Little did we know that hit award winning series breaking bad as well as better call Saul were mere chicken feed compared to the absolute buffet of glorious story telling that Slippin' Jimmy was
That and the whole Brock poisoning thing are the 2 biggest issues with Breaking Bad for me, but the Mike thing is only really bad with the added context of BCS. In BrBa by itself Mike and Saul only had a few scenes together
@@HNfilms Agreed, definitely feel it could've been a good flashback at some point, maybe instead of the Walt time machine scene. It just felt weird that it was never brought up once in the show despite their dynamics being a pretty important part of the early seasons
We already saw how Saul reacted to Mike's death in Breaking Bad, where he told Walt (to paraphrase) "So, do you also want to send Hank to Belize with Mike?" He said so in a mild tone, implying he's apathetic towards his death. This makes sense since Saul's been more apathetic to more significant deaths in his life, and they've never been friends, just mutual acquaintances.
i find it rather wholesome that Huell was the only one who watched Kim and Jimmy's wedding. Especially how he tries to suggest giving them a nicer wedding and a honeymoon.
Not only is the explosion in JMM real, but they blew up a real restaurant. The building was scheduled to be demolished so they just let the BCS crew blow it up. (If I remember correctly, they discuss it in the show's podcast)
Well it's more or less a pyrotechnic fake/firery explosion that would a) not happen if you just set a deepfryer on fire and b) a real explosion would send fragment with insane speed at Gus walking away, so i would say it's like 50/50 "real"
Disagree on the Jeff section, I never really looked at him as the final boss, I think he was meant to represent that the past catches you no matter how fast you are. His biggest fear at that moment come true. Making him a villain would've been even more pointless because we know who the truly bad people are at the end of the show.
He definitely shouldnt have been a "final boss" but I felt his appearances pre-season 6 (before the recasting) had a more intimidating feel and it felt like it was being setup as a more of a conflict.
I’m actually a big fan of how they handled Jeff. When Gene first meets him it makes sense for him to initially perceive him as a mysterious threat. Once Gene regains his confidence, it becomes more apparent that Jeff isn’t a imposing boogeyman, but rather a loner desperate for something interesting to occur in his life. Although unintentional, I think the casting change reinforces this characterization. Big fan of Jeff, and Nippy is a top 10 episode.
I mostly agree, but I think the show messed up by making Jeff's demeanor completely different between the seasons. I would completely buy Jeff in Season 6 if they didn't make him so threatening in Season 5.
I still love Nippy but I think the nuance of the dynamic between Gene and Jeff from S5 and Nippy is lost with the actor switch. It would've been way more interesting to see OG Jeff be scares of Jimmy rather than have that whole side of his character be replaced with a totally different actor.
Yeah I don't think Nippy is that bad. I think the comedic tone fits with Jimmy returning to heisting but FUN, like how it started earlier in the show, reminding us of how Jimmy was in the beginning. While at the same time being kind of menacing, because we know everything he's done to this point, so it's not at innocent as it appears. It also reflects how Gene feels, completely safe and at home because he's an extremely experienced con man around people that have no reason to expect anything untoward from him. Him screwing around and enjoying his power. Maybe him finally feeling free after all that pressure Then we see a return to reality with him having to confess the actual emptiness of his life, and this leads in to the later episodes where he starts to go darker again and pretty much self destructive Although I do agree that the Jeff change is distracting
The problem is, after seeing Gene sad and mopey in all the flash forwards, and just seeing Jimmy and Kim split, the next episode in this dull colorless post Saul losing literally everything world isn't supposed to be fun and light hearted. It's supposed to be well written, sad, and at LEAST interesting. I was looking forwards to the Gene stuff all show, and when I get there, it's shoplifting shenanigans with a taxi driver I don't care about, and an old lady I can't stand. Nippy was shit, breaking bad was a disappointment, water works was the only proper Gene episode, and the finale wasn't really Gene.
3 months late but GREAT VIDEO! Just wanted to mention that in the Chicanery rant when Chuck says "1216" he is not making a mistake, he is referring to the altered documents which are the ones he read. He never saw the original 1261 address until after the big fallout with Mesa Verde. He KNEW it was 1216 in the version he saw (altered docs) but "couldn't prove it" because they had been switched back after the fact.
