[Music]
narrowing this down to ten characters
was a lot harder than you would think
hey it’s Phoebe from watch mojo and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten Breaking Bad characters
before we begin we publish new content
every day so be sure to subscribe to our
Channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos we’re
taking a look at our favorite characters
from only Breaking Bad so sorry better
call Saul let’s take a look at the list
bitch number 10 badger Brandon badger
Mayhew may have been an inept drug
dealer but he was a good friend to Jesse
and a source of comic relief in a show
constantly in need of levity he can
always make us laugh whether he was
working as a mascot for the bank
discussing his Star Trek script ideas or
getting busted by an undercover cop
despite literally exposing the cops
entire plan minutes earlier it’s a cop
man yeah another one right over there
Duke city flowers come on can you at
least be original was he easy for Walt
and others to manipulate sure but that’s
just a reflection of his trusting good
guy nature the mere fact that he made it
out of the show alive is a testament to
his character Resident Evil 4 takes it
by a long shot
please brother you from no man seriously
that chick the one you gotta rescue
she’s smokin bro and you’re like the
last undead dude on earth so how can you
not be dipping into that number 9 Walter
White jr. asked a year in a show filled
with dastardly characters while jr. was
a rare beacon of positivity
despite being saddled with cerebral
palsy Walter’s son was able to find a
silver lining in most situations when he
found out that his father has cancer he
tried to help him by setting up a
website to collect donations at times
his naivete towards his father’s
criminal double life could be hard to
watch particularly when it caused him to
lash out at his mother who he perceived
as the real enemy I mean why be such a
bitch but he was just trying to stick up
for his cancer stricken father and that
shows courage and loyalty it makes it
even harder to watch as he learns the
terrible truth about dear old dad number
8
Tuco Salamanca of all the psychotic
villains to appear on Breaking Bad Tuco
Salamanca was by far the craziest let me
unstable unpredictable and wildly
entertaining he effectively serves as a
foil to Gus fring the consummate
businessman Tuco’s passion for meth is
superseded only by his love of violence
something he displays with regularity
and without remorse tight tight tight
yeah he proved incredibly hard to kill
but in the end was ultimately taken down
by Hank in the season 2 episode grilled
gone but definitely not forgotten Tuco
remains one of the series most memorable
characters and helped pave the way for
Walter White’s ascension to the top of
number 7 Hector Salamanca
who would have thought that a mute
wheelchair-bound ex cartel boss would
wind up being one of Breaking Bad’s most
introduced in season two Tuco’s uncle
Hector Salamanca remained a fixture on
the show until the end of season 4 when
he famously blew up his longtime rival
Gus fring despite his seemingly harmless
exterior Hector proved to be a
formidable force throughout the series
besting everyone from Heisenberg to the
DEA w X Y alright that’s enough thank
you yeah thanks are you taking spell
Boyle to a tee and not afraid to get his
hands dirty
Hector showed us just how scary a
hotel’s front desk Bell could be number
six Gustavo Fring
unlike hot-blooded Tuco Gustavo Fring
was a shrewd businessman who was equal
parts ruthless and conniving I have an
offer that I think will be of interest
to you gus was the one person Walt
couldn’t outmaneuver until season four
that is what makes gus fring such a
great villain is his confidence he’s
always in control of the situation
always three steps ahead of everyone
else and just as happy playing the long
con as he is grabbing a box cutter and
slicing open and associates throat
unlike Walt he never sought glory or
recognition choosing instead to hide in
plain sight
while slowly building his drug empire
even after taking a bomb to the face he
still managed to go out like a boss
number five Hank Schrader
ww you figure that it was real Wilson
Walter White you got me
Hank started as a macho wisecracking DEA
agent meant to serve as an antithesis to
Walters mild-mannered chemistry teacher
however by season five he developed into
one of the show’s most emotionally
complex characters having survived in
numerous Horrors from a close call with
Tuco to a bloody shootout with his
vengeful cousins Hank had to overcome
everything from PTSD to a major physical
disability these hardships ultimately
made him stronger and helped him solve
the great mystery of his career who is
Heisenberg in the end Hank went out the
only way he knew how with a defiant
badass one-liner the smartest guy I ever
met and you’re too stupid to see you
to achievement number four
Saul Goodman may you is that Irish or
English Irish
faith and begorrah a fellow potato eater
my real name is McGill the Jew thing I
just do for the homeboys L want a piped
member of the tribe so to speak you know
you’ve written a truly fantastic
character when they get their own
spin-off show making his first
appearance in season two Saul Goodman
quickly became a fan favorite thanks to
his sleazy yet effective business
tactics surprising knowledge of the
criminal justice system and a collection
of hilarious one-liners for a price
Jimmy will go to prison for you like
badger
he provided Breaking Bad with some
much-needed comic relief and was able to
make viewers laugh even when his clients
were in seemingly hopeless legal
situations he may be a second-rate
attorney but he’s exactly the kind of
person you want in your legal corner
when the going gets rough it’s over
number three Mike Ehrmantraut Saul
come on jack-of-all-trades Mike
Ehrmantraut subscribes to one simple
rule no half measures throughout
Breaking Bad he always manages to see
things through to the end no matter the
cost at the same time he’s also a
complex character whose hard exterior
hides the heart of a dedicated family
man you are not the guy you’re not
capable of being the guy his mark is a
fixer for Saul Goodman and Gustavo Fring
eventually brings him into contact with
Walt and Jesse but unlike those two with
their tendencies to let emotions dictate
their actions
Mike somehow always manages to remain
calm under pressure can he be a little
surly sure is the effective damn right
I’m sorry Mike number two Jesse Pinkman
this is my own private domicile and it
will not be harassed bitch
where would Breaking Bad be without
Jesse Pinkman the small-time crook and
drug addict is the salt to Walter
White’s pepper in the early seasons he
existed to show Walt the ropes to the
meth game while serving as the perfect
narrative contrast to the cancer
stricken teacher however as the show
advanced we learned that Jesse was much
more than just Walt’s bumbling sidekick
and it’s the bond that develops between
them that serves as the show’s emotional
jess is arguably breaking bad’s most
tragic character a man whose touch may
as well be a death sentence and yet we
can’t help but love him and to think
creator Vince Gilligan considered
killing him off in season 1 yeah mr.
white
yes science before we unveil our top
pick here are a few honorable mentions
always do not say that lightly I know
what it could do to this family but if
it’s the only real choice we have if
it’s either that or are you getting shot
when you open your find one where you’re
not some hardened criminal walt spoon
what are you talking about you’re a
excuse me and a liar making stories up
about yourself what’s wrong with you
know what’s the matter with you lady you
better just back off okay my husband is
a DEA agent thought he was an astronaut
or an illustrator you better get your
your mind it’ll have a system yes am I
suppose you’ll want to hear my
qualifications number one Walter White
characters like Walter White don’t come
along often the chemistry teacher turned
drug kingpin captivated audiences with
his ever increasing megalomania as he
used his superior method of producing
meth to dominate the drug world this is
along the way he burned more bridges
than we can count and betrayed duped and
or straight-up killed anyone who got in
his way
Walter is not an inherently evil
character but one who commits evil deeds
to do what he thinks is right
I am NOT in danger Skyler I am the
danger
a guy opens his door and gets shot and
you think that of me no I am the one who
knocks often this puts him at odds with
his family and partners but to be frank
he eventually stopped caring until it
was too late at the center of so many
iconic moments Walter White was the
obvious choice for the number one spot
on our list
