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."

Pretty brave of them to put this in their commercial.
Put this over Rick and morty watching interdimensional cable and it would still fit together like when watching the real fake doors commercial
@@kitkatkruncher22 AAAAAAGHHH RICK AND MORTY VIEWER RUN 🏃♂️
Nice stolen comment
@@redact7577 AAAAUGH PEOPLE WHO DONT ENJOY THE SAME THINGS YOU DO, RUUUUN
Their working for Trump now, and don't have to hide their law breaking anymore.
You know, for a fictional restaurant, Los Pollos Hermanos has some really good ads. They actually make their chicken seem delicious.
With spicy new sauce called Blue Magic!
binging with babish did a recreation(I think with the recipe the showrunners provided) and it did look amazingly delicious.
It is delicious, i go there with my gf every sunday but my only complaint is that one day I found a blue crystal on my order. Dont know what it was tho.
That's why this scene works so much
James McGill’s ads were top tier
I am glad they show how they make their own silica gel packets to absorb the extra moisture of the sauce. Very cutting edge.
And they even wear protective gear to perfectly preserve it. Such a nice thing to do.
I dare say, they really sell the whole process to me. Just the way they do it makes it all look so…addicting.
Its not sauce its frying batter
That silica is 99.1% pure bro..
@@massious1268 YEAH SCIENCE
That scene where Gus standing as the trucks pass-by is badass, it's like a general watching his army march forward
One of my favorite shots in the show
Well, you see that because it is.
Yes, or a King surveying his kingdom. Very cool
ikr
and indeed, he was at war.
Imagine if the owner of the restaurant was some kind of drug lord. Sounds like an amazing concept for a show
What an interesting concept i would definitely watch that!
I don’t think that would work tho, this owner seems way to nice
@@thebigsucc6292 too*
Maybe some ex warlord from chile can make it work
Maybe a guy who’s name rhymes with sus?
Their blue seasoning salt is so addictive.
Ikr
If i would have to rate it, i would put it pretty high
Really persuasive
@@xXLesterGamingXx Yeah me too. Deserves 99.1/100 in terms of taste
that’s.....not salt
I love the fact that Gus have created a legitimate fried chicken business only as a cover up.
I mean it's something that would already take a life time to achieve and sustain but he does that on the side, just to relax when he's not selling drugs.
Money laundering
@@Hall216 That's the cover. The real intention is to play IRL Dine and Dash.
It's as much a Gus thing to do as it was a Mike thing to do when Mike showed up for his Madrigal security job and did it right.
He doesn’t even need to deal drugs with a franchise.
Kind of easy when it doesn't have to make money.
I particularly love how when Gus' employee pounds on the lid of the chicken batter, it syncs up with the drums.
Beautiful little touch that many people will never notice.
@@BobPaganiit's easy to notice. But indeed many will gloss over how good it is
Didn’t notice
Agreed
Whats the song name?
Makes you realise how much work gus really put into in his distribution system, and how walt came and just blew all of it away
Soo true, Walt is truly more villainous than Gus.
@@Phriffo bruh how does destroying a cartel make him more villainous
@@Rimanda Walt is generally more ruthless than Gus, if you have watched BB and BCS, you will know what I am talking about.
@@Phriffo more ruthless, yes. But I wouldn't call him more evil, Walt is reckless. Gus is calm but deadly.
@@Rimanda he has poisoned a child, committed several murders (more than gus), is responsible for the death of 2 DEA agents and what not. Gus is also a villian but walt isnt far behind, on one end gus is cold and calculated whereas walt is ruthless
Man, I am still amazed how Hank managed to pressure Fring into doing this.
And how he brutalized that poor teenager, ASAC Schrader needs to be stopped
The true antagonist of Breaking Bad. Walt and Jesse won in the end though.
