Hank is a very good cop and has great instincts (with Tuco, Jesse, fake Heisenberg here), with ONE big exception: Walt. The thing is, his judgement is totally clouded by the fact that he sees Walt as a weak, lame school teacher. Hank likes him, but as the inoffensive nerd who did his homework in high school. So do Walt's entire family. They can't imagine Walt being tough or dishonest, let alone a criminal like Heisenberg. Sometimes prejudice clouds your judgment so hard that you can't see what's right in front of you, no matter how good you are as a detective.
Spirit of the Fox I mean even if hank thought walt was a fucking badass I doubt he would think he is Heisenberg. You don’t expect your family todo that sort of thing
And for that exact reason, walt loves being heisenberg. Everyone sees the normal walter white as a weak, nerdy, and scared little man. But when he's heisenberg people fear him, people listen to him, people recognize him for the powerhouse he is. Heisenberg is his escape from this veiw people have built up FOR him. This is what he is talking about when he is comforting hank. People have built up this life and image of walt for him, he didnt get to do it himself, he had no control of how people saw him or how his life went. But he does when he puts on those glasses and that black hat. Heisenberg is his way of going out and punching fear in teeth, as he told hank to do.
Especially after all those years (20 was it? Close enough)...someone's character you get used to and expect it....then factor in the cancer diagnosis and he would be feeling so bad for him with Marie constantly reinforcing it....Hank basically sees Walt on his last legs right now too...Hank may even be focused on, as he mentioned, taking care of Skyler, Walt Jr and Holly at this point.
I never really understood the whole like bully scenario fantasy that people seem to see with hank and Walt. Like when did hank say that walt isn’t a real man? All I can think of is hank jokingly implying that walt wasn’t a real man at his party. But that’s what it is. A joke. Hank says the same stuff to Steve Gomez
@@hunterlee3353 you misunderstood our comments. Nobody says that Hank despises Walt and doesn't see him as a "real man", but he doesn't see him as anything else but a harmless nerdy school teacher. Nothing wrong with that. This is the image that Walt himself projected for at least 2 decades. Hank likes Walt. So does Walt's stepsister, his wife and his own son. They just can't see the obvious reality because their judgment is clouded by that image. Tuco matches the image of the drug dealer, not Walt. He's a suburban family guy, a nerd, and he's litterally... White! How could he be a drug lord? PS yeah, I know, I introduced race in the debate, but let's be honest here... when you say "drug dealer", who do you picture? Walt or Tuco?
Saul is not threatening nor blackmailing Walt. Walt is represented by Saul and therefore Saul as a lawyer cant speak to anyone about Walt. It was merely a suggestion to let him help them out since every time they make money something happens and they have to spend it all to fix the problem. Saul is offering to help with that situation. :)

One was an i formant. And Saul was his attorney. But yes, help them keep their money if he is hired. But now he knows who he is!

A police officer can't entice you to commit a crime that you wouldn't have otherwise committed. That's called entrapment. If you're already dealing drugs, then a cop can come up to you and ask to buy some, because you were already in the business of selling them. But if you're a random person on the street and a cop comes up to you and says "hey, do you want to make some quick cash selling drugs for me", that would be entrapment.
Buying drugs is logically entrapment even if it's not by law. Only if the seller itself asks "do you want..." etc. it's legit crime. Same goes for bait cars.
Austin Kilgore bait cars are “enticing” because they’re very nice cars placed in areas where lots of cars already get stolen. They’re not trying to just get any random person to steal a car, they’re specifically going for people who are already car thieves. Now, if they parked the car in right in front of some random person’s house, left the window down and the keys in the ignition, and put a big sign on the car that says “please take this vehicle,” that would be a different story.

Saul Goodman is one of the most famous characters in the last two decades of television, if not in history......Amazingly, there are several more famous characters coming that are just as good and even better...The realization of this character something special by all involved- Bob Odenkirk, Peter Gould, Vince Gilligan, and the rest of the Breaking Bad writers.
g henry I recently watched a 10 year anniversary interview with Vince & the cast & it sounded like by the end of season 2, Vince was already thinking of a show for Saul
If you're committed enough, you can make any comment work. I once told a youtuber I was Bob Odenkirk, and it worked because I believed it. But I've had this username sense BB season 4 was being aired. You can only roleplay for so long.
