Original Show: Better Call Saul
Tuco went to jail, met skinny Pete, that's how they knew each other and had Jesse meet him for the deal.
The person delivering cash to Tuco before Mike arrives is Krazy 8 from the first season of Breaking Bad in case someone didnt know
Tampico Furniture
Walts first kill
I’m surprised she didn’t notice that…sure they put makeup on him to make him look younger & he looks like he lost some weight but he almost looks the same he did on breaking bad
@@giovannidejoie8618 I was gonna say how much younger he looks despite this show being nearly ten years after the first season of Breaking Bad
2nd I guess he killed his gang member too @@gourobkumar7575
You are totally right Vicky, Jimmy genuinely cared about his elderly clients. That's what made him so successful in dealing with and fighting for them. The tragedy is, we know this show is the journey of Jimmy him becoming the ambulance-chasing, money-laundering huckster Saul Goodman.
Meanwhile 5 chinese just got arrested in the US for laundering money for the mexican cartels today.
SPOILER....
We know he doesn't actually care about them based on what he does shortly
@@ben1ben2ben1 SPOILER…
But then we learn that he actually DOES care about them (well one of them anyway…)
@@ben1ben2ben1he does care about them though. But not more than the money.
Spoiler...
The show isn't about Jimmy becoming Saul, it's about Jimmy becoming Jimmy.
The arm dealer who sell sniper rifles to Mike is the same guy who sold Walt a revolver and a machine gun that killed Jack's gang.
the weapon buying scene implies that mike was a sniper in Vietnam, where that rifle was being used and mike talked about how the jungle climate warped the wood of the rifle
bro was a Vietnam sniper, a boxer, a beat cop, assassin, Fring's right hand man. quite the resume
34:26 that "oh come on, guys!" from Mike gets me every time 😂
Like he's being bullied on the schoolyard lmao
The reason Chuck was questioning Jimmy’s “unorthodox” method in Amarillo is because solicitation violates the bar association’s rules of professional conduct (ABA rule 7.3, Solicitation of Clients). That’s why Jimmy lied about how he signed the other residents up to the lawsuit. He knew it was wrong, and Chuck darn well knew it was fishy as hell.
This is a great comment, thank you for providing the rule!
Nice. I was going to comment about it being prohibited by the bar association and also potentially putting their case in jeopardy as well as the reputation of Davis & Main.
Chuck was displaying the responsibility of due diligence to protect the integrity of his law firm.
That's also why Chuck was so fearful of Jimmy as a power lawyer. Chuck knows how smart Jimmy is and he knows exactly what rules he's breaking. But Chuck knows that, unlike with him or Kim or Cliff Main, there are no second chances with the Bar Association.
As with basically everything, Chuck is not wrong, and pointing out that the opposing counsel will scrutinize their methods is definitely not a "low blow". But Jimmy made his scheme specifically to not actually be, technically, solicitation. Obviously the bribery of the bus driver would lead to severe issues if it came out.
"Jimmy doesn't want to play by the rules."
That's the point. As a lawyer, you are required to play by the rules.
10:32 Classic pimento cheese sandwich. Classic Mike.
32:12 Recognize him? This is crazy 8, the guy who Walter has trouble killing in season 1 of breaking bad.
'does anybody like you?' makes me die every time
The vet has that info because if people have gunshot wounds and don’t want to go to the hospital, he’s the guy, so naturally he’d be informed on a lot of that stuff
32:13 That’s actually Krazy-8 from Season 1 of Breaking Bad.
I was just gonna say that it was him from that series!
I don't think she remember, it is kinda disappointing.
did you really expect her to recognize him? lol
Most other reactors don’t quite remember him, but they say that they think they’ve seen him somewhere before.
Its easy to remember his face. I recognized him right away
35:35
Mike is well acquainted with killing. His familiarity with the the M40 sniper indicates that he has used it extensively before. Probably in the Marines, as that was the preferred sniper rifle for the Marine Corps for nearly fifty years.
His reluctance for killing is likely a result of that experience.
Killing is easy, living with yourself afterwards is hard for most.
Never forget, Johnathan Banks has been playing the same guy for fifty years.
War vet, to cop in Kingston Falls during the Gremlin outbreak, then a cop in Philly, then to New Mexico as a PI and parking attendant to escape the Philly stuff... Mike has led an interesting life.
