10 Times TV Shows Got Too Real
6. Breaking Bad - Fans P*ss Off Neighbourhood By Constantly Trying To Recreate Walt's Pizza Throw
In a TV show which largely focuses on a dying high school chemistry teacher slowly morphing into a full blown drug lord, and all the 'necessary' killing and betrayal that goes along with that, there's precious few Breaking Bad moments die-hard fans can safely mimic in real life without getting, you know, thrown into a jail cell.
Yet, that doesn't mean there isn't the odd one...
In a particularly iconic scene in the show, a pissed off Walter White decides to fling the pizza he's just bought for his family onto the roof of his garage. The meal lands perfectly on the building, but this moment (which Bryan Cranston nailed in one take) soon led to fans wanting to replicate the series' leading character in real life.
As time went by, many folks attempted to pull off the perfect pizza throw onto the actual roof of the property used as the White's home in BB, something that more than pissed off the owners of said house.
The owner of the home revealed to NPR:
"We’ve had pizzas on our roof. We’ve had pizzas on our driveway; pizzas until we’re sick of looking at pizzas."
This also led to show creator Vince GIlligan condemning those pesky few throwing deep pan projectiles:
"There is nothing original or funny or cool about throwing a pizza on this lady’s roof."
Still, that's better than trying to set up your own meth lab, I guess.
