Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

I always loved how Jimmy was genuinely upset over "running over" a random guy and then immediately realized it was a scam
Umm... he set up the scam
and he dodged it with Nacho's help. Because Tucco would have killed them all

@@perseusgaming7397 cash is never given away, Saul always keeps it. The only transaction made here is the fake Rolex for the $580 in the guys pocket. Given that it's a $20 chinese knock off I think it's a pretty good profit margin.

Saul tells the copier kid "di di mau" which is vietnamese for "hurry up". That's just great writing knowing his office is back of a nail salon.
Ooh, thanks for sharing its meaning. I remember Sgt. Osiris saying it in Tropic Thunder. I used to think it was just some gibberish for comedy.

Yup lol
It wasn't his though, it was Kim's scheme
Wait what? What season was this I dont remember that lol
"We got a couple of charter buses!"
That was the best one.

One of my favorite aspects of the show is that they really focus on the work and grind that Jimmy puts into his schemes. There’s a lot of meticulous set-up to the perfect situations that Jimmy pretends to stumble into. As smooth and creative as Jimmy is, he’s also a hard-worker who puts in the time.
Chuck even admitted that Jimmy was not lazy enough to slack off on such a big scam. " nobody ever accused you of being lazy. every other sin in the book, but not that one. " Jimmy McGill is the embodiment of " go big or go home. "
@@taylorschott4659 Chuck was prideful, envious, and unforgiving. Who was the bigger sinner?
@@beatlecristian lol Saul never changed from slipping Jimmy, why should Chuck forgive him. Even he admits that it wouldn't be him if he wasn't cutting corners. And sure, as it's a series it's normal to root for Jimmy, however if this was real life, you wouldn't want a lawyer like this to exist. Getting lalo out of jail by making up everything, even though he murdered a kid. Chuck was in the right saying Jimmy was a like a monkey with a revolver, however he should have hired Jimmy and supervised him instead of letting him evolve into Saul.
Yeah the part where he reattach all the destroyed paperwork gave me anxiety for real
@@It-s-me-P Chuck is the one who made Jimmy the person he is today, none of this would be happening if he had given even the tiniest amount of support for him.
When I first watched this, when Marco got up behind Jimmy I thought that he was about to attack him from behind. I was so relieved to see that they were friends.
It's a classic reference to the Sting - the fat guy's ID is the same name as one of the main characters of the Sting.
@@nealmp Great catch, I hadn't noticed that! The address is also Luther St., referencing Luther Coleman, another character (played by James Earl Jones' father, Robert Earl Jones)