I don’t know why no one agrees with me. But watching nippy live was perhaps the most nerve wracking thing ever. I was constantly at the edge of my seat waiting for Gene to get caught. Literally sweating and pausing every minute cos it got too much for my heart lol. I really, really enjoyed it. Also his speech about having no friend or family, he’s so disconnected from the story but it’s all completely true and i know deep down he believed all he said and was crying for real. Ahhh loved it.
This video is perfect in its pacing, choice of clips, and flow between each ranking (not to mention the script as tight as Lydia's coochie). Easily your best video since the video editing software tier list.
This comment is one of EpicJackman’s greatest works. Organically minimalist with classical Cunkesqe accents culminating in a liminal depiction of the stillness of modern life contrasted against the obdurate movement of time. I see this as a transitional piece to his continuing oeuvre.

@@D14MBK better call saul fan when they find out that people do irrational things that they wouldn't normally do when they're in the most stressful stuation of their entire lifes
@@D14MBK Was gus not the one to kill the cartel members himself? and then for hector he tried to kill him with the syringe? Gus will put himself in danger if it means revenge against the cartel and specifically the salamancas, he strikes as exactly the kind of man who would want to kill his enemies with his own hands.
@@D14MBK You're pretending like Gus wasn't the guy that walked into literal gun fire from a Cartel sniper. Or that Gus wasn't the guy to drink poison amongst the Cartel, what if Don Eladio denied Gus's request to use the bathroom? Or refused to drink from Gus's wine? Just the mere death of Gus disproves everything you are saying. Gus wasn't even endangering himself by choice in this scene, he figured out Lalo was at the Laundry, and he couldn't just send all his men there and leave himself alone in the house undefended. The only thing he could do, which was the most logical option, was to go WITH the bodyguards he hired to protect him. It was just impossible for them to predict how much of an absolute beast Lalo was.

This video is way way better than the other that just plainly summarizes the series and each episode in a very deadpan format. I really like how much you have to say on each episode, it gives a very good reason to watch this other than just reading a Wikipedia article. Great work
how could you possibly talk about waterworks without mentioning the kim breakdown scene on the bus. that scene alone puts this episode on the top of my personal list and is some of the best acting ive ever seen
22:25 Jimmy was trying to get Chuck's insurance screwed here. He was faking wanting his insurance back to get back at Chuck. Also I loved the Emmy joke (he seriously deserves so many more awards than he got).
At first I was like: "Wait, what happened? Why Bob started to act so shitty in this scene?". And then, when they revealed that Bob was playing Jimmy, who is overacting on purpose to screw Chuck, I was blown away
IMO Nippy is great for the story. It's Jimmy putting his foot down and not being scared (Like when he hung up on the vacuum guy). He thinks he can turn into saul again and prove he is smarter than everyone. It also features one of the best montages in the whole show. Copper seems to do that thing that people do where they make their own story in their head and get mad when it doesn't happen, he even mentions the showrunners had their own plan for a while. He's basically mad that his personal expectations were not met.
Bro, your top 3 is just peak. Fun and Games and Winner were always super underrated and you just took and placed them on top three. Eternal respect. I also loved that you didn't put Alpine Shepherd Boy into 10 worst or so, at least someone understands the genius of the sex toilet. Many people put episodes like Bagman and Point and Shoot at their top 5, but you're just better. Putting Saul Gone at 6 place is really controversial, but i agree tbh. And bro, putting season 1 on the top of your seasons ranking is just different and I can see a lot of reasons why. Best BCS episode ranking video for sure, beautiful stuff.
I actually really love Nippy but if I had any complaint about it I think it’s just the placement of the episode, I guarantee if it was instead the first episode of the season it would’ve been received way better and I think the ending of Nippy would’ve been a bit more impactful. It definitely still works with where it is, but I can’t lie and say I think it was best for the episode.
Disagree cos it would’ve been really fucking random. I think they should’ve made the heist more serious tho. And Jeff more serious. It’d be nice of them to have another episode where we saw Saul as Saul in addition to it, before or after nippy. Maybe cut in between the two scene by scene etc. idk
Very solid summary, i have to show some love for this video, im not 100% agree with the ranking but it's always pleased to hear some different opinions, after all it's still a well made video, thanks :)
So based for Winner being your number 1. That last scene with Werner and Mike actually broke me it might be the saddest moment in the entire show and I’m being so serious.
