Most Surprising Breaking Bad Easter Eggs Found in Better Call Saul
Sneaky little details that even eagle-eyed viewers could miss.
Better Call Saul is an amazing prequel of a great show. And of course, the creators didn't forget to sprinkle in some cool Easter eggs as a nod to Breaking Bad.
We've got the juiciest ones right here to share with you.
JPI
After Jesse's house gets wrecked in Breaking Bad, we see the walls all messed up with graffiti. One of those graffiti tags says "JPI."
At first, it doesn't seem like a big deal, just some random letters. But those same letters make a comeback in Better Call Saul, on a pay phone.
It's a secret little Easter egg for the fans. JPI might probably stand for Jesse Pinkman.
Saul Goodman is known for giving sarcastic advice to his clients. In one scene of Breaking Bad, he convinces Walt to do something by telling him a story about pretending to be Kevin Costner to sleep with a woman.
It was just a joke because Bob Odenkirk somewhat looks like Costner.
In season 1 of Better Call Saul, we actually see Jimmy pulling off a similar scheme. In the flashback, Jimmy wakes up to a woman yelling at him for lying about being Kevin Costner.
Heisenberg's wardrobe
We've got one cool Easter Egg in the very first episode of BCS. In the courthouse, you can notice a coat rack, and Heisenberg's iconic hat and tan jacket hanging on it.
Billboard guy
In the first season of BCS, there was this guy who put up the billboard for Jimmy mocking Howard. Surprisingly, this is the same guy who also played a gunman for the cartel in the 13th episode of Breaking Bad – Season 3.
In Breaking Bad, though, he's not that memorable because Mike takes care of him pretty quickly. But you have to give it to the creators, they sure know how to connect the two series with these little details.
Walter's financial plan
In season 6, Gene is busy burgling the house of the man from the bar, and he stumbles upon a bank statement. Turns out, the poor man he's robbing had $737,612 chilling in his bank account.
Now, what's interesting is that the number 737 seems to be no coincidence. It's probably a deliberate nod to Breaking Bad, where Walter White needed exactly $737,000 at the start when he found out he had cancer.