Despite Sauls reputation as a fool, he's still incredibly cunning and smart and thats whats probably the most dangerous thing about him Edit: By "reputation as a fool" I mean in the universe of the show
He's also got surprisingly good work ethic
When exactly did Saul have a reputation as a fool?
@@rohansaji1082 the entirety of BB, with Walt downplaying him, people mocking his commercials, chucks minimization of him, etc
He’s definitely no fool at all.
@@ninjapancake9 He cultivates that reputation.
Seeing Jimmy be an ethical credit to his friends and others is heartwarming... but it's always fun to watch him "slip"
Both figuratively and 15:32 literally
I dont understand how does that watch scam works, since they are the one giving away money by dropping wallet with cash !!
@@perseusgaming7397 Because they keep the wallet with cash and the person who takes the watch will always give Jimmy a few of their own dollars in cash to convince him to let them take the watch.
@@perseusgaming7397 the watch isn’t worth anything, but they make it seem like it is because the dudes wallet had so much cash on him so he must be rich right? So when they take the watch from jimmy he’s like well then I want some money in return. The person then gives the wallet back, and will most likely give some more money to make the trade “fair”. That extra money is what they’re scamming for
Slippin' Jimmy
"You guys have liability insurance, right?" Killed me 😂😂
After this they went bankrupt and went on to work for Ari Gold, who then fired them. These guys can't make it in any business.
Most important thing for a business, people wanna sure you.
The most satisfying scene in the show. Those bastards deserved it
@@sickboy6477 The lawsuit alone would have cost them at least 50k, not including all their court fees then there's their lawyer fees.
@@METALMAN4Wii And they could have saved all that if they were willing to accomplish their promises
10:25 Jimmy had such a raw natural talent, not everyone could have pulled off something this elaborate or bothered to put in the time to do it right. And he's doing this while Chuck is SLEEPING, so he's working against an unknown timer to swap hundreds of pages. Chuck and Jimmy could've been a hell of a lawyer duo, if only the former let go of the hatred in his heart.
Chuck was completely right though.
Family and work/business don't go together usually.
They would never do good together, Chuck wouldn't say yes to any of Jimmy's methods
@@JonatasAdoM Worked pretty good for Hamlin, Hamlin and McGill.
@@JonatasAdoM At least you need to give it a try. Everything else is just heartless imo.
The address change on the copies is so intricate and obsessive it really speaks to how much running his cons is something he gets a personal thrill from. Helping Kim is just a bonus.
And Chuck still caught him in the end. Jimmy might be good but his brother is better.
@@CJonesApple Through emotional manipulation. Chuck is a fake fuck who's the whole reason behind Jimmy's downward spiral after he had the perfect shot at a normal and healthy life. Chuck in the end got what he deserved. A bittersweet victory for Jimmy, but a victory nevertheless.
@@CJonesApple I've always wondered that, anyone in the world would think that they made a mistake but not Chuck, not chuck
In reality the changed numbers would stick out like a sore thumb because the photocopier would pick up the shadow and contour of the tiny pieces of paper. He would have needed software to touch up the tiny details.
@@buca9696 is it reality? Nope it's not so stfu and enjoy
I remember another episode where they do that Rolex con one last time and Marco dies. "This was the greatest week of my life..." that was saddest moment in this series for me.
Hard to make a friend like that in this life; harder still when you lose them.
Agreed
That was a sad episode
Him and Huell are, and forever will be my favorite characters in probably any TV show, movie, book, anything
yo can someone post the fucking link already? i've asked multiple times and i do not have time to sift through hundreds of hours of footage to find it?
Better Call Saul is essentially Jimmy's journey of 'breaking bad'. Walter was an underachieving loser with an inferiority complex, but still an innate ego problem, who broke down into crime out of necessity and became a cold monster through his journey while trying to survive in that world. While Saul was a jolly soulful person, trying to redeem himself, not waste his life away, struggling to succeed, make his brother proud, be a good man and be happy, he breaks bad slowly because of betrayal and abandonment from his brother, constantly having his victories stolen and being judged/shamed for his personality and past. Walter's story is way more dramatic and of higher stakes but Jimmy's is so much more relatable. Season 6 is going to be a heavy tragedy.
I don't know why so many people say jimmy was like he was because of chuck. The first thing we see in chronolohical order is jimmy stealing from his parents. Was it chuck's fault? Was he that made him Slippin'Jimmy and a professional conman in Cicero? Was chuck who made him organize all that scam when he ended up at tuco's abuelita's house? Or the other hustles with the kettlemans? Or the fake saving of the man who was removing his poster? Was chuck the one who made him make the video commercial at Davis&Main withouth asking permission? Chuck was right, he is like a chimp with a macchine gun. The law is attempt to make things right indipendently of the strongest or the smarter, and Jimmy is like a virus in the system. Chuck just did what a person who perfectly knew he was never gonna change would have done.
@@Acusticheusate Jimmy was notorious in his childhood and youth, but after he went to jail for the Chicago Sunroof incident (which he did only to hurt Chet, who slept with his wife), he was more than ready to better himself. He was grateful to Chuck for helping him and he turned down Marco for trying to get him into conning again. He worked hard in the mailroom, worked his ass off learning law and passed the BAR all on his own because he really meant to be good lawyer just like his brother. It was Chuck who made Howard reject him over and over again, and Chuck always tried to steal chances away from Jimmy because he was jealous of him. Had Jimmy been given positive reinforcement for his hardwork and commitment, he would've been better. But he was treated like "you'll never be good no matter how much you try, we just don't trust you." When you do that someone, they just can't get better.
Noooo really???
Walter always had a superiority complex.
@@Acusticheusate you arent wrong, but I think you're missing an important wrinkle in all of this...the law isn't actually about serving justice, it's about protecting the person with the most money. Saul recognized it and took advantage of it the same way a conman with connections will do 10 times out of 10
"Hey man, we're not buttholes" best line in the series
“Oh, my mistake. Have a good evening gentlemen.”
10:02 He just brings those college film students into every big scheme he does, doesn’t he? He’s going to turn them into a force to be reckoned with

