Omar Little pays Proposition Joe a friendly visit [The Wire] 

Renaldo: You ready to go see Prop Joe? Omar: One second. (Breaks his clock) Renaldo: ??? 🤔 Omar: Now we can go.

What's even more hilarious is that Joe actually DID fix the clock and handed it back to him, with appropriate fee paid.

Damn younger generation just can't appreciate this kinda stuff

@@DSPHistoricalSociety foreal it had sentimental value to him probably his grammas

@@LabTech41 An easily missed detail is the fact that when Omar sets the clock down and asks if it can be fixed, for a brief moment, Joe's demeanor instantly shifts. He puts his glasses on, grabs the clock, and starts examining it just like he would any other customer, despite the fact _Omar Little_ is the one standing in front of him. Joe genuinely did care about his craft.

He was apparently heavy in the Baltimore theater community too. His theater background really seemed to shine heavily in the wire. Which makes a lot of sense since most of the monologues in the wire feel straight up like you're watching a stage play.

@@YoungSlim51 most of the actors were theater trained even sandi mcCree(Mrs Brice[namond’s mother]).

RIP Robert Chew

He was an acting teacher in the hood

So good lol

It's like when Phil literally came out of a closet to confront Vito before they whacked him lmfao. So dramatic and borderline corny but I love it so much

That Desert Eagle and Omar likes 👍🏾 it simple is my favorite ❤️

Bro brough that clock together with him just for this line make sense lol.

This is also the moment Cheese decides in his mind to give Prop Joe up to Marlo. He sees how two-faced Prop Joe can be and decides to take advantage and have him killed. He was so busy watching his back he didn't realize his nephew was right in front of him with an excavator.

"Omar to one side holding a spade, Marlo to the other with a shovel." is perfect iambic pentameter. A lot of times when a line sounds really cool, it's in iambic pentameter, which is what Shakespeare wrote in.

'youre the one with the high card, you should speak your mind' ooooo it's lovely stuff.

@@LtSprinkulz actually Cheese been used to Prop Joe playing both sides of the fence since the Barksdale days. Cheese started to take offense to when Joe was sonnin him in front of the co-op. Cheese’s ambition made him give up his Uncle just like Marlo said he was made to play the #2 Cheese no longer wanted to be the little nephew

@@andrewtaylor6755 we either have different definitions of "iambic pentameter" or else "perfect."

Best series end to end I've ever watched. Even the sub characters are great, and they never fell into making it about anything but the game.

Unfornately The Wire don't received the acclaim that the series deserves like Breaking Bad and Sopranos.

@@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm3153 idk. I've seen it listed as the #2 series behind only the sopranos. Think it was rolling stone. I love the sopranos but the wire was better end to end

That's the trinity of TV dramas. These 3 shows are all you need. Although I do like Rome and Deadwood also.

I like to imagine he had to hunt this clock down just for this line.

It's his Grandma's clock. Like a good Grandson he wants it fixed. But seriously, shoulda blown Cheese's head off long before Slim did.

It was suggested somewhere that it was probably Omar’s grandmother’s clock.

“hmm…you……ran out of time? oh hell yeah. I’m definitely gonna say that shit”

@@toumavideos8678 That was my thoughts

Don't the 45acp and the Ruger 357 magnum.

up close and big fire power nobody runs at a guy with a shotgun almost never miss

@@pinfold1000 it's got a spread like bill burr said

Omar likes it simple

Thats my r6v2 loadout

well, the clock did run out of time.

Rip Michael k Williams 1966-2021 nobody can play Omar better than you and they better not do a reboot the wire was fine just like it is no reboot is needed

@@charlesneely agreed

@@charlesneely Well said my negroe

@@charlesneely WORD! ✊🏽

Omar prepares his lines too. He’s not just gonna rob y’all, he’ll improve your glossary

@@francoisgrenier6681 he’ll also support your business, aslong as its not selling drugs lol

@@eljay2224 how she tickin joe?

@@francoisgrenier6681 hey were my change yo

Got that right

I need you to resist your natural inclination to engage in wild hyperbole up in this here internet, ya feel me?

