Comedic warning about iconic jackets from @the_patrick_susmilch

The creator, dressed in the scorpion jacket from the movie "Drive," delivers a comedic monologue warning men that buying iconic jackets from pop culture (like those from "Drive," "Akira," or "Resident Evil 4") is a major warning sign of a mental breakdown. He argues that while the jackets are objectively cool, they won't look good on the average person and compares the act to the female equivalent of getting bangs during a crisis, calling it a "cry for help."

Transcript excerpt

I got mental breakdown. I did buy the jacket from Drive, and I just wanna warn all the guys out there that if you're thinking about getting the jacket from Drive, seek help. Really, any jacket. The jacket from Drive, or the jacket from Akira, or the jacket from Resident Evil four, or the jacket from Eddie Murphy's Rank. These are all objectively sick jackets. They won't look good on you. It's a cry for help. Getting a cool jacket, that's the male equivalent of getting bangs. Never a good idea.
