It’s absolutely adorable, he tempers his attitude because of his grandmother and quietly takes care of things so she doesn’t worry. And I’m positive he’s only there to take care of her, spend time with her and cook for her. All the Salamanca’s really took to heart that family is everything.
Ye he looks and acts like he really loves her and wants to care for her. Wholesome stuff and completely polar to what we see of him in Breaking Bad. I guess doing drugs also had something to do with his mannerisms
It really showed a different side of him. In Breaking Bad, he was this monstrous psychotic force of chaos. And here... he's still that. But it's not random, he has this loving side to his family members. It's like Tuco doesn't have any middle ground, it's all or nothing with him.
2 big mistakes that almost had them killed: 1) Threaten to call the police when they were already looking for a payout 2) Called Tuco's sweet abuelita a biznatch
@@sugdolomar No way a bunch of randoms would just walk into Tuco demanding money and just getting what they want. There was nothing for Tuco to gain by paying them off and they weren't much of a threat to him anyway.
The fact he even responded to their question to say "grandson" and "hold on let me talk to her" as if hes a reasonable man is incredible and blows my mind. Tuco seems to have two personalities. Polite and genuine. Then angry and psychotic lol I love these prequel scenes of his wish we got more
The reasonable and caring Tuco is solely there for his abuelita and family to an extent,you can tell he is only there and cooking to take care of her. Even his first priority is to make sure she doesn't worry about anything and can peacefully watch her favorite tv show
i think this is because tuco was completely meth’d out during the events of breaking bad where as before he was crazy, but the drugs weren’t amplifying it yet
Just to put things in perspective: If these twins didn't hit the wrong car Saul would have never met the Salamanca family, or would have found out about mike's job and therefore a lot of the events of breaking bad would have probably never happened because of how secretive Gus is. A whole plane wouldn't have crashed saving hundreds of lives. Walter would have never grown his drug empire to the level that he did. Saul would have never had to go into hiding and his life wouldn't have been as bad as it became. Patrick and countless other people who died in both of the series would have been alive.
BCS maybe is a prequel to BB, and some people actually suggest watching a prequel first is fine. But man, I can't imagine watching this scene without knowing who Tuco is. The moment these young dudes insulted the old lady, we all know they just chose death.
Yeah, Tuco would have probably give them some cash just so they would fuck off, what does money mean to him hes a drug dealer hes got tons of it but when they call his abuelita biznatch, they got what was coming to them.
This was probably the calmest Tuco has been, not because he was calm, but because his rage was so immense in the moment that he could not properly express it, he was just focused on the two soon to be dead men, Honestly the only reason he didn't cave their skulls in there and then was because of his dear Abuela.
I think at first he was extremely focused on calming his grandma and protecting her. Thats the reason he didn't went apeshit crazy at first glance. And that hits home on anyone who can understand the fragility of her and can project ( the audience ) this to a family member or any person which dont have malice in the mind and physical force to defense yourself. Even a volatile sociopath like him can have empathy, at least for someone so vulnerable. Even if this empathy can only reaches someone of his family.
He's in quiet disbelief for most of the scene, "I don't know who you idiots think you are but you've managed to push every single one of my buttons in 30 seconds".
He gave them several tests, all of which they failed. He asks if they want money and determines that that’s all they’re after. He asks if the cops are coming and figures out that they’re not. Then he asks about what one of them called Abuelita and gives them a chance to apologize, which they don’t take.
I really really doubt that man. They tried to scam his grandmother. Those two dipshits were not getting out of this one. They finally picked the WRONG ONE!
If it was anyone else, they might have been able to pass off their fake broken leg. But Tuco definitely broke some legs before, so he knows for sure how someone with a broken leg will act. Also, you DO NOT fuck with Salamanca's family.
thats a good point. i actually think he would have prolly paid them if they were more respectful. would have been much easier. but they made him super mad by insulting his grandma.
