Breaking Bad Episode Titles Tier List 

I'm stealing this

We're clearly running out of idea's

"Cancer man" is a reference to an X files character "Bit by a dead bee" refers to the consequences of the tuco thing even after his death, the bee being tuco in this context

the best part was when Walt said "I am Ozymandias" and the ground cracked.

Iron (Fe) = Blood Litium (Li) = Meth Sodium (Na) = Tears Blood, meth and tears. Beautiful title, S tier.

3:33 i think the bee is tuco and it shows that even after tuco is dead, he stills causes walt problems (having to fake the fugue state).

11:26 hn films when he interacts with his subscribers

The fact that I got a MLB ad with Bryan Cranston before this is crazy

Ugh. Imagining Plan and Execution actually being named "Candle" now.

'kafkaesque': - cool word - obvious reference to the title in the episode - also subtly references what happens in the episode (jesse thinking his situation is getting worse) B tier 'green light': - cool phrase - obvious reference to the title in the episode - also subtly references what happens in the episode (gus gives walter the 'go ahead' to start cooking meth again) D tier this might be my first dislike on a breaking bad ranking ever, mr n. films

HN Films, "Pilot" actually refers to Walt piloting the RV, which he is driving in the cold open. It is also foreshadowing the "pilot" of the Wayfarer that will collide with another "pilot" in midair, killing hundreds in season 3. Hope this helps!

I never knew what I.F.T. stood for until this video

Good video, but I think there's some more meanings that I think are on the Wiki too. 'Grey Matter' is both the business, and about grey morality with Walter ending the episode deciding to return to cooking meth. There's also 'Sunset' which I see as also representing the RV being destroyed as the end of an era for the show. I think those two titles should be higher, but most episodes have clever titles.

Live Free Or Die is S tier

"Mandala" also means in spanish send it, which could refer to Walt needing to sent the meth to Gus

14:55 you suprise me everytime just how bad your opinions can get

Everyday I hope this guy Ranks Every Metasisasis Episode, you know we all want it.

The Teddy Bear Flash Forwards would've had a better payoff if, in better call, saul we see Howard hamlin and his wife Cheryl get on a plane, and it turns out to be wayfarer 515

I always appreciate a good tier list!

Say My Name is S tier 🎩

Love this concept--episode titles need more appreciation.

that thumbnail is pretty fucking cool

That was, excuse me, a damn fine twin peaks reference

I recently rewatched the last episode of season 2 and I got shocked at how brilliant it is.

W 1 am video fr

I.f.t not getting S is a crime. First episode i thought of when i saw this video. Great vid though man as always

You should make a video with your takes on bb spinoffs and how likely you think they will happen.

Love the Spyro music 👍

Breaking Bad as the shows title would be A tier, right?

Dude, I had this idea a few months ago, but it would be shortest to longest title

love how you completely miss the symbolism of some scenes/titles lol

you missed the second meaning of Shotgun. The guy who Jesse stopped at the end was gonna shoot Mike with a shotgun, (that's what Gus wanted Jesse to think I mean)

I talked about this in the bbu discord so I should get credit

Make a ranking every sopranos episode or ranking every succession episode PLEASE 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏

don’t care about the video only skipped to the part with Sharon

Thx pooky

Gray matter is my favourite episode. Very underrated, if you care for character introspection you like it

I don't like the element thing for Felina, they never use a birch reduction (which is the meth cooking method that applies lithium) in the series, so it's dumb and stupid

How could you do my boys Green Light, Cornered, and Say my name like that?!

Immediately discredited for putting Seven Thirty-Seven in C tier. Thats insane

Green light could get bumped up a teir as it’s also gus giving Walt the green light to cook again

im in love with you

10:51 is that on a green screen?

