It’s not even as much about her being a Soprano. He was dead when he said “ What are you going to do now? Cry?” For being a gangster, Richie forgot that you’re never supposed to challenge anyone’s inner gangster like that.
I was living in Brooklyn when "The Sopranos" was at its height. Everyone made sure to be home on Sunday night to watch. When Janice shot Ritchie, we could hear cheers up and down the block, including ours.
In the nanosecond after he hit her, the remaining years of her life passed in front of her eyes and she thought: "No friggin way am I spending it with THIS guy." No one on the show, save for Ralph, had it coming more than Richie did.
I think it has more to do with her attempting to dissossiate herself from the situation, to be able to kill someone and to deal with cognitive dissonance. ****when I say stuff like this, I'm not writing borderline fanfiction, but what I think the writers were trying to get across
@@ifeelpretty5790Aida Turturro is amazing on this show. IMO , she doesn't get nearly enough credit for her role as Janice. Almost every single character on the show was cast perfectly.
I’ve always loved the leadup to this. It was so casual. The conversation escalated so fast and the absolute silence was sheer perfection. Both actors did a phenomenal job.
But still… wouldn’t want to bust Janice’s lip because she talks so much? Like instead of gossiping and complaining, why don’t you make something to eat instead?
It’s pretty morbid to say but I LOVE scenes like this. No music, just raw silence to let the audience deal with what just happened on their own. Brilliant
-Hit a mob boss’s sister -Mock her -Leave the one gun you have in the house in a place where she can easily access it -Mock her again when she points the gun at you Jeez, Richie was a complete idiot
One of the ironies of this scene is how he got on Chris about how he’d kill him over hitting Adrianna before marrying her but he did the same thing to Janice and he died for it. This show was phenomenal with these type of tie ins.
THHHANNNKKKK YOU! no one seems to remember when he did that to chris but then went and did it to Tony's sister and he wasnt even married to her like he said Chris should be
Sisters and brother's are especially important in the Mafia and Italians in general. Cousins are one thing, but when it comes to siblings, it doesn't get more personal than that.
My favorite thing about the sopranos, Is how they live in the New Jersey suburbs. And yet nobody seems to notice all the gun shots that happened in broad daylight.
I love how Janice looks completely shocked after getting hit, but the second she turns her back, she has that look of "Alright, I'm really doing this tonight."
He thought of himself as a old school guy and as such he believed the old way would be followed. Remember his advice to Christopher wasn’t don’t hit your girl. It was wait till you marry her to do it. He thought because she was a woman and he was a man it was his right to put her in her place. He forgot that she wasn't just any woman
Richie was planning on overthrowing Tony anyway. He probably thought because she's a woman, Janice herself was no threat and he wouldn't have to worry about Tony since he would whack him.
He hit JANICE but not Tony. Big difference.......Tony mostly kills on ''business'' while Janice did on impulse because she isnt a mobster. Plus ''nice people'' are scary as hell and I think Richie mistaked Janice's ''Oprah like persona'' for being weak hahaha
The sudden cut to her holding the gun was one of the most shocking moments in television for me. There was no warning; they didn't cut to her getting the gun or loading it. She just suddenly has one because they probably keep guns all over the house. Terrifying.
That's exactly what sets Sopranos apart from all other shows. Any other show would've blown the surprise by showing Janice grabbing the gun from a table or or her purse or something. All you see here is her walking away, leaving the audience to think she's gonna run off and cry. And then BAM - gun in her hand, she puts 2 into Richie. Brilliant, and shocking.
You know, I saw that episode in real time and don't remember what they did with Richie's body. I remember very well the episode where Tony killed Ralphie after the argument theyhad in Ralphie's kitchen over a racehorse..wow! What a scene, huh? VERY well choreographed scene and looked so realistic. Great acting skills by both. If any of you guys out there haven't seen the episode, check it out. Just type in "Tony kills Ralphie" on the UA-cam search bar.
Furio and Christopher were shocked just for a second and then they also got on disposal mode. Except Furio has a bit more heart than Chrissy, he felt bad for disposing the car. Cadillac... Mannaggia La Marie!
What's REALLY funny is after Tony et all clean up, and Janice asks Tony if they put Richie in a good place, Tony smiles and says, "Sure! We buried him next to a tree! Overlooking a lake!" She chokes back tears and says, "Really?" Tony says, "What the f*ck do you care."
Tony was a good brother. He could have just told the truth that Richie went straight into the sewer system. But he knew that Janice will be racked with guilt if he says that.
