Loved this scene.

still one of the best scenes going...

I really enjoyed watching this. You should make a compilation of Omar vs. Marlo

Two of the coolest but scariest bodyguards ever

He wasn't afraid to jail but he was really scared. Eyes don't lie

The best Tv Series I ever watched

Superb show. And Omar was the best of it!

I love in the first scene where Omar is being jeered on and threatened by the crowd, the one white dude is off to the side looking at him like, “Huh, wonder what’s the deal with this guy”

Still cant believe this awesome show never won any major awards or was only nominated two times. What a shame. Breaking bad wasnt around until its final season and the sopranos ended in 2005 or 2006 i believe so the wire had a couple years without those shows to battle against.

This is in the top 10 scenes in television history

Thanks

its a fucked up feeling when you get tossed into a pod and like 30 guys start circling around you, too bad for me I had been locked in the drunk tank fit for four ppl max and had to share that space with 15 other ppl in the hot summer with no shower for a week. yeah.....not a fun day.

He was my favorite TV character of all time. R.I.P

When them cats walked in his cell, that’s the most fear I’ve ever seen Omar show lol

He ripped off too many dope dealers!! lol

Most effective episode of Scared Straight ever!

One of my fav parts

This show was so great.

When TV Omar met the real life Omar aka Donnie Andrews whose exploits were dramatized on the Wire. In the episode where Omar jumped from a 4th floor apartment escaping Snoop and Chris, Donnie jumped from a sixth floor but with less injuries.

@Rusty Shackleford At least someone said it. Omar is a very cartoonish character, it's not realistic at all, even if it's based on a real character. There's no way you limp your way around the hood robbing gangsters and exiting the scene slower than my grandma and you get away with it all the time either.
