Rackets never bothered Raymond, it was business. But what Ray really loved to do, what he Really loved to do was rat, I mean, he actually enjoyed it. Ray was the kind of guy who rooted for the good guys in the movies.
Lmao
Lobsters were best. They went real fast.
Raymond told Lutchie he'd be doing less, not more, but what he meant was time, after his helpful cooperation with the feds. Stand up guys like Raymond are a dying breed, because people keep killing them and leaving them in car trunks at airports.
Underrated 🤣
I'm riding shotgun!
Raymond was probably wired on his own funeral
Good one! haha
Ohhhh, you stole my line from Borko’s upload yesterday!
How many times will you say that joke when that comes up?
You should call in a bomb scare
@@ArmyJames To the victor, belongs the spoils
The more I think about the whole Raymond Curto storyline, the funnier it gets. Basically every other character of his position (captain) is heavily involved in the show, but we never hear anything about Curto... we never see him on the job, delivering money to Tony, or really even interacting with anybody, aside from random moments of banter at restaurants and card games. Just this random standoffish guy who’s supposedly respected by everyone, and turns out to be easily the FBI‘s best informant. Pussy and Adriana always objected strongly to being micced up, even when they‘re forced to do so, and here’s Raymond Curto casually suggesting to his clearly apathetic handler that he should wear a wire to a Soprano family event. It‘s fucking hilarious. And then the whole thing at his funeral where Rusty talks about guys like him being a dying breed. It‘s almost like the entire character was invented for that one punchline lmao
Amen to that.
Even if he was I love it
Even funnier when at the end of Eugene’s arc his FBI handlers off-handedly mention that they lost one of their best sources recently, in which Eugene connects the dots and asks if he was a cooperator but then they just ignore the question and move on to something else. The only person to have a reason to even _question_ Curto’s loyalty, and of course he kills himself soon after in the same episode.
It's why it's the greatest show of all time. One moment can have so many different outlooks.
In the first season, Tony brings up the idea of Ray being boss. Most likely to be the older lightning rod for Tony. Ray mentions that he told the commission he’d be doing “less, not more,” due to his son with MS. I guess the show implies that Ray is semi-retired.
I'll tell you this, my estimation about Raymond as a man, just fvckin' plummeted.
Hey Phil, do me a favor... Pick me up a few things from RaceWay?

Raymond dying of a stroke the instant before he implicates Tony in a murder to a fed is the greatest and funniest scene in The Sopranos.
Tony Soprano was definitely a lucky guy.
Plot armour
@@Onmysheetrelatively. It's a big plot point that tony has some supernatural force that protects him throughout the show as he keeps burning up all his chances to be redeemed until it is too late. He should have been dead in season 1
@@halfcadence1417 It's incredible how Curto didn't get anything on Tony all those years he was up the Fed's arses. If he couldn't get anything, how could Adriana.
@@Onmysheet yeah. Really emphasizes the tragic aspect of her story
Let's be real, Raymond died because the car seat was off-kilter
The paint was as briliant!
He wasn’t sitting at 90 degrees
Its off the axis
I honestly love and hate my fellow soprano stans
The seat was askew
It was the medication I was on. For my blood pressure. It f***ed with my head, but I'm over that now. I could probably get a letter from my doctor
A letter from who? The doctor from the good ship lollipop 🍭? You should have been pitching not catching hehehe
A letter from your doctor says you don't like to grease unions? I heard you've been riding up the Hershey Highway. And how do you explain the sudden weight loss? AIDS?
Thinkin back, you did get a little too excited about dat story I told you about Janice.
Take a walk Gino
Then you should have sat down with Tony like a man than drive off.
Oh hey, by the way...how were those johnny cakes.
Lmao I love how Ray goes off at 1:46 about how dishonorable snitching is while just casually being the biggest snitch in the show.
"rarely are trips to UA-cam Comments so educational, such a small thing but yet ... so capacious."
- Mr. House probably
Your securitrons never had the makings of variety athletes
He's also got an 18 year old with MS!
There's a difference betweena snitch and a rat.
He was probably hoping that one of them would incriminate themselves over Pussy's death. Ray truly had no reservations.
In light of recent humiliations its an honour to be joined by Sopranos uploads. And not Mexican telenovela videos that we can't understand.

Killing Animal blundetto was the second hardest decision tony ever had to make, the first one was giving the toblerone.

@@SheepofChrist818 hey, this is the guy's life come on!
Ray actually wanted to wear a wire unlike the other informants 😂
Raymond suddenly dropping dead in his latest-of-many FBI handler's car just after he offered yet again to rat everyone out in court was easily the funniest of the Soparnos' informer story line endings.
Not only that, but literally having a boss dead to rights openly discussing a murder lol.
Tony had a streak of plot armor luck until the end of the series where he is completely done for, even if he wasn't killed in the diner. For example, the Boyz 2 Men Junior hired were terrible shots. His basement flooded and Meadow took the fed mic with the lamp to college.
@@Aivottaja I strongly dislike plot armor, but in the Sopranos it worked so well. Throughout the show we start thinking Tony is invincible, but it all crumbles down in the finale, where we are quickly brought back to the reality that he is just another mob guy who nobody will remember in 20 years.
Soparnos whatever happened there
@@baron573620 FVCKING YEEEEARS, NOT A PEEP
Imagine if raymond was wearing a wire while Ralph made that ginny joke and the fbi showed it to johnny sack, he would have heard tony in the background

He was wearing a wire.

