'Breaking Bad''s RJ Mitte Makes Father's Day Video for Walter White
by EG
On the face of it, the actions of “Breaking Bad”’s Walter White are neither very funny nor particularly family-friendly, but a new video from Screen Junkies pokes fun at the criminal antics of America’s favorite drug-dealing dad. In the video, RJ Mitte, who played White’s son, Walt Jr., in the series, pays tribute to his fictional father in honor of Father’s Day.
“Most dads tell lame knock-knock jokes,” Mitte explains, “but you, you’re the one who knocks.”
The video throws out one inside joke after another about the lengths to which Walter was willing to go to provide for his family.
“A lot of fathers say they would do anything to provide for their families,” Mitte says, “but you, Walter White, meant anything, be it cook meth, poison a child, or choke a man named Crazy 8 with a bike lock.”
Mitte also recalls how Walter always kept his priorities straight.
“Everything you did was for your children. And also your pride. And a ton of money. But definitely for your children, too.”
You can watch the video below, but note that it includes lots of spoilers about the events of the entire series, and it also contains some graphic imagery.
