Slave Knight Gael Declares Bluey Better Than Breaking Bad
Text content
Bluey: 9.6/10, Breaking Bad: 9.5/10
Overview
This comedic edit features Slave Knight Gael, the famously tough final boss from Dark Souls 3, in his canonical ash-strewn boss fight environment. The character is edited to hold up a poster for the family-friendly animated series Bluey, marked with a 9.6/10 audience rating, in his raised hand, while pointing his sword down at a poster for the highly praised adult drama Breaking Bad, which carries a slightly lower 9.5/10 rating. The joke frames the brutal, otherworldly video game character as the ultimate authority declaring the children's cartoon a superior piece of media to one of the most highly regarded live-action shows of all time, playing on the surprisingly high public ratings Bluey has received across review platforms.
