14 DAY TRIAL // AMC’s “Breaking Bad” has spanned many iconic scenes and catchphrases, the pizza-throwing outburst being one of the former: the moment when Walter White (Bryan Cranston) saw his attempts at getting back with his wife denied, and he threw the pizza he had brought over as an olive branch onto the roof of what was once their house.
Cranston managed to get the pizza there in one take, and apparently many fans are trying to do the same, even though shooting for the series wrapped many months ago.
According to series creator Vince Gilligan, in a podcast (second video below) on “Breaking Bad” sequel “Better Caul Saul,” people driving by the Albuquerque house that stood in for the Walter residence still do that to this day.
And he wants them to stop with the foolery, because the couple who actually own the house are nice people and they don’t need this kind of mess in their life. There’s no Walter White to come over the next day to clean up after them.
“It’s just not funny. It’s been done before. You are not the first. Please stop,” Gilligan pleads. “Let me tell ya, there is nothing original or funny or cool about throwing a pizza on this lady’s roof. So uncool. Please stop.”
Gilligan doesn’t even consider these people true fans, because they would show more respect towards the house that was featured in the show - and the people living in it in real life.
Jonathan Banks, who played Mike Ehrmantraut on “Breaking Bad” and reprises the role in “Better Caul Saul,” agrees with his boss on this. Moreover, he promises those who continue to throw pizza on the roof he will hunt them down. If you’ve seen at least one episode with Mike, you know what this means.