This was definitely the funniest episode so far. Saul's intro was hilarious, and the part when Badger almost screwed up the fake bust, I just couldn't stop laughing. Saul's encounter with Walter in the class room was pure genius. :)
Bob is on 4 of the greatest shows of all time: Mr Show, a hilarious sketch show with David Cross on HBO in the mid-90s (helped introduce Jack Black and Tenacious D), The Larry Sanders Show, the first iteration of the superagent Ari (later done by Jeremy Piven, and one could argue a basis for Saul Goodman as Peter Gould remembered him as the backstabbing agent) was Bob's first semi-regular dramatic role, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. And, unfortunately, he was used as too specific a character to warrant a reappearance in Arrested Development, reunited with David Cross in a hilarious scene.
The situation with the guy that will go to jail for you reminds me of shawshank redemption and a character named brooks. Amazing movie and they call it "institutionalized" in the movie. It's exactly what Nikki describes
Bob Odenkirk's delivery of his catchphrase at the end of the episode is amazing. This episode kept me watching BB, and I was hooked on BCS from the moment it was announced. The premiere all the way through to the end rewarded that early faith in it. One of my two favorite shows ever, behind only The Wire. The depth of characters created from throwaway lines was a highwater mark for the medium of television.
What's funny is that a bunch of plotlines that were scrapped for breaking bad had an inside joke around them from the writers where they would sarcastically say "we'll save that idea for the Saul Goodman spinoff" But then the Saul Goodman spin off actually happened and it's arguably better than BB
@@Haddonfield63 really, you don't know what I'm seeing? Great acting, great plot, great character development, great pacing, action, suspense, great camera work, I could go on. Its one of the highest rated shows of all time, and for a good reason. Better call Saul has a lot of these qualities too and I still think it's a great show, but I also think breaking bad does most of these things better and the majority agrees. It's fine if you prefer BCS, but you're full of shit if you "don't know what I'm seeing". And saying it's "much" better is a stretch if I've ever seen one
@@softbleach487 notice how I used the word "arguably". As much as I enjoy Better Call Saul and think it has the potential to surpass breaking bad, I'm not calling it until BCS ends. If BCS can have a terrific finale I think that will push it over
Breaking Bad is one of the best shows ever... it's similar to other great crime dramas like The Sopranos, Sons of Anarchy or Ray Donovan in that the main character has family drama to deal with + some exciting, dangerous criminal undertaking, which makes it very compelling to watch. Plus, Breaking Bad makes great use of dramatic irony (like the secrets Walt is keeping from his family) as well as great character and character pairings with lots of conflict (Walt and Jesse are so entertaining together because they are so different)... so much more good stuff to come 💙♾🚛
Thank you for your hard work Steven and Nikki for dishing out these BB reactions it’s definitely showing out how much you put out to us viewers. You guys are amazing, keep it up can’t wait for more BB!
I started watching Better Call Saul but because of time restraints at the time stopped midway through the first season and now it's been so long since Breaking Bad/those first few episodes of BCS that I never had the motivation to get back into it because I've forgotten a lot. Through these reactions I get to watch a recapped version of the series through your eyes and will be ready to get back into Better Call Saul once you're done so thanks!
This is great. Ive already seen this episode dozens of times, but watching it for the first time is amazing....The writing in this episode just explodes off the script, and I absolutely loved Saul's office. The satire is brilliant, and evokes immediate giggles just by the set up...This is a really funny episode... And btw, James Edward Killkelly- there really are people like that who will take the fall and go to prison for people because they've been "in and out" so long that they've established their own business while in there (it may be smuggling cigarettes, drugs, or other things in there to the others) and have a reputation so it's like second nature to them...However, would have never known about it until I saw this show and episode...