I think it was ruined by the clever Walt Season Finale for full measure. It’s not that the scene isn’t beautifully brutal but we already saw the version where the victim begs to call his loved one only to outfox him. It’s like beating beast Gannon only to have to fight regular form afterwards.
Great video! While I definitely didn't agree with all of your choices, the presentational style was perfect - just the right amount of time spent on each episode. I originally clicked on the video just to jump around to a few sots, but I got hooked and ended up watching the whole thing! -Not sure what the situation with fair use is but I might recommend cutting in and giving a couple of seconds of audio from the actual episode like you did once earlier on- nvm lol I posted this before finishing the video and you did it a bunch more times. Also, I found it hilarious how many times you nonchalantly cut to Howard getting shot in the head lol
I love this video. I’ve watched it or listened to it now for at least 40 times. I agree with all of your opinions, and your sense of humor is actually gold. The pace is perfect and your deadpan comedy is brilliant. Just wanted to say how much i appreciate your work
Great video. I agree with your preference for Jimmy's storyline compared to Mike's. And you had really funny jokes in there too. I especially liked how you said the words "prank" or "trolling" a lot even if it didn't fit how disturbing the event was. And the Gus jokes were amazing too.
Although I disagree with some of the middle rankings, Winner is probably my favorite epiaode of the whole show. It may not have a singular moment as powerful as Howard dying for example, but the entire thing is so cohesive and packed full of brilliant interactions. It also is the best way to end the arc of Jimmy and truly set up Lalo as a massive threat (he had shown up before, but this was the moment everyone realized how massive of a threat he was) also the iconic ending.
imo Winner is the perfect better call Saul episode and if I had to show someone a single episode of the show to help them understand the themes and character arcs it would be Winner

Listening to the individual episodes, I’m 100% with you, and then I see the number rankings for said episodes and can be at quite a loss. 😂 Really enjoyed this whole video.
So happy you put Winner as 1. IMO The kareoke scene is the greatest scene of the entire show. It makes me weep everytime I watch it. Oh, what could have been...
My favorite has probably got to be Winner. My overall list is definitely a little different, but I agree with a lot of the points you brought up. This was an amazing video and I'm glad I watched all the way through.

8:54 The writer of this episode actually said in an interview that Kuby actually just ended up running away and getting off scot free by completely vanishing - "he's one of those guys that just gets away with it"
Winner at #1 is such an awesome pick, I totally agree, to me it's probably between that and Saul Gone. Also love the Glimbus inspiration for this video's format.
great job, i disagree about five o but other than that rankings pretty solid. there were some parts that reminded me a lot of glidus’ game of thrones episode ranking
Glidus’ vid was my main inspiration for this video so thats good to hear. He’s the gold standard for the “guys talking about episodes of TV shows for way too long” genre of RUclipsr.
1:01:00 the explosion is real! they talk about it in the BTS for the episode. It was 1 take, and Giancarlo Esposito did not even flinch as it happened. Fantastic work by all.
Winner at the top as it should be, I will never stop thinking about it Also, on your point about the Walt scene in Saul Gone being redundant with the Mike scene, I don't entirely agree. What I think makes it interesting is that in the Mike scene, Jimmy hears how Mike wants to go back to his first bribe because it was the mistake the took him on this path. Mike then criticizes Jimmy's shallow get time travel to get rich scheme. When he has this same conversation with Walt, he tries to mimick Mike like he has done multiple times before, trying to think of his first slip like Mike thinks about his first bribe. Walt can still see that it's bs, if Jimmy didn't do it there he would have done it later, because that's who he was and still is at that point. His true point of regret he would go back to change is finally shown with the Chuck scene, because it would have saved his relationship with his brother. To no longer be Slippin Jimmy, or Saul Goodman, he has to change by going forward instead of going back.
Bali Hai being last hurts. It’s too 3 visual storytelling in a show that specializes in visual storytelling. There’s like a 10 minute sequence where no words are said at all and it’s amazing.
great list. A video that i can surely consider a great watch, especially now that i've just finished rewatching Better Call Saul. Keep up the good work 🙌
Just finished the show yesterday and really appreciate this video, because 1 it summarises everything up again and depicts what happened at what point of the show and 2 it got me thinking how I would rate the episodes. What I personally have very high is Bagman(BB vibes, Jimmy and Mike, action, beautiful landscapes) and Fifi (great trailer, Jimmys manipulation montage, the commercial shooting scene)
To expand further as I've finished. Really impressed with your editing, especially how you used text for comedic as well as important informative purposes. I'm going to definitely check some more videos out from you very soon!
