- Breaking Bad - "Better Call Saul" Reaction (S2E8). // What a crazy character, you guys lmao. Saul is insane!! A couple quick updates:
-A few people have asked me about a Patreon for full-length reactions. I am working on exporting the full-lengths of all my existing videos, so that will be up once I have a catalogue of stuff to put on there :).
-A few people have commented on my general upload time, and I just wanted to say I am doing the best I can. Please keep in mind that each reaction video takes me at least 5-6 hours to make: 1 hour to watch, a 2nd to record the ep (until I have better audio equipment, cannot record simultaneously), an hour or 2 to edit, and about 2 hours for export, upload and copyright check. I also work 50-60 hour weeks, so while I am working on ways to cut this time down and get you reactions faster, please be patient with me! :)
-Finally, as always, if you're interested, my IG is @ericareacts.
Thanks for watching!
10:00 credit where credit is due, Peter Gould wrote the episode and created Saul Goodman’s character. He’s also been the showrunner and creative lead of Better Call Saul the show for its run
He crushed it lol
Bob Odenkirk absolutely kills this role. The scenes with Saul are some of my favorite in the series.
"So much more intelligent for Badger than I expected." ... And the magic lasted 1 minute hehe :D. I love him too though, in such a dramatic show its good to have these characters to compensate.
Hahaha I don’t *hate * Badger, but he drives me insane. He’s so dumb lmao - but I’m definitely opposed to prison shanking him 😂
"You want a CRIMINAL Lawyer." Is such a *chefs kiss* line.
Hahaha I loved it
Actually Walt didn't say "I don't know Vito Corleone", he said "I'm No Vito Corleone". As in he's no gangster boss, which explains Saul comparing Walt to Fredo.
Oops! That makes way more sense lmao I must have misheard
@@HeyErica That's what I'm here for, here to help.
i never realized Saul mentions Lalo in this episode.
Same, and Nacho
Saul is such a great character. Top 5 in Breakin Bad in my opinion. He gives such a well needed comic relief to the show. Energy all the way uo to 100. Gr8 reaction as always and like the new set up. 👍
Thank you so much!
He's also very necessary for them. They wouldn't get out of half the scrapes they end up being in, without him.
@@shugaroony true!!
That look that Jesse gives Walt when he's talking tough on the phone...
Too funny
"S'ALL GOOD, MAN"!
She wont understand
I’m guessing this is a reference I don’t know but it’s pretty funny that his name is that
@@HeyErica 😂😂😂 yea when you eventually understand try to remember this comment and mention this thread in the video it'll be funny
He mentioned Lalo and Nacho when they kidnapped him, that was so cool!
Saul is absolutely amazing... also I love how supportive Marie can be for Hank when he needs it the most. Despite her own issues,, I love how much she cares about his well being.
Agreed!! On both counts.
Upload when you can. No pressure. We understand.
:)
Speak for yourself we need uploads every single day! All the pressure on her and then some! (I am joking).
Don't worry Erica, this definitely isn't the only time you see Saul, and he's just as entertaining in all his appearances!
Good because I loved him hahaha
As always, loved the reaction! I'm soooooo glad that you finally made Saul's acquaintance. He's probably my favorite character in the Breaking Bad universe.
Really looking forward to enjoying your future reactions on the rest of this wild ride.
He’s too funny - I’m glad he seems to be sticking around
omg i hope u watch better call saul afterwards, it’s amazingly well done and my personal fav haha
Hahah I might have to...
As much as I love breaking bad, I love BCS more.
@@PetSymmetry All due respect, recency bias. :) IMO BCS is the only show that comes close to BB. Erica needs to get a mod, I was about to be stupid.
Doug Getchess spoilers kinda not really but Erica don’t read this.
Breaking Bad is 100% the better show, but in my terms of my personal favorites, I think I enjoy BCS more because of the comedy and less intense moments. While I do love a show that pulls on my heartstrings pretty much every episode, it terms of personal rewatch ability and enjoyment, I gotta go with BCS.
@@douggetchess4732 All due respect, nostalgia goggles. See, this can work both ways!
That's an episode to be visited again when you watch better call Saul show
You have to watch Better Call Saul once you finish Breaking Bad & El Camino! If you love Saul now, imagine a whole show with that guy lmao
I honestly don’t know how to top “why don’t you just stab Badger” but I’m sure he will lmao
The opening scene with Badger is so funny
I love it.
