ball shaving!!!
yeah!!!
The poker game scene makes the nickname "Crazy 8" more ironic. Walter was highly intimidated by the nickname "Crazy 8," but Domingo got that nickname because he was too afraid to win a poker hand against his boss.
How can you fold a set on a safe board? That's really crazy.
Krazy 8 is a great example of a side character in the breaking bad universe that's extremely well written and has a story as interesting as a main character if you pay attention to all their appearances
Thats what makes this show and the writing so freaking good not only did vince allrdy know how the show was gonna end they made sure to flesh out almost every single character no matter how minor they might have been. I havent finished the video yet but i wonder if krazy 8 after being arrested and snitching on Gus's dead drops i wonder if he snitched on his cousin emilo and got him arrested and almost got jesse arrested also
I love how Krazy 8 acts like Jesse (soft and amateur) in Better Call Saul and is oppressed by Nacho.
And in Breaking Bad he acts like Nacho (tough and professional) and oppresses Jesse.
Shit rolls downhill as the saying goes
Krazy 8 tough guy personality was in response to Nacho, but where Nacho was often the reserved "strong silent type," Krazy 8 was just a shallower intimidation of that.
My head canon for Domingo showing up not in uniform after the black eye is that he avoided work so that his dad didn’t see the black eye. He was already stressed leading a double life before then, and when he skipped work, he got into an argument with his dad so he decided to quit and delve deeper into the drug world
This makes a lot of sense. It’s interesting how dramatic Domingo’s story is despite being a side character. A man living a double life learns to stand up to his father and run his own crew in the drug trade. Then he becomes a DEA informant, probably picks up a few kills and a few fights, then meets Walter and Jesse
Nice theory
Lol I just made this exact comment
@@illuminatedzach4206 great minds think alike I guess 😂
@@blakematthews6374 I wrote “Pretty sure the reason why the diamingo wasn’t wearing his work shirt after getting a blackeye is because his father gave him an ultimatum saying that he has to quit selling drugs living his criminal life and that if he’s going to work for him he has to choose either side, so he fired him when crazy 8 couldn’t leave the game”
I love when Lalo sits with the guys at the table, it makes him seem friendly but when we get to know him it actually makes him more terrifying.
Hey shut up when I'm in a hand.
He kinda was friendly. like seemingly genuinely friendly, unlike tuko when he tries to be friendly or chill. but can flip that switch at any time. Lalo is a cool character
Lalo was absolutely one of the best villans ever written in any show 👏
Krazy-8 is a fantastic example of a side character that can be analysed from many different perspectives with enough room for us to speculate when certain events regarding him happened (such as when exactly he stopped working at Tampico). Shoutout to Max Arciniega for being able to perform his role so well!
Fun fact: there's a store named "Crazy 8" in Better Call Saul (episode 9 of Season 3) which must be an omage to Krazy-8 himself.
I forgot to mention the crazy 8 store, it's a cool easter egg
I would say this is a crazy long video for someone who was only around for 10 episodes, but then again, Tuco was only around for 7 episodes and his is a similar length.
The fact that Tuco is in less episodes than Krazy-8, haunts me
i put on your retrospectives to sleep at night (it keeps me from overthinking abt other things & keeping myself awake) thank you so much for making these 😭
Start to meditate my friend
41:13 I'd imagine Emilio cooks the majority of the product, while Krazy-8 funds and manages the operation and people. Jesse seems to be the most adept at procurement, had relationships with smurfs who obtain psuedo, and I guess pushes whatever Emilio cooks. I've been trying to see if there's a ball park of how much product or money they found on Emilio when he was busted but haven't been so lucky. Getting caught cooking meth and released kind of implies either Krazy 8 or Emilio had enough funds to pay what was likely a substantial bail amount on that serious of a charge.
If they're pushing 1 or 2 lbs of meth a month, that's a decent amount of money split between a small crew and to operate in a small area or network. Considering Jesse never had to pay rent or had any real expenses at that time, he was probably blowing his money on partying, upgrading his car, paying web hosting fees, etc...not saving any of it.
