[@jonsrecordcollection7172]

The poker game scene makes the nickname "Crazy 8" more ironic. Walter was highly intimidated by the nickname "Crazy 8," but Domingo got that nickname because he was too afraid to win a poker hand against his boss.

[@Big-guy1981]

How can you fold a set on a safe board? That's really crazy.

[@mulanomula]

@@Big-guy1981 It's because he's afraid what Lalo would do if he beat him. He doesn't know how Lalo is here but with his previous experience with the Salamancas, particularly Tuco, he would be smart to stay weary about anything he does. Imagine if Domingo beat Tuco for an extra 200+ dollars, how do you think it ends for Domingo?

[@Colognekickboxer]

​@@mulanomula idk what's worse, making the boss mad by beating him, or seeming like a coward.

[@smolidk7981]

Krazy 8 is a great example of a side character in the breaking bad universe that's extremely well written and has a story as interesting as a main character if you pay attention to all their appearances

[@XxMidnightToker420xX]

Thats what makes this show and the writing so freaking good not only did vince allrdy know how the show was gonna end they made sure to flesh out almost every single character no matter how minor they might have been. I havent finished the video yet but i wonder if krazy 8 after being arrested and snitching on Gus's dead drops i wonder if he snitched on his cousin emilo and got him arrested and almost got jesse arrested also

[@blakematthews6374]

My head canon for Domingo showing up not in uniform after the black eye is that he avoided work so that his dad didn’t see the black eye. He was already stressed leading a double life before then, and when he skipped work, he got into an argument with his dad so he decided to quit and delve deeper into the drug world

[@lancenwokeji6349]

This makes a lot of sense. It’s interesting how dramatic Domingo’s story is despite being a side character. A man living a double life learns to stand up to his father and run his own crew in the drug trade. Then he becomes a DEA informant, probably picks up a few kills and a few fights, then meets Walter and Jesse

[@TheVividKiWi]

Nice theory

[@chuck11duck64]

I love when Lalo sits with the guys at the table, it makes him seem friendly but when we get to know him it actually makes him more terrifying.

[@StepUpMedia039]

Hey shut up when I'm in a hand.

[@RandoManFPV]

He kinda was friendly. like seemingly genuinely friendly, unlike tuko when he tries to be friendly or chill. but can flip that switch at any time. Lalo is a cool character

[@XxMidnightToker420xX]

Lalo was absolutely one of the best villans ever written in any show 👏

[@petermj1098]

I love how Krazy 8 acts like Jesse (soft and amateur) in Better Call Saul and is oppressed by Nacho. And in Breaking Bad he acts like Nacho (tough and professional) and oppresses Jesse.

[@Oneofcorporalemmastwomoms]

Shit rolls downhill as the saying goes

[@Killgore-ip2yq]

Krazy 8 tough guy personality was in response to Nacho, but where Nacho was often the reserved "strong silent type," Krazy 8 was just a shallower intimidation of that.

[@pomernguy1835]

Krazy-8 is a fantastic example of a side character that can be analysed from many different perspectives with enough room for us to speculate when certain events regarding him happened (such as when exactly he stopped working at Tampico). Shoutout to Max Arciniega for being able to perform his role so well! Fun fact: there's a store named "Crazy 8" in Better Call Saul (episode 9 of Season 3) which must be an omage to Krazy-8 himself.

[@TheVividKiWi]

I forgot to mention the crazy 8 store, it's a cool easter egg

[@marshy4770]

I've been watching through all your breaking bad and better call saul videos recently and I just wanted to say that your videos are so amazing, and the amount of time and effort you put into them is great! All of the videos have a lot of research put into them and they are all super well made.

[@bizcut]

41:13 I'd imagine Emilio cooks the majority of the product, while Krazy-8 funds and manages the operation and people. Jesse seems to be the most adept at procurement, had relationships with smurfs who obtain psuedo, and I guess pushes whatever Emilio cooks. I've been trying to see if there's a ball park of how much product or money they found on Emilio when he was busted but haven't been so lucky. Getting caught cooking meth and released kind of implies either Krazy 8 or Emilio had enough funds to pay what was likely a substantial bail amount on that serious of a charge. If they're pushing 1 or 2 lbs of meth a month, that's a decent amount of money split between a small crew and to operate in a small area or network. Considering Jesse never had to pay rent or had any real expenses at that time, he was probably blowing his money on partying, upgrading his car, paying web hosting fees, etc...not saving any of it.

