Unless it's during gambling, discrimination against Italians, anything that gets in the way of the jets first home game, or when a stripper who owes him money disappears for days
The scene where Tony finally goes to visit Sil in the hospital and his loving wife (in both real life and Sopranos) is there clipping his toenails, ever loyal to her man. No words are spoken, she just looks at Tony and smiles and then Tony takes Sil's hand (mirroring the time Tony was in a coma and Silvio took his hand).
No way… You quoted a line from the video that you were watching and then put it in the comments?? Has anyone ever done this before?? Oh yeah, only everyone.
@@evangelionl0vr857 I don’t think he’s hating.. lol. I think he’s just saying it’s funny that Sil had to write down 3 lines and couldn’t memorize them lol
IDC what anyone says, Silvio Dante was the Fuckin Man lol. For his 1st time ever acting, Van Zandt killed it season after season. Oooohhhh... Gaba-GOOOL? OVVAAAA HEEEAAAAA
Absolutely. Not only that but he was the rock for that entire family. The Bing was his and that was their headquarters and everybody respected him, even Tony.
He just showed up to set one day and started impersonating pacino, and they just shot around him. That’s when David Chase decided to add Silvio’s character to the story.
My favorite silvio moment was when he became the interim boss of the family when tony went to the hospital, and after all the stress silvio ends up in the hospital himself
Silvio was hilarious. The way he carried himself, his dry humor, his disgusted mannerisms when something fucked up was said or done. He was reacting with the viewers and it was great!
I have so many old school Italian relatives that actually think that way. My cousin came out to his parents as gay back in 1993, it was the last time that they ever spoke. My own mother told me, at the time I was a 13 year old kid, that if I ever said anything like that to her that I should just forget that I even have a mother. Sure it's funny to watch, but it's sad cause this shit is real. I thank God that I never had to hide my sexuality, or confront my parents cause I was lucky enough to be born straight. If I wasn't so lucky, I wouldn't be talking to my mom or been allowed at my father's funeral, just like my poor cousin.
His little spat with Paulie while they were in the Bing was hilarious, they both stood up at exactly the same time facing each other, there was the customary OOOOHHHWWWW, thrown in for good measure, brilliant stuff.
You forgot one of Sil's funniest ever lines when Tone told them about Vito sandbagging him... "That's the thing with the Gays...still living in the closet...makes them devious!"
Steve Turowski That’s what makes the scene so funny. The music instantly making them think of Raging Bull. It also greatly shows how close these two people are. They instantly go there simultaneously.
I think it's funny because, besides the delivery, it's the context. They're speaking at an intervention where they are supposed to be somewhat sensitive and encouraging.
Because everyone else is talking about how they’ve been hurt by Chris’ addiction and Silvio just expresses disgust that his hair was in the toilet water 😂
He was up for the role of Tony until James Gandolfini nailed it. I'm glad though because he was brilliant as Silvio. His real life wife also played his on screen wife Gabriella.
“Last year I made bail so fast my soup was still warm when I got home.” Silvio is funny as hell but the man is also a stone cold gangster. He’s 110% in this game.
Silvio's character was great to watch throughout those six seasons. Silvio is the BEST choice as a right hand man. A King Is Only As Good As His Counsel
"What's with the fuckin' _accounting_ out there?!" has to be one of the greatest lines in history. Best line, best delivery. And not just television -- movies, plays, poems, novels, documentaries, weather reports, greeting cards, menus, instruction manuals. Everything.
I think Silvio was one of my favorite characters in The Sopranos! Straight soldier up until the end. The guy that plays Sil in The Sopranos movie his mannerisms were dead on point
I love the scene from season 1 episode 2 where Chris and Brendan Jack the suit shipment. Syl puts one of the suits on and says "Tony you think anyone will notice if one of these goes missing?" His body language and accent and the way he looks so grim with his frown and his hard ass but cool guy look is what makes him such a great character. I find him equally as hilarious as Paulie.
Still amazing that this was Steven Van Zandt’s first acting job. To this day, he says that he can’t believe he was on the show - says he’s just a musician.
Going in to this compilation, you had to know that Silvio's cheese speech was going to be in the top three. Masterpiece joke and delivery. A brilliant set of clips.
I love how Tony always says "Whatever happened to Gary Cooper?", reminds me of people I know who always go on the same rant whenever they possibly can lol
Love his frown and his 'Swaying', and the way he 'Pivots' his head slightly back and forth. Looks like a 'Buddha' in motion...a form of external meditation on the most pressing problem to be solved...like a real pro. Love you Silvio.
oh yeah, wow, that part where he was beating up the stripper and telling her that she belongs to him. Fookin hilarious. Comedy gold. You can tell that scene was put into the show for levity. no doubt about it.
@Ajax Aidy oooh, edgy comment. Quick wit there. But you see, your comment was an actual joke whereas the scene I'm talking about just shows a woman being brutalized. Notice the difference?
A) it's a fictional show. Calm down. B) if you are going to make the argument that it glorifies violence towards women and thereby causes violence towards women, then recognize that essentially is the same argument congress tried to make in the 1980's against rap music- it glorifies and therefore causes violence towards cops. Or against heavy metal in the 90's- it causes suicide. Or against rock n roll in the 50's. It causes delinquency and promiscuity. Or against video games today- they desensitize kids and make them violence prone.
@@jsmith4094 I wasn't saying any of that. I'm not making a moral point so much as I'm saying the scene is out of place with the theme of the video. The title of video is "Hilarious moments." The only other scene with any kind of violence is when he shoots Jimmy Altieri and he at least makes a quip before he offs him. In the scene Im talking about its not like he says something clever, he just smacks her around. Was there some joke in there I missed?
@@TheWonderStraw I would say in the context of the show that counts as a humorous line. I mean, #3 was silvio casually deciding someone should die, not a basically funny premise, but in the context of the show, that line does take on a humorous aspect. Also I would say that it is an art form, and like all art, a person's interpretation is subjective. What some see as beautiful, others see as ugly. What some see as humorous, others might find the same somewhat disturbing.
Sil is BY FAR my FAVORITE character on The Sopranos. His voice, the way he moves, his look, I love it all. And the fuckin fact that Stevie had never acted before and did so well in a major TV series is fuckin AMAZING.
Silvio was always the strong, silent type that Tony so admired.
Unless it's during gambling, discrimination against Italians, anything that gets in the way of the jets first home game, or when a stripper who owes him money disappears for days
or when he's acting boss
What happened to Gary Cooper?
@@joesickler5888 He died

