Michael Mckean was seriously robbed of an Emmy. His breakdown at the end was so intense I could feel his emotions!
Everyone in this show was robbed, every year, since 2015. No emmys for Rhea Seehorn, no emmys for Odernik, no emmys for Mckean.
I have a family member who reminds me a lot of Chuck. Dude nailed the narcissistic secretly crazy asshole brother role.
Yeah, at least he got nominated for Best Guest Actor for the Season 4 finale. But it still sucks that he got robbed.
@@arielemiliano226 Unless you're in Game of Thrones.

I LOVE how they zoomed in on Chuck during his rant, the camera showing how much he forgets his place and focuses on Jimmy, which in turn shows the Bar his obsession on his brother and how he was using the law to outright punish him.
Really great writing to give Jimmy an understandable 'out' for the tape which was incriminating as hell.
Amazing episode, one of the best between 'Breaking Bad' and 'Better Call Saul'
it was just so we don't get to see everybody's reaction until the end for a shock
@@NickCTorres false
I know Chuck's rant is a satisfying moment and a victory for Jimmy and Kim, but it is also kind of tragic.
Yes. I felt so bad for him. The way everyone is just quiet. Goosebumps. But fuck that guy XD
@@mykeyacosta8434 Nah.
Its very tragic. It depicted just how mentally ill Chuck truly was.
@@johanliebert4622 Yah.
Nah
This was, in my opinion, the best BCS episode, ever. Until i saw "Bagman" last week, and until i saw "Bad Choice Road" last night.
DUDE YES!!! Those two are seriously some of the best episodes on TV, period.
I can't wait for them to catch up to season 5!
damn, seeing the thumbnail on Steven and Nikkis channel. havent started season 5 but the ratings are crazy, Im so excited :)
Oooh man I love that bad choice road.
Tell me that story again.
Bagman was honestly kinda shitty, Bad Choice Road was great.
Chuck was completely right about Jimmy, though. No wonder he went crazy.
He was right about what Jimmy did but Chuck's behavior pushed Jimmy into that direction.
@@fipse Yeah, I agree. It's a symbiotic relationship
yeah, its ironical. But if he had faith in jimmy, he wouldnt ever become saul. It is pretty sad actually. Their relationship is a tragedy
@@FudGnut I don't think you can simplify it to either. Chuck was right and Jimmy would probably do some shady things even if he had Chuck's support and help but it's also true that Chuck's action may have pushed Jimmy further down this path than he would ever have otherwise.
@@fipse Jimmy doesn't get an excuse, he's an adult, having your feelings betrayed doesn't excuse breaking the law. Chuck is an adult too but he didn't choose to get his mental illness. If I had to pick 1 who is closer to the right, I'd pick Chuck.
This used to be my favorite episode of "Better Call Saul"... but then "Wexler v. Goodman", "JMM", "Bagman" and "Bad Choice Road" came along. Jeez, season 5 is a masterpiece.
put some respect on "Winner", that finale was a masterpiece
You not wrong, last nights episode nearly gave me cardiac arrest
I was thinking the same thing last night. All-time great season going on right now.
Yes you are right s5 is at the breaking bad level if not better
Season three used to be my favorite... but that was before season 5 because it's just perfect
HE DEFECATED THROUGH A SUN ROOF!
Good old seabrings
Not our precious Jimmy!
Stealing them blind !!
Shut up.
but bro Chuck be an asshole bro like come on
I love the clue when he says "you gotta fit him in a tight space?" Lol. Of course Suraj had to talk right over it, naturally.
Lol I thought that meant he knew a midget thief
Of course.
Suraj misunderstands a basic conversation then has it explained to him three times
Lmao
Normies 🤷
What was it?
Maybe if they weren’t constantly talking during the entire episode he’d understand what’s going on.
Yeah, that was weird af. It's not that complicated...
@@deanmccandlish3115 Yeah which is why you shouldn't watch a show like BCS with so many people. I mean 2 or 3 is ok but more than that...Hell No!!!! Also, when i say shows like BCS I mean those shows that have great attention to detail, where every conversation and every camera shot might be a reference to something or forshadowing something. I think only comedies are adequate to watch with so many people😁
But, lbh... Chuck is Kinda right... He's like sister from Phineas and Ferb.... Jimmy did orchestrated everything Chuck said
It's basic good writing that you don't make anyone all good or all bad. Both guys have positives and negatives, like real people. Makes them more relatable.
