Absolute INSANITY... Breaking Bad REACTION "Crawl Space" 4x11 Breakdown + Review // Walt Goes CRAZY

[@markgump1547]

Audience: "It CAN'T get any crazier!" Walt: "Hold my blue crystal."

[@harryw.174]

The visual of walt lying in the basement curled up, cobwebs and the slats of the vent looking like bars, the small pile of cash the only thing keeping him company, its like hes already in his grave, a personal hell all alone. One of my favorite shots in TV.

[@joetamburello6292]

Agree. One he created

[@katherinemartin5664]

He always looks like he’s hanging in a picture frame as it zooms out, I always knew he’d die after this

[@Justinhomii]

No show does tension/panic scenes better than BB. The sound design at the end... that screeching noise... the whole scene is pure, concentrated unnerving anxiety. The dynamic is so remarkable of all the characters clashing at once and Skyler- going from playing peacekeeper for Walt to Marie on the phone. She's like a punching bag getting hit with all of it at once. Walt's laugh makes total sense with the situation he's in. High school chemistry teacher gets cancer, cooks meth then his wife uses the money he made from it and gives it to the man she had an affair with? Many times throughout the show the characters are boxed in in shots by either a door frame or window frame etc. divided by beams or trapped in picture frames. The symbolism in that final shot of Walt laying in the dirt underground- boxed in by the door to the crawl space that he built himself, as if it's saying he’s dug his own grave and he's a dead man walking.

[@isaiahromero9861]

For real. I can't imagine what it would've been like to watch this live on air for the first time and not having the benefit of just watching the next episode, I wouldve been actually stressing about it all week lol it's genuinely such a nightmarish situation

[@Derkosson]

One of the reasons Walt is laughing may be because he sees the dark humour in the situation. He spent most of the series with too much money to be able to do anything with it. Now that he actually can, and in fact needs to, he doesn't have it anymore.

[@-12Sided]

I couldn’t tell you how frightened and breathless I was during the final scene the first time I watched it. The unreal acting performances, the shots, and that horrifically eerie pulsing music in the background. It was one hell of an experience.

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

it was WILD

[@chrisbruneau2156]

"Walt just turned into the joker"--LMFAO!!!!!

[@gandhialwaysleavesanonion679]

This is legit the best reaction to Crawl Space I've personally seen omg

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

wow such a high honor 😅 thanks a ton, we appreciate you so much!

[@OklasoonaHomer]

I'll second that without hesitation.

[@ianburton5053]

Serious, both mouths were open the entire final scene

[@johnny-vu6rl]

it really is 😅

[@tmsongvids7463]

I know, right? I watched many times!

[@DiegoDeschain]

Yeah, that final scene in this episode is easily one of the best moments in the entire BB universe (BB, BCS and El Camino). The insanity of it all, the visual storytelling, the sound design, everything, it's an absolute masterclass.

[@jlilley73]

32:43 I love the way Skyler slowly backs out of the shot here 😂

[@Socragames]

31:58 this is the premium react content right here, from the continuously more layered emotions, the surprise, the tension, and then the moment after the episode ends where both try to deal with the overflow of emotions in their own way, up to an including a fidget spinner. It's magical to watch honestly. Also the good lighting and developed film analysis doesn't hurt either.

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

you're so sweet with your kinds comments ✨ thanks so much for watching, as always

[@briangonigal3974]

Despite how tight this show's writing seems, it turns out there ARE just a few references & character mentions on this show that are never really followed up on, ...until they later turn out to be key plot points & pivotal characters on Better Call Saul. Oh, and one really cool editing moment in this reaction at 26:34: The moment in the dessert when Gus rips the hood off of Walt's head, to show Walt being momentarily blinded by the bright sunshine the show has the screen go to pure white, but you don't actually show that moment of footage in your reaction, instead we just see your faces suddenly lit up by your monitor turning into a solid bright white light just offscreen. Really cool effect, even if it may have been completely accidental.

[@OklasoonaHomer]

Also, that shadow sweeping across the desert floor was pure happenstance, but the film crew happily accepted it and left it in.

