About

Walt Jr. Loves Breakfast refers to a recurring trope from the AMC drama series Breaking Bad in which the character Walt Jr., the son of the protagonist Walter White, is oftentimes seen eating breakfast.

Origin

In the show Breaking Bad, the protagonist’s son Walter White Jr. (played by RJ Mitte) is oftentimes seen eating or talking during breakfast, while remaining virtually non-existent in the main plot involving his father's drug business. The first breakfast scene starring Walt. Jr. was featured in the pilot episode (shown below), originally aired on January 20th, 2008.



The earliest known association between Walt Jr. and breakfast scenes was made on October 14th, 2011 in a /tv/ (Television & Film) board discussion thread on 4chan,[5] which requested pictures of Walter Jr. referring to him as “the king of breakfast.”
