A GIF-filled tribute to that 'Orange is the New Black' striptease
Warning: This post contains sexy visual spoilers for Orange is the New Black Season 5, episode 4.
As one of the first Netflix originals, Orange is the New Black shook up the TV landscape, and that's something you can expect the show to do for the rest of its run (and it's getting at least two more seasons).
Season 5 broke new ground in a lot of ways, but the most fun by far was the Season 4 talent show and C.O. Stratman's (Evan Hall) shamefully overlooked striptease.
Mashable spoke to several cast members in April, but none of them were lucky enough to be present for the scene's filming. In lieu of an interview or further insight into the scene, we decided to make a bunch of GIFs, for you to use at your leisure.
Now, let's revisit our favorite moments of this glorious sequence, which happen to be all of them. Such as...
When he started out shy...
And we were like 😱
...But then he got into it
When he paused to feel himself a little
So he decided he might as well commit
He showed off some sweet dance moves
Seriously, he didn't half ass this. He had technique.
I MEAN, OKAY.
When he went full Magic Mike
When he decided he might as well get a work out in
And that if he was going to do sit ups, he had to do push ups
He even did some friggin yoga
Same, Leanne. Same.
He may have tried to influence the judges
Even if he didn't impress others
LOOK, MORE DANCING
Yes, I GIF-ed this NSFW moment
And this one
And this one
Stratman may not have won "Litchfield Idol," but he had the crowd vote for sure.