I usually hate videos like this they’re so disagreeable and annoying. Aside from the Nippy guest bit, I really enjoyed the video. Your commentary was thorough and I respect your opinions on the show!
I audibly cheered when you said the Pimento scene was perhaps your favorite. It is mine as well. Season 1 is IMO great overall by laying down the fundamentals of every character and with an episode like Pimento, especially this scene, it encapsulates the entire relationship between Chuck and Jimmy in only the first season!
Also adore the copymachine scene in RICO. Not hearing what they're saying but obviously knowing that Jimmy is being disappointed is such a cool way of filmmaking.
i love this, while i disagree with some of the takes thats ok. Your way of describing the episodes is really intriguing. Hope you blow up from this edit: wanted to add your reasoning for why you like some episodes is really sound and I'm sure most people see where your coming from
I think my entire top 5 (and possibly beyond) are S6 episodes 😂 That being said, Bad Choice Road and Winner are without a doubt in my mind the best two outside of S6
@@HNfilms Saul Gone is genuinely my favourite episode of television. Ever. That being said, Rock and Hard Place, Plan and Execution, and Fun and Games are all competitively in the race. I think the "worst" of those four is probably in my top 30 at worst and in all likelihood much higher.
Also my favorites are point and shoot, fun and games, rock and hard place, chicanery, waterworks, breaking bad (that gene going mental arc was scary as hell on a first watch), winner, S1E9, and plan and execution on no particular order. Also, the pilot. That “I’m going to get better” scene is the best character establishing scene I’ve ever watched.
I know this video was 3 months old, but the "Expenses" episode (21:55) was labeled as S1E7 instead of S3E7, I thought I was being mandela effect'd thinking the pill capsule and health insurance plotlines were in season 1 haha. Excellent video though!
Werner's death might be the most tragic death across both shows, in my opinion. My favorite episodes are: Mijo (102) Five-O (106) Marco (110) Chicanery (305) Something Unforgivable (510) Plan and Execution (607) Point and Shoot (608)
In my opinion it's not half as tragic as many other deaths, because Werner knew he did something wrong and accepted the consequences, plus he died painlessly and they made a decent story for him.
Andrea. (And, I think Howard’s is more tragic, given that he never got into anything that should have resulted in danger of him being murdered, unlike Werner.)

Put some respect on Alpine Shepherd Boy
@@HNfilms Yeah, it's got good comedic moments, the first time we see Jimmy delve into elder law and the first real explanation of Chuck's illness
Putting inflatable at 52 is a sin. One of my favourite episodes
Rebecca and Alpine Shepard Boy are amazing episodes. Don't understand why they're so often rated at the bottom of people's lists.
all m seeing from these lists is that season 6 is a masterpiece
how could you possibly talk about waterworks without mentioning the kim breakdown scene on the bus. that scene alone puts this episode on the top of my personal list and is some of the best acting ive ever seen
I have finally found another person whose favourite episode is Winner, thank you so much, you just made my day
There are dozens of us
22:25 Jimmy was trying to get Chuck's insurance screwed here. He was faking wanting his insurance back to get back at Chuck. Also I loved the Emmy joke (he seriously deserves so many more awards than he got).
Yeah Im aware of that
@@HNfilms great video btw I liked that you didn't put Chicanery #1 even though it's my personal favorite it's nice to see someone not put it #1
At first I was like: "Wait, what happened? Why Bob started to act so shitty in this scene?". And then, when they revealed that Bob was playing Jimmy, who is overacting on purpose to screw Chuck, I was blown away
1:21:51 a breakup so heartbreaking that Saul develops erectile dysfunction.
Happens to the best of us
@@HNfilms amen💅
I feel like I usually get bored halfway through ranking videos, but this one kept me interested throughout, so thanks for that! Great video mate
IMO Nippy is great for the story. It's Jimmy putting his foot down and not being scared (Like when he hung up on the vacuum guy). He thinks he can turn into saul again and prove he is smarter than everyone. It also features one of the best montages in the whole show. Copper seems to do that thing that people do where they make their own story in their head and get mad when it doesn't happen, he even mentions the showrunners had their own plan for a while. He's basically mad that his personal expectations were not met.
