyo is about to make some progresses in the game, [[AuthorAvatar an NPC bearing Hyuk-soo's face]] shows up and screws things up, effectively undoing all the progresses, much to Min-kyo's frustration.
* YellowPeril: Japan is definitely portrayed as this in ''GTA Gyeongseong'', ''GTA March 1[[superscript:st]]'' and ''Counter-Strike 2: Imjin War''.