I wonder if Micky will feel bad for him at the end of this season...
The fact that he's smug about it and an asshole makes people not like him, and because they don't like him people refuse to listen to what he has to say or refuse him. But Chuck indeed was right to what Jimmy did
yeah, i did not go into this show expecting black and white morals...
@@gamecreatorc Yea the thing is like 75% of people just automatically say Fuck Chuck they don't even try and see his side to any of this. First he bailed Jimmy at of jail if it wasn't for that his ass would have been screwed and he would never have been in any sort of position he is in now. And then all of this shit started to really escalate as soon as Jimmy couldn't handle the fact that Chuck and HHM got Mesa Verda fair and square. Doubt the only reason Chuck did that just so he could stick it to Jimmy by taking Kim client away. Plus he was right about how no one person could handle something that big. And the falling out truly didn't happen until Jimmy decided to break the law which in turn fucked over HHM and made Chuck look like a fucking joke. And then people get angry just because Chuck simply decided to fight back and secretly tape Jimmy sure he did it by playing on his emotions but didn't do anything illegal. It was Jimmy dumbass who then decided to best course of action was to forcefully break into his house and smash what he thought was the only tape. And these are the things they hate Chuck for that and the fact that he was right that Jimmy is someone who should never have a law degree as not once has he ever been able to have any morals or ethics even when given the chance like when he was given a great job at a law firm.
Yea Chuck helped created Jimmy by never supporting him and can't stand to see him gain any level of success as a lawyer. He played basically just as big of a role in all of this happening. It's just people know Jimmy from BB and there for root for him. If it was the reverse and we somehow knew Chuck from seasons of BB and he was the MC and Jimmy was introduced in this series then people would probably hate him.
The final scene showed exactly what happens when you get things "personal".
Michael McKean's (Chuck's) acting in this show and this episode is phenomenal! Its so hard to believe that he was Lenny on Laverne & Shirley all those years ago.
I was familiar with Bryan Cranston & Michael McKean as comedic actors & they both throughly impressed me with their dramatic turns
And a member of Spinal Tap ( - :
After catching up with season 5, there are just too many choices to call my favourite episode. You gotta reach season 5 quick guys.
15 weeks man 🚶♂️
S1 - Marco
S2 - Inflatable
S3 - Chicanery
S4 - Winner
S5 - Bad Choice Road
I want everyone to appreciate that Jimmy made Hyule commit battery with a battery. Genius writing.
That exit sign was mad foreshadowing
Bruh.. I followed yall for so long. But maybe yall need to stop trying to guess the next move and let it play out. Let the scene play out.
maybe you need to let them watch how they want
@@MattMajcan maybe you need to let me express an opinion and some criticism without feeling the need to comment.
@@bobjimhonio2942 You're completely right. It's annoying as fuck, especially when they feel the need to repeat the same obviously wrong prediction a dozen times.
Wow -- Last episode these guys thought a prosecuting attorney was "biased" when she was just doing her job, and this time they think the prosecutor is wrong to make (standard and expected) objections in court? Let's hope the Normies never have to be involved in a trial!
lets hope you dont always think tv is real life
@@MattMajcan I shouldn't say anything... but I just have too.
You're making an assumption that earthandairandrain is under the impression that the show was depicting real events, despite their comment never imply this.
You're reply classifies a straw-man argument; which is when you essentially create your own opposition in order to make defeating or disregarding it simpler.
The "objection" line was obnoxious though. Which I think was the intent
Fuck prosecutors. Most of them are scum who enjoy and want to lock up people for as long as possible. Even for small meaningless things like petty theft. Just look at Bill. Fuck that guy
feel bad for chuck cause
1. he was right LMAO jimmy really did that
2. he is mentally ill. jimmy was in denial about it even when the doctor called him out for “enabling him”
He defecated through a sunroof!
lol Not gonna lie, that part in the intro bothers me too. When you're getting a call during a date/diner/get-together and you want to answer it......... then you should excuse yourself from those around you before answering it. Courtesy, you know
This my favorite episode of BCS. On a side note, there's a hilarious edit of this with Ace Attorney music.
