The line "old ways are still better and alive" is perfection considering Walt switched from a pseudo cook to P2P cook which was considered 'old-biker' meth.
Bro the precursor does not matter as long as you separate the enantiomers. You can use D-tartaric acid to septate the S enantiomer of methamphetamine from a P2P cook. Walt actually talks about "how can our product be enantiomerically pure " in the episode box cutter. Old meth is not better. Dextro Meth is. The right handed isomer. Walter knows this and seperates the D-meth. It's more dopaminergic and more CNS activity and less adrenaline. Adrenaline is bad and uncomfortable and causes comedown. So yeah precursor doesn't matter, enantiomers do.
it did work for several years, he was already smuggling coke/meth with the same system long before he met Walt, that's why Don Eladio calls him "the master of distribution"
This show is exactly why I hate humans, if all of them ego maniacs and greedy fucks had their ego and greediness in check, everyone would be millionaire and would have no problems.

Breaking Bad has alot of amazing opening sequence but i agree this has to take the cake. The transitions, the music and transition to the intro is just so damn good.
@@rainychristmas No. Nothing about that is Canon at all. Lalo only derogatorily refers to Gus's friend as his "boyfriend". Vince Gilligan has neither confirmed nor denied it.

Obi wan is gay. My dog is gay. It's all canon, man. Totally !
@@1994mrmysteryman Idk man. I don’t care what you think about their relationship, but ya’ll are always so pressed when the possibly of a lovers dynamic is mentioned. Sounds like a fat cope tbh. Like how does it change Gus’ character if he is? Either way, I can believe they were, and you don’t have to so. 🫡
“But you just had to blow it all up. You, and your pride and your ego, you just had to be the man. If you’d done your job, known your place, we’d all be fine right now”
Gus' Drug Empire was probably the most organized, most well thought out empire out of all the others. Listen to how the music and the movement in the labs move so rhythmically, to the beat, like a machine, like clockwork. 1:04 The creaking of the dolly, steady to the beat 1:10 The closing of the first box 1:13 The scooping and pouring of crystal into the plastic scoopers (most notably at 1:24 when they can be heard multiples times at certain intervals) 1:33 The squelchy sound of the bags being dipped into the fry batter 1:38 The most famous little addition, the hammer being pounded to seal the buckets 1:44 The UV light being passed over twice 2:05 The trucks brakes being released twice on beat 2:11 And finally the 3 trucks passing by
Also note how Walter closing the meth containers was the only thing that was not done to the beat at all - in fact, the only mistake shown in that entire production chain was him failing to close a box fully
Yeah, because apparently all it takes is for him to read a certain book during the ONE time Heisenberg returned to being Walter White. Not the expensive cars. Not the impulse buying of a car wash. Not even Walter admitting to owning half a million dollars in his bag. On any given episode, Hank is either the best DEA agent in America, or the worst.
@@marsayde1237 Yeah and it's all because he never really expected Walt to be the kind of guy who would do that. On top of that, Walt also lied about gambling too lol
As someone who works as a QC Scientist in the biopharma industry, I have to say that Gus' policies of having his staff wear the full gowning suits with gloves while packaging the meth is exquisite.
I mean its more then that. Its perfect for safety reasons and since meth is water soluble one wouldn't want their skin to get infected by a possibly toxic P2P cook.
@@MrJack1992 yeah, but your average meth cook doesn't give a crap about safety. Gus is distinguished here by how he handles the meth industry like he would a normal business.
@@cleitonfelipe2092 yeah cause the whole time they're waiting for the seasons to come out, they're filming and editing which takes a very long time. writing and directing is all done
