Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

Mike is extremely clever, the only reason he was killed was because walt did something so unbelievably stupid he couldn't have predicted it.
that is so true. His death was the proof that Walt was, as he said, a ticking bomb, waiting to explode
I heard a saying that went by something like this: "the best strategist in the world doesn't need to fear the second best strategist, he needs to fear the worst one, he is the most unpredictable as you never know what stupidity he's going to do"
@@b3ygghsas that's an interesting saying and it makes sense because I've heard in professional boxing 🥊 that in a street fight guys that aren't trained in fighting can sometimes be dangerous because they will throw wild unpredictable punches that even a seasoned fighter wouldn't expect
I thought he got killed because of the script
@@Oilatumify this is not anime shounen bro lol
One of Mike's favorite moves to outsmart his enemies is to teleport behind them. It rarely fails.
the old ehrmantraut special
To be fair he did that like once, the rest had an explanation
@@walls_of_skulls6061when did he do it?
@@PaladZerkGamerGF madrigal in breaking bad. He distracts chris with a pig and then just appears behind him
@@walls_of_skulls6061 he did it to the truck guy too
Tuco lecturing Mike on how he shouldn't be risking his life over $400 is probably the most wholesome thing I've seen Tuco do to a stranger.
And ironic too because that's what he was fighting for and got tied up with Mike like a fly in a spider's web. He was describing himself.
@@ythandlenametrue really is great writing
Classic robbery line, it's sensible though and it's a threat at the same time without actually threatening someone.
He risked his life because he being so tough against someone with ties to the cartel....but also tuco is being real clear he's not afraid to kill someone
Because he’s clearly someone who cares about others. 🤣
@@ythandlename yeah people don't stand up to criminals because they're listening to "corporate advice" they got at work. If its your money they're taking you're entitled to fight back as hard as you want, if you work a cash register at walmart, the life insurance payout is much bigger than whatever is in the till at any given time. I never took that as "we care about you more than the money" at jobs, it's very much as "if someone dies on the job we have to pay for it"
Mike always look like he doesn't have a plan prepared, but when he does, he wins
Mike’s at the stage in life where NOT trying hard is the way he wins.
The only thing mike should’ve done that he hadn’t done is kill Walter right away!
Except for when he had Walt at gunpoint in the laundromat and let him call Jesse and metup with Walt a final time.
He did not plan on getting shot by Walt.
@@daisaigaming6836 obviously, he did not expect it
Mike is like a retired GTA character who’s been through it all.

Mike is kind of what would have happened if those cops hadn't been dicks to Rambo in First Blood
Mike is that next GTA 6 character that will kill Trevor. Just like Trevor killed Johnny.
@@Secretcodrin Mike is that character that always curses the playable protagonist out and you have to kill him in the end...
Nacho's palpable anxiety because he knows Mike is a lot more dangerous than Tuco understands is hilarious
A police dog always will be more intimidating than a rabid dog, and you know why? because he knows the right time to strike and is patient enough to do so. Tuco is unpredictable but you always know that sooner or later he's going to freak out for some reason, Mike on the other hand you never know when he's going to pull a gun or punch you. tuco is just a chaos waiting to blow up sometime and mike is the very well hidden bear trap who won't trigger anything until he really feels like it, as such it will be fast and you probably won't have a reaction time to it whne happens.
I didn't see it that way. I saw it as him being nervous about pulling the whole thing on Tuco because of how unhinged Tuco is and what might happen if he gets found out or otherwise fails.
@@brunopereira-gx7dp I think your point still stands but I think I would be more intimidated by the dog with rabies.
@@Ishl a dog with rabies doesn't have to kill you, just bite you
Nah, tuco is chaos, and is more dangerous

Bravo Vince!