When I first saw your thumbnail with "Better Call Saul Reaction", I thought you guys had started the Better Call Saul show while still watching Breaking Bad. I was like "nooooooo!" Thank goodness! Looking forward to more of your Breaking Bad journey and then moving on to Better Call Saul! 🔗💙💼
I've found my self addicted to your reactions. keep em coming! I cannot wait till you get deeper into the character development of each of Gilligans brain children. By far the best part of this series Is the dichotomy and personality of each of these characters.
I just wanted to say also that I love your reactions soooo much! The thing that you are so into this show like the GOT is super! You care about show and that's amazing! One of the best reactors on youtube.
Cops can initiate drug deals as the buyer all they want. What they can't do is pose as a seller and talk people who weren't looking for drugs into buying from them. That's entrapment. In any case, they can lie about pretty much anything including being a cop. The only place they're required to tell the truth is in court.
27:50 steven you're talking about entrapment. That would be like if badger (working as a cop) went up to some random stranger and tried to sell them drugs, and the stranger bought those drugs. The cops can't arrest that guy, because he wouldn't have bought any drugs if the cops weren't there. The situation on the show is not entrapment because that guy would've tried to buy drugs from badger whether the cops were there or not.
What Steven's referring to at the end is called entrapment, and it does exist as a legal defense. Basically, the cop puts the perp into a situation where they're tricked or forced into committing a crime, just to guarantee the prosecution. It's typically done through harassment, fraud, threats, or flattery. What happened with Badger doesn't qualify, as all that was done there was the cop offering the opportunity for Badger to commit the crime (and a judge will expect a person to resist any ordinary temptation like that). The fact that he lied about being a cop doesn't matter (that whole "they aren't allowed to lie" thing is a pipe-dream). If the cop had kept coming back day after day after day begging him to sell until Badger finally broke down, or threatened to beat him senseless if he didn't sell, or something along those lines, that would be entrapment. 🔗💼💙
@@Dularr It was for distribution, not possession. The fact that he completed a sale sticks him with the distribution charge. They wouldn't be able to do anything to him for possession without the sale, since he didn't have the drugs on his person to begin with, and furthermore they didn't have probable cause to search him without the sale. The sale was the only criminal act the cops observed, so that was what the charge would be for...plus distribution charge always trumps simple possession charge, since it's a higher level of crime (class D felony vs class E felony, I think...it's been a while since I had to look that one up) and carries a higher penalty, so typically cops (and nearly always prosecutors) will drop the lower charge to focus on the higher charge.
Saul is played by Bob Odenkirk who used to do a sketch comedy show (Mr Show) with David Cross and a bunch of other comedians. He's good at being funny, partly because he has a comedy background.
I think the rule you meant was that the police can't have undercover guys that tell dealers to make a deal and then arrest that person for said deal. That was a problem in the past (dealt with for example in the 21 Jump Street Musical), based on true cases where a female undercover cop would flirt with high school boys and tell them to get her some marihuana, the boys then did so, but not because they were dealers but because a girl they liked asked them to get it for them. Those kids were then busted for selling drugs on school property.
Bob Odenkirk is best known for the amazing HBO sketch series Mr. Show, in which he and David Cross were the main stars. In more recent years he's been branching out into more dramatic roles like this which typically still have a hefty dose of comedy attached. Also worth checking out is Spielberg's The Post, where he plays the guy who delivered the Pentagon Papers.
This came up in my recommendations the other day and I had to subscribe! I'm all caught up with your BrBa videos now and can't wait to see your reactions to all the other crazy stuff that happens. It's interesting when you try and predict what happens, I can remember doing the same and then have the writers surprise me many times.
The term you're trying to think of Steven at 27:32 is entrapment (the action of tricking someone into committing a crime in order to secure their prosecution)
Everyone in every job sometimes gets overwhelmed like Hank. Turns out the solution isn't to take a concrete pill and 'harden up', put an extra pep in your step and pretend you're OK. Take some time for yourself, Hank.