@@RyukyuStyle No way, the Salamanca family is the "muscle" of the cartel. We all know about how brutal Mexican cartels are and when you're family just happens to be the one that specializes in that brutality, you're not gonna do ANYTHING that makes you look weak. Paying these guys off would make Tuco look incredibly weak, he'd legitimately lose respect from his entire family if they ever found out about it. How would they be able to trust him to intimidate and murder legitimate threats to the cartel in the future if he can't even be bothered to punish a couple losers that try to scam his own grandmother?
My favorite part about this whole scenario was that Tuco probably would've actually just paid them off. He didn't beat them because of the money - he beat them because they were disrespectful to his grandmother
you know nothing about a cartel member if you think these are the guys that would be easily extorted. Tuco knew right away that this was fake. And even if not, he would still have maimed them. The cartel assholes bomb children birthdays to send a brother of an uncle of the nephew of an attending father a message. They are this vicious. Why would you think he would spare them?
@@SongJiangShiJin You are right about the cartel part, but tuco was ONLY mad about the biznatch thing, it ticked him off. Thats all tuco kept saying when justfiyng his anger.
When you think about it, the twins probably stopped scamming people after this, never disrespected any elders, rethought their lives during their "six month probation", wrote a bestseller about a life changing event, delivered TED talks, ran charity events, started their own families, grew old and contemplated about that lawyer with a $200 car who changed their lives drastically.
I'm convinced Tuco knew immediately that they were faking. He's experienced with pain and beatings, having doled out countless to others in his line of work. As soon as these two walked in, he assessed them and realized there was no way one of them had a broken leg, based on how they were talking and moving around.
I'd only seen the part where Saul pleads down the punishment for these two idjits... Now after seeing ALL that they said to Tuco's abuelita (who seems like a VERY sweet lady) and how they were behaving in her home, in FRONT of TUCO... Well, Saul really IS the best lawyer in New Mexico. Those two got off *EASY*
I can’t believe Tuco let them live, Jesus he punched his right hand man to death for saying a single thing to try to sound cool I can’t believe he had enough restrain not to castrate these guys on the spot
@@DisabledCreation Yeah meth also has something to do with it, but I also think there's two other reasons. One, he wasn't necessarily in charge of the entire salamanca operation at this point... I imagine once he got full control after hector's accident and lalo's disappearance he gradually became more and more powerful as he felt bigger. That's also why I think he reasoned with a fancy lawyer in a suit here, to a younger Tuco the suit appeared to be like a representation of another form of power... and when that representation of power fed into Tuco's power by labeling him as the judge (Saul is absolutely a genius for leveraging Tuco's ego to make him rational) he went with it because he felt more powerful. Saul allowed Tuco to feel more powerful by being fair, and power is what Tuco wants most.
I think what I love the most about this scene is that Tuco doesn't mention how they're trying to scam him at first but it's rather "You called her biznatch." It shows that the Salamancas despite being crazy bloodthirsty killers still care for their family, even someone as insane as Tuco.
The grandma is in the wrong. Yes the twins faked the accident but she didn't know that. She committed a hit and run which is a very scummy thing to do.
Come on, this is Tuco we're talking about. As soon as his grandma is out of sight he would've found any reason to fuck these guys up, he knew right away they were lying about the broken leg.
@@himlolo i think when jimmy was negotiating with tuco, he did say "you were gonna let them go" so yeah i think tuco would have let them go if they didn't call her that, maybe not with any money but they'd be alive
Tuco was living a normal life, far away from the cartell, you can tell. He found peace in helping his grandmother. 0:50 This was the moment he switched.
The layers they added to Tuco here was damn perfect! This was just the level of humanity needed for his character! Tuco is Tuco, but at the end of the day he takes care of his Grandma and will protect her like any good family member would do. If I had only seen this scene of Tuco, I would most likely think he was a very likable character.
@@waltuh2.3bviews3secondsago3 Tuco's grandma is probably the only person that Tuco genuinely loves. His love for Hector is probably more out of fear than anything else.
