Historically, Carmine always said the Sopranos theories was nothing more than a glorified channel. Plain and simple, We decapitate, and we do business with Borko.
Not only was he a good boss, i think he's one of the best side characters of the whole show. He is so brilliantly written with how small his role is and how little of a scene he has. In all of those scenes, he perfectly represents the cunning, manipulative, and smart boss. I love watching all his scenes because somebody can point out the little detail in his character, and it would enhance him tenfold. The fact that he subtly brings Tony down by mentioning the psychiatrist, pat under Tony's coat to check for wire, even the more obvious ones like manipulating his son or Tony to whack Johnny Sack. Not to mention, he is extremely funny and entertaining to watch. He is just as good of a character as his son, imo. Maybe even more.
You mean as good as is son like funny ? He will be, even more so. But until now, it will be hard to verify that you think he will be as funny as his son
Carmine Jr, wasn't dumb, he is richer than his old man by legal means, and did the right thing to stay away from the conflict while both sides killed each other, and took the remans for him with butch on his side.
Yea, while I don’t think he was playing 5D galaxy-brain chess but he knew a good opportunity when he saw it. Which is why I don’t think he orchestrated the war but he most certainly benefited from it none the less. If anything his way was more “take a step back and let everyone else sink their own ship.” Which is what happened, he knew it was best to have a smaller ego than all the big ego personalities that surrounded him and it paid off.
When I first watched the series, I didn't think much of Carmine Sr. at all. Now I think he's a fascinating character, and the most competent mobster who isn't named Livia. It's fun studying how he runs his family before his naturally occurring death!
That's an interesting theory. Could also explain how he stated boss for so long. Would be like The Departed's Frank Costello, didn’t give up anyone who wasn't going down already.
John mentioned in jail that Carmine would not put a hit on someone if they were bringing in money. No matter how bad the offense was. Once they stopped bringing in money, then he would green light the hit.
I'm a new subscriber as of today. Watched several of your vids last night and doing more now. You're doing a very good job. I always considered him (Carmine Sr.) the same as you, the boss of all bosses throughout the series. Whatever power Tony had, and Tony had some, Carmine Sr. had 10X the power, 10X the muscle and 20x the $$$.
You got it reversed actually. Carmine had other revenue streams aside from construction when at the time John didn't. So Carmine's decision to shut down their joint construction projects hurt John the most. One amazing part about the shows writing is highlighting the Cosa Nostra ability to say something without actually saying it. The conversation between Carmine telling Tony to whack Johnny Sac and Tony telling Ralph that Jackie Jr needs to go and it's Ralphs fault that lead to that illustrates that beautifully...
Well-written & well-acted character. The connection with Castellano is tendentious. Carmine was a business-minded racketeer. Big Paul was a businessman. Carmine’s ingenuity was a gravy train for others, such as when Uncle Junior earned a Fleetwood through point shaving. Paul refused to let the Gambino street faction wet its beak in his rackets. If anyone is based partly on Castellano, it’s Junior himself in his brief but greedy & tone-deaf stint as boss. Also, there’s been no boss of bosses since Luciano had Masseria & Maranzano whacked, & nothing in the Sopranos suggests Carmine has any power over other NY families.
Carmine was the least homicidal and most honorable mobster in the whole show. He only killed when it was ultimately necessary and as the very last resource.
Carmine was the one character that represented all the NY families, and in that position presented a steady force of the character. He was well liked and certainly respected. He bestowed on us a wonderfully off beat character in Carmine Jr. who probably today is still running things in the BK. Yeah Carmine Sr....Tony Lip....great character, great story. The Boss
Interesting perspective. You are, however, incorrect. Carmine Sr. was, in fact, a D+, over-all. Fact is that Carmine and John were in business with Jersey, constantly and intimately. This "acceptance of Jersey as an actual family" was never seen by the other New York families. We hear Carmine slander Jersey as a glorified crew. However, that comes off as something Carmine has heard the other, more superior, New York bosses say repeatedly to each other for the past 30 years. I suspect that every other New York boss considered Carmine to be the runt. That is my take. edit- Also... Carmine Sr. valued money over this thing of theirs. John should have been granted his request.
