@@boycie2.099 See... that's the real undertone here also. Look at Patsy. He is not happy. His beefs with Tony have been adding up ever since his twin brother was whacked in the first season. There's a theory that Patsy actually had Tony whacked in the final episode of the series.
The only guy that really scared me in this show was Patsy. He rarely laughs, he is cold, calculating, competent. Tony surely saw him as a potential threat. Very well acting. "It won't be cinematic."
Patsy only laughs at the funniest joke... when chrissie said “ when Vito was always talkin about greasin the Union who knew that’s what he meant” and everyone but chrissie and patsy just looked gloomy but those two were cracking up. Gold!
The actor was originally billed to just play Philly Spoons who was seen and then whacked in like 5 min. He impressed Chase and the guys so much that they created a part for him as Patsy ... Philly's twin brother. And he wound up doing a phenomenal job and becoming a huge part of the series.
And I still think he was behind the hit on Tony to end the series. Outstanding grievance over his twin brother that he's kept buried, did whatever was asked of him for years to deflect suspicion, struck when he saw that Tony lost most of his support, and Patrick is about to wed Meadow. If that theory is the correct interpretation, it makes Patsy the Littlefinger of the show.

I really hate how people love and adore Paulie WITHOUT acknowledging he made a gossip column to NY and ignited hostility between his best friends and an UNDERBOSS from NY who does business with his own crew. Disgraceful: Paulie is a complicated character. He’s loyal, but his big mouth is a liability
Like Tony said to Beansie in Florida, "has he (Paulie) ever been put to the test?" There really has not been a situation on the show when Paulie had the chance to change families and us viewers find out if Paulie wants to stay where he is or will happily go to New York. If Paulie did not find out that John was playing him with saying Carmine asks about him Paulie would still have been kissing John's ass and telling John Sopranos business.
King MultiGenre yeah but anything said about Ralph that's disrespectful EVEN his kid he deserves, God he was such a piece of shit. That hwhore that he best beat to death was somebodys daughter!!!
Tony is acting smart here. He doesn't want to seem uptight by reprimanding Ralph for the joke about Ginny Sacks so he laughs but says out loud “c'mon it's a mans wife we’re talking here”. Now Tony has covered his back, he can always defend himself afterwards by saying he told Ralph the joke was inappropriate.
he acted like he was never there he told john "he knows better than to make a remark like that when I'm around". Was kind of surprised a gentleman like bobby who also had weight problems was laughing though
1:23 "I'm talking here." 😆😆 I love how Little Paulie is always getting hit, smacked, getting smashed in the face or in the back of the head with a glass bottle or thrown out of a window. This guy can't catch a break. It's hilarious 😆
@@galleryofrogues that's true. Little Paulie was not made. However, his uncle is Paulie Gualtieri who was a Capo and later Underboss. Going after his nephew is the same as targeting him. Little Paulie was under Paulie's flag. I'm surprised how some of these guys crossed Paulie without getting whacked.
I love how Ralph shaved 3 pounds off the original number for some reason. Like a 98-pound mole joke would be crossing the line, but 95 pounds was fair game.
I loved Silvio's facial expression when Chrissy says that stupid line about getting wings like Paulie... Silvio was thinking to himself if Chrissy should of got it or if he sees it at some joke or game. Patsy should of been the acting.
@@trinidadjames203 Haha, no sht. Chrissy walkin into the Bing with Paulie wings. I can see everybodys laughing and making fun of Chrissy while Tony is silent with a major pissed off look.
I'm pretty sure the reason for Silvio's brusque "I'll talk to you later" was because of his distaste for the idea of Chris getting 'wings' in his hair.
He doesn't like Christopher because he knows he's a junkie and can't be trusted for serious stuff, and that he doesn't deserve to get promoted to captain. it's nepotism by Tony, who himself became boss that way. For that reason the old timers never liked Tony, and disapproved of most of his decisions. And by promoting Christopher so much you can see how the old timers get increasingly more annoyed with Tony. And if you think about it, they were right, Tony basically ended the NJ Italian mafia, just by whacking so many people including his own crew Tony himself in the end had no choice but to admit it was a mistake to try molding Christopher to be his right hand/successor with him being an addict and whacked him
Silvio knew it would not end well with Christopher when becoming Capo his mind was on getting wings in his hair like Paulie. He knew he was talking to a dead man.
Patsy is the most underrated characters in the series. Always had an intelligent look to him, one of his sons went legal just like Meadow and they eventually met (which is wonderful but I wanted to smash tbh), would kick the shit outta ya however, like he did at the construction site argument with Chrissy, and played it smart until the end where he probably killed Tony and became underboss, I think.
