Oh he was definitely playing it sometimes too... like in court with that smug smile. And one of the dimensions of his character was the uncertainty of when it's real and when it's put on
Wow you missed that completely and so did the other 300 people who liked your comment. Livia was actually losing her mind. And Junior didn't realize it when projecting her vague rabble into a reason to make a hit on Tony. He realized this later when Livia had no idea who Meadow was. Livia has always been upfront in her love-hate with Johnny and Tony - being hateful to their face, but remarking kindly on them to others - this is a major depressive symptom that Tony inherited and it made him an effective leader. Junior having senility is not-necessarily themed in a way that conveys poetic justice, but it does play into the theme that age makes victims of us all. Johnny Sack also faced a similar arc, remarking on his becoming cigarette free once in prison, only to come down with an incredibly aggressive form of lung cancer. As far as Junior's mental decline is concerned, it's used mostly later on as a blow to Tony's inability to free himself from his depression. In the last episode, he was shown to have gotten essentially no where in ailing his depressive and agonizingly fundamental outlook on life; he sees a world crumbling in around him to the very end. Being with his family was the only thing that made him happy and that's how the show ended. Whether he realized that or not before being clipped, we will never know. But that's the poetic bow on the series finale. Only a fool would interpret Livia or Junior's senility as a con on those around them. It was cleverly shot to reflect the false egos and ideologies of the characters who engaged with them. For instance, Tony hating his mother allowed him to believe the rumor that his mother wanted him dead. And the rumor itself was created by Junior, whose own interpersonal hatred for Tony allowed him to believe that's what she wanted. What's more? Everyone assumed Junior's shooting of Tony was no different than as if he tried to whack him. And Tony did little to stop this, even when his own son tried to avenge him. It's a fantastic way to show how people misinterpret one another. David Chase does that a lot with this show, often having characters repeat what they heard from another character only a scene later. People are unoriginal and project in conversation, often saying awkward things and missing the point entirely. It's one of the only shows that displays this clearly for the audience, and it serves as a lesson to those who take everything they hear for granted.
Tony, Bobby, and Feech laughing at Junior at that Dandelion joke was such a rare wholesome ballbreaking moment. Seeing bobby laughing his ass off in the background gets me everytime.
I love how the writers very subtly illustrated how Junior's mind was turning to mush.. Asks Bobby to make him an egg twice, forgets Tony didn't want one and mistakenly calls Tony B, Tony "Egg"... genius haha
I DON'T see a better way to illustrate his condition .I'm not a paperback writer for an Audio and VISUAL media though. I dont want to be a paperback writer. A paperback writer. Good luck with that Paul, ya weirdo.
The fact that Bobby is so transparently genuine with his view on Carmine being a great man for inventing point-shaving is what makes it so funny. The show has always made a conscious effort to show how delusional so many of these characters are within their counter-culture world.
@@AE-bm4no Sorry, but you have completely misunderstood my point. Whether the factoid about Carmine is true or not is utterly irrelevant. I was discussing the comical nature (outside the logic of the Italian Mafia) of what makes someone a great man.
maybe the fact that NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT YOU OR YOUR "FAVORITE ACTORS"! everybody knows they've passed so shut the fuck up about it okay?..ya fuckin Dunce!
The suttle tension exhibited by feech toward Tony is genius writing. 'Ah the Boyking' 'There he is John Barrymore' - The way Tony picks up on it also and throws it back at him.. amazing acting
Yes! Well said. It was evident elsewhere too pretty much in all the scenes with them. Feech - Let me kiss the ring Tony - How about the one in the center of my ass
Feech was meant to be an actual Italian mafioso. Made on the other side. Ralphie mentioned it when telling the card game story a little while before Feech turned up in the main story. But I think his character was modified to fit the crew better after he was cast. Real scicilan gangsters of the old school were a very different stripe to the Italian-Americans. They werent flamboyant or in your face with their actions or demeanor. There's a great passage in a book on the sicilan mafia I read that described a bunch of sicilians that were pretty much horrified by the way their American cousins carried on. Loudly discussing business in a diner with girlfriends at their sides. The old guys were way more careful, and would never talk shop even around trusted women or wives (let alone casual girlfriends).