[@RoyalFusilier]

I was really happy to see this in my feed, Krazy-8 has always been a personal sleeper favorite thanks to those first Breaking Bad episodes. What a way to start off the show immediately in a way that hooked me (and apparently nearly everyone). I was happy when they expanded on him in Better Call Saul, which gives those scenes with Walt even more meaning, the way Rogue One was already a good film on its own, but as more is added to the 'Andorverse', the end of his story grows ever more meaningful.

[@HeisenbergTheFirst]

Fun fact: Krazy was supposed to die the same time Emilio did, however the cast and crew loved his actor so much and was such a nice guy that they asked Vince if his character could stay on the show for a bit longer.

[@nstar6412]

[@ShahAznable]

39:53 there's also possible that salamanca purged or disowned Nacho associates. Because when Nacho died the Salamancas was told that he work for Alvarez for years. That might include Nachos associates

[@weirdguy1495]

I would say this is a crazy long video for someone who was only around for 10 episodes, but then again, Tuco was only around for 7 episodes and his is a similar length.

[@BearTrap_R]

The fact that Tuco is in less episodes than Krazy-8, haunts me

[@cartermarrero9431]

@@BearTrap_R tuco is mentioned every other episode and his role is a lot more important though. I also think he has more screen time than crazy eight as well so the number of episodes he’s in really doesn’t matter.

[@mizzypink8]

For some reason I thought you made a video about him already but I’m actually happy to come across from this! While Jimmy and Nacho are my favorite characters out of the whole franchise I have a special appreciation for krazy-8 he’s so underrated and the fact that we know him but we don’t fully know everything about him makes the character even more intriguing to me. It’s even more sad to know how he died after seeing him bcs. I also saw a theory somewhere that Domingo and principal Carmen are related somehow bc they share a last name but ik that’s probably far fetched

One thing I always love about both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is its use of side characters. They never feel like extras and props for the main characters. They feel like people who have their own stories that happens in the background.

When Nacho died, his territory went to Krazy-8. It's crazy to think that if he had lived, we would have met HIM in the breaking bad pilot episode. I wonder how that would have shook out

[@bryanvonstase6755]

I also like Hank using his "lie-detector" on Krazy8 at the interrogation as Gomez is checking Krazy8's papers. Krazy8 makes the same nervous and scared facial expression as he did when Tuco used his "lie-detector" Altho it was short, Krazy8 felt the same fear with Hank when he did with Tuco.

[@doughboy47]

I cant wait to watch this 😭

[@brer.]

If Emilio and Jesse were swapped in roles during yo just thought of this the drug bust as in Emilio escapes Walt could have tracked Emilio down as it is implied that Emilio and Jesse are the Same age and that even if Emilio dropped out in grade ten he would have even briefly attended jp whyn

[@6_dogs]

What I can tell you about the first ever scene with KRAZY-8, I read the screenplay of Pilot & he was originally playing NBA video game on his PS2 instead of training his dog. Also his home was described as a ‘crack house’. If there is an extended version of his first scene as you mentioned I want to watch it.

[@duhdeedee]

One of Walt's idiosyncrasies was adopting a character trait of somebody he killed, though I forgot what he took from Gus and Mike.

[@weirdguy1495]

Here's a list of the keepsakes/idiosyncrasies that Walt inherits from each kill of his. Krazy-8: Cutting crust off of bread The plane crash victims: The teddy bear eye Gale: The Walt Whitman book Gus: His cleanliness, way of addressing coworkers under duress of being bugged, and the grieving pose Mike: The way he drinks and his matter-of-fact way of saying yes for an answer Hank: His specific whiskey order

[@Luke_SkywaIker]

@@weirdguy1495 he also became Jesse’s partner and cook, just like Emilio was. Furthermore he killed Jack with the same gun that the latter used to kill Hank, cutting him off mid-sentence as well.

[@88mphDrBrown]

To answer your question about Walt going to the police instead of killing him or letting him go, it's not an option. Firstly there's almost no chance Krazy 8 would get charged with anything, whereas Walt would definitely get charged with kidnapping and probably murder. The DA would have no real case against Krazy 8. Any evidence or testimony would be from Walt/Jesse, kidnappers who disposed of a body in acid.

Okay, so, not only did Walt grab Krazy 8 in broad daylight without anyone noticing it, but the time of day this happened would be about the time when most people are heading home and out and about. He’s a school teacher who likely works from about 6am to 3pm or roughly about that time. Most people get off work about 3-5pm. Most schools let out about 2-4pm. So the time of day Walt would be driving around a lot of students would be coming home from school and a lot of people coming home from work. It’s kinda odd that no one noticed Krazy 8 and that no one is on the road.
