The 'Sir, If You Have A Complaint' And 'You Are Done' TikTok Meme From 'Breaking Bad' Explained
This year's finale of Better Call Saul inspired a massive increase in memes about not only the series, but also its sequel series Breaking Bad. Just when it seems like fans have squeezed every possible joke from the shows, they manage to find a new meme out of some memorable quote or scene, leading us down bizarre roads like Put Your Dick Away Walter and Breaking Bad x Minecraft edits. Now, TikTokers have combined the scene where Gus Fring meets Walter White with the scene where he fires him to create a green screen format known as Sir, If You Have a Complaint I Suggest You Submit It Through Our Email System / You Are Done that's being used to call out bad opinions. Here's a full explainer on the popular new format.

Where Do The "Sir, If You Have A Complaint" And "You Are Done" Memes Come From?
The scene where Gus Fring tells Walter White, "Sir, if you have a complaint I suggest you submit it through our email system," comes from Breaking Bad season two episode one. In the episode, Walter meets up with Gus for the first time to try and partner with him in the meth business. At first, Gus acts like he doesn't know what Walt is saying and says the line, trying to shake him off. The scene where Gus says "You are done" comes from season four episode 11, where Gus brings Walt to the desert and fires him after their partnership deteriorates.
On August 19th, TikToker @synth_wz posted a video combining two scenes from Breaking Bad in a meme that calls out people who believe that Call of Duty's "Damascus camo" and "diamond camo" are mid, kindly referring them to the email system over their opinion of the first camo, then telling them they're "done" over the second one.

How Is "Sir, If You Have A Complaint" Used In Memes?
The format is primarily used on TikTok in the same way as the original video to shoot down two critical opinions of things that the poster likes. It's been used in thousands of videos on the platform so far to shoot down opinions on everything from ice cream flavors to working out to favorite colors and beyond. The meme has been converted into a green screen numerous times for those who want the graphic. Otherwise, some use the audio as a lip dub format to the same effect. If you have a strong opinion about two related things, this is the format to share it with.