[@halo3iskewlyay]

"did Ted just.... die?" "ya know it was really unclear"

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

perfect reference

[@TheRepublican777]

I think Walt is scared Jesse is among those dead bodies in Mexico when Hank told him a bunch of dead bodies cuz something went down with the Cartel he has no idea what happened down there but he can only worry

[@TTM9691]

That was the best reaction ever to this episode! :D From Ted's "trip" to Gus firing him, to the very end, that was hilarious. You guys remains among the very best!

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

haha thank you so much! cheers friend 😊

[@martinlatour9311]

One of the best reaction to this episode I've seen lol Things bout to get crazy

[@ericdc1156]

Yup...best reaction I've seen for this episode for sure and I've seen a lot by now lol. You two are not ready for future episodes lol.

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

[@steves9955]

Season 5 is gonna scar them😂

[@fog10101]

never seen a reaction where they are so hung up on ted dying. lol

[@isaiahromero9861]

I mean, that would be REALLY bad for Walt and Skylar

[@danielrafferty4108]

I don't know what's better your reaction to the crawlspace scene or to Chekov's rug. Takes me back to watching this for the first time. Such a crazy ride 😅

[@Socragames]

1:30 I also think Jesse is in some ways the son Walter didn't have. Though Walt obviously cares about Walt Jr. you can also sense his disappointment, both when he teaches him to drive and when he gives him a drink (and uses him to try and assert his masculinity so embarrassingly). It's not just about what Jesse let's him be. He did genuinely save Jesse from the drug den after Jane's death. With Tuco and Gus similarly, he had plenty of chances to cut Jesse loose, but he always chose to save and protect him, even against his own interests.

[@Zaburino]

For the young ones out there, the night this aired was one of the true beginnings of "Peak TV". A ending sequence like this was one of the big reasons why A-listers and serious actors started really turning to TV to explore very complex characters and choices throughout the 2010s. Also it was insane to think that Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Veep, The Walking Dead, Boardwalk Empire, Girls, and Game of Thrones were all airing on Sunday nights by 2013.

[@-12Sided]

Your faces are pulled straight out of an emoji library during the final scene. And I love it 💀🤣

[@The_Phantasm]

Gus: Now the Salamanca name dies with you. Hector's murdered family: Tuco, Marco and Lionel (the twins), Joaquin...... Paca Paca Paca Paca En Mi Caballo (for a those who know).

[@BrianK_70]

I remember having to pause this on live tv from laughing so hard when Ted tripped. It still gets me.

[@friendiyhub]

As all breaking fans say, this is THE Moment Walt becomes Heisenberg

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

it's an incredible moment 🙌

[@isaiahromero9861]

Yea I know it's a huge meme because of how overused that quote became, but i really do think the ending of crawlspace was the biggest turning point for Walt in the whole show.

[@steves9955]

Walt crawled in the crawl space, and Heisenberg came out

[@Lankyman456]

Dudes, I loveeee your reactions to this show so much, genuinely get so excited every time you post✨ I’ve watched this episode probably like 10 times at this point, but your reaction to that ending had my heart racing like it was the first time ALL OVER again!! Thats really something man🔥

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

so amazing haha. we love that you love are reactions! thanks so much for watching 😊

[@anthonyzarate9807]

Skylar went from IFT (I F....d Ted) to IGTT (I Gave it To Ted), meaning just about all of the money Walt they have. Also Gus trying to kill him & Hank, and maybe Skylar & the kids. That, along with everything else that has happened has to make Walter feel like he has finally hit rock bottom and losing everything (including his sanity) and it is OVER for him.

[@Jamierice139]

The most amazing/intense ending to an episode I’ve ever seen personally.

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

so intense 🤯🤯

[@dsscam]

You two had a spectacular reaction to this episode. Loved it.

