What Makes Him Entertaining?[]

  • He has numerous comedic moments, including his amusing behavior and deadpan humor, which have spawned many internet memes:
    • Correcting Jimmy about an exact time of 1 hour and 43 minutes during a court trial.
    • Saying he is "reasonably" happy.
    • Resting on Walter White's stockpile of money.
    • Being stuck in the safehouse for supposedly the rest of his life.
  • He is a master pickpocket, which is always useful for underhanded schemes.
  • He slips a battery into Chuck's pocket, proving that his electromagnetic hypersensitivity is not real.
  • Along with Man Mountain, he captures and terrifies a trio of juvenile delinquents into submission for mugging Jimmy.
  • He is confirmed to have been released from the safehouse and moved back to New Orleans as a free man, making him a Karma Houdini.

What Makes Him Detestable?[]

  • Although it can come off as hilarious, sometimes he shows himself to be quite stupid. A good example is when he assaults a man arguing with Jimmy and fails to hear Jimmy's warnings that the man is a police officer because of listening to loud music on his headphones.
  • He showed no remorse for helping Walt poison Brock Cantillo, even if he was initially unaware.
