Love how they caught on to the walt "breaking bad" and Jesse "breaking good" connection
i loved that too DeltaEagle57... and look at Nahid's grin just right after Hannah ended her sentence about that... must be pretty damn hard on him... knowing how the show is going to roll and not been able to spoil it.. Great job Nahid! And the girls too.. always a pleasure to relive my favorite shows with your reactions and your perspective ^^
I'm honestly kind of surprised that Ed Sheeran went on to be so successful... I didn't realize he was brought up in such an awful household... I wonder if he still remembers Jesse...
He learned how to talk...and sing, even
He's doing great. He even got a walk on roll on Game of Thrones.
for a second i was like wtf
LOL
@trollmaster9696 if you think that is supposed to offend someone... you are wrong.
"You have a good rest of your life, kid."
WHY DOES A SHOW ABOUT SELLING DRUGS HAVE TO MAKE ME CRY
Jessica Hecht was so good as Gretchen. All her emotions in that scene - confusion, anger, embarrassment, concern, betrayal, and underneath it all a long-ago love... she conveys this woman's reality so wonderfully.
She ain't Gretchen...she's Susan☺️😂
As a Friends fan I was really surprised as how good of an actress she is. We never really saw much of her as Susan
I may not comment all the time but best believe I'm watching each episode but this one, this episode shows a true part of the drug world... There really are so many kids growing up like that... It's sad, I even had friends in school who grew up with Parents like that...
Jessie is a good dude... He's not perfect but... he's character is written so well... so he makes mistakes like anyone would in his shoes, but he tries...
Break the f'ing class man... keep these coming!!
SiTHFuRioN I've legit been that kid lmao. But It does get better. If youre lucky.
add the expanse to your react list if you can, awesome finding you in comments randomly. or semi-randomly I guess
Wow some major deletes on this thread that weren't bad at all.
I do both Criminal defense and child protective cases. I've seen this sort of shit a LOT. The child protective cases are heartbreaking.
Jesse is not a good guy, HE IS THE REASON things like that happen, he is the one making the drug
"I can see Jesse becoming a better person and Walt becoming a worse one."
She had no idea how right she'd be. XD
And that's why I love Jesse, there is an innate sweetness and decency in him. While Walter is starting to turn into a monster.
[Sees title of this video]
*"I ain't no skank"* immediately plays in my head.
Walt didn't get cut out. Just has a victim complex. He was intimidated by her wealthy family (pride/ego issues) and abruptly broke up with her, then sold Elliot his share of the company. They don't go any deeper than that in the show but have talked about it in interviews. A guy with Walt's talent wouldn't have wound up in a dead end job unless he was constantly burning bridges.
Its also possible that his ego is so big that even when he was working with them, he wasn't as huge a chunk of the brains behind the research as he makes himself out to be. I'm sure he did contribute a lot, but he acts like the entirety of their success is on his back, and that's likely not the case.
Your right Walt did not get cut out he left with a sum of money he sold his "Share" of the Grey matter technologies company/business he was the co-founder alongside Eliot but Gretchen was Walters Lab assistant and Walter broke up with her as they did have a "Thing" and sold his share for $5000 and left not long later the company blew up and eventually attained a net worth of over 2 Billion dollars Walt left because he felt "inferior" to Gretchen and her rich family he broke up with her on a summer trip with her family awhile after Walter left she started dating Eliot and were married
@@davidpoa7775 punc. tu. ation.
@@godmagnus your right but let's be honest it's the internet surely no one minds, and can still read it.
we all mind@@davidpoa7775
This is the first time I've seen Hannah tear up. This episode is pretty stunning. I do wish there was a way to ensure that people are ready to have kids. I don't think there should be a test, but I think maybe just increasing education and freely available contraception is the best way.
Comprehensive sex education, readily available birth control, and robustly funded child protective service programs. Yes
yea i dont see myself as a "soft person" when it comes to show.. ive never cried to my favourite character dying i mostly get angry or just depressed, but this episode almost got to me
@@rafaelreyes1732 dont forget a good rehab system for those that can't afford it.
@@Tusc9969 ☝️That too!
I couldn't like this comment enough
I don't think its ever explicitly stated in the show, but the show creators confirmed that Walt sold his share of the company to them for a small amount of money after breaking up with Gretchen due to his ego and insecurity about her coming from a wealthy family. It is also heavily implied that the success of the company is mostly based on his research.
They mention it later in the show.
Yeah, Walt tells the story late in season 5 and says he sold it for only like $5,000
They might mention the how, but they definitely don't go over the why.