Is there a chance of you making a retrospective of kim wexler? I really want to she her full transformation from a good hearted laywer to a con artist
At some point definitely
Good hearted and lawyer two words combined that make no sense!!!
I was really happy to see this in my feed, Krazy-8 has always been a personal sleeper favorite thanks to those first Breaking Bad episodes. What a way to start off the show immediately in a way that hooked me (and apparently nearly everyone). I was happy when they expanded on him in Better Call Saul, which gives those scenes with Walt even more meaning, the way Rogue One was already a good film on its own, but as more is added to the 'Andorverse', the end of his story grows ever more meaningful.
I've been watching through all your breaking bad and better call saul videos recently and I just wanted to say that your videos are so amazing, and the amount of time and effort you put into them is great! All of the videos have a lot of research put into them and they are all super well made.
Your BB/BCS content has always been my favorite out of any other, but your character retrospectives are on another level. Incredibly happy to have found your channel!
Also I’m putting my vote in for a Badger retrospective at some point. He’s my favorite character :)
I didn’t realise that was crazy 8 in better call saul. Cool
Walt cutting the crust off the sandwiches was nothing but forecasting of how he takes treats from people that he kills like kneeling on the floor to vomit with a towel after he killed Gus and saying you’re not done I see you’re done like dead after he killed him
Dude the ocarina of time soundtrack in the background thought I was going crazy. Classic 👌
One of Walt's idiosyncrasies was adopting a character trait of somebody he killed, though I forgot what he took from Gus and Mike.
Here's a list of the keepsakes/idiosyncrasies that Walt inherits from each kill of his.
Krazy-8: Cutting crust off of bread
The plane crash victims: The teddy bear eye
Gale: The Walt Whitman book
Gus: His cleanliness, way of addressing coworkers under duress of being bugged, and the grieving pose
Mike: The way he drinks and his matter-of-fact way of saying yes for an answer
Hank: His specific whiskey order
@@weirdguy1495 he also became Jesse’s partner and cook, just like Emilio was.
Furthermore he killed Jack with the same gun that the latter used to kill Hank, cutting him off mid-sentence as well.
What would make this guy I “wanna be” gangster? I mean he was selling drugs, he didn’t have a problem, killing people, and he was making a lot of money. Seems like a regular gangster to me lol
i said the same thing
hell yeah, please never stop!
also pretty please do a video on wendy.
I know it'll be short but she's such an underrated character!
Gotta love Wendy! 😂
Yo, the way that Vince Gilligan and co add little details is amazing. I didn't even notice the tampico logo on his shirt even during rewacthes of Better Call Saul.
huh, kinda funny that both krazy and nacho's final moments involve using a broken plate/mug being concealed as a weapon
I also like Hank using his "lie-detector" on Krazy8 at the interrogation as Gomez is checking Krazy8's papers. Krazy8 makes the same nervous and scared facial expression as he did when Tuco used his "lie-detector" Altho it was short, Krazy8 felt the same fear with Hank when he did with Tuco.
The fact that you can make an hour and a half video about such a minor character is insane.
Now that I’m early to one of your videos and can leave a comment that you’ll hopefully see, I absolutely LOVE your videos man. I always put them on to listen to when I’m playing Minecraft, and you’re just so good at going through the story of these shows, bravo kiwi
The weirdest thing is that Tuco even allows krazy 8 to run his business, considering his whole “nobody sells crystal but me.” Thing.
Fun fact: Krazy was supposed to die the same time Emilio did, however the cast and crew loved his actor so much and was such a nice guy that they asked Vince if his character could stay on the show for a bit longer.
heh kiwi actually mentioned that
Serio?
@@jamescorfield534it was said in the video
good, the scene where walt had to personally kill krazy with the lock is one of the saddest and brutal deaths and forshadows walt eventual lack of distaste towards murder
55:30
kiwi is one of the best youtubers out there, extremely detailed and accurate, putting together so many things i would have missed about my favorite 2 shows. thanks a ton.
