Exploring Tony's Weirdest Line in The Sopranos

- The Sopranos follows New Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano as he attempts to juggle his family life and crime life, trying to keep both functioning properly and keeping dysentery in the ranks to a minimum. Tony is surrounded by volatile characters such as his uncle Junior, who at one point tries to kill Tony to gain and maintain control of the Soprano family. There’s also his depressed and selfish son Anthony Jr, who doesn’t have the makings of a varsity killer so he opts to try and kill himself, and fails.
Today I wanted to take a look at one of Tony Sopranos' weirdest lines in HBO's show.

You want compromise, how's this? Twenty years in da can I wanted to watch Borko but I compromised. I watched Cineranter instead.
How's your kid brother Phil..
@@opusepynomus9995 whatever happened there?
Let’s get that radiator grilled cheese recipe
You know that bully whispers is a bright kid. Irascible as he is, there was a time I’d have been proud to have him for my own son
Hey Phil news flash no one cares and that’s why your ass got capped at a gas station in New Jersey near a barnes and nobles you mulignan all that shit you talked to Tony you fugazi came straight back to you and your wife put the car in park so your face got disfigured after the car ran your cannoli face over.Once you were history your face looked unrecognisable Phil and your wife married another Italian guy who had a bigger cannoli than you lol rest in piss you bastard.
“even a one legged woman at one point”
ayo that one legged woman was one of the finest on the show 😭
Kind of weird for him to think it odd to sleep with a one legged woman. I mean who cares? I'm sure he would still want to have sex on occasion if he lost a limb.
probably the highest quality one he did
Yeah she was fine as hell
Inside and out
I'd give her a poke. Even with the 1 pin gone.
When Christopher was in rehab, Adriana was calling Vito all the time. He was this close.
To blowing a security guard.
😂😂😂
My bother Billy, 47 years old, he was just a fvckin kid.
@@phil-Leotardo.171 you're brother whatever happened there...
@@phil-Leotardo.171 That's young in Mafia circles.
It was medication fur his blood pressure, he's ova that already. He even got a note from his doctor.
I love how you open by giving an extremely short summary of the show as if we don't all know every single line of dialogue off by heart
I was saying that to my phone
I suppose there’s a possibility that someone who has never seen a single episode could stumble upon this video.
@@leamanc then how nice of him to spoil Junior's hit on Tony and AJ's attempted suicide in the description.
@@zachariah7114
Aj didnt attempt suicide, he was fishing for attention in a pool lol
I’m here for the Italian singing show, this it right?
I do think you're overthinking this one. He's a middle aged man in a very stressful marriage. She is a beautiful younger woman who pays him some positive attention. Carmella is critical of every aspect of Tony's life and behavior while Adrianna looks at him with awe. So he got infatuated and fantasized about running away with her. He never consciously acknowledged his children because if he did, it would have instantly ruined the daydream. And a daydream is all it was. He just had a crush.
i don’t think there can be such a thing or at least the threshold for “overthinking” is so high given the Sopranos is a show that causes you to think at times, especially when Tony is introduced to new information regarding his own deeper issues. i think the vid was pretty good but again, that’s probably just me cause i like thinking more about what’s been given with a show like The Sopranos.
Kinda like Don Draper with Megan in Mad Men
I would agree with you accept forvlook at president Trump. Always switching his car in for a newer model. And a 1,000 other examples.
Here I was. Thinking it was all just bad writing. Good point.
@@knowsmebyname must be nice.
"Keeping dysentery in the ranks to a minimum." It's a real shitstorm.
When he accuses Melfi of secretly thinking he's lying about having gay sex in the can; that was oddly defensive
😂
You get a pass for that
Tony said the same thing about Charmaine. This like from him didn’t strike me as weird at all. It’s actually right on par with Tony constantly projecting that his current situation is a reflection of his romantic choices rather than an emotional and moral deficit. I think this also demonstrates his view of Christopher as a man in Tony’s eyes. There is a fundamental lack of respect for both Chris and (for much more valid reasons) Ralph. He can take both of their women with little internal conflict.
You mentioned Charmaine and Ralph...but what about Artie? I don't think anybody respects Aertie
The difference is the Charm was a grown woman he slept with ba k in high school. Adrianna is someone with daddy issues and who Tony has a father/uncle relationship, she is also MUCH younger than Charm or Carmela. Also she IS related by blood to Carmela. It is technically incest within the extended family. It is down right creepy by tony, and note that he entertained leaving his fmaily for someone who is like a niece to him.
