Forced to Watch “Breaking Bad”

(soft music)

Help!

Somebody help me!

Well maybe.

Anybody, oh yeah!

Help!

Are you alright?

We're gonna get you outta there.

A creepy man kidnapped me in his van

and has been holding me hostage for years!

He's been forcing me to watch Breaking Bad!

Where am I?

What month is it?

You've never seen Breaking Bad?

No I never watched it.

Really, it's like the best show of our time,

of all time (laughs).

Everybody has cultural blind spots.

Please you have to help me.

I don't know how much time I have.

He's upstairs with customer service.

There's a problem with his Roku.

You should really stick with the show.

It only gets better, and Bryan Cranston is incredible.

I had a job, a life.

It's just a TV show.

Breaking Bad is more than just a TV show (laughs),

but we do have to get going.

We have brunch plans.

So bye.

I'm jealous.

Wish I could experience it again for the first time.

Oh please.

(dramatic music)

(beeping)

(ringing)

911, what's our emergency?

Hello, I've been held captive for years.

I need somebody to come rescue me.

Ma'am please stay calm.

Do you have any idea where you might be?

No I'm in the basement of a home somewhere,

but I know we can't be too remote

because he uses the WiFi to connect to Netflix.

Netflix, what exactly is going on over there?

Okay, he's been making me watch Breaking Bad with him.

Breaking Bad, I love that show!

What episode are you on?

I can't keep track.

We watch every episode twice,

then he reads me episode recaps.

Then we listen to podcast interviews with Vince Gilligan,

and then come the parody Breaking Bad videos,

so many parody videos.

It's exhausting.

Okay, all that sounds like my ideal Saturday.

Have you seen the fly episode?

Yes, yes, I've seen the fly episode.

I have to drop everything and re-watch this show!

It's so good to have Aaron Paul, back on TV.

I'm so jealous of you.

How are you not a fan?

Well to be honest, I don't appreciate the internet

streaming of Skyler, and I don't think the show

is a safe place for women.

Okay, I gotta go, but not to spoil the show,

there is a theory that Walter White takes

on the characteristics of every person he kills.

The show is so layered.

(beeping)

No, that's just the phone number from the TV show.

I don't remember any numbers from my real life.

Humph, stupid cell phones!

(suspenseful music)

Hey do you need a ride?

So you're going to the Breaking Bad convention too, huh?

Stop the car!
