Armageddon was the only game I had our families summer home in Mexico, my cousins and I have spent months across years exploring every nook and cranny of the game. This test was child's play :)
When Ludi Lin was cast as Liu Kang, he said he would play Mortal Kombat 2 when he was younger and would main Liu Kang. Then when the movie was announced he bought a switch to play 11
Idk if it’s just me but Lewis ( cole ) is so charismatic in these interviews that Idk how his character was so poorly writing in the movie. Also maybe just me as well... I think he woulda made a reeeealllly good Liu kang.
Okay, it's official. I love this cast! They're all good sports and seemed to have loads of fun with this. Especially Josh Lawson, who would've thought Kano of all people would be so enthusiastic and creative! By the way I think he played the more comic relief version of Kano masterfully! And their personalities and chemistry with each other are great. I think we as a community should keep an eye on these guys.
I really don't even think its his fault, I personally didn't care for his character. My frustration came from spending so much time developing him and not the other characters. I think for a lot of people this is a defining factor. Basically weather you liked cole or not would define if you liked the movie. If you liked him the movie was great, if you didn't, you feel like the characters you did care about didn't get any screen time or development or were killed off very quickly.
@@TrevKriderX1Fourze not everyone knows who they are and they are also making subtle changes to the characters. How do you make those changes without explaining their story?
No matter what many thought of this movie, it can't be denied that Joe Taslim was perfect as Sub Zero, and he's also a legit MK fan. I hope that a sequel will get made, only so that he can return as either Sub Zero (maybe revived by Shang Tsung) or Noob Saibot. And yeah, let's hope that they'll improve the writing BY A LOT.
Dead-eye being a zombie marksman. These people either have and took inspiration from or have never heard of and/or listened to NaDDPod which features the character Dead-eye Cybin, an undead marksman
@Bwayko 0 the questions were "real or fake game characters " he is NOT. If he ends up being a character as DLC later down the line is yet to be announced. Ed Boon has not said one word about the movie. So I'd be suprised
@@tinman146 so, I'm not going to shoot down that fact either. I'm not that dense. I'm a MK mega fan, so I'm well aware of how they bring along a new character in their Konquest modes back in Deception and Armageddon. We had Shujinko and Taven as new characters that drove the story of the game! So when I think of this fact, I try to tell myself it's OK Cole is there. BUT...lmao. its so hard not to think of Resident Evil and Alice. The way they shit all over the lore and did what they wanted STILL pisses me off till this day. I just can't believe they would go that route with MK KNOWING fans of RE were so pissed. BUT AGAIN lol. I'm going to wait to see the film and where it goes. That actual characters are given their justice. The fact still remains, Cole is not in the games like I stated. 🤷
@@sethvalentine2873 You're not wrong, and I agree 80% with you. Still the games go 99x deeper than the movies will ever touch. For that reason I think Shujinko and Taven can be justified to some extent, similar to Blaze. But as MK Mega fans come on. Cole will never be added to the MK Universe as an official character. They may try but Idc if he's in the next 4 movies. I still would never consider him to be apart of that world. This movie alone somehow proved that Cole has more importance than Liu Kang himself? and with the abilities to beat Goro? Mk superfans aren't gunna let that slide. His fuckin ability is literal plot armor. Imagine that in a game. And that wont change I guarantee it. Movies and movies alone is where Cole will stay. The least they can do for Cole is make the fucking lore line up correctly with the rest of the world. I'm curious to know what you're general opinion on that is as well. Its a matter of opinion obviously, but I'm curious none the less
@Alexander I’m not against the actor, I’m against the script that made him have boring lines and had him standing off to the side not doing anything in most of the shots. The script gave him no personality
@@crimsonknight7011 honestly, a little more space and little less screen time. I really feel like the other characters needed more development and it was sacrificed to give cole more time.
wow cole really knows his stuff, shame on WB for giving him the cole young role, he deserves better, i wouldnt mind a retconn of him somehow being kuai liang aka the new sub zero.
I love this cast...they are just so good together and so funny! The movie was phenomenal and I can't wait for the sequel 🔥 so much nostalgia in this! Loved every minute 😍
A demon doesn’t necessarily have to be a being stemming from hell/the netherrealm. Another definition of the word is “a cruel, evil, or destructive person or thing.” I think that definition is definitely an apt description of Baraka, though I am probably just reaching and he most likely meant the other demon. And as people are pointing out, Tarkatans are half-demons, so the description isn’t entirely inaccurate.
