Huell, in the grand scheme of things, was a fairly inconsequential character in Breaking Bad. Sure, he had his moments, but he was largely just there. Post-BB, though, is when his fame has really taken off. He's become the star of countless memes, partially thanks to the image of him lying on Walt's money, but mostly due to the fact he was left waiting in that safe house. And waiting. And waiting.

You get the point.

It's plagued fans for a couple of years now. Did he ever leave? Did he even get off the couch, or is he just sat there in perpetuity, awaiting someone to either come and rescue him from this safe houseprison or die in the process?

Funny or Die did a " target="_blank">spoof video of what happens next to Huell, imagining that he actually ends up moving his wife and kids into the house, and that's the version of events I'm quite happy to believe here. However, according to Vince Gilligan, the DEA would go back for him just a few hours after we last see him, and he'd soon be a free man. Which is way less fun.
