Don't forget about the writers. They are the real geniuses
I agree, but a script, no matter how well written it is, is just words on a page without the right actor to interpret it. Bob Odenkirk is a revelation in Better Call Saul. I hope he gets to do more dramatic roles.
@@nunocardoso5969 Who asked?
*Did you know that you have rights? The Constitution says you do. And so do I. I believe that until proven guilty, everyone's innocent.* - That's all good, man!
Legion S’all good, man!
I'd hire him
This interviewer is brilliant. He asks thoughtful questions and actually allows long, explanatory answers. It really allows it to breath. Bob is a treasure. He always delivers the goods.
I really hope this man wins an Emmy, not only for Better Call Saul but for everything else he's done and championed over the years. What a guy.
huludicidal/ I'm totally agree with You :)
He is the best and no question about it.
I personally thought Better Call Saul was gonna be mostly a comedy I was (pleasantly) surprised
D it’s definitely funny but it’s not any one genre.
Just like breaking bad.
the first two episodes seem like they wanted to be a comedy but then it seemed to figure out what direction it wants to go down
Turns out it was a tragedy
@@henrychen310 Yeah I just mostly meant given who the protagonist was gave the impression, it is proof prequels don't have to suck just because you know important shit that's gonna happen
I liked when Jimmy was trying to redirect his conflict with his brother by mentioning their shared childhood history and his brother responds positively until telling Jimmy that, "nothing will change what happened here today." The temperature drop in the room I was in.
Possibly the best show in TV history.
ptthunder not better than BB but close
that would be BB!
better call saul is much more plausible and based on reality. i had friends deep in the meth scene and we all agree that many premises from breaking bad were just ridiculous. from the manufacture of the product to the gangs and cartel hitmen it was mostly hollywood. there was even a mythbusters episode dedicated to breaking bad. in real life, walt and jesse wouldn't have survived beyond season one - either they got caught or killed before season two.
breaking bad was where they tried ideas and determined what works and what's ridiculous before making the show they really wanted to make.
BCS is better than BB.
Vince Gilligan and company couldn't have picked a better actor to play Saul/Jimmy than Bob Odenkirk. Some comedy actors are also adept at playing drama beautifully, and Bob is definitely one of them. He's able to bring the light, the dark, and everything in between that's required in order to bring this character to life. Yes, the writing is amazing (that goes without saying), but in the hands of a lesser actor, we wouldn't have the richly nuanced performance that makes us respond so strongly to this character.
Love you bob. You are an amazing actor.
Johannes Kaeding his stand up is not that either.
I personally think that Bob is doing for Lawyers what Hugh did for Doctors.
I feel more like Kim is doing lawyers justice
An actor who can articulate without a script, what a breath of fresh air
Mckean not getting nominated is a travesty
He has had so many amazing scenes in this show, especially the courtroom scene in season 3. Unbelievable acting.
Yeah I mean it would be easy to write Chuck as your typical jerk, but in his attempt to contain Jimmy he ultimately played a major role in transforming him into Saul (Who arguably is far worse than even slipping Jimmy). He meant well but his first mistake was not encouraging Jimmy to be a Lawyer at HHM (Even after Jimmy delivered them a MAJOR case) his last chance to turn Jimmy around was that major case with the old folks home, Jimmy had used fairly honest means and even was helping Chuck recover from his imagined illness. He meant well but he ultimately created the monster (or a far worse one) that he sought to contain or destroy.
@@lilkek6105 yeah... What a chicanery
Chuck’s struggle with Jimmy ultimately leads to Saul’s involvement with White.
@@juliareadscottishpiperandh4861 then why did you click on this video
Oh that scene in the insurance agent's office was STUNNING!! That was brilliant all the way around, then the very last shot as he's leaving, the LOOK ON HIS FACE gave me goosebumps. I had to rewind it a couple of times, it was chilling and perfect. Yeah, great episode to submit.
that scene was so incredible, I really felt bad for Jimmy but then things got dark lol
I can't remember which episode. I want to watch the insurance company scene again.
Of course, I cooouuld watch the entire season again😉
Quite an insightful man. His description of the nature and motivations of his character made me appreciate the show even more.
"Better Call Saul" is the all-time best show because of the phenomenal writers and the all-time best actors. The talent on this show can never be beaten. Michael McKean is sensational.
Such an amazing show.
My heart breaks for Jimmy and Kim 🥺
when season 5 comes on at last, I'll be happy
It's scheduled for mid 2020
...and here we are with another brilliant season, on to the finale!
