- This giant video is a supercut of my Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul rankings, re-organised into a new and improved ultimate ranking of both shows. There are also new segments on Slippin' Jimmy and El Camino, plus I have new segments for episodes where my opinion has changed significantly. Plus there's a few special surprises hidden in this 195 minute behemoth. Enjoy!

the best Slippin Jimmy: _absolutely terrible_
the worst of Better Call Saul: _stunningly beautiful_
Lmao I find it so funny that people get so mad about some cartoon that isn't even canon. Like stop bullying something that's so easy to bully. It's lame and low hanging fruit.
@@Jor_P It's just so easy. It's low hanging fruit as I said. Everyone knows it's bad. Idk why it bothers you so much. It's just strange to me and kind of a weak insult.
@@Jor_P No one said you're not allowed. It's just so easy and lame. It's kinda pointless too. It's like comedians making fun of Putin. Like no shit everyone hates him. I'm sure you could come up with something else to make fun of. You seem like a smart guy Jor_P. I also don't know why it makes you so angry. But yes of course no one is physically stopping you from making your weak jokes about a bad cartoon that isn't even canon lmao.
@@Jor_P Anyway buddy I'm not gonna go on one of these never ending arguments on the Internet I see about the dumbest shit. And I've clearly started to do that. So I'm done responding.
@@michaellong4980It's terrible, if you don't criticise it they will think we like it and make more.
it's crazy how even the "worst" breaking bad episodes still have iconic moments like the "why are you blue" scene or the walking off to the car exploding scene
As he said, by about the midway point, it really just becomes a question of personal taste and priorities since it's all gold.
the car exploding scene is so bad lol its so obv they only added that bc they had to fit the cool scene quota even if walt had to be against cooking meth for 2 episodes. it made no sense
@@whatwhatwfeenfeenbut it also shows how smart walt is and his ego very early on
Fly is good but having it over Ozymandias, Full Measure, Half Measure, etc. is fckng insane.
Ewwwwwwwwwwww
Self censoring
He definitely did that to piss people off. Literally the lowest rated episode lol.
I just like the episode 🙁
@@HNfilms I do think it’s a bad episode on first viewing, but is better on a second or more watch.
@@TheWell-RoundedPotatoewwwww caring about how people express themselves
the amount of time this guy uses the Howard death clip is insane
the clip played as i read this comment and i lol'd
I made the mistake of trying to watch this before I was done BCS season 5, skipping any episode I hadn't seen. I was already spoiled on every major character death, but I still had to look away everytime that clip played
@inaviatable118 why would you do that
@@HNfilms Watch the video prematurely? I was impatient and wanted to watch it before my breaking bad high came down.
Avoid the howard clip like the plague? Even tho I knew the circumstances of his death, I didn't want to know exactly how the scene plays out
@@inaviatable118nah you're making an L decision
I’m so glad somebody finally talked about Granite State, that ending scene was the scene that moved me the most in any piece of media ever
I think it is beyond perfect
Yeah, definitely my favorite ending scene in the show
Well he talked about EVERY episode
I love how he mentions more about the Kettleman’s return in carrot and stick more than AN ENTIRE SHOOTOUT
Kettlemans are more important
Betsy Kettleman made my sigma spray Shoot out
@@swagZanaris OH MY GOD?? HELP??
I didn't mind the change in actors for Jeff because I see it as Gene being intimidated and concerned when he first meets him, then seeing him how he actually is
Copium. It’s pretty bad, especially since they made the decision to not recast anyone under any circumstances, but made an exception for a minor character.
I didn’t even notice lol
@@NoThankYous yeah I'm surprise people even noticed this
@@pretzelstick320you can’t just call everything someone doesn’t have a problem with cope lmao
@@pretzelstick320even if it wasn't intended to have that affect, it still did. Obviously the actor wasn't supposed to be recast but that doesn't change that it happened and that it created that element of Jeff 1.0 being from Jimmy's perspective and Jeff 2.0 being from Saul's perspective, even if that wasn't what the writers intended
I feel like Lalo's first appearance in Coushatta does not receive enough love, such a cool scene that depicts his character perfectly.
