Chuck develops this "electricity sensitivity" psychological disorder after divorce. Jimmy turns into full-time Saul Goodman after divorce. These brothers have the worst break up coping mechanisms.
They don't come out and say exactly why they divorced, but this scene makes it clear that Chuck is unable to be honest to Rebecca about his problems, so he shuts her out and reacts in ways that seem completely bizarre to her. Jimmy really tried to show him that he could choose to be better, but Chuck couldn't let go of his fucked up pride.
There's also a hint of Chuck being oversensitive and having to be right in this scene. Although Jimmy mentioned that Chuck's "hypersensitivity to electricity" appeared around the same time they divorced, Rebecca's presence didn't stop Chuck from experiencing his "symptoms". I often wonder if Rebecca's passion to her music and travel factored in the divorce if Chuck's passion in law prevented her from following hers.
@@BhBc8f8 Chuck is the kind of person to feel a need to always be in control of themselves and maintain an image. If Rebecca knew he lost complete control of himself he thinks she would think less of him. He still wants her love and respect, not pity. They are still in love with each other.
Jimmy was kind of on the edge about everything but his love for his brother. Which is why it ultimately broke him. He unconditionally loved him and went out of his way for Chuck constantly
@@123shade123 because Jimmy always resorted to being Jimmy and Howard knew it. Even after becoming a lawyer he was breaking ethical rules when retaining clients in the Sandpiper case. Chuck knew what he was doing. And HHM is Howard’s office. His baby. He’s just going to let Jimmy waltz in knowing his propensity for shady behavior and destroying whatever he touches? Really??
It's hilarious how oblivious Rebecca is. Jimmy is literally screaming her name in a panic in her ear, and she just holds her finger out at him. And Chuck is flailing around in front of her at his sink.
@@Infamous_Val_05 It's not, it's closer to a schizophrenic breakdown. But since Chuck's ego is too big to admit he's unwell, to Rebecca he just looked like he was throwing a tantrum. Judging by Chuck's later tantrum breakdown in the courtroom, which btw was not triggered by electricity at all, it's safe to say that his psychosis is more of a coping mechanism his mind created to apologize for his ego.
Subtle detail but when Rebecca says she can’t believe Jimmy is a lawyer and how responsible he is, Chuck only agreed he can’t believe he’s a lawyer either and then he’s got his own thing running. This points to that final conversation between Chuck and jimmy
It's like when Jimmy first showed Chuck he passed the bar, Chuck's first words were, "Is this a joke?" Jimmy first took this to mean he was proud, not realizing that it was most certainly in a negative connotation.
@@IamCanadian3333 Contrast to Marco. "Holy crap, Slippin Jimmys a lawyer. No wonder you wanna go back, you gotta be king of the desert driving round town in a white caddy making bank". He though he was ripping off old people but the second Jimmy told him he was legit, Marco believed him and immediately assumed he was successful.
Yeah and my first date which was exactly a week ago and I'm 22, she pulled her phone out and said sorry she's expecting a text from her boss about if she worked at a certain time. I said it's all fine. Not grab it and "Chuck" it out of her hand lol.
@@goldengoodra2941 Same here, honestly it makes me super uncomfortable to do, especially say I’m in any 1on1 situation. Uber, out eating, and so on. Although I don’t find it too rude, say there’s a group hanging out. Say like watching fights. I hope I don’t hold it against others though, as it’s just part of the society im in today. As it’s not just the individuals decision, it’s the ones contacting them too, be it work, medical stuff, a friend/family thing.
@@goldengoodra2941 It's in fact worse today than it was twenty years ago. At least back then people would answer their phones for an urgent call, not to watch TikTok.
because his condition isn't about electricity. Every time he has a crisis it's because something is making him insecure. He can tolerate the presence of electricity when he's scheming. But add something that gnaws at his confidence at the same time and boom. Instant crisis. When he (SPOILERS) . . . had that final crisis that ended up with his house on fire, he had removed every possible source of electricity, and still he couldn't be at ease. It was the exchange he had had with Jimmy. He couldn't face the fact that Jimmy still cared for him and could possibily be a good person, and that thought broke him.
She's his ex. With all we've seen of Chuck, I'm sure the months or years leading up to the divorce saw plenty of bizarre behavior if not scenes making a big deal out of something insignificant. So she sees "There he goes again" instead of "something's really wrong."
