Saul Goodman first appeared in Breaking Bad as a flamboyant criminal lawyer before getting his own prequel series, Better Call Saul, which ran from 2015 to 2022 and followed Jimmy McGill's transformation into Saul. Its opening theme, performed by Little Barrie, uses a short surf guitar riff under distorted title cards. Online, that riff and the phrase better call Saul became shorthand for hiring a shady fixer, and short clips of the theme spread on soundboards and edits for lawyer jokes and entrances.
