Best Jimmy Schemes on Better Call Saul, Ranked by Fans
The truly memorable scenes for viewers were the unusual machinations that the show's main characters often used to achieve their goals.
And now the fans have decided to pick out the funniest and most cunning plans of Jimmy McGill.
3. Mesa Verde
When Kim decides to take a chance with Jimmy and start her own law firm with him, she leaves HHM, hoping to take the biggest and most important client with her.
Chuck, however, gets Mesa Verde to stay with his company. Kim's lover Jimmy decides to teach his reckless brother a lesson and changes some numbers in the documents, a mistake that costs Chuck a client. This scheme shows not only Jimmy's attention to detail, but also his ability to manipulate situations to his advantage.
2. The Chicanery
The moment that, despite the tragedy of the situation, was the butt of many jokes and eventually became the main meme of the entire series. The episode with this scheme was the culmination of the conflict between Jimmy and Chuck when they were confronted in court.
The future Saul orchestrates a brilliant plan to expose his brother's true nature. Knowing Chuck's sensitivity to electromagnetic waves, Jimmy discreetly places a battery pack in the elder McGill's suit pocket. As the trial progresses, he cunningly activates the battery, causing Chuck to lose his composure and reveal his condition to the court.
And Jimmy's goal was not to prove his brother mentally incompetent, but to show him his true nature and infuriate him. An enraged Chuck unleashes a storm in the courtroom, demonstrating how he feels about his closest family member.
1. Louisiana Pastor Phone Call
When Huell is accused of assaulting a police officer, Jimmy finds himself in a tight spot. With the possibility of jail time hanging over his head, McGill decides to use his unique brand of legal maneuvering to thwart prosecutor Suzanne Ericksen's plan to overwhelm her with paperwork.
Jimmy sends many letters in defense of Huell on behalf of the Louisiana church, explaining that the criminal is a very religious and kind man. And then Saul and his crew respond to phone calls from the DA's office.
Fans note that Jimmy's Southern accent and background conversation with Suzanne Ericksen, looking at a fake church website supporting Huell, is one of the show's funniest moments.