You know it's hard when you love someone that should love you back and they don't. Siblings are the worst. They know your strength's and weaknesses. They know what cuts you. Jimmy only did what he knew how to do to make Chuck proud of him. All Chuck ever did was push him back down. An angry brother over parents that loved Jimmy more than Chuck. There was no love or respect of Jimmy just a tolerance. In the end it ultimately left Jimmy dead inside. We ended up with Saul Goodman, but Jimmy died with Chuck.
i would usually agree with you but considering what Jimmy did in Davis and Main it's clear that he would never really be able to change from the get-go. Charles did the right thing by not allowing Jimmy to work for HHM because he would just cause one disaster after another.
Pit yourself in chucks shoes too, your brother is a lifelong conman, has been in trouble more than once, and is very insincere. You'd think that he's passed the bar to pull more schemes and cons, which ultimately he really does, he tried to get new clients by scamming them like a year after becoming a lawyer?
Jimmy tried so damn hard to help Chuck. If Chuck would have given in an OUNCE on his hatred and perception of Jimmy, believed even for a second in his capacity for change, the whole BB universe would have been different.
It’s very odd that Chuck never thought to have kids. He’s been married to her for years, yet he divorced her so she could go on with her career. Obviously they had some problems, but they really cared for one another. Not having kids would mean time off work, and obviously he would never stand for that. I also have a hunch is that he feared the kid would love Jimmy more than him. Chuck though couldn’t change, or stand the fact Jimmy became a lawyer and thus Chucks condition actually started. His betrayal of Jimmy when denied to work as a lawyer at his firm was straw that broke the camels back for his mental health. Not being able to change, or come to terms with your issues can cost you everything, and Chuck is a victim of his inability to change. Ironic the more you think about Breaking bad as a whole. It was about Walters change, and we all thought it would be the same for this show, but it isn’t. It is not about change, it’s what happens when Nothing changes. Absolutely brilliant show.
"He'll never change, he'll NEVER change!" ~ Chuck shouted about Jimmy during his court breakdown Chuck was so critical of his brother never being able/willing to change (and I do agree that Jimmy should change certain things about himself) that he didn't look at himself in the mirror and realize that he, too, also needed to make changes.
By saying this you are doing what every opponent of Walter White did - underestimating him. He is not just some highschool chemistry teacher, he is extremely overqualified chemistry teacher, probably close to genius IQ lvl. He could have been a billionaire if not for his ego issues.
Watching Jimmy in this scene brakes my heart, he knows that his brother hates him and still having the emotions to take care about him. Hopefully, we seeing happy ending for ( Jimmy, Saul, Gene )
Yeah this is supposed to be way before he finds out Chuck was working against him. But he still did help Chuck a couple times, after finding out. In a way I know how it feels to know your brother dislikes you. My brother absolutely refuses to be in my life, or speak to me. I feel as though he hates me. But, if he called needing my help, I would still be there for him. Because family means everything to me. It always has.
More like bittersweet ending We need for Saul, his Saul reputation is tarnished just like Howard’s. So I don’t know what sad thing will be coming for Saul.
This show really illustrates the two endings for narcissists or people with npd face. 1.They either get some sort of help or self awareness that allows them to see they are the reason for all the declines in their life and change or 2. Push everyone away with manipulations designed to inflate their ego until they are alone in the end
@@ClintonKE instead of admitting he was wrong about Jimmy he tried to burn him to the ground, which in turn burned himself and in the end helped push Jimmy further down that path. Jimmy was no saint but if Chuck had admitted at least to himself he might be wrong things probably would have been better for both
It's weird that in this scene Chuck actually seems to show some pride in Jimmy being a lawyer. I wonder if some of his anger/frustration from the collapse of his relationship with Rebecca was instead channelled towards Jimmy as he was the easiest target, whom he already had some contempt for
Something I've noticed is how differently chuck and Rebecca are talking about jimmy becoming a lawyer. Rebecca's "I still can't get over jimmy being a lawyer," practically comes with an unspoken "good for him" at the end. Meanwhile chuck is speaking from complete contempt.
