Same here. There’s so much sopranos content but this one stands out big time. And like you said it’s nice to feel like I’m actually learning something.
As we say in Ireland Bully, yer some man for 1 man. You are rocking it. Another brilliant episode. "A man's touchy pride makes him dangerous " . Class.
@@bullywhispers9544 thanks for material Bully. Top class. I say with confidence that my next statement reflects, in my begod and begora opinion, at least 75% of the subscribers to your channel. Your effort, educated opinion and the professional manner in which you run your channel brings something special to fans of The Sopranos. Old or new, these dogs can still hunt. ❤. Keep up the good work
I would definitely love more character parallels. I think a discussion on why Carmine Jr turned out relatively better than say, Jackie and AJ, being thst they're all princes in a sense, would be pretty interesting
we never see jackie sr as a father but to judge from their kids, carmine sr appears to be the most competent at being a father, though not the most caring
I don't see Bobby as an "idiot", I see him as an external representation of a part of Tony. A character's interaction with/reaction to Bobby doesn't tell us about Bobby, it's tells us about themselves and their current subjective perception of and relationship to Tony.
I mentioned this recently on a precious video, but when Bobby finally got bumped up, he suddenly mysteriously began showing an impressive reserved wisdom and patience, all throughout the final season, beginning in my very favorite episode (not the best 2 diff things) Soprano Home Movies. Right up to his last scene in the blue comet talking with the salesman, he displays he's immune to the pitch but enjoys the trains, a least he died happy.
The murder changed him. Made him darker. Made him recognize the reality of his situation and he started to take his duties more seriously. No more baby tasks like taking care Junior. You're in the murder game now. This is the life we chose.
Just discovered your channel. I'm already a fan of these videos. You go into the Sopranos without falling into the pit of either being too pretentious, or sounding like a wannabe gangster.
Yeah you should totally do the Libya versus junior thing. I think her name was Nancy marshon, I might have to spelling wrong but she did a fantastic job it's very hard to play the villain convincingly especially when it could be so easy to do it like over-the-top she did it to where you truly felt like she was like this old woman that would run over one of her best friends unknowingly that was one of the hardest times I've ever laughed at any movie or TV in my entire life. I don't even know if he was playing that purely for labs but David Chase is a genius and I love the guy he did kind of mess up the ending but I love that he doesn't care about what people want it just does whatever the hell he wanted
This is why I have TH-cam , who would have thought I would have been learning about the intricate details in irinas character in The Sopranos correlating with the brutal War Lord Ghengis Khan. Wicked!
Because Junior had a an affair with Carmella and AJ is Juniors son, we now know why he bought him a surfboard for his birthday. Mystery solved. "Watts dis, ?? Mudda Mary??"
7:05 to be fair, that same argument can be made about Paulie Walnuts. He showed time and time again that he is not leadership material, as he doesn't know how to earn through "legitimate ways" (I use that phrase very loosely) like Ralph or Vito, who have been in the Mafia far less than him yet clearly outshine him. The fact that his argument for his status or relevancy in the family is that he has seniority over most people shows that he does not evolve. Paulie was better suited as a soldier or an enforcer like he was in season 1. Bobby was at least the right candidate captain for Junior crew as believed by Junior and Tony himself, whereas Paulie was made Tony's successor of the Soprano crew due to his close friendship with Tony.
Hello, this is a great series evaluation thing, I just discovered it about a week ago and I'm hooked, I'm gonna watch all of them eventually. I love Sopranos, I've got the box set and watch different episodes literally everyday. My top 3 are 'Walk like a man' 'Where's Johnny' 'Blue Comet' anyway I was just about to go to the gym and this popped up so I had to comment after watching the video. I also like Robert Greene, I haven't read 48.... yet but I have read 'The 50th Law' his collaboration with 50 Cent and that is a good book, highly recommended. I like your analysis but I disagree with what you say about Bobby and without wanting to write an essay I'll try and get all my points across. He was calm, he didn't need to do violence just for the sake of it like most of them but he was dependable and when he was told to, he followed orders and delivered like in Soprano Home Movies, after he whopped Tony remember, not allowing even the boss to disrespect in his own house. He beat that guy after the incident in 'The Ride' who put his family at risk, and he knew marrying the boss' sister could help him, it wasn't out of love really was it. (Who could really love Janice?) Remember Pine barrens when them two were lost in the woods who did Tony call? Because he knew Baccala knows what he's doing, and that scene you showed, when the guy said 'that mortadel's number 3?' the response was 'and you used to sell laser printers out the back of your crown vic' - do you get my point here? Finally the thing with Vito, when they found out he's gay, he had a rational and reasonable response (in their world) 'we can't have him in our social club no more' I've think you've misread Bobby's character big time, watch it again and you may see it differently.
I understand where you’re coming from with Bobby Bacala Jr. but he deserves more credit because he seems the most trustworthy, the most loyal, and he beat Tony’s ass.
All southern Italians hold grudges for a long time. I'm Sicilian, I still remember every jerk who stole my milk and lunch money on the playground. I got lists.
I thought the Frenchie dude trying to scam Artie was dumb and completely unbelievable. Frenchie's cousin or whatever worked there and she could attest to the mobsters frequent business. Then Artie pretty much says this to the Frog in regard to the loan. Did douchebag actually think the mob was gonna let him just slide? Seriously, no one is that dumb. Either that or it was a setup done by Tony to both erase his restaurant tab with Artie and allow him to eat free in perpetuity. If the latter, then brilliant, if the former, just lazy writing.
Sopranos was a well written show. But I think they were all insecure more than any other trait. except Bobby. Richie's insecurity led to him punching Janice and resulted in him being shot. Tony put his hand thru a wall because Carmela thought about another man while he gave her the clap who knows how many times for all of his who-roars.
I was at a music festival. And there was an italian food truck selling Veal parmesan sandwiches.... Can you guess what I was saying to my friends all day?
This is honestly my favorite series on TH-cam. I’ve learned a lot
Frrrr
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching!
Same here. There’s so much sopranos content but this one stands out big time. And like you said it’s nice to feel like I’m actually learning something.
Nah fr i love it bro I even rewatch his videos I love the history lessons mixed wit the laws in the sopranos
@@wades9327 lmao
The matter of fact delivery about Junior being AJ's father was gold
It sent me it was so good.
It was funny, reminds me of the King of the Hill theories about Bobby being Bill's son.
As we say in Ireland Bully, yer some man for 1 man. You are rocking it. Another brilliant episode. "A man's touchy pride makes him dangerous " . Class.
Top of the morning to you! Thanks for watching!
Begod an' begora. ♥