@@DoomEternal There is no such thing as MKU! Lol The dude made the term up on the fly! I haven’t seen anyone else use that abbreviation, neither do officials acknowledge it like an actual thing! MKU doesn’t exist as a term! If i start to talk using only abbreviations nobody will understand what i say...
@@Summon256 Im with you on that one, man took the MCU or DCU and added it on to the MK looool. That abbreviation doesn't exist. You could say something takes place in the "Mortal Kombat Universe" but id never address is at the MKU generally. The comments be funny
Jessica: *"There are no zombies in Mortal Kombat!"*
The Dead Shaolin in MK11's story mode, the revived army of Onaga in Deception/Deadly Alliance, Technically Noob Saibot and Scorpion, the Revenants, probably a few more that I missed, and of course, Zombie Liu Kang: *Come again?*
Allow me to explain: Triborg is made up of Cyrax, Sektor, and Smoke. If you've played MKX you know how variations work. You pick 1 of 3 variations for your character that gives them certain abilities. For Triborg, each variation turns him into a different cyborg. But if you pick a character, and when it prompts you to pick a variation you press up, up, Y/Triangle (it just depends on the system you're using) you play the match with no variation. For Triborg, the secret is that the no variation is Cyber Sub-Zero. he's basically a secret character.
The cast is so freaking cool. Spread the word, we want Scott Adkins as Johnny Cage in the next one! Also whoever came up with the designs for this video did an incredible job
it's so refreshing to see people in the movie know stuff about what it's based on like everytime i watch a MARVEL thing like this they sound like my dad
Sorry not sorry for spoilers but, I have a feeling that the producers/writers of the second MK film will have Shang Tsung bring Kano back from the dead, granting him cybernetics for the eye -- basically enabling him to masterfully control it. As well, Bi-Han/Sub-Zero will return as Noob Saibot (obviously), while introducing his younger brother Kuai Liang as the new Sub-Zero (originally Tundra) -- this would be fucking epic. I also believe Kung Lao must be revived, given his soul back when Shang Tsung dies. Raiden may step in to fight, but they'll also throw in Kintaro, Motaro, another Mileena (hopefully, because she's smokin' hot), Kitana and her relationship with Liu Kang, and maybe Sektor and Cyrax and Smoke (I'm pushin' more for Smoke). And Shao Khan, no worries there. You know what? Fuck it. Russo and Callaham, just ask me to write the new installment; I've already a title in mind.
(SPOILERS) Well, the thing is the movie was basically a prequel, because even the tournament didn't happen and the fight we saw was just Shang Tsung evil plan to cheat and failed and as we saw, Shang said to Raiden that the tournament will begin soon. So, the next movie probably will be MK1 adaptation and introduce Johnny Cage. The deaths (such as Mileena, Kung Lao or Reptile) can be redone. Shang Tsung easily can make a new clone of Mileena with her past memories and this can lead to a rivalry between her and Sonya. The writers can easily say the Saurian we saw wasn't our Reptile (Syzoth) but another one, and the death of Kung Lao can be a plot point for Liu Kang. Now, he isn't only there to fight for Earthrelam, but for his friend Kung Lao too. To free his soul and maybe after MK1, when his soul gets free, they can revive him somehow. Sorry if my English isn't good. It's not my mother language.
So basically cole is just a plot moving character. Basically an easier and lazy way to explain what's going on and give a reason for scorpion to show up at the end... Plus to push the johnny cage thing forward at the end. So besides all that, in your opinion what other motives can they work out for him besides looking for cage?
@@thedeathwatcher6571 It seems that the hardcore fans hate the story and cole, but it seems the younger fans of the game love it because the action. Im not a hardcore fan but would you say there's a good balance of story and action?
@@joedragon8245 well, to be honest, the story wasn't so interesting and killing some major characters so soon only for cool fatalities wasn't a smart move. Also, MK didn't need Cole Young to be it's first protagonist while the story has Liu Kang and Kung Lao. I think the film story wasn't that great but I want to see what they have to do in the future. Maybe they improve the story in future. I just hope Cole Young doesn't turn to RE Alice or SW Rey.
