Perfect Teeth: The Ultimate Continuity Error

(Moved all content over to my new page, Henchman737. I decided to leave this post up because it was by far the most popular post on this page, and it was a source of encouragement to know I potentially made Vince Gilligan feel bad about this mistake)


For those of you that are fans of the show Breaking Bad(I know I fucking am), you're familiar with the history and habits of Jesse Pinkman: Former meth user, cigarette smoker, and someone who is frequently in situations where hygiene is not a realistic or primary concern.

"I better floss, just in case I get covered in shit and sleep in an RV tonight"

While his character is not prone to smiling, if you watch the show enough you will notice the man has absolutely flawless teeth. Your dentist does not have teeth like Jesse Pinkman's teeth, people who floss everyday and line their teeth with peroxide treatments don't get to smile like that. No gum damage, no tooth decay, not even some god damn yellow tint.

Very rarely will most tv shows or movies even bother to digitally alter teeth to make them look worse, and constantly seeing these downtrodden, under-dog type characters sporting an absolutely perfect set of teeth always pisses me right the fuck off. Especially when I'm supposed to believe that Aaron Paul has been around the block when it comes to using meth and living with the constant hassle of being one of the best cooks the Cartel has access to. I'm not irritated because the man has nice teeth, I'm angry because they don't even mention the fact that not only is his mouth is completely immune to his character's lifestyle, it's the exact opposite of how your teeth and gums should look when you've done some the hard living that Jesse Pinkman's done.

Even if famous people make a living portraying the lifestyles of people much lower on the social ladder, they will always show you their superiority in their smile.

For the record, I will always be a huge Breaking Bad fan, but every time I see Cap'n Cook's teeth I feel the blood vessels in my head resisting the urge to burst.
