Sir, If You Have a Complaint I Suggest You Submit It Through Our Email System, also known as You Are Done, is a TikTok green screen format that splices two Gus Fring scenes from Breaking Bad into a dismissive retort. TikToker @synth_wz posted the earliest known combined edit on August 19, 2022, and copycat videos about Call of Duty skins, Kanye West and Minecraft each topped a million views on TikTok within two weeks.

Overview

A typical video shows the creator on camera against a green screen, saying an opinion they expect viewers to disagree with. The clip then cuts to Gus Fring telling Walter White to submit his complaint through the restaurant's email system, immediately followed by Fring's later 'You are done' line from season four1. Together the two clips land as a flat corporate brush-off, which is the whole joke2.

Early viral uses targeted gaming takes such as Call of Duty cosmetics2 and Minecraft discourse6, while others aimed at music fans arguing Kanye West was 'mid'5. Later videos stretched to gym culture7 and lip-synced self-roasts in which the creator mouths Fring's lines along with the audio8. The two Fring clips and their original sounds spread on TikTok independently, letting users graft the reply onto unrelated setups3.

In Breaking Bad season two episode 11, Walter White visits Gus Fring at Los Pollos Hermanos to pitch a meth distribution partnership. Fring plays dumb, telling White, 'Sir, if you have a complaint I suggest you submit it through our email system. I would be happy to refer you to our website'1. Two seasons later, in season four episode 11, Fring fires White with the line, 'You are done. Fired. Do not show your face at the laundry again'3.

TikToker @synth_wz stitched these two moments into a single green screen reaction on August 19, 2022, using them to dismiss complaints that two Call of Duty skins were 'mid'2. The edit reached over 200,000 views in its first two weeks on the platform3.

How It Spread

Follow-up edits from @synth_wz and other users spread the audio within days. The creator posted a second version on August 20, 2022, which reached over 800,000 views in two weeks4. On August 21, @caysont adapted the format to a take about Kanye West being 'mid' and reached more than 1.3 million views in a fortnight5. @wizzard_of_hazz posted a Minecraft version on August 23 that passed 1.8 million views in just over a week6.

By late August, the format spread beyond gaming and music discourse. On August 30, @weakestwheyenjoyer applied the Fring brush-off to workout opinions and collected more than a million views in three days7. On September 1, @ethanistic uploaded a lip dubbed version that hit over 900,000 views in a single day8. The two original TikTok sounds extracted from these videos stayed in rotation through the fall of 2022 as a stock comeback to any 'mid' opinion3.

How to Use This Meme

Typical posts start with the creator on camera against a green screen, stating the take or complaint they want to mock. The video then cuts to the Gus Fring email line and finishes with his 'You are done' dismissal, often using one of the popular TikTok sounds that pair both clips2. Many creators do not reappear after the cut, letting Fring's deadpan voice carry the punchline alone.