Can you imagine this game with Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich? - Steve is a character tt was in RE code veronica videogame tt totally looks like leonardo di caprio. True or fake? - There are videogames based in the resident evil movies? Well, you are welcome.
In the begining I was thinking that the fake ones were really lame since they were all "X is an Ex-Something and his name is a pun with his profession", and MK doesn't have names taht lame, but then we got to TRIBORG.
Come dude. You coulda threw some actual hard questions like is tundra real. Or is hydro a actual character. Like hydro was only in the comics from what I remember and tundra was the younger brother before taking the the sub zero moniker after bi han dies to scorpion and kui lang takes the name
They should've throw Bo'Rai Cho right after REflux. I mean, cyborg attacking with vomiting is fake, and then they ask you about martial artist attacking with farting AND vomiting. He should be fake, right?

@@blackpantherthekingofwakan591 I know who he is pal, do you think i live under a rock or something?...LOL When i said "one famous guy from your avatar" i was being entirely sarcastic! People so dumb these days you have to explain them what sarcasm means! LMAO
I was thinking the Family Feud host
Armageddon was the only game I had our families summer home in Mexico, my cousins and I have spent months across years exploring every nook and cranny of the game. This test was child's play :)
I love how Lewis Tan is the only character who properly knows his Mortal Kombat XD
Except he isn't. Joe Taslim also got all of his correct and provided impressive tidbits.
Ludí Lin was probably using his phone to search up the characters! 3:19
When Ludi Lin was cast as Liu Kang, he said he would play Mortal Kombat 2 when he was younger and would main Liu Kang. Then when the movie was announced he bought a switch to play 11
Lol I noticed that
Idk if it’s just me but Lewis ( cole ) is so charismatic in these interviews that Idk how his character was so poorly writing in the movie. Also maybe just me as well... I think he woulda made a reeeealllly good Liu kang.
Indeed, hopefully he will probably be play a younger Scorpion in the sequels somehow
5:12 “I’ve done the entire cast.”
Sisi Stringer (Mileena):
Am I a joke to you?
Okay, it's official. I love this cast! They're all good sports and seemed to have loads of fun with this. Especially Josh Lawson, who would've thought Kano of all people would be so enthusiastic and creative! By the way I think he played the more comic relief version of Kano masterfully! And their personalities and chemistry with each other are great. I think we as a community should keep an eye on these guys.
Jessica Mcnamee: “there are no zombies”
Liu kang: “and I took that personally”
Mortal Kombat (2021) cast plays fake or real game characters
Cole young: "this guy is trying to tease me"
That "oh yeeeeah" was painful. He had no idea lol.
Damn, lewis tan is such a cool and great dude its such a shame his character is getting shat on by everyone
I really don't even think its his fault, I personally didn't care for his character. My frustration came from spending so much time developing him and not the other characters. I think for a lot of people this is a defining factor. Basically weather you liked cole or not would define if you liked the movie. If you liked him the movie was great, if you didn't, you feel like the characters you did care about didn't get any screen time or development or were killed off very quickly.
@@anubis520 tf we need to develop them for we know who TF they are
@@TrevKriderX1Fourze not everyone knows who they are and they are also making subtle changes to the characters. How do you make those changes without explaining their story?
This cast is awesome! I bet it was sooooo much fun to work on this movie. I enjoyed it quite a bit
Huge respects for the kamen rider picture in the opening
You know, after this I have new found respect & interest in Cole Young. Maybe he'll find his way into the video games one day
Hopefully just not played by Lewis Tan
@@abbyanderson2463 lol i like to see you play as cole young and see how better you performance will be
No matter what many thought of this movie, it can't be denied that Joe Taslim was perfect as Sub Zero, and he's also a legit MK fan. I hope that a sequel will get made, only so that he can return as either Sub Zero (maybe revived by Shang Tsung) or Noob Saibot. And yeah, let's hope that they'll improve the writing BY A LOT.
alright we got our bi han subzero down now who will be playing kuai liang
Dead-eye being a zombie marksman. These people either have and took inspiration from or have never heard of and/or listened to NaDDPod which features the character Dead-eye Cybin, an undead marksman
Should of asked "Cole Young" because he is infact, NOT an MK character...😅
I was expecting that too. Should have been the first or last question
@Bwayko 0 the questions were "real or fake game characters " he is NOT. If he ends up being a character as DLC later down the line is yet to be announced. Ed Boon has not said one word about the movie. So I'd be suprised
Every game has introduced a new character 🤷♂️ there's no reason a movie can't
@@tinman146 so, I'm not going to shoot down that fact either. I'm not that dense. I'm a MK mega fan, so I'm well aware of how they bring along a new character in their Konquest modes back in Deception and Armageddon. We had Shujinko and Taven as new characters that drove the story of the game! So when I think of this fact, I try to tell myself it's OK Cole is there.
