In a scene from breaking bad now turned famous Skyler White confronts Jesse Pinkman about selling marijuana to her husband Walter, not knowing about the meth business he runs with Pinkman. The scene has become a meme due to the repetition of the work “Yo” by Skyler in a stiff and comedic fashion. The clip has since been paired with the Vine Boom sound effect to punctuate every time she says yo. This meme was my starting point for compositing a new scene.
Orbital Laser Cannon
“The Hammer” as it is known is an orbital laser cannon featured in the comic series Invincible by Robert Kirkman. The Hammer gained attention when amazon animated the series and the scene in which it is deployed against Omni Man became very popular. Since then it has featured in memes as an example destructive power and frequently been composited into many other scene in which a giant space laser may or may not be appropriate.
YO!
Yamcha Pose
Yamcha’s death pose in Dragon Ball Z became a meme due to the character being taken out by a rather weak villain. Since then the pose has been referenced in many anime to denote weakness or failure. In the age of the internet it is commonly used for the same purpose with artist drawing whatever character the like into the pose. I decided to use it for my composite as I thought it was fitting.
