FALLON'S BREAKING BAD PARODY

Breaking Bad is one of the most critically acclaimed TV series of the last decade and, honestly, the best TV series I've ever seen (and I could name a bunch of TV series that are also extraordinary such as The Wire, House of Cards, True Detective, Forbrydelsen, The West Wing, Pushing Daisies, Twin Peaks, Mad Men, Six Feet Under). Not only has it received numerous awards and nominations but it is subject to academic research and PhD. theses as well.

If you have already seen it, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, you should really think about doing it at some point in your life. The performance of Bryan Cranston along with the rest of the cast is absolutely brilliant.

I'm writing this post because I've just come across the parody Jimmy Fallon did of Breaking Bad, Joking Bad, and I loved it so I thought you had to see it. Here it is:


If you have already seen the series, you'll be amazed at the way they turned the most important aspects of the show into the concept of joke-dealing. You'll laugh yourselves into stitches.

For more profound reading on Breaking Bad:

Well, for Game of Thrones fans, Jimmy Fallon also has a parody: Game of Desks. Have fun!
