norman was hard as nails, the guy love hardball. he told rawls 'we mind you asking ' when rawls asked whether they(carcetti/norman) minded him asking why they were retaining burrell for the short term
The best parts of The Wire is Tommy Carcetti and how he interacts with the other characters he's involved with. His wife, Norman, Theresa D'Agostino etc. You can always see the wheels turning in all aspects of his life. He is part time family man, part time ladies man and ruthless ambitious politician. Aidan Gillen plays him brilliantly.
Little Miss Black Dress Yeah and for those of us from Maryland, it’s clear that Carcetti is based on Martin O’Malley, the former White Mayor of Baltimore who later became Governor, much like Carcetti does
Always loved that this "con" wasn't really a con, per se; it was Clay doing a little work and making three different political entities think Clay did them a favor.
@@be4unvme Reg Cathey(Campaign Mgr. Norman). Seems almost like about half the cast of The Wire are dead, shit is too real. At least they passed away as modern day legends, to those who really appreciate the show, anyway.
Good eye! Would've been ironic for the department who ran an illegal wire in one of the seasons, if a crime boss like Prop Joe had installed a wiretap in a mantle clock like that.
I watched this series when it aired and was amazed when I first saw the actors that played Carcetti and McNulty interviewed in real life and found out that their real accents were Irish & Cockney. I didn't have a clue that they weren't from the US.
One of the reasons the wire is the best is that even small parts like Carcetti's chief of sraff are played by great actors who steal scenes like this one
Lookin back Clay Davis might be top five characters of the show especially when you truly realize how slimy he was , to dam near everybody, even tried to charge his lawyer for taking his case, what kind of person can even think like that
as a Frontline soldier Ill say this, politicians bureaucrats and law makers- all administrators, I hate em. They never get their hands dirty but always wanna write rules on hiw to do things...
You ever worked in Local Goverment and been around Local City Commisioners/Mayors, especially those that have higher political aspirations, you can definitely relate to a character like Carcetti
Really? I thought the whole newspaper angle was boring and forced onto the show because David wanted "his" side as a part of it. All S5 of this was more or less about a journalist being a phony wow
Would luv to know how many takes it took to film the scene where the dude mocks Clay's famous "shiiit". I could tell the white actor wanted to crack up. lol.

Norman's imitation of Clay Davis "s**t" is one of the most underrated funny parts of the wire imo 😂
Clay Davis was born with his hand in someone else's pocket.
Related to prop joe 😂😂
Prop Joe with wealthier, more stable parents, a better education and better contacts...
That last “sheeeeeet” rearranged the wax in my ear it was so full of bass😂😂
"You going to give the Money back?"
"Sheeeeeeiiiiiiitttt!!!!"
Jay Reffner I Loved That Line
Jay Reffner how's the meatrocket?
Typical democrats got they hands out taking and not delivering
Rock shiiiiiit!!!!
norman was hard as nails, the guy love hardball. he told rawls 'we mind you asking ' when rawls asked whether they(carcetti/norman) minded him asking why they were retaining burrell for the short term
Carcetti's chief of staff is understated yet entertaining in every scene he's in.
One of the best characters in the show. If only Carcetti listened to him more often
He was supposed to be play Bunk at first. Can you imagine that? Would've been just as great as Wendell Pierce
Technically, the younger white guy, Michael is Carcetti's Chief of Staff. Norm is Carcetti's advisor.
Igen. Jól nézne ki
He's dead.
Davis is so good, I didn't even realized he didn't agree to give back the money until AFTER the video was over.
Norman was not seriously asking, him and Carcrtti both knew that wasn't happening
Davis is so good, I was about to donate towards his campaign
He didn’t even speak on it. That was a rhetorical question to get to the point
@@305unleashedgraphix3
David is so good I donated to his campaign and didn't realize 'til just now.
@@ComputerJunkie00 He already gave it all away on his way from downtown.
That laugh after they ask you gonna give the money back takes me out each time 😂😂
No Refunds when you do business with Clay Davis🌹🌹🥂
It's All in the Game💎🔥🔥

for you
@@MarcillaSmith why do you disagree? I'm not american, so I'm genuinely curious
It doesn't matter why I disagree, what matters is our plan: baneposting this thread... WITH NO SURVIVORS!
@@MarcillaSmith shiiiiiet you're pretty sneaky then
Davis is worse than a con man, he's a politician.
A politician is a con man backed by police.
A con man is a criminal chased by police.
shiittttt no wonder things are screwed.
What's the difference between a con man & politician? Nothing.