The expression on her face is she standing there after he hit her is a piece of amazing acting she goes from shock and hurt to just this look of “alright then.” Can literally see the look in her eyes as she realizes what kind of monster she is engaged to ,and that she’s sentenced to a life of misery if she marries him. Zero regrets, Richie sucked
@@leninswalrus I'm sure the man who beats his fiance and previously told Chris that if a married man hits his wife it's none of her families business would take that well
I think particularly sent her from hurt to enraged, is him mocking her. "What are you looking at? You are gonna cry now?" That pissed her off that this sick imbecile thought he had set the tone to how things was going to be going forward.
Nothing can be done to improve this scene. The dichotomy is simply superb. It starts with Janice being sweet and flirtatious, and moments later it ends with Janice coldly shooting Richie to death.
Janice is far from being a being that I love but I would like to plead the case of her for your comment. If I have to choose between a hard day at work, or "simply" having Livia Soprano as a mother: I prefer the hard day at work NO DOUBT. Forget the pasta.. the last thing she needs is to add a husband who not only scorns the words of his future wife but also considers it a good idea to punch her in the face in order to shut her up.. (and I'm not just talking about Janice at this point).
Remember, he had already decided to kill Richie because he knew Richie was plotting to kill him. I'm sure that was his immediate reaction when Janice called him - that it was Richie making his move.
Tony thought it was a setup between Janice and Richie because earlier in the episode Uncle Jun mentions the possibility of Janice being fed up with Tony as well.
@@jake.p13 It's not unreasonable. He probably had to assume the worst, that Richie had Janice at gunpoint and forced her to call him. If in Tony's place, I wouldn't dare go to the house without something that goes BANG. When I saw this episode, I almost forgot that there was a lot of very bad blood going between Tony and Richie and he wouldn't just casually pull into the driveway without a thought. He had been driving everyone batshit crazy through this season up to his death and Tony was planning to have him whacked...
He didn't want to go out like Sonny Corleone in Godfather I...drawn out from his stronghold by his angry reaction to his sister being beaten by her husband Carlo.
Richie was the king of bad decisions. Continuously taunting Tony and going behind his back was bad, but punching Janice and not expecting her to react the way she did was abysmal.
It shows how quickly domestic situations can go bad. One minute you're cooking a nice dinner for your fiance..... Richie, even for a mobster, was a cold psychopathic s.o.b., one of my favorite characters.
And they tend to run the risk of that hate from the movie carrying over into their real life career. Think of Frank on MASH, or Dwight from the Office, or even Cipher from the Matrix.
By far the best death in the series. He had enough time to fully realise that his tough talk was only that - talk; and that anyone with a gun could end him if he is out of line.
This scene is a microcosm of the whole show. 1 horrible human doing something horrible to another horrible human while the audience feels simultaneously satisfied and dirty.
Janice is in no way a horrible human, if you partially went with Paulie's logic, she would need to be cleansed a bit, while Richie would forever burn in hell
Richie was such a hypocrite. He gave Christopher the whole "old school" talk about hitting Adriana before they were married but did the exact same thing with Janice.
I know they're all gangsters and all, but jesus christ he lands one pulled punch and she jumps straight to lethal force? I'm not saying she wouldn't be justified if he'd been beating the crap out of her and she feared for her life but does seem a little excessive. Again, gangsters though, different morals etc.
@@samrowland2816 In a normal situation, I'd agree. However this guy's a mobster, a made man, and he knows he's "untouchable". And in that culture, beating your wife isn't really a crime. To the rest of society, maybe, but it'd be worse for Janice to run to the cops and file charges than to just shoot the prick dead. And she knows it. Richie, Tony, nobody is going to turn her in, they're going to help her hide the body, and did. And she knew that when she pulled the trigger. Being the sister of a mob boss has it's perks.
@Hopper33 yeah and he analysed it as such? Did you think you did something by pointing out the fact that its a TV show? Good observation bud, glad you managed to catch that.
I think Proval's Richie Aprile performance is on a short list of greatest villains of all time. Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men is right up there, too.
Richie was a violent piece of shit sociopath who took immense pleasure in hurting and killing people. He was also insanely disrespectful to the boss of that family, and tried to coast on the fact he was Jackie’s brother to escape punishment from his many sociopathic actions regarding Tony. The entire ordeal of him attempting to shake down Beansie and then going so far as to permanently injure or kill him when his intimidation ploy didn’t work. As the late great Charlie Murphy said, he was a habitual line stepper and he got what was coming to him in the end. Which was still more than what his defenseless victims received.
It de escalates that easy too. When Tony comes home and tells Carmella about it then immediately switches to Carmella telling Tony to pick up Meadow for a dentist appointment or something like that .
