Better Call Saul is the AMC prequel to Breaking Bad, first aired in 2015, following Jimmy McGill as he transforms into the slippery criminal lawyer Saul Goodman. Its distinctive guitar-led title music quickly became shorthand online for scheming, loopholes and confident rule-bending, spreading through TikTok edits, YouTube memes and reaction videos. Creators still use the short riff because it instantly signals that someone is about to talk their way out of trouble, even for viewers who have never watched a full episode.