To be in Jimmy's shoes in this scene would be the most uncomfortable, He knows whats the right thing to do here and tell Reb the truth but he is bound by the respect for his brother even though he is seeing everything's falling apart right infront of him
Small detail but when Rebecca comments on the house being the same all I could think of was Chuck telling Jimmy he’ll never change. Sounds kind of self reflective seeing as Chuck is the one is failing to change or move on.
I just realise a lot of the problems between Chuck and Jimmy's relationship could have been solved if both people were just honest and direct about how they feel. Chuck was never vulnerable about how he felt less loved by his parents than Jimmy. He never shared how upset he was with mom's last words in her deathbed. He never opened up to his wife about how he feels insecure and jealous about Jimmy's charisma. Instead he bottled up all his vulnerable feelings, and eventually it manifested into hatred for Jimmy. He used this hatred to make sure Jimmy never reaches the same level as him, which is a well respected lawyer.
That's probably how it goes for most things in life though ... things work out a lot better with complete honesty, but everyone struggles with vulnerability
Chuck is a pleaser the reason he acts this way to please Rebecca is because hes looking for love just like how he looks for love with his mother his mother but she called for Jimmy instead of Chuck so that's why Chuck is jealous and this is what this whole scene stems from!
The irony of Chuck hating Jimmy so much is that his hatred is exactly what fueled Jimmy's descent into full Saul Goodman. If Chuck had just shown a little love and pride towards Jimmy, he 100% would have ended up a normal attorney living a quiet "respectable" life.
That’s definitely a huge part to it. But I think it was also implied in one of the flashback scenes where Jimmy was at his father’s store that he was influenced by seeing how weak his father was.
His problem isn't even a medical condition, it was his choice to live like that. It developed around the time Jimmy got his law degree, so I guess his "condition" is related to his hate towards his brother. Judging by what went on, he was right about Jimmy in a lot of ways, but his attitude was wrong. Older brothers usually play father figure on younger brothers, like what we see in a flashback scene where Charles is reading some book to Jimmy. As an older brother he should have been supportive and smart about his relationship with Jimmy.
@@8461529 Chuck was like a god to Jimmy. If his brother just cared for a second about Jimmy, Saul wouldve never existed. That whole cutting corners thing couldve been avoided if Chuck helped with Jimmys career instead of sabotaging him. Chuck deserved everything
Reminds me of that scene where Kim used the blender and Jimmy’s PTSD kicked in and when asked what happened, Jimmy didn’t tell her shit. Chuck and Jimmy have at least one thing in common: they are both wife liars and they are so shitty at it.
Rebecca says "It's my conductor" when calling. This could mean driver but her phone is a conductor of electricity which Chuck is allergic to. Clever bastards
I just saw a similar wicked piece of foreshadowing in S1 before Chuck calls Hamlin to cut Jimmy out of the Sandpiper case. He has **that lantern** in front of him and sort of shoves the table away from him. It's a gorgeous pre-echo.
What's sad is that Chuck probably wasnt lying when he agreed with Rebecca that he couldn't believe Jimmy was a lawyer but while she felt pride for him Chuck only felt disgust
Yes. They make a point on numerous occasions of demonstrating that he doesn’t notice electronics until he becomes aware of them and they also demonstrate that his perceived physical conditions become worse in response to emotional stress and anxiety rather than any physical cause.
@@adamseidel9780 Also, he thinks he feels it when he's obsessing over the meter, but the numbers don't actually change at all, meaning there was no current in the house.
Yep. In real life medical professionals also have refused to classify this sensitivity to electricity as a real condition and it's offended many people that claim to have it.
He should realize that he was feeling extremely well before knowing about the existence of the cellphone. He should understands that it's in his head.... and seek help
You know that moment when you have to fart so you walk away and release a silent one but the fart is so potent that it lingers enough to everyone smells it. Well it has nothing to do with this scene but I thought I would share my experience today
@@Armor3d0ne I disagree. Being related can mean a LOT depending on the situation. The bond between a parent and their child is considered amongst the strongest but it doesn't require anyone to actually "build" or "work" on it. Your second statement doesn't always hold true.
I wonder how different the BCS universe would be if Jimmy actually told Chuck that he was passionate about law rather than telling him he graduated law all by himself Cause it seems like Chuck relishes on the fact that Jimmy needs him

@@Kevinnnmanriquez Starts after the divorce but his relationship with his brother greatly influences it as time goes on.