my favorite was the time when he drove off-road after being shot by Walter and quickly escaped, leaving behind the realistic Ehrmentraut robot that he had built in his garage earlier that day from spare car parts, fooling Walter into thinking he was dead while Mike went off to live a happy life with his family in Belize
God, if only.
Chicanery
learn somen' every day...
I always thought somehow he faked his death
@@dc7236 they dissolved his body in acid
That idea of using chewing gum to jam the ticket machine was genius. Also calls back to his days as a parking attendant
He probably had to deal with those kind of machines breaking all the time, he knew exactly what would put them out of commission
That's what we call gumming up the works XD
Lalo didn't have enough stickers
I didnt even think about the parking attendant thing. That's brilliant you noticed that
Actually, does the machine even take anything after it took the actual ticket?
The way he went from “aww come on guys” to “I’m not givng you a damn thing” is amazing acting. Reminded me of the scene in BB where Walt meets Gus and Gus switches from being the friendly chicken man to drug lord.
It's really not that amazing dude it's a simple line read, pretty much anyone could do it
If he wore a pair of glasses he wouldn’t have hit him
@@Trollololololful well prove it.
@@Trollololololful Obvious troll is obvious
The gus part is such a good reveal. Everything from his facial expressions to how he carries his body, by sitting up straighter, completely transforms. Even his voice sounds more menacing
"I don't think we're alike at all Mr.White"
I love the scene where Hank and gomie are trying to negotiate with Mike to confess. As a former cop Mike knows full well that all of that money is going to be seized and his grand daughter will receive nothing regardless of what he tells them
He takes it with the typical stoicism but that is his entire life ruined right there. Walt had already killed him.
Mike suggesting that he and Tuco exchange insurance information is one of the best scenes of the show.
I love the part where Tuco says, "I don't really want to bother with insurance, and actually you're right, it's really not that big of a deal, don't worry about it, just be more careful from now on"
@@indalcecio remember that scene in BB ep1s1 when Hank goes "Sorry Walt, a drug raid is too dangerous for civillians, I can't allow you to go." And then the show ends? Truly secured it as the greatest show of all time.
@@tescomealdeal9901 of course, that's the episode Breaking Bad won a Tony Award for, how could I forget
@@indalcecio Can't forget the Ted Award! Such a brilliant ending deserved such a brilliant prize.
@@averageillegalmemesdealer didnt bryan cranston get a oscar for that aswell
I love how Mike always has that bored, half asleep look even in intense situations. He be like "oh, THIS again."
The only time I saw him look panicked was when Gus sliced that guy's throat open after Walter had Jesse kill Gail.
@@bonniehowell9206 or when Walt revealed Gales address
Yeah he isn’t the best actor
@@marcusrasborg6874my man definitely didn't watch bcs
@@marcusrasborg6874 I think it's less he isn't the best actor and more the amazing writing and direction. Mike's whole character is he plans basically everything and can predict almost everything. If you know something is gonna happen, then when it happens you won't be surprised at all. This also shows that Mike is cool-headed in pressure situations which is why he is usually everyone's fixer. Look at Jesse's reaction to Jane's death and Mike's reaction (obviously not perfect since Jesse cared about Jane while Mike didn't but still an example). The only times when Mike does freak out is when even he couldn't predict what would happen, like when Walt reveals Gale's address or when Gus slices open that guy's throat, or when Walt escapes and hides the Methadone.
Mike pretending to be a helpless senior citizen is the funniest thing ever
i grew up with a guy like mike. he was a retired marine. worked on my dads trucks. he was 5’7” 180, hands down the strongest most violent man ive ever met. he was a sweet heart if you gave him respect, god help you if you angered him

It's your lucky day cause I know of two such shows
"Aw C'mon Guys" gets me everytime
"I just cashed my social security check, it's all I have for the entire month!"- probably why he's working alongside Fring to mess with the Salamanca cartel
Mike is good at playing the "pathetic old man" routine pretty well.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He can be the new equalizer
Mike did not outsmart Hank and Gomez in S5E2. He actually lost. They know about the account for his granddaughter. This forced him to have to keep working with Heisenberg.
They still didn't get anything from him which was their goal, so he actually won this situation
There was no proof against Mike at that time.
Gus for all we know set that up out of friendship towards Mike. I know that’s not the truth but the police didn’t have anything on him at that point
But if you realize still had money coming in he was more just angry at the DEA. But he wasn’t losing at all. He stayed a free man until his death while doing the most vile things known to man
@@basher5107 they found his granddaughters accpunt gus made and confiscated the money? Did u actually watch the episode
@@hindenburg1596 He certainly didn't 'outsmart' them. He just accepted a loss without letting it make him reveal anything. That's not winning. It's just cutting your losses.

