Lalo needs his own series. Ruthless, calculating and charismatic, hands down Best ever salamanca.
Laying low with Laylo?
People don’t think things through when they say this. What would his arc even be?
I guess a backstory? What shaped him? His relationship with his cousins etc@@JakeSmith-rv1hm
@@mrneutral8423 what’s… the arc?
He’s from a crime family and became a criminal. That’s not riveting. And he’s not sympathetic in the slightest either.
Let it be
The “worst” Salamanca you mean. 😉
Tuco was brutishly intimidating. Twins were silently intimidating. Hector, before being crippled, was patriarch intimidating. Lalo was intellectually intimidating. Salamanca’s definitely were a mixed bag of interesting characters.
'' Lalo was intellectually intimidating'' and not only that, he had unbelievable physical dexterity like a Xenomorph and that one trick pony plastic smile.

mad family
Lalo is all of them. He's a beast physically and would absolutely destroy Tuco, maybe not both twins but he was essentially the best of every field.
At first i thought Lalo was a psychopath , but Gus fits the bill more ...
The fact that Lalo had an easy escape route during the raid, thought about it for a second, and decided to go back in and take out the rest of them is just so cold
When he opens it and looks around i knew he was going to do something crazy and not just run away. Bad ass scene
I think it was to cover his tracks. He didnt want the mercenaries to say that he got away so he had to go back.
Everything he did was calculated he used that as a sort of trap got out and behind them and came back to finish them off so they weren’t there later on to get after him. He also wanted the people who called for the hit to think he was dead not get reported back that he escaped.
Problem with that is any paramilitary attacker would never go into the tunnel. Rather, they would search for the exit.
@@blackdoglegyh but they got paid to kill him so it was their only option
Lalo repeating, "Tell me again," in that lower voice, was terrifying 💀
4, 5
Scared the hell out of me. Absolutely terrifying
Lalo always showed to be a very friendly man, but its psychological wisdom to know: If a friendly man turns angry, they turn into the worst monsters éver!
It was easy to piss of Tuco, and he'd go at you like a beast
The Twins were silent assasins; no words, just retribution.
Lalo was the best, and worst of them: Much smarter then his cousins, equally skilled in violence, but Lalo had patience. If Lalo were to run out of patience, he would unleash a fírestorm on his enemies, that would even make Tuco, Marco and Leonel shiver in fear!
Jimmy: “I thought I was going to be swallowing condoms filled with heroin”
Lalo: “Maybe later”
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Seeing Lalo made the power that the Salamancas had, make sense. The twins, Tuco, Hector were all hardcore cartel no doubt, but none had the brains to be running an enormous drug empire. In a franchise with multiple of the best TV villains of all-time, Lalo's presence still stands out.
He's almost a nice guy 😂
Almost. 😂
If you would say hes a good guy, i would say hes a good sociopath🤣
He's a pro at behaving like a nice guy is supposed to.
He is a nice guy. Just don't get in his way, cause he will move through you like you were never there to begin with.
He's a good guy tbh.
Lalo is a cheerful psychopath. He even dies with a smile on his face.
Sociopath
Brilliant profile pic my compliments. One of the greatest Life Magazines front cover photo ever taken . You can almost feel those sincere emotions and tears to this day all these decades ever
He's like a Mexican Joker 🃏 🤣
Joker is portrayed as an incel
More like Mexican Batman the way he disappeared at 6:15
@@macrons593im batman
Mexican negan from walking dead
He reminds me more of Simon from the walking dead
Theory (or not) but I’m willing to bet lalo is one of the soul reasons why eladios cartel is so powerful and why the Salamanca name has such a strong reputation in that world. He’s a psychopath but he’s also a genius. With his head for numbers, his fluidity between Spanish and English, his social skills, his planning, his skills with a gun and his physicality. Eladios love for him is also very telling. Such a great character
I think that was exactly the point of the character`s creation, what you`re saying makes a lot of sense, i mean! i was shocked when he just throws those Ferri`s keys to don Eladio!
It’s “sole” and no. He’s a component for sure, but Hector is clearly the core and you’re assuming there weren’t an entire generation of Salamanca’s in the game with Hector that are no longer with us at this point.
He's definitely not a psychopath, he just had the life he had to adapt to, but did it with intelligence and wit.
@@jakebeck4132 I’d argue that he’s certainly a psychopath, high functioning with a sense of family and loyalty. A person who can become so singularly focused and kill people without flinching or a second thought are psychopathic. He even had a live body double on standby living on his property. He saw people in three categories imo; family, tools or obstacles. Killing the kid, Howard and his body-double cinched what he was for me even if he had an internal code that governed him.
