"We're all just Anthony giggling on our laptops wasting our lives with pointless bullshit. And that was 15 years ago, it's clearly only gotten way worse. Most of us are far more like AJ than we would like to admit, so are most of the guys we know."
"Reminds me of the one legged blonde Russian on sopranos. I love her so much."

"Chet Hanks was kidnapped and sent to one of those 2000s Vito Spatafore Jr-style Wilderness camps by his parents like Brace Belden--makes me see him in a whole new light"
"What else sucks? Don't even bother commenting anything bad about Sopranos, True Detective, or The Wire, let's not get carried away."

"The laboured breathing, the constant wheezing, and the chewing sounds add a visceral layer of disgust. His physical deterioration mirrors Tony's spiritual decay, culminating in the murder of Chrissy, a man suffering from the same disease."
Tony is truly revolting in the last season of The Sopranos · phil_shah_iran · ↑423 · 2024-10-14

"We had episodes of the sopranos 20 years ago that had Neapolitan Italians mocking our Jersey wops as commentary on our idiocy. Now there are people with don corleone back tattoos as the norm."
"Anyway. I'm halfway through season 5 of the sopranos and by god do I want to join the mafia. they seem to have so much fun."
"AJ getting really into gym culture and looksmaxxing, only to get severely injured from squatting too much"

"If he makes even a token effort to quit drinking, which he might not, he's going to last about 3 days before the alcohol demon claws its way out and he goes Ralph Cifaretto on a call girl."

It's insane how bad television is now · u/Level_Long_926 · ↑278 · 2024-08-11
"You think some nu metal 'rips' even though most people didn't take it seriously at the time? How bold! Don't tell me you also like twin peaks and the sopranos"
"In the 2000s and most of the 2010s these two shows stood side by side in public opinion and by those into goodmedia. And now you barely hear about The Wire, and when it's brought up people don't like it as much anymore and The Sopranos is clear etc."
Why did The Sopranos become so ascendant vs The Wire in modern day culture? · u/froufroufoxesinmidsu · ↑267 · 2024-01-30
"Yesterday I had a bbq and I bought cigars so I could look like Tony while I was grilling. Ppl were coming up to me like "great look, there's something about that cigar" and they had no idea I took the Tonypill"
I literally just did a Tony Soprano impression · u/LeonidKrasinsBalls · ↑263 · 2022-08-29
"This place has never been that different from the rest of Reddit with how much people post Sopranos quotes. It's embarrassing and transparent and these people aren't getting called out enough for assisting in the flattening of what was once a good place to frequent"
"So much variation in their sound over the course of their career and of course were played for the strippers at the Ba Da Bing"

"Me and a couple other guys in my fraternity started watching sopranos a couple months ago. We really like it and have begun watching multiple episodes every night. I've noticed we're starting to emulate some traits from the show. We've been going to the butcher and buying gabagool recently. We also "
Is it normal to take on traits of movie/tv characters? · u/[deleted] · ↑198 · 2021-12-15
"Never watched an episode of the show in my life, only seen pictures of him online. He's not even really my type because I'm racist against Italians, particularly Italian Americans. It was so realistic though, I could literally feel the warmth of his breath against my neck and his hands on my boobs. "
"when you post any kind of Soprano content anywhere on the internet (ig, twitter, facebook) men from all walks of life just start commenting lines from the show, just verbatim. Hope we never lose that :)"
It's kinda endearing to see · u/bababhosad93 · ↑188 · 2023-12-24
"For some it might not make sense comparing these two but in my opinion The Sopranos and Breaking Bad share a lot of similarities both culturally and mood wise. Plus these are both hard willed women married to unstable men with high ranking positions in organized crime."
"I'm a first-gen Balkan and I see this play out a lot around me, similar to the Sopranos. Meadow gets educated, becomes a lawyer. AJ is a depressed layabout."
"I think from a narrative standpoint it makes him more interesting to be somebody who *chooses* to be a monster despite having a conscience and knowing how fucked up his life is, and makes his spiral down towards the bloated, disgusting man he is by 6B all that more tragic. He could be better and he "
"This is the same network that gave us the sopranos, the wire, boardwalk empire, etc so relax."

"Christopher from The Sopranos is a great example - unlike Tony he's not particularly cool or smart or strong. He's an average guy who in the end is really not cut out for mob life but is in way too deep and just keeps destroying himself by trying to prove that he's boss material when he's pretty obv"
Good books movies etc with protagonists who are genuine losers · u/decapitant · ↑164 · 2023-03-06
"Tony should have never killed Ralph. Yeah he was a loose cannon but a good crew needs a guy like that and he was a good earner. Fucked up that he disrespected the bing though."
"Collaborated with his SIL on a business deal (killing nephew) Always down in the muff Never one to hide his emotions Accepted his nephew seeing a shrink (eventually) Tried to mentor Carter Chong Uncle June was ahead of his time."

"Vito, throughout his relatively brief run in the series, is portrayed as something of a paragon of masculinity. Patsy and Paulie make a point of noting that "he's a married man, with a goomar", later exclaiming that "he's a married man, with kids", emphasizing both his insatiable sexual appetite for"

"It's not like the soprano's where literally everyone is a gigantic asshole but has at least the tiniest sliver of a redeeming quality which in turn says something about the human condition."

"She said she hates the idea of cooking Christmas dinner again so I took it upon myself to do it all for her so she can sleep in. Come Christmas she secretly wanted to do it all along but I wouldn't let her apparently."
"The Sopranos has some of the most darkly hilarious pre and post 9/11 era cultural commentary, but so much of the show is also a pretty whacky goofy parody of Italians and the mafia."
"Already just rewatched sopranos, veep, the wire, breaking bad, mad men and deadwood"

"AJ Soprano was literally me. I grew up at the perfect time to absolutely love all nu-metal bands."
"I'm sick of all podcasts, barley can get through any of them anymore, terminally online losers who have zero life beyond twitter, infighting, politics, it's all become so so tiresome. Literally the only thing that's getting me through right now is working out and watching Sopranos with my dad."

"Sopranos, Malcolm in the Middle, Simpsons, they all pop up at some point. Growing up I unironically thought this was a just common thing with you guys, why was this in this zeitgeist at the time."
"they drunk texted me about a few days after the breakup telling me that they're going as Paulie from the sopranos it's their friend (which hurt because it's a show we started together)"
"I've been thinking, and I apologize for my use of fowl language in regards to yourself. You said some very hurtful things to me in regards to myself. But it is still no excuse to use the vile word that I used of which I am sure you know that I'm talking about... P.S. I'm doing fine, Anthony."
