      I just enjoyed how humbling he was every show he talked about. Even the way he talked about getting the chance to show up in one of episode of Seinfeld. He didn’t know the show was popular or would be that popular, yet tried to do his best and respected the vibe the regular cast had amongst one another. Most people when they talk about guest staring on Seinfeld say they hated working on the show because the team was so tight nit and made it very hard to fit in

It could be so simple like Keanu and Halle are walking through an airport or something and Bob walks the opposite way and Keanu's like "Hey Hutch" and Bob says "Hey John". Halle follows up with "who was that?" Keanu: "Nobody". Bonus points if the scene is in the sequel to Nobody too but follows Bob's perspective. Please for the love of God let this happen.

    It is actually amazing what he (and Gilligan of course) made with BCS. You would think it is just a lighthearted spinoff but they made the whole character arc even more engaging and complex than Walter White. Whether the scene is more comedic, dramatic, emotional or suspenseful Bob kills it every time.

    • @supertoyg
      @supertoyg 2 года назад +44

      Technically speaking, Breaking Bad as a whole was likely easier to write than BCS. BB is mostly a bang-bang crime story where the central character has an interesting development arc, most of which happens in the first two seasons (unsurprisingly the less popular ones - it got popular when they added more bang-bang). Whereas BCS is a series of character studies that slowly evolve into a crime story, almost as an accessory, an afterthought. People will remember BB but BCS is the real masterpiece, and I hope they manage to finish it once Odenkirk gets well.

      I think _Nobody_ is the film _John Wick_ tried to be, or at least should've been. While the JW quadrilogy was awesome, it was founded on a ridiculously bombastic premise (a world where 33% of the population are assassins and bounty hunters? C'mon...). _Nobody_ had more fun with what was ultimately the same premise, but one that was more grounded and *somewhat* believable.

    So crazy to think the first thing I saw him in was Tim & Eric. He's had such a varied career, great versatile comedic and dramatic actor.

    Loved Bob in Undone....that was a very moving, and dramatically underrated show with a unique animation style.
    Highly recommend it to those who don't know about it.

    Hutch Mansel sounds like a name of a Mr. Show character.

    I have binge watched Better Call Saul this year, and has been one of the best decisions I've made, I put it off for so long, which I shouldn't have! I don't want it to end

    Sweet, raspy voice. Loved it ever since hearing "Winston Deaver" in *Incredibles 2.* He sounds half his age. ❤❤

      I was thinking the same, there's something about him that causes empathy , he reminds me of my dad and i don't even know why
