One of my favorite things about Saul is that he came just about time to be THE comic relief character after others like Jesse and Hank got serious in the plot
I read the wiki on this show and yeah thats exactly the reason why they created him The directors didnt want the whole cast to just be depression which is why they had Hank to be the first comic relief.

@@chromaperipheralyeah he was way outta line there 😂 but then again were talking about a guy who started dirty flirting with Skyler at their first ever meeting in front of Walter 😂
It's impressive how he takes control of the situation as soon as he recognizes Walt's cough, by appearing sympathetic he's able to get Walt to take his mask off and expose his identity and from there is the one with the control in the situation as he realizes they need him alive.
Goddamnit, that first scene is probably the funniest scene in Breaking Bad. Saul’s “let’s not get lost in the who, what, where, when.” and the sound Walt makes when Mike picks him up both gave me a belly laugh. Also “you’re a crybaby! Oh boo-hoo I won’t make meth anymore” is such a great line.
Jimmy knew that he hadn't gotten on anyone's bad side enough to be executed except for Lalo. As long as Lalo wasn't paying the guys with the gun to his head he was fine. Because as long as it wasn't Lalo there is room for negotiations.
When he said "Lalo didn't send you? Oh thank god!" We all imagined what kind of stuff he was tangled up in prior to Breaking Bad, but who knew they'd spin this into another villain rivaling Gus. Also, "go grab a juice-box, have a nap." is my favourite line in all of BB

Still love the fact that he was planned as a 1 episode comic relief thing but then Bob Odenkirk was killing it *so* much that they all loved him and kept finding ways of writing him into more episodes and eventually a show of his own
Lalo didnt sent you? - I can fcking believe it. So this is the overlap moment. Saul was still entangled with the whole Lalo-situation when they kidnapped him.

GOD, now that everything is pretty much recontextualized the sheer hollowness and lack of genuine happyness out of BB Saul Goodman is actually freaky. Is like watching a zombie version of the man he once was, and almost every single bit of humor becomes extremely tragic when thinking about how truly depressed and mentally unstable he actually is beyond the superficial clown act.

@@austintoney9778 needless confession. I didn't watch Breaking Bad until 2 months ago. I immediately started watching BCS so those names were really fresh in my head. I couldn't imagine trying to piece it together if I was on board with BB like everyone else years ago.

Unrelated but I just watched El Camino and Suzanne the district attorney shows up in one of the TV scenes reporting on the incident. Insane continuity.
8:02 “…a little transpositional error…” Jimmy also *transposed* the property address numbers in his brother’s Mesa Verde files. These writers are so good!
Commenting after the mid-season finale of Better Call Saul season 6. Man, I can't wait to see how Jimmy fully becomes the Saul I see in this video. Also, after watching Better Call Saul, the scene in the desert hits so hard. With "It wasn't me, it was Ignasio!" he transformed back into Jimmy.
@@AlexWalkerSmith That's completely missing the point of the time jump. Once Kim leaves Jimmy has absolutely nothing left tethering him from fully becoming Saul. The time jump was a stroke of genius on the writers part.
Honestly, how is Walt so strong here as to lift him out from behind his desk and fling him to the ground with seemingly little effort until they struggle on the floor lmao. Like really, the way he pulls him doesn't look remotely easy to the average person at all lmao.
@GodOfEbic This is also true, especially if he was shit talking his wife. Just funny how in the one second he goes from super strong to "HNNNG STOP HITTING MY FACE" while struggling with him XD. Like he didn't even manage to hit Saul when he had him on his back, figured a punch or two atleast, though I guess that is harder to manage in the choreography
Its a collar bar, howard wears a collar pin. Same function but one can be worn with any shirt while the pin (howards) needs specially tailored shirts. I guess the main takeaway is howard was the real deal while jimmy is a cheap imitation..at least within that world. Although nothing wrong with collar bars and they were never seen as tacky the way a clip on tie would be.
@@johnmurdoch8534 Dude... That amount of information... Thank you! I would never know it actually any i didn't even know the name of that in English. Appreciated!