It’s cool to see you do a video on Krazy-8 man. Keep up the great work and have a great Christmas weekend. Take care!
39:53 there's also possible that salamanca purged or disowned Nacho associates.
Because when Nacho died the Salamancas was told that he work for Alvarez for years. That might include Nachos associates
I watched this whole thang, and I loved it!! Really depth into the character and we dive deep into his history, emotions and outcomes! Incredible - I also love the runescape background music!!
Kiwi came thru with another banger!
Consistency and quality 👏
Pretty sure the reason why the diamingo wasn’t wearing his work shirt after getting a blackeye is because his father gave him an ultimatum saying that he quit he’ll drugs that he lives a criminal life if he’s going to work for him, so he fired him
What I can tell you about the first ever scene with KRAZY-8, I read the screenplay of Pilot & he was originally playing NBA video game on his PS2 instead of training his dog. Also his home was described as a ‘crack house’. If there is an extended version of his first scene as you mentioned I want to watch it.
Everything about this show is so well done. I think it has more replay value than breaking bad.
Loving your work! Can't wait to see more and from other shows!
To answer your question about Walt going to the police instead of killing him or letting him go, it's not an option. Firstly there's almost no chance Krazy 8 would get charged with anything, whereas Walt would definitely get charged with kidnapping and probably murder. The DA would have no real case against Krazy 8. Any evidence or testimony would be from Walt/Jesse, kidnappers who disposed of a body in acid.
I saw your first deep dive months ago and wondered if you would continue them. Was so happy to see you continuing them :)
More to come!
hell yeah another banger bcs/breaking bad retrospective, just in time for christmas
Such a great job! Very detailed and interesting 👍👍👍
Wind waker pirate ship music>
When you post content like this i feel liike breaking bad is still on the air , appreciate the work 💪
These videos are great. Keep them coming!!
Lalo Salamanca literally gave Domingo his iconic BrBra name and Hector Salamanca his iconic bell.
thank you so much for these breakdowns!!!!!!
Great video man, keep up the great content
I'm going Krazy 8 times, from this man not having minimun 100k subs with videos like this
Great to see you Kiwi!!
For some reason I thought you made a video about him already but I’m actually happy to come across from this! While Jimmy and Nacho are my favorite characters out of the whole franchise I have a special appreciation for krazy-8 he’s so underrated and the fact that we know him but we don’t fully know everything about him makes the character even more intriguing to me. It’s even more sad to know how he died after seeing him bcs. I also saw a theory somewhere that Domingo and principal Carmen are related somehow bc they share a last name but ik that’s probably far fetched
Dude im so glad i scrolled upon this video. i was just thinking last night, after a breaking bad yt video that didnt even mention him, about krazy and the many other characters stories you recieve through out the stories of jimmy mcgill and walter white
Decent Breakdown, I appreciate the effort.
Always good to see a Kiwi upload, I would like to see The Full Story of Don Eladio soon
Not every day you see someone with a Megadeth profile picture.
Rust in Peace is probably my favorite album, but it's hard to pick favorites. It's album cover is my favorite, though. It's my Reddit profile picture, exactly the same as yours, haha.
@@Mantis_Toboggan_TrashMan best album ever made, every song is as good as the last
Please make more videos on this topic. And put them in a playlist. I'd like to know more about every criminal character from Br Ba. How about Hector Salamanca?
One thing I always love about both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is its use of side characters. They never feel like extras and props for the main characters. They feel like people who have their own stories that happens in the background.
It’s kind of funny how this retrospective is probably longer than all of Crazy 8’s screen time, and yet I listened to the whole thing…
this is how deep the breaking bad universe is. Even a minor side character has 1 and a half hours worth of lore and story. Bravo vince!! 👏
SO STOKED for this video
I cant wait to watch this 😭
Thank you for that awesome Christmas present! :)
I love the Zelda background music. Kakariko village from ocarina at 46:40. Never noticed it until now
Crazy 8 look like mexican Pete Davidson
Man you've got to love the background music!