@teddyjackson1902 a psychopath just hurts to hurt, they injure animals and innocent people just for their need to cause pain. Lalo is a Mexican cartel member, he's had to live like this because of who he is, he literally has been brought up knowing no different. Tuco was a sociopath, but none of them are psychopaths.
one of the few characters in the series that actually has an accurate spanish accent
He was actually in a lot of Mexican novellas before Better Call Saul which honestly was the way to go. Wish they did this with the other Salamancas but they did do an excellent job 👌
@CapitanPeso I think besides Hector's spanish every one of them is fine since the twins dont talk. For Tuco I feel like he was to be portrayed as Mexican-American with the way he talks and act.
Speak American!
@@PeterNguyen-di3nzGus is god awful.
The man who can made Gus shit his pants
And gus ONLY won because he admitted to himself that lalo had the skill to win him. He hides the gun because he knew That could happen.
Like inter vs Barcelona, when Mourinho won the Champions. Playing defense and rely in a little bit of luck.
"Te vas a morir."
Bravo, Vince.
1:43 I love this scene for so many reasons but for one big one in particular. When Hector came to talk with Gus, he did it with all his goons and the subtlety and grace of a sledgehammer to the face. Which is fitting, because Hector was a powerful but cranky old man who was try to assert his dominance over Gus. But that was incredibly foolish, because as Gus pointed out making such a scene draws unwanted attention to the Cartel as a whole.
But Lalo? He comes in and he plays the "game" just as well as Gus. To an outside observer this is just a hardworking manager and a appreciative customer having a conversation. Lalo plays to the role and comes to Gus' level but he does so in a way that puts Gus slightly on the back foot. And that makes Lalo seem even more dangerous than Hector because he understands and has mastered subtlety. While Hector came in with the subtlety and skill of a thug with a sledgehammer, Lalo comes at it with skill, speed, and precision like a knife fighter
That's interesting, he does have a knack for subtlety. So much so that I'm a bit confused, was Lalo trying to recruit Gus in a coup against Don Eladio? That's what he meant by getting along too well right?
@@hopoff9968 My read is that he was prodding Gus to see what his reaction would be and tease out his motivation. If Gus showed even a little bit of interest in even temporarily burying the hatchet with the Salamancas to take down Eladio a peg or two, then Gus’ motivator is power. If Gus shows no interest and is “fine with the way things are,” ie he’s fine with continuing to feud with the Salamancas, then his motivation is revenge. Either way Lalo will know how to proceed with Gus going forward
nice points you brought up👍
Beautifully thought out comments my man, I agree with all your points
@@hfar_in_the_sky wow thats actually a very insightful comment!
you go "blablabla"...... and they walk outta there... I mean its amazing !! 😁
“They wheeled out actually”…. Awkward silence
Did anyone notice how Lalo was testing Nacho's intelligence with that meal? By Nacho not taking it; he passed. Then Lalo knew that Nacho's reliable.
have you noticed lalo is suppose to be macbeth? he even has his lack of sleep.
I didn't notice that
@@possibear Who is MacBeth?
@@krissifadwa the Shakespeare play
He was also testing Gus by saying they couldn’t be too friendly or the boss wouldn’t like it. Then he played it off like he was joking. Such incredible acting!
The unsettling reality is that individuals like Lalo exist in real life-charming, always smiling, cracking jokes, and seemingly friendly, yet lacking a moral compass. They would do anything for their own benefit, though extreme actions like killing might be rare. Nonetheless, they can be ruthlessly opportunistic. In real life, they often become politicians, lawyers, marketers, and religious leaders.
Charles Schwab ova here😂
"psychopath" would've saved you a few words, but yeah pretty much XD
I think I was married to a guy like that. master manipulators all the way. He wasn't nearly as good looking as Lalo though. 😁😁😎😎
@@crazyaces4042lmao
That dude from cali with all his retail stores is a clear example
Tony Dalton is a national treasure.
The guy that played Lalo was a damn good actor.
I’ve seen someone like Lalo before. Can’t say for certain if they were psychopath or not but they sure did act like one. They were very personable and friendly, always smiling, and they ended up charming a lot of those they interacted with. But something was just off. It felt so performative and hollow, like there’s nothing behind their eyes. Then you’d see them act not so friendly. They would partake in behavior that would bring harm to themselves and others. You’d realize they only act pleasant and friendly to manipulate people. And that they knew how to read you much better than you knew how to read them, and they would use that knowledge to their every advantage. They’re relationships with others were just as hollow as they are. They did whatever they want, simply because they could. And it’s fucking terrifying to watch in action.
