Jonathan Banks' first words to his dad: "You're on thin ice, you little shithead"

[CGcygg]

It’s so funny. Bob has as much personality as he does in the show, and jon is almost as serious he is in the show.

[pcbangbros]

Conan is so lucky to be on Jonathan Banks' show.

[quesadeeowl]

So great to see Finger smile like this after what he's been through

[supersaiyanzero]

When Mike turned 18 he told his dad "you're the man of the house now"

Cranston feeling that silence and immediately having the perfect wisecrack is what comedic timing looks like.

[burrito]

bryan cranston was waiting to say the “whom didn’t” line lmfao

[javigd]

I love that they are all almost like their characters except for Bryan Cranston who has always done comedic roles and it's more that type of guy.

[jayess]

Must be so crazy for Conan and Bob - working together all those years ago writing silly sketches, now with Bob on the couch.

[dmblum]

It makes total sense that Mike should use correct grammar; he's the consumate professional. He dots the I's and crosses the T's. He has meticulous attention to detail. The actor was right in this case; sometimes the writer gets it wrong.

[patricksullivan]

After a long career in acting, it is so heartwarming that Johnathan Banks was able to play one of the greatest characters, on two of the greatest series ever.

[JonathanMandrake]

It makes me so happy to see all four actors being happy, because most of the time we see them they play characters full of sadness, grief and hate

[UncleBuZ]

Jonathan Banks didn't get punched in the face... he punched the guys fist with his face.

[theeHeisenberg]

Jonathan Banks is right. His character is better when presented as educated, in control, self aware. A gentlemen who believes in doing things right, even if he works for bad men. It's more menacing to be a self composed man of utility than a brash man with little self control.

9 years later and the show is still just as popular, the best of all time, and the prequel with so much of the same cast is phenomenal with the highest ratings in the history of cable tv shows. Incredible midseason finale for Better Call Saul- 6 episodes left and still a shot at 2 more Emmys for Best Drama

[d__osaka]

1:48 can u imagine Jesse actually doing this to Mike on the show?

[adityajoshiofficial]

That Bryan Cranston punch was just so so so perfect!!! 😂

[stellardafellar]

What I love most about both of these guys; they not only fit their characters so well, they give off a natural vibe to where it's as if they were born to play Mike & Saul.

[willersontntboom]

At 3:00 you can see Bryan first attempt of making the joke, but realizing that t wasn't the right time yet. Eventually the opportunity appears and BOOM golden punchline. The quick thinking of this man and his ability to do comedy, I swear

[kinglosgaming]

I remember being a kid and absolutely hating this show I thought the hype was totally stupid but then I grew up and gave it a chance and god almighty was that the best decision ever.