I can't agree that Crazy-8 had a "heart of gold at his core". He used that veneer with the intention of coming back to murder Walt and Jesse. Nothing he did indicated he had any true good in him.
You go soooo much in detail
Fun fact: Beat Rice is actually VividKiwi's evil twin irl 😅
Hey nice video kiwi!!!
Hey Kiwi? How long before the next video release?
No way Kiwi put ocarina of time music in this video 🤤
BB & BCS was so good because they knew their audience was smarter that most tv.shows think. They didnt over write and over explain stuff, to where it was obvious that it was just exposition to tell the audience what is going on.
That's why most tv is just unwatchable, imo.
Excellent video, bud! Glad the almighty algorithm recommended you.
The goat of BrBa and BCS content has once again blessed us with another banger
He cookin up a goated season 4 retrospective
Mexican Pete Davidson
always felt kinda sorry for this guy
@TheVividKiwi When's the Breaking Bad season 4 retrospective coming out? 😢
The dead rising 2 music is a nice touch
A little off on those dates. Had me feeling a lot older than I am 😀- Great video!
Could it be krazy 8 is to blame for hector finding out about nachos fathers business in the first place?
Amazing that crazy 8 has so much lore
Oh my god man, i never realized that it was Krazy 8 when i watched better call saul, it just didnt click for me one bit.
Krazy 8 in BB was the boss fight vs BCS when he's a playable character
krismass kame early this year... thanks vivid kiwi
Manscape marketing team "do they have a youtube channel? Yes make a deal"
38:25
Wind waker music lol
33:15 I'm reminded of a poem;
Shake, shake the ketchup bottle.
First none'll come, and then a lot'll.
Dead Rising 2 shopping mall music for the video. Nice
I listen to your videos in my car on my lunch break While eating mcdonald's
Thanks 😊
At 1:36:35, can you see 88 on Tuco's back (possibly from his undershirt?)
Is that the Wind Waker OST I hear at 24:15? Great vid btw!
Babe wake up new kiwi video dropped
Está de madre...talking about Ocholoco. "Agárrate dos Modelos..."
yes
lets gooooooooooo
I wish they would do more episodes/spin-offs but I know that's highly unlikely!!
Tampico is also this drink. It's thick and orange.. it kinda taste like sunny delight but thicker consistency but it's bangin. I thank god there's hella hispanics in my area😂🙏 I can't live without empanadas
Kant believe he used to be Kalm-8 until he entered a life of Krime
19:02 Kiwi,i just realized you're a fellow Canadian!...because of the way you say Sorry (which Canadians say as "So-ree", while Americans say it as "Saw-ree").
Not that it changes anything, you're content is great regardless of nationality; it's just cool to know (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)👍🏻
I was asked to cast for Emilio’s character. I told Sharon(csa) I’m not an actor but if anytime you need a sushi chef then I’m your man.
hi kiwi, I know this is a bit off topic to your video but i’m not sure how else to get this out to you 😅. in season 4 episode 5 of better call saul, there’s that flash forward into the scene where jimmy mentions to Francesca about calling someone, saying “tell ‘em jimmy sent ya.” during that time we thought that there has been no one in the shows we knew saul could be referring to them as someone he knew back when he was still jimmy. I was thinking, what about Judge Papadoumian? she was mentioned in both shows, and i’m pretty sure they knew each other back when saul was jimmy. this could be a pretty creative scape goat idea from the writers since they’ve been known to use throw away names like lalo and nacho back in the second season 2 of breaking bad. Judge Papadoumian isn’t a throw away name, but has been mentioned enough times for me to think that maybe papadoumian is who saul was referring to. I’m not sure if you’ve thought about this, so let me know! i think it’s a pretty good theory
Well I made a video discussing this between seasons 5-6, and it’s still one of the unanswered questions of the show. I mentioned it in my bcs unanswered questions video, but am still unsure who it was.
90 minutes devoted to crazy 8? What's he got? Like 20 minutes total screen time over 2 series???
And screen time in BCS
what song is playing at 1:33:30 ?