BUT...lmao. its so hard not to think of Resident Evil and Alice. The way they shit all over the lore and did what they wanted STILL pisses me off till this day. I just can't believe they would go that route with MK KNOWING fans of RE were so pissed.
BUT AGAIN lol. I'm going to wait to see the film and where it goes. That actual characters are given their justice. The fact still remains, Cole is not in the games like I stated. 🤷
@@sethvalentine2873 You're not wrong, and I agree 80% with you. Still the games go 99x deeper than the movies will ever touch. For that reason I think Shujinko and Taven can be justified to some extent, similar to Blaze. But as MK Mega fans come on. Cole will never be added to the MK Universe as an official character. They may try but Idc if he's in the next 4 movies. I still would never consider him to be apart of that world. This movie alone somehow proved that Cole has more importance than Liu Kang himself? and with the abilities to beat Goro? Mk superfans aren't gunna let that slide. His fuckin ability is literal plot armor. Imagine that in a game. And that wont change I guarantee it. Movies and movies alone is where Cole will stay. The least they can do for Cole is make the fucking lore line up correctly with the rest of the world. I'm curious to know what you're general opinion on that is as well. Its a matter of opinion obviously, but I'm curious none the less
Man, if only Cole Young was this interesting in the movie and had this energy
@Alexander I’m not against the actor, I’m against the script that made him have boring lines and had him standing off to the side not doing anything in most of the shots. The script gave him no personality
@@crimsonknight7011 honestly, a little more space and little less screen time. I really feel like the other characters needed more development and it was sacrificed to give cole more time.
I’m very impressed that Lewis knows his stuff
I'm socked I knew these when I don't play the game and haven't seen a thing about the games in years. 😂
2:49 there's no zombies!
Liu Kang : *sweats intensely*
"There's no zombies in MK"
Zombie Liu Kang tho XD
"A character based entirely around vomiting".. Oh, so it's Bo Rai Cho?
Well, not entirely.
wow cole really knows his stuff, shame on WB for giving him the cole young role, he deserves better, i wouldnt mind a retconn of him somehow being kuai liang aka the new sub zero.
Wow Doyle drawing at the begining, i was just waiting to be asked for
I’m so happy at least one person knew it was a real person
I love this cast...they are just so good together and so funny! The movie was phenomenal and I can't wait for the sequel 🔥 so much nostalgia in this! Loved every minute 😍
Why did they call Baraka a demon tho he's a tarkatan warrior lol
Calling him a mutant could have been correct.
Well originally Tarkatans where a mix of Netherrealm demons and Outworld inhabitants so it isn't entirely wrong
Tarkatans are half demons and half humans.
A demon doesn’t necessarily have to be a being stemming from hell/the netherrealm. Another definition of the word is “a cruel, evil, or destructive person or thing.” I think that definition is definitely an apt description of Baraka, though I am probably just reaching and he most likely meant the other demon. And as people are pointing out, Tarkatans are half-demons, so the description isn’t entirely inaccurate.
i love how sub-zeros mic is so bad
Now I really want Dead Eye in the MKU lol
What MK is an MKU?! Lol
Like Unchained for GBA or something?! Lol
@@Summon256 The MKU is the Mortal Kombat Universe.
@@DoomEternal There is no such thing as MKU! Lol The dude made the term up on the fly! I haven’t seen anyone else use that abbreviation, neither do officials acknowledge it like an actual thing! MKU doesn’t exist as a term! If i start to talk using only abbreviations nobody will understand what i say...
