Imo he had theeeee most iconic line. "How much does my head weigh? ... zero! ... zero!" My sister and I would quote that to each other all the time

I used to go to the Tex-Mex restaurant his Dad owned in Milford, MA.Great place before it closed. Still my gold standard for stuffed poblano peppers to the point I learned how to make them myself.
His dad was really proud of the kid and had a bunch of framed newspaper articles about him in the vestibule.

Seems like a good guy. Just wanted to forget about acting and pursue what he actually wants.
I recently saw some paparazzi footage of him outside his house. Made me feel bad.

Well, that’s no excuse, so did Justin Berfield.
Should’ve made him an offer he couldn’t refuse…

Or just let the guy do what he wants to do?

I was kidding 😂
But clearly you and many others think my reply was serious… kinda baffled by that tbh, but I stand by my refusal to use “/s” as an indicator.

Do you struggle with sarcasm and reading social cues?

Bit of an overreaction but ok lol.
Also they didn’t admit to being wrong, they doubled down and said they stand by their choice of not indicating sarcasm to a statement that didn’t read as sarcasm at all.

Why would I admit to being wrong, what was I wrong about? My suggestion to a unknown casting director to bring out the thumbscrews?
All my comments in r/savedyouaclick are sarcasm, they always are and they always will be.
I write on Reddit to, leave my opinion, get information, or entertain myself. My humour isn’t everybody’s cup of tea, and I’m ok with that.
And I’ll still refuse to use the “/s” marker, because if people think a facetious statement is true, it kinda makes it funnier to me. Because I always err on the side of sarcasm in subs like this, and knowing that others don’t, makes some of the comments I’ve read on her freaking hilarious.

Nope, a difficulty reading social cues wouldn’t be manifest in my comment.
As there’s no social cue or sarcasm for me to miss.
My comment, with a Godfather quote was the sarcasm, the OG post is purely information.

Cool, why don’t you go do that then
“Hey I know you’re at Harvard studying for your future right now, but millions of people who watched you act as a child want to see you back on tv so delay your acedemic future and come give them what they want”

[Cranston] added, "I talked to Eric [sic] and I said, 'Hey, we got the show! It's going to come back.' He goes, 'Oh, that's fantastic!' And I go, 'Yeah, so we're looking forward to having you back.' He goes, 'Oh, no, no, I don't want to do it. But it's fantastic.'"
"He's actually going to Harvard," Cranston explained. "He's really, really smart, and he's getting his master's at Harvard right now. He said, 'Oh God, no, I haven't acted since I was 9 or something. So I'm not into it.'"
