Believe it or not, it's actually a reference to another show. Louis Lombardi (Skip's actor) played a character called "Fat Man" on the show EZ Streets back in 96-97.
I always said that as well. They got all their confidential witnesses killed. Except Raymond I guess. Pressured Adrianna, got her whacked. Got Masserone whacked because those two fucksticks were spotted by a corrupt cop outside the diner. Idiots...
@@BronzNazareth Raymond survived because he was a slippery bastard. His handlers had nothing to do with it. He was just too good at being an informant.
8:32 That shattered look on Pussy's face when Skip tells him he's not an FBI employee. It's in keeping with what Tony's says about how the hustle never ends, or Christopher ranting about the 'regularness of life'. These guys could never settle down for an ordinary life.
Every scene between Skip and Puss is awesome. One of the best aspects of Season 2, IMO. Watching Puss struggle with his betrayal and cope with his situation was always interesting.
I liked Skip. Louis Lonbardi did a great job playing Skip. You can see how Pussy changes every time he interacts with Skip. At the end, the show got really interesting when Skip had to warn Sal that he was only a cooperating witness and not an agent.
I’ve re-watched the Sopranos several times and catch something new every time. 1:55-2:44, Pussy’s background is the graveyard while Skip is in the lush green side. Great foreshadowing.
@@motnurky7055 I was wondering why didn't Big %&@#$ simply demand that he be given a job with the FBI and do no jail time or else he won't cooperate. That's what I would have done. I wouldn't risk my life and do time anyway.
Criminal is irrelevant, he just didn't have anything special to offer them outside of being an inside man. The FBI and other agencies have recruited plenty of former criminals.
Sal uh , you wuh huwit a suhleven eleven cuhlerk. “How is he ?” He’s suh wuh in uh Cuh woma . They’s was uh gonna puh winch you for leaving the scene , but I uh wa tuh walked dem outta uh it .
Skip was one of my favorite feds on this show. It was too bad we never saw him again after the Season 3 premiere. When I first saw Season 2, I initially didn't fully understand the first scene where he's talking to Pussy in the car-and based on the way Skip talks (i.e. his accent, lingo, and attitude), I actually thought he was another mafioso character.
Jay Santos you know how many fat navy seals there are out there? Not everyone keeps up their physical fitness after they pass the test, it doesn't take long at all to get out of shape if you stop working out, look at Jesse Ventura in 1980 compared to today
I like how the sopranos shows how sometimes the feds can be just as ruthless as the mobsters. They got literally every single one of their informants killed besides Carlo, and from what we saw they basically pushed them all to death besides Raymond.
@@FuckShorts Yea, the people who also murder government whistleblowers and innocent citizens for obscene charges sure are the good guys, and nothing like the organized criminal element. You know, they work for the OTHER organized criminal element, that has more guns and power, and can kill everyone on a whim. Enjoy your brain-dead existence, you bootlicking dog.
"I got a life out side of this too." "Yeah, lucky you." Man that small exchange really makes me appreciate my freedom, and the fact that I never got caught up in any messy criminal situations in my life.
Yeah I met a guy who was a bit entangled back in the 70s when he was younger. Fortunately he had some wits, got out, moved away, and then he and his wife started doing nature / tour guide shit. He said every couple of years he'd be back in his old grounds, connect with some, you know, people from back in the day, and see just right the choice he made was. And according to him, he'd had just a fine life. Just a real fine life.
I got caught up in the system. Not to the extent of the Mafia obviously but got caught up in drugs and spent 7 years of my 20s behind bars. Took me having a daughter to get sober and stop being a fucking clown. Going on 5 years now since I've had any drugs or run ins with the law
Did anyone ever catch on to Skip's reaction when he asked who the car operation went to at 1:07? Puss says Junior gave the car operation over to Ray Curto, which as we all know, Ray was an informant and the car operation was actually taken over by Tony. Skip gave Puss a look knowing that he was lying, but Skip couldn't say anything to Puss about him lying because he had to protect Ray form being found out. I never caught that little moment to just now watching the replay.
