And so Breaking Bad — a TV show that became a cultural mania and, some say, the best TV show ever — is over. It’s last show got massive ratings. It’s fans suffer withdrawal pains. It was used in a host of satires, including an edited scene showing Marie and Hank watch Miley Cyrus “twerking” on MTV in shock. Jimmy Kimmel did a great “Joking Bad” parody piece on it.
But if there was one “given” it was this: Jesse Pinkman, Walter White’s former high school student, partner in drug making crime, and constantly betrayed protege, was THE one fans didn’t want to see killed off in the end. And, in the end, they got this wish.
Comedians and online writers have had a ball with the character of Jesse Pinkman who seemed to always say “bitch.” But how many times? A You Tuber put together this exhaustive compilation of how many times he utters the word. Watch it (and hear the 50 times) for yourself.