I gotta go with ‘Midgets, nigga!’

@@lorcansavage1550 “Omar the one side holding a spade and maybe marlo to the other with a shovel, just at this moment, I managed to crawl out my own dam grave, No Way Do I Crawl Back In” idk that one cold asl to

@@lorcansavage1550 that killed me lol

@@DogIn1993 I’ll stick with my original answer as it was memorable, funny and also taught me something.

Me too! Hahahhaha

Wait. I thought that he was holding the back of his head.

You can hear Slim talking to him about his napping near the end of the scene if you turn up the volume.

Nah I think he really did get knocked out, they just propped him up so a random wouldn’t walk by n look inside to see why somebodys sprawled in front of the store and see two men holding guns. If somebody REALLY got caught sleep guarding their OGs like that Im sure slim woulda been doin more than just yellin. That was more of a “Why can’t our muscle all be as competent as Omar so he can stop getting the jump on yall” typa kick/yell

'What happen to the man on the door, Siesta Papi', great lines?! 🤣🤣🙌🏽

I never even noticed. My eyes were on Omar and his boy. That shit is hilarious.

"Siesta papa". I thought they knocked him out. Nah, this fool literally took a daytime nap 😂

​@@flochforster22He was knocked out. He stood up and was holding the back of his head. Probably was pistol whipped across the back of the head. Look again closely.

Teeeewwwwww

That shit hurts my soul brother......

@@anthonyjohnson1519 indeed

Word😢

And Cheese with midgets

Actually, it was "Go on, now"

Lmao 🤣. When he said gone nah all I could think of was Gone nah. Get

@@righteousmasculine GIT!

"tip on out" my favorite.

Lmao no, he took the ticket so he can show it to Marlo IN CASE Joe doesent go along with him. It’s an indirect threat.

He got the ticket because he wants to get the clock fixed, and is happy to pay for it. He respects the two different worlds. Same as when he robbed the store but paid for the newports

@@user-vk9kx5nh3j exactly. In the scene where he comes back to sell the coke back to Prop Joe, he pulls out the ticket to get his clock back. Sure enough Joe gives him the clock back in working order, and Omar pays Joe for his work, even though he just sold him his own coke shipment back to him for 400k. It's the respect for the game on all levels.

Omar is trolling Prop. Omar is going to screw Prop over for a ton of money and then make him fix this shitty old clock. He'll even pay for it and throw Prop a few bucks. He's mocking him, rubbing salt in the wound after screwing him over.

@@benriffle104 That's not how Omar sees it. Omar isn't a "troll". He doesn't do things for effect. Everything he does, has meaning behind it. He's a very calculated person. If it were just for effect, he would have not even asked about the clock, much less kept the ticket and paid for services rendered. Even when he sticks up Old Face Andre's bodega, he could have easily stolen the cigs, but not only did he pay for them, he wanted his change back because he viewed that as a legitimate business transaction. He's a man that lives by a code. Part of that code is, you don't do more than what is necessary. Another part is, is that you respect the rules of the game. His way of respecting the rules of the game in those instances, is treating the front like a legitimate business, because even the small things matter in the game because you never know who is watching, or listening.

Great analysis. Amazing writing

Yea he told the wrong person lol

Especially knowing that it was his own nephew who sold him out.

Poetic Justice. He spent all that time doing folks dirty and the one person he was loyal to? Wrote his death certificate lol

His sister's son was the most cadaverous motherfucker in that repair shop.

This sort of thing comes once in a lifetime. Everything just clicked together, the lines, scenes, the actors, their delivery, just fantastic.

Omar like it simple

"Tickle my fancy, fatman"

@@MM-vs2et Only Omar could make Prop Joe look so small, apart from Marlo I guess.

@@Hossak Then why’d it happen to two shows? The Sopranos and The Wire

And this is why Cheese betrayed Joe because he sensed the weakness in Joe

​@viewmaster617 that's what Marlo used to manipulate Cheese to betray Joe

Yep. Joe knew Marlo was a danger that needed to be dealt with and Omar was willing to let bygones be bygones, over Marlo's head. He knew that if anyone could have done it, it was Omar. Instead, Cheese betrays him to Marlo.

all i know is he never had the makings of a varsity athlete.

