The thing about Kim accidentally calling Rich "Howard" is that earlier, when Jimmy gives his pitch to Kim, he says of Rich, "He's just Howard Hamlin by a different name." Thus, when Kim reflects on the misnaming faux pas, she decides Jimmy is right, and she comes up with her counter-pitch to Jimmy.
Nice I didn't catch that
Ahh interesting. That makes sense; I’d been wondering what significance that faux pas had.
"Bro I don't like Jimmy anymore"
Oh just you wait. This shows a rollercoaster of loving Jimmy and being incredibly disappointed in him.
I don't know if I'll ever get over Irene.
@@YUM0N irene is the reason why he doesn't do elder law anymore...he becomes a criminal lawyer
@@YUM0N get over it
@@TheAnimationkid101 well shit when you put it like that I guess Jimmy ain't so bad
@@YUM0N I always liked that Crazy 8 store sign popped up in the background before he ran his scam on Irene. That just seemed like a shout out/parallel to Walter crossing a line when he killed Krazy 8. Not remotely the same situations, but where major moments where they both broke bad.
You guys missed a key point about that flashback in the beginning, it doesn't completely match the story Chuck told. Chuck made it seem that it was just Jimmy who ripped his dad off. His dad was kind to a fault and everyone in the neighborhood knew it and regularly scammed him. Chuck just assumed it was completely Jimmy's fault because that's how Chuck sees Jimmy. So he's right about Jimmy but he's also not right about Jimmy.
This is the episode were we see Jimny actually being honest and deciding to really be himself. He's not pretending to be something he's not for other people anymore. He tried it and it just didn't work. That's how it relates to the flashback scene. That was the first time that Jimmy decided to be honest about who he is.
When Kim called that guy Howard it was a Freudian slip. In that moment she realized Jimmy was right, she would just be trading one situation answering to a bunch of assholes for another.
The truth is always in the middle.
@@jstarwars360 not always but more often than not it is.
Oh great! I guess that makes it better. Jimmy was not the only one stealing from his dad. 😑
The thing is none of them are "assholes" if you watched the show you know
@@SdpSa-q5b true, but at the time that's how Kim was seeing it.
I kinda get it though, a young kid being angry at his own father for being such a "whimp" and lashing out in that fashion. Having a weak father figure could unintentionally mold a character that way, even if his father was a good person. Damn this show does everything right.
It makes me so sad that Chuck thinks Jimmy was pilfering all the money from his dad's shop. It forms his opinion of him. The truth is (as we learned in the intro) that his dad was too good of a person to succeed. Jimmy saw his failure and that influenced him more than the one con guy in my opinion.
It's a little of A, a little of B
@@weewer3369 Yep, the picture isn't as bad as Chuck paints, but it's still not good.
I love the trying to get fired montage! 😅
Best scene on the whole show imo
Character building. That slow feel you're trying to describe is character building
Rafael Reyes which some people say is boring, I like to think it’s one of the most incredible parts of this show.
I love when people try to justify boring.
MikG95 name one big hype moment other than previous character reveals.
@@LukeIsyourfasha So you're literally asking for spoilers....
@Luke Isyourfasha You must have a very short attention span, if you watch tv shows merely for "hype moments"
Jimmy learned shortcuts/swindling before he hit puberty. That marks a kid. And had a brother who treated him inferior. Amazing he turned out good as he did. Imo. (The ultimate compliment...I don't need you I want you. Huge significance.)
The solicitation issue is not one of legality, but one of legal ethics and standards for lawyers. Lawyers are not supposed to initiate contact with a prospective client unless they have a prior personal or professional relationship, or the client is another lawyer. It's a rule meant to protect non-lawyers from being preyed upon by lawyers who will scare them into retaining their services. It's not illegal to do so, but it is unethical according to the Bar Association, and you risked getting disbarred for it. Jimmy was skirting the rules by talking directly to the one person on the bus who had returned the contact sheet (thereby initiating contact), but doing it loudly and in a way that everyone else could hear him.
Him paying the bus driver to pretend the bus broke down doesn't help make his case that he only wanted to talk to one person lol...
If Jimmy stubbed his toe, Rana would shriek like a banshee about how thats what he gets, Nahid would be like DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG DUDE, Suraj would say that he deserved to stub his toe but also he doesn't think he deserved to stub his toe, and Pat would violently force a fake laugh while exclaiming that he hopes Jimmy caused irreparable damage to his toe.
It's so based that The Normies hearted this
Nahid is right. There's always grey no matter where you go in life(not just high school). The concepts of black and white thinking hardly(if ever) exist.
@diamond dogs Very funny.
