The AA sponsor is lucky he didn't get his head smashed in for saying that about Vito in front of Tony. In the mob world, you don't talk that way about a made guy especially when you're not made and in front of a Boss.
This is what makes this show legendary, not just the serious crime drama, but the hilarious comedy scenes...judge Roy Bean, Rock Hudson, AIDS, take it in the back...lmao....classic
Patsy is also the most confident, he never got involved with other people’s bullshit, and when Pauly accused him he just flipped him off, no theatrics, he knows himself, doesn’t need the reindeer games the other guys go through.
"i could care less" is incorrect. The right way to phrase it would be "I couldn't care less, which would simply means what it says, you couldn't care any less about ut.
It's supposedly improvised by Van Zandt who played Silvio. The "wtf" double take from Tony was, again supposedly, Gandolfini's actual reaction to that line.
One of the main points of the show that the mob is past it's peak, that they now "bend more rules than the Catholic church" and whatnot. Maybe in 50's they'd whack the kid right there and then just so he couldn't spread the word anymore, regardless of his tone, but in the 2000's it was a completely different era for the mafia.
If Christopher showed any leadership, he would have spoken to Tony about this in private. It is a sensitive issue and needed to be dealt with quitetly.
@1:22 Chrissy did call it, back when the false rumors were spread about Tony and Adrianna, Chris walked in to Vito and company laughing, and Chris threw that Hero sandwich at Vito while calling him a "fvckin parade float" 😂.
Vito was not just "some good earner". As Michael Franzese said, usually only around 10-20% of made guys are real earners, with only a few of them making huge profit. In the Soprano family, most guys were shitty earners and didn't think about the big picture, whereas Ralphie and Vito were by far the biggest earners, as far as we know. All this sheds some clear light on why Tony was so extremely hesitant about letting any one of these two getting whacked, on more than one occasion.
@@NIKOLAP7it seemed that actually he was coming around, going sober from blow and with the accident with his kid. He was captain, he was happy and humble with his position. The problem was Tony who had his Ralph glass full from the beating of the girl, just waiting to tip over, and the horse did just that. But money-wise, what he did to the horse was actually good since it was sick and could not win anything again, just a money pit for horse doctors. But Tony's love for animals and hate for Ralphie burst right then.
@@Fanatik4Ever Makes sense. Although Ralph attracted some bad attention from his antics. That is why Tony looked for every kind of excuse to whack him.
The joke: "Mom, all the kids at school say I have a big head. Its really upsetting." The mother says, "Don't worry honey, your head isn't big at all. Now, go gather some potatoes." "Mom, I don't have a bag for potatoes." "Its okay son, just use your hat."
Tony was quick to defend and slow to condemn Vito here. I wonder if that's because he felt it was wrong and injust to judge and potentially slander Vito without gathering more information or if it was purely for financial reasons. Vito was a good earner and Tony must have immediately known that if Vito really was gay that would be a big hit to his bottom line.
I believe he was caught at a swinger’s club in the city where he had a threesome with a woman and another man but they went further than just slapping balls and high fiving across her back.
@@thefloridamanofytcomments5264 he only went to a swingers club because of the medication he was taking for his blood pressure. It fucked with his head.
I don't think so. Not only is this the limitless HBO like the others said, but also the discrimination given by the wiseguys is clearly portrayed to be coming from a place of thoughtless ignorance. As the Sopranos is often a social commentary, this storyline is no exception, and the narrative serves to paint a picture of the tragic consequences that occur when ignorance meets power and corruption.
This storyline is also an intriguing forum about how sometimes you have to keep your beliefs to yourself for your own protection. We see Tony act curiously ambivalent about the gossip on Vito, and even though he has to act like he does not agree with homosexuality to please the rest of the wiseguys just incase of mutiny, his body language notes that he feels otherwise deep down. This is confirmed, in my eyes, when he tells Melfi about how he thinks what happens in the bedroom should stay in the bedroom. It's also fairly interesting to note that it seems Tony's internal conflict between his beliefs and the beliefs of his crew are fairly obvious, even on a speculative basis, and the fact that the "wiseguys" never really pick this up, is a humorous nod to how clueless these men can truly be at times.
@@kendallperry9247 I think deep down they are all the same tho but believe they have to act in a certain way, no more so when tony tells them about him seeing a therapist they all just for a brief moment let there guard down and say they all need a little therapy some times which shows to me that they are still humans despite what they do and most probably feel bad about some stuff they have to do but they cant show it when they are out in public.
2:31 Carlo: “If it was up to me, I’d drag Vito behind my fucking car right now.” Tony: “Oh, will you take it easy over there, fucking Judge Roy Bean!?” 😂
"This guy Sal, I know him. He's a friend of ours". No Carlo, he's a friend of yours. Friend of ours means he's made. Friend of mine mean's he is an associate of yours. You would never call a non-made guy a friend of ours. Now getvitoondaphone
He must have been made. Carlo called him "a friend of ours" two times. I am certain that they really respected the mob speak and wouldn't call an associate "a friend of ours". Carlo uses this fact to emphasize that these accusations were not produced by some random associate or civilian