Happens all the time. A woman in my county killed her daughter in an argument over collar greens at 2 AM. One stab to the Aorta and she was dead right there.
This scene started out so peaceful. The background sound of oil simmering while cooking a steak and Richie slowly opening a bottle of red win. Then it turns to violence and Janice shooting him. Janice needed to be more patient with Richie, he was a good guy.
@@maxazzopardi7446 Fuck Richie. I was so happy he died. He didn't seem to realize that things have changed during his 10 years behind bars. He didn't want to adapt or adjust to Tony's way of managing things. Not only that, he savagely ran over Binsy for no good reason, crippling him for life, and for that alone I'm happy he got what he deserved, the undermining prick.
@@maxazzopardi7446 He punched her in the face(sorry, that automatically makes him not a good guy) and then sat down to eat the dinner she was cooking(which makes him a pus-filled d**khole). Then taunted her like they were in the schoolyard. He deserved every bullet.
One of my favourite aspects of the Sopranos is, that lots of the deaths were really unexpected. You rarely saw them coming. The killings happened because the killers were driven by their emotions. The scenes where Cristopher kills his friend, and when Tony kills Ralph is very similar to this. None of those were planned, the characters just acted as they FELT, and many times it wasn't benefitial for them. No calculation, just letting your rage or disappointment take control over your body.
@@blitzbees890 A lot of the deaths were planned, of course. This is a mob show after all. But they weren't as memorable as the ones I mentioned (with some exceptions).
Then tells Tony it was an accident, but that was no accident when she intentionally fired off the second round and instantly finishes off the miserable parasite.
I wish she would've EMPTIED IT into his vile carcass. As bad as I felt watching the scene where Adrianna was killed... this is the direct opposite. I really enjoyed watching ( the Ritchie character ) him get his just desserts. He was such an evil fucker. I have to say it again. I wish she would've emptied the clip into his vile carcass.
She was still a Soprano. If Richie had thought about it at all, he should have realized that it might be dangerous to fuck with somebody who can make a phone call to get rid of your body.
Ironic that Richie threatened to kill Christopher for raising his hand to his niece and then gets done by the woman he raised his hand to....Sopranos always had twists like this. Best series ever.
Way to go Janice. He had no remorse for punching Janice in the face and actually taunts her by saying "You gonna cry now"? He would've eventually killed Janice and she knew it. Better him than you.
I didn't get that he would've killed her, he just didn't like her combativeness, he wasn't even expressing disappointment and disapproval towards her, but was venting about his son and his sense of honor and legacy. Her modern feminist programming told her to take offense and that's when he punched her, and good for him.
@@benjaminraponi5399 I'm being playful when I say that, not so much to punch a woman, but unless you're a fa-gg-ot, you have to make it clear to women who is who in the relationship. Unless you're a fa-gg-ot but you don't hit her. But she can't feel comfortable being aggressive with men and so he set her straight, and then she set him straight.
Ironically Richie wound up breaking his own rule that he'd chastised Chrissie over earlier in the season regarding "giving her your name before you put your hand on her".
Richie was such a narcissist. He not only didn’t grasp how negatively his behavior affected others, he simply didn’t care. He expected everyone to be intimidated by his tough guy act. Janice gave Richie the ultimate well deserved payback.
@@alexspader Yeah, Ritchie was truly out of his league dealing with a woman who was raised by the Devil incarnate. I guess Janice had some sexual magic going on to keep getting these guys because they all had zero idea of what kind of monster they were going to bed with.
I never watched the Sopranos when it was first broadcast. After watching these video shorts for about a year I bought the complete BluRay set. I just received it today!
@@Rastamanjungle I have and the vast majority of them do not get shot execution style immediately afterwards but I guess you only watch the ones that go viral?
@@A-small-amount-of-peas not a single one ends on execution on my country. There are whole UA-cam channels about Police shooting people even when justified they just shoot people. Like on my country a cop can handle person with a knife etc. In your country all IT takes is taking a look on a glove box or whatever.
She should've kept her mouth shut. Instead she taunted him about his gay son. It should've been obvious to her that he doesn't share her liberal "values".
If Richie had only accepted ballroom dancing as a legitimate art form, he'd still be alive.
😂
Seems like it.😂
LMFAOOO
Nope. Silvio would kill him
It was real greaseball shit....and he just hadda sit there an take it....
Richie made one fatal mistake: he underestimated the Soprano temper.
Exactly!!!
Took the words outta my mouth. Can't hurt the any of the boss's family.