Came here to recommend Ace Attorney remix too:

Chuck is the Skyler of Better Call Saul. Just like Skyler, Chuck is hated by the community, because he’s framed as the antagonist and the perspective of the show is shown through Jimmys eyes. But at the end of the day, everything Chuck says about Jimmy is true. Jimmy is a con man criminal. Sure Chuck may be turning Jimmy into the thing he wishes to prevent, but that doesn’t cloud the fact that he’s right. What a brilliant job the writers have done with this show. Just like Breaking Bad, the writers trick the audience into siding with the bad guy due to the perspective, until the end, where we will all eventually be punched in the gut, just like we were in Breaking Bad. God I love Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad so much.
I think people blame Chuck for Jimmy's shit too much. Jimmy is an adult, he makes his own choices. And let's remember that Jimmy has being pulling scams since episode 1, before he found out about Chuck betraying him. Chuck can be seen as a shit brother and person (I would disagree, Chuck has been there for Jimmy multiple times, he pulled Jimmy out of trouble during his entire life, to the point he was tired of being his lawyer) but what gets me is the fact that their relationship is so toxic, and like you said, the show frames him as the antagonist, but Vince Gilligan said it best "you gotta feel for Chuck, he is right about Jimmy, but because he's not likeable he is seen as the villain". Is not even about doing bad things, because Jimmy has done far worse.
@@ThePunisherSpider Their relationship is indeed toxic but only because chuck makes it so. Yes, hes been getting Jimmy out of trouble for years and yet at his greatest times of need, who is by his side? Jimmy. No questions asked, Jimmy would be at his hospital bed, even if it means exposing his whole scheme. Jimmy took care of him and his mental breakdowns while he claims is a physical reaction for more than a year. While having to work his ass off just to live in a basement of some hair salon. The biggest reason, personally, i dislike chuck is the fact that jimmy cared about chuck while chuck allowed his jealousy and inferiority complex towards jimmy cloud his eyes. While he is correct in judging Jimmys character, Jimmy has never once intentionally went out of his way to harm chuck. Even the forging part was just his scheme to help kim get back her clients. It was never about humiliating chuck or HHM. Even though, chuck went out of his way to sabotage his younger brother's career. Chuck had such a big ego that he couldnt even stand Jimmy being a lawyer because his delinquent younger brother finally found a job that was similar to his own. He preferred that Jimmy stayed the same slipping Jimmy because he felt better than Jimmy if that was the case. Theres no doubt he had a part in turning Jimmy into who he was today. No matter how much an adult one becomes, a younger brother is always a kid brother in the eyes of the elder sibling. Their job is to protect them, not to destroy their futures even more. Chuck had never once forgave Jimmy for his actions. Jimmy constantly sought Chucks approval and never got it, no matter how much he worked.
I disagree, I think Skylar gets a lot of unnecessary hate and I think she did very few things that wrong, and while chuck is right, he's also an asshole that has gone way to far at multiple points
Exactly, Finally someone gets it
Not to be negative but my dude in the middle talked all the way through that end monologue. Great reaction tho!
Zakariya Hussein Yeah, kinda ruins the tension of the scene. I notice that happens with these guys sometimes
@Lucas Dougherty i agree ..as mean that it is lol
Lucas Dougherty Fair criticism. I’d say the best part of these guys is that they’re funny, because they do make me laugh quite a bit. But it doesn’t stop me from being annoyed when they’re talking and laughing over a tense or important scene, plus always trying to predict what’s about to happen in the next few minutes or seconds (and 95% of the time, being wrong)
It just leads to me not taking them particularly seriously, unfortunately
Guys there is no use giving your opinions about how the court works when you are not lawyers. There are former lawyers working on the show and some active practising lawyers as advisers. Gotta stop making fools of yourselves.
