The switch was a metaphor for Jimmy's need to break the rules. He can't simply lay down and do as he's told. They intentionally do not show what it did because it doesn't matter, Jimmy just wants to break any rule he sees.
Also a good parallel to the opening scene of the episode where he can trigger/pull a "switch" but chooses not to.
Maybe Chuck was right. He always be slippin'
I disagree, I don't think Jimmy has a compulsive need to break the rules. He just thinks that rules are stupid and arbitrary. When he's sees the switch with the "Do not flip" sign, he does not believe the rule has any purpose, so he challenges it by pressing it. And he is proven right. Nothing happens and Jimmy seems justified in thinking that rules are pointless.
@@ondrejvasak1054 Some rules are arbitrary and bad, but not all of them. He easily could’ve asked what the purpose of the switch was before flipping it, but that would take the fun out of it. He gave in to a childish temptation. Even when things are going well for him, he still feels the need to test boundaries because that’s the only way he can feel fulfilled. The opening scene shows the inevitable consequences of Jimmy’s attitude - he broke too many rules and blew up his life and now he’s too afraid to open a door.
@@ondrejvasak1054 thats a stupid way to look at it - for all jimmy knew, he could've done something bad by flipping the switch. The end result of flipping it is not relevant, we dont even know if it did nothing or not at the end of the day. The point of the scene is that he has a compulsive need to do it, otherwise why not just leave the switch there? he cant possibly gain anything by flipping it, he's not proving anyone wrong or right about how arbritary that rule is - there was no one there to see it! He's just proving it to himself and his ego.
Nacho has the same mindset as Mike. When Nacho saw Price show up in a gaudy yellow Hummer, he realized right there that Price doesn’t have restraint and needed to cut ties. Nacho decided to just rip him off as a final act. He took whatever pills were left and took the baseball cards as extra “compensation”.
Zafiro Añejo was first seen in "Breaking Bad" when Gus poisoned a bottle to take out the cartel. The writers originally planned on using a real liquor for the scene but no brand wanted to have their product used once they learned that it would be used to commit mass murder.
They created Zafiro Añejo just for that scene and later used it in "Better Call Saul".
Such a blessing in disguise they couldn't use any real brand. I wouldn't want to live in a world without the fictional Zafiro Anejo
The episode started and ended with two scenes where he reads instructions on a switch. Jimmy doesn't care about the repercussions and proceeds to press it. Saul is scared and prefers staying stuck for hours than doing it.
Wow I just noticed that too! That’s a very good insight 🙂
Gene*
Brilliant distinction!!
You might have recognized Ken Wins or Zafiro Anejo but that cop was also in Breaking Bad. He was the cop when Skylar wanted to kick Walt out of the house.
Love all the Easter eggs they put in BCS from BB. So much fun!!
God damn, only the real hardcore fans recognized the cop. Ken I’m sure is the easy level fan can get. Zafiro is the medium level trivia fan. That cop is definitely the hardcore level fan can get
The switch was just to show Jimmy's character. He needs to break a rule that seems begging to be broken, even if there's literally no point in doing so.
thats part of the truth, it was to show jimmys character in contrast with who eventually becomes. (Gene/Saul)
The b&w scene in season 1 was cool like "oh Gene is looking back on his life as Jimmy and Saul". But when I saw this episode it caught me off guard, in a good way. Honestly, I feel the decision taken by the writers to have a post-Breaking Bad storyline for Jimmy/Saul/Gene is one of the best things they did for the show.
SE1 and SE2 of "Better Call Saul" takes place in 2002, six years before the events of "Breaking Bad", which took over place over two years, 2008 - 2010.
The switch is a tie-in to the b&w future forward scene at the beginning. It shows how Jimmy has gone from testing boundaries as he was in the first stages of becoming Saul to being a beat down sad sack years later. Brilliant writing.
i like how they're kinda underestimating nacho, it'll make the journey more interesting
Surprised they didn't recognise Ken wins as Teddy from b99
Right!? How did they NOT recognize Teddy!?
@@sookwon1201 im guessing they didnt recognise him as teddy because ima be real, i didnt either
@@The_Gerry_ManSame. I’m watching both shows at the same time & didn’t even realize it was him. He’s not likable in either one tho.
That is “Ken Wins” from Breaking Bad. He appeared in 1.4 Cancer Man where he irritated Walt at the credit union and then later had his car destroyed for being an overall a**hole. Love how they worked him in here.
