Yeah, Paige would later tell Kim (after she got their hearing moved earlier than six weeks) that Chuck was a jerk arguing about the address and making that response.

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.

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

​@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.

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.

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.

Chuck did retire. He’s living in Belize now.

I just hope he doesn't get all burned up about it

@@timovangalen1589you win with this comment

He was gaslit into retirement!

thats how i am at my warehouse. even if it was my employees faults, i take the heat - re-train, and next time its their mf ass

At the end of the day, Howard was introduced as a dick, but his crime was being too nice. Too willing to go above and beyond to humor Chuck's wishes and his personal vendetta against Jimmy.

​@spdewertton Yeah could've easily refused to make himself look like the enemy to Jimmy for years. Not saying he deserved what happened to him but he could've save himself the hassle on not helping chuck manipulate Jimmy for years.

@@Guyvermectinsaid your power bottom

He issssss, he didn't deserve what happened to him, it just solidifies how low Jimmmy and Kim would go for the con. Howard is truly the good guy in the show, albeit a bit uptight at times.

@@manuelito1233 sadly he's aiding Chuck dirty games so he's deserverd

So, why does he put Kim in doc review every time she makes a mistake?

@@pliniojr95 Because Chuck said so

The show made such a good job of making we hate Howard right until his death, it was only when Lalo shot him for being at the wrong place at the wrong time that the audience realized "wait, he didn't deserve ANYTHING that happened to him, he was actually a pretty stand-up guy"

I wouldn't even stop there, I'd say it's out of character of Chuck to not double check and make sure everything is correct, especially for a client this big. He was so humble and attentive in the first season, but maybe his pride and ego was starting to get to him. Maybe he didn't think it was worth the effort. Bravo Gould...

I heard they don't really teach you about the history of the law in those online courses. Must be where chuck got his law degree from.

Everybody makes mistakes. Just move on with your life.

Jimmy set up him idiot chuck was innocent

@@snowarmth What? This is exactly in character for Chuck. Chuck would never need to double check something so trivial as a number because Chuck in his mind does not make mistakes. In all honesty, he is better at law than anyone in the show. He is like the Superman of the legal system so he simply would never make a mistake. Which is the truth, he did not make a mistake and he knows it. That's why he instantly knows it was Jimmy

It's not really astounding and there was no mistake to admit to. It's not even hubris in this instance. Jimmy hardcore fucked him.

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.

He couldn't find a way to properly blame Jimmy without sounding crazy to everyone else

@@BravoDoxwell written comment but “he died from gas light” is making me laugh so hard rn

It's not hubris if he's right. He was being gaslight in the worst of ways.

I like how the Commisioner says it back in the end. "Maybe next time, double check."

@@DaScorpionStingOh me too!! I love it!

Chuck's main attribute is also his main flaw: he's a genius and he knows it. He's arrogant and condescending because he thinks he's smarter than everyone around him and he usually is.

@@Mister_Belvidere We never actually seen him being a genius tho. Nor have we seen him being smarter than anyone. Quite the opposite, usually.

​@@occamschainsaw3450 Chuck's knowledge of the law is potentially matched only by Jimmy. Howard is a great salesman but a middling lawyer. Kim isn't stupid, but she needs to work and grind far more than Chuck (understandable, given his years of experience). He manages to snatch the client from Kim by demonstrating his superior expertise in finance and banking law, he lost them with his condescending arrogance.

Was just being kind when putting it that way.

He wasn’t being cold, he wasted their time.

Well, it was well deserved when Chuck basically tells him he is wrong and to double-check again initially... he just used the same condescending comment back to chuck

@@jameslisle7775 Ice cold can refer to being dead serious and unapologetic as well.

Nobody move! Evidence has been tampered with!

he defecated through a sunroof!

well kim foght her guts out to get masa verda, if chuck was a good guy he would have let kim have it since she got them so serves chuck right, and karma is a bitch

@@stridertherangerwoof Do you really think Chuck would’ve let Kim have Mesa Verde? Kim and Jesse have so many parallels. Jesse at one point tried to get Gus to buy his product by using Walt as a reference. Walt, like Chuck, was insulted by his mentee wanting to get a meet with his new boss.

He defecated through a SUNROOF!

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. It's his vengeful lashing out that is the big deal.

But not really...

One thing has nothing to do with the other.

It clearly does, as this is an extremely lazy mistake to make. I mean he clearly has no idea what the correct address is. Definitely something that a guy who has severe mental acuity problems triggered by electricity should not be handling alone at all given the complexity of the case.

@@pugachevskobra5636 "extremely lazy mistake". Guy that didn't watch the show???

Michael McKean is the best.

He's one of the best all around performers in the world, imo. Top notch dramatic acting, comedic acting (Spinal Tap, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind), and a talented multi-genre musician.

Lenny from "Laverne and Shirley"

And he drugged Howard

@@DaScorpionSting Yeah but it wasn’t anything harmful. Just felt like a strong cup of coffee and made his pupils dilated. I get your point tho

@@chill3282 The "wasn't anything harmful" drug ended his career basically. If anyone drugs me with the intent to destroy my career, I would consider serious retaliation.

And Howard had the same reaction to blame Jimmy for everything even though he couldn't prove it.

@@chill3282 Bro he dosed him with stimulants what the fuck are you talking about If youre referencing a drug dealing vet saying "how well it works is based on his tolerance to coffee" I think you need to get your brain checked

And then he adds, “Maybe next time double check.”

The entirety of Breaking Bad turned on Hank discovering something minor while taking a dump. It's all mundane. That's why paying attention is so important. You nailed it -- these scenes are what make both shows so good.

