Ayy
I love how they all held their head at the same time lol
Lol
Years later and that "THWAK" sound is still one of the most uncomfortable scenes in the BB universe. It's more disturbing than when Ted slipped and slammed his head into his kitchen island.
And the entire breaking bad community ruined it by making it meme.
@@roxtechsI beg your pardon? A fandom cannot ruin anything unless it's an online game. In everything else, you cab just ignore them.
@@SalesmanWave no no he’s actually right cause memes also ruined squid games. People can’t take it serious
@@SalesmanWaveI remember a time I was scrolling through my feed and someone put a spoiler that was supposed to be a big surprise reveal for a season right in the title of their video clip.
Kim is such a great character
.
Indeed.
Best new/non-BB character. And that's saying a lot considering all of the others are great too!
Kim is Vince Gilligan's redemption for all female characters in BB.
We love a morally gray badass
@@jaives all the 2 characters rofl
@@jaives what does that even mean lol.
I think Calvin might need to research head trauma! It's pretty scary how many deaths a year are caused by people falling and hitting their heads on furniture. A lot of people actually get up unaware that they might have a TBI.
I mean sounds like that's what happened to Bob Saget too
Reminds me of what happened to Ted Beneke in Breaking Bad. Dude cracked his skull
@@arafat9828 Beneke broke his neck not his skull. And they mentioned that in the reaction.
@@havok6280 Ahh my bad
Exactly...very easy to miss this diagnosis as there's not much symptoms and if not killed right away, a 2nd light head injury within few weeks can certainly cause imminent death
I adore every single scene Kim is in. She's easily my favorite character in the show.
This was the episode that starts the best to come of the series….in my opinion…
Chicanery is one of the best episodes in the BB universe imo
Chicanery is one of the best episode ever in tv imo
@@fatihhaznedar3302 You probably have watched all of tv shows in existance to make that bold claim
@@sebaynovuelve and you must be fun at parties
@@dont_know_the_username586 At least I get invited to parties, can't say the same about you though
I do love how Chuck's "allergy" is depicted. I can practically feel it myself.
Really makes his descent into madness and depression sad
@@roxtechs He is a selfish narcissist who smashes any foundation Jimmy tries to build.
He’ll get no sympathy from me
How are you on every Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad video comment section?
@@ThatMessiFan10I love watching reactions to these shows, also leaving a comment helps the algorithm.
I am convinced seasons 3,4 and 5 are gonna break these guys. Season 2 is great, but nowhere near the level of the following. So fucking hyped. And also wonder how they will feel about Chucks character in the future.
massive fact
Chuck's character doesn't have much of a 'future'..
@@GodofMMA23 chuck burns a little lol
I've been thinking the exact same damn thing since they watched episode one :D Just hope they finish it by the start of last season
I don't know if there is a type of youtube comment that I dislike more than the ones in TV show episode reaction videos that hype up how good it's going to get later on. And there is always one every episode all the way to the second to last episode of the show. No ability to enjoy the now, always has to be on the look out for the next thing, never having fun in the moment.
One important point that I do not know if they noticed was that the good samaritan that Hector shot in the face was a serious catalyst for Mike's character arc. At that moment, he know that HE was responsible for that innocent person's life...and it leads him where he goes from that point.
No half measures. He didnt take his own advice this time, and it ended badly.
@@Dexausmelmac Maybe, but his choice to not do it earlier made some sense. Killing a Salamanca is risky.
That will become pretty evident over the next episode or two
yup in BrBa 5x5 Dead Freight Mike says something close to 'Ive done this long enough to know that there are only two kinds of heist. those where the guys get away with it, and those that leave witnesses.' it was this experience with a"Good Samaritan" a term also used by Mike in Brba 5x5 during the train heist, that provides the basis for his reluctance to steal the methylamine
Kim's speech to Chuck here explains my sentiments about Chuck and Jimmy exactly. this episode was what made her one of my favorite characters; she's just amazing and Rhea Seehorn can do no wrong in this role.
yeah but we later find out she was wrong. Jimmy has always been this way, Chuck had little to do with it. Jimmy is destined to be Gene. The ironic thing is Chuck is the one trying to prevent Jimmy from becoming Saul or Gene but i guess he must've failed.