Most con games involve the target being an accomplice to some kind of crime. People are less likely to notice they're being conned if they think they're getting away with something themselves, and nobody is going to go to the police and say "Some guy sold me a fake watch we robbed from a drunk in an alley!"
It's common for cons to target douchebags, or to involve the victim in questionable behaviour as part of the scam. It's like a less concrete version of how nacho says he likes to steal from criminals because they can't go to the cops - they have no recourse. In the case of a con it's more like making sure they're too ashamed to report it, even if their involvement isn't technically illegal.
If only Price was a sensible criminal 🤣🤣
The police officer in this episode is the same one that is in Breaking bad when Skylar calls the cops on Walter in season 3
A wonderful, wonderful series. So well acted and well written. And yet we have only just scratched the surface,. :)
So from what I could find online about the BB BCS timeline Breaking Bad takes place from 2008 to 2010 and Better Call Saul starts in 2002 and most likely will end in 2008 before or around the start of the events of Breaking Bad.
The guy they conned is also Teddy from Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Yeah, I'm surprised Eric didn't recognize him because of that at least.
@@dermathze700 I mean, Eric recognizing him as the actual same character from this universe's other series is the more relevant way to recognize him.
@@scarlettmi Sure, but Eric wasn't even sure about that one. He only appeared in one episode of Breaking Bad, but appeared multiple times in Brooklyn 99, a show they are still watching at the moment.
@@dermathze700 Eric most likely did, he just didnt mention it because this isnt b99 and he knew he was a character from BB
@@marshymoo7149 super doubt. They literally always point out other castings. Like, ALL the time. Eric literally did this in a B99 reaction I recently watched. Holts mom shows up, and Eric can't keep himself from going "IT'S SO-AND-SO FROM LOST!".
That was so smart to give a free full time reaction at the beginning up of each season. Totally lured me in 🤓
The switch probably was to a socket that someone had something plugged into that they didn't want turned off (maybe a humidifier or something) and they just put that note there so the cleaning crew wouldn't touch it.
You know ken got fucked when you realize zafiro anejo was such a high class bottle gus gifted it to Don eladio
Sometimes you just gotta take a breath, chill out and let your mind work. Quit bustin your asses wondering if the switch is somehow connected to a nuclear launch, and just appreciate that Jimmy's first action here is one of blatant disregard and self destruction, of impulse, and of opportunistic learning.
He pushed the couch back into position so the cops wouldn't see the spot he hid his money.
Mark Prokscch's characters name is Daniel "Pryce" Wormald.
Does Calvin usually come across light switches that have so much control??? Lol he’s so concerned it’s a sort of doomsday switch
That first and last scene are so good
0:59 Immensely is probably the word you were looking for.
There are 17 shots in a normal 750 ml bottle of Tequila so Ken's bill would have been around 850.00 and with tax 920.13.
A bottle of Hardy Perfection Flamme Fire Cognac which the Zafiro Anejo Tequila is based on holds 700 ml's and costs 9, 120.00 dollars.
god its so weird to me how in america prices dont include tax.
@@SorchaSublime Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. If the price-tag says 50 dollars, then you should pay 50 dollars
And thus begins the shows greatest mystery. What becomes of Ken in the present timeline. Will he finally win in the end?
Man
It's such a feeling I get when I watch that Davis & Main sequence, knowing how things go
I flipped out when they started Better call Saul but I would be so happy if they react to Ozark!
Zafiro Añejo is the tequila Gus offered to Don Eladio which killed him and his men. It's the exact same bottle shown in this episode too. :)
Omar is a Chad and we need more like him.
Great shirt, Eric! Loving ME3 play, too.
5:09 can someone tell me what theyre talking about? what makes that shot so special?
A hummingbird came up and looked at the camera for half a second. It didn't show up in the reaction clip but you can hear the quick buzz it makes
the show was cropped strangely in this video, cut out lots of important details
@@johnny-vu6rl It was in frame but the reaction fps must not have captured it
Dude said, “he’s got a kiln in his office” 💀
Love seeing you wear that N7 shirt Eric ;)
I just realized both Pryce and Ken have roles in The Office lol
colin robinson is so good in this episode
Energy vampire
I played the "water buffalo" by the pool.
