@doot47865 years ago This the scene where Walter started becoming the danger 8448
@

@juansebastianJSSSR2 years ago As someone who is an expert in not doing meth, I can confirm that it is not meth. 1083
@

@beyonddefeated2 years ago Fun fact: The part where Walt blows up the room was actually pure improvisation. Actor Bryan Cranston actually brought an IED onto the set, which just shows his dedication to his act. 17863
@

@Michael-McCollum3 years ago The symbolism here is incredible. Walt saying that it’s not meth symbolizes that it’s not meth, remarkable stuff 44312

@stlchucko5 years ago “Watch me put a cig out on my tongue. I’m so intimidating”
Heisenberg- Hold my chemistry book 13765
@

@wookiebush74492 years ago Fun fact: This entire show was improvised. AMC went to do an interview with Bryan Cranston about Malcom in the Middle and he pretended he was a meth chemist with cancer. The interview went so well they never shut the cameras off and Breaking Bad was what came out of it. ... 4560

@boxingstar77492 years ago Imagine the silence in the room if it didn't explode. 61

@snazy77772 years ago Every time there was a scene with Tuco i always felt uneasy.
The guy was so unpredictable and a proper loose cannon.
Brilliant acting 13848
@

@calamityganon81144 years ago Imagine if Tuco smashed it with his knife and tried to sniff it before Walt explained what it is 16930
@

@Daaninator2 years ago Walter died in the explosion
Rest in peace 719
@

@robcook47012 years ago As someone who had cancer, I can confirm that you become immune to explosions….loved the details in this show.
Edit: Greatly appreciate the 1k + likes….it warms my ego.. 5905
@

@FC-nr4ot4 years ago Walter white in season 5 wouldn’t even be a little bit scared of tuco 17001
@

@marcuscasagrande75962 years ago In case you were wondering what happened to Walter after the explosion: he survived thanks to a strong shield made of 100% protagonism. 39536
@

@RyzenThreadripper2 years ago FUN FACT: In the scene where Gus dies, Hector completely improvised the scene. Giancarlo thought he was coming in for a meeting with Hector, and both were blown up on set. Really added the needed realism to the show 775
@

@LionCub032 years ago I cried when Gustavo Fring said to Walter White: “It’s over Walt, I have the high ground” then Walter responded: “No, ‘cause I am the one who knocks”. It was the moment when Walter White became Breaking Bad. 368

@

@mrpanda78715 years ago Hank: What’s in the bag? Bricks?
Walt: Half a million in cash
Hank: haha good one buddy 22954
@

@TizzyRSA2 years ago The scene where Walt tells Hank "it was me Hank, I was breaking bad all along" still leaves me shook to this day 31
@

@oliverimhoof2 years ago Wow. From Malcolm's dad, the most adorably dedicated family man imaginable, to Walter White, one of the most dangerous drug lords to ever be depicted on fictional television. Brian Cranston really has terrific range as an actor to pull off two vastly different roles that lasted so long and maintain character consistency. ... 472
@

@SeanFerree5 years ago This makes me want to binge watch the whole series again 12248
@

@ziskador9 years ago It would have been very awkward if it didn't explode haha 25871
@

@EricWebSurfer2 years ago Good scene. Tuco is one of my favorite characters of all time. He was terrifying but also hilarious. 49
@

@dj-flights73762 years ago This episode was a key turning point and sums up the entire series. Walt shaves his head and becomes Heisenberg, Jesse ends up hurt after being pushed to make more money, and Walt uses his knowledge to blow up bad guys and take what is his. A great episode that symbolizes the entire series. ... 201
@

@robertsides36265 years ago "This, is not meth."
throws crystal
...
"Ah shit, I brought the wrong bag. That was meth." 10895
@

@Zack298104 years ago Tuco: So you must be Daddy.
Walt: You’re goddamn right. 2130
@

@paulbernard27852 years ago always nice to be reminded how great this show was 19
@

@TheTRAINOR112 years ago This was the scene that hooked me. I binge watched the series. One of my all-time favorites 5
@

@jackjames33155 years ago The guy who played tuco is probably one of the most underrated and unacknowledged actor
Edit: I wish the actor, Raymond Cruz, sees the number of likes on this comment. He deserves it. 24922
@

@attentionlabel6 years ago This isn't meth.
It's a mineral. 3254
@

@thememtozcorporation2 years ago The way this scene is choreographed is amazing. From the very beginning when Heisenburg refuses to sit, it shows that he had the most power from the beginning of the scene. And then when he blows up his office it becomes fully apparent that this isn't the naive old man that Tuco had thought he was. ... 48
@

@dgarcia16882 years ago The explosion magically did damage to everything in the building, but did not cause the bag of explosives to explode. Amazing 13
@

@user-hi3ke6qh7q5 years ago I guess Walt didn't get hurt by the explosion because he was wearing plot armor. 8294
@

@AstronomicalAviation4 years ago The most badass scene was right after, when Tuco goes "are you insane?" And he says "Wanna find out?" Ready to throw down the entire bag. 1253
@

@lucasargandona46582 years ago Damn even after 8 years this show still look good af. Would be cool if I rewatch it 7
@

@Incercsaajut2 years ago Its a major turning point for Walt on the path to becoming Heisenberg. He actually scares a psycopath, legend. 45
@