@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470 no, i think tuco genuinely loved hector as well. pre-stroke hector was actually pretty good to his own family even though he was a murderous psycho to everyone else. post-stroke hector isn’t really a threat to anyone - the twins and tuco probably took care of him because they wanted to. you can see how affectionate tuco was to hector in BB - he also respects his opinion enough that he started doubting walt and jesse only after checking with hector first
I'm not gonna lie - I've watched this several times and it never ceases to make me smile. And the truth is, I've just never known anyone that looks like these two herbs that I didn't find annoying. When they hit the ground it just makes me so happy.
@@ridnolan2029 Protecting the grandma. You can't deny that it's a respectful act. I live in the Bronx, and I've done my share of dirt. Drug dealers like Tuco, even if they were real, would never last. Drawing heat because you can't control your temper is very bad for business, and drug dealers are all about money. His own people would straighten him out. But he's funny sometimes, and this is my favorite scene of his.
Tuco's facial expression after he hear them calling his abuelita biznatch is amazing. It really fully let's people know how Tuco will act once the abuela is not present. He really says a lot without even saying a word. Great acting!
Abuelita seemed to know éxactly what Tucy was going to do, when he guided her up the stairs to watch her 'favorite tv show, and turn it up loud'. Her facial expression said enough: 'Oh my, here we go again...'
He needed to be calm too. If he didn't these two would have gotten away, he had to take them by surprise and also he doesn't want to do it infront of his grandma.
Tuco's face when the guy calls his grandmother "biznatch"... the guy has no idea he bascially commited suicide. (Well , if it wasn't for the world's best lawyer ever)
Tuco seeing his grandmother's face when she was worried about being in trouble- at that moment, both have chosen brutal deaths. Never ever disrespect drug lords grandparents
This is literally like a GTA cut scene. The subtle way Tuco uses his hand to shush them as he intently makes sure his abuela is up the stairs and closes the door.
“You called her…biznatch?” Tuco’s delivery of that line makes think he was very subtly asking them to apologize. Until they said “Yeah whatever” Tuco made his mind up that he was going to make them pay.
The way he tries to keep them quiet just long enough for his granny to go up into her room should be enough to tell you that you made a mistake scamming tuco.
If they tried to scam Walter, he would have said, "Whats the matter, chief? Having a little trouble walking? That would be the skidmark I gave ya." And then throw minerals on the roof idk, I never watched the show.
Tuco:Don't call my abuelita "biznatch" again! Abuelita:... What did you say? Tuco:I'm just saying they got to know that they mustn't insult you again Abuelita:Like they don't already know that? Are you saying they're stupid? Tuco:No, I'm just... I'm just saying... Abuelita:Ok, so you're not staying they're stupid. So, I don't understand. Are you saying that, I'm stupid?
0:51 You can see the exact moment where he becomes furious, and also decides what he wants to with them. Look at his eyebrows after they call his grandma a biznatch lmao
I really like this scene, even with all the other incredible scenes in this show. For some reason I really like when previous characters the audience all knows get to show off in sequels or spinoffs, so when Tuco was listening to to these clowns I was just going “Oh no, don’t do that man, this is Tuco he’s gonna kill you.” And when he finally did beat them up, skillfully and with his grandma’s cane like a badass, I basically cheered and said “Yeaaaah that’s our Tuco! That’s what happens when you mess with him!” It also really helps that this time he’s beating up characters the audience isn’t supposed to like instead of like Jesse lol.
This scene gave me anxiety. The whole time I’m watching it I’m saying to myself “You picked the WRONG guy. WRONG guy. Get out of that house, you fools!” Tuco has to be the most unstable character in television history. Raymond Cruz deserves an award for his portrayal of batshit crazy.
Tuco's character has always seemed like he'd be pretty cool if you were on his side if it wasn't for the meth, and when someone tries to scam his abuelita
I would be afraid to even be caught faking an injury in Tuco's neighborhood. You're gonna bust into _his house_ , lie to his face, and disrespect his grandmother in front of him??? They're lucky this is Banner-Tuco. Hulk-Tuco would have been cutting _them_ up on that butcher board.