I had recently bought the box set at a reduced price and it was my first time watching The Sopranos. What can you say? F***ing brilliant 😂 I enjoyed it. Loved the finale and it really gets you going on all the possibilities. I went through hopefully he lives to he probably got whacked. But I have four theories of what happened in the end. 1. Tony gets whacked. 2. Tony lives by way counter hitmen. Tony knew all the ways of how the mafia and had counter hitmen in the diner. 3. The Feds arrest him at the moment Meadow comes in and that’s the end of his reign. Tony ends up in a situation like Johnny Sacks with his assets frozen and years in prison. 4. Meadow dies like how it went down on Godfather 3 but this least believable of the four. David Chase was brilliant to leave us on that note.
I bet Carmine may have had a suspicion about what Tony and Johnny were planning during the disagreement over the real estate scams. Deciding to go from not backing down on his share to settling just as moves are being made behind him is a little convenient. Maybe he got a feeling that something was happening, he did survive at the head of a criminal organization for a long time.
Considering the amount Of money tabled about in the show I don’t think Johnny sack house & car Were too much for carmine or any boss to get. This is like 20-25 years ago Real estate prices & car prices were cheaper $1,000,000-2,000,000 for a house & $100,000 for a car is nothing crazy
During the fat joke situation, Carmine did what every good machivallian boss would do by not rocking the boat to keep his own pockets full of money. Johnny Sack, exposed himself as greedy and not a usefull accomplice that puts how own needs behind those of the boss, that´s why Carmine called in the union and drained Sack´s resources, he already plant to make him less and less important so he could be killed off later. Carmine knew exactly what he did in this case, if you watch this character closely, you see his low power plays and smart tactics.
Tony is a terrible boss....almost all of his captains had flipped and most of them hated him, he had one loyal guy (Silvio)....The show tells us repeatedly Tony isn't a good boss.
How was Tony seen in a weaker manner, according to “old school”? Carmine said straight to Tony’s face that he has no issue with therapy. “Be a better friend to yourself.” I think you’re reaching there.
I love all your stuff, but you are talking out of your ass here… I can see the connection you are drawing between Castilian and Carmine, but Carmine was a street guy and respected, and Castilian was viewed as a businessman. Also There is NO boss of bosses, the commission is briefly mention by Tony and Johnny, while talking about whacking Carmine, “it’s not like Castelo”, were the exact world of Johnny if I remember correctly, acknowledging the commission in the sopranos and castelano as a former commissioner.
He didnt "side with Ralph" thats a dumb dishonest misrepresentation of that situation. He had no proof of what was said. He was told he'd get what he wanted if he said who told him, and they backed it up. He refused, end of story
Dont think thats weird for a video like this? People only call Carmela "Carm" so im guessing thats who you're talking about, I dont remember who's cousin it was but you haven't mentioned Carmela yet in the video. If you mean her, say Carmela. Dont say "Carm" for a video ABOUT a different character, with the exact same preface in their name lmao. And ppl gonna like "well go watch the show again" but its obvious half the people who watch these videos do it IN PLACE of watching the show
it's amazing that you can get so many views with such lazy imitations of videos the better sopranos commentators have already posted ages ago, without even adding any analysis or commentary of your own. why don't you try making a video about something you actually have something to say about?
yeah its really annoying, seems like most people don't even notice too which is a little concerning. These AI narrated chanels all blow ass and theyre making accounts in literally every part of youtube and pumping out chopped up videos that have already been made and put these annoying voices over them. I must have disliked and blocked like 100+ channels in the past year all doing this same bullshit, and its what Ill be doing after I finish this comment For all I know the whole script of the video was just made with chatgpt too lol. I don't know why the guy running this channel picked Chills voice and inflection to narrate cause holy shit I really don't think its even possible for a voice to be more unbearable to listen to
I loved the Sopranos but the various families, bosses, scams, double crosses and who hated who was confusing over the years. I enjoyed the occasional black humor as well as the well acted drama.
Carmine was best boss on the show, because it was all about the money nothing personal. My option I think Carmine had his pick to succeeded him it will be Tony, he took a special interest in Tony . Like him Tony was about the money. But, to Tony othere things , and personal beefs got in the way.