Richie had powers beyond comparison. With his mind, he moved the coffee jar to hit Beansie with.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 don't forget the parmigiano sandwich
That made me LOL. Class

Didn't he nearly drown in 2 inches of water ?😅😅😅😅
@@davidsmyth4184yea.. the penguin exhibit..
That's because his father did not discourage him from dipping his toes into their thing.
we never see jackie sr as a father but to judge from their kids, carmine sr appears to be the most competent at being a father, though not the most caring
It's because he understood a pint of blood is worth more than a gallon of gold
It's always a good day when BullyWhispers drops a video!!
Keep em coming cuz ill keep watching, great series.

That would a good episode
Bully, don't leave me alone and desperate waiting for you to pop another piece on here ever again or else?!
☘️👍
Ill try not to lol, thanks for watching!
Good stuff - well thought out, entertaining, informative. Well done!
Nice one! Law 20 should be an interesting one considering the tight rope Tony always walked with the New York family.
My favorite part of these are the badass historical examples and how they all interestingly happen almost identically in the Sopranos
The Interior Decorator.
Love this series! I’d be interested in character parallels videos

I want longer episodes this was a good one.
This is why I have TH-cam , who would have thought I would have been learning about the intricate details in irinas character in The Sopranos correlating with the brutal War Lord Ghengis Khan. Wicked!

"Watts dis, ?? Mudda Mary??"
Great Video!!! Irena and Genghis Khan!!! I would have never made that comparison LOL!!!!
Great video, you should do a piece on Livia and Junior.
Junior actually being AJ 's dad is wild 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yet so true
I love your channel bro. Always makes my fucking day
LMAO. Bobby, Paulie, Tony, and Junior are fan favorites too. This explains A LOT about humanity LOLOLOLOLOLOL.
Another great video. I’d buy this if it was a book.

Bully Whispers: People like Tony need people to forget and move on.
Phil: I don't forget.
The Russian!
We could do dis ourselves, Ninja style....... a word ta da wise, rememba Pearl Hawbaa.

Some emperors have dressed as beggers, you absolutely never know who you're talking too
you sure picked the best irina screenshot
Yes i would like to watch the similarities between those two old friends
Furio collecting from Jean Phillipe for Tony by himself is still bad ass
It makes sense. He even is named after his father. Anthony JUNIOR
So true about Junior's insecurities...goin all the way back to chrissy's dad lol.
another classic.👌
I understand where you’re coming from with Bobby Bacala Jr. but he deserves more credit because he seems the most trustworthy, the most loyal, and he beat Tony’s ass.
I don’t know who needs to hear it but the kid bully! He deserves to be made a captain for these videos
When you mention shaped heads around 10:00 min in. What is that? A form of torture? How do you shape someone's head??
I just realized you said shaved heads. oops!
Thank you for you work! I am curious how many times the author watched the series?
More than I can count. Thanks for watching!
They threw Jesus out of a helicopter, but you could tell it was a dummy...!

Bobby was insecure about his weight though

I'm surprised the sepent wasn't Patsy.
Paulie would say he would like put his serpent in Irina.
Rose....!!!..... more Sanka
junior had an affair with Carmela and is ajs father??? WTF 😳
Livia compares giving birth to "making her bones."🧐
Irena vs. Gengis 😂
When did Irina call the house?! 🤔
the episode Whitecaps if I remember correctly. Thanks for watching!
Poor Bobby......
I knew aj was juniors son Tony never had the makings of a varsity athlete
Chromosomes, runs in the family.
yo time out you not about to just casually say uncle june is ajs father.. you gotta explain that wtf you think this is?