@Chetetucci me too.
And later, I thought he somehow came back with Burt Gervasi, who has the same weird hairdo.
I swear thought I was the only one
İ was so confused when he died of a stroke and then later was talking to the feds..lol
4:22 he starts slurring his words. Didn't notice that the first time.
Passed the salt one final time.

Hey Raymond, that kid with the M.S... was he even real?
Fucked up.
yeah. just like how weird is it that Lou Gehrig died of Lou Gehrig's disease? ammirite??
At least Pussy and Eugene were conflicted. Ray was happily snitching lol.
Loose lips sink ships!
He probably saw the writing on the wall.

@@michaelbarry7018 whatever that was there
The phone call at 3:06 for some reason is one of my favorite moments of the show. A simple phone conversation but seems so authentic. Thank you Don Borko
That shit was gangster
When you think about it, Curto's behavior makes perfect sense: the days where Omerta had value were long gone, and as the Mafia culture surrounding that mechanism broke down, there really wasn't any value in being 100% loyal to the Family. It created a public perception that Cosa Nostra still existed, but it was a perception that everyone know largely didn't exist, and the reality is that it had gone from the Honored Society to a loose confederation of people who largely looked out for themselves. It was only the delusions of past grandeur and the usefulness of being part of an organization that kept it going... and Curto clearly understood that.
I doubt he went gleefully into the arms of the FBI just out of the blue, it was probably like all the other informants where they caught him doing something routine and low-level that nonetheless put him in a bad position, and Curto decided that the best way to operate was to have a foot in both worlds: be loyal to neither and both, seem like he's useful, but never give them anything that makes you stand out. Basically, play both sides against the middle, and in the meantime grind as you always have, knowing that so long as the FBI thinks you're an asset, and you're already half-retired, so long as you don't make your involvement obvious, a lot of other people are going to get taken down before you ever really become a target of either side.
Yeah you can tell by how he interacted with the FBI that he made no beefs with cooperating. You can tell he really didn't care about anyone's opinion of him and worked with the law shamelessly, was ready to testify if it meant saving himself.
Theres a señor de los cielos upload tonight. Want me to wear a wire?
Last time I was this early, Johnny Sack still wore track suits
These guys today, they wanna be buried in their joggin outfits
Agent Sanseverino was like the FBI's version of the Black Plague. She helped Ade get whacked and was there when when Raymond died.
If they had more agents like her working with rats, they would have decimated the family numbers dramatically.
I think it’s safe to say that asset 23W7 is compost.
Wasn't she also involved with Eugene Pontecorvo? Add that to the tally.
@@bendover2649 Yep....my bad
Raymond Curto's shirt, whatever happened there
Ralph ruined it, probably coked up
3:30 not sure why but Paulie’s reaction here is just hilarious. Tony Sirico’s delivery was incredible.
I liked the dynamic of Raymond being this recurrent rat in the show, someone who really isn't that relevant, but you still remember him, you know? He shows up from time to time and then at the start of season 6 he dies from a stroke, without anyone ever suspecting anything from him and people talking about what a great guy he was at his funeral. Suave if there ever was one.
Ray is the seniormost capo with Junior being under house arrest.
Stand up guys like Borko.. They're a dying breed...
The Sopranos crew had more rats than a pirate ship.
Stand up guys like Borko, they're a dying breed
The fed gets into raymonds car still wearing an earpiece....real discreet, and nobody ever suspected ray as a cooperator SMH
Ike and the guys were my favourite characters. I wish they'd done more with them.
@Matty “Ike” is agent Dwight Harris, so lucky you!
As a matter of fact, they did.
Mike and Ike
ok im an idiot i never realized raymond got arrested at the brothel
seen this series like 10 times
@@somethingelse9805 Me neither
That scene with him saying ‘this other inaudible is crack heads….not legs’ absolutely creases me every time!! Imagine Tony standing there screaming ‘go out to your people and crack some fucking legs’ 😂
There were a bunch of crackheads in season 4 during the HUD scam. Lol
It's fun spotting the behavior of Ray, because we know he's wired. For example, when he enters the Bing, he specifically says: "How you doin', Hesh?" instead of the usual mob greeting such as "Oh!" "Eyh" or just a pat-down with "How you doin'". And how he provides exposition to the recording with: "Oh! Big P***y!" when Chris just refers to BP as "him". And he tries to egg them on to talk about the specifics of getting rid of BP.
The FBI’s best asset
Yeah, great catch. Good thing Tony didn't want to speak on BP. I can't tell it that was a tactic or if he was emotional but that saved him either way
@@Segasage9probably both. Tony never liked talking much about past murders and we know he definitely was haunted of the memory of Pus. So was Sil and Paulie.