No, he's not. You can be a good person and learn to spot the wolves. Being smart and not naive doesn't require you to sell your soul. That's just the easy way... the bitch way.
UH.....except when you have to vote!!!! Red or blue only options!
@@MacGuffinExMachina That's what he said..
Hehe... Grey Matter 😂
Jimmy needs a partner in crime, he wants Kim to be this person and she wants to do things the right way. Very interesting dymanic these two. It hits so real.
This was a huge episode. It was about both Jimmy and Kim taking chances on themselves. It moves the story forward in a big way. Lots happened.
Yeah there was no way Jimmy could hold down a legit position for very long.
He doesn't hold a position for long because he doesn't meet his standards(if he has any at all).
The cobbler video is on the DVD extras lol
Seriously?
I'm not saying steal from your family it's just the way I've interpreted the scrne at the beginning was that his father, with fair warning, still gave out his money to someone that was scamming him. To the point that he was the known sucker where people go to get monry for free with a little sob story. When you guys say he's just "stealing from himself" you're right. But people were stealing from his dad which means they were stealing from him as well. If his dad was just going to give it away, if life is going to be so shit then why not be a shit back? It's an unfortunate choice people have to make everyday.
You don't like Jimmy anymore?! .. this is who he is. A wonderful character study. Like BB... we watch. We try to learn. Hopefully not judge.
Most people judge. It shows they're emotionally invested in the show.
SE1 & SE2 of" Better Call Saul takes place in 2002, six years prior to Breaking Bad.
*it premiered on Feb 8, 2015
Breaking Bad takes place between 2008 and 2010.
*it aired between 2008 and 2013.
it's a little thing but it kinda bugs me that you guys are calling him Saul when he is clearly not Saul Goodman yet. not by a longshot.
the_nikster Everyone has a moment when they switch from calling him Jimmy or Saul. I called him Saul through most of S1 because that's who I knew him as in BB. Then I started calling him Jimmy. At some point I switched back to Saul. It kind of makes sense to use them interchangeably depending on what he's doing. He was pretty Saul-ish this episode.
@@83gemm actually by this point in the series, I was calling him Jimmy all the time. I think maybe they are calling him Saul so much because many of them just finished binging Breaking Bad. like I said, it's a little thing. they're calling him Jimmy more often now, I'm good haha
Who cares? He’s Saul because everyone knows him as Saul from breaking bad.
@@LukeIsyourfasha wrong he's James M. McGill attorney at law
The guy they got for JimmyMs dad was great casting, you can see the resemblance between him and Jimmy.
The Howard impression at 16:14 made me nearly piss myself laughing
I wish someone loved me as much as Nahid loves Omar.
Remember to pet the doggy - as much as he or she wants! Very impawtant 😊
Reality is not high school, bro.
What he shouldve said is "thats how a lot of people *see it*- hunter or hunted", not "thats how it really is". A lot of people see things that way, and thats why they take advantage of other people. But far more people dont see it that way, and thats why theyre not always taking advantage of people.
This is the origin of Saul's snappy way of dressing. That is what I call organic writing.
SPOILERS
8:07 "Let's just rewind the tape and pretend this never happened." Could kinda be foreshadowing the end of the season, no?
Wow that's one I missed.
This is just a suggestion, And I promise I don't care very much.
To help hide a spoiler, You could post the word,
"Spoiler" like you did. But then drop...
way, way, down here. So the actual part that might potentially be a spoiler would be hidden till the reader pushes the "more" button. I'm sincerely just attempting to be helpful. I know it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. But I had some time to kill...
So whatever .. nice catch on that flash forward. I'd bet my right arm, it's intentional (just for the hell of it, probably). They (the writers) may have a contest, every season for, who can write in the most (ff, fb, etc).
@@coolbreez1214 I didn't reveal much at all, so I figured what I did was enough. I take your point though. Also this show is so much better if after every episode you read through the post-episode discussion on the subreddit. This was just something I heard tho.
@@BasicallyBananas
Yeah I know you didn't really reveal anything. It's all good man.😜
I have only seen that site (Reddit a couple of times). I kinda enjoy scanning all the comments on UA-cam. I do get a little put off by the hostility, sometimes. But I try to keep it all in perspective. The whole world is communicating with each other. I think the longer it goes on, the better the human race will get at it. I love BB and BCS. These shows represent my "Star Wars/Star Trek". There should be a catchy name for us. Any way it was nice talking to you
✌️😎Peace
Jesus, the 2 guys on the right, thank god you weren't here for the Breaking Bad videos!
You guys have some catching up to do lol. Season 5 is insanely good and it's only 2 episodes in
The second episode is out??
