Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in the world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.
Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

His performance is certainly up to Pollos standards.
his Spanish? not so much.
It is...acceptable.
This is so Fring...@@rorylynch7775
He is the pollos
He is Pollos standards.
"I don't think we're alike at all Mr White."
The power in that statement
I love that line he really brought Walt back down to earth and crushed his ego
If you think about it, it really hurt Gus’s ego more. He was dead set on not revealing himself, but as soon as Walt compares him to himself, Gus immediately reveals himself. Everyone in this universe has an ego. Obviously, Walt’s is the most intense, but Gus has an ego too.
❤well said and well OBSERVED

Cluster B Personality Disorders, they are called Cluster because they very rarely are just one. Most are Co-Morbid Narcissistic Personality Disordered.
It's not Ego, Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a Sub-Type of Psychopathology, NPD coupled with another Cluster B is what makes these people dangerous.
NPD is the most dangerous of them all, throw Antisocial or Borderline Personality Disorder alongside Narcissistic Personality Disorder and you have a real life monster.
@@Asofia20you forgot "Bravo Vince!"
I like to imagine Lalo’s compliments on Gus’s chicken was actually legitimate and that everyone agrees Gue’s chicken is actually pretty good
I'd *kill* to try his chicken, haha
@@victorochoa3662you're too old to be talking like this
@@mikemorris9902 yes
I think it's both. Can you imagine Gus presiding over a mediocre chicken restaurant? Nor can I.
Gus settles for nothing but perfection. It’s why he went against his gut and worked with Walt. Gale told him his product was the best he’s ever seen and he wanted the best.
I love the misleading toys laying around, and his subtle reference to kids not eating the soup. It took me a few watches to notice the subtle hints at manipulating Walt. When Jesse comes for dinner with Gus, I don’t see them anymore. Makes me imagine Gus has a prop library down in his secret basement tunnel lair.
The other possibility is that his backstory wasn’t fully fleshed out and he was initially written as a family man with kids
@@zizoumonk10 Im confident it was intentional and planned by that point. Its very clear how deep he goes to manipulate people. When they made Season 2 Gus wasnt guaranteed to end up as a main antagonist/character for the future so they likely didnt have anything planned there. But Season 3 they definitely had a very good idea what they wanted to do with the character. They planted many threads in Season 3 for Gus' character to expand on them in Season 4 (his dynamic with Hector and the Salamancas, Hector calling him Generalissimo, etc.). Looking closely every toy seems strangely perfectly placed.
I'm pretty sure Gus would be the kind of mastermind to marry and have kids just to keep up appearances.

Eventually tho, his wife would have found out and left him, just like Skylar. You can only lie and keep the truth for so long.
To think that Hank suspected this guy as a Drug Kingpin. Just look at how polite he is at dealing with regular or bad people.
dealing with regular peoples definitely a red flag 🚩🚩🚩
I don’t think him being polite to bad people is a red flag. It’s how long he sticks with them and even sits with them that is a red flag.
@@zalamazuNah its a red flag alright
Normal ppl wont even try or would act more like the girl waitress...either ignore them/call the police
@@kiro253 Some people who act "too nice" are genuinely good people. Of course, general suspicion of one's character because of a gut feeling isn't wrong and you have the right to be curious, but it's not a good idea to jump to conclusions if you're in the position of stranger. Especially not a good idea to call the police on someone who's... being nice? (Not really talking about Gus here, just general strangers you come across.)
Also want to add that if you feel like a polite person is secretly horrible, don't investigate and invade their privacy. Because even if you happen to be right about them, you'll still be in the wrong for, y'know, invading someone's privacy.
4:25 Name Name has to be my favorite episode of all time. I love Name Name.
Gotta say Name Name is a great name name for an episode.
People always say Chicanery or Bagman as their Favourite BCS episode, but I'm more of a Name Name guy myself

at least it's not Lorem Ipsum 😂
A wise man once said "be polite, be efficient, have a plan to kill everyone you meet"