Also, glad to see early season BCS Episodes at the top of the list. For me those early seasons are criminally underrated
"We also get to meet nacho. Who at this stage is a far cry from what he becomes down the road"
Touché
What dat mean
He's the first villain in Far Cry 3@@marshmellowguy586
@@marshmellowguy586 the actor, Michael Mando, is well known for his role as Vaas in Far Cry 3
I know many will disagree but I love season 2 of BB. It shows how Jesse and Walt have to truly learn about selling their product smart and learning the dangers of overstepping. Honestly I prefer it over S3
didn't realize there were a lot of haters of season 2 of Breaking Bad.
Thank you! It has so many important character moments
S2 is the best
I respectfully disagree
S2 is better than 3,4, and 5.
Hey mate, congratulations on making this.
Your GOT video was the main inspiration for all this, your comment means a lot. Whens the next pisstake
Any chance we get new music before HotD S2?
I like how after the first episode on the list i opened the comments to see if anyone else was reminded of the Glidus movie and this is the first comment i see
What´s Glombee doing here?
Crawl Space will forever remain my favorite, the climax of Walt's character and the ending sequence is chef's kiss still
29:23 Mike’s “guy” is definitely Victor. Nacho wasn’t even a created character yet and Victor had just died. Even if Mike didn’t like him he still at the very least respected his ability to keep his mouth shut and do his job.
i kinda doubt it tbh. i don’t think mike would get that defensive about victor 💀 in my head i think when they made that scene they didn’t have a character as “that guy” yet so i honestly think it’s nacho since nacho was kinda like mike’s jesse in better call saul at moments
It certainly was. However he felt about Victor as a person, the two had a clear rapport. Watch the scene in "Half Measures" where Jesse gets caught again. Mike and Victor are a perfect team, and their smart enough to keep up with each other.
@coloncancer8396 nacho doesn't even make sense though. Mike didn't hire nacho as a bodyguard or something
Victor had just died a few episodes before Mike started talking about “the guy”, of course he was talking about Victor
3:10:56 this is my favorite shot in the whole show. Kim sitting between the letters EX in EXIT. Ex wife. Not to mention the obvious Chuck references.
Wow, insane catch there
@@teakfreeman3543thank you
her feet shots better
My favorite running bit in this video (and the previous ones before it) is calling any action a character makes “trolling”
Theres a lot of trolling in the BBU what can I say?
Words cannot describe how much I love the thumbnail for this one
It’s my greatest work
@@HNfilmsLet’s put it up in a museum
@@HNfilms I like how mike is in the middle lol, considering how he's probably one of the only characters the has so much screen time in both shows.
1:30:02
"we also get to meet nacho, who at this stage was a Far Cry"
"did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?"
Love your games ❤️
Winner will always be my favorite. Amazing list overall. This is insane.
Same. Just so much stuff there.
Saul Gone is still in my top 5 though
I think chicanery and Saul gone are my favorite better call Saul episodes
The dread in waiting for Fly to show up is wild.
Real talk- why do people say ‘Walt won?’
Because he got revenge on Todds family and Jesse escaped?
I don’t think the ending means that he ‘won’ or even got off easy.
He lost it all in the end
He didnt have to go to jail I guess
He was able to give the money to his family and he died, when he deserved a much worse fate.
@@lospolloshermanos3490 Walt's terrible fate was being forced to live through cancer as a drug lord. He wanted to die, to escape from his hellish life before his family grew to hate him (as evident in S2E9 of BB, the episode where he beats the shit out of the paper towel dispenser). He was not granted the sweet release he wanted. Instead, he lived, up until the point where his wife and only son hated him. Nobody loved him as he laid on the ground dying. He may have been "victorious" but it cost him everything.
@@generalsour fax
@@HNfilms Walt’s fate is worse than being in Jail imo not having his family with him is hell
1:30:02 LMFAOOOO I see what you did there. Got a huge chuckle out of me haha
Solid ranking. My top 3 (in no particular order) are Face Off, Ozymandias, and Plan & Execution
there are no words to describe how truly amazing the better call saul finally is
And yet still Ozymandias is the true climax of Cinema. Nothing is better
@@smallbudoofelina, winner, full measure, saul gone>
@@_.Bettercallsaul._edits no
The trilogy is now complete 🗣️
Loved this! Congrats on the great video! I loved both shows and BCS is probably one of the few shows that lives rent free in my mind. So many good moments, great scenes, writing, acting, all. Things to think about, to reflect on.
