Line 14:
** Was Gale merely a fanboy of Walt's, or did his admiration [[Ambiguously Gay|go a liiiiiittle bit deeper than that?]]
* [[Badass Decay]]: Justified with Hank. He goes through a [[Humiliation Conga]] that ultimately leads to [[Break the Haughty]], leaving him rather helpless and emasculated in the end. {{spoiler|He gets better though.}}
* [[Non Sequitur Scene]]: Averted. The [[Villain Song]] "Negro y Azul" is not actually a BLAM. It is a music video for a narcocorrido, a Mexican drug ballads. Though it might seem strange at first, music glorifying and talking about dealers or the Cartel is part of Mexican culture, and makes perfect sense in-story.
* [[Broken Base]]:
Line 33 ⟶ 32:
** Huell and Kuby, Saul Goodman's hired flunkies. Thanks to Lavell Crawford and Bill Burr's hilarious performances, their rare appearances are always a treat to watch.
* [[Epileptic Trees]]: For some reason this series seemed to inspire a lot of pretentious attempts to reframe it as something else. Everything from the relatively mild "Most of the last episode takes place in Walt's mind as he succumbs to his cancer" to the ludicrous "The entire series is Hank's daydream about what his boring brother-in-law might get up to in his off time". This all despite the series never really giving any indication that what you see isn't exactly what you get.
* [[Evil Is Cool]]: Mike and Gus. One is a grizzled old badass who can clear a room of hostiles out by himself, the other is a powerful drug lord running his operation right under the DEA's noses. Both are some of Walt's most dangerous ''and'' compelling foes.
* [[Fashion Victim Villain]]: Good god, just look at some of Saul's suits.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Todd is "Meth Damon", due to the show's subject matter and, well, looking a lot like a version of Matt Damon who got kinda screwed up on meth.
Line 43:
** Season 3 and 4 have both been improvements on the previous seasons. Lets just say that this show has grown more beards than ZZ Top.
* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: I'd like to thank Breaking Bad for ruining the simple call bell. Now I can't play Pit anymore!
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: "The Fly" is an unconventional episode that has people split down the middle on whether they love it or hate it. It's meant to be a cerebral
* [[Holy Shit Quotient]]: All the freaking time.
* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Both Jesse and Walt qualify.
Line 94:
** Walt crying to his son in "Salud".
* [[Too Cool to Live]]: {{spoiler|Tortuga. A smartass DEA mole played by Danny Trejo? Awesome! A shame he only existed to show the ruthlessness of the Salamanca Twins. At least he left us with one of the most creative cartel killings in the history of television.}}
* [[Unintentionally Unsympathetic]]: This is one of the reasons why Skyler's so hated. While it's hard to find fault in her being upset with Walt for the dangerous criminal lifestyle he leads, she
* [[Wangst]]: Skyler at times. Yeah, it sucks to be married to a meth cook. {{spoiler|But when you want in on his criminal empire and get put in charge of laundering his money, you shouldn't be surprised when he ends up being forced to kill shady people in the industry who want to kill him and his loved ones.}} Marie is just as bad when it comes to needlessly whining and complaining.
* [[What an Idiot!]]:
