These are the main characters, but if you can think of more characters I have missed, fill in the blanks as to why they lost their position/ job and figure out what is their new job. BE CREATIVE..YOU HAVE CARD BLANC!










Well there's always Community Activism! I hear ACORN is looking for a few good degenerates...
I'd like to re-qualify my last comment, and say that it only applies to following: Drug cartel members, Meth users, Meth makers, people who use Desert Tortoises as Bombs and select Lawyers.
Walter- opens his own car wash.
Skylar- opens a botique featuring talk pillows.
Walt Jr-attends college. Becomes a mathamatician
specializing in whole numbers.
Holly- dies of dyptheria.
Hank- becomes the equipment manager of the Dallas Cowboys.
Gus- opens a computer repair business operated out of his vehicle.
Donald beomes a manager at U-Haul.
Marie- joins with Barbara Bush and does charity work
Vince- dont know what he will do but did hear that the Obama administration has offered him a position to write the new health insurance program.
Skinny Pete is teaching pilates
Badger is still unemployed.
Suppose Badger is still swinging that billboard as he did before when Jessie tried to get a job?? LOL
Hank heads down south, teaches the mountain people to make beer and learns how to make "moonshine". He distributes the brew and creates his own label.
I'm jumping right to the bonus question:
Vince's terrible accident occurs on Emmy Night 2012, until that moment a triumphant evening for "Breaking Bad" and its creator, the show 5th and final season having won an all-time record number of Emmys.
His memory gone, Gilligan sinks into a deep depession, unresponsive to any outside stimuli, until one day Bryan Cranston stops over with a gift - all 5 seasons of "Breaking Bad" on DVD. Cranston makes some popcorn, pops the first DVD into the player, and the two settle in and begin
watching. It's all new to Gilligan, but the characters are so interesting, the acting so compelling, the writing so evocative that he is entranced. After a few episodes, he asks his companion, "Hey, this is great, Byron or whatever your name is. Who comes up with this stuff?"
Cranston is pleased to inform the injured writer that HE, VINCE GILLIGAN, had created "Breaking Bad!"
Vince's entire demeanor changes. He doesn't remember these characters, yet he is re-envigorated by his own creation! Several days later, having watched all 5 "Breaking Bad" seasons on DVD, he begins furiously scribbling on legal pads. His memory may be gone, but his writing skills have remained intact, ready to be awoken by just the right inspiration. And he has found it.
Vince creates an entire alternate universe for "Walt," "Jesse," "Skyler," "Hank"....all the "Breaking Bad" characters. He pens the first several episodes of a proposed new series, with these characters pursuing love and happiness in the bustling metropolis of Manhattan. Beautifully written and starring all the actors the audience has come to know and love on "Breaking Bad," the series is picked up by amc to begin filming immediately.
Named "Gilligan's Island" (No relation to any previous series. Remember, we're in an alternate universe here), the show goes on to be a huge success and win countless Emmys. Vince hires a limo service with an impeccable record for safe driving to ensure that no Emmy Night accidents happen to him ever again.
Oh Rockmama...that was fantastic....what a hoot..would love to hear your version of the rest of the characters too!!! :)))))
Repugnant - OMG, "Skinny Pete is teaching Pilates". Damn and I thought I was twisted, that is brilliant, Roflmao N' shit.
Rockmama - I'm sure that the some of the cast of Breaking Bad reads our postings here and I'm sure that Vince is laughing his ass off after reading what you wrote. You deserve a special Emmy award of your own for that one. I tip my hat to you. :-)
Well we all know that Walt is a genius and that said, I think he would take up "Reproducing" fine works of Art, the Classics, specializing in Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" or maybe Self Portraits. Then again, he could buy a kinko's franchise and "Reproduce" smaller works of Art, starting with representations of Thomas Jefferson on up to Benjamin Franklin.
Okay. R.W.. where are your killer comments on this question???...you should have some pretty stories too!!
Marie becomes a store security guard for shoplifters since she has gone through counseling and has reformed from her klepto days, but still has to check in with her parol officer 3days a week for past crimes.
Walt is now the Gordon Ramsey, Julia Child, and Jamie Oliver cooking class on TV since he is so good with measuring and mixing things in a bowl. He also has a new book out, "How I Learned to Cook, The Hard Way, In a RV."
Hi Linda - I'm listening to Dennis Miller on the westwood one Radio station right now. I like your Challenge here and have left something about Walt's future above. I want to see what some others come up with now.
Thanks for the compliments, Linda555 and R.W. I only got about 3 or 4 hours sleep last night and the resulting altered state seems to have freed up my imagination. That little scenario just sort of sprang full-grown out of my head earlier today. Glad you enjoyed it.
OK, how bout this. Skyler briefly considers exotic dancing, but when she finds out there's more to the job then just dancing, decides that that's not her Cup of Tea. She just about gives up looking for work. She's just finished her double Expresso and Scone at Starbucks and notices a Help Wanted sign in the window.
Saul is the new Pitchman for Billy Mays (who deceased,recently....Truly, may Billy rest in peace), hosts products on QVC and HSN shopping Networks, and has a part time radio show, hosting free legal advice. Has bags and bags of fan mail sent to his own personal dressing rooms.
.".... Always a deal in the making.".....is Saul's famous line.
Love it R.W.!!
I too, thought Skyler should be a "pole-dancer" like Brook Hogan. When she gives advice to an admiring fan during her dance about how he should invest those dollar bills in sound investments, she decides then and there, she is going to work for Gordon Gecko on Wall Street.
Excuse me, but who is Brook Hogan?
Brooke Hogan is Hulk Hogan's daughter that did a pole dance for her father. You know Hulk Hogan..the famous WWF wrestling?
Rockmama..sometimes less sleep brings on a creative mind. The mind can be more creative when it slows down from sleep depravation.
Walt Jr. goes to work at Kinko's with Walt Sr. Junior runs the register and helps customers, while Walt Sr is in the back working his magic on the engraving plates for the new 20's. 50's and 100's. Walt Jr's main function is to help customers and maintain a normal appearance, after all the local DEA (Hanks office) farms out some of there printing work to Walt's franchise.
Okay....enough of my thoughts..would LOVE to hear more from others!
Of course I know who Hulk Hogan is, He is the son of famous Golfer Ben Hogan.
Yeah, me too enough for today.
LOL LOL...a real doosier with that one R.W..... I love it!! !!! Instead of working with Blue..BlueSky..Walt is now working with Green ..Greenbacks.....LOL LOL
He is the son of famous Golfer Ben Hogan
any relation to Col. Hogan ?
Br
.. Ba
Col. Hogan aka Bob Crane. Found dead in Phoenix tied up in some rather Kinky circumstances.
he was bludgeoned to death
some one killed him with a vengeful purpose..
kind of like Walt and Jane ...que no ¿
Of course go into business with Gus for one of his Chicken Pollo place's. Skylar is so there. Writing out schedules, knowing how to work the cash register's and screwing Gus eventually. She afterall met Walt at a restaurant. She was the hostest with the mostest! When she and Walt met as I recall.
R.W. brought a character I had forgotten of, in another thread, "Ken Wins"
I have now come to the conclusion that Walt is now the "Terminator" for all those little jerks acting like "Ken". You remember "Ken"...the little puffed-up irritating little jerk that ticked off Walt waiting in line, and was extremely rude to others around him. Walt takes care of him at a gas station and makes the car blow up.
SO...now Walt is a "Hitman Heisenberg" for those who hire him out as a mercenary to rid the world of all bad mannered "Ken's".