@brentaiken55084 years ago Walt: “This is not meth.”
Jesse: “It’s a rock.”
Hank: Jesus Christ Jesse. IT’S A MINERAL! 4790
@

@VitruvianVictor4 years ago tuco is so well written and acted. even though he was the main villain for a couple episodes, he’s still one of the best antagonist in the show (right behind Gus IMO) 2973
@

@rondohatton46082 years ago I think Walter's transformation has a spectrum of motivational drivers behind it, a bit like a Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs progression. He needs the money to ensure his family can survive and flourish, and he realizes a pure form of Meth is an easy way to ensure his family is supported after he is gone. He has been humiliated by the girl he first loved leaving with his business partner, and he chose to leave a now thriving empire rather than see that relationship grow before his eyes. He has lost everything because he chose to stick to noble principles that brought him nothing. His rise up the drug empire ladder has brought him the wealth, power and respect that he has never had before, and he becomes drunk on the power it provides.
One of his main drivers is also being seen as the genius who produced a pure form of Meth that is respected everywhere. He wants to keep that mantle because it means a lot to him to be recognized for the brains that manipulated the chemistry that produced a drug-fueled high that captivated all who touch it. So there is a lot going on there.
He also began by thinking the good outcome outweighed the evil that he was doing, but when the buzz hit his reptilian brain he began seeking that high as an end to itself. But in the end he realized where that self-centered quest had brought him and he sought to set things right, to restore the balance, and to achieve his original aim of supporting his family when he was gone.
His final slight nod to Jesse was a thank you and a respectful recognition of a job well done, and his final smile as he lay dying was a realization that he enjoyed what he did, and he achieved his original aims in a round about way. Or perhaps he survived... hmmmm sequel with Walter becoming a drug king-pin in jail and busting out and living a cartel-type life of luxury in Columbia as he supplies Blue Meth all over the world and we all become his slaves. All hail Walter Almighty!!!
This show has so many fabulous scenes, but the most interesting scene to me was the scenario in the junkyard where the owner (Old Joe?) repeatedly stymies Hank with a series of references to Constitutional Rights that ultimately prevents him from opening the RV without a Warrant. ... 11

@solopinobridges95762 years ago YouTube recommendation comes in clutch sometimes.
This was one of my favorite scene from BREAKING BAD

@

@jrreedve28254 years ago God we are so lucky he didn’t crush it to snort it.
EDIT: THE FUCK IS HAPPENING IN MY COMMENT SECTION?! 3350
@

@IsaacCollector2 years ago Clearly, Walter used his expert knowledge in chemistry to coat himself in both anti-explosion gel and anti-debris powder to be entirely unharmed in this scene
Probably also had a coating of anti-bullet spray on for good measure ... 136

@jerrynadler28832 years ago YYAAAAYY!!! I think it's been long enough now to re-watch because I dont remember this AT ALL. 1

@

@thewitchfindergeneral40153 years ago Fun fact: Raymond Cruz (Tuco) putting out the cigarette on his tongue was unscripted and pure improvisation 9259

@

@angrywizard31992 years ago I like how they could've just made him walk to the back of the room to be out of the explosion radius and reduced its size but he just tanks it 6
@

@nachc64592 years ago I miss this show. Good time in my life 3
@

@rudranshsharma70645 years ago - This is not meth.

@

@dddebolt8 years ago Dude I have to dislike this video because you didn't include the part with him walking back to his car, by far the best part of this entire scene. 7276
@

@kennethmardis21322 years ago Overall one of the best series ever made. 7
@

@4dhumaninstrumentality7892 years ago This Guy: “The old cigarette on the tongue trick. Get’s em every time.”
Heisenberg: “Your evil is nothing compared to mine.” 9
@

@markod27814 years ago Tuco could have easily ended like Gustavo, right here. 852

@StepbroNate2 years ago Love the AMC in the bottom right corner. Was in high school when this aired
@

@emanuel66932 years ago Lol the title is the defo something I’d expect when this episode just released 2
@

@seany23455 years ago Why did you cut the video off there?!?! There was still more badassery to be seen! What a gyp 2658
@

@victorconway4444 years ago Shame they cut out the rest of it.
Tuco: "ARE YOU FUCKING NUTS!?"
Walt: "You wanna find out?" holding entire bag of fulminated mercury
Tuco: o_o 1145

@MIDNIGHTMOONSH1NE3 years ago This scene makes me laugh so hard. The whole floor level blows up and Walt walks out like nothing happened. 2078

@

@TheRyansDen2 years ago I love the Howard Dean scream during the middle of the explosion 🤣🤣🤣 3
@

@kylehoward86032 years ago I like how people call Walt an antihero because it feels like he has superpowers. He may look weak but he’s highly intelligent, planning ahead of the situation to make it turn in his favour. That and experimenting with explosives and poisons to enforce the outcome when just talking doesn’t work. ... 5

@

@f3nixfire2 years ago I worked on the set of breaking bad for the first two seasons. I've met both Raymond Cruz and Bryan Cranston. Bryan even let me hold his Emmy for best actor for a picture. Both of these guys were great and are incredible actors. I had an amazing time working on this show. Something I will cherish for the rest of my life! ... 3201
