Hoboken Squat Cobbler!
LMAO last night at the end of this episode.
It looks like a school bus for a 6 year old pimp. D:

Every time I see that guy Wormald I picture about a dozen ATOT members. Only he's probably not nearly as clueless or socially inept . When he launched into the unasked-for advice on protecting baseball cards from light, I cracked up. It could have been scripted from an ATOT thread.

That was really funny. And the way he drags it out. Like he sets them up to ask the next question, they ask it and he has an even more ridiculous answer. Great, great scene.Hoboken Squat Cobbler!

Not to mention him dragging it out caused him to have a video fabricated lol. But then again it makes sense because I don't think they would just believe that.

Unfortunately the only good scene of the episode. The rest of it was excruciatingly slow.
Show of hands: How many of you googled "squat cobbler" to see if it was really a thing?

It's a form of mirroring. Many of the current scenes demonstrate how Saul feels about his lot in life; and it IS excruciating to him. The meetings are meant to be painful. Slippin' Jimmy is miserable in the corporate world.
Was tempted but passed. It might be a real thing but I don't really care.

Does anyone else think that writers put certain words and phrases in their shows just to see how many Google searches are done on that term after the show airs?
I mean it would make sense for the producers to have some way of double checking the rating services - or service. I guess it's just Nielson for the most part.

Odenkirk is an old school improv type. I think that was his scene, unscripted. It was glorious.

That was Bob Odenkirk. The scene was originally written with the guy sitting in pies, but it didn't have a specific name. It was just an imaginary pastry fetish. Odenkirk thought the scene would play better if it had some goofy sort of "official" name and asked the writers to do it that way. They took his notes and ran with the idea. So in this case it wasn't done to trigger searches, but it exploded anyway. You could probably find a million mentions of "squat cobbler" now.

Can anyone tell me why Jimmy's brother is a complete douchebag?
He has a very specific agenda against Jimmy to become a lawyer. But why? Is he that small of a man who's consumed by baseless jealousy?
I mean Jimmy was such an amazing brother to him. Why screw him over?

Is he miserable in the corporate world? I don't think so. It's just that vindictive brother of his.

Damn. Where do you even find information like that? Sounds legit but you never really know for sure.
I get the impression that Jimmy was always the fuckup brother and Chuck has always been the one who bailed him out. They probably fell into these roles early in life and they just became a part of who they are.
But occasionally, you get someone like Jimmy who manages to get his shit together and break out of that role which then threatens the self-perception of the other person - Chuck. I think of it like parents that have a lot of kids who then leave home. Or someone who does a particular job all of his life and then has to retire. They don't know how to be any other way so they flounder. Or worse, try to recreate the old dynamic either with the same person or someone new.
That's my armchair analysis anyway. It could be that Chuck is just whack. After all, he does have this irrational fear of EMF. So that has to belie deeper psychological issues.

It's legit, unlike most people here I check my sources. Info came from the shows producer and co-creator Peter Gould:

there is also now the stupid "Talking ____" blah blah show they do immediately after each new episode. It's possible they talked about it in that as well.
Also, as Gaghalfront and myself mentioned, if you are familiar with Odenkirk at all, that kind of scene is his wheelhouse. Expect a lot of improv or off-the-cuff type dialogue to make it into the final cut, or for him to just write his own dialogue to fill in gaps. That's basically his career.
Whenever I see a scene like that (you know it when you see it), I just default to "Oh, he's doing a bit."

Nope, not even close. Odenkirk asked Vince and the staff to create a slang name and write it into the scene because he thought it sounded better that way. Despite his background as an improv comic Bob does not improv in this show or in Breaking Bad.

well, you glossed over this part that I wrote:
so, "nope, not even close" isn't at all accurate. More like.."yeah, close enough"
helps to cover all bases at once.

I don't want to post any spoilers, but did you get to the episode where he aired it all out?
