Bob Odenkirk Slips Back Into Saul Goodman Mode for a Hilarious and Timely New PSA
Fans of the Breaking Bad universe just got a surprise treat. Bob Odenkirk has officially stepped back into the role of Saul Goodman, and it’s like he never left.
While Better Call Saul wrapped up Saul’s story in 2022, Odenkirk recently revived the fast-talking attorney for a brand-new video that celebrates the upcoming 250th birthday of the United States on July 4. The result is a fun and surprisingly heartfelt PSA that perfectly captures everything fans loved about the character.
The video, shared through Saul4Democracy on YouTube, features Saul Goodman talking directly to the public. This time, however, he isn’t pitching legal services. Instead, he’s reminding Americans about their constitutional rights.
In classic Saul fashion, he points out that those rights may be “old-timey and written by a bunch of guys in powdered wigs and knee socks,” a joke that feels especially fitting considering Saul himself probably would have found a way to profit from colonial America.
But beneath the humor is a sincere message as he runs through several constitutional protections and reminds viewers that they remain “still surprisingly relevant.”
Saul goes on to celebrate the freedoms Americans enjoy, explaining that citizens have “rights up the wazoo,” while emphasizing that generations of people fought hard to secure and protect them. The PSA manages to balance Saul’s trademark comedic charm with a genuine appreciation for the rights many people often take for granted.
As fun as it is seeing Odenkirk back in character, he isn’t the only familiar face who returns. Near the end of the video, Saul offers one final piece of advice: “Know your rights, and for the love of Mike, don’t ever give them up.”
That cue opens the door for another fan favorite to make an appearance. Jonathan Banks returns as Mike Ehrmantraut, popping in to give the message his official approval.
It’s a brief moment, but it brings back memories of one of the most entertaining and unexpected partnerships in both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
Watching Odenkirk and Banks slip back into these roles is a reminder of just how memorable these characters remain. Their chemistry is still intact, and both actors look completely at home revisiting the world that helped make them television icons.
With the Fourth of July holiday approaching, the video serves two purposes. It’s a reminder to know your rights, and it’s also a pretty great reminder that revisiting Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is never a bad idea.