@@cornusia yes, you're quite right. Tony and the guys were tighter lipped than those actual historical gangsters referenced in that book. Even Christopher gave up relatively little to Adriana - considering he was a junkie mess for much of the series. It was a weird cultural thing that the old school Sicilians practiced (Mario Puzo outlined it really well in the book The Godfather. Business was for men. Women were to be compartmentalised completely; spending too much time or energy on them was a sign of weakness.)
@@kingofthehamsters Feech wasn't made in Sicily, his Family has roots in Naples. Still old school mafia but not as traditional as Sicilians, which is why the Camorra acts like a typical gang instead of the organization of the Cosa Nostra.
@Evyatar Hadar And that's another thing. I don't wanna hear about how it was during your day. You can keep your stories to local anecdotes like Dynaflow or the McGuire sisters. Otherwise SHUT THE FUCK UP!
StooGP Except it wasn’t even good between them in this clip. Feech was being passive aggressive towards Tony by calling him “the boy king“ undermining him I’m treating him like a child. He just can’t except that Tony was a kid when he went away and that’s now he is the boss of the New Jersey family.
0:27 Check out Tony's reaction to Feech leaning into him, he didn't like it one bit. Tony really wanted to drop that line from Goodfellas on him there: "What the fuck are you doing?!you're hanging around my fucking neck like a vulture, like impending death!"
It's exceptionally painful to go through the clips with Junior, to see the dozens and dozens of signs that his mind was slipping, and how no one had the capability nor desire to see these signs and assist him due to the culture and codes of the time.
Shamino Warhen I always wonder if he’d have gone that way if he didn’t cut things off with his gumar after being ridiculed for going down on her. It all went downhill for him after that.
You don't see it until after the fact when a loved one is going through it. You keep pushing it down the road and going. Okay one more time. And then finally one day you go. Okay, we're done. And it takes years. Been there done that.
love the energy in this scene, the tone is so pleasant. there’s no tension at all, and everyones in a good mood. i love the final part between junior & tony. seeing tony just remember exactly where junior wanted to be put at, makes you realize the amount of care and love tony had for his uncle.
In sports, they set (usually in Las Vegas) a number of points that a better team is supposed win by called the "point spread" or just "spread". In gambling using point spreads, if a team wins, but doesn't win by as much as the point spread, the people who bet on that team don't win. Point shaving is fixing a game so a team doesn't beat the point spread. It started in basketball I believe (paying players to slow down the scoring if they were beating the spread). The thing that characterizes point shaving is that a player can fix the game so they don't beat the spread, but not cause their team to lose the game. I had the type of father who placed bets with a bookie and worked for a construction company with mobbed up owners, so I learned this stuff young. But I'd be willing to bet you can find this by typing "point shaving" into Google.
@John Lorton Yes that and even more basically just giving more opportunities to bet on more games. If the Patriots were playing the Bengals this year and there wasn't any kind of spread, there would be no reason to take bets or place bets on that game except people who wanted to bet on an extremely unlikely upset, which almost no one would do.
Gambling is a key moneymaker in the Mafia. Inventing point shaving would be of significance to these guys. Junior bought a Cadillac with the money he won. haha
Its not a dichotomy, sports and their outcomes are objectivley pointless, carmine invented a clever way to make money which is a good thing, not for the sport itself but who cares really?
Just a random scene but so much going on that is both poignant to the show and life in general. The rare playful moments between Tony, his beloved uncle and friends. (rare because it' isn't mean spirited) the looming reality of Junior's worsening illness. Junior discussing mortality, coming to face his own mortality and opining "who now damnit!?" that he's crossed a treshold where life stopped giving him things, and is now taking them away. It's warm, fun, and sad all at once. In a world: brilliant!
Junior was a great character and you always knew there was going to be a great laugh with great one liners,, it was really a pity they took him out when they did he was missed,,
"You run around like an idiot holding hands as tight as you can, and then the line snaps. Somebody lets go. And you're next." Out of all Uncle Jun quotes, this is one of my favorites. The delivery is chilling.
Yeah that last part gets me, its like that game we used to play as kids, crack the whip, you run around like a bunch of idiots holding hands and than the line snaps and somebody lets go,than you realize you're next. thats some deep shit.
Junior, I believe, was not as " clueless" as he appeared on the surface. That was a very insightful. Perhaps Junior was meant to be a "parody" of Gigante who wondered around in his pajamas...
+Larry D I believe you're right on. I remember him disappearing down memory lane in his Lincoln once when Janice was supposed to be minding him, and that's the first thing I thought of.