@@Segasage9"Oof Madonna, you are a cautious man. Some people would be offended, me? (Opens jacket) I'm an open book... chalk it up to the headless horseman" - Phil Leotardo
Tony was always careful about what he said to other mobsters.
That last bit of information would have definitely screwed tony. Perfect timing that Ray died there
”You want me to wear a wire?”
Raymond Curto has mastered the flow state
'You either die the hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.'
Ike and the guys were such great characters. Wish they did more with them
Ike is Agent Harris 🤦🏽😂
Did they slip in an Office Depot sponsorship?
They wanted in, on an ongoin thing
Truly an impeccable and dutiful captain, Raymond was!
The best part of this clip is Ray and his FBI handler casually walking into Office Depot to buy batteries so that he can wear a wire at Livia's wake. With the FBI agent wearing his earpiece.
ray asking for the new shirt from the FBI kills me every time lmaoo
he's got a kid with MS i thought he'd be doing less time not more
All due respect for his crippled kid
He flipped quicker than a pancake
“When he got back from borko at Christmas in 95’”
"and he wasn't himself..."
Why does he need to go in office depot with the fed wearing an ear piece, like couldn't the agent just go in and get the batteries alone or Raymond go alone. Seems like an unnecessary risk for some batteries
That shows how careless and overconfident he was that he wouldn’t get caught. And he was right.
Office depot product placement is my guess. Just look at how often we get Coke shoved in our face in the show
I'll tell ya what a gold mine is, those Borko uploads!
Stand up guys like borko uploading sopranos for us on UA-cam, they’re a dying breed.
2:19 imagine the FBI listening to tapes of Phil ranting about compromising lol
That news anchor hurt Tony‘s feelings 😂
Sunday dinner upload 👍🏼
HBO: So what about my copyrighted material from my streaming service? Borko kept uploading and ruined it.
For when you need to rat out your friends to save your skin from accountability. Office Depot!
”This Borko keeps uploading Sopranos clips on youtube… did I already give you that?”
Legend has it that his grave was wired, courtesy of the FBI, best damned informant.
"Look at this.. a doctor, madam, wise guy and a cop.."
Vin: DETECTIVE!
"Johnny Shac ushed to be a pragmatisht .Now he'sh an exishttentialisht.The abstract shapes or shumthin."
I'll tell you what a gold mine is ... curating these videos for sopranos fanatics ... gives us something to do with 98% of our time.
That tennis match with those guys, whatever happened there?
Total debacle
my guy won... the other guy, the son, he dropped out
Ralph Cifaretto spilled coffee on the Allen Stuart...that’s gotta be resolved..
Ralph was a made guy and the shirt wasn’t. And there was nothing we could do about it.
Curto's deception is illustrative of what, I think, would be the biggest cause of worry to a mob boss: not knowing which of your guys is wired up. Sure, knowing you could be killed at any moment would be an issue but I think you'd just have to come to peace with that aspect of mob life. The true, nagging fear would be one of your main guys betraying you and sending you to prison. Just look at how many guys in Tony's crew/family/circle are talking to the feds: Jimmy, Pussy, Curto, Adriana, Eugene, Massarone, and Carlo. Based on mob books and documentaries that I've read/seen, this is very accurate as far as how many gangsters are ratting to the cops.
That Office Depot product placement never had the makings of a varsity Staples.
The Sopranos podcast was just talking about this episode 👍
Best witness ever, not a single conflict of emotion
Raymond curto definitely folded under questioning hehehe
we need a THERE HE IS! compilation
Ray did not flip over the cat house bust. If Vin Makazian only got suspended, then they really wouldn't have enough over his head to turn him to informant. He would have flipped, probably over a drug charge that we never got to see, just like Puss. He couldn't do the time so he chose to inform because the feds would let him earn so he could support his kid with MS.
@Jaime D so that's it. No rebuttle, no difference of opinion. Just stupid fucking jokes.
No shame whatsoever with that Office Depot product placement. Adam Sandler levels.
Truly excellent borko
And to think at th funeral he was called a stand-up guy lol.
Great comp...
I'll tell you what a Gold Mine is these Sopranos Clip Videos!
It gives us out of work Video Editors some hope
I really liked raymond.. such a stand up guy
“Look at this guy, the Mayor of Munchkinland! Where do you guys over there in New York get the balls to call us ‘that Pygmy thing’?”
It's sad when they go like that
If you close your eyes when Ray is speaking, you’d think Larry David was a cast member.
Stand up guy like that, there a dying breed...hilarious 🤣 no pun intended
"Say hello to Ike and the other guys."
"This other inaudible is..."
Cannot stop laughing over the most simple product placement ever
Something missing from this montage is Ray talking about his son who has MS. “Families are their favorite target” also means the FBI was probably pulling strings in terms of getting his kid treatment. Subtle details like that make this show so good.
