@@alfa-psi I know it's meant to be funny, but it actually sounds kind of lonely. And now we all wonder: do you set the table and prepare food every day for several people, but end up eating alone each and every time? That sounds like denial. Or do you -as the tv-series- eat your meal in not 1 but 10 to 15 takes, after which you praise yourself for keeping everything in exactly the same place? That's sounds like a coping mechanism at best. Or perhaps you're halfway there of going completely mad. Wait... Is your comment nothing more than a cry for help?
What's with the all the hostility here? This is a cool scene of an ethnic family having dinner. Reminds me of my own screwed up Mexican family discussing Mexican-American history as we chow down on spaghetti and garlic bread.
+JRFrancisco20088> Did you cover that spaghetti with tomato based sauce/gravy? Well, Italy famous for its tomatoes got those tomatoes initially from the Americas. The conquistadors (in Peru) brought them to Europe. Prior to the 15th century Italy had no tomatoes. There's nothing "screwed up" about your family discussing its people's history while eating food you think is heavily associated with another culture. That's a good sign sign isn't it? The discussion moves rather well when eating what you desire rather than what you think you ought to be eating to avoid some cultural political conflict on a specific day. You gotta eat! Some foods becomes so ingrained and adoptive we hardly ever consider any possible foreign origin. On Superbowl Sunday, or on NFL draft day more American football fans pig out more on pizza and subs than we do on hotdogs. I live in Texas where what used to be called the "American pastime" baseball, sells as much tacos and nachos as dogs and burgers, yet we don't see any conflict. Perhaps the most identifiable universal American food we can identify ourselves with is the "french" fry! The fry is as American as it may be French. So, JR keep the discussion going about your heritage and don't feel guilty about what you eat on any given day. You can argue country origin of food, but it shouldn't mean you must abstain from that food on periods of discussion because it may not be indigenous to your culture. Thus I have no qualms about eating fajitas and gulping down a Modelo on July 4th to celebrate America's birthday. Bon Appetit!
+A J Oh Well American Dream is dead because it has very horrific history. No one wants to talk about absolute genocide of Native Americans. Thats why no one wants to talk about colonialism, enslavement etc. Huge amount of European(mostly Irish+Slavic), African(mixed) slaves were taken to build this land.... America is the only "successful"(as morbid as it sounds) colony of British, and the reason for its success was 1. huge diversity in people(which created competitive structure for society) and 2. complete genocide of people who lived there.... Tony is speaking about how nobody cares where u from until they want something from you, and being American-Italian used to be a huge thing due to their accomplishment in many wars, he feels ashamed and pissed that one of "his" people are here to make career out of chasing American-Italians.(Obviously he is wrong cause he is the "Criminal mastermind" but in his mind it all makes sense)

“He’ll see. He’ll learn.” Yea by the end of the show he learned the true joy and happiness provided by the mafia for themselves and to their loved ones and completely flipped sides. That was my favorite part of the whole show.
It was actually Innocenzo Manzetti who first came up with the concept of the telephone back in 1844. Meucci submitted a patent for a telephone, for two years. But he let it lapse, and Bell built his working telephone. A lot of people were working on the idea of telephone communications back in the mid to late 1800s, but Bell was the first one to have a working prototype.
@@ForzzaItalliaaa let’s talk about it you dumb: italians may not invented Flying cars but Enrico Bernardi invented internal combustion engine; Alessandro Volta invented Electryc Batteries who you probably use everyday; Guglielmo Marconi invented The Radio; Amati invented The Violin and Bartolomeo Cristofori invented The Piano; Federico Faggin invented The Microchip and Alfonso Bialetti invented The Moka for making coffe:Italo Marchioni in 1903 created The first Ice Cream who surely you genious eated at least one time in your life no?