No words are spoken, she just looks at Tony and smiles and then Tony takes Sil's hand (mirroring the time Tony was in a coma and Silvio took his hand).
Tony: “Let me ask you a question. You think Ralph’s a little weird about women?”

Sil "For just.... I forget.....what was it again?"

Yeah that’s kinda priceless!
Every leader needs a Silvio Dante as their right hand man.
True indeed
Redgrin Grumboldt
I concur
And Paulie
Yes and he would make a great guitar player in a rock band?
@@prince_sach50 no not paulie
IDC what anyone says, Silvio Dante was the Fuckin Man lol. For his 1st time ever acting, Van Zandt killed it season after season. Oooohhhh... Gaba-GOOOL? OVVAAAA HEEEAAAAA
Hes a cartoon character, a walking stereotype.
Absolutely. Not only that but he was the rock for that entire family.
The Bing was his and that was their headquarters and everybody respected him, even Tony.
Consigliere the voice of reason
For sure...
You should check out Lillyhammer on Netflix....
If you dig Sylvio..
Who would say any different? Silvio was loved and respected by everyone. Always.
Amazing how Van Zandt did such a good job in this role with no prior acting experience
He's overacting a lot, but it only makes his character better
And still had time to play in Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. He now had his own Sirius channel.
Ricky Roma David Chase just liked him. So much so that he originally wanted him for Tony (until JG cane along and nailed it), but it’s not nepotism.
He acted on stage his whole life before
He just showed up to set one day and started impersonating pacino, and they just shot around him. That’s when David Chase decided to add Silvio’s character to the story.
The little boxing moment at the table. You know Sil and T are besties.
Raging Bull reference.