M. Riel Wow dude you’re really triggered 😂😘
You mean like the other lawyers that have reacted to this show and called the things that didn't make sense and how the show takes a lot of liberties? Besides, the show is not only for lawyers to watch, anyone can watch and have an opinion because you don't have to be a lawyer to know some stuff. Just like a person doesn't have to a cook or writter to be a critic.
In martial arts movies there are a lot of martial artists and experts during the filmming, and yet most movies end up showing stuff that would never happen or are unrealistic. The same goes to many other things.
dont think any one cares if this show is accurate or not 😂 its not a big deal for the majority of people.😂😂😂
@@yiledute Just because they hired lawyers to ADVISE them, doesn't mean they dictate whatever is gonna happen lmao. Sure you can watch and react to it, and we can have an opinion about it. :)
@@Robert-fc9xz what are you talking about?
That last scene was so good. It was especially great because Chuck got Jimmy by out doing him as a liar to prove Jimmy doctored the legal documents. Then Jimmy got Chuck by out doing him as a lawyer and proving that he's not mentally stable. Michael McKean was fantastic in that scene.
Yep, even with all the stuff going down this current season of BCS, this still stands out as one of the most tense moments of the series
HE DEFECATED THROUGH A SUNROOF
skyclad observer enjoying better call saul?! i don't want that! ...the kino we lost in chapter 139 will be delivered in bcs season 6.
@@TonysLittleFavorite Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould will restore my faith in fiction.
You guys miss a lot of obvious things. Suraj saying "You just said this is about PR!" like Chuck was being hypocritical. Chuck was referring to Hamlin's asking of him not to testify because Hamlin tried to make it seem like he was worried for his health. His consistent message throughout that convo was "don't worry about how we look." Like damn follow along y'all stop talking so much
Edit: Mickey corrected him a second later. Not deleting this comment though because you guys went on to spend the whole episode thinking he was going to call Chuck with a planted phone. "Yes, let's intentionally give him a panic attack, thus authenticating his disease. We'll win for sure!"
This was an AWESOME review!!! I just found you guys! I can't wait to check out your other reviews!!! I AM FAN!!!!
Really weirded out by your reaction on Chucks rant there. I was in existential shock watching that scene the first time, meanwhile you guys are just laughing your asses off. That somehow felt really odd to me? Anyhow, still liked it, just different.
I do have to say Mickey is hating a bit too hard on Chuck in my opinon. Sure, everyone hates Chuck, but he's like on another level.
I found the reaction cringy, like, this show is not exactly the kind of show where you go "yeah fuck you" to the "bad guy", every character is complicated and layered, and the fact that they are so hard on Chuck (who is right on many things, he's a dick for sure, but he was right) is kinda insane (he has a mental illness for god's sake). The relationship between Chuck and Jimmy is so complicated and symbiotic (they are toxic to each other) that I could never see it just as Chuck being a bad guy. Like, for sure, fuck Chuck, but the hate he gets here is in another level.
yeah, times like this make me miss Hannah from the BB reactions lol
It was definitely weird... that one guy with the longer beard especially
imagine that, not everyone shares your opinion or reacts the same way you do to everything. wow how fucked up
@@MattMajcan he literally said "still liked it, just different"
I’m so glad Suraj made the “2 brothers” Rick and Morty reference. I think of that every time I hear Kim say “it’s about 2 brothers”
It's just called Two Brothers!
😂
Didn't Chuck keep Jimmy out of jail way back when?
They both did nice and shitty things to each other.
This was one of my favorite episode's so far!!! The brilliance of this show, to make a courtroom drama so exciting!! 👍
I come back to this every so often just to hear their reaction to chuck saying "I'm not crazy" 🤣
*Great* episode but honestly, I cannot wait for you guys to catch up on the latest season!
this episode is already like a season finale. and believe me, the actual season finale is much, much crazier
I actually resubbed on patreon just to watch the full length of this lol such a good episode. I'm trying to keep my subscriptions down becasue of the pandemic but ahhhh it's too good
Jimmy didn't steal from the cash register. Chuck didn't know that his father pretty much gave away the money and handled the business in horrible manner. It was much easier for him to blame Jimmy, whom he already most likely was jealous off for being more social and because he could enjoy life more. At least that's the only reason I could think off they chose to show us that his father was complete run over and it was the neighborhood assholes that stole the money. The fact that their father said to Chuck "Not our Jimmy" simply means that he knew that it wasn't Jimmy, but didn't have the heart to say that it was his fault. The fact that Chuck thought it was Jimmy already shows his hate towards his brother at that point.