Very CinemaSins like
Bro, your top 3 is just peak. Fun and Games and Winner were always super underrated and you just took and placed them on top three. Eternal respect. I also loved that you didn't put Alpine Shepherd Boy into 10 worst or so, at least someone understands the genius of the sex toilet. Many people put episodes like Bagman and Point and Shoot at their top 5, but you're just better. Putting Saul Gone at 6 place is really controversial, but i agree tbh. And bro, putting season 1 on the top of your seasons ranking is just different and I can see a lot of reasons why. Best BCS episode ranking video for sure, beautiful stuff.
@@HNfilms Understandable
@@pokotaykin wdym controversial? Saul Gone is great
@@D14MBK it is usually placed way higher, top 3 or so
After rewatching the show I would honestly out SG higher
@@HNfilms Will there be a moment when youll put Alpine Shepherd Boy on first?
I actually really love Nippy but if I had any complaint about it I think it’s just the placement of the episode, I guarantee if it was instead the first episode of the season it would’ve been received way better and I think the ending of Nippy would’ve been a bit more impactful. It definitely still works with where it is, but I can’t lie and say I think it was best for the episode.
Disagree cos it would’ve been really fucking random. I think they should’ve made the heist more serious tho. And Jeff more serious. It’d be nice of them to have another episode where we saw Saul as Saul in addition to it, before or after nippy. Maybe cut in between the two scene by scene etc. idk
Very solid summary, i have to show some love for this video, im not 100% agree with the ranking but it's always pleased to hear some different opinions, after all it's still a well made video, thanks :)
I dont care what mfers say this review/tier list was goated
So based for Winner being your number 1. That last scene with Werner and Mike actually broke me it might be the saddest moment in the entire show and I’m being so serious.
That scene is honestly one of the ones that stuck with me most out of both Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad.
I think it was ruined by the clever Walt Season Finale for full measure. It’s not that the scene isn’t beautifully brutal but we already saw the version where the victim begs to call his loved one only to outfox him. It’s like beating beast Gannon only to have to fight regular form afterwards.
"any scene with Lydia is already top tier" SO BASED
Great video! While I definitely didn't agree with all of your choices, the presentational style was perfect - just the right amount of time spent on each episode. I originally clicked on the video just to jump around to a few sots, but I got hooked and ended up watching the whole thing! -Not sure what the situation with fair use is but I might recommend cutting in and giving a couple of seconds of audio from the actual episode like you did once earlier on- nvm lol I posted this before finishing the video and you did it a bunch more times.
Also, I found it hilarious how many times you nonchalantly cut to Howard getting shot in the head lol
I love this video. I’ve watched it or listened to it now for at least 40 times. I agree with all of your opinions, and your sense of humor is actually gold. The pace is perfect and your deadpan comedy is brilliant. Just wanted to say how much i appreciate your work
You agree with this guy
WATCH THE BREAKING BAD VIDEO
Great video. I agree with your preference for Jimmy's storyline compared to Mike's. And you had really funny jokes in there too. I especially liked how you said the words "prank" or "trolling" a lot even if it didn't fit how disturbing the event was. And the Gus jokes were amazing too.
I love the amount of shade you throw while describing the episodes LMAO
Congrats on completing this massive video. A shit ton of work on display here
Although I disagree with some of the middle rankings, Winner is probably my favorite epiaode of the whole show. It may not have a singular moment as powerful as Howard dying for example, but the entire thing is so cohesive and packed full of brilliant interactions. It also is the best way to end the arc of Jimmy and truly set up Lalo as a massive threat (he had shown up before, but this was the moment everyone realized how massive of a threat he was) also the iconic ending.
imo Winner is the perfect better call Saul episode and if I had to show someone a single episode of the show to help them understand the themes and character arcs it would be Winner
Just wanna say that him sending you such a long cameo is making me a lil teary eyed, I love people who love what they do and love talking about it

Someone, I think on the Breaking Bad episode rankings, said they agree with all the takes, but disagree with most of the rankings…that’s 100% how I feel, lol. Listening to the individual episodes, I’m 100% with you, and then I see the number rankings for said episodes and can be at quite a loss. 😂 Really enjoyed this whole video.
when jimmy said "were bad together, so what? together we can break bad away from us!" i truly cried
Season 1 as your favorite is such an interesting take. It’s a great season in rewatching though
He really chose the worst one lol
@@dem2099 nah it’s great, first watch it’s slow but on a second watch it’s really enjoyable
So happy you put Winner as 1. IMO The kareoke scene is the greatest scene of the entire show. It makes me weep everytime I watch it. Oh, what could have been...