Not only that, but he likely served in Vietnam. The dealer mentions that model was the A1 that switched from wood to fiberglass around 1970. Mike mentions he hates wood because it warps and somebody should've figured that out before sending it into a jungle. The M40 replaced the Winchester Model 70 in 1966. Therefore, Mike would've used the rifle between 1966 and 1970. 'Nam. Yeah, math bitch! 😂
"i'm ready for my close-up, Mr. McGill" is a reference to SUNSET BOULEVARD, when Gloria Swanson says "I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille"
Mike's epic bleeding smile smirking at Tuco while uttering the words "that all ya got?" Always makes me appreciate what an undisputed BADASS Mike truly is. He's that one old man you NEVER wanna fuck with
The last thing a law firm wants is legal dirt. That's why they can't have interesting commercials. I think the commercial itself though was only half of what Cliff was angry about. It COULD have been even worse. I know I'd be shocked if someone went behind my back to make a possibly incriminating commercial. What Jimmy should have done was pitch it to Cliff, get an inevitable no, and find a middle ground
I think the lack of communication was the biggest thing. As hinted at by the many meetings to discuss the swirl, they have an attitude that everything must be throughoughly discussed and approved before going out. Notice how Clifford was mad at Jimmy before he even saw the commercial? That suggests Clifford was more concerned about the process being violated than the contents of the commercial itself.
It's a small thing, but your intros are super short, informative and that is SO MUCH APPRECIATED. On top of that, you're one of the best reactors out there.
Now, Bob Odenkirk again in Nobody with a end credit scene.
She really should react to nobody
@@mq7447 after seeing Better Call Saul that movie is great to watch. makes Saul look like Jhon Wick lol
@@7kortos7 funny thing is that movie was made by the same producer of John wick
He's also in one episode of The Bear, which is arguably the best episode of the show. But also, it's a great series too.
10:51 Big sandwich trying to send a message by shutting down the vid.
The movie "Ice Station Zebra" was mentioned in Breaking Bad. When Jimmy is speaking to Badger, he tells him he needs a check made out to "Ice Station Zebra Associates" (his loan out).
Peter Gould must really have a special place in his heart for that film to reference it in 2 shows
also Tigerfish Corporation
That altercation with Tuco is going to have a lot of ripple effects....
His methods are unorthodox? I mean, I know we like Jimmy, but no his methods are entirely unethical, and that's the point. It might not be anywhere as extreme, but it's the same as defending Walt near the beginning of BB. He cares, he's trying to do the right thing, but he's doing it in a way that could easily get him disbarred. I'm glad he wasn't fired too at this point, but he was in the wrong. Putting it as, "he just doesn't play by the rules," is a gross understatement when we're talking the field of law. There's rules for a reason.
I always find it hysterical when reactors are constantly justifying all of Jimmy's actions. Never gets old.
Jimmy is a criminal and to some extend, a bad person, but we get to know him so well in the show, we start to see what lead him to do these things and most people tend to sympatize and forgive, truly an amazing movie character writing
he’s charismatic dumass, what do you expect
What harm did any of the things he made in these episodes cause
@@fedoratheexplorar2143 according to some people, running a commercial without permission is pure evil and means Chuck is right in comparing him to the unabomber
It's the classic thing that happens when the "bad guy" is the protagonist. Jimmy is a great character but he does things the wrong way and people get hurt. Chuck knew that and kept trying to get him to turn himself around and limit the damage until he did. That doesn't make Chuck likeable, I couldn't stand him, but he is right more than most fans of Jimmy will ever admit.
14:55 If you are a criminal and you or your buddies get hurt (shot, stabbed, etc), a vet that wants to make good money on the side is a good place to go.
When you're in the middle of bingeing BCS for the first time, it's hard not to take Jimmy's side because he's the protagonist and he's sympathetic in a lot of ways. But now, with the passage of time, I find it hard not to agree with most of what Chuck says in this episode.
The reason why Mike didn't kill Tuco is because Tuco is in Breaking Bad, that would mess up the whole universe and make it multi-universe bs.
He didnt kill him because he knows more salamancas would just show up and investigate nacho. He said it in the previous episode.
Always good to sit down and eat some food and watch Better Call Saul!
Wow, just remembered 16:40, “Ice Fishing Zebra” associates was the name of one of Saul’s offshore bank accounts in BB
Mike was famous for Pimento cheese sandwiches
You gotta feel for the owner of that restaurant. He wakes up every Tuesday and thinks, "Ugh, I'm gonna have those two nutjobs at my place again."
Love how you cover each of the main characters equally. Nachos story gets better too.
Notice how Jimmy used the lady's stair ramp as a dolly? The first shot of the commercial is coming down the lift and you can see her through the staircase lol
Breaking Bad connections: You got to see Krazy 8 in this episode. Also, remember that after Tuco goes to jail, he shares a cell with Skinny Pete.