Thought I recorded the wrong program when this episode first started. My favorite BB intro scene ever. The familiar phony corporate babble transitions to the evil deeds behind the facade. The production line, the nuts and bolts of the operation, efficient with a rhythm as smooth as clockwork. A story told with pictures, not a word of dialog or explanation necessary. Now we understand. Awesome - gives me chills every time!
Visual storytelling at it’s finest. Gus isn’t even present in the shots but his meticulous and efficient nature seeps into each piece of distribution, essentially turning the lab into an extension of Gus himself. You also get a visual aid to understand just how massive the absurd amount of meth he’s moving is. Truckloads headed out every day across the southwest.
You would need too many people who reliably keep silent no matter what. That does not exist in the real world. DEA and other police forces know about drug rings pretty fast because they can trace from the consumers to the dealerd to the packers. This could work for a while but it would go down inside a couple of years guaranteed.
all meth and shit aside, i’ll guarantee you his uncles really were the greatest at making chicken. glad Gus was able to carry out the tradition with the BOMB chicken
I don’t think many people have noticed this so i’m going to point it out. “Yes, the old ways are still best at Los Pollos Hermanos”. Talking about chicken AND meth. Remember back to when Hank says Walt is cooking old school by doing a methlamene cook.
Well, I even had Los Pollos chicken at shopping mall in the center of Moscow once in 2016, but it got replaced by other franchines in just a year or two. Chicken was good but couldn't compete with KFC nearby.
watching scenes like this one make me wish i could wipe my memory of breaking bad so i can experience all the brilliance for the first time again. this is such a simple scene but the music, the editing, the whole style is next level good
@@dxsolate im assuming because of how gus is covered by shadows and you can only really make out a silhouette, they do lighting tricks like this with Gus specifically a lot and its really cool considering he lives his life in the shadows. Looks like hes just watching his fast food business to a normal person, but the audience knows something more sinister is going on.
This whole scene is so perfect. The shot composition, the slightly sinister mood combined with the upbeat music. The way the beat is synchronised to what's happening. What a great show.
I remember when I first watched this, I paused the episode, got my ass up to the nearest KFC, came back and continued watching whilst indulging on some fried chicken.
I think this is one of the few times that the camera man was proven as an actual person and not a cloud recording the whole breaking bad series. At 1:52 you can see the camera being a unit and pushing the plastic flaps rather than walk through it
One of my favorite scenes. The parallelism of the chicken and meth, the perfect soundtrack, and showing the operation they have going in a moment where it's all going smoothly.
Yep and not to mention how proud gus was of what he built , he displayed it while watching trucks leave , looking at them and feeling proud as they leave
Everything about this scene this perfection. You don't get tired of watching this. It's mesmerizing. The dramatic irony that us the commercial itself, the scope of the operation, even the hammers sealing the buckets are *in tune of the fucking music!*
Everything in this scene is amazing, the music, the editing, the meaning behind it, the feeling, the way the breaking bad intro fits perfectly and obviously the acting, not one word was said in the whole thing yet we perfectly understand how all the characters feel, that's awesome. Amazing job by everyone who worked on this scene (even the extras, the extras were amazing too!)
In the little village where it 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 season 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.
@@suburbanhoodunit6160 its obviously a joke lmao but it didnt really make a lot of sense since it had nothing to do with kentucky, and pretty much nothing to do with crack...
The transition between the commercial song and the intro song was so perfect. I trully believe we wont experience another incredible show like BB anymore.