This is why I don’t think Jimmy was an informant until right before he died. I think Curto had long been an informant & they flipped Pussy after he was busted for heroin to use him to verify the information Curto gave them. Pussy was giving them the run around so they approached Jimmy after they arrested him for the second time. They knew he would be more willing to cooperate. After Jimmy was whacked they put more pressure on Pussy.
"I owe you Skip for looking the other way on Bevilaqua" "What! The bureu would never turn its head on a murder charge!!" "Alright well what else can u say at this point right?" LMFAO!!!!
When Skip tells Pussy, "You gotta remember, YOU'RE the one whose different now...You're the one see'in through different eyes."...I gotta say, that struck me. In this instance, Skip was spot on the more I think about it.
Tony really was looking at him differently though. Tony definitely had Pussy on his radar again at that point in the show. Skip was being incredibly dismissive and unsympathetic toward him, that's kinda the whole point
5:50 is one of my favourite parts in the whole series Lipari just concedes the fact that Sal lied to him and is involved in the murder, cuts his losses in 2 seconds.
I honestly didn’t think Skip’s lisp was that bad. Not enough for him to be a figure of fun. He was a confident and authoritative talker, which masked his lisp significantly.
Not hidden significantly enough, because the lisp was highly noticeable. And of course he "speaks" authoritatively, he has all the power, perhaps why he didn't try to hide the lisp, he doesn't have to, to maintain respect.
damn I forgot how gangsta Skip got when they were asking Sal to wear a wire during AJ.s communion. "Whose sponsoring YOU MOTHAFUCKA!!!!" I didn't know he had it in him 😭 Kudos to the person running this channel. all this great Sopranos content and he doesnt and can't get paid for it. God bless your soul friend
Reminds me of a guy and girl who are both in a relationship that are developing feelings for eachother , they haven't fucked yet but feeling are developing and their both complaining about their respective partners to justify the road of cheating their going down
In the US, the average life expectancy is about 78 years. In the Sopranos, the average life expectancy of a new FBI informant is something like 23 days.
I gotta be honest, seems pleasant. Like it'd be quiet. And if it's a nice cemetary, it'd be well kept and kind of scenic TBH. If you're not superstitious, seems nice.
"My best friend is President Franklin, and he's in there." 😂 So often the most brilliant writing on this show comes out of nowhere in throw-away lines.
2:38 Now I understand why Puss desired a house by the ocean. Imagine all those years going out on the patio breathing that 1980s, 90s, early 2000s North Jersey air with a beautiful view of a cemetery. Youngsters these days will never appreciate driving on the NJ Turnpike and having to handcrank your window closed between the Carteret exit until the Ikea/Airport exit.
Lmao the interaction @5:38 is so funny to me. Big Puss and Skip’s relationship reminded me of a badass yet clumsy/goofy kid and a geeky probation officer. “Ahh what more can you say at this point” lmao
I always crack up when Skip grabs Sal's toe like they're a couple. I wonder how close long time informants actually get with their law enforcement handlers.
It wasn't drugs, it was the Rico laws started beign truly enforced giving mob guys football numbers in the can which at that point it wasn't a game like before when they would only get 1-3 years for their crimes.
@@Montoya1991 it was both (shout out wig splitter) the Rico and drug charges ensure no matter who you were in LCN if you were doing anything that made you decent money you were guaranteed 50 years drugs is a simple straight forward way for blue collar mob guys to make a decent living which is why it decimated the semi capable muscle end of LCN while the bosses administration and leading capos will get Rico charges and if you wanna be double fucked move drugs while being an upper echelon lol but that's the honest truth its like junior said guys that didn't get involved in drugs were eeking out a living doing hits moving swag while it was raining money in drugs like Henry Hill said guys in the can were telling him your idiot your fucking around with trailer trucks when you can get 2 shoe boxes of H and make as much money as 10 trailer trucks it's just like well fuck
2:10 I like little world-building lines like these. They're basically saying: yes, the Philadelphia mobsters is a thing and Tony is probably dealing with them a lot. We just won't show it so as to not confuse the viewers with too many characters and factions.