"Entrapment" is where the police is not allowed to initiate the crime. But there are so many allowances that its a mute law. Remember when Jesse was "Cap'n Cook?" And Jesse didnt get busted cause he was next door? Then the two guys that Walt and Jesse killed was Jesses old partner? Who we learn was a snitch? And now we learn that "Its all good man", I mean Saul Goodman, was his attorney. This show is so great at connecting the dots! Handcuffs, blue hearts, breif case.
There are rules regarding entrapment. Entrapment is not allowed for any kind of crime. Whether an arrest involves entrapment is usually a matter decided by the court or previous court rulings.
I always found it a little unnerving that Walt said “Ever since my diagnosis, I sleep just fine.” Assuming he was telling the truth, that means that he slept better after murdering Emilio and Krazy-8 than he did in his pre-crime life; that the relief of living without fear and the joy of feeling powerful outweighed the guilt of taking human lives, even this early on 😬
Ah, good old Slippin’ Jimmy McGill aka Saul Goodman. Y’all are caught up on BCS and BB so I can comment on how far Jimmy has come into the criminal underworld. Him strong arming Walt was peanuts to him after dealing with Lalo Salamanca’s shit. When Saul said “Francesca, you’re killing me with that booty.” My heart broke thinking of Kim.
I laugh every single time I see Badger all freaking confused lol. And look what I just learned how to do on my chromebook: EMOJIS! Except they don't have the darn handcuffs lol. So instead I just have this: Handcuffs 💙💼. - Yvette
It wasn't a threat. Saul's reputation goes in the shitter if people find out he's a rat. Saul's just very confident that he knows the right people to hook Walt up with. You'll see. Saul's connected, yo!
Man, you were opening that package, and all I could think was, "Please don't be a head on a turtle; PLEASE don't be a head on a turtle..." (I couldn't find a handcuff emoji, but this is the text version of handcuffs, from what I understand) o|o 💙 💼
And now Walt and Jesse have a lawyer. A crooked sleazy lawyer but that's exactly the kind of lawyer they need. I love this episode and couldn't wait for you guys to get to this episode. Saul is quite possibly the best side character on the show. And as you guys saw he is quite the character. It's not hard to see why he got his own show, which is also very good. Walt is not good at telling lies but he is very good at giving speeches/pep talks. Hank may come off as kind of a jerk but he is actually a good cop and you could see from the look on his face he didn't like that bust. Hank is no dummy.
Ok guys, HOLD ON TO YOUR CHAIRS. You've met Saul, now the fun BEGINS 😁 I can't wait to see your reactions lol 💙📟💼💰. Didn't have any handcuffs so left a pager and a bag of money lol
Steven's right. What you are talking about is to prevent the defense of entrapment. They can't entice the person to commit a crime they weren't already inclined to commit. They can't *offer* them money. They can certainly set up a situation in which they get the suspected criminal to *ask* them for money. Like with the prostitute exam[;e, it's not illegal to offer to or ask to have sex. It is illegal to offer or ask to have sex *for money.* So the cop won't offer money, but will wait for the prostitute to give a price for a sex act.
And so enters one of the greatest TV characters ever

On full weeks there will be 4 per week. They have a schedule, it’s Tues, Wed, Thurs and Saturday unless there’s a holiday or they have something going on. They post it under the community tab on their page.
Drake Lang - I know. They’ve never had a full reaction week since they started the show due to the holidays. The schedule is on their community page though.
Drake Lang - Okay
Steef, I never realised that ,:D
Guess I didn't see the schedule when they posted. But it's great anyway, thanks ^^
Now BB really starts. :)
Saul Goodman is one of the most famous characters in the last two decades of television, if not in history......Amazingly, there are several more famous characters coming that are just as good and even better...The realization of this character something special by all involved- Bob Odenkirk, Peter Gould, Vince Gilligan, and the rest of the Breaking Bad writers.
g henry I recently watched a 10 year anniversary interview with Vince & the cast & it sounded like by the end of season 2, Vince was already thinking of a show for Saul
Hank knows that this dude doesn't possess the skill set to create 98% pure meth
99.1%. Don't insult Heisenberg.
Please don't stop calling jane, Jessica jones. its pretty hilarious considering both characters act the same way
With that username and picture I was expecting a better comment than that to be honest. Something with more Saul to it!!
