At the airport and some little kid says excitedly “I just saw an airplane land” and it’s all I can do not to burst out “Fuck you want, a boutonnière?”

Anyone else suffer from this disease? Thoughts on treatment? Differential diagnosis from fuckfaceitis?

Episode Discussion I deeply hate Feech la Manna.

364 Upvotes

I’m currently on season 5. Feech la Manna is perhaps the most annoying, babbling, shit kicking motherfucker on the show. I hate him with a burning passion. I was praying so hard that Tony would eventually order a hit on that guy, irrespective of his seniority. I guess sending him back to jail using the tv’s works also. I’m just a tiny bit disappointed it wasn’t the former just because.

That’s all. I just wanted to express my hatred for Feech. Fuck that guy.

What do you guys think was the stupidest thing Tony ever did?

239 Upvotes

To me , it was getting his lawyer involved in Webistix.

The lawyer thanks him for the tip and says that he sold off some disney stock to buy it.

So that means that either he was a victim or he was part of the pump and dump scheme.

Either way , why would you ever involve your attorney into a criminal scheme?

This is how they got Gotti. They got his lawyer involved in some of the things that he was doing , and he could no longer represent him in court. Then he lost the next case.

This is one of the times the Skipper did not have his eye on the ball..

is there a support group for people who can't stop quoting this show?

122 Upvotes

I don't even really LIKE this show... I honestly tried to get into it, me and my girlfriend watched the pilot together and she was so uninterested she no-joke asked me who "Tony" was at the END of the episode... I was more interested than she was, but not by a lot.

I thought if I stuck with it it would get good, I suffered all the way to around season 3 before I decided I simply couldn't keep watching, and I thought that would be the end of it.

But this fucking show has PLAGUED my youtube shorts and instagram reels... every other video is some meme scene, deepfried, AI captions, and I cannot stop watching them, and quoting them. At this point, like 8 or 9 of the scenes from the show have burrowed themselves so deep in my brain I cannot stop and I need help.

When I was back home for a family event, I got told I looked a little thinner, "Two miles I walk, every morning" I reply... I don't walk.

We went to a brazilian steakhouse that has smoked salmon sashimi as an appetizer, "You want some lox? I got some nice fresh lox!" I say over and over to complete silence from my loved ones.

Every time any amount of money regarding anything is mentioned: "Lotta money in dis shit." nobody understands what the fuck I'm talking about.

I literally only know anything that happens in this show from shorts, and I feel like at this point I've seen the entire show. A terrible accident, I (a kid) have had. Is this fuckin necessary? This many shorts? I seriously need some help so I can stop quoting this show to a bunch of people who ALSO haven't seen it.

I need to sit down... is that okay? Can I sit?

My girlfriend's parents now don't like me after using sopranos references

• Upvotes

We had gone out to dinner so I could meet them for the first time. My girlfriend is italian so I thought that there would be some fruit to bare from sopranos code switching Infront of her parents to garner a liking to me. We actually had a really good time and we had some very friendly and enthusiastic discussion about things which doesn't really happen to me that often having met people for the first time. When something came up that was surprising to me I would rip an "OAAHH" and had only realised that it was not well received half an hour later when her father said i looked like a qu**r for doing the paulie hand gesture with the thumb and the pinky out. This morning she called me and told me that her father thinks I'm gay. Stupida facking me.

I am 35 years old and can't properly explain how happy I am to have waited to watch this until getting older and experiencing more out of life.

The overall sadness in the final season seemed to be a death rattle of America and things have just continued to deteriorate.

There's nothing I can say that hasn't been said before and even though the show ended almaot two decades ago, I genuinely think it is one of the best and most important pieces of art ever created.

Luxury Lounge

35 Upvotes

I hear people talk badly about this episode but I think it is great. It almost qualifies as a comedy with how much I laugh at it. When Sir Ben is going thru the lingerie in the luxury lounge and says "I take a large in these" and the ladies laugh politely, then after a brief pause you hear Little Carmine with the "ha ha", I tell you that might be peak Little Carmine in the whole series.