@@deathrager2404 That joke doesn't mean nothing here.

@@deathrager2404 Wrong comment section bruh

@@alightthatnevergoesout big waist, that was his problem

Baltimore native, tooo.

No he was not ...

@@PSICK1234ikillallracistrolls Yes, he was. He was always ready for war right alongside Omar.

Whatever, next time he eat up all the honey nut he need to holla on it yo

@@djones2170 this is true.

I’d bet serious money that Method Man came up with that himself.

@@samclemmons5373 yeah the Meth would say something like that, he got that sense of humor

that was cheese MO... everytime he was in a scene.. he had a lil story he told first

✊🏾👍🏾 THAT WAS A GREAT LINE ABOUT THE CLOCK !!!

@@bobwatson1162 I'm pretty sure Omar had the most iconic lines in the show, but really, every character had some amazing, classic lines. Avon had, 'I'm just a gangster, I suppose...and I want my corners.' Brother Mouzzone would goof on Omar being gay when Omar said, 'We go in thru the front,' and Mouzzone said 'That should be a new experience for you,' cuz Omar was a 'backdoor man.' That shit had me dying. Cheese actually got me with, 'You know who got the best pussy?' MIDGETS, nigga.' Fucking Cheese, yo. That was probably Method Man making jokes when asked to adlib, or something. Meth a funny dude. There's just so many characters with an endless supply of great lines. From 'My Name IS My Name,' to 'Money ain't got no owners, only spenders,' to 'Why ain't in your repertoire no more,' I mean for real - there's just SO MANY great lines in the Wire. So many unforgettable characters that lived in shades of grey. Like real people. No cowboy cops, no evil gangsters, just people tryin' to live the only way they knew how. The game is the game. That's why the Wire remains so popular over time, and why it will be remembered ahead of the Sopranos or Dexter or Game of Thrones or whatever. New people keep discovering it, and old heads never stopped watching it. The Wire is becoming a timeless classic. It's so sad that a few of the actors are gone now. Otherwise I bet anything we would've gotten a movie for the Wire. There's no way that doesn't get made when there's still so much interest in the show. That would be like leaving money on the table. Millions would tune into that if the original actors would've reprised their roles. We could find out what becomes of Mike and the new Co-Op - how does Slim Charles handle finally being top dog? Man, that would've been dope as fuck. EDIT: But I'm happy with the Wire as is. Which is more than I can say for a lot of shows.

@@JohnSmith-mk1rj Thanks John ✊🏾 lot's of memorable lines in this show.. ✌🏾

There is something fascinating about that highly intelligent and dangerous character, i think walter white fits that mold even though he transitions into it from a goofy place, maybe gus too

Same with Brother Mouzone, gets shot in the gut and his first question is about Lamar’s well-being

DA FUCK IS YOU DOIN OUT ERE

@@Killerkwoi13 n that kick 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ain’t no excuse!!

Like the torture skits on the Wu Tang albums

We kind of got that with Michael's character.

I'm pretty sure that's his "talking gun". Strictly for intimidation. When he actually has to shoot someone he tended to use more practical weapons.

@@tmage23 Great, glad we cleared that up!🤣🤣

@@tmage23 that's the "rippin' off Andre gun" lmfao

Yeah Omar didn’t rag him over it. Just tried to figure out what he meant and went with it

🙏🏽😂💯

cooperation officer

snitch

Yes it can be that but that's not what they talking bout. He's telling Omar what the hotel sign says & its says New Day Co-op but he tells Omar New Day Coop & Omar says what's a coop before understanding dude mispronounced it.

@@dresosa9966 Speaks to Omar's intelligence that he knows what a co-op is and he correctly surmises that all these drug princes are dropping their coins into one big bag for them to snatch.

@@leviathanmg Agreed

I think he was just doing that thing where your lips move around when you're concentrating

Crazy they both gone

how about firing it sideways running backwards 🤣🤣🤣

That sounds funny af 😂
