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 love how he dressed like Matlock to present an image of a lawyer that the elderly people would recognize and feel more comfortable with.
I always did find that part of Jimmy amazing. He’s able to connect with just about anyone. I think that’s what Chuck hated.. Especially when Jimmy starts telling lawyer jokes. It’s a hit with Chuck’s wife but when Chuck tries, it’s a epic fail
That's how "fashion" works, its used to manipulate other peoples perception of you. Jimmy perfected this as a conartist and utilized it perfectly.
"Saul is a masculine given name of Hebrew origin (Shaul), meaning "ask/question". People named Saul include: Saul Adadi (1850-1918), Sephardic Hakham and rosh yeshiva in the Tripoli Jewish community."
He was in "Texas".
That's why he wore the cowboy hat and bollo tie that he never wore in Albuquerque. So it wasn't just "Matlock", but he was playing to a Texas audience as he was approaching the sandpiper crossing Lubbuck? location.
It was cinematic/comedic genius to dress him like that as part of his con.

@@deplorableaussie6749 You just broke the first two rules xD
It's just sad because Jimmy is a longtime conman who loves to do tricks and hates playing along with the rules, but he found a good way to apply his skills. But Chuck just had to push Jimmy out of HHM, and that just pushed Jimmy further back toward being a conman to get validation and results. Every chance Jimmy got to make a fresh start, Chuck just pushes him further back to the place where he NEEDS to con to survive.
Jimmy's patience with older people is quite admirable
I know that I don't have that kind of patience with older people.
I mean he’s got a financial incentive
Jimmy’s got that fat thick paycheck from retirees in mind. Devilish lawyer
@@joemckim1183 You're not playing the long game for their pensions, so you don't have the same incentive as Jimmy.
I hope someone treats us all that nicely when we are old and in need of help. ;-)
He convinced her to talk to him as her "nephew". He didn't say as her "son" because he knows- usually own sons/daughter put people in aged care. Clever small things to notice, incredible writing.
Or, since she said she didn't have a "boyfriend" it might mean that she wasn't married, or her husband passed, or something similar. Rather than making an error in assumption, he just went with next in line: A nephew.
I can see it a few ways. 1) It's more likely she has a nephew vs a son. 2.) Many people aren't super close to their nieces and nephews and might only see them a handful of times out of the year, so their perception is usually the "good" side of them vs their kids where there might be more negative emotions related to them

The best quote from Better Call Saul: “Chuck made his mom proud; Jimmy made her laugh.”
This scene reflects the charm that Jimmy had.
Aww, when was that, currently rewatching it, it's so good lol that's cute, it's better to make parents laugh than proud, and such
Which episode is that quote from?
That's not from an episode. It's from an interview with Michael McKean (Chuck) to The Hollywood Reporter in 2017.

*Puts mental image of Sandpiper crossing mugging retirees at gunpoint in the head of old folks*