@@tankdogization they died
@@juanlilg2868 that's right! ...he just went on to make a terrible breaking bad movie🤣🤣 ...I hope Vince comes back w more shows
@@rickrolled2765 I always heard that el camino was good
Howard and Lalo were great as always in this scene
I know what you mean lmaooo
@@currantbun2166They really were part of the foundation for the whole show. Amazing work Peter and Vince C:
That's FOUUUUUULLLLL☠️☠️☠️
💀💀
😂😂😂 that's crazy
did people notice the sounds were in time to the music as if to indicate the whole business is a well oiled machine. that kind of detail is why this show will always be one of the greatest things ever produced. That attention to detail is simply outstanding.
wow good catch. very cool
And Walt ruined everything
They really managed the "High Quality Fast Food Commercial" vibe here.
Methanchickentendies
I mean this seems rly realistic
@@ertihug4897 You'd be surprised. Fast food commercials (ANY food commercial) is remarkably expensive to produce. The budget for a whole Breaking Bad episode or three may go into just one commercial. But they managed to replicate it quite well here for a small fraction of the budget.
I got "Your Mother" vibes here.
I wouldn't mind a low budget version produced by Saul's crew
Can we get the green light already for an actual Los Pollos Hermanos fast food chain. It'd be so good.
IIrc there were several events where some fast food places actually imitated Los Pollos Hermanos to promote new seasons of Breaking Bad or Better Call Sau.
I would be a neat ghost kitchen!
There's a restaurant in Phuket, Thailand called Los Pollos Hermanos. I think it closed though because of the pandemic, but the sign is still up.
there's one in Romania
Yes please, like Bubba Gump with Forrest Gump.
1:02 The squeaking of the cart synced to the music is such a little touch of sound editing that really helps build the scene.
2:03 Even the trucks' hydraulics follow the song's rhythm lol
They are employees of los pollos hermanos.What did you expect? to work there they ask you for a university degree in nuclear engineering
Edgar Wright watching this : mmmmm
Love that they had Madrigal in there despite it being another two seasons away
Where?
@@ali18y84 bottom fine print when it mentions los pollos hermanos
Bravo Vince
I wonder if it was George Lucas’d in or if Vince and the writers really had planned every detail out.
@@Garbageman28 They’ve had to, otherwise it would be hard trying to think of a whole corporation for Gustavo really in a short deadline frame. They must’ve thoroughly pieced in the beginning of Gus
The more I watch this sequence the more I understand why Mike hated Walt so much for destroying this distribution system!
He even said: it all ran like clockwork. After seeing this scene he meant it in a very literal sense.
Especially with all the bloodshed that went into setting this up (Werner, Lalo, Howard, etc.).
“We had a good thing you stupid son of a bitch!” Felt every bit of that when he yelled at Walt 😕
@@robo2000nitro Walt's ego couldn't take it that this was so much better than he could ever do.
No more chicken
1:47 I just realized the reason why they pass it through the curtain instead of just giving it to the shipment guy is so that he doesnt know which barrel has the blue in it, and is thus one less loose end in case the cops ever stop him.
Knowing a man like Gus is behind this restaurant, you just know that every meal is going to be up to standard.
It's true he was such a good businessman, he should have just run his chicken restaurant 🤣
Everything is up to pollos standards
The meals will always be, acceptable.
@@48956l Gus didnt care about the money. He only cared about revenge.
@@mistameff3528 Well, when his brother was alive he cared about the business. Hence it was going to be a double meaning. Yes, his uncles, but also him and his own fam that Hector killed. He carried on the name in memory, and as a reminder. He was flying the revenge flag all along in front of Hector's face while pretending it was for his Uncles.
I love it when he says "only the freshest herbs AND spices!"
As if spices weren’t a thing commonly used on chicken at the time
They use the chilli P
Customize an omelette with all the right spices, lean back like a mack with my cantaloupe slices
And gus’s uncles being walt and jesse the cooks😂
“The Spice must flow!”
The hammers synching with the music at 1:36 is beautiful
1:17-1:27 the pouring sounds sort of add to the beat as well!
I caught that too. Amazing attention to detail.
As soon as the song starts almost everything is synced to it
Anybody know the name of the song?
@@javierzavaleta9723 Veneno - chuy flores
The fact that this is such a genuinely good commercial that I'm annoyed that I can't actually eat there is just fantastic
I know. Visited the filming location for the restaurant in New Mexico. It was really cool being in there but unfortunately serves pretty subpar tacos instead of delicious chicken.