@@UATU. no. It’s a quote by General James N Mattis, United States Marine and former Secretary of Defense.
@@shadowresponder 👍
Wise? Sounds more sociopathic.
It's very cool that I actually discover the source because I recognize it form TF2@@shadowresponder
I know the dinner was intended as a gesture of respect, but I always viewed 7:36 as the greatest symbol of it. "Not only do I trust you enough to invite you into my home, but I trust you enough to give you the perfect opportunity to kill me."
Knowing what we know from BCS, that the house is part of a large security complex, I wouldn't doubt that there were men with guns just around the corner
@@aznanimegob True! I imagine that Gus would have been able to stop Walt even if he tried anything at that point anyway. I think it's a pretty powerful manipulation nonetheless
It was a message ‘I didn’t bring you here to kill you so don’t do anything stupid’
1:20 The twins have Gus so rattled that he tries to sign whatever's on that clipboard using a pen that is upside-down and has the cap on 🤣
I think he realized that as well lol.
Oohh good eye
Animals
The pen was on the right side up. The cap was only slipped-on at the other end of the pen.
@@vinzchannel01idk I slowed it down and zoomed in it looks like a flat white end with no nub, also the coloration of the pen would indicate it’s upside down, that coloured spot is the grip.
9:31
Walt: it won't change my mind 😒
Gus: 3M
Walt: 👁👄👁
Three mHiLLiOn?
"I am not a criminal." Yes you are, Walter. lol He already killed someone, held someone else captive and then killed him, manufactured a huge amount of an illegal drug, stole equipment from the school, etc. And that's all before Season 3 and the rest of the show.
With all the jobs I've quit in my life, I would have changed my mind with that amount of money ;)
4:07 Gus took that as an insult and broke his character..❤️
Yeah love how he exposed himself cause he was offended Walt call them “alike” 😂😂😂
The one mistake that let to his downfall.
If he had stuck to his line, he would have continued to be successful.
@@Robert-cd2ox so true
Giancarlo Esposito played this role so well. Amazing performance
Gus had amazing class and impeccable manners while at the same time, managed to not overdo it to the point of appearing fake.
👍
Imagine working at a place where strange men are always showing up and the manager never wants to involve the police? Word would spread fast.
Most owners don't wish to contact the police unless absolutely necessary. Even the non drug kingpin owners, as constant police presence causes certain stereotypes about the business. The only time Gus got frustrated with the Salamancas showing up was when Hector came in causing problems. Lalo was extremely polite and seemed like a normal person. The cousins simply just sat there being weird. Seeing as how much Gus invests into the local community and by extension the local PD and DEA members, it would just seem that he doesn't want to waste police time with manners he can handle on his own.
People may just assume they are there to collect "protection money"
a lot of businesses will fire you for contacting the police without their approval in all but basically an active shooter scenario. its actually quite standard
4:13 if Gus were not the guy, he would think Walt was mistaking him from someone he met on a gay app
😂😂
Given that he's canonically gay, yes lol
Did Grindr exist back then? 2004 ish? 09?
Lalo was the only Salamanca who ate at his restaurant
Walt had a soft drink of choice
Hector didn't eat but he did have a drink when he held up the place in season 3 of better call Saul
@@orianultimerVery allegorical
@@gautam-narula the sacred and the propane
I like to think he was being genuine when he was complimenting the chicken.
Knowing who Gus is, and what he was capable of, his politeness is pretty terrifying. Such a great character, just like everyone in the BB and BCS universe.
One of the best TV villains of the past 10 years, no doubt about it.
Him AND Walter, technically.
Walter is an antihero @@andrelavandero3041
❤agreed 100%
@@andrelavandero3041 Walter is an anti-hero
@@dr.daredvil612 LOL no he is a villain. he can be a protagonist and a villain
I love how everyone is like super serious when dealing with Gus, and then we see Lalo who is totally chill and jolly…
I know I love it. Most people that do know Gus know what he is capable of and it’s terrifying to them. And Lalo knows what he is capable of and just does not care because Lalo knows what he is capable of
4:24 "Name Name", my favourite episode of Better Call Saul
I don't necessarily think it was his politeness that was disturbing or so scary. It was his uncanny ability to turn it on and off at a moment's notice pending the situation that he was in. He used it as a partial cover up and a partial way to get into the heads of his enemies.
The disgust face Gus does when Walter compare himself to he always break me lol
- Do it... DO. IT.
Absolutely love the way he says it
He went full Palpatine
Dewit
7:46 foreshadowing to that one scene in the final season
Excellent catch
No
