The guy who played carmine junior did an excellent job as a dumb smart guy. It’s actually hilarious how he could say meaningless lines that were obvious to everyone in the most satirical ways.
He came out on top in the end, and played everyone even his own father. I think he kept playing dumb, while in fact just played everyone else and kept out of shot.
"The fundamental question is, will I be as effective as a boss like my dad was? And I will be, even more so. But until I am, it's going to be hard to verify that I think I'll be more effective."
It was after Angelo got whacked that Little Carmine decided to step down. Then after Rusty got whacked, Little Carmine basically retired. His life was so happy after that and even his father told him in a dream how it was the right choice.
“And I predict the guys on the street in Brooklyn and Queens, they’ll welcome us as fucking heroes. It’ll be easy.” Amazing little hat-tip there to Dick Cheney’s predictions about going into Iraq, positioning Little Carmine as George W. Bush.
@@ceerious Hmm, don’t think I’ve seen your video. I generally knew that Little Carmine was a cross between John Gotti’s son and George W. Bush, so that put Rusty as his Dick Cheney.
Rusty was not much of a character. David Chase, and Stevie Van Zandt, were huge fans and Chase used several Four Season’s songs in the soundtrack and even the title of one episode (Big Girls Don’t Cry, S2-E5), so Chase paid homage to Frankie Valli and wrote him a ‘little’ character. As Phil Leotardo called him: “The Mayor of Munchkin Land!”
@@ceerious ive seen the gleasson video of course but at least tony didnt want to exploit tony b in that one he was just concerd about hes apearence infront of the guys
This was probably a mistake. Carmine as Rusty's puppet was probably better for Tony to work with than Phil who took over after Johnny Sack died and wanted revenge for his 20 years in the can
@@POLO2O10-z I love his character for some reason lol. And the deadpan, not even feigning a smile when that Animal Blundetto tells his joke is hilarious.
Frankie Valli and Rusty lived in the same universe. I wish wish there was one Frankie Valli reference. For example "You know our friend over there Frankie Valli" Tony: "Hey Rusty where are the Four Seasons"
If Carmine Junior was a 'dumb smart guy,' then Tony B was definitely a 'smart dumb guy.' Him doing that silly Honeymooners routine, coupled with reading someone else's comment, convinced me.
Interesting point. Tony B mentions how he's essentially teaching himself med school for his massage license, only to throw his massage parlour away before it even opens because he's already sick of working hard - relative to his mob friends. Meanwhile Carmine Jr. is actively backing away from his mob life to seek happiness as mentioned in his mellifluous box dream
@@brettlessard2532 Yea I buy that Tony B is quite intelligent, but he makes probably the worst decisions on the show. I don't think IQ is a big help in the world of criminal brutality
@@hansolo631 Tony B caused sil to get wacked down the line because of his actions. He caused too much friction between jersey and New York that eventually led to all our war. Can't let Paulie running his own gossip column to john slip either he didn't make the situation any better.
Frankie Valli was the barber of Gyp De Carlo who was in the Genovese family and ran Newark. That's why he actually got paid royalties on his record and the reason him and Bob Gaudio still own the four seasons catalog and name and publishing. Tommy Devito and Nick Massi were both hijackers and burglars/heist men and associates. Frankie Valli was also very good friends with Fat Andy Ruggiano and Paulie Vario. The connections.were definitely to his benefit he didn't get taken advantage of like most people in the music industry did back then.
He only talked about making grilled cheese on the radiator but only from a culinary perspective, trying to teach the boys how to make a meal without a stove to save time and money he was always looking out for everyone that uncle philly @@Randafari
I was shocked that Rusty came and went quick. But I guess it was Frankie doing his Jersey Boy thing and couldn't commit to further episodes. When I see hm though, I immediately think, "Grease is the word... it's got groove it's got a meaning."
Wrong Frankie.. F Avalon was the guy who sang “Beauty School Dropout” in Grease and was the Beach Blanket Bingo star as a young guy w Annette Funicello.
On Talking Sopranos, Frankie said David Chase initially considered Frankie for the role of Beansie but thought better of it. Chase was right. Paul Herman was great as Beansie and I wouldn't have wanted to see Frankie swearing and getting run over, getting threatened, ending up in a wheelchair, looking week and getting bested by Richie and so on. Rusty was a much more dignified role for Frankie.

Carmine jr His dad is the one who taught him to play it dumb and stays away from New York Business as he already have his own Business making money in Miami that even bought him a nice mansion. Almost every mobsters in New York were bound to get whacked by another mobsters or arrested by the FBI, and all for small crumbs of money that can be made elsewhere.
@@adambelfast1 HIs character lives & works in New York City but that doesn't mean that's where he's originally from. I just like to believe he's originally from Newark like the actor himself.
Nah, Tony B knew what he was getting into. Peeps wasn't made, that's why they referred to him like that. But Tony knew how bad of an idea it was to hit one of Sack's guys.
“Historically; historical changes have come out of war” 😂 one of the most dismissed and underrated hilarious lines in the show. Carmine jr was epically funny
I liked the exchange between Phil and Tony about Rusty. Phils says "Congratulation on the recent headlines? What? Rusty. Oh I turned him down on that. You're a cautious man. Me. My heart's an open book.( Opens his jacket tp show him he's not wearing a wire).

The address is in the bag. 134 Deweunter Terrace, Brooklyn. It's in New York. There's a map. Get rid of it after you memorize it. The man you are going to kill is very cautious.