Awoogaa last season almost heree
When I write I usually end up writing the ending first, or I more exactly, WHERE the characters and situations will end up, not details wise, but in general. Then the story naturally emerges of how it came about. Then I let the characters just lead me to that place. It’s very organic. Another great thing to do when you write is when you have a great idea, put it in the mix and make note of it, even (and especially) if that’s not where you are in the story currently. Then when the details from one point to the other materialize, it will be there waiting and can be added at the right time. Not all ideas stay in of course, nor should they. But it can be wonderfully creative, freeing and expressive to write that way. The most wonderful thing about writing novels is freedom from the confines of having to write in linear form; and the story doesn’t have to read in linear time. And that is one of the things I’ve often loved and admired about BB and BCS, (and the best of both film and television). They both play like reading a great novel. Where the pieces fall into place without playing in sequential order, often showing us the result first, then the journey (like the airline storyline from BB and the entire premise of BCS if you think about it) which builds terrific tension and leaves room for lots of creative expression, suspenseful tension and dread, and fully formed characters and storylines. Firstly, the actors and acting on both are simply second to none. But Vince Gillian and the writers on both shows are incredibly gifted writers, genius imagineers and storytellers really. Some of the best ever in the history of television or cinema. Without a doubt. There’s a reason these shows are part of creative writing college curriculum as well as part of the curriculum for psychology, directing, drama arts, and English majors. Because it’s PHENOMENAL ACTING, WRITING AND STORYTELLING ON EVERY LEVEL.❤️
I'm so exciting, I can't wait for "Better Call Saul" season 5. in February 2020. God I want it now
Guy is a legend
What Vince and the writers team have done with Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul will go down in history. So many amazing stories and characters that are filled to the brim with personality, craftsmanship and heart.
:):):):):);)👺
I just started watching mr show. In the skit where bob plays the milk machine and sings falsetto "where do i go now" is some of my favorite stuff ever.
seems like something I'm gonna have to watch... it keeps coming up
I ♥️ You Jimmy
such a down to earth dude. love bob. hope to see him in many more projects over the years.
I know Mr. Show and I keep hoping for David Cross to do a little cameo at some point. Bob did it back in the good days of "Arrested Development", and I don't see why it couldn't happen here.
I always thought he was funny on the Ben Stiller show and Mr. Show, and in his small parts in comedy movies, but never realized what a great actor he could be until I saw him in B.B. and in Better Call Saul he’s even better. Especially in the first season, he had episodes w SO MUCH dialogue. I don’t know how he pulled it off, but he’s shown that he’s a great dramatic and comedic actor.
That being said, I also agree with him that Michael McKean deserved an Emmy for season 3.
Bail Bondsman I too, loved Odenkirk on The Ben Stiller Show.
Especially as Manson!
Christopher Marlowe 😂 right.
I love Breaking Bad, I like Better Call Saul even more and I always liked Bob Odenkirk, BUT..
after I saw how he answered this question, I became a fan: 22:56
I love you Saul.
The guy interviewing Bob sounds like Rhea Seehorn at 1/2 speed
well i snorted at this
I'm a 23 years old woman and totally infatuated by you, Bob Odenkirk!
I love this show. I bought breaking bad on dvd. When this show is over I will buy it and watch it over and over. I will share it with my kids when they are older.
Bob almost looks at Michael the way Jimmy looks at chuck lol
Wow, Kevin Costner has really held up. 😊
Bob Odenkirk A instant favorite in Breaking Bad for me and I asked myself wow this guy should have his own show and there it was my friend have talked about the 2 shows for years and I never gave them a look. Now when I did I realise what I missed, these 2 shows are great!. Michael McKean was amazing I can't remeber if I've seen that actor before or if he just made such a big impression on me in the show but his performance was so good in telling the tale of a tortured man be it with electricity or just mental health problems.
Well, he was in Spinal Tap... and way back, Laverne and Shirley. I'm sure more, but IMDB it.
Saallll good man
I've just been catching up on the show in the past couple weeks. I cannot decide who is more dysfunction, Jimmy or Chuck and how, how, how did they get so messed up?
Big fan of Jimmy’s colourful metaphors
Mr. Show was awesome
best actor ever
Van Hammersly is the Mr Show pool player's name, Bob Odenkirk
Oh my GOSH enough with the Mr Show questions! Anyway, Bob is awesome and I love hearing him talk.
Bob Onderkirk Michael McKean (Jimmy) is an incredible great actor I always wanted to see him in his own TV show after I saw him in "Breaking Bad" and thanks the Amazing "Breaking Bad" writers We Bod Onderkirk black in this so good delightful Drama hit TV show "Better Call Saul" on AMC and now this show is the best Drama un this Network :)
Yap... Kevin Spacey is definitely not showing up. 😂😂😂
Love this interview. Bob Odenkirk, such a good Slippin’ Jimmy from Cicero. Creepy accurate.