And associated himself with the lovable nephew Steve who's going to "set things right." LOL
Don’t think of a pink elephant…….
The funny part is the media (regardless of political bent) does this all of the time, in particular those on youtube. They never present the facts without at first painting a picture like that, then blowing it off, so you are biased going into the information to see it a certain way. It's such an obvious trick but millions upon millions still fall for it.
it's a great metaphor manipulation. the "don't think of" doesn't process emotionally while the "mugging at gunpoint" lingers on the mind to influence their perceptions. classic sophistry strategy.
@@BlazingOwnager It's usually called "poisoning the well", incase you were looking for a term for it.
I'm 73, and I don't believe that I've seen a better written, and more satisfying series in my entire life. And I've dearly loved many from different genres. Can't wait to see the last season. I don't believe for a moment, the there will be any disappointments to be had.
The only disappointment will be knowing there won't be another episode.
Live long and prosper Mr. Robert. Only 4 more days for the last season.
Dear Mr. Robert, I hope you'll enjoy this last season
Do you think Better Call Saul portrays ‘older folks’ in an accurate or ‘good’ way? I’m surprised people above 70 use UA-cam to be honest, good for you sir!
I'm from the future and S6 is incredible
The great thing about Jimmy is that he somehow manages to remember everyone’s name. That’s the hardest part for me.
He seems to casually remember them but he’s probably researched these people and memorized their names.
Plus he looks at the forms to see the name and pretends he knew it!!
@@planetslime Oh yeah that is a nice little trick.. he looks down at the papers iirc and then says their name out loud. What a genius move to gain their trust.
@@casedistorted That is a great trick, but to Jimmy's credit, he mentions their names before they hand over the clipboards, so he has indeed remembered them.
@@Fairfieldfencer Yeah it's amazing, he hears the name once, repeats it back to help remember it and gain trust, and repeats his own name. He had to pick up 20 names, but he also made sure all 20 of them remembered his.
I once served on a jury in a civil suit. There were twelve of us. The plaintiff's attorney, in his opening remarks to the jury, called each one of us by name; Mr. Rosemeyer, Mr. Smith, etc. etc. without once referring to notes.
that way of talking is so realistic for a guy that's been a trickster, "it's not like you were put at gun-point and asked for your money so I want you to put that mental image out of your head", it's a genius way of not taking responsibility in accusing someone but at the same type cultivating the seeds of suspicion in the mind of the person you're talking to. This show just keeps surprising me because of how good the dialogue is.
politicians do this all the time. its a lawyer thing. as lawyers say " when you cant lie, let the
truth lie for you".
Lawyers main job is to persuade judge and jury that their arguments is correct. Judge by using evidence and actual law, jury by using common sense and how one should approach the situation. It’s a fine line, and Jimmy here is at his best
Jimmy is one of the best social engineers youll ever see
genius? it's as subtle as a battleaxe.
@@stdcall it doesn't need to be subtle, he's talking to old people which are easy to fool, it's just how they imagined it that makes it genius, they created that situation and made a dialogue that shows how Jimmy is with just a few words.
Thing I love about this part of the show is it's basically showing how he could have used his skills for good. This was like the equivalent of a hacker helping to improve security.
..."showing how he could have used his skills for good"...did you not see the show? He DOES use his skills for good. Sure, he also used them to help bad criminals but, he also did some good for good people too. See Jimmy is what some folks might consider "Chaotic Neutral"
@@bubbaguy4411 What I mean is that he could have gone down a better path exclusively, one which was sneaky, but still legitimate and to the benefit of non-criminals. As you said, at this point he is still caught between the two paths, and it's later that he starts going harder down the criminal path more.
@@bubbaguy4411 the think is that Jimmy and Kim use those powers for good, but Saul became bitter and hateful in the last few seasons, look at him speak about his new clients. hell he did manipulate an old lady to be ostrazised. and the main thing he learned from that whole debacle was not "man I shouldnt trick my clients" it was "I should get shitty clients so I dont feel bad about shitting them"
@@caterinagerbasi1594 ahh....well, I stand corrected. I am a few seasons behind from finishing.
@@bubbaguy4411 "cHaoTic neUtRaL." No, Jimmy is literally, as Chuck describes, a chimp with a machine gun. If everyone followed his example, the law wouldn't matter. He's actively doing this work for the money, and illegally soliciting his services to get even more money. He cheats, bribes, and while it's entertaining, he isn't a good person.

@@Tomson419 She could die -- I wouldn't rule it out obviously, but that would be so on-the-nose for this show. I am thinking that Kim pulls a Heisenberg and "breaks bad" (she's already showing signs of that) and turns on him somehow. Or manipulates him in a way he can't accept because he's the manipulator.
@@terracottapie there's a lot of speculation about who was going to ring the payphone that Jimmy made sure his receptionist would answer on his birthday at 3pm after he calls the Vaccum repair guy to dissappear at the end of BB. Hoping that'll be Kim and she's had to go on the run somewhere, maybe due to whatever she was planning to do to Howard Hamlin. Shes too good a character to be killed off!
"Was it yellow?" "It was canary yellow! I picked that color myself!" I love how Jimmy seems genuinely happy about this and I have a feeling canary yellow = saul yellow