Silvio to Patsy: The floor is yours. Patsy to Little Paulie: Go on, tell em. Little Paulie (moments after telling them): My uncle's looking for at least 10 - Patsy: I'm talking here! LMAO
It's all formality. Patsy is a Made Guy, and Little Paulie isn't. Normally "associate" level guys don't get to talk official business matters. So Patsy as a Made Guy acted as Little Paulie's "champion" in the matter to bring it to the table. From there Patsy gave Little Paulie the ok to plead his case, and then it was up to the Made Guys to discuss and resolve. That's why Patsy chastises Little Paulie when he pipes up, he's already been given consideration, and he doesn't have a say in the deal making.
@ that's not true. Silvio didn't agree with Tony's decision to make Chris acting capo because it was only because Tony wanted Chris to move up fast and eventually head the family. Silvio knew it would cause a problem with Patsy because he was logically in line to take over Paulie's role. That's why Silvio ordered Patsy to loot the job site, it was to keep him from being disgruntled with the decision.

@@colderplasma Yes, obviously, and then he made a dumb fucking joke. Especially considering he had just shafted Patsy, was in incredibly bad taste
Hilarious how Silvios talks about no Ill will towards Chris for being the acting Capo when it's obvious at the end Silvio holds some ill will towards him.
@@geordiejones5618 "soldier"? Lol...Little Paulie was just an associate, that was why Christopher and the others were able to smack him around like a bitch.
@@nodinitiative Little Paulie was pretty stupid. The actor portraying him was already in his late 40s in this scene so it stand to reason he'd never graduate to a Made Guy, that is unless Tony was indeed whacked and Paulie elevated him.
Patsy promptly sent Little Paulie back to Youngstown to tell Uncle Paulie what Ralph had said about Ginny. They should not have screwed Paulie & Co. out of those 10 no-show jobs...and then putting Chrissie in charge of Paulie's crew...Patsy was pissed.
@@deetheg6834 the way that I remember it, Little Paulie told Paulie about the Ginny joke when he visited Paulie in prison...and then Paulie called Johhny Sac on the phone and told him. Patsy put all of that into motion.
Only because of Paulie's grade A+++ idiocy. That joke nearly got everybody brutally killed, Johnny Sack and Paulie included. And if Paulie had a brain, he never would have ratted on Ralph here no matter how much he hated him.
I don't think he's jealous, I think he's just a tiny bit miffed. Silvio probably thought that Chris was too immature for this kind of promotion, and that flippant joke probably just confirmed it to him.
Right, right, right. Silvio's acting as a middle point between Tony and his men, and he knows there are some veterans who would've diserved that promotion. So, his attitude towards Chris would be like" "At least he gotta prove he deserves this honour"... then Chris starts dicking around. Ergo, Silvio's face.
R.I.P. To the late James Gandolfini you was/were/is an excellent brilliant actor. James Joseph Gandolfini Jr. (September 18, 1961 - June 19, 2013) aged 51 then ) was an American actor best known for his role as Tony Soprano, the Italian-American crime boss in HBO's television series, The Sopranos. He was widely hailed for his performance, winning the following three Emmy Awards, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, and one Golden Globe Award.
This entire clip showcases some of the best use of jokes in the show (not the best jokes, just clever use). First in the way that Ralph's joke went over really well but then gets turned on him later. Second, Silvio's lack of response to Christopher's joke about Paulie's wings
in 2 minutes here there is more intrigue than in a season of Game of thrones. The mole joke, Paulie unhappy, Patsy getting stepped over, Chris getting acting Capo
Something I just noticed is that when the other guys made all those Ginny Sack jokes, they were in the back of the strip club. However, here, when Ralph makes the joke, they're at a formal dinner. It's not just the joke, perhaps it was also about making the joke at the wrong time and place.
You are joking, right? Chris was a complete fuckup. He couldnt wipe his ass without someone holding his hand. And then were his liabilities which would have automatically disqualified him from any leadership position. I suppose if you are comparing him to Paulie he would come out a winner on brain power but not by much. And at least you could count on Paulie not to disappear for three day on an H bender. Paulie also knew how to control his bad temper while Chris could not. He killed that waiter in a public place because he disrespected him and also shot at the kid at the bakery in broad daylight. Very high risk actions that are not going to get you very far in the mob UNLESS you have the persona where you walk into a room and scare the shit out of everyone which Chris did not. No one had any respect for or fear of the guy.
It's the power dynamic: if the guys can agree it between themselves that's the best thing as Tony doesn't have to make a ruling and appear to "take sides" - someone (sometimes both) will end up unhappy. Only when an agreement can't be reached does he step in through Sil.