I just realized he said "para siempre soy amigo, siempre soy amigo del Cartel". Which roughly translates to "I'll be always friends (friendly), forever friends with the Cartel".
I now noticed that in the “put a dollar in my pocket” scene the first thing he says to beg is “soy amigo del Cartel” which is also the first thing he says in season 5 when begging for his life
after watching s6 ep9 of BCS, you can’t help but see Saul Goodman as the animated corpse of our dear friend Jimmy McGill who died when you-know-what happened…
The #1 scene at the end of the countdown is seriously the best ever. He NAILS it. 😂 Bob Odenkirk makes me smile every time he is on screen. He nails this character. Saul would never have had a spin-off if anybody else was the actor.
4:26 As of BCS 6x07 I have a pretty good idea of what’ll happen to Lalo. Since he returned to Albuquerque and he skipped his bail as Jorge De Guzman it’s likely he’s gonna be hunted down and locked up to the extent that he’ll never be able to touch Gus’ operation. Fring would continue to have Mike act as his liaison as a favor, leading to their relationship with Walt and Jesse in BB. As far as Kim is concerned, and accounting for what happened to Howard this week, I think it’s safe to say she doesn’t have a happy ending.
No shot, Lalo is definitely dead. We all know how meticulous Gus is, so for Gus to tell Hector that the Salamanca name would die with him, Gus has to know, for sure, that Lalo is dead. Maybe Gus killed Lalo with his own hands.
As for Kim, I doubt that she's dead, maybe she disappeared through Ed the vacuum repairman (which, of course, could be a red herring), maybe she turned herself in or was locked up behind bars. Or maybe she's dead, I don't know.
@@XiyuYang I think the reason why Gus insisted Mike leave the room so he could hide his gun in the meth lab earlier in season 6 was because he wants to kill Lalo with his own hands but he knows his team will think that is too risky for him to do
A little transpositional error, nothing a mittle whiteout can't take care of...some crazy foreshadowing of his scheme to get his brother in BCS. Not to mention the Lalo and Ignacio reference.
I prefer Saul Goodman/Jimmy McGill over Walter White/Heisenberg any day. Both are great as characters, but Saul is more fun than Walter. And I like Jesse Pinkman and Mike Ehrmantraut better!
In BCS, he and Kim were watching an old film about the arctic that was about Ice Station Zebra. They then did their first con together as Viktor and Giselle, telling the mark to make the check out to Ice Station Zebra. Now in BB, he told Badger to make the money order out to Ice Station Zebra.
Amex allows for chargebacks (so does everyone else) and you basically are guaranteed to get your money back as a customer if you complain, whereas most other CC companies will have you prove your case
Wow such a crazy and great piece of continuity when Jesse and Walter were trying to scare Saul - he says Ignacio did it and he wondered if Lalo sent them. Amazing.
Mike just watching Walt attack Saul with that look on his face like a grandpa observing his grandkids bickering before deciding if it's worth putting down his newspaper to step in or not.
@@swayIo yeah ik, just hard to believe he turns into such a sleazy type of person. Its amazing how, Jimmy McGill, Saul Goodman, Gene Takavic, are all vastly different.
I love how Mike slowly gets up and breaks up the fight between Walt and Saul like he’s a disappointed father
i freakin' love how accurately you described it omg 😂😂😂😂
That too he grabbed him by the belt and yeeted him like nothing

1:33 did anyone noticed that Saul is wearing the same stuff that Howard used to use in his tie beyond the episodes of better call Saul?
Its a collar bar, howard wears a collar pin. Same function but one can be worn with any shirt while the pin (howards) needs specially tailored shirts. I guess the main takeaway is howard was the real deal while jimmy is a cheap imitation..at least within that world.
Although nothing wrong with collar bars and they were never seen as tacky the way a clip on tie would be.
@@johnmurdoch8534 Dude... That amount of information... Thank you! I would never know it actually any i didn't even know the name of that in English. Appreciated!