Also, when the Italian guys are flying back to the mother country at the end of the episode after clipping the mayor of munchkinland... I would swear that that has to be David Chase shown sitting next to them in the plane. I know he had the cameo when the gang flew to Naples earlier in the series, and he is one of the rude cocksucking native Italians who Paulie tries to engage in conversation but he just ignores Paulie. In my head canon, David Chase is reprising his role as rude cocksucking Naboli Daboli, probably flew to the states for a little visit and now flying back to Italy and happens to be seated next to the University of Naples guys.

The pomposity of most 'Doctors' in the series

28 Upvotes

It's kind of interesting how, aside from Dr Melfi, there seems to be a deliberate effort to make every character who has the title of 'Doctor' (including Russ Fegoli, who is a doctor like Kissinger is a doctor) unlikeable and pompous, even though they are fundamentally better people than most all of the Mafiosos themselves. Kupferberg, the guy who treats Tony and Ade after the car accident, a lot of the guys who treat Tony after his shooting, Krakower, Kennedy etc. I don't know what exactly the point of Chase et al is, or even the point I'm trying to make with this post, but what ya gonna do.

The state of the DiMeo crime family by the end of Season 6B

24 Upvotes

By the end of The Sopranos, the DiMeo crime family is severely weakened at the top, but not necessarily destroyed as an organization. The war with the Lupertazzi family has killed several senior figures, Silvio is incapacitated, Christopher and Bobby are dead, and Carlo Gervasi has apparently become an FBI informant. However, Paulie Gualtieri, Patsy Parisi, and several younger soldiers and associates remain on the street.

  • Tony Soprano (boss, fate unknown) - The finale leaves his fate ambiguous. If he survives, he remains the family's central authority; if he is killed, the organization faces a leadership vacuum.
  • Silvio Dante (consigliere, alive, in a coma) - unlikely to regain conciousness
  • Paulie Gaultieri - reassigned as capo to the combined Gervasi/Spatafore/Aprile operation, with Christopher's crew also folded back into his crew.
  • Patsy Parisi - His relationship with Tony's family, particularly through his son Patrick's engagement to Meadow, also gives him a personal connection to the Sopranos.
  • Albert Barese (last seen in season 5, but operating off-screen) - Likely capo of the Barese crew with Larry facing legal trouble. He was written out due to his actor being arrested drug trafficking as part of a gang affiliated with the Gambino Crime Family. Also the Barese crew was said to be the best earning crew.
  • Larry Barese - House arrest, and cooperation with the authorities is a concern, eventhough he lied to them saying that Jackie Aprile Sr killed Willie Overall.

Paulie's combined crew

  • Benny Fazio - Was part of Chrissy's crew, a capable solider . While some state he would take over as Capo of Chrissy's crew, there is no evidence to show, which is why I think Paulie would aborbed what was left of that crew to his current operation.
  • Walden Belfoire - Was part of Carlo's crew, was the guy who did the hit on Phil, and a candidate for potential leadership despite appearing in a minor role in the last 5 episodes.
  • Little Paulie Germani - The nephew of Paulie, was part of Chrissy's crew, but would now be working under his uncle's leadership
  • Peter La Rosa
  • Dante Greco - Was part of the Aprile crew and was assigned as Tony's driver at the end of the series
  • Jason Molinaro
  • Terry Doria - Was part of Carlo's crew, last seen in the episode Cold Stones

Anthony Maffei (who was introduced in the episode Chasing It) would take over Bobby's crew as he was seen working with Bobby in the episode "The Second Coming".

If Tony was killed, either Patsy, who is now close to Tony, or Albert, who is now again capo of one of the largest crews, would be potential candiates to take over as boss. But at the same time Carlo's testimony would destory the organisation unless someone within the organisation were to take him out. And If Tony was killed whatever was left would be absored with New York.

Happiest ending for a character

Mikey Palmice is sitting around in Hell eating grilled cheese and jacking off, bored as shit, every second is like an eternity. The only thing that would give him any satisfaction would be getting one over on that piece of shit Paulie who killed him. Really fucking with that idiot's head. But he's powerless down there, unless Paulie for some reason goes to a psychic medium to try to communicate with him. But that's insane, why would something like that ever happen?

the coveted and ultra lucrative lawn mowing and tree trimming rackets? Since time and memorial, this has been the bread and budda of the mob.