@@Tiabliaj1989 I think we as the audience are supposed to see Artie as a big impotent, but I’m not sure if Tony sees him that way. I think I’m many ways Tony is a bit envious of the simplicity of Artie’s life. Since Charmaine gave Tony the boot in high school, I think he already knows she’s no Carmela and wouldn’t put up with his shit. Hell, she didn’t even tolerate Artie’s shenanigans.
@@bradhorowitz2765 Tony is also good for a pump fake. I think he’s comfortable expressing to Dr. Melfi his more depraved thoughts as a sort of absolvement. I think Melfi knew he wasn’t actually going to do it 😬
@@shanellb.197 oh yes, he is expressing his mso bad thoughts in therapy,exactly what dr melfi was warned about throughout the series. But DID she really think he wasnt going to go do adrianna? Melfi i think is quite naive and willing to go along with tony's lies;i actually believe that melfi let tony go in the final season not because she realized tony manipulated her as so much that she was humiliated by a peer for having crime boss as a client. recall that she thought tony NOT having sex with adrianna was a good deed-except she should have prodded about the incident more (tony was lying to her, whch melfi should have known-tony has said he cant be 100 percent honest with her due to his "job") and for a man to EVeN have those thoughts is alarming.
As any leader will tell you, it's very important to keep dysentery in the ranks to a minimum.
🤣
@@theodopholous6407 Quite frankly, it's bad for morale.
Dysentery leaves you with a shitty feeling of emptiness.
@@steviemac2681 lmao,
Needed a good laugh today, thank you gents. 😆
I think Tony likes his idea of a woman rather than the actual woman (who they really are).
If he got with Adrianna, he would eventually treat her like he did Carmela.
As does the entire male population of this planet !
"His body's mad ripe" 😆
Tony goes through phases of being infatuated with a woman that usually lasts between 1 to 3 episodes: Dr Melfi (a few times), Gloria, Charmaine, Valentina. Even his episode where he starts having feelings for Irina
I didn't draw the connection - his little what ifs about charmaine are JUST LIKE this ade stuff.He never has to nurse sexual curiousity for long because he just sleeps with whomever. But like most middle aged men he's wondering what if I could have a do-over? Knowing he cant think beyond immediate gratification, I don't see anything serious to worry about as far as tony pursuing another full on relationship unless his marriage really ended.
The random line that I think of from Sopranos “Did you warble my little wren?”
I think Tony was just having a day dream. Just like how we sometimes fantasize about being mobsters and getting free soft drinks of choice, Tony as a mobster sometimes daydreams about making pots in Peru or joining the Green Berets and being some kind of interior decorator.
He killed 16 Czechoslovakians, but it was the sandwiches, any kind ya like, and then the soda.
Mobsters getting free soft drinks. I don’t quite get it but it still made me laugh.
His house looked like shit!
@@cletusjones9411 its a line from the show. Chris gets made and a pizza shop owner gives him a pie and "free soft drinks of choice."
This guys more creative than Spielberg
(05:40) Tony had a whole load of ideas about Adrianna ... but they allegedly ended up all over the visor in the car that night - Oh !
Actually I never thought of this until now. If Tony hadn't wrecked the car, he and Adriana probably would have done the Horizontal Mambo.

then you got a problem, cause ya brachole ain't even that long
Catching, nog pitching?
Hearing “mad ripe” and “creaming” when you are high as fuck is funny as fuck. You just make me laugh so fucking much because everything goes together 😂😂😂
Another great analysis!
This actually gives a whole new meaning to when Tony beats Christopher and yells "YOU THINK YOU'RE ALONE IN THIS?" as if he also loved Adriana and he's lost her too!
Very insightful, very allegorical. The sacred AND the propane accessories
Tbh overthinking it
This video makes me think back to Christopher’s sexually charged nightmare when Adriana turned into Carmela.
In my dreams people turn into other people all the time. The sopranos is the only show or movie I’ve watched that accurately reflects the randomness of dreams
"You threw food at Vito. That needs to be resolved."
Vito can always suck the stains out of the chef whites.
I always saw it as pure fantasy; like I could quit my job and go live in the woods, I could abandon my kids and join the circus; I could leave all of this stress, the mob the life behind and go be with Adrianna. We all have fantasies and like Tony with Carmella think up reasons not to do it. Ultimately Tony wants to get away from the stress and responsibility and his own issues, Adrianna is just the face he gave his dream but in reality he'd turn on her when life again doesn't go his way.
well said. he would get over her loooks
Tony isn't fantasizing about Adriana, really. I think he is really just daydreaming about getting away from the Mafia and living a simpler lifer selling Patio furniture off Route 22. Adriana is just a vector for that.
