He's forced to say something by the feds and blames the deceased Jackie Aprile Sr. and Tony is happy and grateful for it. It's the same idea as Tony using the feds to get Feech arrested, both times its ok because the mob is playing the feds.
This was season 1, back when Tony was merely fat instead of obese, merely neurotic instead of psychopathic, and merely intimidating instead of fuckin' dead-eyed scary all the time. He held strong resemblance to an actual human being, which led to people idolizing him and David Chase deciding to totally change the series theme from "Analyze This" to "Scarface".
I wasn't paying attention for the first half and didn't even realize that was Pussy back there, automatically assumed it would be Silvio. He went so far back that he was casually sitting in on a captains only meeting without anyone minding him at all, xd.
@@faaaaaabba I'm not so sure he was a rat. Tony was desperate in not believing that it was his close friend Big Pussy, that he ended up thinking that his FBI contact accidentally got Jimmy confused for Pussy - both of them being capos under Tony, overweight with black hair. When Tony and Uncle had the sitdown, they both falsely concluded it was actually Jimmy who was the rat. But again, there's nothing to suggest Jimmy was an informant - while on the other hand we know Pussy was one. And it'd be hard to believe there was two capos who were informants at that time.
Whoa whoa whoa...settle down now! I mean, yeah, he killed half a dozen of his own guys, lied to them, abused them unnecessarily, and committed a host of other despicable acts. But it's unfair to say he ran his business like Amazon. Those guys are actually bad.
The writers didn't like that the mobsters were likable so they threw creative tantrums and went out of their way later on to make them all unlikable in later seasons. Story was written as a revolt against the audience for wrongthink.
Tony himself explained it perfectly. They were an independent community fighting against the government and central banking’s attempts to subjugate them. The elite in the US are powerful and relentless people. Being super harsh and doing extreme things was their only way of staying afloat. The writers were terrified of how a lot of people could relate to that and just had to turn the crew into lowlife thugs victimizing everyone left and right. Same with the movie. They could not resists making Dickie kill his dad and his girlfriend just to show what an animal he was, otherwise the viewers might not actually hate him.
@@sarmatiancougar7556ll things considered Many Saints was poorly written and i don't even know what that movie was trying to accomplish. But while I do find the Sopranos characters vile, they're still human beings and will rationalize as such. Which is what the series did really well. Dickie killing his dad and the girlfriend in the movie was just cartoonish.
That a conversation with decorum among men, no egos but airing out their grievances cordially how men communicate plus there's levels of respect among them because Tony came from the Capo level that why it was very cordial.
@@KingKenzo215 That's not far off from what mob bosses have done throughout the years in order to snub their rivals. It was actually kind of smart on Tony's part. Tony knew that Feech was an old timer and that nothing good would come out of clipping him. It was messed up, but not far from reality.
@@cantbanme8971 I get what you're saying but I think given a Choice Feech would have rather been whacked than go back in for the rest of his life that's how most of them feel
@@heavingearth6727 I think people might like Season 1 more because it definitely comes off more light-hearted and definitely more comedic. As more seasons go by, the more depressing the show gets.
“What do you want me to do?? Tommy’s a bad kid, he’s a bad seed, what do you want me to do, shoot him?!?” When Tony said what do you want me to do, it reminded of that scene in Goodfellas. Also, Larry was in that scene of the movie as well as in this scene. 😎
Why were these guys bitching about kicking up to junior. They'resupposed to do that. I don't understand. Another thing is why did junior give the capos hesh's tax. Juniors the boss. Id like to know
Yeah, I wish the entire series could be like season 1. Instead of the show turning into a mobster themed soap opera. I hated that about Burn Notice as well. Just turned into a soap opera, but that's another topic. 😂
What did Larry Boy Barese mean by "Rusty Irish moved more cards during football season than 10 guys put together." around 0:33-0:39, exactly?... I still don't get all of the "mob-speak" that we hear in 'The Sopranos' & for a show that came out in the spring of 1999, I was only a few months removed from my 10th birthday & trying to figure out what all of this "secondary language" meant to me & I didn't get it. On top of that, I have some Italian in me, but, that doesn't mean I understand all of the language/etc. that was made mention of, here. I had to ask my dad what some of this stuff meant & he didn't quite understand some of it, either... The closest I figured out on my own was "sit-down", for example.; I always thought of that as another way of saying "meeting", or, something like that.

I think that he along with Brendan and Palmice are characters who only seem to belong with the early part of the show. Though I will give the actor credit for being to take a puff of smoke and look like he's staring out a thousand miles into the distance.
Larry and Albert were actually the most successful and capable guys in the family (a.k.a. glorified crew), they were earning and doing good without stepping on Tony's toes or looking for drama.
What?! Larry was a legend! If the entire Soprano family thought and acted like him, there would have been insufficient drama to fill a single season of this show.
It sounded like the capos met prior to the meeting and discussed their situation. Red flag and not allowed. They had legit concerns but in the mafia capos aren't allowed to meet without the boss knowing.
In the early clips, the Jersey crews seem so much more competent compared to the later seasons when it's high drama and everyone murdering each other.
Everyone in that room except Tony turned informant that’s why

Ya. He pinned an old murder to an already dead wise guy. Who also didnt do it. Thats not very rat behavior
I thought he said he didn't want to live no more and jumped... These guys are making up stories about a respectable sushi businessman.
Wow... Back when people were allowed to speak up to Tony without him going nuts and threatening ppl
Yup, that's what I thought
They were surprisingly open and chilled in that scene
Tony wasn't the flatout boss then

Larry barese was an OG.
He was . He was mild mannered. He should have had more of a story arc
He even ratted in a ok way
@George Williams III he never was a rat
those were golden years for new jersey crew.
It was a glorious time
Remember when is the lowest form of conversation.
Yeah, if y'all notice, Tony's sitting in the room with 3 rats excluding Larry.
These were only “golden years” relative to the later seasons of the show. The mob was well into its decline by 1999

Lol at Jr being a Frankenstein. Just imagine Jr walking around, green skinned with bolts out his neck going UUUUURRRRggghhh lol
