What's Max? Sounds pretty stupid and embarrassing.
One of the best scenes in the whole show. Definitely Bunk’s greatest scene.
Bunk is the best
His other best scene is his drunken reflection on life after Cole's death. "You think about taxes, mortgages, and for what?! Like that!!?"
One of the best scenes in TV history, period.
True but let’s not pretend bunk and Baltimore police were saviours to that community.
They’re weren’t - we saw it over and over again with the “war of drugs” ravaging Bmore. There weren’t too many, if any, police in the wire that genuinely wanted to heal the community and not just take down the never ending cycle of “king pins”
Truly. Bunk doesn't lose his cool often. But when he does, it hits deep. Even Omar, with his code, knows that.
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.
Yerp
@@bryanedwards187Michael K Williams R.I.P. The Wire is the greatest show ever made along with Boardwalk Empire (also starring Michael K Williams as Chalky White).
Didn't even wipe his mouth off
Bunk talks as if it’s only the failures of individuals and not systems that produce outcomes. Law enforcement are the most coercive part of that system.
@@randbarrett8706 nah. it's not about blame, it's about acknowledging the lack of humanity that plagues the city, which based on omar's character arc bunk shouldn't have had to remind him
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.
Well he improvised that, the whole walk away section was ad libbed
I thought that was saliva from the spit hanging off his chin
@@thereal415er He teared up as well!
@@brownsey1 what a phenomenal actor
This took the TRUTH hurts to another level
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
"Didn't realize at the time what they were doing for me." POWERFUL!
Keeping him out of crime.
Plenty ogs in the streets did thst to younges. Who didn't belong now these fools recruit u
"Go home schoolboy, you don't belong here..." Perfect, just perfect.
“Wasn’t about guns… so much as knowing what to do with your hands”
The writing was perfect
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
Yea, like he’s starting to understand and almost become sad
It’s just crazy how you feel Omar getting smaller and smaller while Bunk is talking. Incredible scene and incredible acting
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.
i like watching it cuz its liek watchign a safari of animals in their habitat
Exactly. It's like some national geographic documentary, except on those the collective IQ of the animals is higher.
Word
You should be ashamed of yourself for continuing to perpetuate this stereotype and also praise it
@@juanshaftpatel7488😂 Tell me you're white without telling me you're white
1:53 wow, that little bit there where he almost lost his temper. That anger felt so real. Fantastic acting.
I always thought that was a little funny bit of improv that he was doing.
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.
Seeing people speak about MKW in past tense still breaks my heart
Omar Little, that phenomenal character, one of the best in the history of television series, Michael K. Williams did an exceptional job
The Wire had some of the best acting I’ve ever seen.
Every moment and sene was real.
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 :(.
I enjoyed Piecre’s performance as Loman in London’s Young Vic five years ago (May 31st 2019)
He is powerful on the stage
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.”
And got taken out by a jit
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.
Being born and raised in Baltimore, I love this show so much. What a great story "all the pieces matter"
The way its portrayed in this show is intense man. How was it for you?
Wendell Pierce just crushed it the whole series. And he was one of the few actors worth watching in the latest version of Jack Ryan.
I love how Bunk loses his composure briefly when Omar initially answers him with some witty comeback (about cost of doing business and Bunk finding that his eyeball witness had a sudden “change of heart”) to tell him, “man, you don’t even KNOW what TF I’m talking about here, do you?”
It showed Omars lack of trust and have a reason behind it...... Its like you people only take HALF HIS SENTENCE..... Take FULLY what he said.....' The WAY Y'ALL SEE IT' .....he's saying the cops do this all the time and don't see these victims as people..... He didn't say she wasn't a victim.....he saying why now? Why this one? When you are ALWAYS sitting on your hands.....
"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 show was amazing. At one point Prop Joe mentions he went to school with Commissioner Burrell, at Dunbar. They don't say it, but it was an all black school during segregation that performed better than neighboring white schools, and produced all sorts of successful middle class black professionals. It's so sad how far things have fallen, and they all see it.
Yet you misquote it
you forgot some words though
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.
They had to make this scene because people were starting to idolize Omar.
Thanks Wordsmith. Beautifully written
Unfortunately the people who need to learn those lessons thought his spit at the end was really cool
@@wilcee238 that is silly. They 1000% didnt write this scene to deter people the AUDIENCE from idolizing Omar. This wasn't a daytime monster of the week network sitcom. The person above you explained it, thoughtfully and eloquently. Why not just leave it at that.
Masterfully written
Two masters at work. Legendary characters in one of the finest dramas of all time. World class.
In a show rammed packed with outrageously good scenes, this one for me is probably the best of them all. There is so much going on here, it’s hard to know where to start. The scene is basically a social commentary/synapses of the entire latter half of 20th century inner city American life. All the failings, poverty, inequalities, racial divides and injustices of American society are seen here. This scene is more than just part of the story, it is a message, and everyone, right down from the producers of the show, the writers, the directors and most of all the actors, know this. Bunks delivery of that message is flawless. The self disgust on Omar’s face at the end; from start to finish the scene is truly brilliant.