"This is so much more intelligence from Badger than I would have expected." Oh, just wait for it....
He generally lets me down lmao
Undercover cops definitely don’t have to tell you if they are cops. Cops interrogating a suspect are also allowed to lie here in the United States.
I think I knew that in the back of my head, but for some reason I did actually think that there was a difference between undercover cops that are in like a formal long-term Sting versus something like this. Obviously I was wrong haha but I did think so
I love that you caught Jane's AA/AN chip so fast, Saul's absurd "pipe hitting" comment, Walt's ambivalence about shanking Badger, and a few other minor things. Just your facial expressions speak volumes. If only we had full length. :)
FWIW, There are a lot of Godfather (and another iconic movie, but no spoilers) homages in this show, some not as obvious as this episode.
Well now I’m curious hahaha I’ll have to wait and see.
@@HeyErica Keepp in mind, I love the nuance of BB, so none of those things could be important, while all may be important, or a mixture of both. When the show was airing, we could go on the internet discuss these perhaps inane things.
Theories were often wrong, but one thing remained true, everything shown on screen has meaning. Sometimes t subplot, others to main plat, and maybe 3 seasons latter. But EVERYTHING means something, and that's what makes BB special to me. GOT came close, but.....
One great new character introduced.. two more great characters soon to come.
That’s great news haha
If you want to see Bob Odenkirk being even more ridiculous you should check out Mr. Show. Peak absurdist sketch comedy.
I’ll have to look into that.
The hated milk machine...possibly the funniest character performance in TV history.
Ooh, I can’t wait for your Patreon! I’d love to see your reactions to the full episodes since there’s a lot of good content that has to get cut for RUclips.
Hopefully it’ll be up soon! :)
Dean Norris (Hank) does a great job throughout this whole series. Really all of them do, particularly Bryan Cranston with such a range of emotions. One of the best written and acted series ever.
The actor that playes the Undercover cop in the beginning's break out role was in a early 2000's in a movie called Roadtrip, should def check it out if you have not seen it
You are going to LOVE this show its the best
It doesn't anymore but for years after this first aired, Saul's phone number worked. You'd get Saul's voicemail. That's true for most phone numbers seen in the show and in Better Call Saul.
That’s so funny! I’m sure someone saved it - will have to go looking when I’m done with the show :)
Saul Goodman's IRL counterpart is Howard Greenberg, Vice did a great video about him.
Ooh interesting!! I’ll have to check that out
You continue to speak ill of one Brandon Mayhew. This is not ideal. Every crew, every person, needs a Badger. No Badger, no Saul, and what is a world without Saul Goodman? A lesser one, no doubt.
Saul is funny - and Badger can be. But he is still my Public Enemy No. 1 for now!!
Better Call Saul is a really good series.
People keep saying that hahah but I don’t want to look it up at all in case of spoilers!
@@HeyErica I understand that. But it has been said by cast members that either series can be watched interchangeably without spoiling anything! That's how they designed it.
Hey Erica. Another great reaction. I been here since the beginning of breaking bad so don’t forget me once you get RUclips famous lol 😝. Cuz trust me in the next 2 years your channel is gonna grow exponentially cuz you react to great shows and you are very relatable and nice and don’t forget pretty as hell lol. But anyway I can’t wait untill you get to the end of season 2 because it goes hard there and keeps going up intensively!! I swear just watch!!!
The first thing Bob Odenkirk said when Vince Gilligan told him about the character of Saul was apparently what his hair should look like. Bob came up with the combover “business mullet” that Saul wears.
Better Call Saul is an awesome show. I highly suggest you watch it once you're done with Breaking Bad. Of course, there's also the Netflix Breaking Bad movie El Camino that you need to watch as well after you're done with BB.
I might have to lmao Saul is hysterical
@@HeyErica When Walt and Jessie take Saul to the desert and pretend they're gonna shoot him, Saul says "Ignacio did it!!" which is a character that you'll get to know in Better Call Saul. They really thought of everything and both shows connect perfectly together.
@@CreepyNeighbor666 That's somewhat a spoiler, but hard to avoid given the promos. :) What is awesome to me is that this wasn't a grand plan, it all birthed in the writers room organically, the writers were as surprised about their character directions as we were, they just had a heads up.
Facts. Better Call Saul is better than Breaking Bad imo.