Amazing video with amazing editing, can’t wait for “Every Kim Wexler Foot Scene Ranked”
Damn. I'm gonna enjoy this a Lot
Thank you and amazing video
2:21:40 honestly part of me interpreted Mikes "come on, do it" as Nacho held Bolsa hostage was him hoping that Nacho tried to fight back.
I 100 percent agree. I think he was saying kill Bolsa. I feel like if he had Mike would have started shooting
The videos are so relaxing to watch before bed 😂 ty for working hard you entertain me every night!🔥
If Snow Globe snuck into this ranking then the Kettleman "No Picnic" and "American Greed: James McGill" should've made it, along with the minisodes and bcs training videos. I didn't even know Snow Globe existed until just now lol
Fuck I shouldve included the American Greed video
@@HNfilmsRewatch the whole universe again and make a new video ranking every single piece of content that came out of it.
It’s always so enlightening when you start off a ranking video and the episodes on the bottom of the list (except for Slippin’ Jimmy) are overall still decent episodes and can stand up on their own despite the small parts that can bog it down 👏👏👏
Mike's guy was definitely Victor. Even if he didn't like him, he had to work with him.
Definitely
Or maybe was Nacho, because of his emotional attachment to him and how he saw Nacho in Jesse too and ended up caring for him and trying to make Jesse not share the same fate
Nacho as his guy makes more thematic sense but he didnt really do much proper “work” with him compared to Victor or any of Gus’ other goons
@@uruacufutsal1 I don't believe emotional attachment was what they were thinking about when they wrote Mike saying that line. This line of thinking, my line of thinking, is based on the fact that Breaking Bad was done before the idea of Mike and Nacho's relationship in BCS was even conceptualized.
@@HNfilms I know about thematic sense, but I'm talking about the context the line was both written and said under. He had a guy, but that guy was murdered by Gus, and now he doesn't have a guy. And the relationship between Nacho and Mike wasn't written until further into Better Call Saul. So I have reason to believe the writers meant for Mike to mean that Victor was his guy.
Thanks for making this!!
I’m glad you put 4 Days Out so high, it’s my comfort episode that I watch when I just want to have something on and I think it’s really good.
Thanks for making this
This is going to be amazing
Banger video. Great work mate
slipping jimmy would be sm better if instead of being animated it was just bob odenkirk pretending to be a child in that really shitty wig from the bcs flashbacks
W video, can't wait to watch this
Good video! Appreciate these moreso just hearing your thoughts on each episode. Also love to see someone shouting out Walt's last line in Saul Gone. The real chicanery is ranking Snow Globe but not No Picnic and Squat Cobbler, though
I've been excitedly waiting! Happy holidays to me! Nice work, HN!
Great video
The Sonic 3 & Knuckles of HN FILMS
I think a way to improve everything about Gus and Lalo's confrontation would be for Gus to have planted multiple guns in the superlab. Overkill? Perfectly in character for Gus. Would it deflate the tension because Gus would have too many ways to win? Maybe, I'm not sure. But I think it would also add a different kind of tension by forcing Gus to think on his feet and choose which gun would be ideal to go for in his current circumstance. It would also lessen the predictability, since if he has multiple guns we can't know *exactly* how things would go, since we don't know which gun he'd go for. Hell, lessen the predictability even more by having him plant different types of defense tools, not just guns. (TT Games, if you're ever planning on making a LEGO game for BCS, here's your clue on how to make Point and Shoot the ultimate boss fight level.)
I think it might have been better if in the Gus and Lalo scene they didnt have that shot of the gun to remind us its there, let the viewer make the connection to the earlier episode where he planted the gun
@@HNfilms that's also true, putting that shot there is a bit of an insult to the viewers' intelligence.
To be fair a lot of the people watching this show now are dumb kids
@@HNfilmsit’s funny you say that because honestly when I watched the show I had no idea what Gus’s plan was until he shot Lalo, and I’m 19
@@HNfilmsOr maybe, you know, not have Lalo videotape Gus for 10 minutes when he could have just killed him. I get Gus needed to live obviously, but they shouldn’t have done it that way because it was just stupid how he could have just shot him but instead he was just sitting there recording.