The blue meth was a p2p solution, hank called it old school biker meth made by the biker gangs from the 80’s And he said all the cooks he knew were either dead or still in prison.
V you gotta watch BCS, it’s a really well done extension of the BB series. It gives a lot of background information on a lot of the characters from BB, like the Salamanca brothers, how Gus began his operations, and how Jimmy McGill becomes Saul Goodman
Fring is by far my favorite character in the whole series, I don't care what anybody says:) I also like Mike Ehrmantraut, the Cousins, and of course Heisenberg.
***** I hope they intertwine, Saul knew Mike more than we know and who knows when Gus met Mike, but Gus was a big shot in Chile probably a General under Pinochet since Hector referred to the Chicken Man as a Genneralissimo (chilean military title) i bet BCS will start lighthearted and will end dark like BB.
***** Don't forget the cartel Don spared Gus because he says he know who he is and that he needs to remember he's not in Chile anymore, which just shows that Gus was some kind of bigshot in chile
"Mr. Fring, I have one question about Los Pollos Hermanos, if you don't mind me asking..." "Not at all. What's on your mind?" "If all our chicken is slow roasted, how come we got so many cases of fry batter?" *gunshot*
I think they served roasted and fried chicken, it's a very common thing here in mexico gettin fried or roasted chicken in the same place I see myself out
@@PlasticEel i didnt see any roaster in Pollos' instalation, like in Mexico. They overuse the concept of fresh and slow cooked methods. But then have this massive Fried Batter distribution... Mmm... Seems suspicious
Perhaps they slow roast the chicken at first with the ingredients before using the fry batter. That way the flavor gets locked in, not just on the outside. Flavor inside and outside. That would make for some quality chicken, actually. Because usually when you lose the skin you lose the flavor. KFC also does both grilled and fried chicken though, so they could do that. Just like Gordon Ramsay says: "Season season season."
Do you get the impression that Eladio or Bolsa are as hands-on as Gus is? Dude’s the king of his world and he still checks in on the day-to-day aspects of his operations both in the drug world and fast food realm. Legendary class
even though I've seen this show twice it still feels wrong to watch these clips. like I'm spoiling the experience even though I know what's gonna happen.
Holy shit they used the same background music in Better Call Saul to show a montage of Gus's operation! The attention to detail and Coherence between Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad blows my mind!
Not quite. It is from the same artist, but it's a different song. This one's called "Veneno" and the one from BCS is "Methadone". Chuy Flores is the artist.
@@travistouchdown7593 Oh really appreciate this tidbit! I love to delve deep into movies and series that I like and know about their various cast, crews and artists! :)
@@fierywolverine5044 No, but Vince admitted that he and his team of writers did not always plan season ahead. The name 'Madrigal Electromotive' was probably a spontaneous filler name they inserted at the bottom of the ad, to make it look more real. Then in season 5, when they wanted to introduce the parent company of Los Pollos into the show's plot, they used 'Madrigal'. What's more impressive than planning ahead is how good the writers actually are at revisiting older elements in the show and using them to maximum efficiency later on.
I always thought that Gus chose guys with a criminal past. Maybe he put the bail down for some of them or helped smuggle them across the border. At any way, I think all his trusted people are somehow in his debt.
This sequence is probably one of the best opening scenes in television, ever. Just the way it's shot and the ending shot of Gus staring at his product driving off in the distance.
Recently I've Watched all of BB for the fourth Time and it still amaze me how good the montage, the editing and the music is. This scene is probably the best example it's such a joy to watch.
This was such a catharsis in the show. Previously we've seen Walt convince Jesse to cook with him again and that in the high tech lab of gus. But walt spends the previous few episodes just dicking around the hospital because hank was attacked and you're just waiting for things to finally move on as visualized by jesse getting bored waiting in the lab as well. To open the episode like this is just so satisfying, Walt and Jesse working together again, with a professional supplier and the best equipment they could possibly have
J. Antón Well I don't claim to know Spanish - in my native French it would be "frères poulet" so I just assumed the same grammar style would transfer over to the Spanish.