@@_antonio_4915 yup, came out monday night
Nick im confused so new episodes come out every monday or sunday??
@@_antonio_4915 mondays. But episodes 1 and 2 were aired back to back
Chuck mught do a lot, but he would never collude with another law firm to set one of his associates up with a fake job offer. That would be considered unethical.
Very colorful episode!!
Nahid, stop expecting this to turn into Breaking Bad. It will never happen. Yes, there are some exciting crime elements to come - but they're not the focus of the show. If you keep expecting the show to 'pick up the pace', or for 'things to happen' (like plot and character elements aren't happening all the time on this show!), you're going to be sorely disappointed.
Is it just me or kaylee’s house looks like walt’s house
Omar is the MVP of this episode
I get where Jimmy's coming from. The bosses never acknowledges it when he's done anything positive or comes up with good ideas. Give credit where it's due. The firms Jimmy worked for was never right for him, as they stifled his initiative, and ability to do things his way. It's kind of sickening.
I seriously can't believe these guys are trash talking Jimmy here. This show is literally showing his backstory to explain the things he does and propping him up as a protagonist. Davis and Main were a bunch of douchebags who had three meetings to sign off on a boring as fudge commercial, and that 2nd year girl was a total stuck up B.
I don't think these guys are actually following the flow of the story, just keep talking about the lighting and exposure.
The whole point of the show up to this point was that Jimmy was a good guy who keeps making bad decisions. He's morally ambiguous.
As much as I like Jimmy, Davis and Main didn't screw up. He did.
@@parkerboy795 no, no one screwed up. jimmy didnt do anything wrong. obv he tried to get himself fired and we as the audience know that and should know then that he wasnt actually an asshole.
@@jessetheanimenerd3304 no, we cant be the judge of the bad or good decisions for him. most of the decisions he take, he had to. thats who he is, and thats his talents. no one has the right to say otherwise for him. morals are subjective. he's maybe ethically ambiguous. but after all, ethics and the law are made up shit by humans to preserve the idea of order over chaos. it doesnt mean its right or wrong.
@@saileshnaidu8102 That's a ridiculous way to view morals. You yourself said that it's subjective, therefore it's up to each and every person to decide for themselves what's right and wrong. It's absolutely okay to judge someone based on their actions.
BROMAR! The Best! Next to Bronesto!
I know this video is old, but I have to comment; is funny to me how you guys forget that Jimmy becomes Saul Goodman. And that just proves how well written this show is.
You could use that montage as a recruitment aid. If a candidate watches that and says, "Christ, what an arsehole" hire them. If they say, "wooh, go Jimmy" no way in hell: they're gonna be the one photocopying their arse at the Christmas party.
you have no idea how much a car actually costs, especially that mercedes back then or today
I love jimmy so much - but i love saul goodman more
He managed to make a bagpipe sound like chinese music
jimmy beeing amazing jimmy as he is...
Normies: i dont like him anymore..
jo wtf? i mean seriously guys
I cannot for the life of me figure out why I keep clicking on these. Almost every single word spoken by them, reaction after reaction, is either outright wrong or a horrible hot take.
8:23 when you talk crazy and the timer goes crazy
nice one normies
Why the freaking out about her using her work computer for the notice. She’s a grown woman who’s gonna be going through her shit?
Stop hating on jimmy.
And people still blame Chuck for Jimmy's behavior lol....
Chuck blamed Jimmy for their dad's business. As seen here, that wasn't the complete truth. Not that it makes Jimmy look that great either.
I was wondering why this vid was so much more enjoyable than usual, realized it's bc that one know-it-all with the glasses is gone
Which one?
@@arebutwords5102 guy who usually sits in the middle w/ his arms crossed
TRUE
Yo your fine with Pat though??
As a Latin American it's so funny to see how they think "tío" is the name or nickname of Hector Salamanca, while it only means uncle in Spanish 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i think they know. it's like rana calling mike pop pop
If I’ve learned anything is that this show isn’t really a party/group kind of watch 🤦♂️
I heard that the actual squat cobbler video is on blu ray. But theres a crappy version on youtube you should react to called "beaches n' peaches"
Check out The Last Kingdom on Netflix. Three seasons with a fourth to come. Based on the Bernard Cornwell book series the Saxon Chronicles.
Is Hannah ever coming back?
The cringe in this episode was strong.
Whataburger has the best fast food burgers. Way better than McDonald's and In-N-Out. Don't @ me.
Wait, do they have Whataburger in New Mexico?
@Mr Zilla
I'm with Pat. This EP is where I started disliking Jimmy.
He's standing up for himself. What's to dislike?
Praise Bromar he's the best