;)
If you're committed enough, you can make any comment work. I once told a youtuber I was Bob Odenkirk, and it worked because I believed it. But I've had this username sense BB season 4 was being aired. You can only roleplay for so long.
@@saulgoodman612 hahaha
Ok I get you!
Old comment I know, but a new channel just started reacting to Breaking Bad and he calls her Jessica Jones as well, it's so good 😁
i honestly thinks its so adorable the look she gives him every time he uses "Yo" in the intro. low key real wholesome cute
This was definitely the funniest episode so far. Saul's intro was hilarious, and the part when Badger almost screwed up the fake bust, I just couldn't stop laughing. Saul's encounter with Walter in the class room was pure genius. :)
Those scenes were hilarious! I loved when the two vans pulled up both times.
Better call Saul! 💙 💼 🔗
Saul Goodman love his introduction. The actor that plays him Bob Odenkirk is by far one of the best actors of our generation ❤️
Bob is on 4 of the greatest shows of all time: Mr Show, a hilarious sketch show with David Cross on HBO in the mid-90s (helped introduce Jack Black and Tenacious D), The Larry Sanders Show, the first iteration of the superagent Ari (later done by Jeremy Piven, and one could argue a basis for Saul Goodman as Peter Gould remembered him as the backstabbing agent) was Bob's first semi-regular dramatic role, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. And, unfortunately, he was used as too specific a character to warrant a reappearance in Arrested Development, reunited with David Cross in a hilarious scene.
The situation with the guy that will go to jail for you reminds me of shawshank redemption and a character named brooks. Amazing movie and they call it "institutionalized" in the movie. It's exactly what Nikki describes
You two are such a good couple, you seem so right for each other. Love your reactions by the way ❤️
Thank you Adam!!!!
Nikki & Steven React My pleasure, you two are a delight!
Bob Odenkirk's delivery of his catchphrase at the end of the episode is amazing. This episode kept me watching BB, and I was hooked on BCS from the moment it was announced. The premiere all the way through to the end rewarded that early faith in it. One of my two favorite shows ever, behind only The Wire. The depth of characters created from throwaway lines was a highwater mark for the medium of television.
What's funny is that a bunch of plotlines that were scrapped for breaking bad had an inside joke around them from the writers where they would sarcastically say "we'll save that idea for the Saul Goodman spinoff"
But then the Saul Goodman spin off actually happened and it's arguably better than BB
You trippin
Definitely not better than breaking bad
@@softbleach487 it’s much better than breaking bad idk what you’re seeing
@@Haddonfield63 really, you don't know what I'm seeing? Great acting, great plot, great character development, great pacing, action, suspense, great camera work, I could go on. Its one of the highest rated shows of all time, and for a good reason. Better call Saul has a lot of these qualities too and I still think it's a great show, but I also think breaking bad does most of these things better and the majority agrees. It's fine if you prefer BCS, but you're full of shit if you "don't know what I'm seeing". And saying it's "much" better is a stretch if I've ever seen one
@@softbleach487 notice how I used the word "arguably".
As much as I enjoy Better Call Saul and think it has the potential to surpass breaking bad, I'm not calling it until BCS ends. If BCS can have a terrific finale I think that will push it over
I’m French and I watch all your videos. I love your reactions you are awesome. Thanks
Oh, you two are gonna LOVE Saul!! Possibly the best character of the show!
I'm morally outraged that there are 9 down votes for video.
"You've taken your first step into a larger world"
Obi Wan? Is that you?
Breaking Bad is one of the best shows ever... it's similar to other great crime dramas like The Sopranos, Sons of Anarchy or Ray Donovan in that the main character has family drama to deal with + some exciting, dangerous criminal undertaking, which makes it very compelling to watch. Plus, Breaking Bad makes great use of dramatic irony (like the secrets Walt is keeping from his family) as well as great character and character pairings with lots of conflict (Walt and Jesse are so entertaining together because they are so different)... so much more good stuff to come 💙♾🚛
"It was Ignacio, he's the one!"