Such an amazing video, I hope that with time it gets the recognition it deserves.
19:43 - omg I never saw that Walt and Marie made the same "what are you talking about" gesture :D Brilliant!
Great video man. This popped up on my page this morning and had never heard of you do this was a great find!
First person to count all the Howard death clips gets a gold medal
EDIT: Shoutouts to danieluss8729 for counting them all!
There’s, at least 4.
Nah just give me a cookie.
havent watched the vid yet but im gonna say 22
I counted 10, 11 if you count 1:59:30 as part of the howard death. I think I deserve that gold medal
1 million, take it or leave it buckaroo.
I do think that I love when Gus Fring started carrying a personal gun in Better Call Saul. Gus was never a gun man, he was a drug dealer who had men with guns. I do love that this was brought to light so well in the Breaking Bad universe.
There is a book by Matt Taibbi about a successful pot dealer. This pot dealer had people with guns because you can't go to small claims court with problems.
Legitimately screamed when Beat Rice showed up, this is truly a Bravo Vince moment.

Ozmadiyas is the best episode…. And for me fly was pretty special..I have never seen anything like it and I revisit that one sometimes. I was looking at its description and was a like WTF but than after I saw it…it was sad yet wholesome
very unexpected but welcome Beat Rice cameo, it was nice hearing their voice :D
FINALLY!!! Someone else who says Grabite State is their favourite. I appreciate it may not be the "best episode" but its definitely my personap favourite. Great vid btw, I enjoyed every minute.
Great video man, your humor is amazing lol subbed

Really well done video; came here from Beat Rice and outside of the through coverage plus his cameo, my favorite parts were that reference to the best movie ending ever with Face Off, bringing up the actress from Knock At The Cabin because I had watched that movie a month ago and actually hadn't recognized it was her from Winner...and Howard's Howard moment (which by the way, I don't know if you also noticed it but...
...the way it happens with the camera angle and table slam is very much like Chuck's own slip that I actually wonder if it was intentional as it also was Jimmy induced...vut even if it isn't, in retrospective its kinda funny they gave him that; though when I watched the episode first time me and my brother were legit speechless for almost a whole minute in disbelief.
Aye here it is! Hype!
Beat Rice's section was the best, thanks to him I found out about this video
Even though I don’t agree with some of your choices, I appreciate the different perspective here rather than seeing the usual choices. Also agree with you on the Fly episode
1:40:00 it's the first time I cried in this show. That scene itself showes how Jimmy loves Kim and he would do literally ANYTHING for her
But taking 86 years in jail so that she could get away scott free is kinda dumb to be honest
Who said she got off scot free?
@@HNfilms It seems to be implied that Jimmy taking the fall for everything leaves her more or less in the clear...correct me if you think I'm wrong though. There is still the potential civil suit I suppose. Kim was the driving force in the demise of Howard and I just felt that Jimmy took all the fall.
Betsy Kettlemilf is S tier content. Bravo HN.
I’m sorry but ozymandias at 15 is CRAZY. Overall great video though
better call saul? more like "better" watch this whole video in 1 day because i enjoy it. great job
great video! always love hearing other people’s opinions on these shows.
CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY 🔥🔥🔥🔥
W vid idea, I’ve got a couple of strong agrees/disagrees though that I think are fun to talk about. I like how your favorites aren’t all just the super basic top IMDB picks, but I think having some kind of time stamps in the description/comments for returning viewers to see the new segments would be good. I had to skip around just bc I’ve already watched the past rankings and I wanted to see what was new, something to streamline that process would be cool.