@@elvisrosado8121 Jesus man it's a joke my son has a slight lisp and even he thought some of the comments were funny, you must be a really boring and dense fucktard if you couldn't see that a) it's a character the actors playing which means he doesn't really talk like that and b) don't be a Sandy pussy your whole life... Now why don't you run along and cry somewhere else you fucking snowflake.
When you're putting your life on the line and betraying a bunch of dangerous people, having to do ANY jailtime in exchange for being a rat doesn't seem like a good deal. You'd think Pussy would have negotiated a deal where he didn't do any jailtime. Probably much easier to have a rat whacked in prison than on the outside where he could be anywhere.
thats a retarded take on things because you are conveniently glossing over the fact that he was "one of those dangerous people" and is only doing to save his own fucking skin
I feel like the feds in this show really shit the bed on the informants. They always asked too much of them and didn't deliver on what they promised the rats
Is it a smart move for Puss to be talking to an obvious FBI agent on his balcony which overlooks a large expanse of land to which the public has access? If Tony is suspicious, dont you think he might send one of his guys to surveil? He could use one of his own guys or hire a PI for $500/day to spy on him on the weekends. You could even set up a security cam there with a clear view of that balcony.
You'd think if he were somewhere he might be spotted, at least Skip would show up in a track suit with chest hair and gold chain showing instead of his FBI uniform.
Sal: "This is Fat Man." Skip: "Who?" This is a reference to Louis Lombardi's (Skip's actor's) previous role in the 1997 TV Series "EZ Streets" where he played a character named "Fat Man."
What makes it worse is that they laughed at her for the Tony blowjob story. Even though it wasn’t real they still couldn’t care less what happened to her.
3:08 the whole back and forth dialogue about glances. If it had a laugh track put over it, it would sound like a Seinfeld conversation about something absurd.
I actually felt bad for Big Puss in some of these instances, albeit he did it all to himself... but he became a man without a "country"... he needed to belong to something... which is why the entire grandiosity of his illusion turned disillusion to become a secret FBI agent appears so sad to me... truly a man with nothing left. sold out and no good place to buy into. oh and btw, I love you Borko. 😘

I read that right when he said it lol
Skip had the swagger for real.. Talking like a mobster with 'sal'... Those convo's were gold between them👌
He had that dog in him
Skip Lipari sounds like the white Mike Tyson
*Tython
I loved the the thread about how Pussy thought "Furio" was such a stupid name.
Stupida fucking name
Pussy is lucky he didn't have a bee on his hat.
@@Ammoniumbicarbonat That's why he changed it to Mr Williams
2:38 Now I understand why Puss desired a house by the ocean. Imagine all those years going out on the patio breathing that 1980s, 90s, early 2000s North Jersey air with a beautiful view of a cemetery. Youngsters these days will never appreciate driving on the NJ Turnpike and having to handcrank your window closed between the Carteret exit until the Ikea/Airport exit.
To the point where you recognized the power lines and rolled it up 1/2 mile out.
Lmao the interaction @5:38 is so funny to me. Big Puss and Skip’s relationship reminded me of a badass yet clumsy/goofy kid and a geeky probation officer. “Ahh what more can you say at this point” lmao
This guy could be Vito's brother.
Yea it’s super confusing. They should’ve just hired more actors.
eftichis or lover !!! Lmao
Clearly never seen Joey Diaz
He’s actually Jackie Aprile’s brother irl.
@@bry117 How is it confusing?
"No joke, Thal....you don't wanna thee my darker thide"
I owe you
We want results (spit coming out his mouth ) lol
@@tucko11 "WE WANT RETHULTHS, Puth..."
He really believed they might take him on as an FBI agent or something, such desperation.
I always crack up when Skip grabs Sal's toe like they're a couple. I wonder how close long time informants actually get with their law enforcement handlers.
Skip did mention Stockholm syndrome.
Julius I'm affraid to fall under the spell of your fuckin beautiful eyes!
@@Gu1d-0 Stop stealing my moves.
Heroin destroy the Mafia. lol godfather was right :D
No, it was snitching.