Everyone has a "tell all" movement, like a poker player with cards. Gus's "tell" is perfectly shown at 4:04. Its his forehead, turning from creased to completely smooth. Someone said it was his eyebrows going from up to down but at 10:27 his eyebrows are up but his forehead is still smooth which is him still being on killer mode.
I love how in virtually all of these interactions each person know it’s all theatre
Well yeah we get to see the main cast interact with him because they know what he's about. Imagine all of his daily interactions off-screen with the unsuspecting population, even the entire DEA believes he's just a junkfood owner. There's also the scene where Saul accidentally meets Gus, and Saul doesn't suspect anything
It’s SCARY how GREAT he is at being two faced! His cold blooded look is DIFFERENT than him just being casual. I don’t know if he came up with that look, or the director, but it gives me CHILLS every time!
This was the compilation where Gus became polite.
Bravo Vince!
Please let this meme die. It's not amusing anymore
This is the moment @jonbourgoin182 wanted to let the meme die...truly one of the moments of all time....Bravo Vince!
@@jonbourgoin182eh give it time they'll have jobs soon enough, maybe midwest 6 wives to occupy them
Lmao this one killed me @@kidnamedfinguh
4:20 that tone changes, chill you to the bone.
7:21 "Kids won't eat it...but you know how it is" hahaha with the toys in the dining room 🤣😂
There’s absolutely nothing disturbing about Gus’ politeness. I find him to be extremely professional and well-mannered. The people calling his politeness disturbing should be ashamed of themselves, I can’t imagine him hurting a fly! 😤
Well he's a good friend of the DEA after all. A real pillar of the business community!
6:10 I love this little detail that gus is trying to bring Walt jr closer to him so that he can use him as leverage against Walt
Gus Fring is the reason I am even more skeptical of overly nice people lol
Your comment is so wonderful and insightful. Thank you very much for taking the time for that intuitive wisdom
Most people people who are “overly” nice are not manipulative, they just have CPSTD lol
Walt ruined Jrs job prospect. Gus would have probably pushed him up the pyramid fast.
Wait why is it a pyramid?
6:53 - just noticed: why the f there is a toy car and kids table in Gus' dining room?
Maybe to emotionally manipulate Walt, a family man
What kind of "Gus' Disturbing Politeness" compilation omits "And a man ... a man provides"? No compilation. No compilation at all.
What a SICK JOKE!
god damnit, such a well written show and so well acted holy crap, you just dont see something like this anymore.
The sudden change of tone is so eerie
absolutley stunning preformace by Giancarlo, a complete icon and inspiration
Gus carried this show. There is no breaking bad without Gus!
Giancarlo Esposito is a better actor than most of the A-listers in Hollywood
Ive wanted a video like this, without knowing exactly what i wanted.
His excessive politiness is unnerving
5:27 how could you cut Nacho's perfect reaction? D:
😂
4:26 my favorite episode of better call saul: NAME NAME
1:16 That subtle death stare has death incarnate written all over it. With the two cousins its far more pronounced yet with Gus its so subtle and 10x more intimidating.
6:32 re-watching this scene after "Better Call Saul" remembering there is a secret entrance tunnel to the house opposite of Gus lol. And that their guys watching on camera to make sure happens to Gus because Walter might do something.
He could literally live off pollos hermanos easily
Yeah, but then how could he get revenge on Eladio and Hector for Max’s death?
@@fissilewhistle let alone get out of their grip once he dips inside the business
it ain't about the money
I just binged the Sopranos, and Tony didn't have the makings of a varsity Los Pollos manager...he would have loved the chicken though.
I mean, in a way, one of the core themes of The Sopranos is that Tony's attitude of "macho big boss guy" ("strong silent type" as the show puts it) is losing relevance, both in his life and in society. He grew up with an idea of what a head of a family (both a mob "family" and a domestic family) should look like. Gus Fring is kind of the antithesis - he doesn't have any actual family (on-screen at least), prefers to hide in plain daylight (his cover operation is not a seedy nightclub, but a family-friendly fast food chain), effects an affable persona, doesn't flaunt his power openly, and seems to require no external validation of who he is other than the sheer, cold success of his operation.
And while Tony mostly employs people either because they're long-time associates, Gus hires people because he thinks they're competent and sufficiently trustworthy (Mike being the best example, and his doubts abut Walter confirming that hiring him wasn't exactly something he did lightly). Then again, Tony is just harvesting money, he doesn't need to run a business. He just needs to stay out of the authorities' and other families' face while his guys squeeze money out of people. Gus is running what is essentially a highly complex (and technologically sophisticated) illegal enterprise, so he probably has need for actual talent.
@4:25 that look when you have had enough of the salamanca clan but they just keep comin back
Giancarlo Esposito put on an acting clinic played this role flawlessly,