That spit at the end by Omar was all he could do; he had NO words to respond to that!
He had to spit out the truth.
Spit out what you can't swallow.
@@90boyle I swallow
@@RZPPAA pause
Even the hardest of men crumble when he knows his actions effect children
And people think Breaking Bad is peak television. The Wire is the goat.
There’s so many shows I need to watch but I feel the urge to watch this for the 1000th time.
Hahaha the same old Wire effect! 😂🎉
🐐
Me too
I remember when I was in college and wanted some money. Few days later I ran into someone I grew up with and he asked me if I still talked to some rich kid from this other neighborhood who do drugs. He said I could middle man and keep a percentage. I said, yeah I still know them but I haven’t talked to them that much since I started college. He looked at me and said never mind, you’re in college so you do college and leave the streets alone.” I graduated, I have my masters, and a great job making great money. This happened 15 years ago and I think about it all the time. So many people in the streets know crime isn’t the answer. This guy was super smart but had a sick mom so he dropped out of high school and had to provide for his mom and siblings. He was a victim of circumstance.
Respect for that dude for having solidarity, and you for resisting temptation.
Every single element of this scene is perfect. The writing, the framing and, without question, the performances.
Truly the greatest tv show of all time. And, sadly, will never not be relevant.
I agree with every point you made lass
Top 4 but not the greatest
This was an outstanding scene, with two heavy hitters playing it like it came natural to them. It did come natural, they felt what they were saying.
I feel like this scene was put in to knock Omar down a peg. He was becoming another violent figure who became a folk hero and the show decided to remind us that even Omar’s “code” is not good for society
Well, “codes” are ambiguous and malleable to the social environments that bred them.
I think, more importantly, this scene was just to show Omar that his ACTIONS DO NOT OCCUR IN A “VACUUM.”
They have unforeseen and often unintended “ripples” that reverberate out to have a larger effect on the greater social fabric of the community in which he operates in.
It was, Omar was getting super popular with the show's fan-base especially the younger audience (teenagers and young adults) and the director David Simon wasn't liking it.
For the better honestly, as 'honourable' anti-heroes be it Omar Little in The Wire or Mike Ehrmantraut in Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul are not good people, they're still violent criminals at the end of the day who one way or another are enabling the misery of crime and the drug trade on the community.
Best scene from the best show ever. Omar’s reaction when Bunk calls him a predatory mfer is incredible
Bunk reminded Omar about the true code. That's why Omar got Dozerman's gun back.
I love this scene!!! For everyone struggling I'm praying you get through it!!! This man was an amazing person and actor and we lost him to an addiction and I'm sick of loosing people
One of the best scenes in television history
Two magnificent actors at the top of their game. Supposedly David Simon didn't share upcoming scenes with the actors. That kept it so fresh, and it still is.
As much as Bunk disagreed with Omar's methods, deep down, he knew Omar was the most righteous individual on those streets. That is why he had an open line of communication with him. That respect is what made him go to bat for Omar on the bogus murder change.
As much as we and Omar like to believe that, he is still part of the problem in the bigger picture. Bunk was right here- Omar can be as righteous as he wants, but he still contributes to the violence and the misery at the end of the day. The Game is poison, whichever way you play it.
That's why Bunk bailed him; he knew omar didn't kill no citizen.
One of the finest scenes in the history of television. Just two fine actors, superb dialogue and a bench.
I’m shook to this day. There is no show that will ever come close to this greatness. Thank you for this David, Ed, MKW, Wendell and the rest of the cast who brought this to life.
Deadwood not only comes close, but completely surpasses it.
Breaking bad and sopranos hands down better. 😊
@@seth5143 not even top ten lmao
@@karimsunderji9180 Sopranos #2 and Breaking Bad MAYBE #3 ya classless muppet 💀
and that's why The Wire is the last real "urban" show. I Know Power and Snowfall are popular but The Wire authenticity can't be matched. The only person on the show that people really knew was Wood Harris. Method Man wasn't fully an actor like he is now despite being on the show.
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
Wendell Pierce’s finest moment on The Wire.
In my opinion this is the most powerful scene in the wire
Easily
It is a social commentary as much as a brilliantly acted scene. This is where The Wire touches greatness, again.
The scene where Major Colvin explains to Carver how the war on drugs ruined policing, and the scene where Cutty tells Avon the game isn't in him anymore
This whole thing is Shakespearean. Wendell Pearce is so extra and it works incredibly well.
Incredible scene. One of the very best in a series full of amazing scenes.
Where is it? I watched this episode but didn’t see the scene the episode was on,y 30 minutes and not the usual 55 minutes?
