Bob Odenkirk's Jimmy McGill is having an awful week and reaches his breaking point when he gets one more piece of bad news.  (Episode 3.7, "Expenses")
This is amazing on a few levels.  Odenkirk spent most of his career in sketch comedy and is able to pull off a scene like this.  Really intense crying, and multi-layered.  
The scene itself is being debated on the internet as to the genuineness of his breakdown.  He does indeed take advantage of the situation partway through as he discovers a way to exact some revenge on the brother who is largely responsible for his woes.  BUT... it starts out genuine.  This is how I read the scene and the performance, and the writer confirms he wrote it that way and Odenkirk says that's how he played it.  It beautifully captures those times when everything is going wrong and one more little thing will just make you burst into tears.  Pretty heartbreaking, and major kudos to Odenkirk.