No lol, Tony isn't present for business orders because of wire tapings. If Tony is caught giving orders he is implicated in all their crimes as conspiracy to conduct organised crime. He like other bosses act through their subordinates to avoid this issue. Which is why Tony wanted Junior to take the heat
Tony was trying to prepare Chris to take over one day. Gus Fring and Tony both knew better but both made the same mistake, you can never trust a drug addict.
Realizing that this is only fiction, it is sill unbelievable that a person would be dumb enough to make such a statement about a crime boss in the presence of so many other family members. I think Ralphie was trying to commit suicide.
Kevin ..u are right on bro....I know they are drinking but Maybe u say that comment in a car with someone joking around (that u trust wont repeat) but fk ...to fuck around and make a comment about a top boss and his overweight wife .its suicide....can u imagine in jersey in 89 making a joke about Sammy the Bull wife and that she is a fat pig ..come on ...u would get whacked (made guy ..maybe a beating) but ralph was a fucked up dude..and kev ...I agree it is sad that Tony is gone ..the man should've taken better care of himself ...geez Uncle jun is 84 and doing great ! sad
Agreed, but it's not like it was the first time Ralph made a sick joke. He referred to Vito's brother as "not that bright to begin with" as the dude was lying in a coma surrounded by Tony and the crew. Ralph + alcohol/drugs = Chaos.
Johnny wasn't the boss yet when the joke was made, carmine was still it. It was only the new jersey family at that dinner, that's why tony got so pissed off that someone in his family told johnny sack about it. The one who opened his mouth and told johnny sack was the one committing suicide. that's why in later episodes tony contemplates killing paulie while they're on the boat.
+Mos Eisley No it doesn't. Having a bigger family doesn't make you superior. An analogy for example, while Obama is more powerful than than the prime minister of india for example, it doesn't mean Obama can come and tell the prime minister of India what to do. Title-wise, they are equal, neither is superior, sure in a war, Johnny's mob would win, but a BOSS is a BOSS, regardless of how big the family is, they are still respected, which is why Leotardo was hesitant at first to take out Tony, that's why before they wanted to take out someone like Chrissy, etc. Tony has more power than Johnny Sack, because he can decide who lives and who dies, no other made man can do that, he can decide when to go to war. John cannot, Carmine does that. Until John became boss, John would have to get Carmine's permission for pretty much anything under the sun. Tony has no boss.
I love how that small joke wound up being the storyline for a majority of the season 😂🤣

Well the tension between both families lasted til the end of the series so this joke might indirectly be the cause of DON'T STOP, BELIEVING

@ that's not true. Silvio didn't agree with Tony's decision to make Chris acting capo because it was only because Tony wanted Chris to move up fast and eventually head the family. Silvio knew it would cause a problem with Patsy because he was logically in line to take over Paulie's role. That's why Silvio ordered Patsy to loot the job site, it was to keep him from being disgruntled with the decision.
@@colderplasma Yes, obviously, and then he made a dumb fucking joke. Especially considering he had just shafted Patsy, was in incredibly bad taste
@@Jack-de2ds Silvio realizing Chris is not capable of being a Capo
the best is furio's reaction.
actually it was the best acting at the table,i agree
Trev Mac as always
I like a something I can grab onto …
Say what you will but Ralph had the best dress sense on this show
+Kali Peace One of the worst I would say.
and the best hairpiece
He looked gay in miami
Kali Peace Johnny Sac has him beat by a margin
I would say it was Junior, many elegant pieces and great pastel colors in his casual attire.
Hilarious how Silvios talks about no Ill will towards Chris for being the acting Capo when it's obvious at the end Silvio holds some ill will towards him.
He's the one who gave Patsy the order to steal the floor tiles on the construction job. Knowing that would get Chris in hot water with Tony.
'' come on 90 pound mole, everybody knows you have been running things since Ginny became a kilo sabe''
“Open the door, OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!”
I wish they did more with the 98 pound mole. That was a good character
Those aren't wings, Chrissy. They're horns.
bud horns, like the little goat bumps
@
That's really what it's supposed to be? Are they really called "horns"?
Ralphie was happy for Chrissy. “Heyyy” and patted his arm.
Patsy wtf?? 1st he tells Little Paulie to talk then he smacks him for talking??
Speaking out of turn. There's ettiquitte and heirarchy to every one of these interactions. He was a low level soldier.
@@geordiejones5618 "soldier"? Lol...Little Paulie was just an associate, that was why Christopher and the others were able to smack him around like a bitch.