@@irocwell32 the difference is one is allow to steal your money legally
Facts
So is Carcetti
RIP Reg E. Cathey :(
I got to meet him a year before he passed he was mad cool just chillen on the A train going to uptown
Dang. Didn't know he died. One of my favorite "HBO" Actors
@@Kingbossdon I got to meet him long before that, when he was Querns on Oz. Like you waiting on the Subway platform @ 42nd St. A line.
@@OLDSKOOLNYC1 I guess he must have spent alot of time there and he was mad cool like no one didn't know it was him
How slick is Clay Davis?
Sheeeeeeeit
Slick as snot on a doorknob
Norman is such an Underrated Character on this show. Subtle yet very entertaining
RIP to the Actor who played him
Just when I thought no one is going to out deep-voice Clay Davis... Norman Wilson steps up the plate.
Clay never got caught. Neither did the ranking "Greeks". Higher ups don't get time. If by chsnce they do, they living club fed.
Clay did get caught
Rich people dont go to prison they just take cool off
Yup, and Bond fucked it up by not using the mortgage fraud which would have made the case federal. He wanted the skin and got skinned himself.
Unless they commit the cardinal sin of ripping off other rich people like Bernie Madoff
Clay did get caught but he played the race card on Baltimore but he knew 100 percent that if the case was on Annapolis he would be sentenced.
Levy said that man was born with his hands in someone’s pocket🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤣🤣🤣
String was stupid for not consulting Levy on that deal.
"That Gonif was born with his hand in someone's pocket".
The way Levy said it so smugly was priceless 😂
2:10 THAT look is exactly why they made him Petyr Bealish. The very slightest of smiles.
“Shansha.”
Smirking is a ladder
Man clay Davis could talk a Muslim into eating pork
LOL! Good one! And true, too!
Try this, it's some good sheeeeeit !
sheeeeeeeeeiiiiit
GedaCrew try a little harder guy
You make that same comment in every Clay Davis clip on TH-cam.
Always loved that this "con" wasn't really a con, per se; it was Clay doing a little work and making three different political entities think Clay did them a favor.
Making someone think something that isn't really true certainly sounds like a con to me, partner.
It was a "con", my friend
That's literally what the con was.
"You going to give the money back?" You got to love Norm.
😂 Even getting straight to the point with Clay Davis isn't good enough to catch him.... I like when Norman tried it tho....lol
He's like the bad cop to Carcetti's good cop
The guy who plays clay actually auditioned for the role of Lester Freamon.
No it was the guy who played Carcetti's Chief of Staff who did
@@mastod0n1 Both of them auditioned for Lester.
@@MrRiddleAW That took an unexpected turn.
@@Arcaryon iirc, the actor who played lester auditioned for bubbles
You ain't even worth the skin off my knuckles, sheeeeeeeit
Just watched this scene last week. Got me in stitches!
Left us way to soon. RIP
who died?
@@be4unvme Reg Cathey(Campaign Mgr. Norman). Seems almost like about half the cast of The Wire are dead, shit is too real. At least they passed away as modern day legends, to those who really appreciate the show, anyway.
Damn, Reg E. Cathey (Norman).....left us too soon.... :-(
Sure did I got to meet him such a great actor and such a humble man
He was great on Oz too
@@Duzz14 The Corner, too
Loved him in Square One as a kid
That man know he slick. Damn
2:07 Omar's clock in the background
LOL! How she tickin, Joe?
Good eye! Would've been ironic for the department who ran an illegal wire in one of the seasons, if a crime boss like Prop Joe had installed a wiretap in a mantle clock like that.
I needa quit watching clips, and just watch the damn show, already. Soon as I get some binge time, I'm fuckin watching this.
Well ???
He's in the wind
Clay Davis reminds me of Cleveland Brown
TH-cam: You wanna watch another Wire video?
Me: Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-et
Little finger learned from the best.
Norman my top 3 character on the wire 😂😂😂😂
He's the best lol
2:09 I feel like that laugh was natural and Aidan Gillen just didn't break character
I watched this series when it aired and was amazed when I first saw the actors that played Carcetti and McNulty interviewed in real life and found out that their real accents were Irish & Cockney. I didn't have a clue that they weren't from the US.
Adam Gordon String too.
@@roderickstockdale1678 Yes, definitely.
Dominic West's accent isn't Cockney. It's middle-class English.
Also Stringer Bell
Petyr Bealish learned from the best
you stole word out of my mouth !!!!
I told my husband Clay is the littlefinger of The Wire.
I'll take anybody's dragons if they're just giving them away!
he didnt learn enough. Clay escaped The detail, Striger Bell, Lester Freamon, Burell.... he survived them all. Baelish got killed
@@chicken2jail545 lmaooo
2:09 Littlefinger looks like he can’t wait to get back to Westeros from downtown Essos.
“Downtown Clay Davis???!?!?”
