Open The Noor is a viral Ring camera video from October 2022 showing a presumably drunk man at a stranger's door slurring "open the noor" instead of "open the door." The clip became a TikTok sound and sparked comparisons to Breaking Bad's Walter Jr. character due to the man's speech pattern.

Overview

Open The Noor is a viral video captured on a Ring doorbell camera showing a presumably intoxicated older man standing at someone's front door at 5 AM, attempting to say "open the door" but slurring it as "open the noor"1. The footage gained traction after being featured in a parody news segment by the YouTube channel Outside Edition, which presented it as part of their "Only in Ohio" content series2.

The meme became notable for inspiring a TikTok sound that creators used for reanimations and recreations of the scene. A secondary joke emerged comparing the man's slurred speech to Breaking Bad character Walter Jr., who has cerebral palsy and a distinct speech pattern3. This connection led to photo slideshows featuring Walter Jr. with the "open the noor" audio.

How to Use This Meme

The Open The Noor sound was typically used for reanimations or recreations of the original doorbell scene. Creators would animate characters approaching a door and slurring the phrase. The Walter Jr. variant involved photo slideshows of the Breaking Bad character, playing into the auditory similarity between the drunk man's speech and the character's voice.
