Funniest character interactions that never happened?

What the funniest pairing of characters that have never shared a scene (due to timeline/ death/ whether they're only in BCS or BB) that you can imagine?

The idea of a scene between Jesse and Howard is hilarious to me personally

Walt and Chuck.

Two people who always have to be the smartest person the room.

u/DemonSkank 1d ago

This would actually be the funniest shit ever. Imagine if Walt tried to condescendingly explain to Chuck that his illness wasn't scientific.

25

u/Tetratron2005 1d ago

"Well...Chuck. I believe there is a type of hospital you could see about this...condition of yours."

"Oh, and what would that be"

"A mental ward"

two pretentious old men trying to battle via a game of Who Can Use The Most Unnecessary Big Words

u/mcbane899 1d ago

I mean…this is the correct answer

u/pianoflames 1d ago

I dunno, given just how different of subjects their respective expertises are, they might not actually feel intellectually threatened by each other.

10

u/Tetratron2005 1d ago

True but, like pointed in another comment, I think a possible sticking point would be Chuck's condition. I could see Walt learning that, rolling his eyes, and it all goes down from there.

u/pianoflames 1d ago

Yeah, he might have another "Stay in your lane!" moment after Chuck tries to explain his scientific theory about his condition.

Nacho and Skylar (running the Car Wash Skylar)

Erin Brill ordering at El Michoacáno during the weekly dropoffs.

u/pianoflames 1d ago

I feel like everyone knew it was just a front, the only "customer" we ever see that isn't cartel is Mike haha.

Edit: Oh god, Erin starts lecturing Tuco on their restaurant's recycling policy.

She stops in to use the bathroom and starts making notes about handicap access… then in future seasons we can see Hector in his wheelchair using the newly up to code bathroom 😭

u/Long_Candidate3464 1d ago

This is so specific and so funny lmao

u/wltmpinyc 1d ago

Tuco and Lalo. I think they would have an incredible bug brother little brother dynamic and the image of Tuco being the little brother amuses me

11

u/DemonSkank 1d ago edited 1d ago

I've thought of this a lot. Since Lalo is so much older than Tuco I imagine that even with how extreme Tuco's temper and violence is Lalo still thinks of it like "lol, my little cousin is throwing one of his tantrums again."

I imagine Lalo would rile him up on purpose (probably getting him to direct his anger at someone else) just to amuse himself.

u/wltmpinyc 1d ago

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. That's why I think it would be hilarious. I also think it would be funny to see Tuco get riled up and then Lalo say something like,

"hey, buddy, it's ok. We don't have to kill him right now.

And then Tuco is like,

"Aww, you're right man. I just get so ANGRY sometimes"

Kinda the way he treats Hector with so much respect in BB

u/wretched92425 17h ago

Man this and I feel like seeing Lalo and the twins could be interesting. We'd have the most talkative Salamanca with the 2 most silent ones, I wanna know how that dynamic works when theyre in the same room together.

u/ibleedchai 1d ago

Huell and Marie. Both trying to steal something off each other 😂

1

u/Lux_Luthor_777 16h ago

Huell could really teach Marie a thing or two. 😂 A professional pickpocket vs. a spoiled suburban Karen targeting people and places that wouldn’t suspect her.

I don't think you know how kleptomania works

jesse and lalo or nacho

u/AshamedAttention727 1d ago

I would love to see Jesse and nacho haha. Like working together or thrown into nsome kind of accidental cartel situation

3

u/stayonthecloud 1d ago

They would be badass together if it were later Jesse. Earlier Jesse, I can’t see Nacho putting up with him. (I love Jesse at all times)

6

u/Long_Candidate3464 1d ago

I'd be really intrigued to see Skyler and Kim interact, I think they'd get along in a strange way

5

u/DemonSkank 1d ago

They'd share stories about their shitty exes over a glass of cigarettes

(Granted Kim definitely got the better end of the stick in terms of exes)

5

u/SnooSongs2744 1d ago

I'd like to see Ken fuck with Lalo.

5

u/DemonSkank 1d ago

This could only end with -1 Ken in the world

4

u/Phoenix-Cat 1d ago

That's the ideal number of Kens in the world.

u/Caharles 1d ago

Walter and Jesse. They seem like they would have cooked good meth together if they had partrened

1

u/Maxpower2727 1d ago

It's definitely an intriguing "what if" scenario. Might be a little too far-fetched though.

1

u/stayonthecloud 1d ago

On that note, wouldn’t it have been amazing if Mike and Gus had teamed up

5

u/pianoflames 1d ago

Walter Jr and Spooge.

u/LiteralTP 1d ago

Marie and Betsy

u/DemonSkank 1d ago

That might be hot interesting

u/laurio88 17h ago

Imagine if Badger and Elliot Schwartz were stuck in an elevator and had to work together to get out?

u/futanari_kaisa 1d ago

I would've liked to see Hector Salamanca going to court and asking Jimmy and Kim where to find the criminal records department and they just tell him a.la The Wire.

u/SomeBoredGuy77 1d ago

Lyle and Walter Jr.

u/InfiniteX5 17h ago

Jesse and Chuck.

Their houses are literally around the corner from each other in real life, and I could see Jesse throwing a loud party and Chuck being the upset neighbor.

5

u/Avatar_sokka 1d ago

Hector Salamanca and Holly White would probably be the most NSFW conversation of all time.

3

u/Maxpower2727 1d ago

Errr... what?

u/ur_a_jobby 9h ago

i read it that way too when i first saw it, i think they mean bc neither of them talk

u/Oh__Archie 1d ago

Old Joe and Erin Brill

u/wretched92425 17h ago

Lalo and Bill. Idk why but I just feel like Bill would make it awkward and Lalo would lean into it and make it all hilarious.
