I love when Maui sings it at the end and Nick despite trying his hardest pisses himself at the expense of his cousin. Just like any other guy in the world!
What I find real interesting about this scene is: Maui came up with this prank, himself. He was resourceful enough to find a legal template for child support, and smart enough to put his telephone number on the paper. I see Maul as a big brute, heavy on muscles, light on brains. But this scene shows he has intelligence too. The funniest part- to me- is when all the guys at the table sing aloud in unison once the joke has been revealed. Awesome, just awesome!!
Not only was he not dumb, I'd say he was kinda nerdy. He just happens to big and was able to back up his tough talk. Still, lucky for him he was nowhere around when Ziggy went postal.
This season really is amazing. After going through the whole season looking at the instances as comedy, then seeing the demise of Ziggy in the end, it turns into tragedy. This season is brilliant
Don't worry, Ziggy's on a redemption quest, embarking on one of the galaxy's most dangerous planet to save his family, all while mastering something akin to the Force from Star Wars
What an amazing show. This is my favorite scene of my favorite season. It captures the life of the stevedores and romantises it, makes you feel for all these characters. How tragic the ending of the season was.
@@JimmySteller I don't know if Maui was a bully, Ziggy was shown to start repeatedly playing tricks on him. Maui just kept turning the tables on Ziggy.
ziggy constanly put dick pics on this guys computer and jeopardized everyones union jobs by being a theif not to mention he was an all around jerkoff. this was just the guys giving him a taste of his own medicine. ziggys whole character ark was if he could stop being a whiney baby hed have life by the balls, but he couldnt so his life was much harder than it needed to be
Must have watched the whole show about 6 times and I swear it gets better every time I watch it. This scene is quality, was sad how things ended for zig and Nicky, both quality characters.
This is such an awesome scene, so real. I love how "Love Child" by The Supremes is playing throughout, but you do not realize it until the joke is revealed. The song, of course, was the important part of the joke with Ziggy being falsely accused of having a love child.
@@projectdan3369 a shyster is someone playing a joke on someome... and the letter was said to be from a law firm, and a name of a firm is usually names of the partners.... like in fresh prince uncle.phil works for "firth, wynn, amd meyer".... so shyster shyster shyster is just the name of the fake law firm from the joke.... u get it now?
The writing is so clever that you can compare it with the works of Dostoevsky and Dickens. The characters are more than real, you understand tham better than you understand your family and friends. The whole plot is written with extra care, every single thread matters.
This reminds me of when Michael and Namond were figuring out how Nay got ripped off. In fact, Nick and Ziggy have similiar traits with Mike and Nay; respectively. Nick/Mike seem like they're more street wise, capable of deducing scenarios, and kept their cool under pressure. Zig and Nay are usually shown as flashy with money, inept with their trade, and prone to make rash decisions.
never noticed this. Weebay and Frank were both much harder than their respective sons and tried to protect them from the dangers of their respective professions... Ironically Weebay was more successful despite being locked up
Lol didn't even know they revealed the joke, I had to look this scene up because I just played the song whilst cooking, and re-hearing it now was not only surprising, but hilarious when I figured out why it's played on repeat.
It's no wonder this pissed Zig off so much. "Love Child"? Frank isn't his real father, as we learn the last time we see him before he disappears into the system, and that probably played a huge part in Frank neglecting him.
Watched this show three times before I realized that Prissy Carlow is the girl that Nick gets drunk with (and wakes up with) after Ziggy is arrested. That’s attention to detail!
Slaver if you thought it was boring your favorite shows/movies are most likely Walking Dead, SoA, Fast and Furious and Transformers. You can't really judge a show by skimmimg through scenes and you have no idea whats going on. Maybe you thought it was too talky and not enough explosions and high speed shoot outs.
Slaver dude those are my favorite shows plus OZ. The Sobotka family were a great story about the decay of working class families. Stringer going behind Avons back, killing Dangelo and hooking up with Prop Joe. Sergei and Mouzone were bas ass character. The Greeks Spiros especially were great character's. McNulty, Bubbles and Omar have great character development in this season. Ziggy was funny imo his ending was sad though. And the whole detail was because Valchek was pissed Frank bought a church an expensive window. It was good season you should go watch it again you little fucking twerp.
I think Season 2 is the saddest of the whole show. If just because it started with what seemed like honest hardworking men in the docks of Baltimore and ended with the corruption and crime some members were responsible for fucking over almost everybody.
Dave simon is very left wing, neo liberalism has killed manufactoring and the wages of working people have gone down while the rich have got richer, you know in the 50's when only men needed to work taxes for the rich were 90% then.
