@@ertihug4897 You'd be surprised. Fast food commercials (ANY food commercial) is remarkably expensive to produce. The budget for a whole Breaking Bad episode or three may go into just one commercial. But they managed to replicate it quite well here for a small fraction of the budget.
I love the fact that Gus have created a legitimate fried chicken business only as a cover up. I mean it's something that would already take a life time to achieve and sustain but he does that on the side, just to relax when he's not selling drugs.
1:47 I just realized the reason why they pass it through the curtain instead of just giving it to the shipment guy is so that he doesnt know which barrel has the blue in it, and is thus one less loose end in case the cops ever stop him.
The curtain is there for food safety, or at least, the appearance of such. The sauce is actually real, they might even still use the sauce after moving the product, so they have to generally keep it as clean as possible. It reaches its location and is then removed, and then truck goes on to actually deliver the sauce. The reason being is they can't exactly create twice the amount of sauce production without raising suspicion if someone were to ever look closer, and that would also be an extra expense. The trucks have to appear normal, so they have to actually distribute the sauce in case anyone is investigating them.
IIrc there were several events where some fast food places actually imitated Los Pollos Hermanos to promote new seasons of Breaking Bad or Better Call Sau.
@@Garbageman28 They’ve had to, otherwise it would be hard trying to think of a whole corporation for Gustavo really in a short deadline frame. They must’ve thoroughly pieced in the beginning of Gus
I’m kinda surprised that Los Pollos Hermanos hasn’t been made into an actual restaurant chain. Bubba Gump from Forest Gump was made into a restaurant chain, Los Pollos Hermanos could easily be made a actual thing.
Doesn't necessarily need to be a chain. But if it had ONE location, accurate to the set in the show, it would get tons of visitors and tourists! And Gus could make an appearance literally whenever he wanted!
@@davidguthrie6316 I'm genuinely surprised that Twisters (the real-life location used for the set) hasn't re-branded as Los Pollos Hermanos. Seriously - imagine sitting on that level of brand recognition and marketing and just... not.
Kudos to Skip MacDonald and the editing team for making montages like this, they never miss a musical beat as well in both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
They don't miss a single detail in this show!!!! U could literally make a entire series as long as the actual show is just explaining all the details & how everything in the show comes full circle!!!! It's the most calculated show ever made & they did it while they were filming on location so it's basically off the top of their heads!!!!! This show is a masterpiece in every single way possible ❤
The visual work of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is just mesmerizing to watch. The way the hammer hits on the bucket top lines up with the percussion in the music, man. I love BCS but If they ever made a Los Pollos Hermanos prequel on Gustavo and how he made his chicken empire it would go nuts.
“Hey Gus, I found a bag of blue broken glass in this jar of fry batter. I threw it away, it’s not a big deal right?” “Step into my office. Let me get my box cutter.”
"Listen to me now and listen carefully. You go out now. Not tomorrow, not after your work, now and bring that bag of broken glass back. Then you will return to your work and at some point in future, you will forget about this conversation and you will carry on with your life."
fr tho I feel like gus would not take it out on the employee. he always made a point to be super cordial and respectful towards his Los pollos hermanos employees to keep up that excellent reputation. now as for whoever packed that batter.... 😬
I know. Visited the filming location for the restaurant in New Mexico. It was really cool being in there but unfortunately serves pretty subpar tacos instead of delicious chicken.
Genius. One of the best BB intros. I love the transition between the surface and undercover trade at LPH, with the music linking them both with a consistent thread.

I’ve always been impressed with Gus’ ability to have this many people on his payroll all of whom know his secret identity and keeping it a secret for this long. I mean, even the low level mooks that drive his trucks and pack his product know the truth.
This scene represented how good everything could've been. All Walt (and Jesse) had to do was cook and not get in over their heads and they could've made as much as they ever wanted, just like Mike said. Who knows what could've happened, Walt mixed with Gus and Lydia would've been absolutely unstoppable, and if it weren't for the Hank - book scene they likely would've never been caught.
I really hope this is a joke comment and not just an oblivious assumption. Gus was trying to replace Walter with Gale because he knew Gale would be obedient but Walt was power hungry.

Edit: Even if Walt didn’t run over the 2 drug dealers, and Gus didn’t think of him as a threat, that would still result in Jesse’s death, since it was a two-against-one gunfight. So there was still never an option for Walt and Jesse to “keep their heads down” and continue working for Gus. Either one of them would end up dead.
@@wu2166 I mean if Walt wasn't so power hungry to the point where Gus was considering a replacement in the first place, that would have been the ideal scenario for Walt.