While Chuck had a point about Soliciting, jimmys tactic worked. If he didn’t do this then those old people would never have known how they were being Screwed by those homes. It was a case he founded so he should’ve been free to do stuff like this and the commercial.
Ultimately it comes down to reputation. Although he was ultimately helping these people he was manipulating them as well and if a lawyer can do this with no repercussion from their bar association then it hurts the reputation of the entire association.
@@duewhat9815 well ultimately it comes down to that sandpiper can use this incident against the lawsuit, saying that the customer acquisition was unlawful
@@MrDragonorp It's not against the law for a lawyer to solicit a client for work. It is considered unethical and most, if not all, bar assosiations have a rule against it. So while a lawyer isn't breaking any laws set by the government they are likely breaking rules set by their bar assosiation and can be heavily fined or completely disbarred dependent on the severity.
I agree with you on the soliciting but no way is the commercial justified. Yeah it's was just his case at first but his ad is representing the class action as well as the entire firm of Davis & Main. You don't get to just be hired by Walmart and start putting out your own Walmart ads. Cliff Main rightfully points out that yes Jimmy's ad did bring in people for the class action, but it hurt their brand because the ad came off as too manipulative and corny for the prestige image they want to display. Not even telling the partners about the ad is probably the stupidest thing Jimmy ever did, he was definitely at least subconsciously trying to get fired.
It's amazing to me how he is still talking like a conman and manipulating their emotions, but this is one of the few instances where he has an entirely good and just purpose.
"Jimmy has a knack for doing some of the most terrible things, for reasons that sound almost noble"-- Chuck McGill
"the end justifies the means"
The fact they got this exact guy for the role of Jimmy/Saul is just perfect. The guy NAILS it.
He is a legend
No one else could play that role
Interesting part is, he is a stand up comedian more than he was an actor. Wild just how good he is acting
@@Carlos-ln8fd Agreed! I do feel this about most of the Breaking Bad cast, that whole universe is just .. I can't get enough of it. But Saul,Walt,Gus and Mike are just THE perfect dudes for their roles. Jesse ofc too and to me Mark Margolis was born to be Hector xD
@Potato King The idea was if you could do comedy, you can do drama. I'd say more than half had a comedy background. The only person I can think of right now would be Giancarlo, who usually played villains.
Are you telling me a bus just happens to broke down like that? No! He orchestrated it! Nephew Steve!
LOL
You think this is bad? This chicanery? He's done worse
The part where he said "Beautiful penmanship, a lost art" still gets me every time. Jimmy knows how to butter up old folk!
He knows how to butter up just about anyone (and cinnabons too at the end). That's why he lasted as long as he did.
Jimmy has fallen such a long way. Helping the elderly to threatening one to stay silent
This was one of the most infuriating things about the show, but so beautifully written by people who understand reality.
Jimmy did a fantastic thing with a great idea, saving a lot of people. But in law, you can't be spontaneous or witty....you have to be heartless and stretch things out for the most gain, even if you're gaining from people who want to settle things quickly and can't afford all that time spent.
Jimmy got in trouble with Chuck for not doing things by the book...even though the book calls for these people to die before they see their money again.
We see where not going by the book got Jimmy. Stop glorifying being a weasel lawyer.
@@FirstLast-yc9lq yes instead of a weasel he could be a goblin! Definitely the better choice!
@@simber3523 In this situation specifically, yes it’s better for the clients to do things quickly. When you’re able to bend the rules it seems like that’s always the best way. But that’s how people get hurt in the end. Most people have suffered from having known Jimmy, seems like