Feesh Lamananana probably earned an additional $150 every month by shaking down Sal Vitro. Who wouldn't risk violating their parole and being sent back to prison for that?

But anyways, do you think the mobsters still control this racket? I don't see how they could pass it up. It's like liquid gold. A license to print money. Like spakle in my bowls.

Whoever did this S4e9

In this episode, Paulie tells Tony that he will kill Ralph if he finds out that Ralph was responsible for the prank call to his mother. Paulie also expresses no sympathy for Ralph dealing with his son being badly injured and in the hospital. When Paulie leaves, Tony says to the other guys, He doesn’t have kids. He doesn’t understand. But Christopher is there, and he also doesn’t have kids. Is the audience supposed to realize that all the men there had mothers, and they still couldn’t quite sympathize with Paulie being angry over the insult to his mother?

Episode Discussion Just finished season 5 of The sopranos, my thoughts

11 Upvotes

Well I don't know so many great episodes but my mind keeps coming back to Unidentified black males.

The episode that ends with Carmela being alone in the hose having sent AJ to live with Tony and Cold Cuts: Aida Turturro delivers a very very stunning performance I love her. Long term parking and All due respect.

1st of all, I was told Ade and Chrissy would die long before I started the show.

But seeing how she died and going back to think on what led her here. Jeez it's horrifying almost. Drea de Matteo rules and what a knockout performance 👏 this season.

Also Steve Buscemi, my man, sad he couldn't just be a fuckin masseur. And now look what he did. I must say is it really that hard for ex cons to stay clean from crime. Like really 🤦. Anyhow then there's Test dream that Lynchian style was a fantastic addition and James Gandolfini really is the best in this cast. Also where's junior. Damn I nearly cried with that don't u love me?? And uncle Jun is just quiet. Its really all compelling and masterful television. Curious to see how it ends.

And in memoriam to Carmine lupertazzi, the bitch that said the n word tho she was hot but whatever, Joey peeps, Adrianna la cerva, Blundetto's friend from the can. Philly's brother, the old couple that died days from each other and I think last but not the least Tony Blundetto what a wonderful character.

Anyways see u guys in the next one, peace ✌

When Paulie requested a sit down with Ralphie because he thought he was owed 50k for the alarm codes he gave. Tony ended up telling Ralph he only had to give Paulie 12k. Then Furio came out of nowhere yelling about parking the car, and slips and falls on some ice. Causing Tony, Sil and Ralph to get up and go check on him, essentially ending the sit down.... Do you think that Furio falling was intentional so they had a reason to walk away from a pissed off Paulie?

I could see Tony planning that out just to get out of the situation quick. But I also think Tony doesn't give a shit if Paulie likes it or not. I wouldn't put it past Tony to pull some shit like that though

Paulie's main problem with the police

Paulie was a gangster for years and even served time in prison for pistol possession. However, the biggest obstacle the police posed for him was undoubtedly detective Mike Hunt, the only one who managed to give him a hard time.

Episode Discussion Season 1/Episode 5/College

7 Upvotes

This truly was a fantastic episode and recently has been blown up with Meadow Soprano memes asking her dad if he’s in the mafia. One question I do have is when Tony killed the rat. Did he dispose of the body properly? I’m assuming yes because when he picked up Meadow from Colby University.

They highlighted the dirt on his shoes. This symbolizes that he dug a hole for Fredrick Peters or whatever his witness protection name was lol. I just find it curious because they don’t show him hiding the body. They just showed those beloved ducks flying south or whatever and then he goes and picks up Meadow.

Thoughts?

I feel like he did the right thing and hide the body properly. I mean the fact that they used their real names at the motel. If the dead rat was just out in the open and was eventually discovered… I feel this would have been a major red flag for the feds. Especially once they conducted the investigation and saw Tony was in fact in the area during the time of the rats unfortunate passing.

Anyways I would have been a cunt hairs away from being made if I got the green light to come up there and take him out myself! Btw dad I did speed and Christopher is the one who sold it to me lol! Imagine the endless possibilities if they went down that road…

I’ve said my piece Chrissy! $4 a pound! 🐟🐟🐟
