A viral TikTok post falsely attributes a quote to fictional character Saul Goodman, claiming he denounced former President Rodrigo Duterte’s arrest.
Goodman, portrayed by Bob Odenkirk, is best known as the criminal lawyer of Walter White, a high school teacher-turned-drug kingpin, in the American television series Breaking Bad and its spin-off Better Call Saul. Despite being a fictional character, the TikTok clip misrepresents him as a real attorney, law professor and international law expert.
To make the quote card appear credible, the graphic uploaded by pro-Duterte page @jen__lee on March 13 features a logo of Fox News channel superimposed over Goodman’s photo. It reads:
The ICC clearly violates international law by arresting Mr. Duterte. Article 12 of UN General Assembly Resolution 69 clearly states that any human excreta should be preserved legally as a coprolite. Hence, this situation makes Mr. Duterte’s case a blatant violation of human rights. With that being said, I am confident that Mr. Duterte will be freed and sent back to the Philippines, provided that a proper oral argument through a satisfying public fellatio is presented before the judges.
However, the quote card was originally intended as satire, having first been uploaded on March 13 in the Filipino meme forum r/2philippines4u on Reddit, according to a Google reverse image search.
Many netizens on TikTok and Facebook believed the quote was real, with some praising Goodman for “defending” Duterte.