It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round
There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
Oh, he might have went on living but he made one fatal slip
When he tried to match the sister with the big iron on her hip
Big iron on her hip
Big iron, big iron

“You Sopranos…you go to far!”
It’s not even as much about her being a Soprano. He was dead when he said “ What are you going to do now? Cry?” For being a gangster, Richie forgot that you’re never supposed to challenge anyone’s inner gangster like that.
i love how he saw janice pointing a gun at him and somehow thought "yeah this is the perfect time to try and insult her some more"
He’s from the old school, he doesn’t have to explain himself
Wasn't Richie, even by Mob standards, kind of an asshole? In fact, wasn't Tony considering whacking him himself before this all happened?
@@outstretchedwings yeah, Richie was trying to make a power play against Tony and before that had basically given Tony agita for all of season 2
Maybe he thought she was trying to have sex with him or something, since he supposedly held a gun to her head during sex.
@@RedHairedWarlordagita lol, I love how u used the right slang
I was living in Brooklyn when "The Sopranos" was at its height. Everyone made sure to be home on Sunday night to watch. When Janice shot Ritchie, we could hear cheers up and down the block, including ours.
That’s absolutely awesome
Omg I'm literally in Essex county where sopranos lived and I didn't hear anything lol
Sure.
Is this Bensonhurst lol?
What sad little people you all are .
Getting shot to death sucks, especially when you’re in no mood for it. Poor Richie
A horse...my kingdom for a horse!
Who said that?
Forget about it...
I wish she would have emptied the whole clip into his head
"Is this the end of Rico?"
lmfao!
What a satisfying scene, first Janice gets punched then Richie gets shot
Biggest fan service in one scene alone
All the context you need 😂
😂😂 2 things I've always wanted to see
I’m still mad Janice never ended up getting killed
It would have been a perfect scene if Richie pulled out his own gun as he was dying on the floor and shot Janice in the head with his last breath.
In the nanosecond after he hit her, the remaining years of her life passed in front of her eyes and she thought: "No friggin way am I spending it with THIS guy." No one on the show, save for Ralph, had it coming more than Richie did.
Aida Turturro was incredible in this episode!
I think it has more to do with her attempting to dissossiate herself from the situation, to be able to kill someone and to deal with cognitive dissonance.
****when I say stuff like this, I'm not writing borderline fanfiction, but what I think the writers were trying to get across
@@ifeelpretty5790Aida Turturro is amazing on this show. IMO , she doesn't get nearly enough credit for her role as Janice.

@@ChocolateMilk1978 All the men who were with Janice ended up dead lol
I’ve always loved the leadup to this. It was so casual. The conversation escalated so fast and the absolute silence was sheer perfection. Both actors did a phenomenal job.
Soooo true! I noticed the same thing!
Watch the scene in Sleepers, where the same happens to Kevin Bacon, I love revenge scenes, people getting what they
First time watching I did not see that coming. I thought she would call Tony and he would kill Richie. Janis put in her own work
She definitely won that argument.

It’s pretty morbid to say but I LOVE scenes like this. No music, just raw silence to let the audience deal with what just happened on their own. Brilliant
Janice knew that after that first ever punch/slap the physical abuse would never end, no matter what so she ended it.
💯, she put a stop to that right then and there.
Janice moved to the front of the line in whacking Richie. Tony was angry because she beat him to it.
-Hit a mob boss’s sister
-Mock her
-Leave the one gun you have in the house in a place where she can easily access it
-Mock her again when she points the gun at you
Jeez, Richie was a complete idiot
Yeah, but he got to do what we all had been wanting to do up until that point.
She is, obnoxious.
10 years in jail and he thought it was a do-whatever-you-want ticket instead of a warning
@@fedpostahdamn, this.
Um....it's a fictional story
@@tinetannies4637what's your point?
The most relieving scene in the entire series. Nobody had it coming more than this guy.
The only relieving thing was someone finally punching Janice
Ralph Cifaretto?
@@mistahwatzitoya3199 Yeah I actually liked Richie as a character, Ralph just annoyed me every time he was on screen
Absolutely, and that was for Beansy also…Rick,
he was a head job!!!
He SUCKED
Richie clearly underestimated Janice,while forgetting or not giving a F who her brother was. Phenomenal scene!!
Best part of that scene was Tony's smile when he walked in and saw Him dead, mayb it was a grin but it was masterful
One of the ironies of this scene is how he got on Chris about how he’d kill him over hitting Adrianna before marrying her but he did the same thing to Janice and he died for it. This show was phenomenal with these type of tie ins.

Not the first time she's handled that firearm. Not by a long shot. Outstanding two handed grip and stance.