If I remember well, Walter explains he seriously needed cash, and that at the time, 5000$ was an incredible sum of money to him. What sucks is that he'd have become a millionaire had he stayed. And apparently, Elliot and Gretchen never thought "Oh wow, our friend must be really depressed to see that he missed on on so much money". They suck because OBVIOUSLY, anyone in Walter's position would be full of regret for life, and they seem perfectly fine with that. It doesn't bother them. Gretchen acts here like she never saw things that way. Come the fuck on.
To make the matter worse, Walter says here that they got rich thanks to his work, and considering he is a genius when it comes to chemistry, chances are it's really what happened.
I'm not a Heisenberg fan that excuses all of his actions, but I'm 100% with him when it comes to his hatred of Elliot and Gretchen.
In 2016, Vince Gilligan finally revealed the true reason for why Walter left Gray Matter. He revealed that Walt left Gretchen and Gray Matter because he felt inferior to her and her wealthy family, thus confirming that his ego and pride were the reasons why.
Jesse's connection to that kid has significance to his childhood. Jesse was brought up in a well to do middle class family with educated parents, he had every ample opportunity to be successful and wealthy by educating himself especially the moral support of his parents, but due to his bad associations and bad habits he started focusing less on school and became addicted to drugs. When Jesse sees the kid for him it's promotes self reflection, regret and guilt. He sees how differently this kid would have been if he was also given the same opportunity as him. He also sees quiet vividly, what the consequence is for the kid if his parents are drug addicts. In a later season when he sees Andrea wanting to do ice, he quickly becomes repulsed by it and accuses her of being a bad mother. Where as when Jane wants to do drugs with him he is nearly not serious or repulsed although, she was on a recovery program to quit drugs. This scene really sets the bar for where he draws the line in terms of drug use. The scene is also testament for how deep Jesse's heart is, although that kid makes him feel tremendously guilty and regretful about his life(because of the opportunity he had versus what the kid has), he acts so kindly and compassionately to him. He still feels empathy for him, and is willing to make him feel good.
The scenes with the little kid in the house reminded me so much of season 4 of The Wire. Both The Wire and Breaking Bad are some truly amazing shows.
Btw, the guy at the end of the videos always freaks me out because he sounds just like Badger lol.
It is Badger. - Nahid
@@Thenormies SAY WHAAAAAT?????????????
how did you get badger !!!
They didn't "cut him out", he LEFT THEM.
He broke up with Gretchen and gave up his shares out of pride or embarrassment (probably because she ended up getting with Elliot). Walt has only himself to blame.
It was because her family was rich. Yep. That's the big reason why he left. He felt inferior to her because she came from money.
18:03 Look at that subtle look....."I see jesse become a better person and walt becoming a worse one" LOL i caught that
I love Walt, but I hate when people defend the things he does and ends up doing. People say he just wanted to provide for his family? If that were true he'd have taken Gretchen's money and swallowed his ego. He put pride ahead of his family.
Not to mention that his idea of providing for his family is amassing so much money that no one of them will ever have to think about finances ever again after he is gone.
Why should Sklyer be supported for the rest of her life after Walt's death? She can go work, she can remarry.
I agree, The moment he decided to sell drugs, was the the moment he destroyed his family.
@@Quotenwagnerianer it's all about his pride. He wants to be the provider of them even after his death.
@@Quotenwagnerianer Because he wants his family to have a good life. Morality of his means is something else, but the man knows that only one parent will be in the family after he's gone, and remarrying should not be something to rely on smh.
Jesse is jsut as bad but i dont see people complain about that
This was such a great episode. It was a fantastic performance by Aaron Paul and it brought so much humanity to Jesse's character.
This was my first favorite episode of Breaking Bad. I loved the show from the beginning, but this episode really blew me away when I first saw it.
I cannot wait till yall get to season 4. Absolute masterpiece from there till the end
Walt’s a great character, but it genuinely upsets me how many fans absolutely get behind him and make him out to be some kind of ultra badass hero.
I think there talking about heisenberg not Walter, there is a difference.
ultra badass. yes.
not a hero.
He not really a hero he a villain
well he is badass.. not every one has to be a hero to have followers
He's an interesting character. I wouldn't really call him badass. Mostly of the stuff he did, but him himself. So I do get him having followers. Whst really irks me is how people try to justify everything his does and even get behind his victim defense during times such as this episode where he accuses Gretchen and Elliot of screwing him over when he left them and Grey Matter.
Watching The Normies is the best way to rewatch shows - change my mind
Blind Wave > The Normies.
Change my mind (pro-tip: you can't).
Sorry, guys. :^)
@@prot07ype87 for me it depends on the show. I really enjoy both though and they often have some different perspectives
@@prot07ype87 their avatar reaction is worst than the normies
Well they can't show the full episodes on here so I disagree.