Something subtle I just picked up on: Tony's afraid of Feech, to a degree. At 0:29-0:30, when Feech hovers over Tony as he says "He's a good kid, your cousin, smart" notice how Tony almost flinches when Feech gets in his space. I don't we ever saw that with any other character, not even Richie Aprile. When Feech was released, the news report said Feech was "greatly feared and respected in the '70s" and Tony says "Amen to that." This would've been a guy who was a heavy hitter when Tony was a nobody punk hijacking trucks. Everything about that, and about Feech, seems to make Tony uncomfortable.
Uncle Junior was one of my favorites! I love the character. Chase has him as mostly a good ol' guy from the old school and he's just being honest. He ate the dandelions just to be polite, and Tony B is a fucking weirdo! The old house just fits the character.
Man this is such a good scene, they really show how dementia is complicated, Junior can't remember 10 seconds ago but he remembers the exact night point shaving was invented and he made a whole lot of money. He bought a Fleetwood.
I'm not sure why, but "He was a great man; my cousin told me it was Carmine who invented point shaving" makes me laugh more consistently than just about any other line from the show. At this point I start laughing after "He was a gre--"
That scene where Tony kicks Bobby softly on his ass, and everyone laughs always warms my heart. How happy they all looked. Back when everything was fine
"You want an egg? Make my nephew an egg" "I don't want an egg" "Make my nephew an egg" "I don't want one" "He said he doesn't want an egg" "You want an egg? Make my nephew an egg"
One of the (many) things they do really well in this show is showing Junior's decline. It's very subtle, he's sharp as a tack in the beginning, but by the end he's completely lost his mind.
Junior was always egging Tony on. He cracked me up. Being the boss is a heavy yolk to bear. Too bad he ended up a shell of his former self with his brains all scrambled. But, we knew the mob life is never over easy.
The Sopranos never really got enough recognition for it's comedy. I think it is actually 51% comedy and 49% drama. The comedic writing was amazing.
Agreed, although sometimes I wish they were making a western
Tony Egg
Naa I’d say at the start of the show it was 40% comedy. By the end it was like 20%
The whole show had a comedic undertone to it, with more overt moments throughout the show.
Thats why it is the best tv show ever

He invented points shaving. A great man. Hilarious.
Jeffrey Haefner what is points shaving?
In sports, they set (usually in Las Vegas) a number of points that a better team is supposed win by called the "point spread" or just "spread". In gambling using point spreads, if a team wins, but doesn't win by as much as the point spread, the people who bet on that team don't win. Point shaving is fixing a game so a team doesn't beat the point spread. It started in basketball I believe (paying players to slow down the scoring if they were beating the spread). The thing that characterizes point shaving is that a player can fix the game so they don't beat the spread, but not cause their team to lose the game. I had the type of father who placed bets with a bookie and worked for a construction company with mobbed up owners, so I learned this stuff young. But I'd be willing to bet you can find this by typing "point shaving" into Google.
Who needs Google? We have the good fortune of people like You mrrusss!

Junior, I believe, was not as " clueless" as he appeared on the surface. That was a very insightful. Perhaps Junior was meant to be a "parody" of Gigante who wondered around in his pajamas...
+Larry D I believe you're right on. I remember him disappearing down memory lane in his Lincoln once when Janice was supposed to be minding him, and that's the first thing I thought of.
"The Class of 2004. Old rats and a new ship".
This is such a damn good line
Scary to think 2004 was 17 years ago
Funny that was my high school class...
Something subtle I just picked up on: Tony's afraid of Feech, to a degree.
At 0:29-0:30, when Feech hovers over Tony as he says "He's a good kid, your cousin, smart" notice how Tony almost flinches when Feech gets in his space. I don't we ever saw that with any other character, not even Richie Aprile. When Feech was released, the news report said Feech was "greatly feared and respected in the '70s" and Tony says "Amen to that." This would've been a guy who was a heavy hitter when Tony was a nobody punk hijacking trucks. Everything about that, and about Feech, seems to make Tony uncomfortable.
That's why he never got him wacked plus Tony robbed him so kinda still scared
I like it
It's also the remark about Cousin Tony being smart. Can't stand to have someone be thought of as smarter than he.
This is the moment Tony Blundetto became Tony Egg.