@@nodinitiative Little Paulie was pretty stupid. The actor portraying him was already in his late 40s in this scene so it stand to reason he'd never graduate to a Made Guy, that is unless Tony was indeed whacked and Paulie elevated him.
Look at ralph acting happy for chris, but the moment chris looks away, ralph's expression changes.
0:10 and that was the beginning of the end of the Lupertazzi and DiMeo families
It’s really amazing how everything that happened between the two families can be traced back to that moment
I wish Ralph was in the show for longer. He was the funniest and most entertaining character
This show is the best 'how to avoid problems' guide, ever.
I'LL TELL YA WHAT A GOLDMINE IS THOSE HARRY POTTER BOOKS!
Patsys face when Chris gets bumped up to acting capo, Tony messed this one up bad...
Patsy promptly sent Little Paulie back to Youngstown to tell Uncle Paulie what Ralph had said about Ginny. They should not have screwed Paulie & Co. out of those 10 no-show jobs...and then putting Chrissie in charge of Paulie's crew...Patsy was pissed.
Patsy sets up tony in the end , no doubt about it
@@timheidel5849 good catch, I never thought about how Paulie knew that joke, when he was not even there!!
@@timheidel5849how would patsy know that paulie meets up with Johnny sac when it’s behind everyone’s back.
@@deetheg6834 the way that I remember it, Little Paulie told Paulie about the Ginny joke when he visited Paulie in prison...and then Paulie called Johhny Sac on the phone and told him. Patsy put all of that into motion.
"Aaay, thats some guys wife, cmon"
Lives in my head rent free.
This show was the best thing ever. It had everything.
Amazing how much trouble this joke caused. On top of all the arguments, it nearly got Ralph, Paulie and Johnny himself whacked.
It almost led to johnny having carmine whacked too
I love how everyone at the table is dying from his joke l, then all act innocent when Johnny sachs finds out
This Joke ended up being the most important thing to happen in the entire series. We are still feeling the repercussions from it.
Only because of Paulie's grade A+++ idiocy. That joke nearly got everybody brutally killed, Johnny Sack and Paulie included. And if Paulie had a brain, he never would have ratted on Ralph here no matter how much he hated him.
And there is nothing we could do about it. The Joke is made and the others weren't. It was among the italians real grease ball shit.
Love the acting from Little Paulie, as he's explaining it as if he's memorising a script. He wasn't very bright upstairs. lol
I love how this little joke wound up being such a long drawn out storyline
I don't think he's jealous, I think he's just a tiny bit miffed. Silvio probably thought that Chris was too immature for this kind of promotion, and that flippant joke probably just confirmed it to him.
Right, right, right. Silvio's acting as a middle point between Tony and his men, and he knows there are some veterans who would've diserved that promotion. So, his attitude towards Chris would be like" "At least he gotta prove he deserves this honour"... then Chris starts dicking around. Ergo, Silvio's face.
R.I.P. To the late James Gandolfini you was/were/is an excellent brilliant actor.
James Joseph Gandolfini Jr. (September 18, 1961 - June 19, 2013) aged 51 then ) was an American actor best known for his role as Tony Soprano, the Italian-American crime boss in HBO's television series, The Sopranos. He was widely hailed for his performance, winning the following three Emmy Awards, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, and one Golden Globe Award.
This entire clip showcases some of the best use of jokes in the show (not the best jokes, just clever use). First in the way that Ralph's joke went over really well but then gets turned on him later. Second, Silvio's lack of response to Christopher's joke about Paulie's wings
It’s funny how paulie says to feech “you get points for staying outta the can “
Paulie: in the can running his own gossip column for New York
“Go on tell him…”
“I’m talking here!!!”
That 90 pound mole never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
Those guys from Seton Hall were 7 feet tall some of em
what is that? comedy?
Ralph was more creative than Spielberg...
"...Wings on my hair, like Paulie"
🤣😂
Patsy back handing little paulie and telling him to be quiet always cracks me up lol
this joke almost created a whole fucking war 💀
Tony to John: "if it was said it wasn't said infront of me... He knows better"
Also Tony: "OHHHHHH THATS SOME GUYS WIFE"
in 2 minutes here there is more intrigue than in a season of Game of thrones.
The mole joke, Paulie unhappy, Patsy getting stepped over, Chris getting acting Capo
Maybe if it had been Patsy, Tony wouldn't have been dead at the end of the show.
"Go on tell em"
Tells em and gets slapped
"I'M TAWKIN HEEERE" 😂
Something I just noticed is that when the other guys made all those Ginny Sack jokes, they were in the back of the strip club. However, here, when Ralph makes the joke, they're at a formal dinner. It's not just the joke, perhaps it was also about making the joke at the wrong time and place.