None of you have changed my mind
Man. Im just now remembering how bat shit crazy this show gets(in a good way). Cant wait to see them react
I just realized Nahid is becoming Jim from the Office with all the fourth wall breaks
18:00 that becomes even more prominent the further the series advances
Vince Gilligan seems to think that Walt was the one who was at fault with what happened between him and Gretchen/Elliot. Just FYI.
Soy de Perú y siempre los miro cada martes, I love you guys!
Te queremos amiga de Perú (I hope google translated this right!) - Nahid
En Chile también los queremos ❤️
Brasil também!!! (this is not spanish)
Colombia presente también!!!!
Argentina too!
Hannah is now officially my favorite!! 😍
zbennalley I adore her! 😊
@@caddy.duhhhh after this episode I think everyone will 😍
Bruh im 3 years late on this lol... but Hannah catching the guy almost hit jesse with the hammer at 12:16 is ridiculous. Never noticed that. She had a crazy eye for those small things that made this show amazing.
18:00 that little look from Nahid
This is a great episode. Even more so considering each character's trajectory.
This is like the tip of the iceberg of what Jesse is going to go through!
Every time i hear that kid say 'I'm hungry' I tear up. The most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen in any tv show.
My favorite Jesse episode in the series. So glad you guys have made it.
On rewatch you will see that Walt and Jessie haven't changed, our initial judgements were just incorrect.
I read an interview with the actress that played Gretchen and she said that Vince Gilligan told her the back story of her and Walt. they were in a relationship and they visited Gretchen's rich parents during the 4th of July and for no reason Walt just looked around and couldn't take it and felt inferior and left her.
Love the shirt Nahid. Nice one guys!
These 3 are the best Normie combo by far. Don't @ me.
Shouldn't it be don't 💦@me?
He didn’t get cut out. He took a ery small buyout per his explanation in season 5. The company wasn’t big then. The free after he left. He has nobody to blame. He is a bitter hack.
Would be great having at least two episodes once a week
Then all the other ppl on other shows would want the same. Lol would be nice though.
I've met a kid like the one in this episode once. Middle of nowhere, 4 houses in the field, they get water once in two weeks, forget the internet or something. Eastern Europe. We gave him a watermelon to eat, he never had it. It was hard to watch.
There is really something deep inside Walt concerning his relationship with his two friends that have built the company on their own. It is something you are gonna learn later on. He left them and they were on their right to continue no doubt. the problem is with Walt himself. And while he's in the wrong, it makes sense once you will learn about it.
This episode still breaks my heart y'all - I'm loving these reactions/discussions, thank you guys. Can't wait for the next one!
That quick little eye twitch to look at the camera at 18:03 LMAO poker king this man
As an addict in recovering (not meth) this chick is pretty far gone but if it were real she would have a chance if she decided to get better for herself. Doesn't seem like she would though in all honesty
Well, she certainly wouldn’t choose to get better at the very least
this episode never fails to break my heart every time.
This is one of those episodes that even if you aren’t really following the Normies watching BB you will definitely click on after the memories of the crack house hit you
Apparently Vince had a backstory for Walt and Gretchen that he never included in the show. Walt and Gretchen were dating when he visited her wealthy family and felt intimidated and isolated by their wealth compared to his humble beginnings. For this reason, he broke up with her, which likely lead to him selling his share in the company.
They kind of said it in this episode. Gretchen mentioned how she invited him to her family home and then without warning, he packs his stuff and leaves without saying anything.
18:02 that was a sneaky look to the camera! Really sneaky...
This episode and the intro of this episode specifically is the perfect representation of jesse’s character
The Grey Matter situation is entirely Walt's fault. I don't get how you can defend him on that. He intentionally left Gretchen and the company, became angry and bitter because they did not share the money from their success (not Walt's success, theirs) but then refused their money when they offered to just give it to him. All three are purely because of his ego and pride. The company was struggling when he was co-leading it and instantly became successful when he left, that just proves what we see during the whole series, Walt might be one of the greatest chemist of all time but hes just a really awful businessman.
Grey Matter succes is thanks to Walts research
@@elsotanodelhorror810 Yeah literally the only person who's ever said that was Walt. And we all know he's an incredibly honest person with no ego problem right?
All we know for a fact is that Grey Matter was an unsuccessful, broke company when Walt was there and that he had so little hope that the company would ever go somewhere that he took a buy out. Then, once it was only Elliot and Gretchen leading the company and doing the research, it became incredibly famous and profitable. Sure as fuck doesn't sound like Walt was anywhere near as important as he thinks he is, as usual.