That being said I adore Lalo as a character. As scary as people like him are they are just as fascinating. Tony Dalton nailed this character completely.
Your description of this person sounds like a textbook psychopath.
@@jupiterrising887indeed
Cluster B Personality Disorders (includes psychopaths) are an interesting study (preferably from a distance). You've spotted your first one, look into the rest it could save you a lot of problems in your life, could even save your life.
It figures he would’ve been the one that gave him that damn bell.
oh that bell. AGH drove me crazy. LOL I've watched this series over and over so I skip the bell as much as possible. 😂😂
@@crazyaces4042that bell alsoDRIVES ME CRAZZYY
I also think the director purposely made it so annoying. I’m pretty sure it’s for us to feel like Hector. He’s stuck in a crippled body and not being able to communicate.
I love this eyes tic of Jimmy at 8:30, when he realized it wasn't necessarily a joke. 😆
Lalo is terrifying 😂
Funny cuz it’s my dads nickname/name 😭💀
I love Lalo so much. He's like an evil, Mexican, Sherlock Holmes. Had a blast whenever he was on screen.
If Nacho have only Lalo as his boss, he will still be alive, and possibly lalo too. Lalo was as ruthless as Hector and Tuco but he was a good boss if you watch all their interactions
Nacho’s dad ruined everything , if he ran in another city and listened to his son , Nacho would not be forced to work under gus and he could’ve continued the cartel life under a « good » leader.
@@Kira-xk2rf yeah it was all nachos dads fault. He was such a terrible person and violent criminal, while his son was such a well behaved boy who never got involved with any bad people
@@MrSp3ctre lmao so funny smartass , nacho was already dipped into the cartel life , he can’t go backwards so the best decision his dad could’ve made is to run , i know he have pride and a good heart but sometimes you have to make hard decisions for the best
@@Kira-xk2rfexactly
Lmao what the hell is this victim blaming
Lalo is fine as wine!
We need a "better not call Lalo" spinoff from the spinoff 😅
"Better swallow Lalo"
He’s electric in every scene he’s in haha
Very interesting that throughout better call Saul all of Lalos kills are shown off screen to give off the illusion that hes not even that bad especially compared to the other villains in the brba verse until it’s finally shown at the end with Howard no more deception that’s who Lalo truly was and is
Never seen someone say so many things that are not at all what he means and yet be understood so well anyway. 😂
i think Saul knew exactly he was in over his head as soon as Lalo had the 8k ON HIM 😂
Lalo casually chit chatting while slowly screwing on a supressor lol.
Bro, I just finished watching the entire series and just realized at this moment that the open sign was turned around 6:21
Lalo must really love this song. He was humming this song to himself when he first met jimmy
I love this when Lalo say "Tell me again", and this sound is coming with words "again"
You knew he was going to be awesome when within the first 30 seconds of his introduction he threatend and told Nacho he was going to die in the most amusing and friendly way possible.
Stand up, palms out, "You're the guy for this." It never gets old.
Bro climbed in the ceiling in 3 seconds flat 💀
Silently too lmfao
Thanks for these vids man, love em, keep up the good stuff.
loved this guy ❤
Lalo was so 'innocent' in the first scene 😂
I always wanted an uncle like Lalo Salamanca
This guy was Smooth Criminal. I always wondered if he is so smooth in real life. Thats an amazing trait ❤️
The only real mistake Nacho made was turning down that delicious meal from Lalo at the beginning.
“You wouldn’t get it” 🏠 🔥 🛎️
Deadly charm.
I was rooting for him that’s how good he was
Hector was the force to be reckoned with because at the end of the day he was the one who was truly in charge of the Salamanca family, even when he was crippled by the stroke. The fact that with just one look he could get every Salamanca soldier and even worse any of his nephews to do whatever he wanted (all 4 who were 100% devoted to him, specially Lalo who was the most capable and dangerous) says it all.
The creators wanted Tony Dalton to play Lalo as a more thinking version of Hector and the twins combined, but he convinced them that the version we got would be more likeable and also more terrifying af the same time. Thank God they listened! The crazy thing is that despite everything, if Lalo offered me a job I'd probably work for him 😃😃😃
He really does seem related to Tuco. The cadence of their speech sells it
Maybe later,😂😂😂
It's a joke, but a threat, Power move.
What a beautiful character,
💯 🔥 Writing
💯💯🔥🔥🔥 Acting
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Lalo and varga Should have thier own series
11:11 Lalo's laugh 😅😂
its the same scene as from the joker film basically.
its even a joker laugh.
I appreciate the long video, well done!