Here are the explanations for each episode in the series based on the wiki page, split in two so that my comment will be able to send. Pilot: The pilot episode (first episode) of the series; a pilot light is needed to cook crystal; the alternate title Breaking Bad references the show itself and Walt breaking bad (raising Hell in Vince Gilligan's words) Cat's in the Bag...: Part of a reference to Sweet Smell of Success, where a character resolves an issue; "The cat's in the bag" usually involves keeping secrets such as Walt's cancer and Emilio's death ...And the Bag's in the River: The second part of the Sweet Smell of Success reference as the second and final part of the Krazy 8 mini-arc; Walt's cancer diagnosis is no longer secret; "The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river" means that a situation such as Emilio and Krazy 8 has been handled Cancer Man: Is all about Walt's cancer and his role as a man; a reference to Vince Gilligan's former show The X-Files's villain of the same name, foreshadowing Walt's own villainous turn later Gray Matter: The name of the company that features heavily in the episode; gray is a mix of Walt's and Elliot's last names; a type of brain tissue; emphasizes the gray morality of the show Crazy Handful of Nothin': A reference to Cool Hand Luke, where the titular protagonist is called this based on his poker hand; Jesse tries to sell a pound but gets beat up; Walt's handful of explosive mercury which is "not meth"; Krazy 8 is now a handful of nothing A No-Rough-Stuff-Type Deal: A reference to Fargo, where the antagonist wants this sort of situation to happen but it all goes wrong; mirrors Walt's desire for a non-violent deal and the same violent outcome; Walt's deal with Tuco Seven Thirty-Seven: The first of four clues for the final scene of the season, involving a Boeing 737 airplane; Walt needs 737 thousand dollars to get out of the game Grilled: Walt and Jesse are interrogated (grilled); Tuco's grill jewelry; Tuco's grilled steak Bit by a Dead Bee: A running joke from To Have or Have Not, where a drunk keeps asking if anyone's been bit by a dead bee; Walt and Jesse are bit by the consequences of the dead Tuco Down: The second of the teddy bear cold opens, where the planes have been struck down; Walt and Jesse are both in low conditions (Walt is shunned by Skylar, Jesse is homeless) Breakage: Any type of service that is unused by the customer; a word Jesse says in the episode; Walt breaks through his old life to be a criminal; Hank experiences mental breakdowns from his encounter with Tuco Peekaboo: Jesse plays peekaboo with Skooge's kid; Walt plays a figurative game of peekaboo with Gretchen about his money laundering Negro y Azul: Black and blue in Spanish, usually meaning bruising; the name of the song in the teaser; Heisenberg's outfit and meth; Skylar's dress; Jesse's black TV with a blue searching for signal screen Better Call Saul: Saul Goodman's slogan 4 Days Out: Walt and Jesse spend four days out in the desert; Walt's cancer test takes four days to come back Over: The third of the teddy bear cold opens, where the planes have crashed over the area; Walt's Heisenberg business is over for now; Walt is ironically under the house; Walt's civilian life is over Mandala: Sanskrit for the circle of life; Combo dies and Holly is in the process of being born in the same episode, which is part of the circle of life; Los Pollos Hermanos is run like a mandala in Southeast Asian political formations- difficult to get in Phoenix: Jane is revealed to be from Phoenix, Arizona; the Phoenix Lander is talked about on the news; Holly is born and Jane dies, mirroring how the phoenix is born from its own ashes ABQ: The final teddy bear cold open, where the plane crash happens in Albuquerque, commonly nicknamed ABQ; 737 down over ABQ means a plane has crashed over Albuquerque No Mas: Spanish for no more; Walt doesn't want to cook anymore; Jesse doesn't want to be an addict anymore; Skyler doesn't want to be married to Walt anymore; a reference to Roberto Duran announcing his retirement from boxing, only to return to it a short time later, like Walt does with his cooking Caballo Sin Nombre: Spanish for horse with no name, a song sung by the band America; Walt sings this song twice; Walt says This is America; the song is erroneously considered a song about drug escapism; the song describes a man traveling for days through a desert, which describes Walt's current loneliness IFT: Skylar's bombshell line at the end of the episode about how she literally f'cked Ted;

Juan Bolsa sees the hitman that kills him Kafkaesque: A grotesque vision of the world where guilty individuals futilely search for salvation; mentioned during Jesse's meeting as something to describe his current situation Fly: Walt and Jesse spend the episode trying to kill a fly. Abiquiu: Georgia O'Keefe, the artist of the painting Jesse and Jane look at, is from this New Mexican city. Stay tuned for Part 2.

epic

Thanks for your tierlist !!! Nothing like the idea of rewatching Better Call Saul in full after following it from season 1 to 3... then watching the last seasoins in a run when they finally released the previous to last. **spoilers ********** ***spoilers****NOW though I forever hate Heisenberg. **** spoilers**** He kills Mike, so F*** him. Can'T stand him. The best man in that show, and he offs him like an animal. Die Waltheisenberg, sufffer. AMAZING work by Cranston!!! I love him so much, what a guy!!

I prefer better watch tv

17:11 twin peaks

Say my name is the worst episode title in any show ever just because it replaced Everybody Wins

we are not watching

no fucking way you put kafkaesque above i see you

Im pretty sure FeLiNa is supposed to mean "Blood, Sweat and Tears"

HEY

Really hard to sit through

You're missing quite a lot of double meanings, e.g. "Sunset" being a callback to when Tuco told Walt and Jesse his cousins are going to arrive at sunset in "Grilled".

My fav is IFT and felina