One of the most dangerous times in a young man’s life is his search for identity. We all struggle with failure and rejection, but dudes coming up short of mastering a poorly-fitting arena will sometimes make desperate leaps to find it in others. Addiction, bad relationships, crime, associating with scumbags, doomed marriages, religions, even network-marketing - all the result of seeking something that will make you hope will make you complete and square the tables with those around you. I lost a lot of friends during this phase, and almost lost myself too. I feel ziggys struggle.
you can still go outside and have the cheeky one, for me it triggers my asthma instantly and gives me a mild headache but i can see the allure of smoking where your drinking =)
funny scene but kind of sad to watch as well after seeing watch hapens later on in the series when this scene and others like this push ziggy to doing what he did
Ziggy saying "the packages were my thing" when he used to get laughed off the corner, ripped off and got his ass beat by Cheese, he'd be dead without Nick. The packages were not his thing 🤣
The right move would have been for Ziggy to go up to the table, call Maui a mother f’er and then shake his hand say you got me, buy the table a round and make a toast saying the round is cheaper than child support and laugh it off.
I think nick and Maui characters are a great representation of the type of guys u would expect to find in a industry like that ... thats what makes this programme so great the characters are amazing . From the steets to the docks, anyone that is weak gets chewed up . Ziggy does not belong in the docks ; he should have went to college and got a job that suits him.
If zig would have sat back and thought for a moment he would have realized that he had back and he didn't have to try to be the man and just notice that he was without even working hard
My buddy had warned me about a super annoying character in season 2. I am glad to say Ziggy didn't annoy me that much, since he got made a fool of so frequently and beat up lmao
The moment Nick realizes how good that prank was and why they choose to put that song on, it's just pure gold.
One of my favorite scenes.
Brilliant
I love how Nick is all pissed for about a second before he realizes it's too funny to be angry.
i agree
More embarrassed on zigs behalf than pissed i'd say 😂
Well no it's clearly him out of character
@@ThePackFactory naw, it's a joke in a bar among work mates. He appreciates they got him good and has a laugh. 😂
@@ThePackFactory Nope, that's good acting.
I love how theyre putting that song on repeat and ziggys not noticing lol
lol, i never realized that.
I can’t even hear the song
@@wavyant_1323 im with you, I don't hear the lyrics.
its called Love Child by Diana Ross
This scene is 🤣🤣
This prank was actually the best thing that happened to Zig the whole series.
BAD ADVICE
YOU MOTHERFUCKERS GAVE ME BAD ADVICE
I love when Maui sings it at the end and Nick despite trying his hardest pisses himself at the expense of his cousin. Just like any other guy in the world!
How could you not laugh?
It was a pretty clever prank lol
He’s relieved Ziggy doesn’t have a real love child
One thing, Nick loved his cousin Zig and looked out for his best interests at heart.
What I find real interesting about this scene is: Maui came up with this prank, himself. He was resourceful enough to find a legal template for child support, and smart enough to put his telephone number on the paper. I see Maul as a big brute, heavy on muscles, light on brains. But this scene shows he has intelligence too.
The funniest part- to me- is when all the guys at the table sing aloud in unison once the joke has been revealed. Awesome, just awesome!!
And yet, he wasn't intelligent enough to get Ziggy's penis off his computer background, heh.
Not only was he not dumb, I'd say he was kinda nerdy. He just happens to big and was able to back up his tough talk.
Still, lucky for him he was nowhere around when Ziggy went postal.
This season really is amazing. After going through the whole season looking at the instances as comedy, then seeing the demise of Ziggy in the end, it turns into tragedy. This season is brilliant
You're laughing, Ziggy's life is turning into a tragedy and you're laughing
@@Neo2266. he’s fine. He ended up invading iraq.
What demise , Ziggy doesn't die
Don't worry, Ziggy's on a redemption quest, embarking on one of the galaxy's most dangerous planet to save his family, all while mastering something akin to the Force from Star Wars
"Schyster, Schyster, and Schyster!"
LMAO. Scene is pretty sad and hilarious at the same time
shiester
@@gcash8892
'Shyster'
What an amazing show. This is my favorite scene of my favorite season. It captures the life of the stevedores and romantises it, makes you feel for all these characters. How tragic the ending of the season was.
Even more tragic is in I think season 4 you briefly see Johnny 50 is homeless living under a bridge after the union went under.
Nicky cracking up at the end is the funniest part to me
I think if Ziggy had sort of laughed it off at this point, he probably wouldn't have had any more problems from Maui.