The thumbnail is so perfect- it looks like the 'condition' he's trying to hide is a massive fart, lmao
Are you from New Jersey or Chicago?
Has a face like he's about to reenact the diarrhea scene in dumb and dumber lol.
💀💀💀
Imagine living in this generation in Chuck's condition. Oh Boy.
Mentally Ill? Yah people got that covered now lol
@@jeremiahhester6408 bro, it’s a mental illness. It’s not a real physical disease.
@@jeremiahhester6408 sorry, your comment about allergies made me think you didn’t understand.
@@zorinzorinzorin5243 Oh yeah it's ok.
Would be even worse if he’d lived into the smartphone/tablet era… mainly they had flip phones in their time setting
I had no idea Rebecca was Ann Cusack! The older sister of Joan and John! CRAZY!
I'm pretty sure it was John in a wig and makeup. "Ann" is a pseudonym.
I was thinking that she looked familiar!
This is the moment when Rebecca passes the bar
Chuck is a pleaser the reason he acts this way to please Rebecca is because hes looking for love just like how he looks for love with his mother his mother but she called for Jimmy instead of Chuck so that's why Chuck is jealous and this is what this whole scene stems from!
yeah my moms take as well was that its all rooted in the idea that their mother liked Jimmy more than him
The irony of Chuck hating Jimmy so much is that his hatred is exactly what fueled Jimmy's descent into full Saul Goodman. If Chuck had just shown a little love and pride towards Jimmy, he 100% would have ended up a normal attorney living a quiet "respectable" life.
That’s definitely a huge part to it. But I think it was also implied in one of the flashback scenes where Jimmy was at his father’s store that he was influenced by seeing how weak his father was.
I re-watched season 1 of Better Call Saul and Chuck is totally insane. It took me to see the first season twice to get it.
What?
In the thumbnail it looks as if Chuck is having the mother of all constipations.
Or bowel movement.
Like he's defecating through a sunroof.
You gotta really feel for Chuck; Incapable of having a normal life
His choice to be so filled with hate.
He’s an a-hole, so he deserves it.
His problem isn't even a medical condition, it was his choice to live like that. It developed around the time Jimmy got his law degree, so I guess his "condition" is related to his hate towards his brother. Judging by what went on, he was right about Jimmy in a lot of ways, but his attitude was wrong. Older brothers usually play father figure on younger brothers, like what we see in a flashback scene where Charles is reading some book to Jimmy. As an older brother he should have been supportive and smart about his relationship with Jimmy.
@@8461529 Chuck was like a god to Jimmy. If his brother just cared for a second about Jimmy, Saul wouldve never existed. That whole cutting corners thing couldve been avoided if Chuck helped with Jimmys career instead of sabotaging him. Chuck deserved everything
Naaaah... It's all because of his hate towards Jimmy.
Can you upload the other scene where the three are having dinner, and Rebecca is laughing about Jimmy's lawyer jokes?
Reminds me of that scene where Kim used the blender and Jimmy’s PTSD kicked in and when asked what happened, Jimmy didn’t tell her shit.
Chuck and Jimmy have at least one thing in common: they are both wife liars and they are so shitty at it.
They're still better than Walt 😂
ptsd from what
@@landlockedcroat1554 A certain trek through the desert
They are really good liars lmfao.
@@landlockedcroat1554 nearly getting whacked by juan bolsa's thugs
I've never seen someone imitate a rat as well as Chuck in the thumbnail
Maybe Peter Pettigrew
Lol!
All in his head. Chuck wasn't well.
4:10-4:19
Telltale choice:
A: tell her about your condition
B: lie to her
C: tell her you are a homosexual
Imagine someone who has never seen this series watching this scene
Rebecca says "It's my conductor" when calling. This could mean driver but her phone is a conductor of electricity which Chuck is allergic to.
Clever bastards
Driver? She's a professional musician. It's the conductor from an orchestra.
Shit.
french guy spotted ;))
The script is so well done it’s got little nuggets that we can come back to and analyze
@@remi-D flavo glince!
Whats this "HAH" at 0:31
Funny how in the background there's the ELECTRIC LAMP that later burned Chuck's house down, right behind Jimmy on the kitchen counter.