C'mon guys let's give some credit to Peter Gould, he was the one who wrote Saul's character in BB and is the showrunner in BCS.
@@xhickenstrips8795 bince's head
That's correct.
They have a whole writers room, not just Vince Gilligan.
No way in hell is this solicitation. He clearly plays it by-the-book here. Note the interaction with Lydecker: Jimmy doesn't address him, only answers after Lydecker has interacted with him.
The fact that Sandpiper stonewalled him from meeting clients in their homes forced him to meet them on a bus like this. If Sandpiper didn't want other people overhearing, they would have been smart to set up private meeting spaces for Jimmy to meet people who responded to the mailer. By stonewalling him from their residences, they opened up this opportunity for Jimmy, and he was being an excellent lawyer by seizing on it.
This isn't solicitation, this is a strategic failure on Sandpiper's part. Once again, Chuck was completely in the wrong, and simply going out of his way to sabotage Jimmy.
I mean he staged a fake bus breakdown. Definitely a grey area but thats what makes Jimmy so love able
Maybe Chuck didn’t think it was solicitation, but Jimmy’s strategy was pretty questionable and it would be very easy for Sandpiper to use that argument against HHM.
Jimmy is indeed awesome and Chuck was an ass about it, but his ace in the hole could’ve cost them the case if it was used and Chuck had to protect the firm.
this may be effective on some mediocre guy who will be turned down by those extra difficulties, but not on Jimmy
@@haydenranshaw2401 Under the assumption the breakdown was unintended (no proof to argue otherwise). It wouldn't be solicitation.
@Fennec Besixdouze Excellent analysis.
The writers of this show are genius.
"I want you to put that mental image RIGHT outta yout head."
Jesus, Jimmy. That's actually some impressive suggestion.
$24 for a side of biscuits is starting to sound more realistic with how bad inflation has been recently
I"ve just read about Odenkirk's little heart attack and I almost had one. 😥
same im glad he's doing better
Just sublime. I don't care what anyone else thinks, to me "Better Call Saul", is leagues ahead of any show, I can think of. The casting, the writing, the directing, the way that various personalities are elicited, couldn't be more perfect. If this series doesn't conclude with rapturous reviews, and a bushel basket of awards, there is no justice.
It truly is streets ahead
"Beautiful penmanship! I lost art..." He just says all the right things, doesn't he?
I thought the same haha, a simple phrase that adds even more perfection to the scene and the script
This scene alone can be used in a lot of B Schools to show that communicating effectively requires you to understand the client first and then incorporate any jargon in your prose.
Jimmy explains the concept beautifully to the residents without being imperious.
This scene probably makes me smile more happily than any scene in Better Call Saul. It's such a great combo of Slippin' Jimmy and the charm of Jimmy McGill that made his mother love him to the very end
Man I love Bob Odenkirk. He plays Jimmy/Saul so well. Can't wait for next season!
Jimmy McGill uses his acting chops for cons but he is excellent at it! What if Jimmy made an honest career out of acting! Maybe one day he could've played a sleazy lawyer on a great TV show, or a wrote and starred in a comedy sketch show, or became a badass action star in his 50s..
I doubt it, what are the odds any of that would happen?

i want this jimmy back :(
"I want you to put that mental image right out of your head. ... Now that I've planted it there."
So clever.
The most wholesome thing Jimmy did was take a L and look like a complete scumbag in front of all the elderly people in order for that one lady to be accepted and friends with all the elderly again😭.....even though it was technically him that caused them all to hate her in the first place but hey he made it all right in the end again even if it cost him all buisness with the elderly
Wholesome? He pretty much started a fire and let it burn a few floors before putting it out with that case.
@Clint true, but he still went out and pretty much burned his main source of income, just to help an elderly woman. Gotta give him that.
At the end Jimmy showed how he always cared about the old folks.
How he really cared about everything. His father, mother, Chuck, Kim, not Howard though.
It just make it all the more sadder to see who he has become in Breaking Bad.
I honestly could watch an entire show of Jimmy living a slow life. I dont even care.
Being as charismatic, likeable, personable, relatable, etc as Jimmy is a talent, skill, and art in itself.
Jimmy could've been such a great elder lawyer.
He's kind, he can put things in layman's terms super well, he has patience, it's honestly him at his most honest.
The small thing I love about this is where he describes someone robbing her at gunpoint. Then immediately tells them to put the image out of their head. That's all they're going to be thinking about. Brilliant
I love how he keeps playing this 'Greatest Generation' card bullshit
This is honestly one of the best clips of the entire show
Notice how a minute in, Jimmy's already said his name out loud 4 times. Making sure to stamp himself into their memories before he even gets to his point.
"forget that image" after he's planted it. Well played
"It's not like they robbed Alma May at gunpoint so get that image out of your head" He says in the most theatrical way possible while everyone gasps out loud.
What does someone think about when you tell them to not think about an elephant? Classic Jimmy
Very smart move!
5D chess
my man has seen inception
I love that scene! And I love how Gilligan/Gould allow time in the scenes in the series.
This scene is has the ability to be under and over stated at the same time. It’s one of the very best, it’s almost mundane, it’s Jimmy McGill and Saul Goodman in a to-go cup with ice. I love this scene
God I just love jimmys character so much, he’s so complex and deeply written but he can be enjoyed at a surface level just as easily
I like how he asks the old man his name so he can buy himself some time to think of a lie
Brilliant writing, directing, and acting to convey that to the audience as well, all without having to spell it out in the slightest.
This is one of my favorite scenes from the show, Bob is so absolutely captivating.
This scene is the moment where Huell Babineaux ate a cheeseburger.
Man this scene musta happened a whole lotta times then.
'Breaking Bad' was good, but 'Saul' takes it to another Level completely.
The way he explains all the things is insanely amazing. What a character!
What a great sales pitch.
Seeing him on his top level , I think the word charesmatic describes him fully
Jimmy really was a master lawyer
was?
Penmanship really is a lost art.
Jimmy had a clipboard for every passenger.
One thing that Jimmy has, and Chuck never had. Charisma baby!
This is when Huell truly becomes Bogdan
I'll never get tired of these kind of comments
Bob Odenkirk is the only guy funny enough to play Saul Goodman and talented enough to play Jimmy McGill
The writing and the act here are amazing. They really nailed the talking towards elderly so much.
Absolutely brilliant!
the genuine joy and pride Jimmy displays when he goes "I picked that color myself"
This series is so good for teaching you to be charming.
This show ages like the finest wine. Bravo Vince and Peter!
Jimmy is so cute in his lil cowboy outfit 🤠
“Who may have been over CHARGED”
*turns to the entire bus*😂😂😂
This show is just awesome. It’s got a breaking bad vibe but it’s absolutely it’s own thing.
my heart aches knowing that jimmy's mistakes and inner demons cost him a life of actively helping the elderly; a job he clearly enjoyed because he worked with people he certainly cared for at a personal level.
his techniques were iffy, but his intentions and end-results were sincere. i cannot ever vent enough how much i pity his downfall and how tragic i find his story.
he really was (arguably) a good man back in this era.