1X6 episode intro will always be the best intro , no just best breaking bad into but best intro in tv history , watch it with your ear phones and let me know how it js
He hates his job. He doesn't even bother to properly close the containers. Its that point in the show where he is genuinely dissatisfied with all the wealth he has made for himself. Which kicks him into another gear. He wants more. There isn't enough money in the world to satisfy him because ultimately it is his ego that he wants to feed.
I love how this scenes combines Walts trademark, the Blue sky with Gus trademark, the Los Pollos chicken, its like their genius creations fused together make this masterpiece of an empire
I wish more ppl would realize that!!!!! This montage is basically Gus at his peak of his empire & the Crystal Blue Persuasion montage in season 5 is basically Heisenberg at his peak of his empire !!!!! Together they make the worlds two greatest montages in TV history ❤
the first time i watched this, i kept rewinding it because of how brilliantly it was shot. the tune that plays in this is veneno by chuy flores, if anyone wants to know.
Canonically, Los Pollos Hermanos is really well run and sells genuinely good chicken. If Gus had just focused on his legitimate business rather than on the drugs, he could have had the next KFC on his hands and made billions.
Could've been better by dropping all the chicken first then rain the salt then the salt turns blue then all the blue just falls on that basket and there boom transition but instead it was only a fade which is all they could do back then because of limited editing but still looked cool at the time so it works
In the little village where I was born, life moved at a slower pace, yet felt all the richer for it. There, my two uncles were known far and wide for their delicious cooking. They seasoned their zesty chicken using only the freshest herbs and spices. People call them Los Pollos Hermanos: the chicken brothers. Today we carry on their tradition in a manner that would make my uncles proud. The finest ingredients are brought together with love and care, then slow cooked to perfection. Yes, the old ways are still best at Los Pollos Hermanos. But don’t take my word for it. One taste, and you’ll know.
I think it’s some kinda flint corn. It loses its color when fried, but it helps to give the seasoning a nice sweet undertone that compliments the chicken.
The Los Pollos Hermanos chicken looked sooo delicious especially after finishing Better Call Saul weeks ago!! And it was really nice to see the methamphetamine scenes with Walter and Jessie again later!!! I crave that fried chicken Soo much!!
"slow cooked to perfection" overtop falling fried chicken still makes me laugh to this day also, there's a lot of overhead at this drug packing plant, I'm pretty sure you don't need at least 3 or 4 of those guys on the line
@@Sheikh_Speare It's true... although you know what, I think he did mention at some point that he visits an old friend on days like this, so I'm sure he's just busy reminiscing.
All the sound effects of them working to the music all perfectly synced together is supposed to be the symphony of clockwork & performance & perfection Gus actually created throughout the decades 💯 This should be titled "Gustavo's Symphony"
You know it's just really cool, all the same. All details in this show. For example, this "ad" says that Los pollos hermanos is from Mexico, despite Gus being the founder. Gus was born in Chile
Another reason to appreciate BCS is showing how Gus got to the point he officially had his drug empire. In BB, it was said Gus had been doing it for 20 years and building his own distribution over that time but most of the time he was under the Cartel’s thumb with his influence growing with the Salamanca operation declining, the Cartel relying more on Gus, Gus constructing the Superlab, Gus running the North Valley under Bolsa’s supervision. With production on his territory and causing pressure on the Cartel by having the Cousins and Bolsa killed, Gus officially had his drug empire. That’s why the Cartel attacked his trucks in Season 4 and wanted Gus to work for them again which resulted in Gus destroying the Cartel. Final step was Lydia’s idea with the Czech Republic but Gus died before it could be finalised. Walt went on to use Lydia’s idea for his own drug empire, which is why Walt’s operation is considered bigger than Gus’ operation.
when i found this, i was expecting a normal historical cooking show. but instead i got the to see the best cooking show with a beautiful process while eating my dinner
I still can't tell which Breaking Bad Montage i like better , this or season 5 crystal blue persuasion montage!!!!! Both are so perfect ❤ This is Gus's montage & that one is Walts montage in my opinion because its literally both of them being on top with everything in their empires running like clockwork!!!!! Both montages also could make perfect commercials & trailers to get new ppl interested in watching the show also ❤
The one thing I always loved about this is that, drug manufacturing montage aside, the commercial makes Los Pollos Hermanos look like some juicy rotisserie chicken restaurant rather than a sparsely decorated yellow Popeyes.
I remember there was a pollería (chicken shop) in my neighborhood, and around 2012 they changed their name and image to that of "Los Pollos Hermanos" it was shut down in 2 weeks.