@@Summon256 Im with you on that one, man took the MCU or DCU and added it on to the MK looool. That abbreviation doesn't exist. You could say something takes place in the "Mortal Kombat Universe" but id never address is at the MKU generally. The comments be funny
I love how Josh just talking normally sounds so much like Kano. The movie nailed the cast
I don't know the actor playing Kano anywhere, i just wanna say he's a different person entirely off-cam and it's amazing 😂
Ikr he's barely recognizable
imagine at the Josh fight seeing Kano's actor
Could've just used the Mortal Kombat Armageddon characters and confuse them lmao
Mortal Kombat Armageddon have ton of characters XD
Jessica: *"There are no zombies in Mortal Kombat!"*
The Dead Shaolin in MK11's story mode, the revived army of Onaga in Deception/Deadly Alliance, Technically Noob Saibot and Scorpion, the Revenants, probably a few more that I missed, and of course, Zombie Liu Kang: *Come again?*

“Tri”borg made up of 4 characters? That doesn’t seem right. Lol
I was wondering the same thing I was like hold up, shouldn't it be Quadborg? Doesn't sound as good though.
Allow me to explain: Triborg is made up of Cyrax, Sektor, and Smoke. If you've played MKX you know how variations work. You pick 1 of 3 variations for your character that gives them certain abilities. For Triborg, each variation turns him into a different cyborg. But if you pick a character, and when it prompts you to pick a variation you press up, up, Y/Triangle (it just depends on the system you're using) you play the match with no variation. For Triborg, the secret is that the no variation is Cyber Sub-Zero. he's basically a secret character.
he's named triborg, cause he was advertised as only being 3 robots mixed together, but there's a secret 4th robot in there,
Lewis Tan is a gamer he knows his characters, looking forward for the sequel!!!
This is how Cole Young has grew on me!
His acting did no favours
@@abbyanderson2463 jfc you're in every comment that praises cole young. he was great in the movie. get a life ✌🏼
@@abbyanderson2463 Omg dude you spent time in commenting every single comment that praises cole young, you have a life dude?
Love not only that Kamen Rider in the intro but the modified Ultraman for one of the fake MK characters
The cast is so freaking cool. Spread the word, we want Scott Adkins as Johnny Cage in the next one! Also whoever came up with the designs for this video did an incredible job
No Scott Adkins doesn't have comedic timing
Cage is naturally funny Scott will try too hard, he's got the skill but not the acting chops
@@jonathankhan7184 ^^^ I mean plus he doesn't exactly scream a English accent comedic cocky "Hollywood Actor" either. Scott would never work I agree
« is baraka real »
« yes its baraka »
-Joe Taslim, 2021
Only the true fans know the characters ayoo where they at
“Triborg= combination of 4 different cyborgs” @ 3:58. Nice! I didn’t know 3 can also mean 4.
They counted Cyber Sub in their for no reason lol Its not like Tri-borg means 3 or anything. they goofed
@@NikoGoKrazy Triborg has a secret variation in Cyber Sub-Zero, so yes he does have 4 cyborgs/robots
@@Shadowgaming105 I’m aware, but regardless his name is not Quadborg. So technically it’s still 3. Regardless if Cyber Sub is a character or not
Joe Taslim !!
it's so refreshing to see people in the movie know stuff about what it's based on like everytime i watch a MARVEL thing like this they sound like my dad
I’ve just been sitting here laughing so hard at “Paul Hollywood”
Whoever came up with that needs a raise
That's a nice Sketch of Triborg on 3:41 Nice job
I hope Scott Adkins will play Johnny Cage in the sequel.
I think he’s too serious for Johnny, he’s a great fighter so I think he’d be a better qui Liang
He would be awesome in this film
@@max.z.2809 but Qui Liang is Chinese, and all of us don’t want our favorite characters change their races
@@V-95K yeah that’s the only issue if he keeps the mask on the whole time it could work
The guy doesn't have the charisma for Johnny, he can't act
The floral one was close. Theres actually an MK11 Character that can do that named Centrion. I will be surprised if they dont mention Meat or Mokap
2:35 That would be a cool character in MK
Also, why hasn’t the actor of Scorpion showed up in any of the kast interviews?
Hiroyuki Sanada doesn't have a good time speaking english. I guess that's probably why.