0:40 The transition between "good" and "bad" when the cumbia begins to play is simply a work of art.
Man, i really wish that los pollos hermanos existed in real life. Their chicken looks delicious
Binging with Babish made a version of it, if you're interested in knowing what it was like, but yeah I'd absolutely love if it was a real irl chain
Same
@@matthewlacey4198 hmmmm
well it actually existed but it was for only 1 day lol
It does. It's called: pollo loco
Kudos to Skip MacDonald and the editing team for making montages like this, they never miss a musical beat as well in both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
Bravo skip
I particularly love how when Gus' employee pounds on the lid of the chicken batter, it syncs up with the drums.
@@jordanadkins2427 Yes!!! Excellent editing work. I just noticed that for the first time.
Skip Macdonald edited the show, E I E I...
Skip Macdonald, Kelley Dixon, Curtis Thurber, and a whole hell of a lot of other people are all masters of what they do
0:48 best transition ever
Could've been better by dropping all the chicken first then rain the salt then the salt turns blue then all the blue just falls on that basket and there boom transition but instead it was only a fade which is all they could do back then because of limited editing but still looked cool at the time so it works
The fact that Walt doesn't shut the containers correctly 😭
He's actually the only one that works off beat, foreshadowing his eventual betrayal. Bravo Vince!
I love how this fictional commercial for an in-universe restaurant has better direction than half the stuff that plays during the Super Bowl.

nobody cares guys, nobody cares.
“Hey Gus, I found a bag of blue broken glass in this jar of fry batter. I threw it away, it’s not a big deal right?”
“Step into my office. Let me get my box cutter.”
He is not up to Pollos standards
😳
"Listen to me now and listen carefully. You go out now. Not tomorrow, not after your work, now and bring that bag of broken glass back. Then you will return to your work and at some point in future, you will forget about this conversation and you will carry on with your life."
fr tho I feel like gus would not take it out on the employee. he always made a point to be super cordial and respectful towards his Los pollos hermanos employees to keep up that excellent reputation. now as for whoever packed that batter.... 😬
He'd have told the employee to throw the entire batter bucket out for physical contamination. Easy cover.
"slow cooked to perfection"
*cuts from rotisserie to fried chicken"
Seems legit.
It's sad to realize most fried chicken restaurants today aren't up to pollos standards
The delivery of "But don't take my word for it ... just one taste, and you will know" is so smooth, especially with the transition.
So kind of Gus to make sure his employees had some blue crystalized candy to snack on as they cooked.
This scene represented how good everything could've been. All Walt (and Jesse) had to do was cook and not get in over their heads and they could've made as much as they ever wanted, just like Mike said. Who knows what could've happened, Walt mixed with Gus and Lydia would've been absolutely unstoppable, and if it weren't for the Hank - book scene they likely would've never been caught.
Gustavo would have killed walter anyway
I really hope this is a joke comment and not just an oblivious assumption.
Gus was trying to replace Walter with Gale because he knew Gale would be obedient but Walt was power hungry. He would have killed Walter once Gale learnt his recipe, which is why Walt ordered Jesse to kill Gale first. Even if Gus was willing to keep Walter around, it would have still been perilous for Walt’s family, as seen when Gus literally states that he is willing to kill his infant daughter. So no, Mike was wrong, it wouldn’t have ended up good even if Walt kept his head down, either Walt or his family would be dead.
Edit: Even if Walt didn’t run over the 2 drug dealers, and Gus didn’t think of him as a threat, that would still result in Jesse’s death, since it was a two-against-one gunfight. So there was still never an option for Walt and Jesse to “keep their heads down” and continue working for Gus. Either one of them would end up dead.
@@wu2166 I mean if Walt wasn't so power hungry to the point where Gus was considering a replacement in the first place, that would have been the ideal scenario for Walt.
@@mateusz_0 Gustavo knew that Walter had terminal cancer
@@wu2166 before walt/jessie killed those two gus didn't really think of replacing them,only afterwards gus saw how dangerous walt was
I’m kinda surprised that Los Pollos Hermanos hasn’t been made into an actual restaurant chain. Bubba Gump from Forest Gump was made into a restaurant chain, Los Pollos Hermanos could easily be made a actual thing.