Saul is a great character. I hope you'll watch better call saul after breaking bad. 😁
But Badger can riverdance! *Everyone* likes riverdancing, right??
I like it less now that I know Badger can 😂😂😂😂😂 kidding
Bob Odenkirk (Saul) started as an improv comic and writer... he was once comedy partners with Conan O'Brian..and both worked on SNL together as writers in the late 80's.. then he was on "The Ben Stiller Show" as a writer and performer in the early 90's which was short lived but became a cult hit... in the mid 90's he and comedian David Cross had a legendary HBO sketch comedy show called "MR. SHOW"... and that's where BB creator Vince Gilligan became a huge fan of him.. he wrote the part of Saul with Bob in mind. Better Call Saul the series is a prequel to Breaking Bad.. and believe it or not.. it's actually equal to and in some ways better than Breaking Bad.
The majority of people under about 40 don't get Saul's D.B.Cooper joke when he sees Walt.
Lol I got the joke :) I like unsolved mysteries though
I think it may also help if you're American, I'm 43 and didn't get it, for instance I guess you've never heard of Harold Shipman! (okay not exactly the same crime, but certainly the same prominence here in the UK).
@@carlhartwell7978 I'm Australian,there was plenty of coverage of Shipman here, He sure had a dodgy bedside manner.
@@jomac2046 Oh okay, fair enough.
Yeah, you could say that, was as evil as they come.
Here in Albuquerque we have a lawyer named Ron Bell who is like the living version of Saul. A dui lawyer picked up for dui. I worked as a background actor on the first few seasons of better call saul and got to meet him a few times. Not the friendliest person on set but sometimes the lead actors aren't. I thought about starting a RUclips channel showing where movie and TV shows were filmed here in New Mexico.
That's so interesting! :) And yeah, I've worked on some sets before (though not that one of course) so I know what you mean.
YAY!!!! YOU MET SAUL!!!!! His character brings the right amount of needed humor to the series!!! You're gonna definitely see why they made a spin off of how he became a lawyer in 'Better Call Saul' which is also as epic; some say even better; than Breaking Bad. I personally like Breaking Bad better hence the continuing unexpected moments. But Better Call Saul is a must see if you enjoy Breaking Bad.
Saul is wild lmao I can’t even imagine what his spinoff must be like
One of those rare times, an actor did so well in the role of a supposed to be one-off character, not only did he become a main character, but he got his own show out of it.
4 episodes away from a whole new level of darkness
Better Call Saul (The Show) is a must watch after you are done with Breaking Bad. Its so good!
Yeah!! Saul is here! He´s the best!
Saul brings a breath of fresh air to BB.
He was great!
this is late but if you don't know what he said at 11:39 he said "I'm always a friend! Always a friend of the Cartel"
It’s only entrapment if the government coerces you to commit a crime you were not already prone to committing (for example, badger already had the drugs so he wasn’t entrapped) and an undercover doesn’t have to tell you he’s a police officer. It’s a very generalized standard. Now if the police officer asked Badger to cook some meth without having knowledge that Badger cooks meth or has anything to do with meth- and then he busts Badger when he does what the officer told him then that’s entrapment. But even then.. some courts have held that’s not entrapment either especially on the Federal side of the law. It’s a very broad standard that they use.
BCS is a great show, u will Luv it... Ozark is unbelievable too.
If Saul is the Star I bet it’s hilarious
Ozark for sure, and couple underrated shows I enjoy are Boardwalk Empire an True Detective
I highly recommend Better Call Saul series after you have watched Breaking Bad! Gotta love Saul!
Just caught up and watched all your breaking bad reactions and I'm excited for more!
Saul Is One of the Greatest!! 😎
He is truly a wild individual lmao.
My man Saul😁
He’s hilarious!
@@HeyErica it thrills me you get a kick outta him. You be sure and watch BCS down the road. Even if it's just for you. Really really good. Writing is superb. They made me hate one dude more than I've ever hated any character.
@Джон Таргариен she may not wanna say to avoid spoilers for better call Saul.
Don't think its entrapment if he has a large quantity of drugs on him to begin with. A lawyer would have to argue that their client would never have normally committed the crime if someone didn't talk them into it.
I do take issue with the undercover cop immediately pulling the gun out. Badger showed no aggression, no record of violent crime nor had a weapon that was visable. Cops need a reason to pull and point a gun.