This is gonna be a long comment, I nearly made an hour+ long video on this topic but I doubt I’ll ever get around to making it bc of time:
I really like the BB S4 and S3 placements. IMO S4 is easily the most overrated portion of either show; a lot of bros say it’s the best season bc of Walt vs Gus but it’s one of the weakest in writing quality. From my perspective, both of these shows are at their best when they find a healthy balance between plot and character development. BB S3 is probably the best at that balance, as Walt, Skyler, and Hank are at their most complex while there are still plenty of exciting, memorable scenes and the plot has a clear direction. The character writing in S4 is comparatively thin, and the slower, early season episodes almost exclusively progress plot (buying the laundromat, establishing the cartel conflict) which isn’t very interesting, while seasons 2 and 3 used those slower episodes to focus on the characters, which makes those episodes comparatively richer. S5 is arguably more plot driven than S4 but seeing Walt in his sigma super villain mode was really satisfying after watching his moral compass progressively degrade over so many episodes, and the team’s “craft” really felt perfected by then. Most of S4 feels pretty surface level on a rewatch; S2 and S3 are far more layered, though the Walt + Skyler bickering in S2 gets pretty tiresome to watch. S3 is also hilarious, the cringe Walt scenes early on are genuinely some of the funniest bits of any film/show I’ve ever watched
I think going too far in the “character direction” on the plot vs character spectrum can be a bad thing too. Having BCS S1 as the best season is absolutely insane to me lol but the lower stakes and lack of an overarching narrative give the characters more room to breathe, and I understand why you might like that. But without a clear driving force for the plot, these episodes feel aimless and inconsequential.
As a point of comparison, BCS S4 leaves a ton of space for its characters too, but the overarching thematic and plot arcs, of Jimmy’s handling of Chuck’s suicide, the Werner situation challenging Mike’s ethical code of treating people who are in/out of the game differently, and Kim’s growing resentment with Mesa Verde and the pride she develops from her pro bono work, all feel far more intentional than S1’s “case of the week” approach. S4 has a lot of slow scenes like S1, but, unlike S1, I never thought the writers didn’t have a clear goal in mind with every episode. It feels like every S4 scene gives the viewer new insights into the characters that then become pivotal pieces of their arcs, while S1 is just kinda filling up time as the writers conjure up some menial problems that Jimmy can solve. I’m speaking in absolutes here; there are some examples that fit and don’t fit in with these generalizations (Chuck’s hidden resentment of Jimmy was well woven throughout the whole season, the Hummel heist serves Jimmy’s arc but is pretty inconsequential, etc.) but the overall impression of each season is what I’m talking about here.
I also think S1 looks kinda ugly as the lighting and color grading are a little too drab/flat. BCS’ aesthetic definitely peaked in S3 and S4; S2 is a little too saturated for me and S5 and S6 have this weird depth of field effect that sometimes makes it seem like the characters are standing in front of a green screen (the Kim and Cliff convo in Hit and Run really sticks in my mind as looking weird). I think they used new cameras in those final seasons bc NM doesn’t have actual film anymore or something like that, but the actual shot composition in a lot of these later episodes, JMM and Bad Choice Road stick out in particular, are still really great.
Some underrated episodes on this list to me were One Minute, Salud, Rebecca, Piñata, and JMM. They all have great, subtle character moments, while also having really memorable sections that have stuck with me. Fun and Games is probably my favorite BCS episode; it’s a cascade of subtly devastating moments that perfectly wrap up everyone’s arcs, and, though the cold cut felt really jarring and almost disappointing at first, in retrospect I think it’s absolutely genius. It perfectly communicates Jimmy’s emptiness in a way that a wacky montage where Saul pimps out his office wouldn’t have been able to, and I legit think it’s on the same level as the iconic 2001, bone to space station cut in regard to all-time best edits.
On a totally different note, your vids are really well made. The editing is crisp, the jokes are tight, etc. It’s always cool to see smaller-ish channels have high production quality, and I’ve enjoyed watching your vids ever since BCS ended
Ozy is definitely the best BB episode though, having it at 15 is a big skill issue and completely invalidates everything.
TLDR: This video is mid
least expressive bb/bcs fan
I see you read most of the comments. It is hard to rank this universe with so many great episodes, you did a great job, but not a perfect one. Waterworks is seriously one of the best in the entire show. It is definitely in the top 20 and it is top 5 for me. Every Kim scene is just fantastic, and the episodes truly ends the arch of the most important character in the show, Kim. The cinematography is brilliant, the acting is brilliant, it is brilliant in its entirety. The Saul part is also very well built, Marion character grows so well in the end. The “Saul Goodman” line is perfect as well
can someone find 1 season that doesnt have a season episode that kicks the rest of the season "in to high gear" 😂 great video
3 hrs 15 min of pure joy.