Probably a lot easier to start restaurant chains back then
Probably less family friendly than Bubba Gump
Doesn't necessarily need to be a chain. But if it had ONE location, accurate to the set in the show, it would get tons of visitors and tourists! And Gus could make an appearance literally whenever he wanted!
I like how an ad for a fictional fast food chain is still better than most ads
As a chicken myself who has witnessed this, I can confirm we do very often get filled with this highly addictive blue rock candy.
As an eater of Mexican food, I can confirm that eating the pollos from Los Pollos Hermanos has weird side effects. Still good tho
Jesus christ chicken, they are minerals!
@@jeremiah4715Gus is from Chile not from Mexico🇨🇱
@@Enno9 It's neither really....I guess it's a southwestern/Mexican take on US Southern Food (fried chicken)
Certainly not Chilean though
@@Enno9 Gus adapted Chilean food for the Mexican palette. He said that to Don Eladio
0:34 zesty slow-cooked juicy golden brown rotisserie chicken, transitioning into fried chicken. lol
1:36
I always loved how the hammering syncs up with the beat of the music!
0:46
Client: excuse me sir what is is the blue thing from the commercials
Gus: I apoligize it was a new condiment, product we were planning to sell but it didn’t tasted good
"But I'd like to try it!"
It was not to Pollos standards.
0:54
and who would these men in yellow hazmat suits be? surely your new condiment does not need that level of precaution
Just tell them the hazmat suits are for working with processed Chili powder, that stuff's no joke when the Capsaicin is purified.
That salt to crystal transition was brilliant, the visuals here are absolutely amazing.
The visual work of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is just mesmerizing to watch. The way the hammer hits on the bucket top lines up with the percussion in the music, man. I love BCS but If they ever made a Los Pollos Hermanos prequel on Gustavo and how he made his chicken empire it would go nuts.
I'd watch it.
God I love this scene. The way they show the entire process of production and distribution, the way everything is synced with the music, the transition into the BrBa theme. Just *chef's kiss*
This is forever the best Breaking Bad intro
1X6 episode intro will always be the best intro , no just best breaking bad into but best intro in tv history , watch it with your ear phones and let me know how it js
The intro with "LOS CUATES DE SINALOA" is good as well.
“One taste and you will know“
“Tight! Tight tight!”
I love the disclosure at the bottom: “Los Pollos Hermanos is a registered trademark of Madrigal Electromotive” 😂
0:02 Better Call Saul moves at a slower pace, yet feels all the richer for it. Fits too perfectly 😂
honestly my favourite transition in the whole show, and one of my favourite montages, which is saying a lot because there’s so many good ones
0:27 today we carry on their tradition in a manner that would make my uncles *disgusted*
😂😂😂😂
"What kind of asmr do you listen every night?"
Me:
I especially love the Blue Salt on the table at Los Pollos Hermanos. Really adds the flavour!
It's so high, isn't it?
@@angelocoll7802 oddly satisfying.
one of the best intro in Breaking Bad
0:11 "Los pollos hermanos, inc is a registered trademark of madrigal electromotive GmbH" i've never noticed that until now
Foreshadowing.
the first time i watched this, i kept rewinding it because of how brilliantly it was shot.
the tune that plays in this is veneno by chuy flores, if anyone wants to know.
Thx i was wondering what the name of the song was
Thank you.
I legit thought this was a real ad when I first watched it…
The crystal rain transition and the hammer sync is just perfect
The Los Pollos Hermanos chicken looked sooo delicious especially after finishing Better Call Saul weeks ago!! And it was really nice to see the methamphetamine scenes with Walter and Jessie again later!!! I crave that fried chicken Soo much!!
I can't believe they aired footage of Gus' operation in this commercial and the DEA still couldn't figure it out!
The DEA doesn't watch AMC
They could have just watched Breaking Bad and in the first episode they didn't know that it was Walt, They didn't have to watch three seasons in
I have absolutely no clue what it is, but Walt's slight head tilt as he moves the containers to that music is just... oddly pleasing and satisfying.