I like to think that they stuck with him all the way up to filming his commercials that we see in Breaking Bad.
The Mesa Verde was really called for. They threw Kim under the bus, stole her client and acted like it was all just business. JImmy is the friend everyone needs in their life.
Yup!

5:58 when he got up, it scared me 😂 I thought he was gonna mess Saul up. I was pretty hurt when his friend died that episode
His friend was pretty awesome. I kind of wish he could have been a regular. I loved it when he told Jimmy that him giving up the con was like Miles Davis giving up the trumpet.
Yup, I thought he was gonna get his ass kicked HARD with that roundhouse kick and then maybe they use it as a moment of character development for him.
His death probably has the second biggest impact on Jimmy following Chuck's. With how he still kept wearing his ring and all.
Thought the same with the billboard guy. Didnt realize it was a setup... even after immediatly the guy saying it took him long enough. Lol
11:04 This is the exact moment when 1261 became 1216, flawless writing
Why did he do that thou?
@@pedropradacarciofi2517 they were his brothers documents. He changed an obvious address his brother should know in order to make him look more mentally unstable.

@@CousinBowling wrong. He did it so Mersa verde will drop HHM to go back to Kim
@@fabiii9954 that was another motive. He needed to get Chuck to back down on his incessant meddling and wanting to expose Jimmy.
15:32 Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that, NO! HE ORCHESTRATED IT! JIMMY!
HE DEFACATED THROUGH A SUNROOF!!!
Chuck's right, nobody could say Jimmy isn't a hard worker. 😂 The copyshop scam took a mind-blowing amount of time and concentration to make those docs primo.
And on top of that he was under a time limit
“Nobody ever accused you of being lazy jimmy … every other sin in the book but that!”- chuck
Also, I LOVE how Bob plays the moment Jimmy realizes it’s a rip off, at 1:03 His posture turns completely relaxed and his breathing slows, and he smiles very briefly bc he’s seems a bit impressed that they almost played him. But then he plays along for a few more moments bc he’s now interested in what their price will be.

@@Punkdebutique wondering why it sounded like the intro
I love how impressed the acting students are whenever Jimmy does a con lmao
The fact that Jimmy nearly broke down in tears after hitting that kid honestly made me so sad I hate seeing grown men cry or seem like they're going to
Fact remains that everyone cries at some point, even men. My dad cried two times that I saw: 1. When my sister was being a c**t and cut him out of her life for a while, and 2. When his wife died. Man or woman, that doesn't matter, as there are times when it's okay and appropriate to cry, regardless of your gender.
If that really happens to someone, there’s a brief moment of obscurity where you’re unsure what happened, but you know you may have just ended a life.
Exactly, makes me hate the twins even more. Imagine all the emotional turmoil theyve put people through :( they got off easy with their broken legs