@@BhBc8f8 he fails because he doesn't even try to help his brother
@@BhBc8f8 yes but Jimmy was genuinely trying to become good. If Chuck hadn't pushed him out of the Sandpiper case, then Jimmy would've loved to work alongside his brother. Sure, he would've tried to take a couple of shortcuts and a few small cons here and there, but still nothing too serious
@@arafat9828 What about Davis and main? a respectable job at a respectable firm but he quit to do his own thing. Chuck had nothing to do with it. seems they even had some sort of deal early on, he gets him out of prison and into the mailroom and Jimmy stops conning people. wishful thinking there by Chuck but ya can't stop destiny.
@@BhBc8f8 Davis and Main was entirely his fault. No question. But Chuck sure didn't help. It seemed like he was purposely goading Jimmy to slip when he heard about his job offer. As for him bailing Jimmy out, he was content with keeping Jimmy in the mailroom. As soon as he became a lawyer, Chuck did his damndest to make sure he wouldn't actually succeed.
I rewatched this episode recently and I was actually surprised how much was in this episode and how fast things escalated. And it barely slows down from here.
"This show's so good".. You have no idea.. this next run of episodes is pure gold.
The thing is, Kim and Chuck both told the truth. Chuck was right that Jimmy did what he did, because it is who he is, but Kim is right because Chuck could have prevented Jimmy from becoming who he is if he actually believed that Jimmy could change and didn't just pour the words of failure into him non-stop.
Saul mentions Nacho by his real name in his first episode of Breaking Bad when Walt and Jessie kidnap him and bring him to the dessert to force him to represent Badger
I think they should be told after Lalo shows up, not before.
@@bachelorgoosy9145 I agree
@@bachelorgoosy9145 "Hey it's that guy from Hawkeye"
I fucking love Better Call Saul so much. Sometimes maybe even more than Breaking Bad.
Loved their reaction to Kim too, she's so good!
Watching Eric so joyously and enthusiastically gushing about the show (and we're only on season 2!!!!!!) really made my week. Thanks guys! I'm glad you're enjoying this show and sharing it with us.
Mesa Verde is the name of the bank Rod Steiger plans to rob in the 1971 film 'Duck, You Sucker' (also known as 'Fistful of Dynamite' and 'Once Upon a Time... Revolution').
Nacho is mentioned in the Breaking Bad episode “Better Call Saul” when Saul is in the desert with Walt and Jesse but he’s not seen in the series.
Side note, you guys are getting to the really good stuff now.
Love how exciting the ending of this show was when it’s just a guy passing out and hitting his head on a counter. Character development is everything.
Kim in this episode when talking to Chuck is so amazing and cathartic.
I like to think that eric just loves con men, just like he loved Reigen's character (reigen from mob psycho 100), he loves Jimmy while knowing that jimmy is far from being perfect
Also Sawyer from Lost. I'm in the same boat, con men and swindelers are the fucking best
such an amazing fucking episode
Since you were curious, Mesa Verde is also the name of a famous National Park in Colorado. It has cliff dwellings.
Amazing how all one show needs to be amazing is a game of cat and mouse between brothers. Whereas other shows work so hard with visuals, explosions, etc.
"She's a really good lawyer"
*Checks date of upload*
This show is so good!!! And the stuff that is still to come, oh my god it just makes me more excited for the reactions!
Kim might be my favorite character. And considering this show also has Mike, that's saying something.
As crazy as the ending of this episode is, I would like to highlight the scene with Kim, Chuck, and Jimmy. I mean that’s the start of Kim’s support to Jimmy. I love it when Kim punches Jimmy like she does not tell anything (other than ‘Just drive’) but we know what she has done for Jimmy. Such a perfect way to execute ‘show-dont-tell’ scene.
Btw, cant wait for the last episode of this season and Chicanery on season 3!
13:48 nice one, Eric lol
Hector truly was the Ill Intent in this situation
Not really. Eric messed up the quote.
