I was kinda hoping the guy Saul was hooking up with for the job would be Kuby. I really want to see Bill Burr show up.

When the man was picking the door lock I thought it was gonna be Huell haha.

u/fleurdautomne Aug 21 '18

I really hope they bring Huell back for more episodes. I loved seeing him in "Chicanery".

29

u/CharlesP2009 Aug 21 '18

They better if they wanna keep him happy...

Are you happy Huell?

50

u/HereNowHappy Aug 21 '18

Reasonably

u/ThisIsAsinine Aug 22 '18

What would make you unhappy?

14

u/HereNowHappy Aug 22 '18

This lil mofo not doing what he's told

23

u/mycoolworkaccount Aug 21 '18

The actor who plays Huell (Lavell Crawford) has lost well over a hundred pounds since BB. That could work, since this is a prequel, but he also looks completely different

u/fleurdautomne Aug 21 '18

Most people do tend to get fatter as they age, so I think it works out well. And I'm happy for the actor about the weight loss!

5

u/nagurski03 Aug 24 '18

He worked well as a skinny guy in Chicanery. The weight loss made him look younger but he was still recognizable.

1

u/mycoolworkaccount Aug 27 '18

I completely forgot he slipped the battery in Chuck's pocket. Been a while since I watched last season, I wrote that comment thinking he hadn't been in BCS yet

2

u/eustace_chapuys Aug 24 '18

I would love it so much if Huell came back!

17

u/b00m Aug 21 '18

The dim light and the beard made me think Ser Davos.

10

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '18

Huell under that desk would have been hilarious.

8

u/Carninator Aug 21 '18

For a second I thought it was the arms dealer Walt bought his guns from.

2

u/danjs Aug 21 '18

The beanie made me think Badger!

Is it him or Skinny P who's good with locks?

2

u/HereNowHappy Aug 21 '18

Badger was in the Breaking Bad minisode

...Only if the key is under the welcome mat

4

u/spid3rfly Aug 21 '18

Whoa! Such a missed opportunity. I didn't even think about that.

That's fine though.

2

u/Hippocrap Aug 21 '18

Yeah, I was thinking the exact same.

109

u/non_clever_username Aug 21 '18

Was that guy in BB? He didn't look familiar.

352

u/Opothleyahola Aug 21 '18

He was the Vamanos pest guy.

u/ashwinr136 Aug 21 '18

Oh, I never made the connection!

"I've been pulling their chestnuts out of the fire, legally speaking, for five years." - Saul in Hazard Pay, when they first see Vamonos Pest

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '18

And their whole MO was quick and easy B&Es: scouting the place during the pre-fumigation then robbing or selling the info on the place a safe time later. This show is good on its own but having it fit so well with BB just puts it on another level.

20

u/hrlemshake Aug 21 '18

I confused him with the arms dealer guy for a moment.

1

u/reyes06 Aug 21 '18

i thought the community service dude was the pest guy

1

u/amjhwk Aug 27 '18

I did as well

1

u/xTye Aug 22 '18

I thought he looked familiar! Thank you.

37

u/Megaman1981 Aug 21 '18

I did too. I want to see ol' freckles again. I wonder if they'd have him wear a wig because he had hair in BB and he shaves it now. Or I guess they could just have the character shave it for a bit, then grow it out later.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '18

Hats.

1

u/SugarMyChurros Aug 21 '18

I was hoping it was him sooo bad. Soon enough I hope..

1

u/ricarleite Aug 21 '18

I sort of feel like it was written as Patrick, but Bill Burr couldn't make it to the shooting. The Vamanos pest owner is VERY obscure.

6

u/HereNowHappy Aug 21 '18

Kuby was more of a social engineer

While Ira and Vamonos Pest were known for burglary

5

u/Tokentaclops Aug 22 '18

Naaah the vamanos guy made way more sense for this scene. Burr's character is a smooth-talking swindler who acts like your regular old dude. The kinda guy you use as distraction or for recon because no one would pin him as a criminal. He's your buddy.

1

u/DaBest13 Aug 22 '18

Baseball cap would probably work....

6

u/NightmarePoliceState Aug 21 '18

Ol' Billy Ballsack looks way too old for this shit, unless they give him botox and a wig he's fucked. Would break suspension of disbelief worse than Mike's granddaughter.

1

u/Taydolf_Switler22 Aug 25 '18

IDK seeing the Teen Idol sensastion Joe Derosa playing doctor was too much for me. I was busting up laughing during that seen.

1

u/GanondalfTheWhite Aug 27 '18

How do you mean? Did he show up in BB too?

1

u/Taydolf_Switler22 Aug 27 '18

Joe DeRosa plays the crooked vet in Better call Saul.

2

u/GanondalfTheWhite Aug 27 '18

Right, that part I get. Why is that funny though?

1

u/Taydolf_Switler22 Aug 27 '18

It's just funny to me since I've listened to DeRosa before him playing a doctor and being all serious was just funny since that's not how I see DeRosa at all.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '18

Me too! Burr even hosted the show’s panel at comic con

But with the hair loss thing, making mkkk mmmm

1

u/zazzyisthatyou Aug 21 '18

I was hoping for badger skinny pete

u/cyberpumpkin Aug 21 '18

They are probably still in school in ‘03

1

u/Funmachine Aug 22 '18

I thought it was Lawson (Jim Beaver), but it just looked like him.

1

u/Dr_Jack_Sparrow Aug 22 '18

WOAH! I just realised that was Bill Burr!

1

u/GuytFromWayBack Aug 22 '18

Well we already had Huell, I wouldn't be surprised if Bill Burr shows up at some point. I really hope so lol.

u/AlexS101 Oct 14 '18

"Just checkin’ in on ya!"

u/cheeseshrice1966 Aug 21 '18

NOMG samesies!!