15:32 The way he ate shit so hard on that fall made me gasp, even when I saw what he was planning a mile away.
I can't tell if it's sped up to make it more brutal or if they swapped in a stunt double (which is probably more likely since he really hit his back first legs up) it just looked really good
@@SloneStudios it must have been a stunt double but it was pretty seamless. CGI maybe?
@@dielaughing73 Yep
@@dielaughing73 It looked like a digital double. It has some serious Uncanny Valley vibes.
@@Durwood71 pretty sure I've since heard a commentary track where they explained they used CGI to stitch together one take of Bob and one of a stuntman. I think they said there were two or three frames they fudged a bit so that probably explains if it looks slightly off. Still pretty good for TV though

I actually found better call saul better than Breaking bad. This is an actual genius creation.
Same, though I thank it may just because Saul/Jimmy is a more likeable lead for me
It’s very difficult to compete with BB on virtually any conceivable level.
Same. I especially loved how Chuck got what was coming to him.
BB really liked to jump the shark at times which made the story seam unrealistic along with Jesse, Walt JR, and Skylar relentlessly disowning Walt. All the most interesting characters in BB were killed off and Better Call Saul got rid of the lacking characters and brought back the best. Also the whole ricin plotline was convoluted and poorly written.
@@kyle4345 there’s a reason breaking bad is close too or is the highest rated television show of all time. Opinions are good though. Hard to argue facts however
For those who wondering what Jimmy said at 10:17. He spoke in Vietnamese "Đi đi mau = Hurry up", as we all knew his Law office were in the back of the Vietnamese Nails Salon.
This makes me want to binge through the show again..
Nvr stopped binge watching it
@@itsbekenotbecky man idk if it was the good weed i was smoking while watching it, or if the show was just that damn good, i suspect the latter, but the entire structure of the show is goddamn phenomenal!! you have got to finish it, i promise you wont be disappointed
I just got done with it
No doubt. My thoughts exactly! I think after this series ends, I'm going to re-watch (in order) Better Call Saul, then Breaking Bad, and finish with El Camino. All three, truly brilliant television!
The really amazing thing about this show is that it’s all Saul remembering who he really is as Jimmy to psyche himself up and out of his depressing life as a Cinnabon manager.
Yup but him always thinking someone was looking for him or would find him just didn't play out for me
Jimmy is the Yin. He deploys 'dark' means to solve problems, but he's a good person at the core (the white dot). Chuck on the other hand is like the knight in the shinning armour who can do no wrong, BUT with a dark dark dot. He wants Jimmy to always look upto him, while Jimmy on the other hand genuinely looks upto him for appreciation & kind word.
15:50 gotta love how the UNM crew realizes immediately what's going on and pull it off flawlessly
I'm still so happy that we have a Saul Goodman show, he was one of the best parts of BB. Can't wait for session 6.
Y la gente pensaba que iba a ser un chiste.
Darn straight. Proved all them wrong.
“…before they go tuh slip.” Makes me howl every time. I always forget it
Couldn't imagine any show coming even close to the excellence of Breaking Bad but BCS did it even surpassing it in few aspects!

better call saul's goal at being realistic makes its goofy parts 100x better, compared to breaking bad where they dont stick out as much since the events are much less realistic and relatable
I love how Jimmy always looks like he's about to cry

Jimmy's photocopying scheme is possibly my favorite scam of the series. Relatively simple, purely hard work, expert craftsmanship
That first clip had the most genuine and realistic reaction to hitting someone with his car
This show feels so real to me and it taught some life advices.... Great character development and consistency of the show
15:07 Now this con/scheme is simple and clean. The classic Slip n' Fall case that is very common with many laywers.

"There's no honor amongst thieves" is the first piece of advice Saul gives Walt
Saul has a great skill for thinking things up, making the situation go in a way favorable to him, adapting to situations, getting out of bad circumstances, figuring things out, etc.
I just love the team of jimmy.. The camera guys and that makeup girl is just fantastic
Swapping the numbers was my favourite scheme. Incredibly deciveing and gaslighty, he done it to undercut an asshole & give the case to somebody who earned it because the same asshole undercut him.
My favourite con he pulled was the 'squat cobbler' he put over on the policemen. 😂
Love how he instantly realized after hearing "What are you gonna do to make it right?" And just went straight into character
“the whole thing catch fire and the flames LEAPED uptodawindowsill” 😭😭😭

Nothing odd about that. They were supposedly taking up a collection for him and writing the court because they knew he was in jail and presumably what for.
He has an unbreakable will. He just trying and trying over and over until he gets what he wants!
Jimmy's scams both individual, with the film crew or Kim (Giselle) along with Mike's montages are definitely my favorite parts of the show.