Nah, when that Mariachi band sang the tale of Heisenberg and his blue meth. Definitely my favorite opening/episode.
Plebby McPlebface what about say my name?
Haha everything is better when you're high af :P
Lol, it's not mariachi, those are corridos, and it's a norteño band.
all meth and shit aside, i’ll guarantee you his uncles really were the greatest at making chicken. glad Gus was able to carry out the tradition with the BOMB chicken
The whole setup is so random though its funny. Two UNCLES growing up in a village known far and wide for their CHICKEN? LOL.
I’m pretty sure he was the chicken brother with Max
Given how mysterious Gus is, i think its unclear if he actually had two uncles who were great cooks or just made up for the company
We get his backstory in bcs. His family were too poor for meat. Also the brand is designed to make you think of Mexico but he's Chilean
There was no uncles.
Wow what a great commercial, goes real deep into the buisness, even shows the stuff that the most employees don't know
Gustavo Fring deserves his own breaking bad series
Be kind of boring though, since you know how it'd end.
There'd be nothing mind blowing to sate you.
@@Supperdude9 I mean Saul Mike and Nacho die yet Better Call Saul is based on these 3 characters.
@Ethan Budway holy shit that’s so good
@Ethan Budway "Los Pollos Hermanos" would makes sense
@@CausticSpaceSaul didn’t die did he?
I don’t think many people have noticed this so i’m going to point it out. “Yes, the old ways are still best at Los Pollos Hermanos”. Talking about chicken AND meth. Remember back to when Hank says Walt is cooking old school by doing a methlamene cook.
Also when he says "One taste and you'll know", talking about the meth having the highest quality
F
Methylamin!
F
It could also be a nod to the days when meth wasn't illegal - doing meth in the US was perfectly legal before 1970
Imagine how succesful it would be if they made an actual “los Pollos Hermanos” company
Including the meth part or not?
There is los pollos amigos with the logo of los pollos hermanos in portugaly
In Australia there actually is an OFFICIAL Los Pollos Hermanos (or Canada I forgor wich one)
Well, I even had Los Pollos chicken at shopping mall in the center of Moscow once in 2016, but it got replaced by other franchines in just a year or two.
Chicken was good but couldn't compete with KFC nearby.
that would be an awesome reverse product placement.
One of the most brilliant scene transitions ever. Season 4 was in a league of its own
This scene is from season 3 episode 9
Actually this is from season 3

BEST CHICKEN EVER
watching scenes like this one make me wish i could wipe my memory of breaking bad so i can experience all the brilliance for the first time again.
this is such a simple scene but the music, the editing, the whole style is next level good
Man, what I’d give to watch this entire series the first time again. A true once in a lifetime experience!
This commercial is better than the garbage KFC puts out.
Try their smokey mountain chicken littles that's literally all I get from there. Or famous bowls
did someone say FUCKIN KFC??? Makes me wanna puke everytime
ffupnooC no kfc can ever compare to Sam’s Chicken
100% TOTALLY AGREE!!!!
They be busy creating shitty dating simulators for dating a 80 yr old man
2:11 hands down one of the coolest shots in the series
How 😂
@@dxsolate im assuming because of how gus is covered by shadows and you can only really make out a silhouette, they do lighting tricks like this with Gus specifically a lot and its really cool considering he lives his life in the shadows. Looks like hes just watching his fast food business to a normal person, but the audience knows something more sinister is going on.
No I have seen better coldest scenes in this show
@@zubairzaki436 Cold? Looks like a desert to me.
@@distinctloafer Surprisingly, It's usually cold there. That's why you see them wear coats and warm clothing.
"don't take my word for it, one taste and you'll know it"
I hate chilli powder
This whole scene is so perfect. The shot composition, the slightly sinister mood combined with the upbeat music. The way the beat is synchronised to what's happening. What a great show.
I remember when I first watched this, I paused the episode, got my ass up to the nearest KFC, came back and continued watching whilst indulging on some fried chicken.
No fuckin way
And everyone clapped
Why is that hard to believe? I did the same watching GOT, especially that Hound episode.
👍👍
Same, did the same every time Hannibal aired.
1:31 The music gets so good right here 🤩
Especially when it’s in turn with mallet

Watch baking with babish he gives you the entire recipe for it
I think this is one of the few times that the camera man was proven as an actual person and not a cloud recording the whole breaking bad series. At 1:52 you can see the camera being a unit and pushing the plastic flaps rather than walk through it
0:54 Me and the boys bringing our mined diamonds to the vault room

