And, perhaps most tellingly, Breaking Bad has taken over Reddit
Many would consider Reddit to be the powerful overlord of the internet, so the fact that it has Breaking-Badded itself to celebrate the return of the series is a strong indicator of the show's web power.

Here's how Breaking Bad took over the internet
BREAKING BAD IS back, but then you already knew that, because it is everywhere.
Never before has a television show taken over the internet in such a way.
From parody videos to Tumblrs to mashups, the show is everywhere on the world wide web, and here’s the proof.
Save Walter White
The website which Walt Jr. sets up to raise money for his father exists in real life.
AMC, the company behind Breaking Bad, set the site up to coincide with the episode.
Fans could donate real life money to The National Cancer Coalition, and as of last October $125,000 had been raised.
We can't help but think Walt Jr could have managed a slightly more attractive site, though. It's a bit 2001, isn't it?
The mash-ups
Countless people have taken to the internet to share the connections they've made between Breaking Bad and other television programmes.
Like Bosco, for example.