The winner takes it all...
Love abba. That surprised me
Great video! Love it!

My favorite has probably got to be Winner. My overall list is definitely a little different, but I agree with a lot of the points you brought up. This was an amazing video and I'm glad I watched all the way through.
Well done sir 👏 The amount of time and thought you must have out into this is worthy of applause.
Some ranking choices were weird, to say the least, but it's always nice to see some legit different opinions.
Love the commentary on this vid, even if I don't completely agree with everything said, I really like this video
Truly one of the most well made videos, and one of my favorite youtubers.
You're really the most underrated youtuber. Neve stop making these videos and one day you'll be big

@@lukesteiner8934 I’ve changed my opinion pretty much since I posted this comment. I updated it now
@@questionablezoomer764 from not being top 10 to being number 1 lol
@@lukesteiner8934 Ikr
Honestly it’s kind of refreshing to see a video like this where the list isn’t identical to Time Magazine lol. Great video
8:54 The writer of this episode actually said in an interview that Kuby actually just ended up running away and getting off scot free by completely vanishing - "he's one of those guys that just gets away with it"
You should have a counter for everytime you play Howard's death lmao
It would be too big to fit on the screen
this was a lot of fun to watch! and the editing? holy shit, you edited a feature length youtube video this well! bravo, v-hn films!
And Im currently in the process of doing it all again for Breaking Bad!
@@HNfilms so I heard, can’t wait
Winner at #1 is such an awesome pick, I totally agree, to me it's probably between that and Saul Gone. Also love the Glimbus inspiration for this video's format.
Thanks for highlighting Fun and Games and Winner, standout episodes both
waiting for its sequel: Every Breaking Bad Episode RANKED
great job, i disagree about five o but other than that rankings pretty solid. there were some parts that reminded me a lot of glidus’ game of thrones episode ranking
Glidus’ vid was my main inspiration for this video so thats good to hear. He’s the gold standard for the “guys talking about episodes of TV shows for way too long” genre of RUclipsr.
take a shot every time this guy shows the clip of howards brains getting blown out
1:01:00 the explosion is real! they talk about it in the BTS for the episode. It was 1 take, and Giancarlo Esposito did not even flinch as it happened. Fantastic work by all.
Take a shot every time the clip of Howard getting shot is shown
Winner at the top as it should be, I will never stop thinking about it
Also, on your point about the Walt scene in Saul Gone being redundant with the Mike scene, I don't entirely agree. What I think makes it interesting is that in the Mike scene, Jimmy hears how Mike wants to go back to his first bribe because it was the mistake the took him on this path. Mike then criticizes Jimmy's shallow get time travel to get rich scheme. When he has this same conversation with Walt, he tries to mimick Mike like he has done multiple times before, trying to think of his first slip like Mike thinks about his first bribe. Walt can still see that it's bs, if Jimmy didn't do it there he would have done it later, because that's who he was and still is at that point. His true point of regret he would go back to change is finally shown with the Chuck scene, because it would have saved his relationship with his brother. To no longer be Slippin Jimmy, or Saul Goodman, he has to change by going forward instead of going back.
Bali Hai being last hurts. It’s too 3 visual storytelling in a show that specializes in visual storytelling. There’s like a 10 minute sequence where no words are said at all and it’s amazing.
Hank is one of the funniest characters in the BB universe. Any scene with him is gold
I got an ad for a local personal injury lawyer while watching this and started freaking the fuck out.
great list. A video that i can surely consider a great watch, especially now that i've just finished rewatching Better Call Saul. Keep up the good work 🙌
55:50 ah yes my favorite season 1 episode
I realized the forest jimmy walks through is the same one mike gets shot at in bb
Can you do a video just like this for Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead? It would be so good cuz your commentary and inside jokes are HILARIOUS 😂
Breaking Bad is in the works
You would love doing one for Mob Psycho and Attack on Titan.....but stay away from One Piece
Amazing work dude!
i clicked on this just for some saul chat but the dry humour in this video is outstanding. bravo hn films
52:20 "Who at this stage is a Far Cry"
I don't care that it's 55 minutes in, fuck you that got me.