8:58 Such a small and easily overlooked part.. "This one is uh, the Alpine Shephard Boy it's for her Nephew.. so.." --- It's glossed over but, she has like over a hundered of those things.. and she sat down and individually gave them to different people etc.. He took one look at it, only had to think for a second and he knew the name of the little statue and who it was going to.. didn't have to look at any files, or paper work.. he just knows.. THAT actually brings a tear to my eyes! It's small moments like that, which often get overlooked that make the writing so amazing.
This is the first time I have rewatched this series remembering how great every episode is, great reaction V.
Jimmy just can't resist doing things in an unprofessional way. Things like solicitation and airing a commercial without permission aren't obviously bad to the average person, but if you are in that business, those are absolute no-gos. A great level of realism must have been taken to nail this fine line of inappropriate behavior from a lawyer.
Hey V, don't know if you noticed the character named Domingo that was paying Tuco and Nacho was from breaking bad. The first episodes
Like that the arms dealer who dealt with Walt is doing business with Mike
Soliciting is a HUGE deal in legal ethics (unless you're a nonprofit law firm 😉). This show is the most realistic show about law I've ever seen. No other show about law comes close.
17:49-17:56
John Cena: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT VK? 😂
Mike's sandwich is pimento loaf, he's a big fan of pimento loaf.
I was always a bit suprised how calm Tuco is was though that whole thing. Up until he took Mike's keys and demanded his wallet he was being quite reasonable.
32:16 thats the guy that walt killed in breaking bad in jesse's basement in season 1
Been waiting!! Addicted to these!!!!11 The editing is great and I'm glad the watcher really taking the series in. 😊😊
Thank you 😊 that means so much to hear :) ❤🤗
fully agree. her editing is some of the best out there. it really feels like you're watching the full episode.
Stop uploading so late dude im losing interest in ur better call saul reactions like this. And continue rdr2! @@VKunia
this is one of the only line of episodes where chuck is genuinely in the right.
most important correction: newspapers are usually delivered past midnight
10:50 Vkunia with that Sopranos ending reference /s
After this first episode you said "Starting to skirt the line now not because he has to, but because he wants to" and I think it's one of the best interpretations of the beginning of Jimmy's transformation i've heard
His methods aren't unorthodox, they're illegal. And Chuck's concerns are completely legitimate. Also, Chuck is completely right about Jimmy.
I love your sweater in the second episode, V. It's very pretty. Speaking of pretty, how beautiful is Rhea Seehorn when she's watching the commercial around the 13:00 mark? And last but not least, everyone's pointing out various cameos in the comments, but who here happened to notice Kayley's little pig toy?
im sure its been pointed out already but this episode has so much tie ins to breaking bad, krazy-8 (domingo) is introduced and tuco goes to prison and its this stint that introduces him to skinny pete who then sets up the meeting with jesse and tuco in BB, and also thats the gun guy who walt buuys his smith and wesson revolver from
One of my favorite jokes in the series is how Jimmy makes use of the stairlift for the commercial because he didn’t have access to a dolly 😂
Did you recognize Crazy 8? He even had the Tampico shirt and delivery van.
We have to appreciate what BCS did. Mike & Tuco are two great characters that NEVER had a scene together in BB so getting to see it thanks to this prequel show is amazing!
Skinny Pete vouched for Jessie and Walt to Tuco. This is how he meets him. In prison.
WHAT!? You never had a cheese sandwich? I'm not talking about a grilled cheese, but a cold hunk of cheese on Wonder Bread and mayo. Used to take those fishing all the time.
Cheese sandwiches are fantastic! I like adding cucumber as well.
PLEASE React to these Action & Comedies or Both: Starring Chris Evans Cellular The Ringer, Date Night, Big Stan, Netflix Gabriel Iglesias: Stadium Fluffy, Netflix Jo Koy: Don't Make Him Angry, and Fire Up
Newspapers are delivered at night. I regularly leave home for work at 2:45am, the guy in my suburb delivers newspapers at 3:30pm by throwing them out of his car windows.
10:03 reference to the classic film Sunset Boulevard from 1950 - "I'm ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille"
"Aw come on, guys!" Always cracks me up. 🤣
Ehrmantraut is an absolute genius.
yup, Krazy-8 re-introduced here, unnoticed.
The rest of invincible season 2 is out
Again Chuck is 100% in the right. Jimmy cutting corners hurt both firm's rep, got Kim demoted, and aptly illustrated Jimmy's propensity to break rules and specifially to cut corners for his own interest. By contrast Mike's story shows how Mike does not cut corners. Mike could have got paid for less money but it would draw attention. So Mike does it the hard way in order to do the job the way it needs to be done. One guy cuts corners. The other guy does not. We as the audience root for our man Jimmy. But in reality Chuck is right. There is a right way. The ends do not justify the means.