Giancarlo's delivery on "Do it" 👁
I'd work for him
He is more scary than Dark Vader or the Easter Bunny 😮
Interesting to consider that had his standards of perfection not been so extreme he likely would’ve listened to his warning signs to avoid Walter and just had Gale learn the product from Jesse. It still would have been better than what they were doing but he would’ve driven himself nuts always knowing that even if it was better than before they’d never truly master perfection of the best product unless the process was handed down from Walt and his standards that matched those of Gus. The chase of that feeling would be no financial difference between Jesse or Walt but the standards negate that and led to so many problems. Bypassing concerns for the product in general had to have been lucrative to accept the concerns but still fun to ponder that working to bring Walter in was likely the need to meet the highest level of standards possible over being financially motivated since Jesse probably would’ve gotten to the same monetary result.
The man doesn't want anyone or anything to affect his life!
This is the moment 4:30 Meeting Lalo became Name Name
Damn hank, Lalo, Walter, Hector, nacho, and Salamanca twins have all interacted with him inside his pollos business cool to see
2:08 the way his face shifts from “Friendly” to “Business” is so good
I think its funny that the twins sit side by side to each other at Pollos Hermanos.
he's like that one coffee bean that makes my nerve tingle
I love Gus's versatility, the guy looks like. the nicest person you know and at the same time can make a scary face
I like how he wrote with the back of the pen 😂.
What do a chemistry teacher and a fast food restaurant manager have in common?
-Nothing
You have to do a compilation of Lalo being cheerful and nice next because we all know Lalo and Gus both had these FAKE pleasant personalities Lalos real self came out when he killed the couple especially the guy who looked similar to him you can see Lalos fake smile finally going away
The way Gus smiles with politeness and when the person is gone, his expression suddenly changes. Like from this😄 to this😒
"May I take your hat sir"
i just want to try pollos ONCE.
4:24 episode Name of season Name is truly the best one across the series no doubt
I think it's funny that there must've been Karen customers demanding to speak to the manager at Pollos Hermanos, not realising how much mortal danger they are putting themselves into.
Giancarlo Esposito - dude!
10:24 Enjoy your meal
enjoy your meal
When you have max disposition with a NPC in Oblivion
HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE HIGH ELVES MR WHITE
What made Gus terrifying is his calm politeness. Notice the best villains in movies and TV shows are like this. Calm, very little emotions, very few words (all carefully chosen), professional and no emotional outbursts.
I'm really glad I watched the show before Gus became a meme. The twist of the unassuming extra being the menacing crime lord Walt's looking for is too good.
This man shouldn’t be my icon but he is
Gus’ voice is light when he has his mask on but absolutely terrifying and flat when he’s not wearing it
5:27 Gus:(Are you kidding me Nacho?)
Nacho:(Not my fault he's like this.)
One of the luckiest extra alive ladies and gentlemen: CYNTHIA ❤🎉
At this point in the series no one ever expected that Fring had a tunnel under his home connecting to the house across the street or that the fake toy kids truck was just a prop
this was the moment hector said ring ring
The moment one of the twins would later lose his legs and the other gets his head blown off
If Walter is an anti-hero, is Gus an anti-villain?
I would love to work for a man like Gus Fring...be that at Los Pollos or his other line of work.
Nah, just full blown villain. He just had a good job hiding it.
Those 2 mexican assassins in the restaurant DO NOT BLINK.🙃 ever.
The look Gus give Nacho is so friggen perfect. Its like "really? This jack @ss?" And followed up by Nachos shrug
The actor does a great performance as Gus Fring!!!
1:16 my manager’s answer whenever I tell him about about customer’s trashing the place, not following the rules and policies, or trying to hurt and rob us.
I'm a native Spanish speaker and the only thing that bothered me is that his Spanish is so bad that he has no idea what he's saying. He sounds like somebody gave him the syllables to say.
2:20 that ding.. ding.. ding on the background
Yeah that the right way to say ,,,disturbing politeness
Why be rude in that line of work?
There really is no room for it, despite its prevalence.
Rudeness just gives credence to a false "authority".
Noone in the real world would accept someone like Tuco.
His own family would take him out before his 12th birthday.
Theft error
My favorite episode was always Name Name
One of the best Villains in History
Gus has a Grinch smile

I think he was baiting him with the offer of 3 million. He wanted to see how he would react and he fell for the bait. Regardless of his answer, he knew what kind of man he was.

That was probably an intentional thing just like terrible Italian in The Sopranos by the people in Newark. but it's flawless with the actual italians