He was, quite literally, an OG. Basically Carlo Gambino fictionalized.

@@Carmine_Lupertazzi *kicks a fat envelope up to the boss*
Carmine was definitely the best boss on the show he wasn't a hot head he was calmer, and his decision we're fair
"With Paulie being a mole", he'd only be the second biggest mole Johnny Sack dealt with
Ooh!!!
I wonder if he was an FBI informant since he didn't get caught for so long, since he patted Tony down once to see if he's not doing the same.
Doubt it since Carmine was the big fish the feds were trying to catch.
If he was the Tony and johhny would be in prison for life
That's an interesting theory. Could also explain how he stated boss for so long. Would be like The Departed's Frank Costello, didn’t give up anyone who wasn't going down already.
He would have been caught lol. Some capo of the NY family ratted johnny out. It would have gone up to carmine if he was alive
@@SnowBird-jc5id True, they even said that at one point too. Lol
He was a real Don. He didn’t wear shorts.

John mentioned in jail that Carmine would not put a hit on someone if they were bringing in money. No matter how bad the offense was. Once they stopped bringing in money, then he would green light the hit.
There should be a boss rank tier in a video. Carmine to me is #1 because he's super cautious when it comes to business. He was an excellent character.
Fun Fact: The actor that played Carmine was the actual Tony Lip from Green Book
Tony Lip??? Tony B!
@@bosspure123123Fuckin’ Wierdo, if you ask me
Carmine was a real Pro. He was in another level

"Your father was run over by a trolley right?"
Carmine had major income OUTSIDE of construction, Johnny Sack did not. That's why he was trying to get Carmine clipped.
Smelled burning hair during this video
Wait a minute...Phil Leotardo did time in prison? Is this a well-known fact?
He was a cook. Made grilled cheese
@@kethrick8176 I heard he also led Kleenex quality control.
Yeah, but Phil was very subtle about letting people know about it…
How many years was he in the can for 19 years?

I took Sopranos Theories to dinner last night. Borko's got a big problem, kid.
Johnny Sack gotta be best husband next to Bobby Bacala
Why the dis against my fav character Little Carmine? He was the biggest winner on the show.
Is that because he realized his limitations without letting ego get in the way?
I liked carmine and always felt he was the best boss he was never emotional it was always about business rip tony lip
I bet Carmine may have had a suspicion about what Tony and Johnny were planning during the disagreement over the real estate scams. Deciding to go from not backing down on his share to settling just as moves are being made behind him is a little convenient. Maybe he got a feeling that something was happening, he did survive at the head of a criminal organization for a long time.
Junior had a lot of regard for Carmine, but I don’t think it was mutual.
best character in the show
They don’t say the Lupertazzis are the largest or most powerful of the 5 families. I personally got the vibe they were the smallest of them 5
Phil did time? I must have missed where they mentioned it.
Carmine was the best boss
He didn’t have the makings of a varsity athlete
6:52 “Possible whacking of John”
What do you mean? Carmine said nothing.
Considering the amount
Of money tabled about in the show
I don’t think Johnny sack house & car
Were too much for carmine or any boss to get. This is like 20-25 years ago
Real estate prices & car prices were cheaper
$1,000,000-2,000,000 for a house & $100,000 for a car is nothing crazy
Healthy as a rhino that one.
100 percent agree
Tony “dead (whacked) or in the can”. But that’s not how Carmine went out
"He asks about you "
3:04, Thank you for not repeating the joke, out of respect for Jonny Sack
A boss should never wear short pants
During the fat joke situation, Carmine did what every good machivallian boss would do by not rocking the boat to keep his own pockets full of money.

He got too greedy. He was a decent boss early on.
From season 1-5 he was decent season 6 though…. buddy might have been the worst don in history 😂
@@Crazy_e193I’ve often thought that Season 6 was Tony’s effort at self-destruction. That’s why I think he called in a hit on himself at the very end.
Ironically little Carmine isn't that big of an idiots because he never did time and seem a lot happier than Jhon or Tony
There’s no stigmata these days
How was Tony seen in a weaker manner, according to “old school”? Carmine said straight to Tony’s face that he has no issue with therapy.

Oh he was a horrible boss. Multiple capos either died or turned informant on his watch he brought his family to brink of oblivion with new york
So disrespectful…. To compare Carmine to Paul Castelanno…I think you meant Carlo Gambino