Funny how here tony says that agent harris was the "biggest sneak" and how his demeanor was just an "act" and then, in the end, he ended up befriending him
Poor Tony....always secretly wondering why it’s gotta fuggin be Meadow whose by far most in step with both Tony’s thinking and bullshit and any bullshit thinking🚬🚬🚬
Ain't Meadow just like the younger generation? She's happy to attack her father for what he does for a living WHILE living off the benefits of it in a GLORIOUS mansion where money really doesn't matter? Like the virtue signalling youth who hashtag shit and feel they're 'changing the world' from their air conditioned condos. Let Meadow talk to Johnny Boy like that - back in the day! 'Pow! Right in the kisser! Don't get me steamed, Alice!'
@@freddybeer Meadow was only a child growing up in a completely disfunctional family that managed to see through all the bullshit her father was spouting. Tony here is trying to take the moral high ground and talk like he's the oppressed one, instead of just owning up to the fact that he's a piece of shit. That's why he hides behind the fact that some Italians did great stuff in history, because he can't use himself as an example as he knows he's a bad guy. Hence why Meadow pushes his buttons with the Cosa Nostra, as she knows he's full of shit. A smart kid if you ask me.
It’s cool how Carmela says Harris wasn’t that bad and by the end of the show Agent Harris is basically a part of Tony’s crew with all the information he gave him
@@nickjito Frank Sinatra - One of the greatest musical artists of the 20th century. I’m not sure why he said it and smiled like that but I’m guessing maybe it’s because tony and carmella both liked his music. Sinatra had a lot of romantic songs.
They should have also mentioned an Italian by the name of Marconi invented the wireless radio. Or Galileo coming up with gravity and weights. Also the Galileo thermometer measuring density. Also, newspapers were done in Italy.
Best acting of the entire series. I used to coach girls sports, and the faces and eyerolls they'd make when pwning someone were priceless, just like this 🤣
@@mzudemartin Not to mention, Mussolini waged war on the Mafia in the old country, so that certainly didn't win him any favors with Cosa Nostra in America.
Funny thing, I'm from a Jewish family and they do the same but it's even worse because we're in every country so it usually goes like "this thing was invented by a Russian" and someone will say "ah, but he was a Russian Jew!" so we practically invented everything, according to them
I had to listen & re-listen to catch all those names in the last few seconds of this scene. Then I googled. Very interesting Wikipedia article on Sacco & Vencetti (so now I know) and I am now aware that Francis Albert was referring to Frank Sinatra (which explains why Carmela & Tony shared that look...) Gosh I miss James Gandolfini and The Sopranos....

Italians talking about Italians while eating Chinese food will never not be funny
1:17 AJ definitely broke the tension here.
1:47 Italian son asks his Italian father if spaghetti was invented by the Chinese? That's a death sentence
When you watch these videos it just takes you into a comfort zone,
RIP James, you are still the best.
Rip James much love from Italy ❤
Best show ever! Nothing can top what david chase and the actors did in this visual media!
This Italian-American logic is absolutely flawless.
The Soprano Kids were portrayed by such talented actors, they're keeping up in scenes with James Gandolfini and Edie Falco
It was actually Innocenzo Manzetti who first came up with the concept of the telephone back in 1844.
Meucci submitted a patent for a telephone, for two years. But he let it lapse, and Bell built his working telephone.
A lot of people were working on the idea of telephone communications back in the mid to late 1800s, but Bell was the first one to have a working prototype.
Still Italian
@@sendmeyourlocation1145 Yeah but its not he achieved anything, sure had the idea, but not the results.
