Bobby is like Gary Cooper, the strong silent type. That's why Tony resented and teased him.
That's a great call
He was the strong silent type ... once Tony shoved dat' quotations book up his ass
He’s even a good father and husband, is Bobby. Still kind of an idiot and susceptible to lowest-common-denominator American prejudices/racism, but generally a good guy.
Honestly, the most shocking and surprising thing to me in the entire series is that the lake house fight between Tony and Bobby didn’t end up differently- I.e. with Bobby dead. I get it, kids, married to Janice, almost necessary for Tony to keep around, but given Tony’s rage and pride…. I’m still amazed by it
@@good-questions tony was in his darkest phase then, too. His mother thru & thru with toxicity, with father’s vices. Good point
Furio was more like Gary Cooper than Tony.
Definitely! But they ultimately turned his character into a sniveling pussy too! He must have pissed the writers off? For them to do his character like they did! Went from a total badass to a straight simp who cried over a women he never so much as kissed!
Even then he shows that the strong silent type is actually a very lonely existence
I think to that scene where both Tony and Furio are making dinner alone. Tony reheats pasta qnd drinks it with milk meanwhile Furio makes a whole meal from scratch and pairs it with a wine. Furio takes initiative and puts in effort while Tony dines on other people's hard work
But despite their differences both characters are in the same position, in their empty houses feeling deeply alone. Great storytelling
thats why Carmela wanted his braciole
@@SoftDrinksOfChoice 🤣
Tony was more like Gravy Coopuh, eh eh eh
To be fair Tony never said he was The strong silent type, he wanted to be the strong silent type but didn't know that in order to be the strong silent you need to control your emotions and not allow your emotions control you.
100%
"NOW WHO CAME IN HERE AND ATE MY SHIT!"
Paulie's (silent, gestural) response is priceless. That's the punchline to that exchange.
Suddenly Paulie (of all people) is the rational, collected one of the two.
Yet again, the genius of the show on display in a totally inconsequential five second comedic beat.
I mean, I'd also be highly fuckin outraged if someone actually ate my literal shit
The funnier part that didnt show is that christopher immediatly exited the room when tpny entered since he probably ate it and knows whats coming
All I know is he never had the makings of a Gary Cooper.
Very good 😅
Of a varsity Gary Cooper
@@DMAGAEscober there is no JV Gary Cooper.
He was gay, Gary Cooper?
Tony Soprano ‘romantized’ old Hollywood actors and movies. Your assessment of Tony as a ‘complainer extroidineer’ was spot on. The Sopranos remains my favorite TV drama of all time.👏👏
i mean imagine being raised by Livia😭
I seriously can't believe I didn't notice this about the show!
I always thought it was ironic because Cooper always played characters who were in touch with their emotions. Sure, he wasn't blubbering all over the place but he knew when to express himself. Take for example, High Noon, he spends the majority of that movie seeking out help but getting turned down. He gets desperate. Again, you don't see him breaking down or anything, he keeps his emotions bottled up but you see he's upset and its tearing apart especially since its suppose to be the happiest day of his life - his wedding day!
Just imagine how boring the series would have been if Gary Cooper played the part of Tony Soprano
💯
this video literally captures all the ironic comedic essence that makes the sopranos so special to watch. thanks bro💯!
Thank you very much. Cheers!
“Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” is the lowest form of film analysis.
Brilliant! :)
RIP James Gandolfini
I wonder if he was a Twin Peaks fan.
“The gabbagoul you like is coming back in style.”
May he be at peace.
Every time I hear your voice, I think of this guy named Rummy that makes the best boxing videos.
Same guy bro lol
Tony's like a weeb when he starts talk when he starts talking about Gary Cooper. Like those kids in middle school who start believing their Goku or Naruto.
Yeah.. and?
@@hans5500 its weird and cringe
@@hans5500it shows how unhinged they are, totally disconnected from reality
I watched this show because of these videos, this is the first one I get to watch actually in the loop 🙏
Tony Soprano never had the makings of a varsity athlete
WHAT DID I JUST SAY?! AJ get your coat
Gary Cooper had the makings of a varsity football player.
The way he says "the shtrong silent tyPe"
when mentioned “Tony didn’t have the best luck with Chinese food” don’t know why but I was dying inside 😂
lol i still think there should've been a scene where Melfi starts renting and watching Gary Cooper movies to understand what Tony is talking about!
But he was dreaming of that lo mein all the f**k the way over there!🤬
No one could keep their cool in that situation... not even The Great Gary Cooper !