"I saw your bus broken down, here you are. Lucky me."
If you know the anything about Saul Goodman, you know the bus breaking down had nothing to do with luck
Can we just take a second to appreciate how incredible this acting is?!
Yes we can
I've always loved how the interactions with seniors were written in this show. Having worked with seniors for the better part of 10 years now it's done so in such an accurate and respectful way, the writing is obviously outstanding in BCS but the finer details like this are really what kept me hooked.
I so fucking love this man!
The weird thing about Jimmy's particular flavor of "charismatic" is that if anyone came up to me acting like this, I'd consider it very off-putting and instantly distrust them.
I think this is mentioned when he's dealing with the dumbass family that stole a couple million. They described jimmy as tacky, I agree with you but everything he says kinda has a point.
@dark jaguar are you an old person? Because it was tailored for these elderly people. It wasnt meant to be charismatic for you
He's like the typical smarmy salesmen type I picture in the USA. Like if this didn't work out, he'd be onto late night infomercials.
@@OffGridInvestor Some salesman are tacky, some are genius. America definitely has both. Saul is the former, of course.
One of the things Jimmy dos well is remember names/faces. You need that as a conman. He can meet someone once and remember them. It comes off as very charming and puts people at ease. It’s nice to see him using it in a very moral way here to get these elderly citizens the information since Sandpiper crossing won’t let him in. And yes, this means more money for Jimmy. But he’s at his best when he’s using his whits and charm for the greater good
I love the scene and in season one where he didn’t charge the client directly but instead decided to go in the long run and press charges against Sandpiper because I think they should be held accountable for their actions
Jimmy is the salesman we all aspire to be
As his reputation was built on the elderly, his run was stopped by one.
The writing is absolutely brilliant. So many subtle things.
Bob Odenkirk is so good. This scene is fantastic.
Elder law was the PERFECT legit job for Jimmy.
Superb writing
I was really hoping nothing bad would happen between Jimmy and his elder law clients. Just something so sweet abt the thought of Saul passing by to elderly homes with boxes of Walmart cookies between his dealings with Walt and Jesse
In Breaking Bad we do get to see a bit of that when Saul is walking an elderly Hispanic woman out of his office while advertising his class action lawsuit against Wayfarer 515. It’s sleazy, but he was still rather respectful towards her.
This the best show people will see
God he’s so likeable in this scene
Everyone say's he is adorable with the elderly but how he set up a old woman against others in her nursing home broke my heart.
This guy saved every criminals he defended, all of them bailed out or released. Best lawyer
"put that image right out of your head" hilarious 😂
