History Funny / BetterCallSaul

* After Nacho and Lalo visit Gus at Los Pollos Hermanos, and Lalo insists on speaking with Gus in private, Gus gives Nacho something between an inquiring look and a DeathGlare. Nacho just answers with a shrug, as if saying "Hey, I don't like this guy any more than you do, boss. Don't put this on me".

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72NGmg3sIrA Five Words]]: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_cy83AGFL8 "What is Mesa Verde hiding?"]] RefugeInAudacity and BlackComedy taken up to eleven as "customers" accuse Mesa Verde of fictitious misdeeds: evicting them from their lands, black mold in their banks, funding terrorism, and the crown jewel, an elderly "customer" "recounting" how Kevin's father flashed her.

** "The bank manager couldn't explain where all the extra fees were going, so I followed the money trail. The evidence was as clear as day: ''my bank was funding '''terrorism'''!''"

* Jimmy's attempt to infiltrate the country club is nearly foiled when Kevin tries to get him kicked out. So Jimmy deliberately [[LargeHam hams it up]] and [[RefugeInAudacity accuses everyone in the lounge of anti-Semitism]]. Kevin then accidentally makes ''himself'' look like an anti-Semite.

** After Kim's visit to the judge, Ericsen has her associates comb through the letters and find anything to throw the book at Huell. She also calls several of the supposed senders, with all of the calls actually going to Jimmy and his camera crew, who have set up in Jimmy's backroom office at the nail salon, with four rows of drop phones lined up on the table for them to answer as different parishioners. The first call we hear Ericsen make goes to "Louise Lockhart," which is answered by the makeup artist. She pretends to be a religious Bible-loving belle, and ends the call by angrily shouting, "Shame on you!" Jimmy is impressed by her acting skills and she sheepishly admits she's been doing improv classes since their last gig.
** During the makeup artist's call, she drops the name of the Free Will Baptist Church that Huell supposedly goes to. This prompts Ericsen to look up the church and find a website set up by Jimmy with [[StylisticSuck a terrible slideshow of Huell doing innocent things]] on the homepage. She then calls the number for the "church", which is answered by Jimmy on another drop phone. While the phone rings, Jimmy has his crew [[LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn put on a CD with organ music]] for ambience. When he picks up as the pastor, he puts on a "Southern gentleman" accent that's much like Bob Odenkirk's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m9Fv9O6AnU "Senator Tankerbell"]] from ''Series/MrShow''. This goes on for several minutes as Jimmy spins a fictional story about Huell rescuing elderly congregants from a church fire during Bible study, one that even makes the normally stoic camera guy snicker.

* Jimmy's awful karaoke rendition of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qll7hCYFNjs The Winner takes it all]]" gets superseded by Chuck's marvelous take over. As this is after Chuck tried to leave early and say he didn't want to sing, [[BatmanGambit it's what Jimmy was really planning all along]].

* Gus's alibi and explanation for the information Lalo gleaned from Werner: a new chicken chiller being built in one of his warehouses, using Werner's workers, with Mike overseeing them. Oh, and Werner stole two kilos of cocaine from him. Throughout the whole scene, you can tell from the expression on Lalo's face that he knows Gus is just bullshitting.
-->'''Lalo:''' That explains everything.\\

** Every time he mentions saving Huell from jail time, he continuously escalates the potential sentence he would've faced. He started with 3 years before ending up at 25.

** After that, he's given a small flash mob in the form of Jimmy's college filmmakers. The Make-Up Girl pretends to be a reporter with EightiesHair while the camera and mic guys act as her crew, ambushing him about a nonexistent client he's representing.

* Jimmy gets Ira to rob Neff Copiers after Mike turns him down, promising it's easy money. Should be a simple job? Well, it would've been, but Mr. Neff has just [[ExiledToTheCouch been kicked out by his wife]] after trying to use [[GiftGivingGaffe a vacuum cleaner as a romantic gift]], and is sleeping in the office. The poor guy has to hide under his desk listening to Mr. Neff arguing with his wife on the phone, ordering takeout, and listening to self-help tapes for what seems to be hours before he's able to call Jimmy to help get him out. The sad sack even plays TabletopGame/{{Solitaire}} with actual cards.

* Mike prepares to throw a pair of shoes onto a telephone wire, and it seems we're about to get a repeat of the famous one take pizza toss from ''Breaking Bad''. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Instead, it takes him three tries]].

* Jimmy resorts to a flopsy scam to sell his remaining commercial spots. SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome as his middle-aged body can't take those kind of falls anymore and he really does hurt his back.