The ill intent set upon the traveler, not the Samaritan.
Lol, Calvin always argues with the same amount of confidence and haughtiness no matter if it's something he's familiar with or something he obviously doesn't have a clue about
Been waiting for this episode! IMO this is when the story really starts going. I love the first 2 seasons, but from this point on the show starts to take another trajectory (and it's fantastic!)
Nacho is mentioned the time that Jesse and Walt kidnap Saul, wich hooded in the desert mentions Nacho and other character... :O
Seeing as these guys are ahead of this season I wonder if anyone tipped them off on each letter of this season forming "FRINGS BACK"
Now you see what an addictive series it is. Glorious TV. lol
Like someone else said in the comments, right around here is where the story will kick into high gear for the rest of the run. Can’t wait to enjoy it with you!
It was funny to hear them being up Ted Beneke lol I hadn’t thought of that scene in a while even thought that whole scene with Kubie & Hugh was hilarious to me.
cant wait for you guys to react to the next episodes.. it gets better and better
Everyone’s reaction 😱
Man this show is so effingggggg gooooood!
Calvin- you would’ve been like 2 years old when Carson went off the air?!
I forgot how fucking good this show was
You guys haven't no idea how this show turns so much good in the next's seasons
It's funny because Chuck is 100 percent right about Jimmy, but Kim is 100 percent right about Chuck. The difference is that while Jimmy won't admit to a crime, he'll admit his own faults. Chuck will not admit to any such thing.
This is the episode I starting seeing this show as in the same league as Breaking Bad
13:45 is a reason I love this channel
April 18th baby! Can't come soon enough!!
Anyone who thinks he can't die because of that hit should look at Bob Sagets death.
Considering under the wrong circumstances that you can die from a small cut, yeah.
Mesa Verda Bank in the show is a play on Mesa Verda National Park which is in Colorado on the border between CO and NM. Highly recommend it some day for you guys to see lots of old cave dwellings from native americans. Some of them big enough to have dozens of people living there.
Also Chuck could very well have died from that. I had a friend fall and hit his head on a counter and died that way. I didnt see it happen but thats what i was told
Oh I was just *waiting* for this episode!
😆
Chuck could be dead, have brain damage, be in a coma or experience memory loss; Head trauma is no joke.
The beginning of Mike's descent, love it
The final episode of this season is going to break these guys. Then it’s going to get even crazier for the next couple of seasons. This show is a masterpiece!
Good discussion about Chuck there.
Thanks editor, that ending really tied everything together
Eric's reaction 🤣
love this show!
They should pick up the pace to catch up with the new season!
They can't and won't.
Rhea Seahorn KILLED IT THIS EPISODE
"sometimes the good guys win". its so sad how different his outlook on life is here compared to BB saul :(
i am looking forward to the desk kicking scene.
13:46 Daredevil now on Disney+ :)
When Walt and Jesse kidnap Saul in BB, while Saul is panicking he says something like "It was Ignacho!"
Hey says Ignacio which is where the nickname for Nacho comes from
Before this episode I liked Kim, she had some good and interesting moments. But after this episode I loved her just for what she said to Chuck.
Green table is the translation to MESA VERDE. Watching from Argentina
been waiting for this episode
1:07 leave it to Eric to put a star wars reference in a better call Saul reaction lol
Mike can't let go that they threatened his granddaughter.
you should watch a short youtube video called "before the dark times" its a popular video and is so well done. Its perfect with the launch of the obi-wan series
Rhea Seehorn, series VIP
Just to clarify: Mesa is table in spanish
Mikes unprofessional nature got a good Samaritan killed those who act like mikes perfect are just silly mikes code allowed him to get someone killed on a personal beef and its because he didn't think about the good Samaritan the great mike had a luck luster plan and didn't think everything through i say this as a huge fan of mike but its just silly when the fandom refuses to criticize him
They’ll all pass out after watching chicanery
Just finished the episode 😁
You'll notice how easy it is for Chuck to blame other people for his mistakes. Yes, he was right about Jimmy, but Chuck always has to be in the right, even when he's wrong. It's one of the many examples of his hypocrisy throughout the show.
