- The most pointless HN Films video yet! This is NOT a normal episode ranking! Instead, take a dive with me into the exciting world of episode titles! What makes a good title tick? What about a bad one? Who even cares? Enjoy this video of some guy reading off the Breaking Bad wiki for 20 minutes.
Better Call Saul next week! - Розваги
I'm stealing this
what the…, where did u come from mr beat rice?
He loiters around my channel looking for video ideas to steal
Keen to see honestly
i’m getting way to involved in all these BB tier-lists. now i see you here on this channel 😭
We must beat our rice to commemorate this comment
We're clearly running out of idea's
"Cancer man" is a reference to an X files character
"Bit by a dead bee" refers to the consequences of the tuco thing even after his death, the bee being tuco in this context
the best part was when Walt said "I am Ozymandias" and the ground cracked.
Iron (Fe) = Blood
Litium (Li) = Meth
Sodium (Na) = Tears
Blood, meth and tears.
Beautiful title, S tier.
Lithium for meth? I don't get it.
@@attackoramic8361 I'm pretty sure it's one of the main ingrediences when making the product. Don't ask me how I know.
@@melgarinho7862How did you know?
3:33 i think the bee is tuco and it shows that even after tuco is dead, he stills causes walt problems (having to fake the fugue state).
Not just Walt but also Hank, who now suffers from PTSD due to his run in with Tuco.
The fact that I got a MLB ad with Bryan Cranston before this is crazy
Me too!! Lol
Oh my gosh same
11:26 hn films when he interacts with his subscribers
'kafkaesque':
- cool word
- obvious reference to the title in the episode
- also subtly references what happens in the episode (jesse thinking his situation is getting worse)
B tier
'green light':
- cool phrase
- obvious reference to the title in the episode
- also subtly references what happens in the episode (gus gives walter the 'go ahead' to start cooking meth again)
D tier
this might be my first dislike on a breaking bad ranking ever, mr n. films
I apologise for my oversight on Green Light, I was drinking heavily when I wrote that part
@@HNfilms you should probably stamp down your foot to drinking and say 'NO MAS'
Ugh. Imagining Plan and Execution actually being named "Candle" now.
I never knew what I.F.T. stood for until this video
HN Films, "Pilot" actually refers to Walt piloting the RV, which he is driving in the cold open. It is also foreshadowing the "pilot" of the Wayfarer that will collide with another "pilot" in midair, killing hundreds in season 3. Hope this helps!
"Mandala" also means in spanish send it, which could refer to Walt needing to sent the meth to Gus
Well yes, but in that context it is missing an accent mark
Good video, but I think there's some more meanings that I think are on the Wiki too. 'Grey Matter' is both the business, and about grey morality with Walter ending the episode deciding to return to cooking meth. There's also 'Sunset' which I see as also representing the RV being destroyed as the end of an era for the show. I think those two titles should be higher, but most episodes have clever titles.
Live Free Or Die is S tier
14:55 you suprise me everytime just how bad your opinions can get
The Teddy Bear Flash Forwards would've had a better payoff if, in better call, saul we see Howard hamlin and his wife Cheryl get on a plane, and it turns out to be wayfarer 515
Everyday I hope this guy Ranks Every Metasisasis Episode, you know we all want it.
I always appreciate a good tier list!
Say My Name is S tier 🎩
Better Call Saul next week! GET SUBSCRIBED!
NO WAY 😱😱
Thanks for your tierlist !!! Nothing like the idea of rewatching
Better Call Saul in full after following it from season 1 to 3...
then watching the last seasoins in a run when they finally released the previous to last.
***spilers****NOW though
I forever hate Heisenberg. ****
spoilers****
He kills Mike, so F*** him. Can'T stand him. The best man in that show, and he offs him like an animal. Die Waltheisenberg, sufffer. AMAZING work by Cranston!!! I love him so much, what a guy!!
That was, excuse me, a damn fine twin peaks reference
I recently rewatched the last episode of season 2 and I got shocked at how brilliant it is.
Love this concept--episode titles need more appreciation.
I.f.t not getting S is a crime. First episode i thought of when i saw this video. Great vid though man as always
You should make a video with your takes on bb spinoffs and how likely you think they will happen.
that thumbnail is pretty fucking cool
Breaking Bad as the shows title would be A tier, right?
Ya for sure, I do love some good alliteration
Love the Spyro music 👍
you missed the second meaning of Shotgun. The guy who Jesse stopped at the end was gonna shoot Mike with a shotgun, (that's what Gus wanted Jesse to think I mean)
love how you completely miss the symbolism of some scenes/titles lol
Im an idiot
Dude, I had this idea a few months ago, but it would be shortest to longest title
Gray matter is my favourite episode. Very underrated, if you care for character introspection you like it
Make a ranking every sopranos episode or ranking every succession episode PLEASE 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I talked about this in the bbu discord so I should get credit
We dont talk about the BBU discord
How could you do my boys Green Light, Cornered, and Say my name like that?!
so annoying how he somehow completely missed how green light also represents walt going back into the meth business smh
W 1 am video fr
I don't like the element thing for Felina, they never use a birch reduction (which is the meth cooking method that applies lithium) in the series, so it's dumb and stupid
Green light could get bumped up a teir as it’s also gus giving Walt the green light to cook again
don’t care about the video only skipped to the part with Sharon
Thats in the next video idiot
10:51 is that on a green screen?
Doubt it
Thx pooky
Here are the explanations for each episode in the series based on the wiki page, split in two so that my comment will be able to send.
Pilot: The pilot episode (first episode) of the series; a pilot light is needed to cook crystal; the alternate title Breaking Bad references the show itself and Walt breaking bad (raising Hell in Vince Gilligan's words)