And if nephew Steve has to beat the cook in the process, it's no big deal, Alma won't hear about it.
Siempre que veo esta serie me enamoro un poco mas de Kim, que mujer mas atractiva en cuanto a su personalidad y su inteligencia
FUN FACT; the whole team wanted to shoot BB in Riverside CA,; but, taxes to high to they moved to New Mexico. I'm within Riverside right now and yeah, we got some tweakers.
I always LOVE the Tampico reference with the same actor from BB!!!
Did you recognize the guy sitting across from Tuco in the restaurant? Remember the bike lock and the broken plate in the 1st season of Breaking Bad?
3:02 - Not to sound patronizing but the fact you welled up at that is adorable 😂
Did you notice the dealer? He was in Breaking Bad 1st season with a bike lock on his neck.
Lion King 2??!!! its such a masterpiece!!!
they didn't have a dolly, so they used the stair lift
9:54
“So that’s it, old lady in a chair ? That’s your commercial ?”
“…….. Does anybody like you ?”
Top 5 favorite line in the show 😂
Lmao Jimmy really did look like Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome.
I think it was a pimento loaf cheese. (assuming it was the same kind of sandwich from the bodyguard job when we first met Nacho.)
Thanks for doing these videos, it's a pleasure watching along with you.
Average price for a life from a hitman is 6k 😅 Human lifes aren't worth as much as you'd think. 😅 24:54
This is a good show I never seen it, but at least I get to experience it with you VKunia💚
🤗❤
These businesses exist only on their reputation and you absolutely cannot do what Jimmy does without stepping on their toes. Stupid but real.
Chuck is the ideal elder brother. Gotta set the young ones straight. No shortcuts to success
10:48 *editing mishap*
Weird that she didn’t notice crazy 8
10:00 This got me. 😆
I ain't calling her a gold digger but....I ain't calling her late for dinner 12:12
Hey Vicki great to see you back with more Better Call Saul
and you are magnificently awesome thanks V.🎮📺📺🎮
You're so sweet, thank you Roger!! 🤗🤗✨
It is fun to watch you now, knowing that in the future you gonna cry so much :D
Lmfaoooo
People are very short sighted about Jimmy. The arc of Jimmy's life is not that of a caring attentive brother who was driven to become an ambulance-chasing, money-laundering huckster by his cold hearted brother. That's starting the story in the middle. The beginning of the story is when Chuck saved Jimmy from prison and forced him to fly straight after years of ripping people off with the help of Marco. What we see at the beginning of this series, the caring attentive brother, is only an interlude to what he really is. Jimmy is not an evil person, he just doesn't believe in consequences (for himself). In that regard he IS like an alcoholic who drives drunk and endangers those around him. But, since he's a lovable 'drunk' (to carry on the analogy) people will forgive him and forgive him, over and over, until he crashes his car and kills somebody, and only then will he be judged.
On another note, the DVD commentary for Gloves Off explains that Mike's beat up face wasn't actually makeup. He had a little bit of padding in his mouth to make his cheek look swollen, but the eye and the cut were all CGI. Which blows me away because it looks so real.
That is an oversimplification and heavily based on Chuck's pov. If I say where to look for Jimmy's view so you can wage the two I'll be spoiling, but the idea is once you make a mistake for any reason, you will forever be stuck between a rock and a hard place.
We need these faster!!!!!!!!!!!
They shoved in "Friday" only to portray Mike's soft side when there were so many other ways to do that without her. Also, "Vass" explaining "insanity" of Tuco to Mike is very ironic at the very least.
OPEN THE SANDWICH!
Gosh dang it! (Sorry for the crude profanities.)
I somehow missed three BCS video uploads in a row. At least I have a plan for the evening now. A whole bunch of episodes!
Elder law jimmy is my favorite incarnation of Jimmy
how can you wait to watch this perfect show. When I watched it I was addiced. But I love your reactions ❤
Why would he go to the hospital with a human skull stuck in him?
On it in seconds today 😁
First? 😏
@@VKunia maybe 🤗 you have some of the best fans on youtube! so i have to be fast to get first but i will fast whenever you show up on my notifications whatever video i was watching gets put on the back burner 🤣

@@VKunia well you are very welcome Vicky😀 i know you must be busy but may I reccomend a movie called top secret from 1984 with val kilmer because I think the humour is right up your alley ☺️
Been waiting for this one
If you didn't know; the gun dealer in this episode is actually the same gun dealer that sold a gun to Walt in breaking bad
You still haven't learned your lesson from Walt lol
Yeeees im so exited for the next episode and a specific old man to show up hehe
26:24 interesting, he has his watch on.