Ur comment made me chukel

Jesus christ theyre minerals
One of my favorite scenes. The parallelism of the chicken and meth, the perfect soundtrack, and showing the operation they have going in a moment where it's all going smoothly.
Yep and not to mention how proud gus was of what he built , he displayed it while watching trucks leave , looking at them and feeling proud as they leave
Everything about this scene this perfection. You don't get tired of watching this. It's mesmerizing. The dramatic irony that us the commercial itself, the scope of the operation, even the hammers sealing the buckets are *in tune of the fucking music!*
Everything in this scene is amazing, the music, the editing, the meaning behind it, the feeling, the way the breaking bad intro fits perfectly and obviously the acting, not one word was said in the whole thing yet we perfectly understand how all the characters feel, that's awesome. Amazing job by everyone who worked on this scene (even the extras, the extras were amazing too!)
I miss breaking bad so bad :c
Better Call Saul is even better!
Law rence What?
+Walamonga 1313 bcs is great but as of rn bb is better.
Brandon Corrigan So far, 1st season vs 1st season BCS wins in my book. We'll see on the long run.
Walamonga 1313 what's your new opinion on BCS?
The difference between this and saul’s commercial 😂
i had a good job until my boss acused me of stealing!
Both are beautiful in their own ways
In the little village where it 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 season 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.
*cue veneno by chuy flores*
i love breaking bad.
Buy our new curly fries, I am sure you will love it, and if you don't, its on me
It’s the little details that add to how great this show is! Like the copyright notice towards the beginning of the ad! Fantastic

Apparently what they actually used for the "blue meth" was blue rock candy. Just something interesting I found out.
It's MINERAL candy! JESUS Jacob!
No wonder I have the strange urge to eat it
Cotton candy flavored, if I recall correctly.

That meth looks very different from the one tuco got to sniff the first time.
this is blue meth tucos was cristal meth
The blue meth was a p2p solution, hank called it old school biker meth made by the biker gangs from the 80’s And he said all the cooks he knew were either dead or still in prison.
Thats because its a different formula. Better improved.
Tight tight tight!

Gus Fring is the most organized villian I've ever seen on TV. He's really perfect director.
Bravo Gus

STEFAZON500 what does that mean
@@Brarbas I'm pretty sure you mean the german "guy" for some reason
Ugh Breaking Bad is such a masterpiece. I hope for a good spin-off. Wasn’t really into Better call Saul
V you gotta watch BCS, it’s a really well done extension of the BB series. It gives a lot of background information on a lot of the characters from BB, like the Salamanca brothers, how Gus began his operations, and how Jimmy McGill becomes Saul Goodman
Fring is by far my favorite character in the whole series, I don't care what anybody says:) I also like Mike Ehrmantraut, the Cousins, and of course Heisenberg.
the entire characters is damn good even hector salamanca
You know Fring had to be a great character to get someone like Mike on his team, i hope we get to see his origins in the new Better Call Saul show.
***** I hope they intertwine, Saul knew Mike more than we know and who knows when Gus met Mike, but Gus was a big shot in Chile probably a General under Pinochet since Hector referred to the Chicken Man as a Genneralissimo (chilean military title) i bet BCS will start lighthearted and will end dark like BB.
***** Don't forget the cartel Don spared Gus because he says he know who he is and that he needs to remember he's not in Chile anymore, which just shows that Gus was some kind of bigshot in chile
Karen Page boy
"Mr. Fring, I have one question about Los Pollos Hermanos, if you don't mind me asking..."
"Not at all. What's on your mind?"
"If all our chicken is slow roasted, how come we got so many cases of fry batter?"
*gunshot*
The most greatest of secrets of los pollos hermanos
I think they served roasted and fried chicken, it's a very common thing here in mexico gettin fried or roasted chicken in the same place
I see myself out
@@PlasticEel i didnt see any roaster in Pollos' instalation, like in Mexico.
They overuse the concept of fresh and slow cooked methods. But then have this massive Fried Batter distribution... Mmm... Seems suspicious
Perhaps they slow roast the chicken at first with the ingredients before using the fry batter. That way the flavor gets locked in, not just on the outside. Flavor inside and outside. That would make for some quality chicken, actually. Because usually when you lose the skin you lose the flavor. KFC also does both grilled and fried chicken though, so they could do that.
Just like Gordon Ramsay says: "Season season season."
@@Supperdude9 'Tis the season to be hungry NOM, NOM, NOM, NOM, NOM, NOM-NOM, NOM-NOM!
Do you get the impression that Eladio or Bolsa are as hands-on as Gus is? Dude’s the king of his world and he still checks in on the day-to-day aspects of his operations both in the drug world and fast food realm. Legendary class
the 2 hammerings at 1:37 really fits with the background music
No shit Sherlock
🙄
Anybody knows the music title ?
@@issoulescondes3913 "Veneno" by Chuy Flores