Doubtful. Maui was a bully, and he knew he had an easy target. No matter how Ziggy carried it, Maui would be on him.
@@JimmySteller I don't know if Maui was a bully, Ziggy was shown to start repeatedly playing tricks on him. Maui just kept turning the tables on Ziggy.
Maul needed a bullet. Simple.
ziggy constanly put dick pics on this guys computer and jeopardized everyones union jobs by being a theif not to mention he was an all around jerkoff. this was just the guys giving him a taste of his own medicine. ziggys whole character ark was if he could stop being a whiney baby hed have life by the balls, but he couldnt so his life was much harder than it needed to be
Yea, that was Ziggys biggest problem, he lacked self awareness. He didn’t know who he was and was trying to be things he wasn’t.
Must have watched the whole show about 6 times and I swear it gets better every time I watch it. This scene is quality, was sad how things ended for zig and Nicky, both quality characters.
idk why but I loved this character so much.. I enjoyed his every part
I would’ve died laughing if that happened to me😂😂
Who got me ?
This has to be the funniest part of this whole season hands down!! 😂😂
This is such an awesome scene, so real. I love how "Love Child" by The Supremes is playing throughout, but you do not realize it until the joke is revealed. The song, of course, was the important part of the joke with Ziggy being falsely accused of having a love child.
That's because Maui put it on the Juke at the beginning.
Palm Trees and Rum obviously
He’d probably been playing it all night, waiting for Zig to figure it out or to antagonize him.
th-cam.com/video/XCOqj2BPnus/w-d-xo.html
1:16 -1:20
"As if you are all alone"
If you’re familiar with the song you can kinda notice like “Wait is that the opening again?” but the reveal is incredible
He was more pissed that Maui one-upped him than when he got served with the "paternity suit"
I always loved how hammered Ziggy is, his “what? Ain’t no fuckin’ law firm open in the middle of the goddam night” is perfect.
respect your answer! season 2 is the most important season. Everything that came through that port affected Baltimore.
genius writers
Shyster, Shyster & Shyster!
I lost my shit when I first heard him say that! Too goddamn funny
I don’t get it? But it sounds funny
@@projectdan3369 a shyster is someone playing a joke on someome... and the letter was said to be from a law firm, and a name of a firm is usually names of the partners.... like in fresh prince uncle.phil works for "firth, wynn, amd meyer".... so shyster shyster shyster is just the name of the fake law firm from the joke.... u get it now?
K
Remember car talk, the radio show? They always listed their law firm as “Dewey, Cheatum and Howe.” 🤣🤣
Maui had the makings of a varsity athlete
While Ziggy had the makings of a love child.
The docks, whatever happened there
That was hilarious I have to admit. If I were Nick I'd be laughing too
Them singing in Unison loud enough so Ziggy can hear and Nick smirking had me lmaooo
Anyone else notice Nick has the DeNiro face from Goodfellas right at the 3:17 mark?
Yeah it reminds me of that one scene from The Goodfellas lol
Lol
"Nick didnt wanna get those guys back with a prank. He'd rather wack em."
Nice spot, all he needs is sunshine of your love, Maui gets whacked instead of Mauri
SUre did
I'll never forget this scene it was funny as fuck
Ziggy reminds me of Fredo from The Godfather.
Fredo banged more cocktail waitresses. Two at the same time even.
Nice. I'm guessing Maui is Moe Green
Maui reminds me of Maui from ‘Moana.’ Cuz how many fools have that name anyway?
I'm smart, not like everybody says, I'm not dumb, I'm smart and I want respect.
The writing is so clever that you can compare it with the works of Dostoevsky and Dickens. The characters are more than real, you understand tham better than you understand your family and friends. The whole plot is written with extra care, every single thread matters.
Shut up nerd
the Dickensian aspect, so to speak? :-D
@@heresyisprogress The dickeaten aspect haha
Season 2 was underrated as fuck.

Man came down to tell Wee-Bey his boy could be anything he damn please.
Should have sent Maui a cappuccino to show no hard feelings
+AZDuffman well played
frappucino*
Word! LOL
*Crappicino*
The funniest scene on the wire. I loved how the stevedores always messed with zig
Lol didn't even know they revealed the joke, I had to look this scene up because I just played the song whilst cooking, and re-hearing it now was not only surprising, but hilarious when I figured out why it's played on repeat.
Ziggy should have just laughed this off.
Just watched this scene for the first time two days ago. That’s how long I’ve had “Love Child” on repeat haha
He gives a bad name to all of us Ziggys in the world.
