Norm MacDonald Tells You How Breaking Bad Really Ended
Ex-Saturday Night Live-er Norm MacDonald has a theory about the ending of Breaking Bad. Indeed, it's not to much a theory, he's convinced it's the only explanation. He's not alone, Emily Baussman in the New Yorker espouses a similar theory. But Norm is committed!
Obviously, there are spoilers going in. But, online, this is becoming another Death Of Joker In The Killing Joke moment.
One thing seems clear.He never made it out of that car in the snow, surrounded by police. That's where he died, his final prayer unanswered.

He died in his car surrounded by police.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 2, 2013
He's the most wanted man there is, but he eats at a diner and chats with a waitress and appears wherever he wants.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 2, 2013
@normmacdonald so wait…. What about when he's at Skyler's? Never happened?
— E-No (@comfortintruth) October 2, 2013
What do you think? The police are seen surrounding the place and he suddenly appears, then walks out, both unnoticed.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 2, 2013
@normmacdonald the walt/skyler scene is shot like they werent even in the same room. Thought it was a scheduling conflict issue but now Idk
— owen (@owen_mas) October 2, 2013
It's shot like he's a ghost. And then he says "I WAS alive."
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 2, 2013
@normmacdonald At the Schwartz's he becomes Mike. His voice, the way he closes the double door, his quip about a bigger knife. #fantasy
— Dan Rice (@drice1126) October 2, 2013
Yes, I was going to say that. Excellent point.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 2, 2013
@normmacdonald so when he gets shot by the homemade "trunk gun" it's actually the cops in NH?
— … .. …. .. . … (@Rowdyyates1) October 2, 2013
He's never shot. He succumbs to his disease, reclining in his car seat, as the police approach, guns drawn.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 2, 2013
@normmacdonald I like this idea, but surely his fantasy at the end would be to have his family back?
— Dan Wizard (@danwishart) October 2, 2013
He doesn't possess this imagination. His fantasy is what he intended to do.But we know Walter White never pulls anything off without a hitch
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 2, 2013
@normmacdonald unreal like unlikely or unreal like amazing/
— bigmoneytony (@bigmoneytony) October 2, 2013
Unreal, like unnatural dialogue and acting, like the finale was written by Walter White.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 2, 2013
@normmacdonald or does Walt's fantasy start when Robert forester injects him with the so called "medicine"and he slips into delusion/death
— Leot Hanson (@squirrely11) October 2, 2013
Well, not to be gruesome, but he likely dies of a cancer coma.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 2, 2013
@richdanielson @normmacdonald the remote machine gun is physically impossible to build given recoil and his limited resources.
— Sam H. (@TheChiefWahoo) October 2, 2013
@joe_mess @normmacdonald Walt knows the blue meth is out there, that Todd's a moron, Lydia's relentless, and that Jesse was with them.
— allenstjohn (@avincent52) October 2, 2013
And the gun kills everyone and somehow everyone is there. This tells us it is the fantasy of a sick, dying man.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 2, 2013
The dialogue was written by a sick man abut to die. "You wearing a wig?" "No" " Oh, it looks like you're wearing a wig."
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 2, 2013
This scene was a childlike fantasy with grade-school acting and Walt saying a confusing mix of two famous movie lines. He's slipping away.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 2, 2013
The important thing to remember about the song El Paso was that the guy singing it was DEAD.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 2, 2013
@joe_mess @normmacdonald @clintonreeve_ did u watch talking bad after? Vince said it was not a dream specifically
— Logan Cork (@WeaponX14) October 2, 2013
Never trust the writer, Logan. He said what he had to say in the series.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 2, 2013
Sean, you must never trust what an author says about his work. What he has to say is all in the work. If he had more, he would include it.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 3, 2013
@normmacdonald Wait a minute. There's no way a car that old has a remote-controlled trunk… You're on to something.
— Jeremy Martin (@JMartin_JD) October 2, 2013
@normmacdonald The picture he looks at in Elliot and Gretchen's house is a picture of him and Gretchen they wouldn't have that in the house
— rory (@rorysheldon) October 3, 2013
The Nazis that visited Skylarr was a flash forward of Walt's fever dream. Evidence: ridiculously masked and immune to guarded house.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 3, 2013
Seeing it through the lens of it being created by Walter's dying, decaying mind makes it perfect. Great job, Vince, Greatest series ever.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 3, 2013
My favorite scene was the one where Walt imagines his wife to love him again and to touch Holly as a tear comes to her eye. Only Walt.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 3, 2013
Yes, that is true. As soon as the keys fell magically on his lap, Walt became the storyteller and no longer the subject of the story.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 4, 2013
He is in the car while El Paso, a song written from the perspective of a dead man plays. Later he hums the song as he makes his gun thing.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 4, 2013
People are having trouble with this but a flash forward to a real plan and to a man's delusion are equal. Flash forwards are unreal.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 4, 2013
Absolutely wrong. El ask is a famous song about a man who at the end of his life hallucinates. C'mon, people. Give your heads a shake.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 4, 2013
Jesse's woodwork flashback is the only time Gilligan steps aside from Walt's fevered dream to go to a brilliant piece of involution.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 4, 2013
To give the audience a giant clue, Gilligan shows a soft focus scene of Jesse and his wooden box followed by the gothic horror of his life.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 4, 2013
This provides us the idea of where a man's mind can take him when trapped in the inescapable life he has created for himself.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 4, 2013
And so the Jesse flashback scene, which so many think expels the idea of a dying man's fantasy actually mirrors it.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 4, 2013
The reason the horror of Jesse's life is show is he is the only other evil one that is a major character.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 4, 2013
I may be totally wrong about the BB finale, but there has never been a question but that the ending to that song is an hallucination. never.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 4, 2013
God bless Vince Gilligan for giving us al such a fantastically entertaining TV show. Thank you.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 4, 2013
Imagine all the Godawful shows trying to be the next Breaking Bad we'll have to endure.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 4, 2013
Oh, what a superb observation, Rory.