I would rather deal with a violent cartel member than two Jewish skateboarders: yes a cartel member may kill me in a painful manner, but the two most likely Jewish skateboarders would make me sick.
That look at 0:52, those fellas were cooked as soon as they called her a biznatch. The fact that he incapacitated them with a WALKER of all things is Shakespearian!
They were Jewish imo, the twins. Just Jewish vibes, weasel vibes. Not the actual weasel, I like weasels, but I mean the insult weasel which now that I think about it makes little sense. Let's just call em Jews.
This was probably the most reasonable reaction Tuco's ever had on the show
Reasonably.
It’s absolutely adorable, he tempers his attitude because of his grandmother and quietly takes care of things so she doesn’t worry. And I’m positive he’s only there to take care of her, spend time with her and cook for her. All the Salamanca’s really took to heart that family is everything.

you seem like a person with the same TH-cam recommendations, are you ?
Is he? A calm…and reasonable person?
@@eliiejuhh8533 If the situation calls for... calm
The layers they added to Tuco here was damn perfect! This was just the level of humanity needed for his character! Tuco is Tuco, but at the end of the day he takes care of his Grandma and will protect her like any good family member would do.
If I had only seen this scene of Tuco, I would most likely think he was a very likable character.
Yeah Tuco was mostly going crazy because he was high on meth otherwise he was more chill
Hector probably had done the thing he did to the cousins but similar for him "la familia es todo"
@@waltuh2.3bviews3secondsago3 Tuco's grandma is probably the only person that Tuco genuinely loves. His love for Hector is probably more out of fear than anything else.
@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470 no, i think tuco genuinely loved hector as well. pre-stroke hector was actually pretty good to his own family even though he was a murderous psycho to everyone else. post-stroke hector isn’t really a threat to anyone - the twins and tuco probably took care of him because they wanted to. you can see how affectionate tuco was to hector in BB - he also respects his opinion enough that he started doubting walt and jesse only after checking with hector first
@@osmoticmonk His family also seemed to like Tuco but hated his drug problem, Lalo implies this briefly
It's amazing how the writers could actually get viewers to cheer for Tuco in the BB prequel.....
It was more like watching two villains fight, you don't really like anyone there, but sure as heck is epic.
He actually seems like a good guy when he’s sober and at home with his grandma.
2:18, I love how he caught on to them trying to scam him.
I'm not gonna lie - I've watched this several times and it never ceases to make me smile.
And the truth is, I've just never known anyone that looks like these two herbs that I didn't find annoying.
When they hit the ground it just makes me so happy.
Totally agree. Funny how Tuco comes off as likeable in this scene.
@@ridnolan2029 Protecting the grandma.
You can't deny that it's a respectful act.
I live in the Bronx, and I've done my share of dirt. Drug dealers like Tuco, even if they were real, would never last. Drawing heat because you can't control your temper is very bad for business, and drug dealers are all about money.
His own people would straighten him out.
But he's funny sometimes, and this is my favorite scene of his.
@@JohnSmith-mk1rj Its a different situation I think with cartels, given their loyalty, at least hypothetically.
2:47 this is the moment when Tuco decided to do something "about this leg situation"
It's at 0:53 when the guy said biznatch
Tuco's facial expression after he hear them calling his abuelita biznatch is amazing. It really fully let's people know how Tuco will act once the abuela is not present. He really says a lot without even saying a word. Great acting!
Abuelita seemed to know éxactly what Tucy was going to do, when he guided her up the stairs to watch her 'favorite tv show, and turn it up loud'.
Her facial expression said enough: 'Oh my, here we go again...'
Trying to scam Tuco is like asking for death in the worst way possible
As intimidating as Tuco is, keep in mind this is when he was the most level headed.
way before he got hooked on that crystal blue.