@@giantWario Yeah sure, cause Walter nobel prize means his research was shit....
@@elsotanodelhorror810 His Nobel Prize was for being part of a team researching Proton Radiography in college. In other words, it was a Nobel Prize in Physics, not Chemistry and he didn't do it alone.
And I ain't saying his research was shit. But it sure as fuck wasn't anywhere near as important as Walt think it is. They didn't build and grow a business for 20 years from the research of a guy who was with them for 1 year while they were still studying! And once again, they had no problem with giving him money anyway, Walt was just too prideful to accept it. So basically, he's mad at them because HE left them of his own free will and then refused their money of his own free will. Oh yeah, that sure sounds like they're the one who wronged him.
I forgot and love how Jesse gets upset that the ATM the junkies stole was his 😂 idk why it has me chuckling so long😂😂😂
Walter bailing out of Gray Matter plays out to his transformation a lot more than people think because how he increasingly cannot let go of his meth business to not make the same mistake again. He still refers to GM a bunch of times in the series and you can tell he thinks about it often. It's the first major catalyst for him, maybe just as big as the cancer diagnosis did.
20:14 "You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog. You need a license to drive a car. Hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father."

Jesse's heart comes out. Beautiful.
This was one of the sad episodes. The end almost made me cry
i NEED YOU to react to the recent clip of aaron and bryan being surprised by the twins that played the kid, now all grown up. it warms ur heart like nothing else ♥
walter didn’t get cut out he left lmao
The deaths in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul felt realistic and pretty violent and effective.
They mention what happened later in the show, it's not as straight-forward as Nahid remembers.
I completely agree with Nahid about regulating the ability to have children.
You do realize how that sounds right?
That’s authoritarianism and a major human rights violation.
Just spent the last few hours catching up with these reactions, such a great episode.
Love this trio, keep the fantastic reactions coming. =)
Walt was the one who decided to leave the company because of his pride. He couldn’t handle the thought of his success coming from Gretchen and her parents money. He thought he needed to earn it by his own work.
Every kid deserves a parent. Every parent does not deserve a child.
Vince has told a story of Walt and Gretchens history. Go look it up. :)
What I never understood about this is how that crackhead got killed, I mean the machine felt on him, those things are not even heavy, and maybe break his neck or windpipe, but why the blood?
Jesse didn't go to murder the couple. He went to get his money back.
One of my favorite episode
nobody notices that the guy the methheads kill is Hugo
The atm part at the end really f'ed me up when I first saw it
I always thought that the cops would show up and swab the ATM for finger prints. Then run the prints and match Jesse in the police database because he obviously has a past with police.
I like how they want Walter to tell the truth but they know he can’t tell the truth.
such a great episode. Downloading to watch later in class lmao :^)
this was the most shocking episode for me i could not believe the show had gotten THAT real
TWO. EPISODES. PER. WEEK!
I love how Jesse is around kids.
Its pretty clear that Walt couldn't handle Gretchen's family being so rich and he either just stopped caring about their relationship or simply broke up with her. Then he couldn't handle being in business with her after that so he asked for a buyout to leave the very new company and i'm sure he didn't contribute much to or been in long since his buyout was just five thousand. So Gretchen and Elliot did nothing wrong in my eyes. Walt is just a very insecure person and that's his problem not theirs.
AAre you kidding? the succes of their company is thanks to Walts research
@@elsotanodelhorror810 you're basing that on what? Nothing like that was ever said on the show. If he was bought out for 5 thousand dollars, the company must have barely gotten started.
@@robertcorbett9455 Technically Walt said it in this episode, but it was bullshit. He's trying to play it like he got screwed over when he walked out.
I can’t get behind people who say Walt is justified. Especially after the end of season 2. To me he’s a pathetic guy, most of the problems he faces are his fault in some way.
?? Wasn't his fault that Jesse got involved with Jane, wasn't his fault that Jane was a golddigger, wasn't his fault that Jane blackmailed him, wasn't his fault that Jesse and Jane were Junkies that would have gotten themselves overdosed in a week. Walt did nothing wrong. He even gave his useless ass free money, helped him not get into jail, took him to rehab and supported him like a son. Gtfo Walt haters.
Yep, wasn't his fault that Walt made meth that directly destroyed the life of vulnerable thousands, wasn't his fault that he had to manipulate Jesse back into a life of crime (through poisoning a kid) when he was pretty much out, not his fault when he continued to make meth even though he already had enough money to last several lifetimes, not his fault that he was "forced" into a number of dangerous situations that endangered himself and the people around him which seems to be the natural consequence of manufacturing meth, and definitely definitely not his fault that he could have avoided all of this if he had taken grey matters money. I suppose being a cool and badass character is all one needs to justify all manner of horrifying actions. Trivial things like ethics and swallowing ones pride are for pansies.
