The "I give up" Hole is a mobile location in ExplodingTNT videos. It first appeared (on camera) in If Bedrock and Dirt Switched Places.
The "I give up" Hole (If You Couldn't Open Your Inventory)
Appearance[]
The "I give up" Hole is a small square hole in the ground filled with lava (or other things). There is usually a sign saying "The "I give up" Hole" in front of it. It appears in many areas and places.
Usage[]
The "I give up" Hole is used in cases when the character(s) in the video wants to kill themselves. The hole always appears near the said player and the player who wishes to kill themselves simply walks in as they burn to death. Villagers often shoot themselves into the hole in large quantities as seen in videos like If Emeralds and Dirt Switched Places. In If Lava was Invisible, the troll created multiple fake "I give up" holes which were empty; BaconCrafter fell for this and later gave up on giving up.

Trivia[]
- Sometimes characters use normal lava pits instead of The "I Give Up" Hole to kill themselves. This happens in Hacker vs. Bully, in If Money was Added to Minecraft, If Minecraft Had a Free Version (due to Notch being underground instead of overground), and in If You Could Use Your Left Hand.