RIP to one of the finest actors of our time, Michael K Williams. This scene was incredible.
The wire is one of my favorite shows and this is one of my favorite scenes just incredible acting and dialogue RIP Michael .K. Williams
Bunk just described in a nutshell how bad the black community fell we are beyond divided and unorganized as a race.
This scene is a bit of a reminder that as charismatic and likable as Omar is, he’s also a murderous sociopath.
Bunk and Omar’s dynamic is amazing and underrated.
This show is just too god damn good. What a scene
Emmy worthy performances here
glad some official source is finally uploading clips of this classic
I have to say this is the best scene …Snoop buying a nail gun a close second
Snoop buying the nail gun? Best scene? Have to agree. That scene is the Cadillac of the series.
(I mean Lexus, but I don't know it.)
This Wire was great because it was not only entertaining, but it made you feel something. Almost every scene was powerful and had a purpose.
That spit hanging from omar’s mouth really tied the scene together
One of the best scenes in the whole show
This is it. This right here, the best scene in TV history
Great acting, characters, and writing… absolutely perfectly done!
This is by far my favorite show of all time. I rewatched it 6 times already and i come back to certain episode from time to time.
An acting masterclass.
The man literally couldn’t swallow those words. It tasted too bitter.
I don't know how many times I've watched this! It's a lot, but yet I still can't figure out which one to pull for. They are both some serious characters.
What I love about this scene is that they allow Bunk to walk away with moral superiority. They don't give Omar a line to counter or make it seem as if he can somehow justify what happens. That's the brilliance of the Wire. Bunk is right, Omar knows he's right and both keep going along their path. Respecting each other but not necessarily changing.
2 amazing actors and 2 phenomenal characters❤
Everything about this show was amazingly written!
Bunks greatest scene and one of omars without even saying much.
Fantastic acting on both sides. 1:52 Bunk looks like he's struggling to keep himself from beating the crap out of Omar
just absolute brilliance
As I'm re watching Jack Ryan, for some reason I thought about just " this scene"...it's dope how a GREAT actor like Wendell Pierce has multiple examples in his work. He rocked in Treme also.
Bunk: Sanctimonious diatribe about back in the day.
Slim Charles: Yeah, now well the thing about the old days, they the old days.
It’s my dream to work for HBO.. just masterpieces on masterpieces
Im amazed at how long that cigar stayed lit
spit on omars lip speaks to the authenticity of this entire show. props.
The scene is deep and while Omar didn't give up who killed Tasha, he did get Bird locked. So, was he really not helping the situation or was Omar playing chess and selectively choosing who was removed from the board and who was spared until the appointed time of his choosing and not Bunk's or the BPD?
You are missed Michael Kenneth Williams!! My favorite character Chalky White.
Wendell Pierce is insanely talented. He actually studied acting at Julliard and has done work mostly on stage prior to The Wire and it really shows in this scene.
Ugh such a good scene
God, I love this whole sequence…it’s such a great writing. Just the fact that making that scene “look cool”, Bunks talking about how that impact on kids, Omar basically puking after hearing that. It’s unbelievable.
A follow up mini series to this show would be dope.
It’s called We Own This City haha
@@TheWernherVBraun That's a separate universe, evidence by recurring actors from this show playing different roles. Way more honed in on police brutality than anything else too, so I wouldn't say that.
Nothing in the whole series got under Omar's skin as much as these words from Bunk - not even when the Barksdale crew killed Brandon so horrendously. I think it's because Bunk is holding up a mirror and confronting him with who he really is. The fact that he never put his gun on taxpayers was the way he moralised his way of life - but the foundations of it are shattered when he realises that his notoriety is having an effect on kids. Drawing them into the game when they might've grown up to be regular citizens.
The brilliantly tragic detail there is that one of the kids pretending to be Omar while playing with his friends after that shootout at the stash house was Kennard. The collateral damage of his 'victimless' crimes ended up being his downfall.
Great scene man. Wendell and Mike.
One of the very best scenes in the show
Bunk trying to get out the seat always get me 😂
The indecipherable snarl of words at the end ❄️
This a great scene but that lil jump he did at Omar had zero effect 😂
Such a great show
RIP Omar
I love this scene 💯
I forgot about this scene. I couldn't really understand what they were talking about when I first saw it but now I get it.
One time Omar is speechless!!
He was a awesome actor on TV and movies.
Watching this high on acid was even better, must have watched it 30 times in a row.
Gets me every time
Top 5 scenes in the entire show.
Omar knows he's right
Damn, it's like John Ford directed this mf. Every cut counts every look and angle are the opposite of random. This show was something.
This is art.
Bunk Moreland - The heart and soul of the series.
And to think that when this show first aired hardly anyone watched it
A more ignorant soul would have cut off Bunk during his rant but Omar cut from a different cloth.