She’s a soprano. She knew what type of life was in store for her after he hit her. Such a poignant scene
Except for the fact that it's Tony Soprano's sister. Fatal mistake, even if Janice didn't shoot him.
@@nostailigic5393 Yeah Tony didn't like her much but family pride and all, Rich was dead the second the punch landed.
@@BungtwinginglyFunny i doubt it. he would have had a talk with richie to make sure he toned it down.
Nah, family can't be disrespected it would make Tony look weak. The man's a dead man as soon as he hit her.
Sisters and brother's are especially important in the Mafia and Italians in general. Cousins are one thing, but when it comes to siblings, it doesn't get more personal than that.
He had some balls, abusing Tony Soprano’s sister. He was gonna get whacked either way.
Yup. Guy always pushed it too far.
Balls? I’ll show you balls. Balls is sticking a shinebox in someone’s eye!
he never had the makings of a varsity bullet proof vest
Not allowed to do that until he marries her, according to the Godfather book...
He wasn't whacked. He's in 'da witness pwotection pwogwam' right?

Richie is a likeable character imo
Richie’s on downfall was he wasn’t strong enough not to take shit from the Sopranos. In any other situation he would be loved

Tony thought it was a setup between Janice and Richie because earlier in the episode Uncle Jun mentions the possibility of Janice being fed up with Tony as well.
defiantly. he thought going there was a trap for sure since he just heard richie was trying to ice him
@@jake.p13 It's not unreasonable. He probably had to assume the worst, that Richie had Janice at gunpoint and forced her to call him. If in Tony's place, I wouldn't dare go to the house without something that goes BANG. When I saw this episode, I almost forgot that there was a lot of very bad blood going between Tony and Richie and he wouldn't just casually pull into the driveway without a thought. He had been driving everyone batshit crazy through this season up to his death and Tony was planning to have him whacked...
He didn't want to go out like Sonny Corleone in Godfather I...drawn out from his stronghold by his angry reaction to his sister being beaten by her husband Carlo.
The moment we see her with the gun - the cut, the rhythm, the pacing… film editors of the world - we love you!!! ❤️🎞️❤🎞️
"🤌🏼Rick 🤌🏼Rick 🤌🏼RICHARD 🤌🏼How many f*ckin times I gotta tell you he was 'Little Ricky' when he was 12 years old" 😂
Richie was the king of bad decisions. Continuously taunting Tony and going behind his back was bad, but punching Janice and not expecting her to react the way she did was abysmal.
Excuse him for being charmed by the hag's acting.
I dont think any wifebeater expects the wife coming at him with a gun the first time she gets decked in the face.
@@ForumBlackwolfdave expect the unexpected
@@csproductionsMS it's the first rule of wifebeating
Caught him slippin, got Janice'd
He didn't think she had the nerve....Janice just got the gun no yelling no fighting all action
I kinda like how she didn't argue with him. Just a "bang bang". So done with him.
@@diornotwar2356 he was asking for that
It shows how quickly domestic situations can go bad. One minute you're cooking a nice dinner for your fiance..... Richie, even for a mobster, was a cold psychopathic s.o.b., one of my favorite characters.
One of THE MOST satisfying scenes in the series ☺️☺️☺️👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇
It’s crazy how Tony uploads all these murders to his channel
🤣🤣🤣
You're one to talk Heisenberg
Tony would have loved to know you back then Mr. Heisenberg. Entering the witness protection program would have been easier by your methods.
Lmao
thats a balls right there untouchable
When you hate
a character so much '
you know they're a good actor 😎
Watching Joffrey on GOT
confirms this
And they tend to run the risk of that hate from the movie carrying over into their real life career.
Think of Frank on MASH, or Dwight from the Office, or even Cipher from the Matrix.
Yes, it pretty much put an end to Sobels acting career. I mean, Ross. No wait… Swimmer or something
Except for Anna "Skyler White" Gunn. But then, she wasn't acting....
he goes all the way back to Mean Streets. A 70s Scorcese film about the mob.
This is such a satisfying scene - right when you start feeling sorry for Janice, she makes it so you don't have to feel sorry for her anymore.
Did anybody ever notice the hand under the table pushing Richie backward. 😂
By far the best death in the series. He had enough time to fully realise that his tough talk was only that - talk; and that anyone with a gun could end him if he is out of line.
put my fukin dinner on the table and keep your mouth shut
still i wish he lasted 2 season instead of annoying Ralphie. Richie was more fun to watch
@@Italian69Boi
Ralphie was entertaining! I would have loved to see Ralphie and Richie have a war. Now that would be interesting.
