History Memes / BreakingBad

* "BRAVO VINCE"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A phrase used to mock the fandom's CreatorWorship of Vince Gilligan, which is applied to ironically praise him for just about everything that happens in both ''Breaking Bad'' or ''Better Call Saul'', even if it's completely nonsensical or things that he would have no control over.[[/labelnote]]
** This ironic praise has also led to Peter Gould, the head writer of ''Breaking Bad'' and co-creator of ''Better Call Saul'', becoming a ButtMonkey among the fandom, with everything he does, even if they're unrelated to the show, being jokingly attributed to Vince Gilligan.

* "Look at me, Hector."/Buff Gus[[labelnote:explanation]] A video of Brazilian muscle man Fabio Franca Araujo(who can at a glance be easily mistaken for Creator/GiancarloEsposito) ripping his shirt open and flexing his pecs. This video is often used [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiarvndKeIQ in conjunction with the scene where Gus tries to make Hector Salamanca look at him or other interactions between them]], to make it seem like Hector is looking away because [[HoYay otherwise he'd be aroused]].[[/labelnote]]

* Howard and Lalo in the Superlab[[labelnote:Explanation (Spoilers)]] In the ''Series/BetterCallSaul'' episode "[[Recap/BetterCallSaulS6E8PointAndShoot Point and Shoot]]", Lalo Salamanca and Howard Hamlin's bodies are buried in the ground of the superlab construction site by Mike. This means that that Walt and Jesse are unknowingly cooking crystal meth over the corpses of two of BSC's major characters for two entire seasons of ''Series/BreakingBad''. As such, fans gleefully began to point out the FridgeHorror in various scenes where the superlab appears in BB, particularly when [[Recap/BreakingBadS3E8ISeeYou Jesse is goofing around when waiting for Walter]]. The entirety of "[[Recap/BreakingBadS3E10Fly Fly]]" also tends to be spoofed, with many fans pretending that the titular housefly is either Howard or Lalo reincarnated, with them haunting Walt and Jesse during the episode's events.[[/labelnote]]

* "No more half measures." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mike's cautionary tale to Walt about dealing with Jesse has become popular.[[/labelnote]]

** Jesse, we need to cook.

* ''Breaking Bad'' if [[ForWantOfANail X never happened]][[labelnote:explanation]] A clip of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovqM72em1dA the opening of the]] "[[Series/PawnStars Barely Legal Pawn]]" sketch Creator/BryanCranston and Creator/AaronPaul did for [[UsefulNotes/EmmyAward the Emmys]] pretending like it's Walt and Jesse in a radically altered timeline, caused by something silly like "if Walt went go-karting with Jesse" or "if Hank pissed instead of shitting".[[/labelnote]]

* Waltuh. [[labelnote:explanation]]Fans frequently have Mike addressing Walt as "Waltuh" due to his gravelly voice.[[/labelnote]]

* Howard Hamlin is the kind of guy to...[[labelnote:Explanation]]To make fun of how milquetoast Howard is compared to the rest of the cast, people started saying hilariously awkward things Howard "would do", such as not being able to kill a civilian in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'', saying "nice kitty" when falling into a lion enclosure, or to start floating in the air when he smells a delicious pie. It's adapted from similar jokes once made regarding Music/{{Drake}}.[[/labelnote]]

* ~[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Myt9ybv0IaU Ahh]]~! [[TheImmodestOrgasm AAHHH! OOOH, HOLY MOTHER OF GOD]]![[labelnote:explanation]] An outtake of Creator/BryanCranston in character as Walt during the the scene where he reinserts his I.V. back into his arm, making some [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything questionable moaning sounds and exclamations]]. Cue the fleet of incoming jokes about Walt and Skyler's sex life or about Walt having sex with Mike(see above) using this sound bite.[[/labelnote]]

* "My name is Skyler White, yo."[[labelnote:Explanation]]In ''[[Recap/BreakingBadS1E2TheCatsInTheBag The Cat's In The Bag]]'', Skyler confronts Jesse thinking that Walt is associating with him to buy weed. Her [[SpeakingLikeTotallyTeen incredibly awkward attempts to follow Jesse's speaking mannerisms]] and Jesse's prolonged OhCrap expression thinking that his methmaking operation got busted has led to the scene getting a ton of edits, usually adding loud, bassy explosions after each one of Skyler's lines.[[/labelnote]]

* Waltuh. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans frequently have Mike addressing Walt as "Waltuh" due to his gravelly voice.[[/labelnote]]

* Walt's Breakdown. [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]In [[Recap/BreakingBadS5E14Ozymandias "Ozymandias"]], Walter collapses in despair after seeing Hank get shot in the head. The utter shock on Walter's face has led to the sequence being used for various gifs, and the first few frames of the shot have also been used as reaction images.[[/labelnote]]

* Put your dick away, Walter.:[[labelnote:Explanation]]Taken from a [[https://twitter.com/BreakingBadIrny/status/1538899479394279424 Twitter video]], which has been reposted on [=YouTube=] and [=TikTok=] with different variants. [[/labelnote]]

* "I need to see your balls."[[labelnote:Explanation]]A misheard line from a scene where Hector walks into Los Pollos Hermanos and tells an employee, "I need to see your boss." Due to Hector's aforementioned thick Mexican accent, "boss" can be misheard as "balls."

* Many people have parodied Walt's appearance in [[http://uproxx.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/season_1_amc_poster.jpg the "Change the Equation" season 1 poster]] (the one where he has no pants and white underwear), sometimes crossing it over with other shows like ''WesternAnimation/{{Adventure|Time}} [[http://37.media.tumblr.com/1035816d1ef51cce57f01f9c6fdd9887/tumblr_n3cw4mEqIP1t7b5qro1_1280.png Time]]'', ''[[WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers Bob's]] [[http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxMDgw/z/FyIAAOSwo8hTnB5t/$_35.JPG Burgers]]'', ''WesternAnimation/{{The|Smurfs}} [[http://www.empireonline.com/images/image_index/upfiles/buffer/7C8EC7AE3E4842ABA60CDAD9137C6D14.jpg Smurfs]]'', and even ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinky and|TheBrain}} [[http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/line9-27-display.jpg the Brain]]''.

* Bitch wife. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ironic nickname for Skyler referencing her RonTheDeathEater status. The meme or joke is often set up as overblowing relatively harmless things Skyler did while downplaying horrible crimes Walter have done, presented like a boomer joke about nagging wife.[[/labelnote]]

* "Walt during ''Better Call Saul''"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Since ''BCS'' is a prequel to ''Breaking Bad'', fans like to make jokes about how Walter White is living a relatively mundane life in contrast to whatever drama is going on with the ''BCS'' crew.[[/labelnote]]

* Badger and Skinny Pete's ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Star Trek]]'' FanFic conversation. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJZjMGd2b0M Now in animated form]].

** There's also juxtapositions of Walt's dramatic scenes in BB with silly things from ''Malcolm''. [[http://electric-purpleboo.tumblr.com/post/134516505057/danielle-grace-i-struggle-greatly-with-the-fact For example]].