That makes this story much more tragic. Chuck's hate toward his brother affected him since the early childhood and so did their father's weaknesses. Now in a way both of the brothers are phucked up, and while Chuck has had lots of professional success in his life, it seems that he has never been happy. Most likely he as the oldest child took a lot of responsibility and lived in certain type of fear his childhood because of weak father. But for a first born sons it's really hard to see any flaws in their fathers, especially when they are young, so Jimmy got Chuck's blame. And this blame most likely caused Jimmy to become the Slippin' Jimmy in the first place, as it sounds that Chuck had more effect on Jimmy than their father.
Breaking Bad universe is full of really important life lessons. And most concern how small wrong decisions can have huge consequences down the line. These shows are really worth analyzing a lot. And they really have much deeper layers that can be seen in the first view. No wonder writing these shows takes forever.
THANK YOU! Someone who fuckin gets it... I hate how many people go around saying Chuck was always right about Jimmy and how hes justified to do and say the thing he does about him.
Jimmy is a monster of his own creation, the constant judgement and looking down upon him pushed him to be what he became, and it was all out of spite and jealousy, every time Chuck talks about Jimmy the first things he brings up is how well liked and charismatic he is, at the end of the day, thats all it boils down to.. and he latched on to any excuse he could to justify the hatred of his own brother and the constant sabotaging he executed to keep Jimmy down and never on par with him, it was certainly easier than accepting his father was just a pushover and did poor business, so instead he blamed his 9 year old brother on stealing 14k in little bits.
jimmy did steal from the cash register his dad was giving away alot of money and we see jimmy start taking it when after the man tells him he has to choose between being a sheep or a wolf
@@alexanderwiles2003 That is a red hearing. Jimmy might have stolen some money, but the main issue was him giving it away. Of course the father would have known if it were Jimmy who took the money, but he said it was not Jimmy.
Chuck didn't know how loser his dad was and how he lost the money. He blamed Jimmy, and he saw his father protecting Jimmy as more evidence how Jimmy is being loved and how he gets away without consequences.
The father should have said "I phucked up, it was me", but it seems that he didn't do it, or at least Chuck didn't believe him.
This show constantly changes how we are supposed to feel for characters, we like Chuck, we hate Chuck, we hate Howard, we like Howard, we blame Jimmy and then we found out he was innocent.
This show does that so masterfully. Shows how much things depend from the perspective and how we shouldn't judge people.
@@juzujuzu4555idk, just because you’ve judged the dad as an idiot doesn’t mean u can declare that jimmy taking some money (which he did) is not an issue. To me it’s the opposite. So his dad gave away money. The point is Jimmy saw this and used it to his advantage, against his own family. That is shitty and highly revealing of his character, so chuck absolutely has a right to hold that aginst him. Because that same trait rears it’s head over and over, and the 1216 incident was like a nail in the coffin for chuck. Like the ultimate betrayal, and Jimmy would’ve never taken responsibility for it when confronted like a normal reasonable person. Blaming chuck for how Jimmy turned out is kind of silly because you can say the same thing the other way around. Chuck wouldn’t have been so skeptical of Jimmy had he not been willing to steal from and take advantage of his own dad , amongst many other things
I was waiting for this for soooo long.
Although I love Jimmy and endlessly feel bad for him based on the relationship of him and Chuck, you’ve got to understand that Charles McGill is a broken man. He’s crippled by mental illness and Jimmy is going out of his way to amp up his condition here
This is probably one of the greatest episodes of TV I've ever seen. The way they build to this climax throughout the episode is incredible.
Chuck does not realize it is in his head. He thinks its real. You cant be mad at a man who thinks he genuinely has something wrong with him. Everything Chuck said was right, 100%, the only reason you like Jimmy not him is because Jimmy is not an asshole.
You guys need to watch more of BCS per week. Season 4 & especially 5 get insane
Kinda stepped on the most important scene.