Studio Ghibli always makes food look delicious.
I’ve always been impressed with Gus’ ability to have this many people on his payroll all of whom know his secret identity and keeping it a secret for this long. I mean, even the low level mooks that drive his trucks and pack his product know the truth.
It helped that he had a reputation and the cartels behind him.
Not just the restaurant, but the laundry service as well.
It all worked like clockwork until Walt messed things up
Really bothers me that the guy at 1:07 didn't close it right
gus who literally came out of a sewer: you are not up to los pollos standards *cutter sound*
Gus looking off at the trucks you can see how proud he is of his operation
Would’ve been amazing if they just aired this straight up in the super bowl commercial break as a trailer for season 3
Man, Mike was dead-on right. Gus had the perfect operation. If ego didn’t exist, he could’ve done this for the rest of his life without anybody catching on.
Can we have some appreciation for the background music
Matching that mallet to the music was a stroke of editing genius.
As one of the daily Los Pollos Hermanos customers. I can confirm this is the way to make our fine chicken
I love how Gus was just chillin at the end. Prolly thinking: “good bye drugs, off ya go into the world!”
"slow cooked to perfection" overtop falling fried chicken still makes me laugh to this day
also, there's a lot of overhead at this drug packing plant, I'm pretty sure you don't need at least 3 or 4 of those guys on the line
Take it up with Gus, I'm sure he'll appreciate your input on how to run his business.
@@Sheikh_Speare He's not returning my calls for some reason.
@@artstsym odd, the man is very punctual. 🤔
@@Sheikh_Speare It's true... although you know what, I think he did mention at some point that he visits an old friend on days like this, so I'm sure he's just busy reminiscing.
@@artstsym You have legitimate criticism but he can't face up to it.
In the little village where I 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 seasoned 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.
Genius. One of the best BB intros. I love the transition between the surface and undercover trade at LPH, with the music linking them both with a consistent thread.
This is weirdly satisfying.
Also this background music is better than it has to be.
The fictional commercial is so much better than the real ads.
"What do you do for work?"
"Oh, I work for Los Pollos Hermanos and weigh drugs into bags."
Gus is legit probably one of the best Restauranteur’s ever.
Dude has a standard for quality and he sticks too it.
Waltuh
One of my most replayed clips of all time.
I think Gus took Los Pollos Hermanos serious. Not just as a cover, but as a genuine business
Something about the way Walt moves his head at 0:52 is so satisfying
Ik. thank God I'm not the only who thinks it's satisfying.
Los Pollos Hermanos is truly the chicken restaurant ever
it really is one of the restaurants ever made

I would still eat there even knowing who Gus really is.
1:03 never has that rolling sound effect sounded so good along with the music
I don't know why, maybe because the transitions are amazing in this scene, it will always remain one of my favorites. Bravo Vince !
You know it's just really cool, all the same. All details in this show. For example, this "ad" says that Los pollos hermanos is from Mexico, despite Gus being the founder. Gus was born in Chile
I absolutely love the music in this scene.
Canonically, Los Pollos Hermanos is really well run and sells genuinely good chicken. If Gus had just focused on his legitimate business rather than on the drugs, he could have had the next KFC on his hands and made billions.
That's a good point, and another way he was similar to Walt - both passed up legitimate business that would have made them just as rich
Breaking Bird 🍗
Funny. Would make a great title to a Breaking Bad parody.
"ill be back for that chicken eh! Its too tasty to stay away from" - lalo
los pollos hermanos is the chick-fil-a of the breaking bad universe
props to the editor for managing to keep the hard cut into the breaking bad theme instead of just fading out the clip and fading in the video outro
This guy named Lalo told me it was the best chicken he’d ever tasted.
Is nobody gonna talk about how hard the beat is?
Why is the music in this sequence so good?
“And it all ran like clockwork” -Mike
Can't wait for a Los Pollos Hermanos rebrand of KFC
Out of all the Breaking Bad intros and openings this is my favourite one of all-time 🤩
