Top 10 Most Meme'd "Breaking Bad" Moments

He is the danger. AMC

Breaking Bad debuted 10 years ago and fans are still going crazy over the drama that is arguably the most well-done antihero show in TV history. In honor of the show's reunion panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2018, TV Time has put together a list of the Top 10 most meme'd moments.

From Heisenberg's birth to Walter's death, here are the moments that TV Time users just can't stop obsessing about.

10. Season 1, Episode 6: "Crazy Handful of Nothin'"

In the move that really set Walt (Bryan Cranston) down his dark path, he shaves his head and arranges a meeting with drug kingpin Tuco (Raymond Cruz) under the name "Heisenberg." There he threatens to blow Tuco to smithereens with his bag of fulminated mercury unless Tuco agrees to pay him and Jesse (Aaron Paul) $70,000 a week to produce meth.

9. Season 5, Episode 16: "Felina"

In the series finale, Walt begs Jesse to shoot him, but Jesse won't let Walt go out that easily — and he wants Walt to admit that he did all of this because it made him feel alive.

8. Season 4, Episode 13: "Face Off"

After killing Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), Skyler (Anna Gunn) asks Walt if he caused the explosion she heard about on the news. He replies that he "won."

7. Season 3, Episode 12: "Half Measures"

When Jesse goes after some gang members for killing his girlfriend's younger brother, Walt must ride to the rescue — literally, he runs over the drug dealers with his car. One of them survives the car accident, so Walt shoots him in the head and tells Jesse to run.

6. Season 3, Episode 13: "Full Measure"

In order to make their meth manufacturing operation indispensable to Gus, Walt knows he must kill Gale (David Costabile), the man being groomed as his replacement. But Walt gets waylaid by Gus' men and asks Jesse to do it to protect them both. A tearful Jesse shows up at Gale's apartment and shoots the man dead.

5. Season 5, Episode 8: "Gliding Over All"

Hank (Dean Norris) randomly picks up a copy of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass in Walter White's bathroom — and the handwritten dedication from Gale lets Hank finally put it together that Walter White = Heisenberg the drug dealer.

4. Season 4, Episode 13: "Face Off"

After his final showdown with Walt, an emotional Jesse flees the bloodbath in Todd's (Jesse Plemons) El Camino, crying and screaming with joy and disbelief at the fact that he made it out of this entire ordeal alive.

3. Season 4, Episode 13: "Face Off"

In the waning moments of this episode, we find out just how low Walt will go to keep his drug business intact — he poisoned Jesse's girlfriend's son and made Jesse think Gus did it so that Jesse would think killing Gus was the only way out. The shot of the flowers is what clues the viewers in that it was Walt, not Gus, who poisoned Brock (Ian Posada).

2. Season 5, Episode 16: "Felina"

In the series finale, Walt frees Jesse from a gang that is forcing him to make meth for them and is mortally wounded in the process. He uses his final moments on earth to lovingly and nostalgically survey his lab equipment before he goes quietly into that good night.

1. Season 4, Episode 13: "Face Off"

Breaking Bad had a lot of good moments, but perhaps the most shocking and delightful was when Gus Fring finally got his in the form of a bomb planted under the wheelchair of a rival drug kingpin whom Gus liked to visit in order to taunt. Looks like Hector (Mark Margolis) and Walt have the last laugh. The bomb blows Gus' "face off," hence the episode title.