🤣
Tony developed a habit of inflicting fear of him on others
basiclly a bully
He was gay, Tony Cooper?
First of all - glad to see you’re still making videos. I’m wondering if, now that you’ve gotten some time + distance from The Return, if you’re willing to revisit some of your theories and make any additions, subtractions, addendums… those videos were *tight.*
Second of all - this is a great point about the irony of Tony’s character and how audiences can be deceived. I think there are a lot of people who (consciously or unconsciously) think of Tony as exemplifying the “strong, silent type” simply because he’s a powerful man who is in the habit of getting what he wants. It’s crazy how willing people are to heap praise on men who display these qualities. Mindless!
The show-runners were too successful in making Tony likable - the big sin of the Sopranos. If you like Tony too much your swooning may distract you from some of the finer points of the character, like the one WLW makes here.
I think he's fascinating but not really likable. He's funny sometimes in a "because it's not real" kinda way but he's certainly no Dale Cooper, now he is the king of "likable".
Twin Peaks is the greatest.
Dale is incredibly likable, but there’s a lot of dark and weird shit going on with him, too. Especially 2nd season.
I'm actually almost dead in the middle of a complete Twin Peaks review. I'm getting towards the end of S2, and hope to have a Peaks video done in the next week or two. Once I finish S2 and get through FWWM and The Return, I'm planning to do something along the lines of exactly what you're suggesting here.
"Melfi didn't exactly have to twist his arm to get him going."
Hhahaahhahaahah!!
This is a great video, and very very funny! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much.
Tony like most of us wished he was as tough as the greatest generation was.
But, like all of us we fall short of it.
That super dooper threw me off 😂
"He was gay, Gary Cooper?"
NO!
Robert Mitchum had died recently when they filmed the scene when Janice swatted the mosquito, hence Tony's joke about him being reincarnated. But the Annette Bening connection is very insightful, well spotted.
This is my favorite show in the World. My husband says, he sees why. I don't have power or a crew. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you for actually analyzing his character. Most of these types of videos just summarize his actions and events.
Thanks for the entertaining content Johnny Knoxville.
Gary Cooper was a real come behind kind of guy.
Tony loved Gary Cooper like a brother-in-law.
“Cunnilingus and psychiatry brought us to _this.”_
A phrase uttered by many a fallen monarch.
16:34 - As much as I love all your videos, it’s the Twin Peaks cameos that keep drawing me back…
I didn't see it the way that Tony saw himself as Gary Cooper. He wanted to be like him and saw attributes in Gary that he himself lacked. That's why he looks up to him.
Tony is more of a Tyrant, he is a villain really. But a competent mobster, and nobody can deny the dude is a fighter, corageous and many times were other mobsters would hide behind thugs to do their violent biddings, Tony would do it himself. He had guts.
TOOOOONY'S COOOOORNERRRR
Would be an awesome intro lol
You forgot about when tony flipped out about the imported provolone
He never had the makings of a Gary Cooper.
Does this guy also do Rummy’s Corner boxing channel?
ye
I found Rummy's Corner much later than this channel. Man's got a great voice I'd listen to him talk about anything
He knows shit about boxing
Peace! Wow 😮 Lynch…😆😎Bergen County’s Finest deciphering Tony Soprano..from Tenafly to Westwood, NJ…bravo..
Why tf my fav boxing youtuber here all of a sudden
What hesch said is true, sleep always helps.
It's such a pity that there aren't TV shows like these to analyze anymore. And if they exist, I can't find them 😂
truly
Breaking Bad
@@thereisnosanctuary6184 Like I didn't watch it ahah
@@thereisnosanctuary6184Sopranos came in 1999-2007 and Breaking Bad 2008-2012, so the former is 16 years old and latter 11yo.
Thank you for this video, Patsi fucking Parisi over here
Tony never had the makings of gary cooper
Ecclesiastes 7-10 "Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is not wise to ask such questions."
Tony possessed every single flaw in human character. His lack of impulse control and his hypocrisy were the worst though.
He wasn't Michael Corleone either.
He was Tony Soprano, Gary Cooper?
You know who was the strong silent type? My girl Svetlana 😍
Wow,
Wow Lynch Wow!,
Wow!
To be fair, I'd bitch about MY mother, too, if I were Tony Soprano.
Rummy? Is that you?
