Alternative Cuts is a YouTube channel specializing in creating high quality edited meme videos where clips of characters from various media are spliced and edited onto a scene, and uses existing dialogue in such a way that it conveys an original plot involving those characters interacting with each other. Sometimes, characters from different works altogether are inserted into the same scene, resulting in a crossover. The two works Alternative Cuts make videos from the most, however, are Breaking Bad (and Better Call Saul) and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with both franchises consequently occasionally colliding in crossovers.

Alternative Cuts' YouTube channel can be found here.

Breaking Kitchen is an ongoing series of videos made by Alternative Cuts, which depicts a crossover between Breaking Bad and Hell's Kitchen wherein characters from the former participate in the latter. The whole series can be found here.

    Tropes for Breaking Kitchen 
  • Cerebus Syndrome: At first, Breaking Kitchen was just supposed to be a hilarious Weird Crossover where the characters of Breaking Bad bring their trademark personalities (including Jerkass and Ax-Crazy) to Hell's Kitchen. Then by Episode 6, an actual background plot forms involving Ramsay and Walter having a preexisting agreement to never mention meth or Jesse in the show, Gus poisoning Ramsay and staging a Hostile Show Takeover, and Hank investigating Breaking Kitchen and Ramsay under the suspicion that he is a meth kingpin.
  • Chekhov's Gun: In Episode 1, a bottle of Zafiro Añejo tequila can be seen on Gus' workstation. In Episode 7, Mike and his security team realizes that the tequila wasn't there previously, but they discovered it too late as Ramsay is poisoned by it.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: The Breaking Bad characters often massively overreact to Ramsay's biting criticisms of their dishes. This is especially true with the Salamancas, with Lalo threatening Ramsay at gunpoint into increasing the number of points awarded to his dish, and Tuco having the Cousins kill guest judge Tortuga for not liking his dish.
    • In Episode 7, Gus poisons Ramsay with a poisoned tequila because he didn't appreciate his curly fries enough.
  • Hostile Show Takeover: In Episode 7, after Ramsay criticized his curly fries as "bland", Gus poisons him, forcing Mike and Jesse to take Ramsay away. Gus then takes control of the show, calms down and reassures the other contestants, and essentially takes control of Breaking Kitchen.