Nah that Ziggy is a cool guy. You probably a lame in real life
LOVE CHILD, WASN'T MEANT TO BE.
This was one of my fav season 2 scenes.
They really should have made Maui a bigger character. The guy was a riot.
We was a rat too.
He was a simp lmao
LOL this was some funny shit! LMFAO
It's no wonder this pissed Zig off so much. "Love Child"? Frank isn't his real father, as we learn the last time we see him before he disappears into the system, and that probably played a huge part in Frank neglecting him.
Watched this show three times before I realized that Prissy Carlow is the girl that Nick gets drunk with (and wakes up with) after Ziggy is arrested. That’s attention to detail!
I felt sorry for Ziggy the whole time, that season was hard to watch
Ziggy was the poster child for stupidity!
Ziggy's problems were all of his own making. He was impulsive, stupid, and reckless.
My favorite is when Ziggy gets punched around by Cheese Wagstaff! "2 thou for that piece of shit?"
That was the best scene from Season 2
I miss back in the day when you could smoke in bars
Yes. Me. Too. 😊
There’s still bars that allow it on the downlow
We don’t have that problem in Las Vegas. Not even in the suburbs
Now you can't drink out of straw well in California that is
Rock No, you can use a straw but it has to be paper straw
great scene
SEASON 2 AKA BEST SEASON OF ALL TV SERIES
It really was though. I get pissed when people say this season wasn't good.
Really? I skimmed it because it was really boring. If you can provide me with objective reasons, I'll rewatch it.
Slaver if you thought it was boring your favorite shows/movies are most likely Walking Dead, SoA, Fast and Furious and Transformers.

Alright fine I'll fucking watch it again, god damn it. But only because you convinced me
2:25 Maui's look 🤣🤣🤣
what is the name of that song in the background
I think Season 2 is the saddest of the whole show. If just because it started with what seemed like honest hardworking men in the docks of Baltimore and ended with the corruption and crime some members were responsible for fucking over almost everybody.

@Mr. Man That's a funny way of saying "I hate women, but still want to get laid so I can't really say that"
Not to mention the workers being on their ass drinking on the corner out of work
Never listened to Diana Ross the same way again.

Ziggy could play a jeff buckley
I got to do this to someone one day!
Do it to that guy who got to your crush first.
The right move would have been for Ziggy to go up to the table, call Maui a mother f’er and then shake his hand say you got me, buy the table a round and make a toast saying the round is cheaper than child support and laugh it off.
Ziggy wanted a reputation
If he was about that life he would've but he was faking
Bobby C also had a love child in Saturday Night Fever.
Ziggy the original Jesse
This scene was a total ROFLcopter for me wahahahahahaha!!
This was so fucking funny!
Ziggy is the Bobby C of the Wire and Nick Sabotka is the Tony Manero of the Wire.
Most guys wouldn’t know whether to be pissed or relieved.
Best law firm in the state I understand. Shiyster shiysta and shiysta.
Maui really has no rhythm lol
I think nick and Maui characters are a great representation of the type of guys u would expect to find in a industry like that ... thats what makes this programme so great the characters are amazing .

@timhorgs love child by the Supreme's
I don't even smoke and I agree with you. It just makes the bar feel more manly.
2:50 ... SHOULDA been jumpin for joy!
@moroccanblack - loce child by The Supremes
@0:50 OR IM FUCKING WASTED OR NICKY SEEMS TO HAVE A BIG NOSE
what is so special about this seria that every smat guy appreciate it so much ?
What's the song????
Love Child by the Supremes.
Nick was so smart, poor bastards all of 'em
this scene to me shows nick would have been at the table with those other guys but was always a little on the outs because of zigg
non smokers.....not everyone smokes
I honestly didnt get this scene.....someone explain
Why does everyone shit on season 2?
It sucks you can't smoke in bars anymore.
A rare realistic moment showing the dread and horror of a single guy being told he's a father! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeh , thats alright that one. Fucking Ziggy.
If they did this on the west side.... He would have skipped town that night.
Can we get an explanation of the scene in relation to the song?
And Maui was the one that gave them all up for a pat on the hand from Beadie Russell - smh
Ziggy invented stupidity!
Malaka
Nick should have told Prissy this funny story instead of the College Kids Ain't Shit one.
not for non smokers
😂😂😂😂😂poor Ziggy. He took life too seriously. Should've gone to college
I wish Nick had kicked Maui’s ass...
My buddy had warned me about a super annoying character in season 2. I am glad to say Ziggy didn't annoy me that much, since he got made a fool of so frequently and beat up lmao