Beware of a pop pop
Totally 🤣
What 🤣🤣
ong
Uh, sir, please don't talk like that🤓
I feel an important thing not shown in these clips is that while Mike outsmarting his opponents is the greatest, the preparation before all these happen is even better : him observing Hector's business to rob his truck, the carbon paper under his doorstep to see if anyone broke into his house...
"Lesson is, if you're gonna be a criminal do your homework."
Don't forget the part where he throws the shoes full of drugs on the power line and then later shoots it when the truck passes by
@@canObeans4we and the part where he gets shot by an ego driven chemistry teacher
@@leavethisaccaloneplzlol lol his one big mistake.. arguably to emphasize how volatile Walter was that someone so cautious could get outplayed
@@canObeans4we not only that, but he shoots several rounds into the air so the drivers think it's hunters in the distance and don't respond to the shot that ends up covering their truck with cocaine.
@@leavethisaccaloneplzlol Ah yes can't forget about that part
The thing that makes Mike so unique is that he manages to stay calm despite whatever situation he’s in. I feel like that what helps him stay alive…At least in these scenes that is.
Except briefly when Gus slit victors throat
Makes him a great foil for Walt in BB and a great friend to Saul in BCS.
And then the one scene where he finally does get angry is where he dies
@@benballard5930 I don’t blame him for losing it at Walt tbh
Yes because he doesn’t care if he lives or dies, as long as his granddaughter is safe. He’s an empty shell of a man and there’s nothing envious about him except for his cleverness
I never realized Mike literally rolled his eyes upon realizing his ear got grazed. Probably realized that’s one more question Stacey’s gonna ask when he goes to visit Kaylee
Hank telling him how he found his nest egg is one of the biggest takedowns in the show. After seeing everything Mike went through and all the money is gone, cause of Walt.
Mike's pretty savvy wouldn't you say? Maybe he has 3 other spots he's deposited huge amounts? Maybe he's got more coming and it's never ending? We'll never know.
It's not like he's into buying yachts.
Every time Mike’s devising a scheme without context I’m like “What’s he up to man, what’s he doing.”
in his head, he is telling himself "here's whats gonna happen"

He can't win any fight.
It's all about leverage and the element of surprise.
That's why Walter shot him at the end.
@@Tzizenorec Both of you didn't watch the show; the other guy (Nacho) paid Mike to assassinate Tuco, but Mike refuses to kill Tuco because the whole Salamanca family will come after Nacho if he did that; so he devises a plan to get Tuco jail time for 8 years at least, so that Nacho's problem will be fixed and no one will have to die.
@@Tzizenorec Did you watch Breaking Bad then?
Don't care
I love the laugh Tuco gives after realizing he’s going away either way 😂
I think part of it is realizing Mike isn't who he played him to be. He was bettered and had a weird form of respect for Mike. He laughed when Walt blew up his office too
it was the equivalent of a chess master laughing touche to an opponent who bested them

4:41 what’s great about this scene is that mike actually got hank to tell them what they got on him, mike playing the “you got nothing on me” card actually got hank to spill how much they know about him helping mike figure out how to play his next move.

@@groofromtheup5719 true true my memory is fuzzy but i felt like there was something about him not getting bail bc he did this with an officer as witness or something like that idk. just peak mike and peak tuco i love that scene
yeah that part gives me a real chuckle, especially Tuco's laugh. One of my favourite little scenes in all of BB and BCS as a whole.
@@xXmechamonkeeXx No the real issue was that tuco was in possession of a gun which made the situation worse. Albeit punching Mike rifht in front of the police officers definitely didnt help
That first scene is one of my all time favorites.
It perfectly encapsulated both Tuco and Mike's characters.
Mike comes out on top like always (well, not always when the one who knocks is around), and Tuco finishes his L in a perfect Tuco way.
What's even more interesting is the actor playing Tuco who said he hated playing the character because he was violent, rash, cruel and evil and he wanted Tuco to die at the end of s(1?2?)

Mike is like playing chess on his enemies where he's a move or two ahead of them. Mike is one of my favorite BCS/BB characters of all time. My favorite scene of him is when he purchased the welcome mats as a tatic where he can noticed if his house was broken into or not due to the fact he declined the $5,000 offer that was given to from Hector Salamanca.
My favorite is the one where he gets a salamanca truck captured. He hangs boots full of drugs on an electric line and shoots to make drugs fall on a truck. Just plain old genius 😂

Mike doesn’t need his own show . . . He outsmarted everyone by dominating two of the best shows of all time.