My favorite part of better call saul, its how it made the most simple conflicts in something big. This scene its just a number switch but it feels way more than that

I wish Jimmy brought that up. It would've been awesome to see Chuck to go silent on that point.

​@@luliu4572it was impossible for Chuck to be silent himself until he kicked over that Coleman lantern.

@@luliu4572 That and the fact he complains about being left delirious and alone, ignoring the fact that the last time Jimmy stayed the night to make sure Chuck was okay he just laughed at him for being late for work. That and the fact that his whole argument hinges on the fact that he *wasn't* delirious. Guess he's fine calling himself crazy so long as it makes Jimmy look bad.

Both jimmy and chuck can be assholes but fuck me chuck is easier to dislike.

As someone that has worked with very big people in the military, and made mistakes like this in front of other people like this, you can feel the anger through their clothes. Even if they don't raise their voice. But when they do, it gets scary.

😂😂😂

clearly jimmy orchestrated the lack of awards.

⁠@@scottmatheson3346And those Emmies! Are you telling me that a great actor just happens to not get rewarded like that? No, he orchestrated it, Jimmy!

It’s a tragic irony that Chuck was essentially a father figure/Best friend and yet fell victim to the toxic lawyer business. Chuck brought his destruction on himself. Howard while he did try to redeem himself ultimately fell due to his determination on keeping his fathers legacy alive.

@@masterzombie161 What? No lol. His downfall was siding with Chuck too often which made Jimmy hate him that much more. Not to mention the fact Chuck respected Howard which is the one thing Jimmy always wanted. Howard did nothing wrong dude.

@@chill3282 bro what you said coincides what I said. Howard chose to side with chuck because his father and Chuck were best friends, when his father died he turned to chuck and he became sort of a father figure/best friend to him. Also he knew if Chuck were to leave or sue like he did he knew his firm, his father’s legacy would be in jeopardy. So yea you tried to disagree with me but you sort of just elaborated on what I said. Howard did not deserve to die, but he wasn’t entirely innocent and had selfish reasons on siding with chuck and punishing Kim, and it was for HHM, his father’s legacy.

@@chill3282in actuality, Chuck never respected Howard. When Howard tries to make Chuck retire, Chuck tells him “I tutored you for the Bar exam.” Howard will always be Hamlin’s kid to Chuck.

*"He defecated through a sunroof."*

Well he took advantage of Chuck's mental illness and with Howard he drugged him which helped make him look more crazy.

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

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.

as unpleasant Chuck may have seem, he's not a bad guy in the show. Especially compared to Saul.

He is the one who made slippin jimmy come back​@@surfingtothestars

@@rmcphail2007What exactly did Howard do to deserve everything that happened to him?

@@rmcphail2007the worst thing Howard ever did was try to remain loyal to one of his oldest and closest friends, of course he was loyal to a fault but that is just his nature as a good person.

@@mcgfn put kim in the dog house for something jimmy did, and when she got a big client he kept her in the doghouse. and stole "HER" client when he got a chance

Try Goliath. You'd like it.

It’s such a good touch

Legit

I think it is very obvious by the later seasons, that Jimmy was always like this. Chuck was in now way a good brother, but Jimmy always did what he wanted, not taking into account about how others would suffer the consequences. This started all with the conman who visited his father's store.

​@eimran1178 That also applies to Chuck. His arrogance led to his downfall especially with the insurance situation Howard knew he had to force Chuck out because he doesn't think about other people that get harm by his actions and only thinks about his own benefit.

*Baby Blue starts playing*

Hilarious…I’ve never heard that before 👏 Seriously..make your own jokes/opinions and stop recycling trash. You’re literally creating the end of the movie Wall-E

@@StopSayingGaslit He defecated through a sunroof!!!

The flaw was in the filing not the law. People are busy and cant stop moving because others dont double check their work.

@@santed.4109implying the law in this country is not inherently flawed LMAO

I agree. For instance. Hank should've opened the RV when he had the chance.

@@santed.4109 You’re right. The Law is absolutely perfect in every way. Our justice system is completely fair. Hey, are you in the market for a bridge? I would gladly sell you one

@@mcgfn He didn't imply that at all, actually. Funny how bad people are at actually reading.

That's where I know him from! Thank you for clearing that up.

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

​@@lightningstrike885r/youmissedthejoke

@@lightningstrike885 It's still his mistake because as named partner he's responsible for making sure mistakes like that can't happen. Establishing source of truth on facts on projects like that is pretty trivial to set up. Instead of having that central source of truth that's immutable and quick to check using a computer, his insistence on avoiding electricity is what allowed Jimmy to make the change in the first place.

Yeah, either someone conspired to trick you or you're losing your mind entirely

​@@professionalmemeenthusiast2117Chuck is losing his mind, he's suffering from a delusion that's severely impacting his ability to function and lead a normal day to day life. He should be receiving psychiatric care and not being indulged and allowed to work with major clients.

Its so perfect that no one has anything to say

@@TheLizardSK i would like some context tho, since i have not watched to show, is this error done by purpose or was it a mistake?

​@@Snyder9e His brother Slippin Jimmy stole the documents and forged copies with the wrong address before giving them back to Chuck in an effort to embarrass him and delay his efforts, which is what you see unfold here

@@Snyder9e Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad are both top tier shows, would recommend giving them a watch.

No, the lawyer knows always better.

This is why you'd always have someone else double check, but Chuck probably didnt think he'd need it.

2:50 in fact you can hear the mechanical buzzing in the room grow in volume when he says that

That’s the evil genius of Saul Goodman. Hatches these ridiculously convoluted ass schemes where he has Full plausible deniability while making a complete ass of whoever his target is. And there’s nothing they can do about it