For the longest time I thought this performance by Michael McKean was the best acting of the entire series. Then Rhea Seehorn practically wrote the book on amazing acting.
You can see it in jimmy’s eyes that he didn’t want to do that to his brother. He didn’t do that classic Saul Goodman victory dance, he just sadly had that emotionless expression after Chuck asked if he had any more questions
for me this is the best episode of BcS by far, i love this episode, and i am happy seeing your reaction.
This was such a good episode.
Little bit of a spoiler, notice how the camera stayed on the *"FIRE EXIT"* sign for a bit?
Just remember that for the rest of the season
oo been waiting for this one
The penny drop moment with the battery is so fucking good
Imagine still thinking that people can't change after this episode, the thesis of the literal villain of the show.
This episode is absolutely my favorite episode of the series.
I AM NOT CRAZY!
I am not crazy. I know he swapped those numbers. I knew it was 1216.
One after Magna Charta, as if I could ever make such a mistake. never. NEVER!!
I just... I just couldn't prove it.
Hhheee covered his tracks. He got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for him.
You think this is something... You think this is bad? This? This Chicanery?
He's done worse!
That Billboard! Are you telling me that a man just HAPPENS to fall like that? NO! He orchestrated it. JIMMY!
HE DEFACATED THROUGH A SUNROOF!!!
And I safed him. And I shouldn't have. I took him into my own firm.
WHAT WAS I THINKING!!
He'll never change. He'll NEVER CHANGE!
Ever since he was nine, always the same: Couldn't keep his hands out of the cash drawer.
But not our Jimmy. Couldn't be PRECIOUS JIMMY!
STEALING THEM BLIND!
AND HE GETS TO BE A LAWYER?!?!?
WHAT A SICK JOKE !!!!!
I should have stopped him when I had the chance.
And you.. you have to stop him.
You...
it's like Foreman vs Ali, Jimmy just waited and with the right erosion and time he knocked out Chuck to his butt
has Micky got a single prediction right since this show started-
I don't get the impression a single one of them has the slightest idea what is going on. This particular show is sailing right over their heads. Watching them trying to figure out seasons 4 and 5 are going to be interesting.
@@keito9158 I understand what you mean , sometimes i think they forget a lot of stuff that's happened, judging by various discussions on Jimmy vs chuck and how good gus is ( as a person not a character) its like the episode theyve seen is the current one
Do these guys realise this is a sad moment. Yes, resented Jimmy, but all of his suspicions of Jimmy are true. He will never change and we know this from Breaking Bad
I still remember Michael McKean as Lenny Kosnowski in 'Laverne & Shirley." Back then, I never would have guessed that he would turn out to be such a terrific actor.
It is wednesday today for me and the time is 10:28 AM and you uploaded the vid at 4:00 AM. Í was excited for naruto man
This is one of the best episodes of Bread Or Call Saul
Hard choice. Do I want Bread or do I want to Call Saul?
You should double up on these cause season 5 is the best.
@This Account has been deleted yeah season 5 goes toe to toe with the best that Breaking Bad has to offer
yesss! I couldn't wait for you to get to this episode and I was NOT disappointed with your reactions. Michael McKean's best performance on this show, hands down. also, I agree with Rana: it shows how much Chuck has despised his brother since they were kids. he's always been jealous of Jimmy and now everyone can see that the whole thing was orchestrated to set Jimmy up and take the law away from him. this show is fucking brilliant! can't wait for the next one!
the_nikster Haha. Jimmy was not “set up”. He’s guilty of exactly what he’s being accused of. What does the phrase “set up” mean to you?
How was Jimmy set up? HE DID IT! The crazy thing is that Jimmy, Kim, and some fans act like Chuck was wrong when the truth is that Jimmy indeed manipulated the papers. Chuck is a shithead, doesn't mean he's wrong with what he's accusing Jimmy of doing.
So much to discuss in this episode. First off - Thank You for pointing out the phenomenal acting of Michael McKean (Chuck). It is an absolute crime he was not nominated for a performance of this level.
Masterpiece cinema often takes inspiration from Masterpieces before them. BCS is no exception. The BCS story is uniquely its own and stands on its own merit while still paying homage to great shows of the past.