Didn’t know Butch started his own Soprano’s analysis channel
What I got from this was a couple of three things....😂. 1.) James and Tony and myself are Virgos. Both our birthday's are Sept. 18th. Happy Birthday James. B.) We are both Napolitano Italian descendants. 3.) We have BPD tendencies, get rattled easily, are often quite moody f#cks. Especially when it comes to food and sex. 😅
How many times has tony lost his mind and flipped out and then we see the rest of the crew just standing around like wtf was that about. Also I’m not defending Ralph cause he’s a sick bastard and I could definitely see him killing the horse for the insurance money but at the same time tony has no right to be flipping out on him and saying how it’s weird that he doesn’t seem too bothered by it I mean at the time Ralph’s kid was in the hospital in really bad shape so even a good guy wouldn’t really care about a horse cause all he would be worried about is his son so is it really that surprising that Ralph of all ppl seems unbothered.
Hello, great video. I wanted to ask something. How do you think a showdown between Tony Soprano and Daniel Plainview would go? I mean, in a showdown of words. And while we are at it, in a no holds barred street fight?
He wishes he was Gary Cooper. He couldn't pull it off. This frustrated him a lot
You know who Gary Cooper is? He is Tony Soprano's Shadow. Tony is a puer aeternus that is overwhelmed by a devouring mother. He romanticises and fantasises about a man of action like Gary Cooper but he himself never converts this dream into a reality. The qualities he sees in Gary Cooper he actively resents and becomes jealous of in figures like Furio and Bobby.
Instead he throws temper tantrums and addles himself with food, alcohol, drugs and women. A Don Juan who has no routine and discipline and cannot commit to something wholeheartedly.
Tony Sopranos Gary Cooper is the modern man's Ryan Gosling.
He was gay Tony Soprano?
Noooooo!!! Are you even listening!?!
You sound like you should be narrating Storage Wars lol
Tony Soprano vs Tyson Fury we want a fight preview!
Keep making Sopranos videos!
Great stuff!…. Rummy may not know shit about boxing, but rummy knows ‘The Sopranos’
Wanna know who was the ‘Strong, silent type’?!…
His mother. With what that women went though.
Rumy?! You have another channel?
Sil is actually the strong silent type apart from when he was boss
He's the loud explosive type lol can't handle his emotions to save his life
lets see gary coopers card
Great breakdown
Tony como um chefe da mafia, é o que teria sido Sonny Corleone caso ele tivesse sobrevivido e se tornado o chefe da família corleone
Patsy, Furio, and Carmine Sr. were all strong silent archetypes.
Cooper was on the side of the Law.
The Cop was a Gary Cooper
That chicks "connection" ti cooper was a random stretch.
❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
He Was Gay Gary Cooper Noooooo Are you Listening To ME!!!!!! 😂🤣- Highly Tyjie
It would be Ryan gosling today ? I drive.
Imagine being Tonys celly..
Anger is masculine! Hence Tony's point about Gary cooper
not disagreeing with the main point but I dont think Tony was ever not gonna whack Ralphie in that scene
poppahs and wierd shex - Anthony Tony Soprano
Tony was a pretty pathetic character when you really think about it.
89% of Tony’s problems are his own.
Tony never comes to grips with what he’s actually fighting for. He admits the era of the Mob is coming to an end but tony never seems to gravitate his life away from it
He bitches against the decline of tradition ,class and values but he conducts himself as a adulterous vulgar bully no class whatsoever.
Tony is not the strong silent type. Bobby was the strong silent type
He was Tony, Gary Soprano?
The sopranos is the anti good fellas. I love gangster media. The brash and raw edged movies were hyper bombastic. The idea of stretching that premise with an irrational thug who is suffering from not having an audience to his every whim gives him panic attacks. I watched the series and felt robbed by not witnessing the deaths of the sopranos clan. Seeing them get splattered to don't stop believing is my fan dream enfong
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s just a movie, Tony. You have to grow up.
is that an ai voice?
Super duper 😂
whaddabout Luke Skywalker?
Whatever happened?
--he died 😐
soy boys in comments crying abt tony
He was gay, Gary Cooper?
Bisexual. Prolific bisexual. But he did walk the walk and talk the talk of being that masculine archetype. But not the weirdo fantasy version of it Tony cooked up in his head. Much less toxic
He was gay, gary coopah?
He was gay, Tony Soprano??
…he was gay gary cooper?
I suspect Gary Cooper might even have been a Varsity athlete.
AJ get your coat
He certainly had the makings of one.
Small hands. That was his problem