[@Violetsareblue092]

The last 10-15 minutes of this episode from the moment Gus says “I will kill your infant daughter” till the end remains to this day one of the most intense things I’ve ever seen so I always enjoy seeing people react to it. I love that Kailyn couldn’t stop laughing just like Walt and Eric couldn’t stop asking about Ted 😂

[@MoManiaTV]

was waiting for this one. I love these last two seasons too much

[@cavaughngrace1488]

Bryan Cranston's performance in the crawl space scene left me completely stunned, frightened and in awe the first time I saw it. There aren't enough words in the english dictionary that could adequately describe the level of astonishing acting in that scene. It's so good it's scary 😯

[@TomJones-wx5on]

This is the appropriate reaction to the best 10 minutes of tv ever made

[@jakandratchet9930]

There’s lots of great villainous laughs out there, but for me, only a few have been as unsettling as Walter completely breaking down in this episode. That’s not even the scariest part, it wasn’t even a laugh of sadism or triumph. It was a genuine breakdown of a man, evil or not, about to potentially lose his family. There’s also another thing, but I won’t say what just yet. There’s lots of great moments in this episode, but honestly, something I only just remembered recently was the simultaneous conversations between Walter and Tyrus, and Jesse and Walt! Even in this episode, Walt did say to Tyrus that if Jesse was gone, like killed, Walt was through with Gus. Just as Walt said in the Season 4 premiere: “You kill me, you have nothing. You kill Jesse, you DON’T have me.” While simultaneously, Jesse says something similar that Walt did to Gus: “If you hurt Mr. White, you and I are going to have a problem.” Even after all that Walt put him through, Jesse still has this loyalty to Walt, because Walt, despite how Walt often treats him, has looked out for him more than even his own parents did. Walt did save Jesse from the two cocksuckers who enslaved, weaponized, and even murdered a child, and Walt did tell Gus in front of Jesse that if Gus killed Jesse, Walt’s done with Gus. Whilst simultaneously, despite Walt’s inexcusably extreme outburst in the bug episode, Walt didn’t actually want that to happen to Jesse. It’s what his whole breakdown in the Salud episode was about. He even said to Tyrus in this episode that if Pinkman (Jesse) wasn’t coming back, neither would Walt. I like how both scenes in the episode happen fairly close to each other, showing that despite their toxic relationship, their mentalities and worries for each other are intertwined, almost as if they are in synch. It’s a detail that I honestly hadn’t noticed myself until recently.

[@joetamburello6292]

Walt is such a horrible person that it was finally released

[@TheRepublican777]

Y'all's reaction in the end is priceless I can't wait for you to see what happens in the next episode

[@d.-_-.b]

"I need my fidget spinner!" 🤣

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

😂😂

[@hermanubis96]

One thing that's not always considered in regards to Walt and Jesse's father-son relationship is the fact that Walter's relation with his biological son, Walter Jr, was never great or what he had always envisioned. In the first season, it's obvious that Hank is more of a father figure to Walt Jr and in the flashback with pregnant Skyler, we hear that Walter originally wanted three kids. We can only assume that due to Walt Jr being born with cerebral palsy, their life became more complicated than what Walter had in mind, which probably led to him settling for a stable high school teaching job instead of being more ambitious. Even though Walter clearly loves Walter Jr, with Jesse it's like he's raising the son he never had.

[@brianfromTX]

I think I just caught something new. I think Walt rested his arm on the bin when weighing it in front of Tyrus to explain the weights that were off when Jesse was skimming. I never caught that and this is technically my 3rd time through the show!

[@isaiahromero9861]

I've watched this show like 5 times and I've never noticed that either. I love the subtle details like that, just makes everything feel more real

[@brianfromTX]

You guys!!! 😂 just wait…this is nothing compared to season 5. THE perfect season of the whole show. I can’t wait to see your reactions to come. Lol

That laugh when Walt becomes hysterical from the stress. “And travellers, now, within that valley, Through the red-litten windows see Vast forms that move fantastically To a discordant melody; While, like a ghastly rapid river, Through the pale door A hideous throng rush out forever, And laugh-but smile no more”-. - Edgar Allan Poe.

[@mst4705]

I think this ending might indeed be my favourite moment out of the show and I had forgotten about it. I was shaking and laughing as I was watching. Felt very much like Eric. There could be also another one down the line that I could have also forgotten.