It wasn't drugs, it was the Rico laws started beign truly enforced giving mob guys football numbers in the can which at that point it wasn't a game like before when they would only get 1-3 years for their crimes.
@@Montoya1991 it was both (shout out wig splitter) the Rico and drug charges ensure no matter who you were in LCN if you were doing anything that made you decent money you were guaranteed 50 years drugs is a simple straight forward way for blue collar mob guys to make a decent living which is why it decimated the semi capable muscle end of LCN while the bosses administration and leading capos will get Rico charges and if you wanna be double fucked move drugs while being an upper echelon lol but that's the honest truth its like junior said guys that didn't get involved in drugs were eeking out a living doing hits moving swag while it was raining money in drugs like Henry Hill said guys in the can were telling him your idiot your fucking around with trailer trucks when you can get 2 shoe boxes of H and make as much money as 10 trailer trucks it's just like well fuck
The sopranos is also fiction that took things from The Godfather boss man
Greed and list for power destroyed the mafia lmao thats exactly what the democrats want also
2:10 I like little world-building lines like these. They're basically saying: yes, the Philadelphia mobsters is a thing and Tony is probably dealing with them a lot. We just won't show it so as to not confuse the viewers with too many characters and factions.
"You hit a 711 clerk"
How is he?
"in a coma"
FUCK
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Pussy was made 711 clerk wasn't
Fuckin hilarious
This is Fatman . For some reason Sal must’ve been watching 007 lol before he trailed Chrissy and called Skip
And they actually got him off too! Pussy totally fucked that clerk up
Haha! That killed me too. (2006 and 2022)
Skip looks like Vito's younger brother.
Skip being absolutely unsurprised by Puss name dropping Ray is such a good detail
honestly one of the best minor characters on the show.
They should have done more with him...
They should of put Skip as a wise guy instead of a fbi agent..
Yea his lisp would have made some serious moments a bit lighter
@@CocoKickz94 yall carevway to much about the way he speaks. Grow up. I never noticed it until you guys brought it up.i live in a world of children.
@@elvisrosado8121 Jesus man it's a joke my son has a slight lisp and even he thought some of the comments were funny, you must be a really boring and dense fucktard if you couldn't see that a) it's a character the actors playing which means he doesn't really talk like that and b) don't be a Sandy pussy your whole life... Now why don't you run along and cry somewhere else you fucking snowflake.
When you're putting your life on the line and betraying a bunch of dangerous people, having to do ANY jailtime in exchange for being a rat doesn't seem like a good deal. You'd think Pussy would have negotiated a deal where he didn't do any jailtime. Probably much easier to have a rat whacked in prison than on the outside where he could be anywhere.
thats a retarded take on things because you are conveniently glossing over the fact that he was "one of those dangerous people" and is only doing to save his own fucking skin
Should had never pushed that H or just went to jail.
I feel like the feds in this show really shit the bed on the informants. They always asked too much of them and didn't deliver on what they promised the rats
I liked Skip a lot. His actor definitely could’ve played either side of the law on this show or any show
“Thirty to life for thellin’ aich”
Skip strikes me more as a street smart local cop on the OC task force than a type A Quantico overachiever.
Skip acts like a Wiseguy gangster.
Like Tony's doppelganger working for the feds.
I love how the government doesn’t mind when someone else gets killed as long as their guy can keep feeding them information.
I love how people overuse the phrase "I love how" in reference to circumstances that amuse them.
@@stepbacklame6176 me too lol, I love how people do that lol great comment I never noticed that lmao …
@@stepbacklame6176 It's an expression, calm down.
@@stepbacklame6176 take a xan and relax white boy
Is it a smart move for Puss to be talking to an obvious FBI agent on his balcony which overlooks a large expanse of land to which the public has access? If Tony is suspicious, dont you think he might send one of his guys to surveil? He could use one of his own guys or hire a PI for $500/day to spy on him on the weekends. You could even set up a security cam there with a clear view of that balcony.
I think you're a paranoid fuck with no friends.
You'd think if he were somewhere he might be spotted, at least Skip would show up in a track suit with chest hair and gold chain showing instead of his FBI uniform.
