Skyler White's Happy Birthday to you Origin: Breaking Bad (Mandala, S2E11, 2009) Nominated by: Axl_Rose_85 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_GiCz7nPsU" data-time=" A lot of people totally dislike this scene or dismiss it as just "cringe" but I see a lot of good stuff in this scene honestly. Breaking Bad often excelled at using cringe to magnify the more despicable traits of certain characters. There's just something more than a little creepy about your boss practically forcing you into a sultry performance for his own benefit, especially if you know everything about Ted's and Skyler's relationship beforehand. This is also Skyler, a married woman, doing this, and it really feels like a betrayal of that bond. Yeah, the actual performance is pretty bad, but that's not really the full point of the scene. The Sam Raimi-like extras ("You guys, the candles are getting wax all over the place") also feel very out of place for Breaking Bad in general. It's not the greatest scene in the world by any means, but the subtext it provides is very strong and makes the scene deserve a second look. --- Listen, suffering is a fact of life. Either you learn how to deal with that or you go under. https://i.imgtc.ws/2Q88rI4.gif <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:923390529] in Snake Rank... [t:77769474]...</cite> <quote>67.