He needed to be calm too. If he didn't these two would have gotten away, he had to take them by surprise and also he doesn't want to do it infront of his grandma.
*2:53* I love the way he twirls that cane! That's a man who has had some sword fights with his grandma's cane before!
Tuco's face when the guy calls his grandmother "biznatch"... the guy has no idea he bascially commited suicide.
(Well , if it wasn't for the world's best lawyer ever)
Which also brought them to the problem lol
Tuco seeing his grandmother's face when she was worried about being in trouble- at that moment, both have chosen brutal deaths. Never ever disrespect drug lords grandparents
*second best
I appreciate that all the Salamanca men know how to cook and clearly value making good, traditional food for their family. What a wholesome family.
You have to admit Tuco is such a sweetheart with his grandma: soft-spoken, gentle, caring, he even tries not to be rushy on her.
It's pretty heart warming to see Tuco care for his grandma. Love the roller coaster this show puts you on.
The way he twirled that cane was so smooth, like a gunslinger twirling a revolver.
2:33 MAYBE, just maybe, if skater boy had gone "sorry, that was uncalled for" tuco MIGHT have let them go with just a small beating.
This is literally like a GTA cut scene. The subtle way Tuco uses his hand to shush them as he intently makes sure his abuela is up the stairs and closes the door.
“You called her…biznatch?”
Tuco’s delivery of that line makes think he was very subtly asking them to apologize. Until they said “Yeah whatever” Tuco made his mind up that he was going to make them pay.
1:34 watching two men trying their hardest to dig their own graves.
The way he tries to keep them quiet just long enough for his granny to go up into her room should be enough to tell you that you made a mistake scamming tuco.
If they tried to scam Walter, he would have said, "Whats the matter, chief? Having a little trouble walking? That would be the skidmark I gave ya." And then throw minerals on the roof idk, I never watched the show.
Lol !!
😂
You stoopid
ur cringe
Never watched breaking bad? wtf does that even mean
@@ChilledP it means nothing clearly the commenter hasn't watched it eiher
Please delete this. This is the stupidest shit I have read in a long time. Walters son has trouble walking and hank has minerals, not walter
Raymond Cruz's eyebrow is terrifying at 0:50, right after the kid calls his abuelita a bizznatch.
1:46 lol! the guy is swatting at Tuco's hand, what a funny little thing
Perfectly reasonable response by Tuco in this situation.
It's amazing Tuco kept his cool for that long
Tuco's eyebrows at 00:52: "so you have chosen death"
This is the moment where Abuelita became Biznatch
Underrated
Tuco:Don't call my abuelita "biznatch" again!
Abuelita:... What did you say?
Tuco:I'm just saying they got to know that they mustn't insult you again
Abuelita:Like they don't already know that? Are you saying they're stupid?
Tuco:No, I'm just... I'm just saying...
Abuelita:Ok, so you're not staying they're stupid. So, I don't understand. Are you saying that, I'm stupid?
@@drysoup3017 chancla*
@@engel1816 goddammit I corrected myself incorrectly!
My favorite part of this scene is that Tuco is a complete psychopath but he still wears an apron while he's cooking food for his grandma.
Dude Tuco respects old people and can cook. Seems like a decent guy when he's not blasted on meth!
1:52 so realistic too cus EVERY grandma is so cute and goes up the stairs one leg at a time/ with the hand rail
Maybe not every…
0:50 I remember the first time I saw this on Netflix, when Tuco's expression changed you knew they were both dead
0:51 You can see the exact moment where he becomes furious, and also decides what he wants to with them. Look at his eyebrows after they call his grandma a biznatch lmao
0:20 WHAT WAS HE COOKING
LET HIM COOK!!
I really like this scene, even with all the other incredible scenes in this show. For some reason I really like when previous characters the audience all knows get to show off in sequels or spinoffs, so when Tuco was listening to to these clowns I was just going “Oh no, don’t do that man, this is Tuco he’s gonna kill you.” And when he finally did beat them up, skillfully and with his grandma’s cane like a badass, I basically cheered and said “Yeaaaah that’s our Tuco! That’s what happens when you mess with him!” It also really helps that this time he’s beating up characters the audience isn’t supposed to like instead of like Jesse lol.
