The 'Dean Norris Sussy Baka' meme stems from a 2021 Cameo video where actor Dean Norris, best known for his role as Hank Schrader in Breaking Bad, was paid to say the phrase 'Don't be such a sussy baka.' The term 'sussy' originated from the game Among Us, while 'baka' is Japanese for fool, a pairing popular in ironic anime and gaming communities. The internet found the sight of a serious, high-profile actor reciting Gen Z brainrot slang incredibly surreal and hilarious. It quickly became a viral sensation on TikTok and Twitter, often used to satirize the 'Among Us' obsession or to create ironic crossovers between the Breaking Bad universe and modern internet subcultures.
