The 'Greatest Legal Mind I Ever Knew' meme originates from a poignant scene in the AMC series Better Call Saul, where Howard Hamlin pays tribute to his late partner, Chuck McGill. While originally a serious and emotional moment, the internet transformed the quote into a versatile ironic template. It is frequently used in the Better Call Saul shitposting community to mock characters, highlight absurdly incompetent behavior, or simply as a reaction to unexpected legal twists. The meme often features Howard's face or a screenshot from the eulogy scene, becoming a staple for fans of the 'Gilliverse' who enjoy subverting the show's dramatic tension with dry humor.