Hi! Mesa verde means "Green Table"
These guys need to rewatch the ignacio scene in breaking bad it should be a reaction after they catch up
These guys need to catch up with these Better Call Saul reactions (or at least in their Patreon) before Season 6 comes up.
I don't think they will
I dont think anyone had a different reaction to that head smack. I screamed at my tv. Oh my god it was so bad and that sound effect.
Eric is in such a good mood..
Why didn't Mike just inform on Hector?
DAMMIT VIIIIIIIIINCEEEEEEE!!!!!!
*Peter
Mesa = Table
Mesa Verde = Green Table
Seeing that last scene again, they could've easily killed Chuck here and it would've fit well, especially with what Kim said to him in the episode. However, I'm very glad he didn't die here considering what's to come
"Mesa Verde" translates to "Green Table"
Awsome episode
the brothers used to play Mortal Kombat all the time - Jimmy always won
18:46 he could be dead! D E D 😂
It’ll just keep getting better and better just you guys wait
mesa means table bro
In this episode Kim said what many fans believe in-Chuck is the reason why Jimmy became Saul Goodman. I’ve also shared that opinion for a long time but now that I think about it Chuck didn’t push his brother on a criminal route, yes he blocked him from entering the HHM but it’s not the only law firm in America.. There were many ways Jimmy could have build his career and he started to as a court lawyer but he got impatient. He wanted the success and money fast so he slipped, didn’t play by the rules. Chuck was right about him after all.
There may be some truth to that, but it's kind of undermined by the fact that not only did Chuck prevent Jimmy from joining HHM, he obviously didn't even refer him to another law firm. He even sold him that lie about doing good work and clients would come. So while he may have some validity in his claims, Chuck was not right. At least, not entirely.
But he was right. Doing the court law (don’t know how it’s called in english) wasn’t good enough for him. Every single time he wiggled his way out of difficult cases was not due to his deep knowledge of nuances in the law but sheer charisma and twisting the words. Chuck knew that Jimmy might play it straight for awhile but then it won’t be good enough for him. And of course he won’t refer someone he knows might be a risk to other companies. It would taint his own reputation. I do believe that as a family Chuck should have supported Jimmy and given him the benefit of the doubt but also understand why he didn’t.
@@Kuralai95 Yeah it wasn't. He had to build his own firm, support his own way of living, and take care of Chuck who couldn't leave his house. So saying court law wasn't good enough for him isn't exactly something to make him look bad. He needed to actually advance his career and make a better living. I wouldn't say every single time. And I might be remembering wrong, but I dont really recall him wiggling out of difficult cases at this point. Chuck was wrong though. Jimmy wanted his respect and to work with him. That might have been enough for him. But instead, he chose to leave him to hang and dry as a lawyer, expecting him to stay in the mailroom. Of course, his reputation. That's all that matters. Yeah, he should have. Even if he couldn't, tell him and suggest an alternate career path. Instead, he chose to hide behind Howard and let him take the heat of Jimmy's resentment all that time while pretending to support him.
@@parkerboy795 Jimmy was taking care of Chuck. Why? Out of brotherly love? Kind of. He also owed Chuck for a lot from the past. But Chuck was also a potential instrument of Jimmy's revenge against Howard. Jimmy was pushing Chuck into cashing out of HHM. Even though it would mean a liquidation and many people losing their jobs, including Kim. And not only that. HHM was Chuck's life and Jimmy must have known that. Instead of giving Chuck hopes that he gets better and returns to work, he was being sarcastic about it and wanted to make it so that Chuck actually never returns to his work in HHM, because it would be liquidated. I read all the time in the comments about Chuck "not wanting Jimmy to succeed". Well, these people are ignoring Jimmy's attitude towards Chuck.
It makes sense that Chuck didn't want Jimmy to work for HHM as a lawyer and also that he apparently didn't refer him to another law firm. Employing or recommending a "former" thief / con artist as a lawyer probably wouldn't sound like a good idea to most people. Well, unless that lawyer is an entertaining protagonist of a show and it's fun to watch and even root for a lawyer who "cuts corners" all the time. As Cliff said: "Jesus. Howard said you were a little eccentric. He didn't tell me you were a goddamn arsonist!"