Sil kinda looks like a parody of al pacino
Silvio was hilarious. The way he carried himself, his dry humor, his disgusted mannerisms when something fucked up was said or done. He was reacting with the viewers and it was great!
Arguably one of the best characters in the show and the dude wasnt even an actor before he was on Sopranos.
Unless I am mistaken neither was Vincent Curatola (Johnny Sack)
@@jeffthebracketman Really? the actor for Johnny Sack was incredible. I didn't know that. One of the best actors on the show. No way.
@@jeffthebracketman Actually Vincent had previous acting experience.

Fun fact as well he was on the short list to play Tony himself but when Gandolfini beat him out Silvio was created for him
"Your hair was in the toilet water. Disgusting."
"I was there, he was not feeling well" Tony
@@carmelosgro6413 I said my piece, Crissy!
"It was in the toilet water".
@@andrewwabik7919 was it barking?
His delivery of that line is so good 😁
Silvio is the most trusted member of the Soprano Clan. He does what he needs to do without questioning Tony.

"I dunno tone... I mean ehhh he beat one to death" 🤷🏾♂️🤣
Just for ehhhh... I forget, what was it again?
"In my line of business I'm around allot of women, and that one.. Ain't getting laid".
That's my favourite Silvio line.
About Vito’s wife?
@@James-jg4xmYes
Silvio was Tony's most loyal. It didn't dawn on me how cold he really was until he killed Adrianna 😭
I must be loyle to my capo
Tony knew Silvio was the right man for that job, and seemed the least suspicious to Adrianna to 'go on a drive' with him.
Not once did you ever sit and wonder if Sil would double cross Tony. Loyal to the core!
should be how cold Silvio *could be
lol I thought he was cold when they killed Pussy
Best Sil line ever. “Say what you want about Richie Aprile, but when he found out his son was gay, he did the right thing; he disowned him”
Not Jackie. Richie aprile
lol fax
That line made me die
I have so many old school Italian relatives that actually think that way. My cousin came out to his parents as gay back in 1993, it was the last time that they ever spoke.

And again and again and again 😄😄😄
@@RubHerSoul1 "rewind" :P

"That's the thing with the Gays...still living in the closet...makes them devious!"
Don’t forget when Chris was getting made… “ee sat on one ass cheek the whole way ovah!!!”
I always loved that scene where Tony and Silvio started like,
"slow motion" play boxing,
you can't write chemistry like that....
What episode is that?
Steve Turowski That’s what makes the scene so funny. The music instantly making them think of Raging Bull. It also greatly shows how close these two people are. They instantly go there simultaneously.
Matthew French the last or second to last episode
They were in danger of getting killed at any moment...and they could not resist fooling around.... brilliant!
Iron Man It was Gary Cooper, that scene?
That line at Chris’s intervention makes me laugh so hard. I can’t explain why exactly, but so good
For me its the fact that he wrote that down on cue cards.
I think it's funny because, besides the delivery, it's the context. They're speaking at an intervention where they are supposed to be somewhat sensitive and encouraging.
Because everyone else is talking about how they’ve been hurt by Chris’ addiction and Silvio just expresses disgust that his hair was in the toilet water 😂
That whole scene is just hilarious...Sil pushing the councilor out of the way to get to Chris..lol
Sil took his tiny grievance so seriously haha
‘What’s with all that accounting out there?!’
Hahahaha
I love how he's often at his desk gluing something back together, when the guys come out back.
Brilliant character
I heard he didn't have any acting experience. Unbelievable...hes a natural...brilliant
He was up for the role of Tony until James Gandolfini nailed it. I'm glad though because he was brilliant as Silvio. His real life wife also played his on screen wife Gabriella.
He's had a front row seat to Bruce for years, that would inspire anybody to succeed.
@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 man i really cant see him playing Tony tbh, id love to see it still but he was too perfect to be Sil.
OMG Becky's 🧁🤪🥳😁
Tony’s face when Sil went on that rant during the card game will always be my favorite part of the show. That entire part was GOLD
"Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in."