I just saw a similar wicked piece of foreshadowing in S1 before Chuck calls Hamlin to cut Jimmy out of the Sandpiper case. He has **that lantern** in front of him and sort of shoves the table away from him. It's a gorgeous pre-echo.
It’s a gas lamp, that’s the whole reason it burned his house down
@@fort809 I mean, electric stuff can still rely on gas to burn. We have old heaters at my part-time job that work like that :>
It's definitely a gas mantle camping lantern, a classic model with no electrical components.
I hope we get another Chuck / Rebecca scene in the final episodes
"Incredibly bad manners"
bro could have just went to the bathroom for a bit 😭 😭
This is edited so well
Meanwhile Walt was teaching chemistry in high school
Thumbnail looks like he either smelt or dealt one very STANK fart
What's sad is that Chuck probably wasnt lying when he agreed with Rebecca that he couldn't believe Jimmy was a lawyer but while she felt pride for him Chuck only felt disgust
Rebecca was proud of Jimmy, Chuck was embarrassed of him
I didn't notice this before... the look of disappointment on his face when she says how the place hasn't changed one bit.
Just go to the bathroom, a locked room away from the phone for a few minutes
Chuck's "condition" is psychosomatic, right?
Yes. They make a point on numerous occasions of demonstrating that he doesn’t notice electronics until he becomes aware of them and they also demonstrate that his perceived physical conditions become worse in response to emotional stress and anxiety rather than any physical cause.
@@adamseidel9780 Thanks, Adam.
@@adamseidel9780 Also, he thinks he feels it when he's obsessing over the meter, but the numbers don't actually change at all, meaning there was no current in the house.
100% psychosomatic!
Yep. In real life medical professionals also have refused to classify this sensitivity to electricity as a real condition and it's offended many people that claim to have it.
He should realize that he was feeling extremely well before knowing about the existence of the cellphone. He should understands that it's in his head.... and seek help
He looks like a crooked southern preacher and/or sheriff in the thumbnail.
The thumbnail is crazy work 😂
maybe if he told her it could've saved chucks life
His plight really hurts
4:09-4:25 Jimmy said "Say something." not "Say the worst possible response you could give in this situation."
Thumbnail is extremely cursed
I love the comment section! Each and every comment is so full of insights!
Jimmy messed up by not leaving him after season 1 like Rebecca.
Thumbnail pic is Chuck's expression when he learns that Rebecca did not pass the bar
You know that moment when you have to fart so you walk away and release a silent one but the fart is so potent that it lingers enough to everyone smells it. Well it has nothing to do with this scene but I thought I would share my experience today
Man!!! I wish I had a Brother like Jimmy.
Ah, the days when people kept their cellphone far away from them unless it was ringing...
Jimmy is way more intelligent than chuck. Chuck is a robot minus the electricity
Chuck definitely chucked it
turns out , Chuck's " condition " Is In his head -what Irony
Anyone else here have an older or younger brother? The bond you have is one-of-a-kind
Just like mothers have a really strong bond with their daughters
Or their children in general
So clichê. Just being related doesn't mean anything. The strongest bonds are those you build and work on because you want it.
No, you are the only one with a sibling in the world
@@Armor3d0ne I disagree. Being related can mean a LOT depending on the situation.
The bond between a parent and their child is considered amongst the strongest but it doesn't require anyone to actually "build" or "work" on it.
Your second statement doesn't always hold true.
Why didn't Chuck just excuse himself to go yo the bathroom? This is why he lanterented himself, he was a fool.

Thumbnail looks like Chuck is suffering from hyper-sensitivity to electricity.
That thumbnail looks like he had taco bell.
I've had to watch more scene of this show through my fingers than most horror movies.
I misread this as “Chuck Tries To Hide His Chicanery From Rebecca” LMFAO😂😂
Lore of better call Saul momentum 100
1:50 saulsberg
I wonder how different the BCS universe would be if Jimmy actually told Chuck that he was passionate about law rather than telling him he graduated law all by himself
Cause it seems like Chuck relishes on the fact that Jimmy needs him
Speaking as an only child, I would have killed for a brother who loved me as much as Jimmy.
Why does it look he’s taking a dump in the thumbnail 😂
He could of went to the bathroom
YOU CAN'T PISS ON HOSPITALITY, I WON'T ALLOW IT