The slide out of the booth got me lol
Gus was the villain and Lalo was the antihero.
Ah yes Lalo is such an antihero for murdering Howard, Fred and all those other innocent blokes
@@MrSp3ctre hence the Anti.
@@LoganLS0 I don’t think you understand what anti hero means. Anti hero is someone who has negative characteristics but ultimately good intentions. Lalo is just straight up evil.
@@MrSp3ctre anti hero is the best of a bunch of bad options.
@@LoganLS0 what?? lalo is not an antihero not even close
great!
Lalo killing Howard is one of those OMG moments on TV. The show had you hating Howard because he came across as the posh, stuck-up lawyer that screwed Jimmy, but in the end, he did nothing but try to help him, particularly when his own brother didn't support his law career. When Lalo killed Howard, you had to feel for the dude considering what Jimmy and Kim did to him earlier that day.
Lalo did come as a terror to Jimmy's house
Slight jim carrey vibe.😂
I gotta feeling they will revisit this universe to make a Lalo show. He’s too likable and vicious. He’s fascinating.
Lalo: te has puesto a pensar que a don eladio le gusta esta mala leche entre nosotros?
Gustavo: no considero que masjighdsxjasd leche
Great guy
It would be a delight to see anton chigurh and lalo together
The most legitimate way to describe tuco “he has a huge heart and a serious passion for justice “
If you can love a villain then Lalo is your man. Great acting for sure
Pinche viejo loco....love him.....
I might make his taco that he made in the instruction video. Feel like Mexican food after that intro lol
Saul: What's so funny?
Lalo: Ahhh, you wouldn't get it.
Saul: Okay *transforms into Kim Wexler*
One 0f my fav scenes in bb&bcs universe
I can't tell if Lalo was amused or offended when Jimmy said he saw the family resemblance with him and Tuco xD
Lalo, the talented man
The great ✊💪
just when you thought you couldn't have a more passive aggressive character then tuco, lalo comes along
There wasn't a whole heap of passivity in Tucos aggressiveness tbh
Tuco isn’t passive aggressive, he’s aggressive aggressive
I wonder in a what if universe .. what if lalo lived into the breaking bad timelime and somehow threatened walts family instead
"maybe later" and that look on Sauls face :D
I wish someone would do an edit of this show without the conflict with the lawyers and Saul's brother. Just Saul and the underworld.
Somehow the Salamancas are all psychopaths, but he definitely takes the cake.
Smuggling Mexicans to US, the twins would have killed and burnt the entire truck. But lalo was considerate to give them other chance by returning their money.
Lalo still haunts me sometimes 😢
you gotta admit he was the best looking Salamanca by far! And the smile.. omg a charmer from way back. Too bad he was CRAZY! 🤣🤣
Do you think Lalo sees Kim and Jimmy the same way the audience sees the Kettlemens?
I HATE the scene at travel wire where Lalo just glitches into the ceiling. Why couldn’t they have just placed a ladder or something? Make it seem like maintenance or whatever left it there. But instead, they have to make it so Lalo is gifted with supernatural powers. Really took away from the realism of the show.
It's also a bit ridiculous that he decides icing a civie was a good idea, this ain't Mexico bro
This is a great fucking video. Especially 16:40 from here
6:37 was when I was like “holy shit this guy has powers”
He died smiling because he and Hector were right all a long. I really need to finish this series before i ruin too many good spoilers. I think its too late though.
No lie , I bet Lalo makes some bomb ass food
The one guy who actually speaks Spanish!
that ehh about the pee was perfect lmao
Lmao lalo heard gus speaking 6 words of spanish and immediately switched back to English 😂
Oh My Lalo's Cooking makes me hungry
The way Gustavo is intimidated speaks for itself. Even the fact he kills him he know he was extremely lucky to have done so. Perfect villain: Lalo.
Imagine if Eduardo lasted until Breaking Bad to be an enemy to Walter and Jesse?
That character is very undercurrent with threats. His character is clever
Lalo is a badass
At 11:12, I'm like, "Oh." Now I know why I better call Saul. Saul Good, yo.
Behind Lalo's smile and friendly demeanor lies a ruthless and violent man always calculating his next move and mistrustful of everyone including his own blood.
Not that hard to see through tbh, his friendliness is very phoney
The thing is - Lalo can see the humor in everything. The last thing he does before he dies - is laugh.
.
Lalo is archetypal Shakesperean "smiling villain".
A Lalo series where you cant fear his death ,but the drama comes from worry for his allies and enemies deaths
Vaas came a long way from Ubisoft, now hanging around the cartel..
so accurate of a real mexican narco😂 💯