Yeah -- in my head, it was more that he flagrantly lied to him about a cop's duty to disclose (or lack thereof) but I also realize that isn't at all the legal definition of entrapment. I was just thinking out loud haha :)
13:16 Cutest snort I've ever heard.
U make my day every video😁 thank u
:)
Saul is great, especially the first time we see him. He really is a "Criminal Lawyer"
It's good to see that hank was a long for that bust and able to pull.it together to do a bit of work
I think walt's words really did have an effect on him about fear but thanks problems definitely need furthering attention. Do you think that with Jane being a recovering addict and Jesse using Meth from time to time and other drugs but also manufacturing meth, do you think that will be a turnoff for Jane Eventually. Her knowing that he is basically feeding other addicts and making money off it?
Also do you think she will encourage jesse to get clean himself?
great reaction! subscribed
Thank you!
Your love for Badger knows no bounds...
My forever nemesis ❤️
@@HeyErica Badger is awesome.
Badger, uggg. He's that guy that never takes anything seriously. He frustrates the hell out of you and you have to scream at him to get through. Then, you feel bad for screaming at him and wanna comfort him. But, a week later...you're shaking your head again wondering why you hang out with him.
@@dusty3913 Not if you're really stoned.
You put Badger down now, but just you wait: as the show goes on and he learns more life lessons and grows as a character, you're gonna see some surprising hidden talents & perceptiveness start to show...., Naw, I'm just messing with ya, some people are just always gonna be Badger.
Hahahaha you had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
Also gonna let that Patriots gear in the closet slide since this is such a good episode!
Lmaooo sorry -- raised 35 minutes from Gillette Stadium. I am a big fan.
Love your hair girl!
ianal the whole "Po-po don't lie" is fiction it's a tv trope
Great reaction
He sold NACHO right down the river
Haha! Told ya you'd know when you met him😂
You were definitely right hahaha
The series "Better Call Saul" is nowhere near as compelling and as intense as "Breaking Bad" is -- it's all just a personal opinion, of course, but "Breaking Bad" will always be my favorite of the two series. However, BCS is a good show -- worth watching, for sure -- but it's an investment of 5 seasons so far (Season 6 will be the final one), and some of those earlier seasons are very slow (like a long montage of someone making phone calls, for example). BCS starts to pick up some steam in Season 3 and beyond... when it becomes more like Breaking Bad!
Show time!
Saul is a performance of his own lmao.
@@HeyErica he is indeed
Seriously better call Saul is a great show. But definitely dont watch it or look anything up on it til after you finish breaking bad. I think youd really like it. Saul is a great character. He's not my favorite but I do like him a lot.
Jesse telling badger "wrong guy kther brnch" cracks me up. That whole scene was funny to me. Lol.
Hank doesnt seem to buy it. Definitely isnt as stuoid as they hope he is... Well maybe lol. Ok.
Another great reaction. Be safe girlie
Are those the actual vans that Badger was pointing out?
I think so lmao he almost had them!!!
@@HeyErica Hey, I just notIced that the showrunners were having fun with us. Before Badger gets busted, he said, "Duke City Flowers? Come on!". And later when the cops bust the fake Heisenberg, at 15:25 of your reaction, they make a point of using the exact same vans but this time with Duke City Flowers right in our faces.
@@chulavista5239 Ooh I love that!!! Good catch.
Saul brings humour to this perfect show.
Yes, this episode is relatively important for Better Call Saul series.
Things I told you to remember in earlier episodes are for this series.
I'll tell you the small details from here and in later episodes when you plan to watch it.
When was this pole announced prior to this? I don't recall hearing about it till now, went to vote for movies and found I already lost before I got to vote. I think Republican and Democrats would both like to hire you in November.
The first poll was only announced via text - I mentioned it in a community post prior to releasing it, but not in a video. Sorry about that. The current poll is ongoing.
@@HeyErica I've got my Bell set for "all notifications" but I never get anything saying that there has been a "community post" (this is true across the board, I never see anyone's community post). I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what. Anyway, kinda bummed, but no biggie. I'll still drop by for the Breaking Bad.
Your channel is really good, I’m enjoying it, but uh... you’re straight up gorgeous.
Erica, I still can't ring the bell. :-(
I’m honestly not sure why! :(
Maybe it's a setting on my account. I'll check into it on my end.
