Get ready for some serious nostalgia as Bob Odenkirk slips back into his signature suit and tie to revive the one and only Saul Goodman. This fan favourite lawyer, known for his razor-sharp wit and dodgy ethics, is back in a video that's all about celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States – and it's pure gold!
In this short but sweet clip, Saul Goodman takes centre stage, regaling viewers with his trademark charm as he talks up their constitutional rights. He's got a cheeky glint in his eye as he pokes fun at the founding fathers, saying that these "guys in powdered wigs and knee socks" somehow managed to write something that's still remarkably relevant today.
Saul lists off some of the fundamental freedoms we're all supposed to enjoy – speech, assembly, protection against unreasonable searches and seizures... you know, the usual stuff. But what really gets the blood pumping is when he ends with a rallying cry: "Know your rights, and for the love of Mike, don't ever give 'em up!" It's like a shot of adrenaline straight to the heart!
Of course, this wouldn't be an authentic Saul Goodman return without some input from his old mate Mike Ehrmantraut (played by Jonathan Banks). He makes a cameo appearance towards the end, deadpan as ever with that classic line: "I'm Mike, and I approve this message." It's like a badge of honour for fans who've been following the series.
Odenkirk first brought Saul Goodman to life in 'Breaking Bad', and then went on to headline his own spin-off show, 'Better Call Saul', which ran for six seasons before calling it quits in 2022. His portrayal earned him stacks of critical acclaim and award nominations – cementing Goodman's place as one of the most beloved characters in TV history.
The fact that Saul is back for this special anniversary celebration says a lot about his enduring appeal, not to mention Odenkirk's willingness to revisit the role. It's a light-hearted yet poignant reminder of what it's all about: upholding those fundamental principles that have shaped America over the past 250 years.