@@calumbrunton8344 exactly, Italians will tell you they invented flying cars but didn’t contribute to anything
Quasi Modo predicted all of this
@@ForzzaItalliaaa let’s talk about it you dumb: italians may not invented Flying cars but Enrico Bernardi invented internal combustion engine; Alessandro Volta invented Electryc Batteries who you probably use everyday; Guglielmo Marconi invented The Radio; Amati invented The Violin and Bartolomeo Cristofori invented The Piano; Federico Faggin invented The Microchip and Alfonso Bialetti invented The Moka for making coffe:Italo Marchioni in 1903 created The first Ice Cream who surely you genious eated at least one time in your life no? Thanks to an italian; Galileo Galilei born in Pisa invented The compass and Telescope; Leonardo Da Vinci may not invented fliyng cars but sure he progected The first tank in 1485 and invented parachute; do i have to tell you what Roman Empire invented? Or should I tell you how much Italian designer influenced the world?Just look at how Gucci or Versace or Fendi influenced American rap world, probably even you or someone of your family have a Gucci belt in your house, am American talking shit about Italia is hilarious, just the fact that was an Italian discovering America 😂😂😂
Funny that Bank of America was founded by an Italian and it was originally called Bank of Italy.
Funny how here tony says that agent harris was the "biggest sneak" and how his demeanor was just an "act" and then, in the end, he ended up befriending him
*snake
"Is there somthin' you want to say to me?"
I'm pretty sure she just did...
I actually think Tony liked Meadow Meadow pushing his buttons
@D'lish Donut
Wincest
Poor Tony....always secretly wondering why it’s gotta fuggin be Meadow whose by far most in step with both Tony’s thinking and bullshit and any bullshit thinking🚬🚬🚬
Ain't Meadow just like the younger generation? She's happy to attack her father for what he does for a living WHILE living off the benefits of it in a GLORIOUS mansion where money really doesn't matter? Like the virtue signalling youth who hashtag shit and feel they're 'changing the world' from their air conditioned condos. Let Meadow talk to Johnny Boy like that - back in the day! 'Pow! Right in the kisser! Don't get me steamed, Alice!'
@@freddybeer Meadow was only a child growing up in a completely disfunctional family that managed to see through all the bullshit her father was spouting. Tony here is trying to take the moral high ground and talk like he's the oppressed one, instead of just owning up to the fact that he's a piece of shit. That's why he hides behind the fact that some Italians did great stuff in history, because he can't use himself as an example as he knows he's a bad guy. Hence why Meadow pushes his buttons with the Cosa Nostra, as she knows he's full of shit. A smart kid if you ask me.
That look that Carmella gives him @ 1:15… better than 4 pages of dialogue. Awesome!
"And of course...Francis Albert"
Jesus, i miss this show so much
Who the heck is that?
+Benny Palma seriously?... Frank Sinatra
Lol I guess I should wikipedia more often!
Wow, sorry we’re not as cultured as you.
Never seen a family dinner table conversation written more realistically on TV, with the kids and parents not understanding each other's references.
Man the food looks so good in this scene now im hungry
Very relatable, raised in an Italian and Polish American family.
Can just picture in my head the dinner arguments about how great the Roman empire and Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth were
Greatest Show of all Time. Grew Up watching this on HBO. Rip James Gandolfini - What a Legend !
They probably frisk him every night before he goes home. The dialogue on this show was second to none.
Damn Chinese spare ribs are the bomb..
yea,,but maybe because they come from those poor dogs...they kill,eat and then sell their meat ....😡😠
@@valeriebursiaga253 stfu valerie you dumb kid
@@valeriebursiaga253How do you turn dog meat into spare ribs genius lol
The eating on this show always made me hungry 😂
That spaghetti logic gets me every time!🤣
I love it, especially given how Italians actually just shoveled pasta into their mouths with bare hands
It’s cool how Carmela says Harris wasn’t that bad and by the end of the show Agent Harris is basically a part of Tony’s crew with all the information he gave him
Whenever there’s a crime nearby, I make sure to tell the cops I saw two Italian guys running down the alley
"Tony, is there helium in this room?"
"Carm, I told you, we're tryin ta avoid the copyright! Madonn'!'
Tony’s face when he says Francis Albert so damn funny and the way he takes a bite 🤣
Who is Francis Albert and why do Tony and Carm make that face at each other?
@@nickjito Frank Sinatra - One of the greatest musical artists of the 20th century. I’m not sure why he said it and smiled like that but I’m guessing maybe it’s because tony and carmella both liked his music. Sinatra had a lot of romantic songs.