FBI dont give a shit about pussy's safety
I think Tony wouldn't want to do that cuz he was in denial. He loved Pussy so much he didn't wanna believe he flipped, even though he knew.
Well, Tony was suspicious enough that he had Newark Detective Makazian feed him info that Bonpensiero was wired for sound.
I died laughing when he said they were stealing pokemon cards hahahaha
This guy is a really decent actor, this is a far cry from his friendly Edgar in 24
He also played the 1-800-1go-free lawyer in the 3000 miles to graceland movie. Pretty funny character.
"No joke Thal, you don't wanna thee my darker thide"
Oooooh, I just thit my panths.
could you imagine Skip being Adriana's handler?
Adriana and *her* handler - now THAT was a completely different kind of relationship!
If I'm her handler... no joke. She is opening her legs a few times for me!
He would have fucked her non stop!
"He smothered little Cothette!?"
2:51 "quick snort of coke" 2:54 "coke activated"
😂
Sal: "This is Fat Man."
Skip: "Who?"
This is a reference to Louis Lombardi's (Skip's actor's) previous role in the 1997 TV Series "EZ Streets" where he played a character named "Fat Man."
It's the screenwriters subtly trying to make him lose some weight.
The feds were some of the worst scumbags in the show, especially with what they did to Adrianna.
Worse has been done by law enforcement in the US.
Absolutely.
What makes it worse is that they laughed at her for the Tony blowjob story. Even though it wasn’t real they still couldn’t care less what happened to her.
@@Potatotenkopf That's the FBI.
3:08 the whole back and forth dialogue about glances. If it had a laugh track put over it, it would sound like a Seinfeld conversation about something absurd.
Puss Costanza and Jerry Skipfeld
I actually felt bad for Big Puss in some of these instances,
albeit he did it all to himself...
but he became a man without a "country"... he needed to belong to something...
which is why the entire grandiosity of his illusion turned disillusion to become a secret FBI agent appears so sad to me...
truly a man with nothing left. sold out and no good place to buy into.
oh and btw, I love you Borko. 😘
Incorrect use of albeit
"They were gonna pinch you for leaving the scene of a near fatal hit and run, but I got you out of it"
This guy & Noah Tannenbaum should have their own show.
He could throw Noel into a wood chipper as a Salute to modernity.
Hasidic homeboy
"Sal, don't be dat way" as he playfully pinched his toe?! 😆😂🤣
"Fucking guy thinks I'm his friend now."
Funny thing is these two actors have known each other since they were about 14 years old.
Skip Lipari has the makings of a varsity parade float.
At uh weast he’s duh talian, tuhwhy being past hova buhwhy uh Samoan , SARs shogga
These FBI guys like Skip look and sound like gangsters.
Like Jack Nicholson said in The Departed about Cops and Criminals. “At the end of the Day when you’re facing a loaded gun from either side, what’s the difference????”
“Common courtesy, I have a life outside of this you know.”
“Yeah? Lucky you.”
I cant give this video a thumbs up because you left out the Elvis dude interruption
And the part where he says Big Pussy is probably compost by now.
see you round, baby.
Grabs hammer and comes in for a coffee*
Borko makes the best soprano videos on youtube...facts
Well, thanks, really, but "competition" isn't tough at all :D they all make 2 or 3 minutes videos with just one particular scene.
Andre Thomas and let's not forget his anger over his name"leotardo"yh I think self loathing manifested itself into some fucked up shit with phil
“Don’t go pulling my taffy “ LMAO 😂
LMFAO THE TITLE
LMTAO
I don't know why, but this is my favourite Sopranos supercut on youtube. Could watch it every day.
For sure! These 2 produce nothing but gold.
“Since Moses wore short panths.”
Skip was given this role after consideration for the part of Vito..... Fact!
@Rommel the Cat Will you take it easy over there! Fuckin Judge Roy Bean!
" DIZZY from all that hair spray "
That shit was so TRUE !
They should have featured the pokeyman cards more in the show, they were a great character.
Loool
