I’ve run out of things I want to watch so I’ve gone back to season 1 and will watch it all again. I’ve only see the first 3 so just a couple to start.
When Jimmy finds the family that “kidnapped themselves” (wonder if they got that from Lewbowski?) he goes up to the tent and throws back the flap and says “Here’s Johnny!” and scares the hell out of them. I think I missed that the first time.
When Jimmy gets sued by Hamlin for copyright infringement, he appears before the judge with Hamlin wearing the exact same suit, arguing that he is not copying Hamlin.
The entire Skateboard Bros’ storyline is pretty much perfect, but the point at which Jimmy realises he’s getting set up is the cherry on top
“Does this car scream ‘payday’ to you? The only way that could be worth five hundred dollars is if there was a three hundred dollar hooker sitting in the passenger seat!”
Also, props to Tuco earnestly convincing his Abuelita not to come downstairs to clean up the ‘salsa’ while he’s busy trying to decide whether he needs to murder anyone today

Any of the montages of scenes where he’s selling cheapie cell phones to the low-lifes of Albuquerque. With his number already put in, ‘in case you get into a brou-ha-ha, a misunderstanding.’ With a 50% off for first non-violent offense. We laughed and laughed…there were two of those scenes, in one episode he was selling them out of the trunk of his car and got ripped off. The second, he was selling out of a tent!
From Episode 1.10, Marco: “I did not know that his children were in the back seat. There was a level of tint on the windows that I’ll maintain to this day was not legal in an Illinois-licensed vehicle. But somehow that’s on me, I guess. Who leaves two Cub Scouts in a double-parked car with the engine running?”
In the first season when Jimmy finds himself desperately pleading with Tuco to break the skateboarders’ legs. It’s a courtroom scene, set in a desert with thugs, and “justice” will be carried out instantaneously.
Jimmy pleads their case, sees he’s going to have to give Tuco something, and ends up agreeing (with a handshake) that proper justice would be for him to break their legs. One leg each. He then has to stand there and listen to their screams.
When Mike gets hired for protection and shows up at the parking garage and one guy asks him what he is carrying and he says, “A Pimento sandwich.” Later he takes the guy’s guns away and says to the big guy, “So many guns to choose from. Would you like a gun” and the guy takes off running.
Trivia: The guy’s name in the screenplay is Sobchak (although he’s not called that on the show), a reference to Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski. He shows up in Season 5 again as a Mr. X, who Saul hires to search Kevin’s home, and who inadvertently takes a picture of the photo that Saul later uses against Kevin. The actor also plays Simon, one of Negan’s henchmen in The Walking Dead, and Rebus in Westworld.
The big guy, Clarence (Man Mountain), is also later hired by Saul along with Huell to beat up some punks in Pinata. And he shows up as a bouncer/pimp in El Camino.
The BCS universe seems to operate under the Law of the Conservation of Goons.
Filming an ad in front of a B-29.
They have an old man pretending he’s a barely aware invalid, but the moment their chaperone leaves the guy jumps up from the wheelchair and bounds jauntily over to the plane.
When Jimmy and Chuck meet with the attorneys about the Sandpiper case, Jimmy shows them a damning receipt. They don’t understand, and I like how he condescendingly explains: “Nebraska, although they both begin with the letter N, actually turns out to be a different state than New Mexico.”
I love Mike’s reaction at the beginning of the following season when the guy he’s protecting shows up at the parking garage in a completely ridiculous customized Hummer. “This business requires restraint. That is the opposite of restraint.”
