Breaking Bad/Funny


  • Walt and Jesse stealing chemicals, carrying a 90 gallon drum between them wearing bobble-headed ski masks while alarms are sounding, the security guard they locked in a porta-john is beating on the door to get out and the little red light on the guard's golf cart is still flashing.
    • Hank later sees a video tape of this incident and spends a good deal of time snarking about how stupid they are.
  • The montage of Walt attempting to roll a joint in the first season certainly qualifies.
  • Aaron Paul's perfect delivery of the line: "A robot?"
  • Jesse and co.'s selling meth at a support group through Bad Bad Acting.
  • Jesse complains, "What's the good of being an outlaw if you've got responsibilities?" Which prompts Badger to point out "Darth Vader had responsibilities... Just saying. Devil's advocate."
  • Jesse underestimating how important the plastic bin part was in dissolving a body with acid.
  • Skylar offers to pay Hank's medical bills, and starts spinning a story to Marie about Walt winning a bunch of money gambling. Walt leans in closer at the exact same time Marie does, just as desperate as her to hear where the story's going.
    • She also uses this as an opportunity to paint Walt in the baddest light possible (saying how he got so "obsessed" with it & at one stage used their pension fund), knowing he can't correct or contradict her.
  • The guy's head getting crushed by an ATM. Bloody Hilarious.
  • The school holds a meeting so everyone can discuss their feelings regarding the plane crash. Starts with the skeevy kid from the last season trying to get an automatic A for the year, moves on with the counselor telling a girl who asked why God would allow this kind of tragedy to "keep it secular," and finally ends with Walter giving a pathetic and unconsciously self-justifying monologue to the entire school in an effort to convince himself he's not at fault. This must be one of the most uncomfortably hilarious scenes ever written.
  • Jesse falling through the roof of a porta-john (It Makes Sense in Context) and coming out dripping in toilet water.
  • After Hank continues his BSOD in the hospital after getting shot, Marie bets that if she could give him an erection, he would finally see that he is fit to leave the hospital and go home. Marie wins, cueing a Gilligan Cut of Marie wheeling a silent Hank out of the hospital.
  • Badger pretty much has one in every scene he's in.

Helicopter, bitch!

  • Saul's reasoning of how he convinced a woman he was Kevin Costner: "And it worked, because *I* believed it!"
  • Skylar weaving a tapestry of BS to get a locksmith to let her into Walt's apartment, eventually even faking a panic attack.
  • Jesse's exasperated "not again" face as he pulls out some acid to destroy Victor's body, and Mike's amusement at their attempts to get it into the container.
    • He also speaks his first words in the episode - "trust us" when Mike asks if it will work. And Jesse, of all people, KNOWS it will work.
  • The DEA are trying to question Tio, asking him if Jesse was at Tuco's house the day all hell broke loose. They know Tio can understand them, and they know he can ring his bell to answer questions. However, Tio just does not want to cooperate...so instead of answering, he leans forward and takes the loudest, wettest shit EVER.
    • Also earlier in that scene, Jesse says that Tio doesn't even know on which planet he is. Gomie's response is to ask him is he on Mars or Saturn. He "says" no.
  • The Cold Open for "Caballo Sin Nombre:" Walt gets pulled over for driving with a cracked windshield. He tries to get out of a ticket by talking about the Wayfarer collision and how it damaged his property. Walt grows increasingly frustrated as the police officer asks him to calm down and sit in his car. Instead, Walt gets out and confronts the officer, claiming that "hellfire rained down on my house!" He gets in the officer's face, shouting... cut to a heavily pepper-sprayed Walt being placed in the officer's car.
  • Walt banging his head on the counter as he races to stop Skyler from talking about their car wash plan on his answering machine. Fridge Brilliance: There was really no reason to worry, as the whole point of buying the car wash is so their income appears legitimate, and recorded discussions of it beforehand would actually help as long as the money laundering itself isn't mentioned.
  • Gale's music video. Also a bit of a Tear Jerker, since its shown after his death.
    • Plus, his notes include not only meth formulas, but vegan smore recipes, lists of the best recumbant bikes, indoor composting tips, and a Far Side cartoon.
  • Walt and Skyler rehearsing the gambling story. Doubles as a Tear Jerker at times, since it shows how much in denial Walt is about his life of crime and how much of a divide there is between them at this point.
  • The beginning of "Shotgun" becomes this after a while. The episode begins with a Crowning Moment of Awesome for Walt, with him driving like a madman to save Jesse, who he presumes is en route to his own execution. Then, he walks into a Los Pollos Hermanos joint and demands from the manager to see Gustavo Fring, immediately. After a while, it turns out his badassitude was barely acknowledged by anyone in the fast-food and then Mike and Jesse phone him, asking an out-of-his-mind Walter what the hell he's doing in the most bored way possible.
  • The montage of Jesse bored out of his mind while making pickups with Mike.
  • Skylar breaking a coat hanger rod attempting to hide Walt's drug money in vacuum-sealed laundry bags, followed by her letting out a quiet "Walt!"
  • Skylar's Obfuscating Stupidity to keep Ted out of prison, acting like a dumb blonde who was only in charge of finances because she slept with Ted.
  • Repeat this key phrase: That's not my tiger
  • Ted trying to escape Saul's A Team, slipping on the carpet and sliding head first into a counter, killing him.
  • Tyrus shipping Walt into the meth lab in dirty laundry. Walt asks if it had to be dirty. Tyrus responds with a quick, quiet "no".
  • Tio struggling to get his nurse to understand that he wants to talk to the DEA, then using his laborious communication method to simply deliver crude insults.
  • Walt's magnetized bomb sticking to an elevator door, followed by "Did you just bring a bomb into a hospital?"
  • Walt doesn't get it in his head that $20,000 (later $25,000) to fix a broken glass door is a demand for a bribe.
    • He eventually gets it. That's when she ups it to 25
      • Upon this realization, Walt gets up close to the secretary's face - seemingly about to launch a verbal attack - only to mutter "I'll be right back" and hurriedly stumble through the broken door.
  • Walter: Jesse, look at me, you are a blowfish.
  • Jesse killing time in the lab.
  • Walt telling Gale he doesn't want to work with him anymore. The scene feels more like an awkward breakup than the end of a partnership.

Walt: It's as if I'm classical, and you are more... jazz.

    • From the same scene: Gale trying to remain calm and dignified while Jesse shouts and gushes about the superlab in the background.
  • Badger and Skinny Pete's conversation about zombie games.