If u been here since 2007 when they showed the very first trailer to the show a year before it ever got started , you're life definitely witnessed everything slow cooked to perfection & you're life changed since then❤ Goosebumps all the way forward since then💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 Thus scene definitely brings those moments all back ten fold ❤
You know, for a fictional restaurant, Los Pollos Hermanos has some really good ads. They actually make their chicken seem delicious.
With spicy new sauce called Blue Magic!
binging with babish did a recreation(I think with the recipe the showrunners provided) and it did look amazingly delicious.
It is delicious, i go there with my gf every sunday but my only complaint is that one day I found a blue crystal on my order. Dont know what it was tho.

This is forever the best Breaking Bad intro
1X6 episode intro will always be the best intro , no just best breaking bad into but best intro in tv history , watch it with your ear phones and let me know how it js
The intro with "LOS CUATES DE SINALOA" is good as well.
@@nahoManshirKna it's not touching this one I'm sorry
I just Noticed that if you stop at 1:12 you can see the glove is ripped.
Its weird that this made it into the final cut. Maybe it was on purpose, to show that not everything is perfect?
@@bedecktKnowing the strictness of everyone considering they’re all doing something highly illegal, I’m honestly unsure.
That one got taken out back and "dealt with"
0:27 today we carry on their tradition in a manner that would make my uncles *disgusted*
😂😂😂😂
Facts 😂😂😂
I have absolutely no clue what it is, but Walt's slight head tilt as he moves the containers to that music is just... oddly pleasing and satisfying.
He hates his job. He doesn't even bother to properly close the containers. Its that point in the show where he is genuinely dissatisfied with all the wealth he has made for himself. Which kicks him into another gear. He wants more. There isn't enough money in the world to satisfy him because ultimately it is his ego that he wants to feed.
It's sad to realize most fried chicken restaurants today aren't up to pollos standards
I love the disclosure at the bottom: “Los Pollos Hermanos is a registered trademark of Madrigal Electromotive” 😂
Matching that mallet to the music was a stroke of editing genius.
I just realized that Chick Fell a might be the biggest drug operation
I especially love the Blue Salt on the table at Los Pollos Hermanos. Really adds the flavour!
It's so high, isn't it?
@@angelocoll7802 oddly satisfying.
one of the best intro in Breaking Bad
"slow cooked to perfection"
*cuts from rotisserie to fried chicken"
Seems legit.
“One taste and you will know“
“Tight! Tight tight!”
I love how this scenes combines Walts trademark, the Blue sky with Gus trademark, the Los Pollos chicken, its like their genius creations fused together make this masterpiece of an empire
I wish more ppl would realize that!!!!! This montage is basically Gus at his peak of his empire & the Crystal Blue Persuasion montage in season 5 is basically Heisenberg at his peak of his empire !!!!! Together they make the worlds two greatest montages in TV history ❤
I legit thought this was a real ad when I first watched it…
the first time i watched this, i kept rewinding it because of how brilliantly it was shot.
the tune that plays in this is veneno by chuy flores, if anyone wants to know.
Thx i was wondering what the name of the song was
Thank you.
I've been replaying it since 2012
The crystal rain transition and the hammer sync is just perfect
I love the way the sound effects are in beat of the song
I love how Gus was just chillin at the end. Prolly thinking: “good bye drugs, off ya go into the world!”
Canonically, Los Pollos Hermanos is really well run and sells genuinely good chicken. If Gus had just focused on his legitimate business rather than on the drugs, he could have had the next KFC on his hands and made billions.
That's a good point, and another way he was similar to Walt - both passed up legitimate business that would have made them just as rich
I don't know why, maybe because the transitions are amazing in this scene, it will always remain one of my favorites. Bravo Vince !
0:48 best transition ever
Could've been better by dropping all the chicken first then rain the salt then the salt turns blue then all the blue just falls on that basket and there boom transition but instead it was only a fade which is all they could do back then because of limited editing but still looked cool at the time so it works
Looks like candy
In the little village where I was born, life moved at a slower pace, yet felt all the richer for it. There, my two uncles were known far and wide for their delicious cooking. They seasoned their zesty chicken using only the freshest herbs and spices. People call them Los Pollos Hermanos: the chicken brothers. Today we carry on their tradition in a manner that would make my uncles proud. The finest ingredients are brought together with love and care, then slow cooked to perfection. Yes, the old ways are still best at Los Pollos Hermanos. But don’t take my word for it. One taste, and you’ll know.
That’s crazy i had no idea the seasoning they use for the chicken is blue, that’s kinda wild
I think it’s some kinda flint corn. It loses its color when fried, but it helps to give the seasoning a nice sweet undertone that compliments the chicken.
