One of the best scenes in the whole show. Definitely Bunk’s greatest scene.

[daauthor]

One of the most powerful scenes that I've ever seen on television. That was the first time Omar didn't have a witty comeback. He knew Bunk was right.

[sassytabasco]

1:53 wow, that little bit there where he almost lost his temper. That anger felt so real. Fantastic acting.

Someone said it in another video but,

Bunk’s words were so hard and true to swallow Omar had to spit them out and tear up. Brutal.

[redzO]

I’ve rewatched this show about 5 times over the past 12 years and every time, it’s like watching something different. It truly is the greatest TV show of all time.

[brjdencrewe]

"Didn't realize at the time what they were doing for me." POWERFUL!

[grahamhighmore]

“Wasn’t about guns… so much as knowing what to do with your hands”

The writing was perfect

[SiliconValleyHighValue]

When he says “now all we got is bodies!”..that line always gets me! The show depicts the cops as being detached from the horrors of what they are seeing. This one line shows that beneath all the drinking and trash talk..Bunk felt outage about what was happening in the streets

[ryano]

As bunk keeps talking, Omar’s guard keeps on going lower and lower. You can see his emotions on his face clear as day in this scene the more it goes on

[tomo]

"I'm so sick ____ on how far we done fell"

Why do I STILL remember that line as clear as if I heard it for the very first time yesterday

This scene showcases the moral ambiguity that is central to the show. Omar, often seen as an anti-hero for robbing drug dealers and adhering to a strict code, is confronted by Bunk about the wider, negative impact of his actions on the community, including children who idolize him. This exchange challenges viewers' perceptions of Omar, revealing a more complex and darker side to his character. It serves as a reminder that the series does not offer clear-cut heroes and villains but instead invites a more nuanced understanding of morality within a deeply flawed system.

R.I.P to Michael K. Williams. His iconic role as Omar helped make The Wire an incredible show to watch. He put his absolute heart ❤️ and soul into any role that he played. He is seriously missed and he’ll never be forgotten.

[JoshuaThompson-zn]

I love the Bunk Omar relationship. They truly respect one another, and no one out classes Omar in any other scene. But Bunk just owns him here. He is more upset than normal, and Omar knows he's right.

[juansantx]

Omar Little, that phenomenal character, one of the best in the history of television series, Michael K. Williams did an exceptional job

[blueodum]

"Go home schoolboy, you don't belong here..." Perfect, just perfect.

[archangelum]

Omar Little, played by the late Michael Kenneth Williams RIP, one of the greatest TV anti-heroes of all time. “You come at the king, you best not miss.”

[NSCGameboy]

Being born and raised in Baltimore, I love this show so much. What a great story "all the pieces matter"

[slydEvil]

Omar this whole series had a smart answer for everyone. Until someone from his own neighborhood on the other side of the law set him straight

[LanceRomanceFE]

The Wire should be mandatory watching for every social studies class in every school.

I'm so happy Wendell Pierce continues to get work on Jack Ryan and was nominated for his work in theatre for Death of a Salesman as Willy Loman on Broadway. He has one of the most iconic voices on this show and is the center of morality for a lot of the nonsense McNulty garnered up. RIP Michael K. Williams as well :(.