MAN
You will not be disappointed after Breaking Bad and then watching Better Call Saul next! I guaran-damn-tee it!
16:39 Yeah, that office is golden yo, church, lol
Better Call Saul, Yo. You both are awesome. Thank you for another awesome video, Mr and Mrs Yo 📹💙🔐🚐
i vote to officially make her name "jessie Jane"
Thank you for your hard work Steven and Nikki for dishing out these BB reactions it’s definitely showing out how much you put out to us viewers. You guys are amazing, keep it up can’t wait for more BB!
"It wasn't me, it was Ignacio!....Did Lalo send you?"
I started watching Better Call Saul but because of time restraints at the time stopped midway through the first season and now it's been so long since Breaking Bad/those first few episodes of BCS that I never had the motivation to get back into it because I've forgotten a lot. Through these reactions I get to watch a recapped version of the series through your eyes and will be ready to get back into Better Call Saul once you're done so thanks!
When I read the title I thought you reacted on Better Call Saul .. was all excited ..ahah it should be on your list for the future after Breaking Bad.
This is great. Ive already seen this episode dozens of times, but watching it for the first time is amazing....The writing in this episode just explodes off the script, and I absolutely loved Saul's office. The satire is brilliant, and evokes immediate giggles just by the set up...This is a really funny episode...
And btw, James Edward Killkelly- there really are people like that who will take the fall and go to prison for people because they've been "in and out" so long that they've established their own business while in there (it may be smuggling cigarettes, drugs, or other things in there to the others) and have a reputation so it's like second nature to them...However, would have never known about it until I saw this show and episode...
The Saul changes the show for the better. Love the character.
I been waiting for this episode lol Saul is such a character.
When I first saw your thumbnail with "Better Call Saul Reaction", I thought you guys had started the Better Call Saul show while still watching Breaking Bad. I was like "nooooooo!" Thank goodness! Looking forward to more of your Breaking Bad journey and then moving on to Better Call Saul! 🔗💙💼
Hope you guys continue with Better Call Saul after finishing Breaking Bad
Please God no! ... BCS is a disgrace compared to BB
Reactions Most people do not share your opinion.
@@reactions5783 um joking right? They're very different shows, but BCS is just as well made and written as BB, with fantastic character development.
@Ely Gallego Not almost as good as BB at all, BCS is just good. This last season of BCS was the worst too imo
@Ely Gallego Lol you think BB's intense moments and great acting are on par with BCS? lmaooo, okay
I've found my self addicted to your reactions. keep em coming! I cannot wait till you get deeper into the character development of each of Gilligans brain children. By far the best part of this series Is the dichotomy and personality of each of these characters.
I just wanted to say also that I love your reactions soooo much! The thing that you are so into this show like the GOT is super! You care about show and that's amazing! One of the best reactors on youtube.
Cops can initiate drug deals as the buyer all they want. What they can't do is pose as a seller and talk people who weren't looking for drugs into buying from them. That's entrapment. In any case, they can lie about pretty much anything including being a cop. The only place they're required to tell the truth is in court.
I've been waiting for this one!
You guys are gonna love Saul Goodman. There's a reason why they gave him his own show.
It's such a treat to see a new reaction posted. . . . .
Handcuffs, 💙, van . . . .
Handcuffs, 💙 and brief case.
18:15 now that "Better Call Saul" has ended, this scene hits different.
Hey Nikki and Steven, I’m so glad you listened to me. You’ve been uploading the vids at a blazing speed and I love it. 🚐💙🔗
This pace is nothing new for us. We always upload around 3 episodes of our premium show a week
Me 10+ years ago: "😂 this Saul guy is obnoxious but hilarious!"
Me now: "😢Oh Jimmy."
27:50 steven you're talking about entrapment. That would be like if badger (working as a cop) went up to some random stranger and tried to sell them drugs, and the stranger bought those drugs. The cops can't arrest that guy, because he wouldn't have bought any drugs if the cops weren't there. The situation on the show is not entrapment because that guy would've tried to buy drugs from badger whether the cops were there or not.
