Jesse is a small-time methamphetamine user, manufacturer, and dealer. In high school, he was an inattentive student in Walter White's chemistry class. Now in his mid-20s, Jesse is Walt's business partner in the meth trade. Jesse is impulsive, hedonistic, and uneducated, but personable and possesses street smarts as well.
Jesse is introduced as an impulsive and hedonistic man, but also personable and possessing street-smarts. He talks in playful slang, frequently using words like "yo" and "bitch", and likes to wear garish clothing that follows the latest trends in youth culture, plays video games, listens to loud music, takes recreational drugs, and driving a car fitted with hydraulics. Jesse's MyShout page lists his general interests as "Fine herbage! Keepin' it real, etc." Jesse often enjoyed hanging out and smoking with his friends, Badger and Skinny Pete, and purchasing items like a giant-screen television for his home or a Roomba vacuum cleaner.
Despite "yo" and "bitch" being the most famous and popular insult of Jesse, it’s worth noting that Jesse almost never uses the word to describe women. It's no surprise that Jesse does quite well for himself with the ladies. The two notable exceptions are when he used the word to describe Skyler White (though not in her presence) and when he called his mother the word to her face.

== Trivia ==
* Jesse is one of only five characters that appears in Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and El Camino, the others being Walter White, Mike Ehrmantraut, Ed Galbraith, and Austin Ramey.
* Jesse was originally scheduled to be killed at the end of Season 1, in place of No-Doze. Before then however, Vince Gilligan recognized Aaron Paul's excellent potential and acting, and decided to keep him on.
* Jesse's character and Paul's performance have received acclaim from critics and fans. Critics especially praised Jesse's character development from an unsympathetic drug dealer to the moral compass of the show as he becomes increasingly guilty and remorseful for his and Walt's actions while involved in the drug trade. For his portrayal, Paul won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 2010, 2012, and 2014, making him the first actor to win the category three times since its separation into drama and comedy.
* Regarding Jesse's new life in Haines, Alaska, Gilligan speculated that Jesse "would enjoy the brewery and maybe get a job with the ski manufacturer ... the very nice people of Alaska would welcome him into the community." Paul believed that Jesse is "going to keep his nose clean. He has quite a bit of cash on hand. And he’s going to live a very modest lifestyle. He’s moving to a very small place in Alaska, so he doesn’t need all that much money. He knows how to work with his hands, and so he just needs to refresh those skills and become the artist that he was always meant to be."
* Jesse is the only main character in Season 1 of Breaking Bad that isn't related to Walt.
* Jesse and Walt are the only main characters to kill another main character, with Walt killing Mike Ehrmantraut and Jesse killing Todd Alquist.
* In Breaking Bad, Jesse meets every main character except for Walter White Jr.
* In Better Call Saul, Jesse meets two main characters, Jimmy McGill and Kim Wexler.
* In the original Pilot script, the character that would become Jesse was named "Marion Dupree".
* Jesse appears to be a fan of Jethro Tull.
* Jesse is one of two characters (along with Walter White) to appear in every episode. However he has no lines in the episode "Buried", which makes Bryan Cranston (Walter White) and Anna Gunn (Skyler White) the only actors to have lines in every episode of the series.
* Jesse is the last person alive who knows how to cook Walt's signature Blue Sky meth formula, and one of the few surviving members of Walt's Drug Empire.
* In 2022, statues of Jesse Pinkman and Walter White were built and unveiled in Albuquerque.
* In "El Camino", it's left unclear what if any charges Jesse actually has against him. SAC Ramey only identifies Jesse as a person of interest in the gang massacre who possibly has information regarding other cases the DEA is investigating. Being a person of interest suggests that the authorities may have only been seeking Jesse for information, not arrest, or that Ramey just wasn't admitting to wanting Jesse as more than someone with potential information particularly in light of the fact that Jesse's captivity and rescue by Walt appears to be public knowledge.
** In "Breaking Bad", Francesca mentioned to Saul that the DEA were still looking for Saul and Jesse, as they are the only two left with information on Walter's drug empire. This indicates that Ramey was omitting the fact that Jesse was wanted for more than being a person of interest in the massacre at Jack's compound, and that he was wanted for arrest for his role in Walt's empire.
** Saul's 86-year imprisonment in "Saul Gone" left Jesse as the only former affiliate to Walt's empire to successfully escape justice. He is also the only one out of Ed Galbraith's known clients to successfully adapt to his new life and not squander it like Jimmy and Walt who were caught or came back for revenge and died respectively.
* In the minisode "TwaüghtHammër", a very short clip of a young Jesse playing the drums is shown. It was revealed in the Breaking Bad Insider Podcast for "Phoenix" that the actor who played this young version of Jesse is John Shiban's son, Jerry Shiban.
* Jesse is 5' 7" according to his mugshot. Gus's doctor says that Jesse has A- blood type, is 25 years old, 70 kg (154 lbs), and is allergic to erythromycin (a common antibiotic). Jesse's hair length changes over the course of the series several times. During his imprisonment by Jack Welker's Gang, he gains longer hair and a beard which are both matted. Following his rescue, Jesse shaves his head and beard to stubble. Due to the torture he suffers at the hands of Jack's gang, Jesse is left with several facial scars, at least two on the top of his head which are visible after he shaves it and some on his back as well.
* Jesse's blood type is A-negative, meaning he can donate to A-positive, A-negative, AB-positive and AB-negative, and he can receive blood from A-negative and O-negative.
* Jesse weighs 70 kilograms (154 pounds) and he is 180 centimeters (5'11") tall.
* Jesse is allergic to erythromycin and needs to be treated with cefazolin if he has a reaction.
* In a deleted scene for "El Camino", it is revealed that Jesse was actually wounded in the firefight at Kandy Welding Co., something that was not seen in the actual movie itself. After Jesse pays him, Ed promises to look at Jesse's wound for him. Vince Gilligan explained the scene was cut because it prolonged the film's third act, but his one regret was losing one more scene featuring the late Robert Forster as Ed.
* In Better Call Saul's "Breaking Bad", Jesse reveals that he and other Albuquerque street-level dealers have never heard of Lalo Salamanca.
* It is also revealed by Francesca that Skinny Pete and Badger's plan to distract law enforcement by planting Jesse's car at the Mexican border worked. As a result, the authorities think that Jesse has fled to Mexico.
* In "Waterworks", it's revealed that Jesse is aware of Kim Wexler due to her representing Combo.
* Jesse is shown playing Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing and Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 in "Bullet Points" and "Crawl Space" respectively.
** Coincidentally, both Jesse and Sonic share the same voice actor in French, Alexandre Gillet.
* In the video game The Henry Stickmin Collection, there is a character with a pink hat named Pinkman with a biography of "He's not affiliated with any chemistry teachers or cartels. He just has a pink hat".