@@wet-read oh good idea 💡 👍🏽👍🏽
@@wet-read "first off she was a whoah"... lol "all this over some dead whoah" ralphie had his moments lol
This scene is a microcosm of the whole show. 1 horrible human doing something horrible to another horrible human while the audience feels simultaneously satisfied and dirty.
Janice is in no way a horrible human, if you partially went with Paulie's logic, she would need to be cleansed a bit, while Richie would forever burn in hell
I think the ONLY character you could even possibly say was morally "good" was adriana, and maybe meadow.
aside from minor characters of course. like, im sure that random landscaper who got beat up was a good enough guy lol
@@pIayingwithmahwiitony had his moments where he was a decent person
@@pIayingwithmahwii You're forgetting Gino, the bakery customer.
This was such a great scene. Just a phenomenal show.
Richie was such a hypocrite. He gave Christopher the whole "old school" talk about hitting Adriana before they were married but did the exact same thing with Janice.
Really bad sign for Richie when Janice took that punch like a champ. No “poor me” tears because he was never going to hit her again.
I know they're all gangsters and all, but jesus christ he lands one pulled punch and she jumps straight to lethal force? I'm not saying she wouldn't be justified if he'd been beating the crap out of her and she feared for her life but does seem a little excessive. Again, gangsters though, different morals etc.
@@samrowland2816 In a normal situation, I'd agree. However this guy's a mobster, a made man, and he knows he's "untouchable". And in that culture, beating your wife isn't really a crime. To the rest of society, maybe, but it'd be worse for Janice to run to the cops and file charges than to just shoot the prick dead. And she knows it. Richie, Tony, nobody is going to turn her in, they're going to help her hide the body, and did. And she knew that when she pulled the trigger. Being the sister of a mob boss has it's perks.
@Hopper33 yeah and he analysed it as such? Did you think you did something by pointing out the fact that its a TV show? Good observation bud, glad you managed to catch that.
@@Tom-rs7gf aww are you defending your lover hopper? thats cute
@@Tom-rs7gf Yeah and so what if he’s gay?
Before she shot him the second time, Janice should have said: "What are you looking at......you gonna cry now?" 😆
Yes!
That would have been funny.
I'm surprised nobody thought to do it
Because she was in shock that whole time.
That would've been sick. LOL
That would’ve been perfect! To bad you didn’t write this scene!!!
It's impressive that Janice made it through the entire series without getting whacked.
Love the hand holding ritchies chair as hes going back
I liked when Tony walks in, sees Richie dead on the floor, then smiles. Classic
He didn’t smile
@@jimmyhopkins159just finished it rn, tony is actually relived to see Richie is dead and lets a brief smile come over him before talking to Janice
@@thedudeman445i remember similar reaction from myself like "oh, tony wont have to worry about richie's shenanigans anymore, what a relief"
I also think he's relieved to see that Janice wasn't luring him over there so Richie could kill him
@@jimmyhopkins159 Yeah Tony was happy. Before this scene he had a meeting with Silvio about getting rid of Richie.
The guy who played Richie did an incredible job.
Yeah I thought so to
Great Romanian actor
He had a sweet jacket
He was on Everybody Loves Raymond too... Played Stephania's father... :)
@morty pen that sounds like him talking
Literally, the only scene I like Janice
With all the tough guys in the show she was the only one tohave the balls to do what so many wanted to do . Very satisfying scene.
David Proval just killed it as Richie. Fabulous acting!
That was always Richie and he played David Proval in life
His range is substantial. He played a gentle, soft-spoken rabbi on the West Wing once.
"I'll build a ramp up to your ass, drive a Lionel up in there."
I think Proval's Richie Aprile performance is on a short list of greatest villains of all time. Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men is right up there, too.
@@bartstewart8644 bardem in NCFOM is #1 not just up there
«That black hole upstairs» gets me every time. What a way to describe your mother 🤣 The writing on this show was just amazing.
You've been blessed never to live in a dysfunctional family. I've heard that phrase used many times.
Honestly no better way to describe their mother, just sucks any joy out of the room
The writing was amazing. It was nowhere to be seen in the Many Saints of Newark though
@@fleatactical7390 did you kill them?
@@javierperalta7648 LOL!
it seems that the only reason these two were together was because neither of them could find someone else so the ending was inevitable
My favorite hit of the show.
The thing I liked the most about The Sopranos is that anyone who had it coming, got it.
Except for Paulie
@@doomeyer I got it worse of all. All my friends were dead, I (probably) betrayed tony. No kids, no wife. Just an old man. The only one left
Except for AJ
Adriana didn’t have it coming. That was entrapment.