Kim was wrong when she said: "You're the one who made him this way." Jimmy was this way long before he was refused by Howard/Chuck. Ironically, if Chuck didn't help Jimmy out of prison and to HHM, he wouldn't become Saul Goodman, the criminal lawyer. On the other hand, if Chuck gave Jimmy the job as a lawyer, would Jimmy be "good"? I keep wondering why people often seem to believe so. It seems like protagonist bias. Jimmy was always "cutting corners", which in his case often means actually breaking the law. Disrespect for any rules standing in his way that he can break and get away with it seems to be rooted deep in his personality. He keeps doing it since episode 1. He's not like "I can't arrange that car accident, what if Chuck would learn about it?" Well, Chuck actually did see the ER bills in episode 2 and it was another hint for him that Jimmy is doing something bad again and that he really shouldn't work for HHM as a laywer.
So both brothers are bad in different ways. But while Chuck is just deceiving his brother and using legal means against his lawyer cereer, Jimmy is doing worse and worse things, not only to his brother.
@@quark1153 Yes. Love, respect, and maybe repaying his debt. That wasn't about revenge. Jimmy had to provide for both himself and Chuck which he was barely able to do. Chuck's condition looked like it wasn't getting any better so the obvious thought would be he might as well officially get bought out. Hard to give him hope when he barely had any considering he was broke and Chuck was stuck at home. While you could argue about Howard sending Chuck money, Jimmy didn't trust Howard. I think you got the wrong impression from his attitude toward Chuck. He wanted him to go back to his regular life, but what was happening, that didn't seem like that was going to happen anytime soon and he had to ensure that they were both getting fed and Chuck wouldn't lose his house.
It does make sense, but it is also somewhat unfair that he never act discussed it with Jimmy as to why he wanted to be a lawyer and what it meant to him. It's also arguably unfair that he didn't give him the chance to prove himself. But really, it is low that he lied to him that he supported him while forcing his partner to take the heat for Jimmy's resentment. I'm not ignorant enough to blame Jimmy's choices on Chuck, but chances are, if he actually gave him a shot, Jimmy might have actually stuck to being a decent lawyer.
She was obviously saying that because she knew Chuck was right about what Jimmy did, but I'm not sure if she's entirely wrong with the things she said. Jimmy tried to walk the straight path for at least a decade though. He might have been. I get the skepticism as to believing he wouldn't be good, but writing him off as an irredeemable scumbag kind of ensured that he wouldn't think otherwise and stop trying to be better. I admit I have some protagonist bias, but even then, I also can admit Jimmy's flaws. I just think it's disingenuous to say that he never tried to be better and that all Chuck said about him is right. Perhaps, but prior to season 2, while not right, his actions seemed driven by desperation instead of excitement of breaking the rules or disregard for them. For example, that car accident. Again, not saying it was right, but he needed the Kettleman's business. And yet he didn't know the details of what happened or why it did
I'm not denying that. Especially by next season where they're pretty much the same. Perhaps, but it doesn't reflect on his virtue that Dell, even if what he does isn't illegal.
To be fair, Kim is obviously biased towards Jimmy in her speech about Chuck being the reason for who Jimmy is. It's of course a huge factor, but not the sole cause. We see that Jimmy did get a chance for success with the cushy job at Davis & Main which had no ties to Chuck. Even still, Jimmy couldn't just do things above board. He circumvented the partners which got him in trouble, then couldn't just bare the consequences of his actions which was just to learn the company practices and follow the rules. I mean the babysitter coworker was annoying, but it was his fault that he lost the partners trust and at least they gave him a second chance. So even without Chuck involved Jimmy couldn't help himself and inhibited his own career
plz do a reaction on "Raised by Wolves"
A lot of people say this is the worst season I don’t get the hate the season gets .
nothing wrong with that. Just people having different opinions
blame .. its .. the Thing.....