As much as I love BB, I cant deny that BCS is the better series. Sure its less action and lower stakes but you cant deny the amount of raw emotion that haunts BCS which makes it truly beautiful, im glad people are finally coming around to how potent this series is over BB.
It definitely isn't better ☠️
@@RabbidTheNabbithow so?
@@jaswanthvardireddy2243 breaking bad is a far more cohesive story, easier to follow, and is entertaining all throughout. better call saul is still very good, but it has very slow moments and doesnt get really good until around season 3.
@@BalsamicJeebs pacing and cohesiveness isn’t really an issue since it’s pretty much a different type of show. It doesn’t TRY to be cohesive yet it handles the story really well. Season 1-2 are more of a layout of the main characters and season 3 is when things really kick off. The main reason why I prefer bcs over bb is because while BB is more cohesive, it also acts as a negative in comparison to bcs since a lot of the impactful moments don’t have nearly as much of a buildup as bcs’s due to the fact that it’s a faster paced show. Take the end of chicanery for example, it took 2 entire seasons of clear buildup between the dynamic of chuck and jimmy for the episode to feel as satisfying as it did. Ozymandias is a 10/10 episode however it could’ve potentially hit EVEN harder if we got to see more laid back moments between Walt and Hank, and that’s something bcs fixes. It focuses a lot more on the characters as opposed to the plot (albeit not by THAT much since both shows do both aspects very well) and as a result the few fast paced/payoff moments hit harder than they otherwise should’ve.
Oh yea also cinematography and visual storytelling is a clear step up from breaking bad. It’s utilized nearly every episode and done to near perfection that gives the show a very distinct feel compared to BB.
I think both shows are masterpieces but I think bcs edges out as a more polished vision
Saul’s first few seasons are way better than Breaking Bad’s first 2
3:05:34 "walt's little gooncave" is WILD
Wow! 3 delightful hours?❤
My king 👑
so here for it.
bro this is actually insane
this is insane
The BeatRice cameo made me so mf happy
Yes I’m going to watch all this video
It’s nice to see another Fly fan, I adored the episode and don’t understand why so many people hate it. It’s just a great character study of our two protagonists from beginning to end. I love slow episodes in much more high stakes shows that throw an innocuous problem at the characters just to see how they react
It's good but does it deserve to be above Ozymandias? No. Simply and objectively no.
I can’t tell how how much of it is jokes and how much as serious. For instance, Hank being upset about being assigned to El Paso isn’t just “for some reason”. It’s because he’s the one who’s been making all the progress on the Heisenberg case and is obsessed with it on top of El Paso being super dangerous. There was one before that where he said it was also for no reason but yeah
Honestly man fantastic video, my only disagreement would be the placement of the finale for breaking bad, I think the finale is top 5 personally

Never heard of Slippin Jimmy until now.
Serious talk for a sec…
This video probably saved my life tbh I was thinking about “stuff” and was about to do it. Then I came across this 🤞
The Beat Rice cameo made me splooge
stunningly beautiful
Omg i died at 1:01:40
The monotone voice at "jesse manages to beat the 50 year old guy with cancer" bravo Vince
FUCK YEAH LETS GO!
these are such quick descriptions of entire episodes and was a really good watch! do you think you’d be able to reorder the episodes to be in chronological order? i think it would work perfectly despite the rankings, thanks for the great video !
If youre after chronological order I would suggest Beat Rice’s videos
A crime in of itself to put Slippin Jimmy in the thumbnail instead of Flynn.
The goat has decided to upload once more
02:44:35 "Oh my God! Oh my God! That was the best ending ever!" Mike Stoklasa on the ending of "Blood Debts." Loved the reference. Subed.
I’m watching this rn. Now. Thanks bud. And the title card switching intro, was Fucking sexy as hell👌🏾
Also. I wonder what series he’s gonna cover next?
Very solid list rank sopranos episodes
idk why you put spyro as bg music sometimes but its perfect
Huge agree on that number 1 pick
Having Beat Rice pop up when i was having the exact thought of Crawlspace being his favorite episode was pretty surreal
Nice job using a Sonic the Hedgehog stage song as the background theme