What Steven's referring to at the end is called entrapment, and it does exist as a legal defense. Basically, the cop puts the perp into a situation where they're tricked or forced into committing a crime, just to guarantee the prosecution. It's typically done through harassment, fraud, threats, or flattery. What happened with Badger doesn't qualify, as all that was done there was the cop offering the opportunity for Badger to commit the crime (and a judge will expect a person to resist any ordinary temptation like that). The fact that he lied about being a cop doesn't matter (that whole "they aren't allowed to lie" thing is a pipe-dream). If the cop had kept coming back day after day after day begging him to sell until Badger finally broke down, or threatened to beat him senseless if he didn't sell, or something along those lines, that would be entrapment. 🔗💼💙
@@Dularr It was for distribution, not possession. The fact that he completed a sale sticks him with the distribution charge. They wouldn't be able to do anything to him for possession without the sale, since he didn't have the drugs on his person to begin with, and furthermore they didn't have probable cause to search him without the sale. The sale was the only criminal act the cops observed, so that was what the charge would be for...plus distribution charge always trumps simple possession charge, since it's a higher level of crime (class D felony vs class E felony, I think...it's been a while since I had to look that one up) and carries a higher penalty, so typically cops (and nearly always prosecutors) will drop the lower charge to focus on the higher charge.
Saul is played by Bob Odenkirk who used to do a sketch comedy show (Mr Show) with David Cross and a bunch of other comedians. He's good at being funny, partly because he has a comedy background.
I love that Badger is smart enough to know a sting operation and even points out the vans but is gullible enough to be convinced to deal anyways
I think the rule you meant was that the police can't have undercover guys that tell dealers to make a deal and then arrest that person for said deal. That was a problem in the past (dealt with for example in the 21 Jump Street Musical), based on true cases where a female undercover cop would flirt with high school boys and tell them to get her some marihuana, the boys then did so, but not because they were dealers but because a girl they liked asked them to get it for them. Those kids were then busted for selling drugs on school property.
Bob Odenkirk is best known for the amazing HBO sketch series Mr. Show, in which he and David Cross were the main stars. In more recent years he's been branching out into more dramatic roles like this which typically still have a hefty dose of comedy attached. Also worth checking out is Spielberg's The Post, where he plays the guy who delivered the Pentagon Papers.
This came up in my recommendations the other day and I had to subscribe! I'm all caught up with your BrBa videos now and can't wait to see your reactions to all the other crazy stuff that happens. It's interesting when you try and predict what happens, I can remember doing the same and then have the writers surprise me many times.
Saul is such a great character! So many great scenes and great lines with him!
22:50 They would realize it but it doesn't matter at this time because the most pressing thing was to get Badger out of prison before he breaks.
I never realised how nice Nikki's smile was until this episode. She looks so cute when she's laughing.
The term you're trying to think of Steven at 27:32 is entrapment (the action of tricking someone into committing a crime in order to secure their prosecution)
Just a quick translation, when Saul says: Yo siempre soy amigoThat means: I always I'm friend Just if you have curiosity
I loved Breaking Bad but Better Call Saul is even better. It's a slow grower but well worth the journey.
S'All Good, Man.
yay, one of my top 3 favorite characters in BB finally got introduced.
Everyone in every job sometimes gets overwhelmed like Hank. Turns out the solution isn't to take a concrete pill and 'harden up', put an extra pep in your step and pretend you're OK. Take some time for yourself, Hank.
"Entrapment" is where the police is not allowed to initiate the crime. But there are so many allowances that its a mute law.
Remember when Jesse was "Cap'n Cook?" And Jesse didnt get busted cause he was next door? Then the two guys that Walt and Jesse killed was Jesses old partner? Who we learn was a snitch? And now we learn that "Its all good man", I mean Saul Goodman, was his attorney. This show is so great at connecting the dots! Handcuffs, blue hearts, breif case.
There are rules regarding entrapment. Entrapment is not allowed for any kind of crime. Whether an arrest involves entrapment is usually a matter decided by the court or previous court rulings.