I’ve seen Odenkirk in his various other roles and his standup. He’s ok in those. But, this character.. he was quite simply born to play this role. Other than Alan Alda playing Hawkeye, I don’t know a more perfect fit for a character in TV history.
Bryan Cranston as Walter white
tony soprano
Eliot Alderson
Squat Cobbler is still my absolute favorite con
The shit he pulled to save the house in the desert was definitely up there
Dutch Apple Ass?
Don't think I've ever noticed before that Jimmy almost gets scammed by a set of twins in the beginning, and then later scams a set of twins. Considering there's also the Cousins (who are twins), can someone smarter than me delve into the significance of twins in the Breaking Bad universe?
They seem to be not really significant just cool. Like the Salamanca Twins were just supposed to be introduced as 2 cool cartel hitmen. And the ginger twins are just dumb scam artists. If you are wondering why they chose twins. For the Salamanca's it is just a cool concept to have two twins with skulls on their shoes who talk less than they kill. For the ginger twins it just easily establishes that they are siblings for both us as the audience and everyone in universe, and comes into play in the later scene when Jimmy barters with Tuco to save their life. He can use the fact that they both share the same mom to spin a yarn about how their mother is a hardworking widow who raised two idiots.
It's a duality thing. Just like how there's two persona of Walt (Walter White and Heisenberg), there's also the two persona of Jimmy (Jimmy McGill and Saul Goodman)
The Salamanca Twins kinda got scammed by Gus too, when he set them up in the shootout with Hank.
You're catching me off guard, and I'm not sure I remember this right, but ... ... did Ted Beneke have twin daughters?
14:21 It always warms my heart to see the Sklar brothers in stuff. I’m a big cheap seats fan.
I love how they pulled that first grift right out of The Sting. And the same thing ended up happening to an extent.
that scene in the copy shop .. done so well, its beautifully shot .
My favourite one is the one with the Mesa Verde address!!! Creepy, bastard and clever as hell at the same time!!!
Lol like Chuck said “No one ever accused you of being lazy. Every other dirty sin but not that one.”
3:20 Love how he stars humming Smoke on the Water haha
"You guys have liability insurance right?" 😂😂😂😂😂
That first one isn't even a con, that's just him working his way out of one
Making it the only one fitting the video title "can't con a con-man".
06:50 my most favorite scene!!!! Brilliant writing... excellence execution!
14:05 These guys are the biggest douches and I loved seeing them get owned in this scene.
Not the one with the glasses he seems fine, the one wearing flannel was a fucking prick though
@@eddiediaz5518 “You wanna play it like that? $450 is now *hand gesture* off the table.” He was a douche too.
To be honest, they're not douches. Just forget for a while that we're rooting for Jimmy and you have 2 smart businessmen trying not to get scammed by a suspended lawyer. Because that's what it is. Jimmy tries to sell a product that no sane person would buy. He's selling you the idea that you need 10 different ads for TV. Sure, that's his way of circumventing the contract with KWBV, and it's also an outrageous idea that anyone would need that. And on top of that he's holding the existing ad hostage if you don't pony up. The store owners weren't exactly nice about it, but let's facet it, Jimmy was trying doing what he does best in that scene too - trying to con them. It's just that this time someone saw through his con.
@@mac1991seth *after* they agreed to it and made a deal with him.
@@ScreaminEmu Actually they agreed to do one ad iirc. That's why Jimmy tried to sell them more.