I love that line “nobody beat the spread.. I bought a black fleetwood”
Uncle Junior was one of my favorites! I love the character. Chase has him as mostly a good ol' guy from the old school and he's just being honest. He ate the dandelions just to be polite, and Tony B is a fucking weirdo! The old house just fits the character.
Man this is such a good scene, they really show how dementia is complicated, Junior can't remember 10 seconds ago but he remembers the exact night point shaving was invented and he made a whole lot of money. He bought a Fleetwood.
I'm not sure why, but "He was a great man; my cousin told me it was Carmine who invented point shaving" makes me laugh more consistently than just about any other line from the show. At this point I start laughing after "He was a gre--"
Love Junior's reaction when he realizes someone's dead but doesn't know who
Uncle Jun, what a great character played by a great actor.
"Under the moosh head, i know" lol
He said "That's where all the neighborhood dogs go to piss!" LoL.
Hey Rudy Juarez, did you hear what he said? He said "15th avenue, isn't that where all the neighborhood dogs go to piss!" hehe
@@alexfilosa3668 You look like you were in Miami
Junior telling Tony he wants to be cremated, yet he outlives Tony, even if his mind is gone.
Tony Egg never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
+pjg19751 just laughed myself silly at that comment.
+pjg19751 AWWWW SON OF A BITCH!!
pjg19751 - it's a god damn shame. Lmao.
Tony Egg never had the makings of a varsity omelette.
You and Tony egg again
Feech sounds like he’s having stroke at the end, leaving the house muttering in Italian
*The twist:*
Tony Egg was the hitman who Junior contracted to kill Dickie Moltisanti .
My cousin told me it was Carmine who invented point shaving
I thought janice killed you
Yeah, this was a great man.
Lol always love when junior brings up old memories
I watch sopranos clips not just cause i love them but to see the cell phones of the early 2000s..😂😂😂😂😂
Such a simple little scene but such fantastic writing and acting.
I wished they did more with Tony Egg, he was my favorite character on the show
That scene where Tony kicks Bobby softly on his ass, and everyone laughs always warms my heart. How happy they all looked. Back when everything was fine
“And then the line snaps; somebody let’s go, and you’re next.”
"Tony Egg never had the makings of a Varsity salad."
Too many gherkins that was his problem
hahahaha
God damn it.
back when Motorola was the best..
I remember that month
"You want an egg? Make my nephew an egg"
"I don't want an egg"
"Make my nephew an egg"
"I don't want one"
"He said he doesn't want an egg"
"You want an egg? Make my nephew an egg"
Have One Anyway
Absolutely love Junior’s voice. Professional singer ~ go figure
I love how season 5 and 6a and 6b is when Bobby is finally seen for the valuable asset he truly is. Tis a shame it gets him killed.
Everything great about The Sopranos is on display in this clip
One of the (many) things they do really well in this show is showing Junior's decline. It's very subtle, he's sharp as a tack in the beginning, but by the end he's completely lost his mind.
Juniors my favorite soprano...writers gave him the best lines.....he never disappointed
What a shitstorm Carmine Sr.’s death actually ended up being...interesting quote by Junior at the end in that case.....
That Crack the Whip statement was the epitome of what was to come for Tony. Junior still had that realization before his mind deteriorated
"Old rats on a new ship" classic
Holy cow. I don't remember Robert Loggia in The Sopranos. I always liked him. He was such a good actor.
H as in hey it's Robert Loggia, o as in oh my god it's Robert Loggia, l as in look it's Robert Loggia, y as in yes it's Robert Loggia
I wish they did more with Tony Egg . He was an important character on the show.
Tony Egg was the most underrated character on the show.
I love how Bobby answers the phone with his hand on his hip like an old gammie
"And don't throw my ashes in somebody's yard"...." or in the field on 15th where all the dogs piss"
I wish they've could done more with Tony Huevo.
This is when in my opinion Bobby started showing that he was a potential earner and paid attention to things going on in the streets
I wish they did more with tony egg, he was one of my favorites
Junior was always egging Tony on. He cracked me up. Being the boss is a heavy yolk to bear. Too bad he ended up a shell of his former self with his brains all scrambled. But, we knew the mob life is never over easy.
Tony says “call me when he needs me”
And then calls his phone 30 times a day
The year is 2021, it’s 1:20am, and I’m watching Sopranos clips again
The man. The legend. My Tony'. We need Tony soprano for president. 😘my Tony'. Rip Mr gandolfini.