Any clip with Clay Davis is gold 😂
Norman's personality is just way too charismatic
isnt that dirty dee from pootie tang?
yup, and bodie was frogie
XD
DAMN RIGHT
This is when Littlefinger knew he had to start a war to move up in the world.
One of the reasons the wire is the best is that even small parts like Carcetti's chief of sraff are played by great actors who steal scenes like this one
That guys got one of those deep lawnmower voices
sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiittt
“I am a sinner who does not expect forgiveness, but I am not a government official!” - Francis Wolcott
This was a great show.
RIP Reg
I just realized that Clay Davis and Weebey share an oddly similar cadence when they want to slick :D
Issa Classic
its Freddy from Freddy's BBQ!
No it's Norman fucking Wilson
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttt
Clay Davis was Littlefinger's inspiration
Is there anything worse than a corrupt politician?
A corrupt Politician who is not even afraid of stealing a quarter MIL from Drug Dealers ... that is some serious Balls..
Yes, a racist President.
Two.
A smart corrupt politician.
"you mean down town clive davis?" ,Slim Charles
Clay Davis was always setting up a deal..lolol.😂😂slick as an oiled nickel.
That’s how Clay does.
Norman is so smooth
Best acting of all time is Carcetti not laughing at the end.
I've just realised they had like 3 British actors in this show.
Anonymouse - the guy who plays Carcetti - Aiden Gillen - is Irish
Sheeeeeeit
That nasty cop nulty he wasn’t acting he was just being himself: did his wife the same way he did those women characters:
Clay David rain making everybody
Norm would have been a heck of a mayor if he had a desire to be one. Wasn’t his thing, but he would have made a good one.
Why does this scene remind me of the meeting between Avon & Marlo?
Senator was to smooth with his compromises
Who are the ministers? Just black religious leaders in bmore?
Yes.
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit
i swear clay, man
The dialogue in this series is A1
It really is
0:33 Easily the evilest, most corrupt man in The Wire
Nah, that would be Levy.
CLAYTON DAVIS is the biggest criminal on the show
Downtown Clay Davis ?!
What about The Greek?
Carcetti should have stuck with Norman - made him Chief of Staff. They were a good team.
Don’t FUCK with Querns
Clay Davis is slick as snot on a doorknob!
The black community is littered (pun intended) with people like Clay Davis and "the ministers".
Clay Davis is to Larry Young as Tommy Carcetti is to Martin O'Malley.
If Marlo and Barksdale were kings of the jungle, clay davis is the fucking emperor
Sheeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiit
This scene reminds me of the Omar/Butchie meeting Prop Joe scene where Joe is telling them about the high roller cash game to rob.
If scholars asked me i forget the long term goals half the time...resolutions on 1/1 will already fail
Littlefinger had it easy compared to Carcetti.
Lookin back Clay Davis might be top five characters of the show especially when you truly realize how slimy he was , to dam near everybody, even tried to charge his lawyer for taking his case, what kind of person can even think like that
2:09 What's Omar's clock doing on the mantlepiece?
as a Frontline soldier Ill say this, politicians bureaucrats and law makers- all administrators, I hate em. They never get their hands dirty but always wanna write rules on hiw to do things...
I wanna see him debating.
A young Littlefinger‼️ ⚔️
Clay Davis is so bad, he’s fun to watch...lol
Shhhiiiiieeeeeehhhhhiiiiihhhhhhhhheeeeeeiiiiiiitttt!
The game the same. Just got more classy.
There should have been a spin-off show about Clay Davis.. Sheiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
Littlefinger always sneaky as fuck.
Long range game
Chaos is a laddah
Short con gets you hundreds maybe a few thousand. Long con gets you hundreds of thousands.....i'm jus sayin
The whole Carcetti storyline is my least favorite of the whole series but this is a great scene.
For me he is the best thing of the whole series. You've got poor taste.
@@littlemissblackdress7587 Helll Yeah! You tell em LMBD!
@@littlemissblackdress7587 Ditto.

Would luv to know how many takes it took to film the scene where the dude mocks Clay's famous "shiiit". I could tell the white actor wanted to crack up. lol.
man give him hour to give the money back and if the deadline passes I would go as planned
Why do ministers have anything to do with politics
Supposedly leaders of their communities and, as such, supposed to have the ears of the politicians regarding issues within their communities .
If a black minister tells his flock not to vote for this guy, thats a couple thousand votes.
SHIEEEEEEEETTTT
I cant imagine the guy on the left not dressed as Dirty Dee in Pootie Tang
That was the longest "sheeeeeeeeeit" I've ever heard in my life. What an odd choice to make as an actor. I respect it.
Well, he was making fun of the other guy.
was this before or after clay was indicted?
What I tell you Carcetti about playing them fucking away games?
Carcetti +Davis = Littlefinger.