“Chicanery” is a prime example of a great court room drama. It draws its inspiration from a 1954 Humphrey Bogart Film “The Caine Mutiny”. Nominated for several Oscars, second highest grossing film of 1954. It deals with events on board a fictitious Navy ship in WW2 and a subsequent court martial court room hearing afterward.
If you are into court room dramas - I HIGHLY recommend you watch “The Caine Mutiny”. Compare it to BCS “Chicanery” and you can clearly see where the inspiration lies.
Another courtroom drama with exceptional acting would be “A Few Good Men” with Jack Nicholson’s stellar courtroom performance.
Brown Pat is cracking me up for once 😂😂
Damn, the bias on y'all is strong.
I don't get how some fans act like Chuck was wrong here. I mean, he's a shitty brother, but he was right that Jimmy did altered the paperwork, why are they acting like Chuck is wrong? The fact that Jimmy is the main character and more likeable shouldn't be an excuse to excuse his behaviour. Also, Chuck has been there for Jimmy for a very long time. They say "yeah Jimmy brought you food when you needed it!" but Chuck was Jimmy's lawyer a bunch of times (so many that he was tired and didn't want to defend him anymore after the sunroof stuff). I don't know why they act lke Chuck has always being a shit brother and the incarnation of evil.
@@ThePunisherSpider I wouldn't count defending Jimmy in court as being there, as much as bringing all that stuff and helping + trying his best to change for him. It's like being there only in case of emergency. While Chuck is right about Jimmy's actions at that point and his illness is horrible, none of those excuse such hatred he willingly build up over the years.
@@starbog1 We know from the flashback that it wasn't the first time Jimmy was detained (also, he was a hustler for his entire life, so it makes sense that he had problem with the law before) and that Chuck was sick to get him out of trouble. We know their mom would ask Chuck to get Jimmy out of legal trouble. We know that Chuck is so tired of that that he says to Jimmy this is the last time, unless he turns his life around, and offers him a job in HHM. How is any of that "just being there in emergencies"? We know from Marco that they are used to Chuck flying to Cicero to get Jimmy out of trouble, and that Marco believes that (like other times) Jimmy will say he is going to change but they'll go back to business as always. Is Chuck a dick? For sure. But acting like Jimmy is the only brother that is there for the other is ignoring evidence, Chuck got Jimmy out of legal trouble who knows how many times, and at the end gave him a job. That has to count for something. Chuck is a dick brother, yes, but the beauty of the show is how complicated their relationship really is and how much they are willing to help each other but also destroy each other (Jimmy was willing to use his brother's mental illness to get out of a problem he really was gulty of) and how much they have a love/hate relationship.
@@ThePunisherSpider Lmao maybe because Chuck is a man full of hate, jealousy, and envy for his brother😂. Even though Chuck is right most of the time when he is judging Jimmy's character, that doesn't change the fact that Chuck has let all of those emotions control him and has went out of his way to sabotage Jimmy and the people he loves just out of pure hate for his brother. It's not a matter of who's in the right or wrong because they're both wrong. Jimmy for cutting corners and doing Illegal shit as a lawyer, Chuck for hating and sabotaging his brother's career just because he thought lesser of Jimmy.
They're normies for a reason. This is the normiest of normie ass fan reaction.
Normies, here's some info regarding Chuck's condition, Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_hypersensitivity
As Hermione once said “you have an emotional range of a teaspoon”. Lol
This episode man
It's illegal to put something in someone's pockets without them knowing? Come on man. It's illegal to steal not give things to people without them knowing
So obnoxious how they blindly side with Jimmy at every opportunity. Aside from Chuck sabotaging his chances at HHM, Jimmy was 100% in the wrong for everything else
Both are in the wrong. Chuck sabotaging him during his time as a lawyer is what forced him to "slip" back into his old ways. Chuck said that he wants what's best for Jimmy, but even after Jimmy changed his ways and was on a good path with becoming a lawyer, chucks ego couldn't handle it. No matter what Chuck said to Jimmy, he always viewed him as lesser. So even when Jimmy was FINALLY on the right path like Chuck always wanted, he stabbed him in the back. Which then caused an endless cycle of both of them bringing out the worst of each other.
