The MacGyver moments in the Breaking Bad universe are my absolute favorite. Genius writing. Mike reaches in his glove box and you see his gun on purpose simply to throw off the audience. Then when you see him chewing the gum, you’re thinking, “what is he doing”?
I don't know why but this is one of my favorite scenes. Something about how simple and effective and creative it was. And watching the gum inside the machine was so satisfying.
To check if a car is following you, just drive around the block. Make four left turns or four right turns. If they make all the same turns, you know you're being tailed. It also tells your pursuer that their cover is blown, which may or may not be a good thing, depending on the situation.
I love that they think of everything like the fact that Mike has to have precise timing, when to pull out so that he got another car between him and Lalo
I love the small detail that there's a gun next to the chewing gum and you'd expect for a moment for him to take the gun but he takes out something else that you don't know what he'll use for. It's the counterpart of another scene from BB when Skyler confronts Walt and there's a phone next to a knife and you'd expect her to pick up the phone and call the police but she chooses the more radical option of drawing out the knife.
Newer cars are built to break easier because when you get in an accident you want the car to absorb the blow so you slow down slower. With older cars they don't break so it's an instant stop. Remember it's not the fall that kills you it's the sudden stop
Old cars, armor on the outside, new cars, armor in the inside. Tesla's, freakin tanks heavy as a F350 just daring someone to get in their way and find out
I love how the writers portray how Mike chooses cleverness over violence by pushing the gun aside and grabbing the gum. It‘s these small details that make that show so great.
i appreciate that when the writers give mike scenes like this, they make him smart in a way thats in line with his character. mike worked parking security, so it makes sense he'd know how to abuse the gates in this way.
The more I watch BCS, the more upset I become of how quickly and easily Mike was killed off in BB. I mean, Gus was blown up, Hector sacrificed himself, already injured and bleeding out Tuco shot in a gunfight, Hank executed after a massive shootout, Jack's gang demolished with a robotic machine gun, but Mike gets a cowardly shot in the chest. He deserved more dignity in death than he got.

V Cool acting AND writing. Now we know where the expression ''gumming up the works''' comes from. The writers take creative advantage over previously scripting Mike as an honest security gatekeeper at a parking lot. From his experience in arguments with Jimmy McGill, we infer that he knows much about the intricate, inside workings of an automatic payment machine. Brilliant writing! It really is.
I hate seeing things like that, as this is not the first time a newer Tacoma has been seen in BCS. This is set in 2004, but although it is, the identical cab of the 2005 Tacoma also debuted in 2004. Tbh, no one in New Mexico had an '05 Tacoma until November 2004, so it's pretty ridiculous to be seeing that.
But jeez I can’t help but feel bad for the smoothie guy for a shitty day he’s had, first an old man cuts him off just to leave the lot first. Then another crazy ass rear ends his car just to catch up to the old man. imagine what he’s going to tell his wife what took so long to get home
One thing I’ve always disliked about this show is how even though it’s supposed to be set in the early 2000s, you always catch these new cars in the background Just a thought
Mike was smart to lure lalo to the parking garage. He knew lalo would need more stickers to escape. Edit: thanks for all the likes and feedback. Please read carefully and if the al gor ith ms shut this post down, I did my best. Go ogle the anti mic rob ial properties of sil ver na no particles. They appear to be very potent at killing many types of ge rms including co ro na
He knows all these parking garages in and out, he's worked and staked out at each location, personally, to ensure Lalo wouldn't ever guess, he'd need tickets to leave the garage.
Technically saying, Mike Here Changed everything... Because of what Mike did, Lalo crashed a vehicle which got lalo in prison and he hired Saul to Bail out himself, And you know the rest... Saul Barely survived in Desert and After all what Happened to Saul!"😅
Crazy thing about Mike is that if he didn’t have that Philly steel worker mentality of knowing his role, he could have been a force unto himself in that life.
I don’t wanna come off as random or annoying but could you please tell me what a philly steel workers mentality’s like (I’m from UK). And I agree Mike is a force to be reckoned with

You clock on, you do your job to the best of your ability, and you carve out a profitable and stable niche for yourself and try and maximise your earnings. It’s a humility thing. Very self-effacing. He says more or less that Walt should have adopted that mentality rather than trying to replace Fring.

