# Yeah Science, Bitch "Yeah Science, Bitch" is a catchphrase and reaction image of Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad, pulled from a Season 1 scene where Walter White explains an alternate meth-cooking method. After airing in March 2008, Redditors turned the still into an image macro in 2012, and it became the internet's go-to way to cheer on practical science. ## Origin The quote comes from Breaking Bad Season 1, Episode 7, "A No-Rough-Stuff-Type Deal," which aired on AMC on March 9, 2008[1]. In the scene, Walter White tells Pinkman he figured out how to cook meth without pseudoephedrine, and Pinkman erupts with "Yeah Mr. White! Yeah science!"[7] The scene itself did not use the word "bitch" in that specific line, that got stapled on later by meme-makers riffing on Pinkman's broader catchphrase vocabulary[2]. The image macro version was posted on July 28, 2012 by Redditor Pass-A-Fist to r/AdviceAnimals, framed as a reaction to the Bill Nye AMA happening on the site at the time[2]. The post pulled over 12,700 upvotes and 230 comments before being archived, and the "Yeah / Science bitch" two-pane layout stuck as the default[2]. - **Platform:** Breaking Bad (TV) / Reddit (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown (earliest known macro posted by Redditor Pass-A-Fist) - **Date:** 2008 ## Overview "Yeah Science, Bitch" is a two-word victory shout lifted from Jesse Pinkman, Aaron Paul's meth-cooking sidekick on AMC's Breaking Bad[1]. Online, people drop it whenever a research finding, lab result, or clever hack lands in their feed, treating Pinkman's wide-eyed excitement as the correct emotional response to actual knowledge working[2]. The format is almost always the same: a two-pane image macro with the setup on top and a screencap of Pinkman mid-shout underneath, with the text "Yeah / Science bitch" split across the two frames[2]. Variants swap the setup for news snippets, textbook facts, or absurd study results, which is how posts about things like Great Wall of China visibility jokes or odd health findings keep landing on r/funny[3][4]. The line fits into a longer pre-Pinkman tradition of "science works, bitches" humor that includes xkcd's 2006 comic "Science" and the WearScience apparel brand launched in 2007[5][6]. ## How to Use The typical format pairs any post about a scientific discovery, study, or clever lab trick with the Pinkman screencap, splitting the words "Yeah" and "Science bitch" across a two-pane image[2]. Common conventions include using it in reply to r/science or r/todayilearned posts, pairing it with news clips about offbeat research, or just dropping "yeah science, bitch" in a comment with no image at all when a technical fix works[4]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Yeah Science, Bitch?