So many ppl are fuming in the comments over them cheering for Jimmy, but that's only natural when you've watched him struggle with Chuck for 3 seasons. In the end, neither of them are in the right, but technically, Chuck's ego started Jimmy's fall from grace and by extension, his own. Greek tragedy type stuff.
3:17 Not Dexter, but Hannibal. lol
Rewatching this after having watched BCS, I really empathize a lot more with Chuck, at the time I hated him, but now I understand him.
Yeah, after seeing everything you understand him a lot more. His relationship with Jimmy is so fucking complicated and symbiotic and toxic, like, they are not good for each other but somehow still love each other, in a very twisted way. He is a dick for sure, but he is right in many things.
how about now 💀?
He’s the skylar white of BCS
Michael McKean is amazing as Chuck. It's weird to think he was once Lenny of Lenny and Squiggy fame on the 1976 - 1983 series, "Laverne & Shirley" back in the day.
Poor Chuck, ill never forget him helping out Johnny 5
This is my favorite episode
Where’s the Mike bobblehead
The episode could also have been called “ TWO BROTHERS “ , “ it’s just two brothers “ 😉😄😄
They said at the bar hearing, there isn't the same chain of evidence necessary.
Holy shit the adress thing is a nice pick up. Showing that Chuck did pretty much the same thing, lying that another party mixed up adresses.
The great Michael McKean, who was Lenny in Laverne and Shirley and in Spinal Tap and so much more...
Why are you all cheering during the entire reaction like it’s a football game wtf
Chuck lying about the "power going off" is just as Walter lying about the "bomb gas"
Brilliant
I just got caught up. You guys are in for a show in the next two seasons. They’re just as good as Breaking Bad.
Please react to Prison Break an amazing classic that’s up there with Lost
Get to the season finale, guys. :)
And what crime did Saul commit by planting an object on his brother that he knew would upset him? BATTERY!
3:01 “this is a fire hazard”
Oh no…
still one of my favorite episodes in the BB universe.
Watch Chuck be the incarnation of fear on an episode of Star Trek Voyager. It's very well acted.
16:58 "liar"
Lol, but the one who is lying right here is Jimmy. He didn't said those things to make Chuck feel better. He told the truth to him, he confessed his crime.
Is that badger at the end
You guys have to stop giving your expert legal opinions.
especially mickey has this amazing ability to sound so confident and talk absolute dumb untrue shit
Who cares. This is a group of friends discussing a show and having fun. If you came here for accurate legal advice and not entertainment then simply click off their videos and stop watching.
You are all Simps get a life

@@yankeesplyr23 I guess you're right but I still enjoy their reactions.
Well.....definitely not the type of reaction I expected for this episode, I'll say that.
More than two people always ruins it.Especially with this type of show.There r some amazing reactions out there of this episode where people dont talk over every god damn thing.
Miss Hannah.She wd hv loved this.
nice one guys
It's so crazy how many people it took for Jimmy to End Chuck. Like Huel, Kim, Francheska, and Mike..sheesh
"Fuck this guy, but he's a good actor" 😂😂😂😂
5:58
Seriously, whose cup was that??
That dog doesn't even care
Chuck is in the right here, no matter what anyone say
BUt He is AnnOYiNg. For real if this was a real-life scenario and not a show where we follow the protagonist, most if not all would be on Chucks side
You should check out Michael McKean in -This Is Spinal Tap, great movie, older but great!! also Best in Show.....2 solid movies
but it goes to 11
I have to say, despite this being a fictional show, seeing a bunch of people in a reaction video laughing at somebody who suffers from mental illness and cheering when that person is humiliated in front of his ex-wife is disturbing.
This is coming from somebody whose best friend killed himself because he was unable to deal with the fact that he was mentally ill. People like my friend suffer the most because they feel great shame and because they keep denying that they need help.
In the show, up to this point, Jimmy has done many bad things. Chuck is unlikable, but he has done one bad thing.
When I watched this show with friends, we were never rooting for Chuck, but in this episode, we all understood his confusion and his pain. We understood how humiliated he must have felt.
I guess we have this thing called empathy.