Silvio was essentially the glue to the soprano family. He held it all together, he was like Draymond green and Tony was Curry.
Gabagoo? Ova hereee
*Gabagool*
👇🏻👇🏻
No more gabagool, the doctor says it’s bad for your heart.
Silvio is the epitome of what the stereotypical wiseguy looks like. He’s bordering on being a walking caricature. 😂
That frown could say so much, without saying a word. He played that character flawlessly.
Silvio Dante was my favorite crew member. Never annoying and either wise or funny.
'Yeah zebra, I'm talking to you!' Silvio, all of them: gold!
"I've said my peace chrissy" lmao
“I genuinely don’t think, there’s anything to gain, by keeping him around” best line ever 😂
Silvio always had the best frown through every scene.
“Gabagooooo? Ova heeeeeeaah!”
Lmao
Where is the Joey Peeps headstone mistake??
"fucking Jason, he's dyslexic"
I agree.
Right!
Arthur Tsiflidis that’s nice that you agree but I’m not running a popularity contest
Silvio was the most loyal and didn't talk shit behind Tony's back which is why Tony trusted him the most.
He was the talk less, do more, kind of guy.
Steven Van Zant was the perfect casting choice. He's always been a trusted loyal right hand man to both his BOSS-es.
Silvio at the interventio..THE BEST!!!
Lillehammer is worth a watch. Mafia moves to Norway on witness protection and sets up a new mob basically
Season 1 was outstanding. Twisted humor just like the Sopranos.
Silvio always had great style.
He’s my favorite character on the show.
Silvio's character was great to watch throughout those six seasons. Silvio is the BEST choice as a right hand man. A King Is Only As Good As His Counsel
“Last year I made bail so fast my soup was still warm when I got home” is an all time quote
"What's with the fuckin' _accounting_ out there?!" has to be one of the greatest lines in history. Best line, best delivery. And not just television -- movies, plays, poems, novels, documentaries, weather reports, greeting cards, menus, instruction manuals. Everything.

I think Silvio was one of my favorite characters in The Sopranos! Straight soldier up until the end. The guy that plays Sil in The Sopranos movie his mannerisms were dead on point
When he asks finn about Vito cornering him in the porter potty the way he asks it cracks me up 😂 😂 😂 😂
“Yea zebra, I’m talking to you!” I laughed so hard. I gotta use that sometime.
I love the scene from season 1 episode 2 where Chris and Brendan Jack the suit shipment. Syl puts one of the suits on and says "Tony you think anyone will notice if one of these goes missing?" His body language and accent and the way he looks so grim with his frown and his hard ass but cool guy look is what makes him such a great character. I find him equally as hilarious as Paulie.
They were such the perfect duo to be right hands for Tony
That laugh of Paulies is funnier than anything .
The bread museum joke still kills me every time
I want his perfect hair!
Matthew Cardoza pretty sure its a wig. Lmao
Lloydy OHHH!
I thought that the whole series. Then realised it was a wig😅
It is a wig. He has long hair and plays in Bruce Springsteen's band.
Genie hes bald thats why you wont see a photo without a bandana

Just when I thought I was out they pull me back in again...love it Sill no one can say it like you haha
The Sopranos is pretty awesome

Still amazing that this was Steven Van Zandt’s first acting job. To this day, he says that he can’t believe he was on the show - says he’s just a musician.

The Gary Cooper scene kills me every time 😂
Going in to this compilation, you had to know that Silvio's cheese speech was going to be in the top three. Masterpiece joke and delivery. A brilliant set of clips.
My favorite is when Tony walks into the bing and Silvio is reading "How to clean practically anything" 😂

I love how Tony always says "Whatever happened to Gary Cooper?", reminds me of people I know who always go on the same rant whenever they possibly can lol
Christopher was my first favorite character, but Silvio is TRULY my favorite of the whole show, a legend
"Have a cookie, you're delerious " I gotta use THAT one. Thanks, Paulie❤