Broo I had tht exact same hummer as a toy when I was like 6
This is the guy in season 1 who Walt blew up his car
5:07 I’m confused what was so cool about that shot? Can anyone let me know what I’m missing
Beyond all the metaphorical things the switch stands for when paired with Jimmy's mindset....I think the switch is just connected a socket in the room. And that whoever had that office before him put it up there because they had something important connected to it and didn't want it turned off. It's just a left over thing, that doesn't really mean anything anymore.
If you guys like watching scams, you should check out a British drama called Hustle. Really great build up and reveal after each episode!
can you do the full aspect ratio of the show, instead of cutting off the top and bottom? I had to check what happened on netflix to see the bird cause it was cut off when you reacted to it
Well I have good news for you!! The final season will be 13 episodes instead of 10 :)
Aaron said "Van again" and i heard Vanagon! I own a 1982 Volkswagen Vanagon/ Westfalia!! Im 24 lol
I would say you're enjoying it *because* there's "not enough". 99% of TV shows are bad because they're artificially bloated. How do we create as many questions as possible, how do we avoid answering those questions for as long as possible etc. How do we give a sequel bait ending when we could give a tight, satisfying ending?
11:31 damn Aaron more “down” than I thought
can anyone tel me what was so impressive about the shot at 5:08?
The tequila was the same that gus poisoned
You can’t cheat an honest man.
What's up with the cropping of the Saul footage? All 4 sides are cut off...
This show is so good...I have been waiting forever for season 6, which apparently will be 13 episodes, but they mention that it will be "split in half"...I don't know what that means but I hope we don't have to wait until 2023 to see the second half.
Reducing the risk of copyright claims
Now Kim’s character has been unleashed. It is a snowball from here! Cant wait for the very hilarious second episode of second season 😂
BMW with Ken wins licenceplate if i remember correctly
Cocobolo is some expensive wood. Nice looking, though.
Bill would be rougly 1323 assuming the bottle was 750ml in volume at 50 bucks per shot, including NM sales tax and a 15% tip. Though that guy doesn't seem like a tipper so I'll knock 165 off for 1158.
season 6 the final season has 13 episodes but yes every other season has 10 episodes
I think Ozark would also be right up your alley
Yes watch it pls
I have not seen yet is it any good ?
@@joeldean2706 yup very
I love ozark.Watching the final season now and its fantastic
4:34
Well, I'm soory!
I mean, I hate this guy, but that part had me cracking the hell up! 😀😆😂🤣😭
Love BCS, but please react to Fate of the Furious and F9!
Aaron hates queefs
Just because they finished the bottle doesn't mean they opened the bottle.
Police men are the same that came when Skylar called the police on walter
what was impressive about the shot before the drug deal? I feel like i'm missing something obvious.
react to OZARK please you guys will love that show !!!
KEN WINS!!!
Why is the reference footage cropped?
Probably just helps with copyright plus it shouldn’t really matter because ‘this isn’t a market substitute’
@@froziac3509 what? if they wanted that to matter then they would do what a lot of other reaction channels do. lower the opacity, mute the audio and crop it further. None of their other videos on the channel have ever been cropped so I don't know why they're doing it now since whenever they face copyright issues they just put the videos up on their website, like what they do with anime and what they did with Breaking Bad. My only guess is that the editor made a mistake or something. It's not a huge issue I'm just wondering what's the point of cropping like 10% of the screen, cause it wouldn't even be enough to block any copyright
@@leleo2219 They crop other videos as well, not just this one
@@leleo2219 They do crop other videos
Good video, now watch season 3
Wait, I don't see what's great about that shot ? 05:06
so walter neutral evil to lawful evil saul chaotic good to neutral evil?
I'd argue Walt is Chaotic Evil throughout Seasons 3 and 4.
I love the scene where Jimmy presses down the "do not press" button. I think the point is that others (especially Chuck) always tell Jimmy, you gotta follow the rules. But when he does not follow them, nothing bad ever happens. I think from his perspective rules and laws are completely arbitrary and he'd rather make is own rules.
Jimmy actually never got in trouble for his scams and antics. He only got arrested for shitting into somebody's car. Chuck tells Jimmy, "you mustn't break the rules". Jimmy listens to him all this time and then he finds out Chuck was never on his side.
Now he comes into the office and sees a "do not flip" switch, he flips it and nothing at all happens. The writing on the button now seems like a lie to keep him from doing what he wants, rather then important principle to follow. And all Chuck ever told him now seems to be just to keep him down out of Jealousy.
Simple minds
Please React to Ozark!!!!
Where is new Lego The Skywalker Saga gameplay reaction?! Is it safe? Is it all right?