Samuel Woo, the only two mistakes you mentioned were refusing Grey matter money and continuing to cook even after he could have gone out.
Making meth was a result of him needing money for cancer treatment and for his family, he didn't get Jesse back into cooking, money brought greedy ass Jesse back into cooking, and you forget that Jesse would have been dead many times if it wasn't for Walt's selfless concern towards him. Brock poisoning was Jesse's fault for being an ungrateful rat and not cooperating to kill Gus. I'm not saying Walt is perfect but in my opinion he is much better than the ungrateful rat Jesse and even that hypocrite bitch Skyler.
@@Chesterix damn dude, you are deluded if you think Walt is a victim in all this......
Most of your problems are your fault in many ways, are you also pathetic? His intentions were good, in fact he was a better person than those for whom he wished to leave something behind. But they got farther from him with each step he took and he spiralled into the shit.
this is the best show period. I love seeing Jessie become and better person contrasted with Walt becoming a worse person.
One of the best things about Breaking Bad is how it shows some of the horror and reality of drug use and drug lifestyle and the depravity, horrors and whatnot that comes all with it. The kid in that methhead house. Really shows how it destroys lives. It's heartbreaking. It's why...even though it's not a kids show... young adults that think about recreational drugs should watch it. Drugs kill and destroy. No doubt.
I gotta know if you guys are hitting bonaroo this year!!!! I already got my ticket. I demand a Normies camp party on roo Sunday.
Hannah’s comment at 17:50 could not be more spot on
I love you now Nahid for mentioning Idiocracy.
Watching this made me realise something I've never picked up on, or seen people comment on, the "Little rich girl, just adding to your millions" line.
If they were broke college students come up with these theories and inventions... sometimes it takes time for these to be picked up and start making money. I think Gretchen and Eliot had money, they could live off parents/savings and bide their time, and Walter couldn't. He had to walk away, sold his share for what it was worth at the time and took the only job paying for a chemist that isn't research: Teaching.
Thats why he resents them so much, because they let him leave when they could have supported him then, isntead of buying him out because they knew he was broke and needed the money.
Always thought Walter was a shit for not taking the money but this... kinda changes things for me a bit.
This was the first time we really see that Jesse is too good for the meth business. He saw firsthand how meth can affect people and destroy everything. Most criminals would have killed them and dipped, completely ignoring the kid. Jesse really has a good heart.
Damn soo many react channels starting breaking bad now, and I'm all for it! lol
My fav crew members togetherrrrrr
It's never too late to seek help!
Why the hell did Rina expect Gretchen to cover for someone who dragged her into his lies? Especially after seeing what Walt contributes to (the kid)?
This is the most heart-breaking episode in the series, but sooo good.
Terrible heartbreaking environment for this child, but this is my favorite episode of this season and I enjoyed and I still enjoy it...
First episode that touched my heart in bb
My friends bio mother was addicted to meth off and on for as long as I known her. She was the first born when her grandparents were still able to take young child and her mom was 15. Her little siblings were not as lucky though this wasn't as bad as it was here they were still dirty and and unsupervised and her baby sister watching their younger brother at ages 7 and 3. Now my friend and I are 30. She has dependency issues but otherwisemostlyunscathed, her sister now 25 has trust and minor drug issues and the brother 21 is involved with gangs addicted to cocaine, diabetic and homeless.
that is one of, if not the greatest "fuck you" ive ever heard in television history.
Well yes, Nahid, you definitely have it better than a lot of us. Look at the girl you're with: She's beautiful, she's intelligent, has a great personality, and (best of all) she's well deep into the geek culture. Do you know many of us out there are lucky enough to have a girl that has one of those traits and completely lack the other ones? Not too many of us, I reckon. Plus you get to do these videos with good friends out there. Yeah, maybe most people with an iPhone can make YT vids, but you guys really do a great job with post production on here, and show that you all have fun.
So, yeah, life is rough no doubt. But as long as you're able to have some fun and do so with people you love and treasure, life is made just a little more bearable.
Wow Hannah just surpassed Rana as the Normies bae.
I love how insightful Hannah is. =)
Funniest episode of the series, but also dark as hell.
Wasn't the guy who they killed while getting the ATM the custodian at Walt's school who got busted for having weed? :(
If I'm not mistaken, Walt cashed out too early and resents his ex for getting rich(er) off of their research shortly after.
Yep. Well he should have stuck around then.