Not the guy that assaulted melfie I honestly stopped watching after that scene for a minute it was so disturbing
Until you marry her, keep your hands in your pockets. Ironic that not following his own advice got him killed.
I thought they had gotten married earlier
@@ibs201 engaged
rot in hell if you think you should hit a woman.
@@alexbush714 it's a fucking line from the show. Jesus Christ calm the fuck down
It's always the same with such people
NEVER. mess with Janice.
The one time in the series I rooted for Janice.
This was easily one of the more gratifying moments on the show. Typically the violence makes me uncomfortable but this was just so dang deserved.
This was literally the most undeserved death on the show
@@user-iy6oe9kp4f how goofy
Richie was a violent piece of shit sociopath who took immense pleasure in hurting and killing people. He was also insanely disrespectful to the boss of that family, and tried to coast on the fact he was Jackie’s brother to escape punishment from his many sociopathic actions regarding Tony. The entire ordeal of him attempting to shake down Beansie and then going so far as to permanently injure or kill him when his intimidation ploy didn’t work. As the late great Charlie Murphy said, he was a habitual line stepper and he got what was coming to him in the end. Which was still more than what his defenseless victims received.
@@pugachevskobra5636 indeed but janice was just as bad, if not worse.
Great scene but I hated that Richie April’s died because he was such a great character and villain
Such amazing writing! To escalate from random domestic conversation to murder in two and a half minutes--those folks were at the top of their game.
It de escalates that easy too. When Tony comes home and tells Carmella about it then immediately switches to Carmella telling Tony to pick up Meadow for a dentist appointment or something like that .
It wasn't murder. It was the justified execution of an asshole.
I've never watched the show, what happened to her? Just curious cheers
Zero to 60 violence in 3 seconds. That's a page right out of Scorsese's book. Works every time!
Happens all the time. A woman in my county killed her daughter in an argument over collar greens at 2 AM. One stab to the Aorta and she was dead right there.
1:37 I watch this on repeat when having a bad or good day 👏🏿
1:37 Anyone ever realized how silly the punch sound effect is here? It sounds like something out of Spongebob.
Tony's reaction: mildly amused, and 100% relieved that he didn't have to do it himself. Jim Gs acting was fucking superb right here
The look on his face when he walks in and sees Richie flat on the floor 😅😂
This scene started out so peaceful. The background sound of oil simmering while cooking a steak and Richie slowly opening a bottle of red win. Then it turns to violence and Janice shooting him. Janice needed to be more patient with Richie, he was a good guy.
@@maxazzopardi7446 wtf 😭 Richie was a total dirt bag. He had what was coming
@@maxazzopardi7446 Fuck Richie. I was so happy he died. He didn't seem to realize that things have changed during his 10 years behind bars. He didn't want to adapt or adjust to Tony's way of managing things. Not only that, he savagely ran over Binsy for no good reason, crippling him for life, and for that alone I'm happy he got what he deserved, the undermining prick.
@@maxazzopardi7446 He punched her in the face(sorry, that automatically makes him not a good guy) and then sat down to eat the dinner she was cooking(which makes him a pus-filled d**khole). Then taunted her like they were in the schoolyard. He deserved every bullet.
One of my favourite aspects of the Sopranos is, that lots of the deaths were really unexpected. You rarely saw them coming. The killings happened because the killers were driven by their emotions. The scenes where Cristopher kills his friend, and when Tony kills Ralph is very similar to this. None of those were planned, the characters just acted as they FELT, and many times it wasn't benefitial for them. No calculation, just letting your rage or disappointment take control over your body.
Tell that to "Big Pussy". His parts are swimming with the fishes. Haha.
The gay was planned . The rat was as well .
@@blitzbees890 A lot of the deaths were planned, of course. This is a mob show after all. But they weren't as memorable as the ones I mentioned (with some exceptions).
Phil and Jimmy but yea not as memorable as this one, it seemed so real
@@MattCarter1999 That's true, i agree.
This scene NEVER gets old.
The only good wholesome thing Janice ever did❤
Janice being Janice…not only did she shoot him once, she shot him twice. One of the best scenes of the entire series.
She remembered to double tap
It was an accident
Once it was started, she was done if she didn't damn well finish it
Then tells Tony it was an accident, but that was no accident when she intentionally fired off the second round and instantly finishes off the miserable parasite.
I wish she would've EMPTIED IT into his vile carcass. As bad as I felt watching the scene where Adrianna was killed... this is the direct opposite. I really enjoyed watching ( the Ritchie character ) him get his just desserts. He was such an evil fucker. I have to say it again. I wish she would've emptied the clip into his vile carcass.
