[@masterzombie161]

Any time chuck is questioned or criticized he’ll just say the absolute worst thing. Remember when Jimmy was telling people about his client outreach and Chuck interrupted everyone by questioning Jimmys tactics on how he got those clients. Any time Chuck says anything it makes everything worse just to make himself feel better.

[@josephstalin2606]

Tbf you need to see it from his perspective, imagine spending hours seeing and typing out “1216” as stated on the “original” paper, just to be told it’s 1261. It’s still not a good response but he’s so sure of 1216 bc that’s literally what it was, thanks to Jimmy. People act like he couldn’t admit his mistake but there literally was none bc he was straight up sabotaged and Jimmy covered his tracks well so it makes Chuck look like he can’t take responsibility and blames Jimmy for everything instead

[@DaScorpionSting]

​@josephstalin2606 True but at the same time you still need to act professional otherwise you're gonna make yourself look like a jerk which Paige would bring up later on with Kim including making that response. However, Chuck shouldn't even be practicing because of his mental illness which concerned Howard even here he was watching Chuck have some reaction after the hearing fell apart.

[@Mediados]

Definitely, Chuck may not have made a mistake but just the audactiy to assume that you are incapable of making a mistake is insane. Especially to then shove the fault onto a very high-profile client like Kevin Wachtell.

Unbelievable that such an experienced lawyer as Chuck would make such a schoolboy mistake, he should probably think about retirement.

You know that technically he did not do any mistake. He based his documents on forged ones (by Jimmy) wih 1216 as adress. This was then later swapped again by Jimmy so that there is no evidence. While Chuck is an ass. He did not do a formal mistake there.

[@BravoDox]

To be fair, it wasn't just "a random number he didn't recall but was simply convinced he couldn't make a mistake". It was "a very memorable number for him (the Magna Carta is a cornerstone, perhaps THE cornerstone, of modern law and definitely something Chuck would have strong opinions on) and he remembers it and knows what it was". He knew it was 1216 (one after Magna Carta). It would be like if I tried to convince you that Bryan Cranston wasn't the actor that played Walter White. You'd be like "WTF why are you trying to gaslight me? I don't need to double-check to know that he was". Jimmy had assumed that Chuck would merely chalk this up to clerical error and move on. It never occurred to him that "1216" would be memorable and meaningful for Chuck enough for Chuck to be certain. Gaslighting metaphorically, but also literally, killed Chuck McGill. He literally died from gas light.

Like Howard said, they had paralegals and Howard himself looking over it too that could have caught it. Instead they filed it without catching the discrepancy. It's such a subtle, easy to miss mistake in the literal boxes full of paperwork. Jimmy likely didn't even know it would blow up this badly, he just knew that Chuck's ego and perfectionism would come out when confronted with it, and reveal his flaws as a lawyer to his clients so they might go back to Kim. Whether in court, or as in-fighting at one of the HMM meetings with the client. Just like the battery scene, the thing Chuck's freaking out about isn't as big of a deal as he's making it out to be.

Yeah he saw the address multiple times while typing out the filing, also his way of remembering “one after Magna Carta.”

[@Hysteria98]

Anyone can do this, though. The trick to flexing your memory is to associate words and phrases with something similar to help you remember. We all do it, and as Chuck said it's how he remembered fluidly that the numbers were different than what he saw. It's how he knew he didn't make such a basic mistake. And when your career is lived in paperwork, you HAVE to remember details to the letter. Hence, situations like this.

Although it's a small part in this scene, Kevin Machtell's character is perfect. Here's a man who is running a bank with 26 locations, trying to open two more in New Mexico. He has an entire staff of lawyers, accountants, bookkeepers, advisors...all working for big money to get a job done. Then, he hires HHM with an enormous annual retainer (I'm guessing $200,000 to start) and after spending the money, all of his people, staff, secretaries, advisors and attorneys can't even get a typed form correct. When he backs away from the microphone in anger, I can imagine an actual CEO doing this.

Chuck made a mistake. He was working by lantern lights, squinting over 10-point type for hour after hour. Mistakenly changing 1261 for 1216 would be the most natural thing. And instead of just facing up to it he accuses his brother of plotting agains him...

[@lightningstrike885]

The thing is, this wasn't a "mistake" per se, because Chuck never saw 1261, only 1216. After Jimmy forged the copies or whatever, the only number that Chuck ever read was 1216, never 1261, its not like Chuck typo'd the number in, or was misremembering or something, in his eyes there was technically no mistake, because there was only 1216 - One after Magna Carta. Its also probably how he catched on it was Jimmy instantly

[@nexus5253]

It makes sense that chuck is like this when you remember what his actor said about him. He said the way he played chuck was always with the mindset “chuck always made mother proud, jimmy always made mother laugh”. Chuck was a brilliant mind who won the admiration of his peers and founded a successful law firm that helped a lot of people. At the same time, even he himself said he was boring and more so got revered for what he did than interest for who he was. Jimmy was always so charismatic and lovable to nearly everyone. He won them over with charm, wit, and good humor. He made it seem so seamless to be loved that even criminals in the show liked him for his sly wit. Chuck worked so hard to get where he was while jimmy made it seem effortless. To chuck, being right and being “the admired” one was everything because without his status as a brilliant lawyer he had nothing. The very idea of jimmy being a lawyer, to be able to do almost as much as he could while being the life of the party was everything chuck hated about jimmy and himself.

[@Licensed_To_Chill]

When Chuck confronts Kim and Jimmy about this, that was quite a moment for Kim's character. She knew what Jimmy did, but she also knew that Chuck had originally sabotaged her by convincing Mesa Verde that she couldn't handle their work; and what she said about Chuck and Jimmy was right.