Just finished the show yesterday and really appreciate this video, because 1 it summarises everything up again and depicts what happened at what point of the show and 2 it got me thinking how I would rate the episodes. What I personally have very high is Bagman(BB vibes, Jimmy and Mike, action, beautiful landscapes) and Fifi (great trailer, Jimmys manipulation montage, the commercial shooting scene)
I love your sarcasm. Really fun video, even if I disagree at times. Subscribed!
To expand further as I've finished. Really impressed with your editing, especially how you used text for comedic as well as important informative purposes. I'm going to definitely check some more videos out from you very soon!
Thanks a lot, I should have more videos out some time in the next decade
@@HNfilms no rush!
I usually hate videos like this they’re so disagreeable and annoying. Aside from the Nippy guest bit, I really enjoyed the video. Your commentary was thorough and I respect your opinions on the show!
I audibly cheered when you said the Pimento scene was perhaps your favorite. It is mine as well. Season 1 is IMO great overall by laying down the fundamentals of every character and with an episode like Pimento, especially this scene, it encapsulates the entire relationship between Chuck and Jimmy in only the first season!
Great list by the way. Coincidentally lots of my opinions overlap with yours, and for good reason!
Also adore the copymachine scene in RICO. Not hearing what they're saying but obviously knowing that Jimmy is being disappointed is such a cool way of filmmaking.
"Anna Gunn is yours" lmao
i love this, while i disagree with some of the takes thats ok. Your way of describing the episodes is really intriguing. Hope you blow up from this
edit: wanted to add your reasoning for why you like some episodes is really sound and I'm sure most people see where your coming from
I think my entire top 5 (and possibly beyond) are S6 episodes 😂
That being said, Bad Choice Road and Winner are without a doubt in my mind the best two outside of S6
What would you say is the best s6 episode?
@@HNfilms Saul Gone is genuinely my favourite episode of television. Ever.
That being said, Rock and Hard Place, Plan and Execution, and Fun and Games are all competitively in the race. I think the "worst" of those four is probably in my top 30 at worst and in all likelihood much higher.
This is truly the moment Walter becomes Heisenberg
Also my favorites are point and shoot, fun and games, rock and hard place, chicanery, waterworks, breaking bad (that gene going mental arc was scary as hell on a first watch), winner, S1E9, and plan and execution on no particular order. Also, the pilot. That “I’m going to get better” scene is the best character establishing scene I’ve ever watched.
LMAO why did I never notice Kim's client playing Super Mario Land 2 on an old gray brick Gameboy in a scene that takes place in 2003?
Lalo made BCS absolutely worth watching. Tony Dalton is brilliant as Lalo.
Chuck is better
this might be the most beautifully constructed youtube video i’ve ever seen
I know this video was 3 months old, but the "Expenses" episode (21:55) was labeled as S1E7 instead of S3E7, I thought I was being mandela effect'd thinking the pill capsule and health insurance plotlines were in season 1 haha. Excellent video though!
Also, "lantern" at 57:28
Really confused me for a moment
the opening of something stupid is my favorite scene in the entire show, i love it so much
Werner's death might be the most tragic death across both shows, in my opinion.
My favorite episodes are:
Mijo (102)
Five-O (106)
Marco (110)
Chicanery (305)
Something Unforgivable (510)
Plan and Execution (607)
Point and Shoot (608)
In my opinion it's not half as tragic as many other deaths, because Werner knew he did something wrong and accepted the consequences, plus he died painlessly and they made a decent story for him.
Andreas death exists 💀
Andrea. (And, I think Howard’s is more tragic, given that he never got into anything that should have resulted in danger of him being murdered, unlike Werner.)
This video is excellent, and way funnier than I thought it would be 😂
Better call saul has two finales which I find pretty cool. You could stop watching after fun and games and the black and white stuff is an epilogue
banger vid my guy
We will be watching
“Chuck cries like a baby and dies”….. twice
Mad respect for putting Fun and Games up there, it’s the best episode imo