The Los Pollos Hermanos chicken looked sooo delicious especially after finishing Better Call Saul weeks ago!! And it was really nice to see the methamphetamine scenes with Walter and Jessie again later!!! I crave that fried chicken Soo much!!
As one of the daily Los Pollos Hermanos customers. I can confirm this is the way to make our fine chicken
"slow cooked to perfection" overtop falling fried chicken still makes me laugh to this day
also, there's a lot of overhead at this drug packing plant, I'm pretty sure you don't need at least 3 or 4 of those guys on the line
Take it up with Gus, I'm sure he'll appreciate your input on how to run his business.
@@Sheikh_Speare He's not returning my calls for some reason.
@@artstsym odd, the man is very punctual. 🤔
@@Sheikh_Speare It's true... although you know what, I think he did mention at some point that he visits an old friend on days like this, so I'm sure he's just busy reminiscing.
@@artstsym You have legitimate criticism but he can't face up to it.
All the sound effects of them working to the music all perfectly synced together is supposed to be the symphony of clockwork & performance & perfection Gus actually created throughout the decades 💯
This should be titled "Gustavo's Symphony"
This is weirdly satisfying.
Also this background music is better than it has to be.
How nice of Gus Fring to authorize a glass disposal business in the basement of his properties. It protects everyone
You know it's just really cool, all the same. All details in this show. For example, this "ad" says that Los pollos hermanos is from Mexico, despite Gus being the founder. Gus was born in Chile
Another reason to appreciate BCS is showing how Gus got to the point he officially had his drug empire.
In BB, it was said Gus had been doing it for 20 years and building his own distribution over that time but most of the time he was under the Cartel’s thumb with his influence growing with the Salamanca operation declining, the Cartel relying more on Gus, Gus constructing the Superlab, Gus running the North Valley under Bolsa’s supervision.
With production on his territory and causing pressure on the Cartel by having the Cousins and Bolsa killed, Gus officially had his drug empire.
That’s why the Cartel attacked his trucks in Season 4 and wanted Gus to work for them again which resulted in Gus destroying the Cartel.
Final step was Lydia’s idea with the Czech Republic but Gus died before it could be finalised.
Walt went on to use Lydia’s idea for his own drug empire, which is why Walt’s operation is considered bigger than Gus’ operation.
And it all ran like clockwork.
anybody know the song?
when i found this, i was expecting a normal historical cooking show. but instead i got the to see the best cooking show with a beautiful process while eating my dinner
The fictional commercial is so much better than the real ads.
Gus is legit probably one of the best Restauranteur’s ever.
Dude has a standard for quality and he sticks too it.
Studio Ghibli always makes food look delicious.
I still can't tell which Breaking Bad Montage i like better , this or season 5 crystal blue persuasion montage!!!!! Both are so perfect ❤
This is Gus's montage & that one is Walts montage in my opinion because its literally both of them being on top with everything in their empires running like clockwork!!!!!
Both montages also could make perfect commercials & trailers to get new ppl interested in watching the show also ❤
The editing to make this show and even the video… amazing. Everything was so goddamn smooth, even the outro.
With every single Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul video, I come to realize just how badly Walter messed everything up and how right Mike was
One of the best cold openings ever
I absolutely love the music in this scene.
“And it all ran like clockwork” -Mike
The one thing I always loved about this is that, drug manufacturing montage aside, the commercial makes Los Pollos Hermanos look like some juicy rotisserie chicken restaurant rather than a sparsely decorated yellow Popeyes.
I remember there was a pollería (chicken shop) in my neighborhood, and around 2012 they changed their name and image to that of "Los Pollos Hermanos" it was shut down in 2 weeks.
I think Gus took Los Pollos Hermanos serious. Not just as a cover, but as a genuine business
Gus was a perfectionist, that characteristic transferred to everything he did
Would’ve been amazing if they just aired this straight up in the super bowl commercial break as a trailer for season 3
My friend hated me for watching this show because he didn't know what it was about so I showed him this scene like a trailer & he instantly got hooked
@@MLawrence-z9k why would he hate you for that?
Gus looking off at the trucks you can see how proud he is of his operation
If u been here since 2007 when they showed the very first trailer to the show a year before it ever got started , you're life definitely witnessed everything slow cooked to perfection & you're life changed since then❤
Goosebumps all the way forward since then💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thus scene definitely brings those moments all back ten fold ❤
"What do you do for work?"
"Oh, I work for Los Pollos Hermanos and weigh drugs into bags."