Mike sitting there watching Jimmy play the same game he's seen him play for years. One that got alot of people killed.
I just realized he said "para siempre soy amigo, siempre soy amigo del Cartel". Which roughly translates to "I'll be always friends (friendly), forever friends with the Cartel".
"Siempre soy amigo del cartel"
The title lalo bestowed upon him years earlier
"What do I look like, your high school girlfriend 5 fingers no waiting?" 😂 one of my favorite lines of the entire series. Lol
I now noticed that in the “put a dollar in my pocket” scene the first thing he says to beg is “soy amigo del Cartel” which is also the first thing he says in season 5 when begging for his life
Bob Odenkirk is such an amazingly talented person
Its just dawned on me that Saul had lived a whole life before Walt and Jesse dragged him in front of that hole.
saul is such a great foil to walt its great! I love his optimistic confident personality compared to walts cautious one
0:44 when he said that, you know it was cuz he felt safe with Mike in the room lmao
0:04 Mike's wince in the back lol
Hahahahaha I never noticed that, thanks lol
4:30 it's horrible after the mid season finale
No shit he was that scared every time he crossed paths with lalo he got traumatized
This has me super pumped for the upcoming final episodes of BCS. Kim has to still be out there.
After "Fun and Games", all of this hits differently.
Jimmy the absolute G. That scene with Jesse’s parents is pure gold
The fact that Bob and Bryan were roommates irl at the time broooo that house had to be lit and funny
"MY DADDY AND MY MOMMY AND MY DADDY AND MY MO-O-OMY .. DA-DADDY AND MY MOMMY AND MY-"
"Stop!"
0:10
Jesse Pinkman in the house
The real question is - why Saul hates American Express?
They take some percentage of the amount being transferred .every bank takes some but american express takes more
In so little words he's explained it so perfectly, thank you.
Saul hates America
Who doesn't?
The first scene is even funnier thinking about the Better Call Saul flashback in which Mike very strongly tells Saul not to do business with Walt.
4:10 Saul just mentioned Ignacio Varga and Lalo Salamaca that werent even in this show!
They’re just random names to imply that he deals with criminals. Then in better call Saul they made them into real characters
"flat fee clients, am I right?" Is beautiful.
Odenkirk really is the glue, here. Such an excellent fulcrum for the plot.
Did anyone else feel a tension relief whenever Saul showed in breaking bad? He’s almost the only likable character in the whole series.
He's gonna sing like selene dion regardless of what you do to me😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
That "Thank God" hits different after knowing what he went through with Nacho and Lalo in Better Call Saul. lol
after watching s6 ep9 of BCS, you can’t help but see Saul Goodman as the animated corpse of our dear friend Jimmy McGill who died when you-know-what happened…
Yeah.
Mike is in no hurry to break up Walt and Jimmy!
Correct. If anything, Mike gets angrier with Saul as Breaking Bad progresses since Mike told Saul not to get involved with Walter.
Oh yeah. 💯
“Amigo del cartel” (friend of the cartel) hits different after BCS
The #1 scene at the end of the countdown is seriously the best ever. He NAILS it. 😂
Bob Odenkirk makes me smile every time he is on screen. He nails this character. Saul would never have had a spin-off if anybody else was the actor.
The last one is Hank realized he is facing another tier of speech and discover that Saul is his long lost dad.
8:05 “nothing a little white out can’t take care of” referencing the whiting out of the address that sent Chuck down his suicidal spiral
4:26
As of BCS 6x07 I have a pretty good idea of what’ll happen to Lalo.
Since he returned to Albuquerque and he skipped his bail as Jorge De Guzman it’s likely he’s gonna be hunted down and locked up to the extent that he’ll never be able to touch Gus’ operation. Fring would continue to have Mike act as his liaison as a favor, leading to their relationship with Walt and Jesse in BB.
As far as Kim is concerned, and accounting for what happened to Howard this week, I think it’s safe to say she doesn’t have a happy ending.