What I love about the Breaking Bad franchise is that it shows that to be a good criminal you have to be, above all other things, intelligent. Most people associated criminals with being dumb for the choices they make in their life and while that's somewhat true, a good criminal will probably be way smarter than the average citizen at solving non-academic problems

Showing great range. THAT is what great actors are about -- not playing one narrow kind of character every time.

Knowing Tuco, he was honestly pretty well contained in that first clip
yeah i think it's because he respects elders and had'nt gotten hooked on drugs quite yet
Jail probably made him a bit more wild, as it's often the case.
I think it's only because he's in a public space
Calmest Tuco moment
he wasnt on the glass bbq
I feel like Gus recruited Mike not only because he recognized how valuable an asset he was, but also because Mike is not the kind of person even a drug lord like Gus wants to have working against them.
I love the way he responds to grave threats as though they are mild inconveniences🤣🤣
2:18 Nacho dropping the car keys to incriminate Tuco further
Hank is one of the few people I think actually got to Mike, but he refused to let him see it
Hank is a great interrogator. He goads or intimidates the macho criminals and fakes friendly with some
Hank single-handedly could've taken down the whole operation. Too bad Heisenberg did it first. And too bad he crossed Jack.
Hank is someone who would have been on the same skill level as Mike when he got older (Except maybe a slight edge on combat and tech knowledge, where Mike will always be superior). The only important difference would have been that Hank would have stayed on the more ethical side of things instead of collaborating with criminals.
The chewing gum one is my personal favorite. I had to rewatch it several times during the first time I was watching it, really amused and excited by how Mike perfectly executed it.