[@bsjett]

The crawlspace is my favorite moment of the show. There's one other scene this season that comes close. Next season has my favorite emotional moments, but when we're talking sheer tension and the power of performance, it's the last few episodes of this season for me.

[@xn9tj]

i still remember the reaction i had a decade ago to the ending of this episode heart beating like crazy, similar reaction, the nervous laughing, just completely fucking baffled at how intense and brilliant it was SO good

[@nathan43082]

The really sad thing is that you will finish Breaking Bad. Then you will realize that you just watched the best television show that's even been made. You will then get a bit bummed. Then, you'll watch the Breaking Bad movie and the Better Call Saul show to recapture some of that magic.

So true, I wish I had the mind wipe device from men in black and use it to forget the show so I can watch it for the first time again😅

[@suzannesmith4882]

Right? I'm addicted to BB reactions as long as the reactors are good. These guys are pretty good, even though Eric is very annoying at times. But you nailed it by saying reliving it again thru others is magical

[@TacoCat17]

​@@suzannesmith4882 why do you find eric annoying? /curious

[@suzannesmith4882]

@@TacoCat17 omg....seriously? He hasnt annoyed you even a little? He talks thru important scenes about stuff that doesnt even matter one bit! The way he leans way over to look at kayleigh sometimes, especially if shes getting emotional about a scene. And he was obsessed with the ted scene! He must've said a million times "is ted dead???" I actually wanted a commenter to spoil it for him by saying "no! Now shut up!" And so many other quirks he has. His overall reactions to stuff is pretty cool but hes just so damn annoying.

[@TacoCat17]

​@@suzannesmith4882 the only things that annoy me are some of his reactions/responses to Kailyn. sometimes he shuts down her goofy jokes/theories a little bit. but i have no idea what their relationship is like, so it's not my place to judge. imo any reaction-related traits of his are just how he's engaging with the show for the first time! i'm sure that you or i thought some silly things the first time watching, or missed some bits. you and i know the show well now, and we forget that we had no idea what was going to happen our first time. the "is ted dead???" thing actually made me laugh lol. thinking ted died makes huell's line "it was an act of god!" 100x funnier. in my experience you just have to be patient with people new to something you're familiar with, because you would've appreciated that too when you were new to it, and missing stuff just means they'll get the chance to find out a cool thing in the future! ALSO any other traits he has are valid as long as they're not hurting anyone BUT if they are annoying you that's also valid, just means you gotta decide if it's worth it for you to keep watching. sometimes ppl just don't mesh well

[@TacoCat17]

also i really like Kailyn & Eric in particular because of their very visible and audible reactions. they feel really engaged with the show and it makes me happy :3

[@BobTheSkull]

small thing that might have been missed. walt said Gus wont kill him because Jesse wont let him. Gus responded "for now". Walts time was up at some point, as soon as Jesse didnt care anymore Gus was gonna kill him and tie up a loose end. Walt 100% went after gus to protect hank but he was still in danger as well.

[@jakandratchet9930]

That’s only Gus’s word though. Even after this episode, Jesse still vouched for Walt, even telling Gus over the phone that if something final happens to Walt, Jesse and Gus would have a serious problem. Once Gus said that there’d be an appropriate measure/response, he hung up as Jesse was asking what Gus meant by that. That only made Jesse even more concerned/suspicious. It more or less lead Jesse to Saul, who told Jesse about Gus’s threat towards Walt’s family, which left Jesse horrified. If anything, it was only a matter of time before Jesse stood against Gus again to help Walt.

[@BobTheSkull]

god i love the joker moment. Walt having a breakdown while the family goes into panic mode around him. small side note, i was rewatching an old favorite show of mine called Supernatural (huge show i know) and Ted showed up in the first season. i rolled my eyes and had to bear with it. i feel bad for the actor now because i cant see him as anyone but Ted lol.

[@mrtveye6682]

Since you guys are already some episodes ahead you already know by now - but isn't it unbelievable, that this episode is just the overture for an even crazier and more intense season finale?