No shot, Lalo is definitely dead. We all know how meticulous Gus is, so for Gus to tell Hector that the Salamanca name would die with him, Gus has to know, for sure, that Lalo is dead. Maybe Gus killed Lalo with his own hands.
As for Kim, I doubt that she's dead, maybe she disappeared through Ed the vacuum repairman (which, of course, could be a red herring), maybe she turned herself in or was locked up behind bars. Or maybe she's dead, I don't know.
I think Kim is behind the scene for Saul in BB.Saul look way to happy in BB if anything bad happen to Kim in BCS
@@XiyuYang I think the reason why Gus insisted Mike leave the room so he could hide his gun in the meth lab earlier in season 6 was because he wants to kill Lalo with his own hands but he knows his team will think that is too risky for him to do
A little transpositional error, nothing a mittle whiteout can't take care of...some crazy foreshadowing of his scheme to get his brother in BCS. Not to mention the Lalo and Ignacio reference.
I prefer Saul Goodman/Jimmy McGill over Walter White/Heisenberg any day. Both are great as characters, but Saul is more fun than Walter.
And I like Jesse Pinkman and Mike Ehrmantraut better!
"It wasnt me, It was Ignacio"
Vince Gilligan gave us Walter White
Peter Gould gave us Jimmy McGill
this is the moment vince gilligan became peter gould
In BCS, he and Kim were watching an old film about the arctic that was about Ice Station Zebra. They then did their first con together as Viktor and Giselle, telling the mark to make the check out to Ice Station Zebra. Now in BB, he told Badger to make the money order out to Ice Station Zebra.
4:26 Lol did he just say Lalo? 😂😂 Oh god whatever happened is coming
4:11 When we are all done with BCS, this scene will make perfect sense.
now we’re at the point where we know what it all means
I can't wait for best walter scenes in better call saul
Mike intervening on Walter's attack on Saul is exactly like a father who couldn't give anymore shits about his kids fighting.
8:54 I was hoping his bias against AmE would be explained in BCS.
A lot of stores don’t accept Amex just because it takes a big percentage. More than basically anyone else.
Amex allows for chargebacks (so does everyone else) and you basically are guaranteed to get your money back as a customer if you complain, whereas most other CC companies will have you prove your case
Wow such a crazy and great piece of continuity when Jesse and Walter were trying to scare Saul - he says Ignacio did it and he wondered if Lalo sent them. Amazing.
Love how Mike doesn't even bat an eye when Walter goes feral on Saul.
Lmao Mike is just so bored and slowly gets up and effortlessly picks up Walt aside
"He's gonna sing like Celine Dion" lol
Saul Goodman would definitely be my first choice for a legal partner.
It's so interesting to me how Saul from Bcs acts nothing like Breaking Bad Saul.
that's jimmy, not saul
@@mayabartolabac He's calling himself Saul Goodman in BCS but doesn't act nearly as goofy as he does in BB.
@@shanebrown3320 there’s probably an event we haven’t seen yet that will fully propel him into the Saul Goodman goofy persona
@@morganfreeman2102 I'm assuming the more he works with criminals the goofier he will become.
Let's see how bts ends
it’s funny when Saul tries to gaslight Walt abt why he bugged his house, and just fails miserably
Mike just watching Walt attack Saul with that look on his face like a grandpa observing his grandkids bickering before deciding if it's worth putting down his newspaper to step in or not.
RIP Howard
After Better Call Saul, I see him completely different now!😆
0:49 Mike just be sitting there thinking “man….”
Saul is just hilarious !
4:26 wow Lalo mentioned waaay early on
So much different than BCS Saul
Almost too different, im curious how they will make him be like thi
@@sammyboy13nov My little theory is that Kim is gonna screw over Jimmy so bad to the point that it breaks him entirely
That's.... That's the whole point of the show... It's a character study just like the central characters' development in BB
@@swayIo yeah ik, just hard to believe he turns into such a sleazy type of person. Its amazing how, Jimmy McGill, Saul Goodman, Gene Takavic, are all vastly different.
Different, yet not different at all.