Imagine if Tony and adriana were married instead of tony and Carmela it just seems like Carmella is unhappy being married to tony.
Who knows, he could even branch off into precision optics?
0:54 amazing choice of Christopher's face given the context, lol
"Dysentery in the ranks." 😆😆😆😆😆
The shaw of Iran that one got me lmao
Artie also says something similar in Season 2 about Adriana
" his body is mad ripe"
LMFAO... im dead ...
This is weird, but this is a "normal" weird thought - at least for someone like Tony.
Tony isn't young. He looks at Christopher as a younger version of himself. He looks at Adrianna as the kind of girl he'd be with.
Her apparent attraction to him is a boost to his esteem. It suggests he can still get "the kind of girl" he could get as a young man. He knows that's not strictly true. But he fantasies about getting away from his responsibilities and starting again. This time, he'd do it right.
Adrianna comes to represent this silly fantasy.
His excuses seem bizzare. Getting rinsed in the divorce? Yes, this seems like a ridiculous excuse. But in reality, it's just an example of Tony starting to think of reality. He knows the reality is that he can't go back in time. He's not a young man. He can't start over. What he said was just childish. He's like a small 12 year old boasting to his friends that he could be the biggest kid in class in a fight. He believes the statement when he starts the sentence, starts to realise he's being ridiculous towards the end of the sentence. Then doubles down on the statement when his friends express doubt, but comes up with an excuse not to fight the kid.
"Duncan thinks he's so tough, but I could take him! I'd kick his butt!"
"What? Really?""
"Of course I could. He's not so tough. But his sister is hot, and she'd hate me afterwards".
Tony's conversation is just a combination of a humble brag, some virtue signalling, getting overexcited about a compliment, fantasising about regaining his youth, then rapidly coming up with a rationalisation for not doing it in a way that avoids admitting that his fantasy was ridiculous - in order to avoid interrogating the idea further as a means of avoiding losing face.
It's all very silly, but very human.
Christopher was young but you wanna know who was really young? Phil’s kid brudda Billy, just a 47 year old kid.
@@Dan_Ben_Michael Still in diapers
Always with the scenarios
Walt Whitman ova here!
This is one of your best video observations to date. BRAVO!
I didn't know until now that one of Tony's driving motivations was to keep his crew from succumbing to the shits! Who says mob bosses have no heart! Dysentery is no joke!
Wow - I never noticed that bot ade and Tony use the do it right this time line
Odd and disturbing fantasies are common with narcissists, and Tony displayed narcissistic tendencies. So it fits.
Some of these nuances and psychological anomalies are just the result of different scriptwriters' takes on things.
Excellent video.... just curious though , I notice there are no pictures of Adriana during the course of this video. Why is that?
Love your stuff man!!
Enjoy your vids, thanks for the work mate
Thanks for giving me more Sopranos content to watch. I recently finished the series and now I feel empty.
Watch it again man so much stuff gets unnoticed like Karen’s ghost
@@DD-ej1hg Good idea! Creepy, btw. That scene is creepy.
Your callbacks are so perfect! Good work!
The Sopranos for me remains the greatest television series ever made. The writers were geniuses.
I thought the same until I’ve seen succession
@@thotslayer8052never heard of it, ill watch. the wire for me
0:26 technically it was still the DeMeo family with 2 Soprano headed crews.
Good stuff cineranter. Very allegorical
It crazy that he's trying to find a new wife considering how lucky he is to have Carmela. She's beautiful, a great home maker, who put up with his flandering as long as he didn't rub her nose in it. Carm is a real one.
A real constant pain in the ass! Tony is a horrible husband, and naybe partially responsible for how Carmela turned out, but she is damn hard to put up with!
She's a hypocritical monster, they all are.
Thanks, Cine! God bless
There’s something about the combination of your voice/accent and your saying things like “creaming for him” that is highly amusing. 😂😂
Tony tries to keep "dysentery" in the ranks low by nailing all the bathrooms shut. I mean, they already lost one guy on the crapper (for the opposite reason, but still), so better be safe than sorry!
Thank you! I was wondering if I'd misheard that, even after listening to it five times. "dysentery in the ranks" hahaha awesome...