Chris should have never been made captain.
+sgreen4 Chris should have never been made. Period
You are joking, right? Chris was a complete fuckup. He couldnt wipe his ass without someone holding his hand. And then were his liabilities which would have automatically disqualified him from any leadership position. I suppose if you are comparing him to Paulie he would come out a winner on brain power but not by much. And at least you could count on Paulie not to disappear for three day on an H bender. Paulie also knew how to control his bad temper while Chris could not. He killed that waiter in a public place because he disrespected him and also shot at the kid at the bakery in broad daylight. Very high risk actions that are not going to get you very far in the mob UNLESS you have the persona where you walk into a room and scare the shit out of everyone which Chris did not. No one had any respect for or fear of the guy.
It's a no no in most businesses. Lol
Chris is made in Tony's interest, Chris doesn't have as big of balls as he would like people to think
He used the technique of positive thinking, should have been made a captain right then and there
This Ralph is more creative than Spielberg !
U copied purple sword 5 comment
Patsi should have been Acting Capo!!!!!
That large mole never had the makings of a Varsity athlete.....
Funny thing is, Tony says woo that's another man's wife.. hr knows it's not right.
ginny sack’s 95 pound mole was my favourite character of the show, i wish they did more with it.
It's the power dynamic: if the guys can agree it between themselves that's the best thing as Tony doesn't have to make a ruling and appear to "take sides" - someone (sometimes both) will end up unhappy. Only when an agreement can't be reached does he step in through Sil.
No lol, Tony isn't present for business orders because of wire tapings. If Tony is caught giving orders he is implicated in all their crimes as conspiracy to conduct organised crime. He like other bosses act through their subordinates to avoid this issue. Which is why Tony wanted Junior to take the heat
The disrespect to Patsy is terrible. I don't understand why Tony always shoved Patsy to the side like that.
its an off color remark
I think it’s save to say Johnny Sacks isn’t too much of a fan of Ralph’s joke lol
Tony was trying to prepare Chris to take over one day. Gus Fring and Tony both knew better but both made the same mistake, you can never trust a drug addict.
Oh how I love you Soprano-cast
Sil was so displeased with this decision to the point he even disobey Tony to keep Patsy happy.
"So, Pasqualino... i understand we have some business to discuss. The floor is yours."
Realizing that this is only fiction, it is sill unbelievable that a person would be dumb enough to make such a statement about a crime boss in the presence of so many other family members. I think Ralphie was trying to commit suicide.
Kevin ..u are right on bro....I know they are drinking but Maybe u say that comment in a car with someone joking around (that u trust wont repeat) but fk ...to fuck around and make a comment about a top boss and his overweight wife .its suicide....can u imagine in jersey in 89 making a joke about Sammy the Bull wife and that she is a fat pig ..come on ...u would get whacked (made guy ..maybe a beating) but ralph was a fucked up dude..and kev ...I agree it is sad that Tony is gone ..the man should've taken better care of himself ...geez Uncle jun is 84 and doing great ! sad
Agreed, but it's not like it was the first time Ralph made a sick joke. He referred to Vito's brother as "not that bright to begin with" as the dude was lying in a coma surrounded by Tony and the crew. Ralph + alcohol/drugs = Chaos.
Johnny wasn't the boss yet when the joke was made, carmine was still it. It was only the new jersey family at that dinner, that's why tony got so pissed off that someone in his family told johnny sack about it. The one who opened his mouth and told johnny sack was the one committing suicide. that's why in later episodes tony contemplates killing paulie while they're on the boat.
+Mugen He was still the underboss of New York, that makes him superior to Tony Soprano.
+Mos Eisley No it doesn't. Having a bigger family doesn't make you superior. An analogy for example, while Obama is more powerful than than the prime minister of india for example, it doesn't mean Obama can come and tell the prime minister of India what to do.
Title-wise, they are equal, neither is superior, sure in a war, Johnny's mob would win, but a BOSS is a BOSS, regardless of how big the family is, they are still respected, which is why Leotardo was hesitant at first to take out Tony, that's why before they wanted to take out someone like Chrissy, etc.
Tony has more power than Johnny Sack, because he can decide who lives and who dies, no other made man can do that, he can decide when to go to war. John cannot, Carmine does that. Until John became boss, John would have to get Carmine's permission for pretty much anything under the sun.
Tony has no boss.
Man that one little joke caused a LOT of shit between the two families.
lol it’s crazy that Tony almost whacks Paulie for this several seasons later.