@@woahblackbetty7691 and reading the comments too :D
He wasn’t really “outsmarted”, he was surprised by someone he thought he was able to trust and it costed him.
It always feels so weird seeing a dead character in a prequel show alive and well, it’s just haunting knowing their eventual fate and downfall. And to think most of these characters’s deaths in this show was caused by one man, *Walter White.*
Waltuh
Very *dramatic*
Rip Mike he died when Waltuh forgot to put his dick away
Mike didn’t die
@@fellurs you clearly haven’t seen Ep. 7 of season 5 in Breaking Bad, have you?
When Mike turned 18 and left home he said to his father "you're the man of the house now"
Holy shet billy mays lives on!
8:26
*RIP* to our legend Billy Mays
1953-2009
It’s kinda bittersweet when you realise billy mays is actually alive when the events of BCS happened, and that he died some time during breaking bad
Just realized that for both Jimmy and Mike, their stories start with them outsmarting Tuco
"stories start"?
The clip of Mike & Tuco is from the second season by which point Mike had already interacted with Nacho several times beforehand.
@@N313GrayFox I still see this as the moment where Mike gets fully wrapped up with the Cartel and later on Gus. Those other times he’d interacted with Nacho weren’t even Cartel related, it was a side hustle for both of them. Mike’s tussle with Tuco is what puts him on Hector’s radar, and then Gus’s shortly after
Mike, Jimmy, and Walter had one thing and common: They had to deal with Tuco.
@@eduardocherry7268 True. If it weren’t for that vet, he would have never interacted with the Juàrez cartel.
@@juanjoyaborja.3054
Mike wanted to sabotage Hector's drug operation and succeeded
Nacho wanted to put Hector in a wheelchair and succeeded
Walter wanted to kill Gus with the help of Hector and succeeded
This compilation could show damn near any interaction Mike has in either show. Nobody really outsmarts him. Walt just kinda goes crazy on him, and he easily outsmarts Lalo. What a great character
Walt's unpredictability (in addition to his intelligence when thinking on his feet) is what enabled him to outsmart Mike.
Lowkey Lalo outsmarted him at the end and got mike and the security away from gus
Walt never out smarted Mike. He just became a man child and shot him for essentially no reason
@@TateAnakov yeah he was fed up with mike talking to him like he was a child ahah
@@TateAnakov What about Gale's death? I'd say he outsmarted Mike by far there.
This was such a nice compilation. Thanks for uploading👍🏼
It is always amazing to watch a professional doing his work, especially the dangerous kind.
Mike is the reason you can tell your children why they need to do their homework.
whatever thats supposed to mean
@@pertsa7614 Bro...
@@pertsa7614 I don’t think you did your homework
@@pertsa7614 im not quite sure what its supposed to mean either
I always like his derpy old man routine in the first scene
“Awh cmon guys”
Bro the way Mike discovered that Gus was tracking him in season 3 is ingenious
Better Call Saul makes me so much more bitter about the way Mike is taken out. But I can at least take solace in the fact that he wasn't necessarily outsmarted or beaten in a regular sense. He just underestimated how much of an absolute man-child Walter was. His downfall was in not being evil enough to take Walt out first (Which isn't a bad thing in many ways.) Still, knowing he did it all for nothing and that Kailey won't see a dime hurts like Hell.
Yeah it is true
he still provided for them a lot and jesse will take care of her aswell so
The farewell to Mike at the end of BCS with his empty guard shack actually made me very sad.
It says something about human psychology how easy it is for viewers to empathize with problematic characters.
@@Arathurs Mike is no saint, that's for sure, but it's hard not to at least root for him a little. He was the anti-Walt, actually doing it all for his family.
Mike is like a video game protagonist, random dudes mess with him but he always comes out on top
Well, not always.
He's really smart specially the carbon paper he put under the welcome mat , and the chewing gum trick to malfunction the parking machine , he's an amazing character, and his brilliance comes from his experience
18:47 bruh I just feel bad for that guy just minding his own business while lalo and mike are in a chase lmao that “I’m sorry it’s just not working” and when lalo hits him and spills his drink like bruh 🤣
Definitely not the worst outcome of a canon interaction of Lalo and a stranger..
"Well here's the thing mike...er... Michael?"
"Mr Ehmentraut"
"Here's the thing Mike..."
Hahahaha
I hate Hank for being like that. Being a blatantly disrespectful, hog-like, know-it-all.
@@MasterAdamonia it was actually an interrogation technique, to show that Mie wouldn't be the one dictating the conversation. Because after all, every interrogation is all about leverage
@@callumbreton8930it was also really funny
@@MasterAdamonia hank was literally one of the best characters in da show, i hate how he died
@@werdnoek have u seen the spoof where he comes back to life lol ?
So glad you included him robbing the truck. As you notice he parks his car in a specific spot to distract the driver so he can sneak up from behind.
or he parked it behind the only thing big enough to hide a car
@@quentin4518 definitely that
mike has never been outsmarted, walt got lucky.
Mike is that type of uncle you never had.
Finger really is so intelligent. My favourite part was when he said "its outsmartin' time" and outsmarted all over the place.
My fav part is when you commit sudoku
@@hydroxytriptamine3554 pretty bold comin from a guy with a chemical for a name
Just Let this cringey reddit meme die out just like the rest.
@@Welsh7133yeah My chemical romance sucks
@@Welsh7133 Dafuq
I miss Better Call Saul. I don't think we'll ever get a show as good as that again.
breaking bad
@@JadeiteMcSwag 'again'
Maybe people used to say the same after The Sopranos. Might take a while but we will get another piece of art.
@@grislyrelic6304 Yeah, didn't you hear? They're debuting the first episode next month! So exciting!
I prefer Breaking Bad. BCS was almost as good because of many of the side characters like Mike and Lalo
Possibly my favorite BB/BCS character.
I love Jonathan Banks. I The interactions between Saul and Mike at the guard shack.. was classic. Thank you for taking the time to upload this.
Love the exchange between hank & Mike, one of my favourite scenes,
'Is it Mike or Michael '
'Mr Ermantraht '
'So anyway mike' 🤣🤣🤣
I think deep down Hank respects the fact Mike is not your average guy
Also showing cops' arrogance and stupidity. (Not all cops, but far too many).
@@rogergeyer9851 how does it show that? He had a right to be arrogant he was right on everything lol
"oh come on guys!" this is my favorite version of Mike hahaha
Tuco laughing and punching him even after the cops show up is great
rip for the innocent man at 19:30 who had his yummy drink and whole day ruined.