This scene gave me anxiety. The whole time I’m watching it I’m saying to myself “You picked the WRONG guy. WRONG guy. Get out of that house, you fools!” Tuco has to be the most unstable character in television history. Raymond Cruz deserves an award for his portrayal of batshit crazy.
The twins would've never went into the house if they had known they were messing with the most ruthless and violent of the Salamancas:
Abuelita
When they called his abuelita a biznatch, even I was like, "Okay, Tuco, sic 'em."
I love how nice and sweet he is to his abuela despite being well, tuco
"Turn it up so you can hear it really loud" if I understood spanish and heard that, I'd be apologising and backing out o.o
I absolutely love Tuco and the actor portraying him. This was gold
The grandmother is Mariam Colon. She was the mother of Tony Montana in "Scarface".
What really!? My last name is colon also.. but I remember her on Scarface being a presence
💯 Miriam Colon, Steven Bauer, Mark Margolis....all from Scarface.
Man tuco such a nice son he cooks, cleans, and helps her when she’s in panic
For some reason tuco is more intimidating when he stares at you with that blank stare than when he has a gun in his hand
The irony of abuelita saying that the twins are so “threatening”
these guys are such clever writers. TUCO is a fantastic and such compelling character. They literally make him the good guy here.
Probably is the good guy here
We need a Tuco vs Lalo cook-off in the final season.
Tuco is so softy with his abuelita, this is very touching
You never call a man's grandmother a biznatch. Especially Tuco's grandma.
Tuco's character has always seemed like he'd be pretty cool if you were on his side if it wasn't for the meth, and when someone tries to scam his abuelita
Yeah tell that to Dog and No Doze 😂
i think it would be only cool if ur a salamanca too
He literally just beats people for no reason, or he is mad at Walter and beats his guy over it.
@@sofakingonmynuts1438 some weird bipolar shit. I think he was softer before his addiction worsened.
I would be afraid to even be caught faking an injury in Tuco's neighborhood. You're gonna bust into _his house_ , lie to his face, and disrespect his grandmother in front of him???
They're lucky this is Banner-Tuco. Hulk-Tuco would have been cutting _them_ up on that butcher board.
“Esos hombres son tan amenazantes” teniendo al mismo diablo como nieto sin saberlo 😂😂
I would rather deal with a violent cartel member than two Jewish skateboarders: yes a cartel member may kill me in a painful manner, but the two most likely Jewish skateboarders would make me sick.
This is probably the calmest we've seen Tuco 😂
It’s so subtle how Tuco’s entire face changes when one of the twins insults her.
They should make a show just revolving around Tuco honestly. It would be intense
This is so true when it comes to taking care of our abuelitas, notice even tuco didn’t said any bad words when she was present.
That look at 0:52, those fellas were cooked as soon as they called her a biznatch. The fact that he incapacitated them with a WALKER of all things is Shakespearian!
Abuelita's actress also played Tony Montana's Mom in ScarFace
That scene showed that Tuco is a sweetheart in the depth of his soul.
I really do hope Tuco didn't forget to put on the club soda afterwards.
The fact that tuco wasn't angry or crazy is wholesome
So, they bust into Tuco's house, demand money and complain to Tuco while he's doing his cooking shenanigans. Honestly they deserved that.
They were Jewish imo, the twins. Just Jewish vibes, weasel vibes. Not the actual weasel, I like weasels, but I mean the insult weasel which now that I think about it makes little sense. Let's just call em Jews.
This is how you calm down an innocent old grandma who thinks she’s in big trouble.
I wonder how she felt when she heard of Tuco’s death, must have been very heartbreaking.
She'd probably died by that point, Tuco would still be looking after her otherwise but we only see him with Hector.