'''Jimmy:''' Yeah. I'm gonna read your number. And it's another "B". ''[laughs]'' It's another frigging "B". Boy, of course. Why not? Why not?! ''[sighs]'' And the next number... ''[{{Beat}}]'' Uh, quick question, who here knows what a Chicago sunroof is? Anybody? You, sir? No? Okay. True story -- uh, back home, uh, there was this guy named Chet. Now, Chet was a real ''asshole''. He might have owed me some money. He might have slept with my wife… before she became my ex-wife. The details don't matter. Suffice it to say, ''I'' was wronged. All right, so, one summer evening, I was out having a few drinks -- 1 or 2, maybe 3. ''[chuckles]'' You get the picture? And, uh, who do I see? Chet. He drove up, and he double-parked outside a Dairy Queen and went in to get some soft-serve. Now, Chet drove -- and this will give you an idea of exactly what kind of a douchebag this guy was -- drove a white pearlescent BMW 7 series with white leather interior. ''[chuckles]'' So, I saw that thing, and I had -- I'd had a few, like I said. And, uh... I climbed up top, and I may have... defecated, uhhhh, through the sunroof. ''[{{Beat}}]'' Not my finest hour -- I'll grant you that. But that's what a Chicago sunroof is. Now you know. ''[chuckles]'' It's a real thing. I didn't make it up. I'm not the first person to do it. There's a name for it. Guy wanted some soft-serve -- I gave him some soft-serve. I did not know that his children were in the backseat. There was a level of tint on the windows that I'll maintain to this day was not legal in an Illinois-licensed vehicle. But somehow, that's on me, I guess. Who leaves 2 Cub Scouts in a double-parked car with the engine running?! Come on. Now, Chet was connected, see? Like, uh, Cicero connected. So, usually, I'd be looking at malicious mischief, public intoxication, disorderly conduct, maybe, but he's got the D.A. saying indecent exposure, calling me a sex offender. What? One little Chicago sunroof, and suddenly I'm UsefulNotes/CharlesManson?! And that's where it all went off the rails. I've been paying for it ever since. THAT’S WHY I’M HERE!

* Gus is obviously very skeptical of the report that his hit squad were all killed, yet also succeeded in killing Lalo.

-->'''Jimmy:''' Um, [[LetMeGetThisStraight just so I understand]], you were gonna give me a tour and then you realized you don't need new members?\\

* In an ''incredibly'' dark bit of BlackComedy, The Cousins awkwardly lifting up the furious Hector (while still in his wheelchair) and moving him over to Nacho's corpse so that he can childishly desecrate it with bullets is rather humourous, though the viewer is unlikely to laugh in light of what just happened.

* Mike's exchange with Kim is rather tense since Kim realizes he is the man that saved Jimmy and he is the one having her followed in case Lalo comes back. Then just as he walks out she remembers he was the booth attendant at the courthouse a few years ago which leaves her even more puzzled.

* Jimmy's attempt to infiltrate the country club is nearly foiled when Kevin tries to get him kicked out. So Jimmy deliberately [[LargeHam hams it up]] and [[RefugeInAudacity accuses everyone in the lounge of anti-semitism]]. Kevin then accidentally makes ''himself'' look like an anti-Semite.

* A man by the name of Richard "Ricky" Sipes who owns a big house and 1,100 acres of land in the countryside wants Jimmy’s help to allow his property to secede from the United States of America. Ricky offers a payment of $1 million, half up front, for Jimmy’s services. Jimmy sees that the $100 bills have Ricky’s face plastered on them, and the scene cuts to him driving away as fast as possible (the fact that no bank will ever take such obviously counterfeit money might have something to do with it).
* A man named Roland Jaycox [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54OYS_mZlBE wants Jimmy to help him get a patent for his invention called "Tony the Toilet Buddy", which he demonstrates in his garage]]. Roland seems ignorant to the fact that his phrases of encouragement for toilet-training children clearly sound more like sexual innuendos than something child-appropriate, until Jimmy points it out to him.

'''Roland:''' ''[angrily]'' You're completely disgusting, you know that?!\\

'''Roland:''' ''[still angry]'' Get off my property!\\

* Saul's negotiation with government agents leads to him successfully negotiating his life sentences down to 7 years in a low-security white collar prison. With several accommodations at his request. If that wasn't enough, he even tries asking for a weekly delivery of chocolate chip and mint ice cream!

'''Lalo ''' ''(Casually annoyed)'': Oh my god, OK, fine! Yeah right, I heard! Whatever, give her the keys, give her the address, let's go!

** Bob sits down on a couch, landing in such a way that he falls between the two sections and it makes a loud squeak. He (realizing the take is ruined) then proceeds to push it apart further, resulting in even more squeaking.
