Top 10 Greatest Better Call Saul Moments


we had high hopes but no one expected
the show to be quite this good welcome
to watchmojo.com saw moments what the
hell is this world it’s when a man sits
in pie he sits in a pie before we begin
we publish new content every day so be

latest videos for this list we’re
looking at what we consider to be the
greatest scenes throughout the show’s
first four seasons
number 10 Mike meets Gus one of the
strengths of Breaking Bad was its
incredible cast of characters although
Mike and Gus weren’t introduced until
late into the second season both became
instant fan favorites
better call Saul took its sweet time
getting to their fated meet up but the
wait was well worth it after dismantling
his station wagon and finding a tracker
which was itself a brilliant scene Mike
turns the tables and finds his way to
Gus who meets him on a beautiful stretch
it’s not in my interest for hector
salamanca to die it’s mostly just
business but it was amazing to see these
classic characters come face to face for
the first time number 9 Kim’s car crash
by the end of season 3 Kim had worked
herself into overdrive and it came at a
major cost while driving to a meeting
with gap wood kim loses focus and
car crashes are nothing new on TV but
the way in which this scene was filmed
was original and horrifying it’s very
well edited and it gives viewers a
realistic and distressing sense of what
being in a serious car crash looks
sounds and feels like it’s fitting that
the episode ends with Kim watching her
hard work scattered by the roadside
maybe she should take a break
number eight Jimmy tries to get fired
it’s not all drama on better call Saul
it can also be the funniest show on TV
evidenced by the brilliant montage in
season two’s inflatable wishing to quit
Davis & main but unwilling to fork over
his signing bonus Jimmy does everything
in his power to get himself fired this
includes blending fruit in the office
playing the bagpipes and wearing those
classic gaudy Saul Goodman suits I took
your advice I’m blowing off steam
blowing off steam
both Breaking Bad and better call Saul
have the greatest montages in television
history each subsequent one somehow
finding a way to top the last this is
yet another example and plus it has poop
jokes you just can’t go wrong and we’re
not talking about a number one yes Thank
You Aaron number seven Chuck’s demise we
all knew it was coming but it was still
scary to witness after relapsing back
into this supposed electromagnetic
hypersensitivity Chuck has a full-on
meltdown and literally destroys his
house to find out what’s still using
electricity this is shot and yet another
fantastic montage and scored to some
truly eerie music which perfectly
conveys Chuck’s deteriorating mental
state and then the episode ends with the
show’s most gruesome scene as Chuck
rhythmically kicks a table until the
lantern falls engulfing his house in
flames it was a far darker demise than
anyone could have expected and while not
many people liked Chuck no one deserves
to go out like this
number six the pill swap only better
call Saul can make a five-minute scene
feel like an hour in a good way
when it comes time to swap Hector’s
pills nacho and ex a rather
intricate plan sabotage the
air-conditioning so Hector takes his
jacket off pretend that something’s
wrong with the money have Hector inspect
it then purloined the pills from the
pocket of his discarded jacket while
he’s distracted
the scene is unbearably tense because we
know full well that this is a literal
life-or-death situation for nacho and
while his plan is successful we must say
throwing the pill bottle back into the
jacket pocket was a pretty ballsy move
number 5 Mike kills Werner after Werner
breaks out of Gus’s secret living
quarters Mike is tasked with tracking
him down
and when Werner accidentally unveils
information about the super lab to rival
Lalo Salamanca mike has little choice
except to execute him of mice and men
style I go back now I go back in the
morning what difference can it make it’s
not gonna happen
not only is the scene heartbreaking and
the cinematography gorgeous but it
serves as a fantastic character moment
for Mike gone is the relatively peaceful
nonviolent Mike of old he’s now
officially a thug working for a
psychotic drug lord and Werner’s murder
serves an important transitional moment
to bridge the divide between better call
saw Mike and Breaking Bad Mike no more
half-measures indeed number 4 Jimmy and
Kim swindle Ken poor Ken if his car
isn’t being blown up he’s getting
swindled granted he kind of asks for it
in the season 2 premiere Jimmy and Kim
posed as financially ignorant siblings
interested in Ken’s investment skills oh
my god did we drink the entire bottle
Cheers I think we’re ready for the check
they get drunk on expensive tequila and
kend is left only with an exorbitant
bill it’s a fun scene and also serves a
deeper purpose what is it is this right
Jimmy and Kim clearly have a blast
but while Jimmy would love for this
lifestyle to continue Kim sees it as a
fun night and nothing more where do you
see that flashlight although the two
have chemistry their personal
relationship and business practices are
not sustainable no matter how much we
may wish they were number three Jimmy
and Chuck’s final talk remember when we
said that not a lot of people like Chuck
it’s not exactly hard to see why you’re
not a real lawyer University of American
Samoa for Christ’s sake first he breaks
Jimmy’s heart by telling him he’s not a
real lawyer and then when Jimmy comes
around to make amends Chuck tells him
that he can’t stop himself from hurting
others and that he never truly cared
about him I don’t want to hurt your
feelings
but the truth is you’ve never mattered
all that much to me they’re horrible
final words to hear from a brother and
it seems to be the catalyst that finally
pushes Jimmy towards their reputable
legal practices and the Saul Goodman
moniker he tried living an honest life
for Chuck but if none of it ever
mattered then what’s the point number
two
Jimmy’s testimony while we all hate
Chuck there’s no denying that Jimmy can
be a slimeball as well this is probably
most evident in the season 4 finale when
Jimmy utilizes his dead brothers memory
and legacy to worm his way back into law
I’ll never be as moral as him I’ll never
be as smart
I’ll never be as respected will never be
as good
Jimmy visibly moves the court with a
touching speech about living up to the
esteemed McGill name I never had a
chance to write him a letter and to tell
him all the things that he should have
however he later reveals his true self
boasting that it was all a ploy and Kim
as equal parts baffled and devastated
the man she respected and loved is now
gone replaced by an imposter practicing
under a different name Jimmy Jimmy what
so I’m good man we’ve finally witnessed
to the birth of Saul Goodman before we
unveil our topic here are a few
honorable mentions broke my boy I broke
my boy I thought I owed it to Jimmy to
tell him
owed it to him did you owe it to Rebecca
you tell her your theory that Chuck
intentionally set himself on fire one
number one
Jimmy cross-examines chuck chicanery is
often considered the show’s greatest
episode with most of the praise aimed at
the famous court scene right so with the
lights out you don’t feel them if the
guards not flowing no no sorry about the
exit signs I guess they couldn’t kill
those for you during the
cross-examination
Jimmy pulls one over on Chuck by
revealing that he slipped a phone
battery into his jacket pocket to
disprove his eh s crazy Chuck completely
loses his cool scaring everyone in
attendance into shocked silence the way
the camera slowly creeps onto his face
combined with Michael McKeen’s brilliant
performance told us that this was the
beginning of the end for Chuck he’ll
never change Jimmy’s face says it all as
much as it hurts him he had to destroy
his brothers reputation to advance his
own it’s heartbreaking drama and amazing
television do you agree with our picks