Looking back on this scene I’m really sort of pissed off the plastic tubs of meth were closed incorrectly
There's no point in closing all the lids correctly since they are often stacked on each other.
How r these boxes called I wanna see the correct way to close em
Mettooo
Yes. Very inconsistent. Very un Gus like
Completely unprofessional I agree. And they don’t stack properly if not closed interlocking
Holy shit they used the same background music in Better Call Saul to show a montage of Gus's operation! The attention to detail and Coherence between Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad blows my mind!
Not quite. It is from the same artist, but it's a different song. This one's called "Veneno" and the one from BCS is "Methadone". Chuy Flores is the artist.
@@travistouchdown7593 Oh really appreciate this tidbit! I love to delve deep into movies and series that I like and know about their various cast, crews and artists! :)
0:11 DID THEY JUST MENTION MADRIGAL IN SEASON 3
Did you think they wrote the story as they went along shooting the clips for the series? That's something special right there.
@@fierywolverine5044 No, but Vince admitted that he and his team of writers did not always plan season ahead. The name 'Madrigal Electromotive' was probably a spontaneous filler name they inserted at the bottom of the ad, to make it look more real. Then in season 5, when they wanted to introduce the parent company of Los Pollos into the show's plot, they used 'Madrigal'.
What's more impressive than planning ahead is how good the writers actually are at revisiting older elements in the show and using them to maximum efficiency later on.
I didn't notice it!
@Ronald McDonald ok "Ronald McDonald"
@Ronald McDonald ok, show us the facts that they had planned the whole Madrigal Arc on season 5 ahead of time.
I always wondered how you would get a job packaging meth. How would you be approached etc. "Hello sir, we would like to offer you a job"
Haha yeah thinking about it maybe they are immigrants who will work anywhere or something
If Gus offered me a job I'd take it in a heartbeat
No it is always through connections
"Your job involves burying packages of rock candy in our fry batter to surprise some of our chefs. It's a morale booster."
I always thought that Gus chose guys with a criminal past. Maybe he put the bail down for some of them or helped smuggle them across the border. At any way, I think all his trusted people are somehow in his debt.
Gustavo after seeing the promo
" It is acceptable."
Soy el único que le da satisfacción ver esta escena?

@@roddydykes7053 Even in-universe they're just chemists making the stuff, still also not assembly line workers lol
I can feel ya
I always imagined Gus to script und direct this commercial himself.
"The same line again, please. And better make me salivate this time..."
The note that brings the scene into the BB theme is perfect. Definitely the best intro!
This sequence is probably one of the best opening scenes in television, ever. Just the way it's shot and the ending shot of Gus staring at his product driving off in the distance.
One of the best opening scenes to a series I've had the pleasure to watch and listen to 😃
Recently I've Watched all of BB for the fourth Time and it still amaze me how good the montage, the editing and the music is. This scene is probably the best example it's such a joy to watch.
This was such a catharsis in the show. Previously we've seen Walt convince Jesse to cook with him again and that in the high tech lab of gus. But walt spends the previous few episodes just dicking around the hospital because hank was attacked and you're just waiting for things to finally move on as visualized by jesse getting bored waiting in the lab as well. To open the episode like this is just so satisfying, Walt and Jesse working together again, with a professional supplier and the best equipment they could possibly have
I love how "Los Pollos Hermanos" literally means "The chickens [who are] brothers". I'm not bashing BB, it just makes me smirk when I hear it.
It should be "Los Hermanos Pollos" though! Dang grammar...
It's meant as a double meaning. A wink to the audience.
flyforce16 I speak spanish, and "Los hermanos pollos" is wrong.
J. Antón How so?
J. Antón Well I don't claim to know Spanish - in my native French it would be "frères poulet" so I just assumed the same grammar style would transfer over to the Spanish.
They're closing those Meth bins improperly!
