We’ve posted entries on the science behind the show. We’ve alerted you to the top ten weirdest meth lab locations, possibly in your hometown. We’ve shown you how to make your own (totally fake) blue crystal meth. We’ve even posted on other fans’ blog posts.

But there’s one side of “Breaking Bad” we haven’t yet covered. The funny side. Luckily, there are professional funny people to do that for us. And, thanks to the quip corralling pen that is Twitter, we have all of their thoughts in one place.

Here’s what some of the funniest minds in comedy are saying about “Breaking Bad.”