"that exists?!" That is a universal truth. If there is a task, no matter how grueling, there is someone out there who will do it for the right price.
There are no handcuffs so I'll give you🚔💙📲⚖ 💼💰...and the face that Steven makes 😬.
2:06 Had forgotten about the Baratheon thing. Thanks for the reminder Nikki, heh!
👍
I wish I could watch Breaking Bad for the first time again like these guys.
I always found it a little unnerving that Walt said “Ever since my diagnosis, I sleep just fine.” Assuming he was telling the truth, that means that he slept better after murdering Emilio and Krazy-8 than he did in his pre-crime life; that the relief of living without fear and the joy of feeling powerful outweighed the guilt of taking human lives, even this early on 😬
Ah, good old Slippin’ Jimmy McGill aka Saul Goodman. Y’all are caught up on BCS and BB so I can comment on how far Jimmy has come into the criminal underworld. Him strong arming Walt was peanuts to him after dealing with Lalo Salamanca’s shit.
When Saul said “Francesca, you’re killing me with that booty.” My heart broke thinking of Kim.
I laugh every single time I see Badger all freaking confused lol. And look what I just learned how to do on my chromebook: EMOJIS! Except they don't have the darn handcuffs lol. So instead I just have this: Handcuffs 💙💼.
- Yvette
these are making me want to binge watch the series again
Saul Goodman is a parody of Albuquerque, famous ambulance chaser, Ron Bell! hahaha
I'm so excited that there's still so many amazing characters that you haven't met yet. Saul was one of them.
💙🚙⚖️ couldn’t find the handcuffs 🤦🏻♀️ so I used the scale from Sauls office 😂
It wasn't a threat. Saul's reputation goes in the shitter if people find out he's a rat. Saul's just very confident that he knows the right people to hook Walt up with. You'll see. Saul's connected, yo!
Man, you were opening that package, and all I could think was, "Please don't be a head on a turtle; PLEASE don't be a head on a turtle..." (I couldn't find a handcuff emoji, but this is the text version of handcuffs, from what I understand) o|o 💙 💼
Ahhhhh!!! I’ve been waiting for you to get to this episode. This is one of my favorite episodes of the season
🔗(closest I could find) 💙💼
24:50 I feel it's not a threat but I statement about the fact Jesse and Walt are financial idiots and will always be drowning the way they do things
And now Walt and Jesse have a lawyer. A crooked sleazy lawyer but that's exactly the kind of lawyer they need. I love this episode and couldn't wait for you guys to get to this episode. Saul is quite possibly the best side character on the show. And as you guys saw he is quite the character. It's not hard to see why he got his own show, which is also very good.
Walt is not good at telling lies but he is very good at giving speeches/pep talks.
Hank may come off as kind of a jerk but he is actually a good cop and you could see from the look on his face he didn't like that bust. Hank is no dummy.
In my school, it was the local DARE cop that was the drug dealer. He finally got busted when he got a 13 year old girl pregnant.
Whaaaaaaat?!?! - Nikki
@@NikkiStevenReact Yeah. This happened in the West Palm Beach area back in 1994. All I remember from the cop is that he was known as Deputy John.
Ok guys, HOLD ON TO YOUR CHAIRS.
You've met Saul, now the fun BEGINS 😁
I can't wait to see your reactions lol
💙📟💼💰.
Didn't have any handcuffs so left a pager and a bag of money lol
Steven's right. What you are talking about is to prevent the defense of entrapment. They can't entice the person to commit a crime they weren't already inclined to commit. They can't *offer* them money. They can certainly set up a situation in which they get the suspected criminal to *ask* them for money. Like with the prostitute exam[;e, it's not illegal to offer to or ask to have sex. It is illegal to offer or ask to have sex *for money.* So the cop won't offer money, but will wait for the prostitute to give a price for a sex act.
Saul Goodman is the best thing to ever happened to Walt. Without Saul, Walt's empire n reputation as the greatest drug kingpin wouldn't exist.
The look of utter joy on Nikki's face as the fake Heisenberg was taken down is why I enjoy this channel so much. 💙🚚🚙⛟🚛🔗