I have loved Bob Odenkirk since he played Charles Manson on The Ben Stiller Show❤️
Me too!!
28:53 aww
💔 “...It’s in the transcript!!!”🎻 😭
"In the desert ... with a gun to his face"
Season 5: how did he knew???
He said with graves dug, talking about Breaking bad Where walt and jesse take him to the desert in season 2 i think it was
@@TonysLittleFavorite that and there was a similar situation in season 1
God this guy is a crazy awesome fucking good actor
Samlaski l12l I agree. People forget he was on Seinfeld. He hilarious
He knows his character so much. You can clearly see that he tought a lot about it... I always respected his work but with BCS, he surprises me every episode
Samlaski l12l an actor is only as good as his script for writers
Bob Onderkirk Michael McKean (Jimmy) is such a great actor, he put so much of him in his Michael McKean (Jimmy) Character.
“These are like the prototype of a chair” -Bill Burr
What a load of hooey!!! 💗
Actually Jimmy prevented a fight. This guy was going to put me out he quoted! so I thought about the show at the time and started acting like Jimmy the lawyer, I stood my ground comfortably and told him that he would be facing jail over the maximum term he seemed to go to jelly and buggered off! Cheers Jimmy/Bob!!
26:06 "Sorry"
Tip Toe, Tip Toe, I miss my Tip Toe. He goes wherever I goooo... I miss my
Tip Toe. He goes "ruff ruff ruff!". He goes "ruff ruff ruff!". Hosanna.
his brother is actually a PhD holder in chemistry
Movies and TV Shows always *emphasise* the meanings, which is unnatural but intense to watch, on the other hand, Better Call Saul does *not* emphasise the meanings which makes it realistic, natural, calming to watch, which might be a little boring but I think a protagonist walking in style while there was a big explosion behind him and he didn’t even move an inch is just not acceptable. I would rather watch the natural movies and TV Shows.
10:00 Series highlight... no.... 2010's TV highlight

did you know you have rights
Can someone tell me what slang/accent he has?
Watching the scene in the insurance agent's office, it never even occurred to me that Jimmy was genuinely breaking down. The "emotion" was so forced and contrived. Jimmy is a smart guy, if he's going in there actually trying to get a prorated rebate on his insurance, he knows he has to bring something better than that "pretty please boo hoo hoo" bullshit. The whole thing was nothing but a dig at chuck from beginning to end. I'm absolutely stunned to hear Bob say he thought Jimmy was actually losing it and that he relished doing the scene as an actor.
Jimmy was "acting", but it was coming from a place of pain. He was hurt that his battle with Chuck was continuing to affect him in new ways, with Jimmy now hearing for the first time that his malpractice insurance would be going up.
I saw it the way Bob related it. I saw a very real break down, which then morphed into a plan to get back at Chuck. To me, watching it, it started out very real, then became manipulative. Very clever
What interview programs in 2018 deliberately utilize hand mics? The ONLY reason they're doing it is to forcibly promote their brand "BUILD" that is conspicuously visible. That's because their company isn't nearly good enough to stand on its own.
Based on the absence of talent on the interviewer's part is a further illustration of why this content provider is unrecognizable and unknown.
Who is the mooch, I wonder
I wonder this too! it was clearly not a joke the mood of the interview got really tense just then, ANYONE know who he was on that show with and what the history is there?
@@johnymey4034 Probably Anthony Scaramucci
Ok we get it. The host is a Mr. Show fan...
بدنا ترجمة من شان الله 😢😢😢
kinda bothers me how sucha huge company can fuck up the title of a video like this.
I just don't like how actors like Bob refer to their character or namely "himself" as if it's 3rd person. Its like they're talking about a totally different person bet they know damn well that the actor and the character is basically himself. Seeing as it's not based off a book.
9Bang huh?
He's not Jimmy McGill. Jimmy and Saul are fictional characters that he has to portray. He's Bob Odenkirk. Hence, why he refers to his characters in third person. Don't know why that's so hard for you to understand. Also, he does not play himself. Please don't diminish his work by saying he's the same as Jimmy. He's wonderful at playing Jimmy but he's not like him in the slightest.
9Bang Apparently only fictional characters just exists on books and not films... what excellent logic.
smart comment
sike
I respect him as an actor, but that whole tv ad he participated in where he tried to circumvent American democracy with the electoral college was absolutely disgraceful. I've been a fan since Bod and David - but I can't respect this guy on a personal level given his complete disrespect for the democratic process.