I appreciate Tony's aggressive eating. You ever want to really get your point across over dinner with someone, you follow that
I wonder how come Amerigo Vespucci didn't come up in the conversation.
Or Marconi..
@@smoothvirus Or Mussolini..
Somewhere between Leif Erikson and Columbus..
@Google Needs TobeBombed inventor of fascism
Or Galileo.
I'm always hungry after watching an episode of the Sopranos.
This is such a classic scene, one of the first iconic moments of the series
Those spare ribs were my favourite character in the show, I wish they did more with them.
Young AJ was so much more tolerable than older AJ, and that's even a stretch.
Season one of the sopranos is some of the best. These early scenes remind me of my childhood
They should have also mentioned an Italian by the name of Marconi invented the wireless radio. Or Galileo coming up with gravity and weights. Also the Galileo thermometer measuring density. Also, newspapers were done in Italy.
This was a satirical scene. Showing how proud of Italy Tony appears to be, yet knowing next to nothing about the country.
@@cbrtdgh4210 He was actually correct about Antonio Meucci. Carmela was also correct about John Cabot.
I read that as an Italian by the name of macaroni
1:15-1:17
Look at that sassy smirk 😏 and little head shake... when she says “Bonano, Profacci...”
🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Meadow was killing it with her adorable intellect.
Best acting of the entire series. I used to coach girls sports, and the faces and eyerolls they'd make when pwning someone were priceless, just like this 🤣
I am a first generation mongolian-jew-arab with Scottish roots and i love this video .
If you have enough patience , you can literally watch the whole series as clips on youtube.
So many Italian Americans fought in WW2... and they didn't even change sides!
@Somali Kid well maybe they fought for America because it was the new home. The land of hope and opportunity, while Italy was facist.
@Somali Kid Right and Italy also didn't "switch sides" the commies started a revolution while America invaded and toppled the government.
@@mzudemartin Not to mention, Mussolini waged war on the Mafia in the old country, so that certainly didn't win him any favors with Cosa Nostra in America.
you got something you want to say to me?!
@Eric Kim 😂😂...you're writing a pile of shit, fucking illiterate.
You have no idea how realistic this scene. I’m Russian and every time at the dinner table, my folks talk about all the Russian accomplishments.
I dont want to hear anymore about Alexander the Great!!
Fuck! I meant to say Peter.
Funny thing, I'm from a Jewish family and they do the same but it's even worse because we're in every country so it usually goes like "this thing was invented by a Russian" and someone will say "ah, but he was a Russian Jew!" so we practically invented everything, according to them
I love how Meadow makes him uneasy by bringing up who invented the mafia
_THERE IS NO MAFIA!!!!!!!!!!_ ...................................................................................................... 😡
Just ate my plate of spaghetti with you guys thanks
This clip teaches more about Italian-American history than any US history course does in middle/high school.
"So what? No fuckin' ziti now?"
I had to listen & re-listen to catch all those names in the last few seconds of this scene. Then I googled. Very interesting Wikipedia article on Sacco & Vencetti (so now I know) and I am now aware that Francis Albert was referring to Frank Sinatra (which explains why Carmela & Tony shared that look...) Gosh I miss James Gandolfini and The Sopranos....
Vanzetti
I love this scene. One of my favourites in the entire series.
i like the bit on noodles lol.
Phil Leotardo invented the _radiata grilla cheeso,_ the famous Italian dish associated with his infamous 20 years in the can.
“And of course, Francis Albert!” Sinatra is everywhere!!!
Tony's voice is legendary ❤️
Meadow forgot to name the Lupertazzi family.
Johnny Sack would be outraged at the blatant disrespect
You call that disrespect? What if they disrespected your proud Italian heritage and named you after a ballet costume?
She'll never be a made guy after that slip.
Hahah that last line about Sinatra and Carmella's smile. Wholesome.