Mike was cool, calculating, and smarter than every other goon in the show. 😅
V Cool acting AND writing. Now we know where the expression ''gumming up the works''' comes from.
The writers take creative advantage over previously scripting Mike as an honest security gatekeeper at a parking lot. From his experience in arguments with Jimmy McGill, we infer that he knows much about the intricate, inside workings of an automatic payment machine. Brilliant writing! It really is.
2:27 why is there a what looks like a fairly new Toyota Tacoma in a show that takes place in like 2002
I know. I saw a Kia Soul right in the center frame while Saul was walking.
I hate seeing things like that, as this is not the first time a newer Tacoma has been seen in BCS. This is set in 2004, but although it is, the identical cab of the 2005 Tacoma also debuted in 2004.
Tbh, no one in New Mexico had an '05 Tacoma until November 2004, so it's pretty ridiculous to be seeing that.
Mike and his silver inflatables, remember he used a balloon to mess up power lines once
But jeez I can’t help but feel bad for the smoothie guy for a shitty day he’s had, first an old man cuts him off just to leave the lot first. Then another crazy ass rear ends his car just to catch up to the old man. imagine what he’s going to tell his wife what took so long to get home
More like "Lalo narrowly dodges appointment with his maker"
The faces Mike pulls during this scene is epic.
STICKERS, STICKERS! LALO YOU DONT HAVE ENOUGH STICKRSSS!!
Hours later in the parking lot:
Mike & Lalo are still in their cars.
This scene made me laugh so hard when lalo rear end that guy 🤣
Lalo takes BCS to another level after season 4🔥
lalo never should have challenged him in a parking lot, this is mike’s domain
Stay out of Mike territory
As much as I love this scene, I can't help but think the machine wouldn't accept another ticket while the gate was open. Still fantastic nonetheless.
Probably set up that way to be able to let people out quicker (can make a major difference when everyone's shift ends at the same time).
3:17 When someone stops at a yellow light.
Wow, amazing how they got that camera shot inside the machine. I fucking love this show!
err...they cut the back off lol
Everybody: uses a trusty gun
Mike: uses his trusty *gum*
Mike was my favorite on the show especially the part with the goofy guy in the Hummer
They guy stuck in his car at the north gate was my favorite character in the series. I wish they would have done more with him
One thing I’ve always disliked about this show is how even though it’s supposed to be set in the early 2000s, you always catch these new cars in the background
Just a thought
Vince Gilligan has confirmed that this scene took place in the future!
Amen to that, it's annoying.
@@barthoekstra6760Give the lame joke a rest...
Ermantraut, Mike Ermantraut
Mike was smart to lure lalo to the parking garage.
He knew lalo would need more stickers to escape.
Edit: thanks for all the likes and feedback. Please read carefully and if the al gor ith ms shut this post down, I did my best.

Underrated comment
😂😂😂 Good one!!
Lmao 🤣
He knows all these parking garages in and out, he's worked and staked out at each location, personally, to ensure Lalo wouldn't ever guess, he'd need tickets to leave the garage.
Perfect comment
Break bad and better call Saul amazes me every time. They have such great writers.
The writing is brilliant as is the photography. The shot inside the card machine just kills me.
Mike's police knowledge of criminal tactics reminds me of Rambo's military knowledge of how guerillas work.
They served Both in Vietnam!
Technically saying, Mike Here Changed everything... Because of what Mike did, Lalo crashed a vehicle which got lalo in prison and he hired Saul to Bail out himself, And you know the rest... Saul Barely survived in Desert and After all what Happened to Saul!"😅
Didn’t Lalo go to prison for killing that Fred guy?
2:26 well that's a nice 2017 Tacoma TRD in the year 2003
At best in 2003, Toyota had similar looking '05 Tacoma prototypes testing nearby in Arizona. Definitely ridiculous to see a newer one anyway
Finally about time someone uploaded this scene to UA-cam!
The slushy spilling always cracks me up lol
Mike deserves his own show.
40% of the show of one show and 7% of another is good enough
Showing the inside of the machine as the gum went through was a nice touch.
When your phone autocorrects "gun" to "gum" in a text-based-modern-day-electronic DnD and you gotta improvise
Crazy thing about Mike is that if he didn’t have that Philly steel worker mentality of knowing his role, he could have been a force unto himself in that life.
I don’t wanna come off as random or annoying but could you please tell me what a philly steel workers mentality’s like (I’m from UK). And I agree Mike is a force to be reckoned with
@@d__0053
So am I, mate. It’s a Coal Workers mentality, a Clyde shipbuilders mentality. You clock on, you do your job to the best of your ability, and you carve out a profitable and stable niche for yourself and try and maximise your earnings. It’s a humility thing. Very self-effacing. He says more or less that Walt should have adopted that mentality rather than trying to replace Fring.
He’s an actor playing a part. Everything you think you know about a character was written to make you feel that way.

Oh, is that right? Stunned. Absolutely stunned.
@@garnetnard4284 Bro you're so smart. Pat yourself on the back.
Man I adore that Monte Carlo