She was still a Soprano. If Richie had thought about it at all, he should have realized that it might be dangerous to fuck with somebody who can make a phone call to get rid of your body.
One of the best scenes of the series.
Something about this scene, as it unfolds .. gives me a sigh of relief .. for her😎
Funny how Richie told Christopher not to lay his hands on Adriana till he gave her his last name... Should've followed his own advice 😁
Joseph, it's all too true.
there's so much of that symmetry in this show, it's what makes it so great
why people say “should of” instead of “should have”? why people do?
@@SobeCrunkMonster, it's because they're too lazy to study grammar.
Richie also said he'd take him apart piece by piece if he hit Adriana again. Chris and furio literally cut him up into pieces .
Ironic that Richie threatened to kill Christopher for raising his hand to his niece and then gets done by the woman he raised his hand to....Sopranos always had twists like this. Best series ever.
foreshadowing?
Just saw this episode last night and that was definitely what I thought about
This was a good scene because you didn’t expect it! no hit by a gangster! just a woman who has simply had enough
I still remember thinking "Holy shit! She did it!" Unforgettable scene
Way to go Janice. He had no remorse for punching Janice in the face and actually taunts her by saying "You gonna cry now"? He would've eventually killed Janice and she knew it. Better him than you.
I didn't get that he would've killed her, he just didn't like her combativeness, he wasn't even expressing disappointment and disapproval towards her, but was venting about his son and his sense of honor and legacy. Her modern feminist programming told her to take offense and that's when he punched her, and good for him.
Good for him for punching her?? What?? You’re wild lol
Honestly i think that was him expressing his guilt.
@@benjaminraponi5399 I'm being playful when I say that, not so much to punch a woman, but unless you're a fa-gg-ot, you have to make it clear to women who is who in the relationship. Unless you're a fa-gg-ot but you don't hit her. But she can't feel comfortable being aggressive with men and so he set her straight, and then she set him straight.
@@theconsciousobserver6829 Do you smoke crack or...
Ironically Richie wound up breaking his own rule that he'd chastised Chrissie over earlier in the season regarding "giving her your name before you put your hand on her".
I thought they were already married at this point
@@o.gparamount3099 no they were talking about the ceremony here. They never got married.
Ok i didnt realize that
@@o.gparamount3099 Check the "New Jersey Bride" magazine its the last thing book he ever looked at ironically!
Because Richie, like most characters on the show, is a hypocritical asshat with no actual principles
Crazy Richie underestimated Janice, she's deadly like her brother. He pushed her ovef the edge when he mocked her😊
Love how Ricky made those Death noises after the 1st bullet he knew he was done
i love how he thought she was just being hysterical when she pointed the gun at him and then his look of total disbelief when she pulled the trigger
Its like the scene in Sicario1
Richie was such a narcissist. He not only didn’t grasp how negatively his behavior affected others, he simply didn’t care. He expected everyone to be intimidated by his tough guy act. Janice gave Richie the ultimate well deserved payback.
@@kepckatherinec805 this is what happens if a narcissist tries to mess with another narcissist.
@@alexspader Yeah, Ritchie was truly out of his league dealing with a woman who was raised by the Devil incarnate. I guess Janice had some sexual magic going on to keep getting these guys because they all had zero idea of what kind of monster they were going to bed with.
And she delivered the coup de grâce like a seasoned pro. Quick learner, must run in the family....
I’ve got to say that this is one of the most truly satisfying whacking’s of this show . Richie truly had it coming to him .
Crazy Seattle hippie deserved a good smack. No defending fanooks.
I couldn’t agree more! Out of all the problem children Tony had Richie was definitely the worst of them.
I never watched the Sopranos when it was first broadcast. After watching these video shorts for about a year I bought the complete BluRay set. I just received it today!
I love how Richie rolls backwards like a turtle upside down
"Aw, are you gonna cry now? " Answer: "nope, I'm gonna blow you away, you arrogant jackass.". That must have felt so good.
Why? You think murder is a valid response to getting a jab to the face?
@@A-small-amount-of-peas Yes IT is
@@A-small-amount-of-peascheck any Police video cams.
@@Rastamanjungle I have and the vast majority of them do not get shot execution style immediately afterwards but I guess you only watch the ones that go viral?
@@A-small-amount-of-peas not a single one ends on execution on my country. There are whole UA-cam channels about Police shooting people even when justified they just shoot people.

At least Janice could rest easy knowing Tony buried Ritchie on a hill, overlooking a little river with pine cones all around.