@@troglodjeeta But I’ve heard him in the Army Of The Dead trailer. And he somewhat speaks English clearly
@@HorrorCritical maybe because he knows his lines in advance

The way Josh looks to the side when she says “you’re dead eye” 😂😂😂 no spoilers teehee
Sorry not sorry for spoilers but, I have a feeling that the producers/writers of the second MK film will have Shang Tsung bring Kano back from the dead, granting him cybernetics for the eye -- basically enabling him to masterfully control it. As well, Bi-Han/Sub-Zero will return as Noob Saibot (obviously), while introducing his younger brother Kuai Liang as the new Sub-Zero (originally Tundra) -- this would be fucking epic. I also believe Kung Lao must be revived, given his soul back when Shang Tsung dies. Raiden may step in to fight, but they'll also throw in Kintaro, Motaro, another Mileena (hopefully, because she's smokin' hot), Kitana and her relationship with Liu Kang, and maybe Sektor and Cyrax and Smoke (I'm pushin' more for Smoke). And Shao Khan, no worries there. You know what? Fuck it. Russo and Callaham, just ask me to write the new installment; I've already a title in mind.
(SPOILERS) Well, the thing is the movie was basically a prequel, because even the tournament didn't happen and the fight we saw was just Shang Tsung evil plan to cheat and failed and as we saw, Shang said to Raiden that the tournament will begin soon. So, the next movie probably will be MK1 adaptation and introduce Johnny Cage. The deaths (such as Mileena, Kung Lao or Reptile) can be redone. Shang Tsung easily can make a new clone of Mileena with her past memories and this can lead to a rivalry between her and Sonya. The writers can easily say the Saurian we saw wasn't our Reptile (Syzoth) but another one, and the death of Kung Lao can be a plot point for Liu Kang. Now, he isn't only there to fight for Earthrelam, but for his friend Kung Lao too. To free his soul and maybe after MK1, when his soul gets free, they can revive him somehow. Sorry if my English isn't good. It's not my mother language.
So basically cole is just a plot moving character. Basically an easier and lazy way to explain what's going on and give a reason for scorpion to show up at the end... Plus to push the johnny cage thing forward at the end. So besides all that, in your opinion what other motives can they work out for him besides looking for cage?
@@joedragon8245 Actually, I don't know what's their plan for Cole, but I hope he doesn't become the RE Alice of Mortal Kombat.
@@thedeathwatcher6571 It seems that the hardcore fans hate the story and cole, but it seems the younger fans of the game love it because the action. Im not a hardcore fan but would you say there's a good balance of story and action?
@@joedragon8245 well, to be honest, the story wasn't so interesting and killing some major characters so soon only for cool fatalities wasn't a smart move. Also, MK didn't need Cole Young to be it's first protagonist while the story has Liu Kang and Kung Lao. I think the film story wasn't that great but I want to see what they have to do in the future. Maybe they improve the story in future. I just hope Cole Young doesn't turn to RE Alice or SW Rey.
Kyro needs to be a real MK character, even the name sounds badass.
Make him look like DBS's Lord Beerus but MK-ified, and his fatality is he takes all your organs out and wraps you up like a mummy.
Can you imagine this game with Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich?
- Steve is a character tt was in RE code veronica videogame tt totally looks like leonardo di caprio. True or fake?
- There are videogames based in the resident evil movies? Well, you are welcome.
mostly I was impressed that sub zeros actor knew who kuai liang was
He's actually a fan of the games. Ironically, he often chooses Scorpion to play as.
Lewis tan has so much more personality than his character it’s a shame the writers couldn’t give him more to work with.
He literally couldn’t have asked worse questions than this
I actually love this cast this makes me me like coal a bit more
In the begining I was thinking that the fake ones were really lame since they were all "X is an Ex-Something and his name is a pun with his profession", and MK doesn't have names taht lame, but then we got to TRIBORG.
The international names are the dumbest ones. Borraicho = drunken man, mavado = evil man, shujinko = protagonist, kenshi = swordsman, hotaru = flag.
Come dude. You coulda threw some actual hard questions like is tundra real. Or is hydro a actual character. Like hydro was only in the comics from what I remember and tundra was the younger brother before taking the the sub zero moniker after bi han dies to scorpion and kui lang takes the name
They should've throw Bo'Rai Cho right after REflux. I mean, cyborg attacking with vomiting is fake, and then they ask you about martial artist attacking with farting AND vomiting. He should be fake, right?
"You're a dead eye"
Sonya just spoiled the movie right there 🤣🤣🤣
We need more of this 🤣