...And the Bag's in the River: The second part of the Sweet Smell of Success reference as the second and final part of the Krazy 8 mini-arc; Walt's cancer diagnosis is no longer secret; "The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river" means that a situation such as Emilio and Krazy 8 has been handled

Say My Name: Walt says this at the start of the episode; Walt demands the names of Mike's guys; Mike addresses Walt by name before he dies; the original title Everybody Wins is a reference to Walt's line at the end of Buyout and is ironic because nobody wins here.
Gliding Over All: Walt Whitman's poem book previously owned by Gale and currently owned by Walt that becomes a smoking gun when it comes to Hank learning who Heisenberg is; Walt's drug business glides over everyone; there are aerial shots during the time skip montage showing the fumigated houses from above.

Immediately discredited for putting Seven Thirty-Seven in C tier. Thats insane
Okay lol then you put “Green Light” in the D Tier. Have you ever watched the series?? A cursory glance at Wikipedia would have explained the symbolism here.
Thanks for your tierlist !!! Nothing like the idea of rewatching
Better Call Saul in full after following it from season 1 to 3...
then watching the last seasoins in a run when they finally released the previous to last.

im in love with you
17:11 twin peaks
I’ll have 2 eggs over hard
@@HNfilms I'm hard
Say my name is the worst episode title in any show ever just because it replaced Everybody Wins
epic
I prefer better watch tv
Im pretty sure FeLiNa is supposed to mean "Blood, Sweat and Tears"
The elements that FeLiNa represent are the main ingredients in blood meth and tears so the episode title can also be read as Blood, Meth, and Tears
no fucking way you put kafkaesque above i see you
HEY
we are not watching
Really hard to sit through
My fav is IFT and felina
You're missing quite a lot of double meanings, e.g. "Sunset" being a callback to when Tuco told Walt and Jesse his cousins are going to arrive at sunset in "Grilled".
+Sunset is the final episode that the RV is in correct?
@@fawfulsfury626 I think so. How does that relate to the title?
The Rv is sunsetted
@@HNfilms I see.