😆😂🤣🤣
After all, his body is mad ripe
I nearly pissed myself and he said this hahahahaha
Is it just a running gag that you call dissent dysentery lmfao
I had to stop and go back to make sure I heard right! 😂
Chris says that in an episode
My God. You really don't know?
"Keeping dysentary in the ranks to a minimum."
Yeah great job with that.
It wasn't about Ade, it was about Tony going through a separation. Every man takes it hard when the wife kick him out of his own house, imagine the emotional impact of it on someone like Tony.
Tony tried to keep dysentery out of the ranks. Something Adriana couldn’t do
Dude, you're so funny❤ love these
Dysentery in the ranks? That's right, they strongarmed the plumbing inspector at The Bing.
Dissent - a difference of opinion
Dysentery - infection of the intestines resulting in severe diarrhea
Disinterested
Walt Whitman ova here
I feel like tony becomes more sympathetic and understanding after he got shot , way more than he wants the others to know , but regardless , in a business sense , he becomes more depraved and pragmatic and cold hearted
Great insight
yeah i always felt it was pretty obvious adriana was willing to do anything for chrissi and that she was just willing to go along with whatever Tony said because 1) he's the boss🫣 and 2) the feds were in her ear telling her to help herself.
which is clearly what she wanted and implied she was trying to do. help the feds get to tony. so that they he can get out of the life.
i actually think theres some merit to that theory and how it is played in contrast to tony who feels he could just runaway with ade.
Airing his fantasy no doubt...great channel dude 👏
Christopher does indeed have the makings of a varsity sniffer
Holy smokes, man! Overthinking it or not, this is pretty damn effing cool and in-depth analysis! Well done!
When you mentioned Ade catching, not pitching, I immediately though of Chris's dream (dreams in general, being - among other things - about insecurities). I'm referring to the dream where "in the Czech Republic too, they love pork!" and he sees Ade uhmm... having a big fat sausage. After the crash, the feds, hearing the gossip, even make fun Tony's weight. And apparently, the gossip among the ranks wouldn't have even been that far-fetched, if Phil wouldn't have, without intent, put a stop to it just in time.
Soon as I saw the thumbnail I thought this was going to be about "Well you get a pass for that."
CineRanter: *Sees Borko*
CineRanter: “You couldn’t fuckin retire!?”
Alternative scenario to think about. If Adriana had succeeded in getting closer to Tony, do you think his guard would’ve been down enough for her to get any useful information? He usually gets evasive whenever asked too directly about anything mob related. Do you think he would’ve spotted it?
Tony would never run away with Adriana. Even if he did, it would be like what happened to Vito: he’d miss the criminal life and he’d end up returning.
". I DID DINT ". lol
I think it's just ego. Tony thinks he can have literally anyone he wants. Plus Tony is sad, and is tired of his life. It's a day dream. You can think about stuff in real world terms and still know it's a fantasy. But yeah I get what you mean.
“The guys are asking for head….his head.”
Well he was prank calling Arties wife like a 15 year old.
Probably the best episode on the show. The event that changed everything, the no retourn line.
I always interpretated Sopranos as a show that's presented from Toni's point of view, so Carmela, even tho very atractive for many fans, is never presented as a "hot" character in the show, and even in her sex scenes with Tony, I could feel some sad/awkard vives, like Tony was forcing himself to like her.
Meanwhile, the show goes all the way to depict Adraina as a hot, sexual, atractive girl, wich leads me to belive that all along, instead of Melfi, Tony's secret crush was Adriana. He always defended her with Cristofer, told him to keep her around, allowed her to hang around his inner circle and felt distressed when she died.
Tony is a very proud man so he probably never admited this to himself, but I always felt like he was jelous of Cristofer, who's young, brave and liked, thus, begin the possesive man that he is, he would always desire to take his woman.
It's a tension that was there from the very begining, but buttled up, and ultimately, it became the conflict that set all of the events from the final episodes in motion, the "weak link" of the New Jersey family.
Tony’s weirdest line was actually when he asked “whatever happened to Gary Cooper?” Because it’s well known Gary Cooper passed away in 1961
Dysentery in the ranks? Yowser!
Can anyone tell me what the line is please I just slipped through the entire video and didn’t see any spoken dialogue from the show.
He said nearly the same thing about Charmaine
0:51 “the constipated owl.”
You mean "vishnu come lately" wasn't the weirdest?
This is my first time hearing the phrase “cock up,” but it’s obviously another way of saying “f*ck up.”
8:40… okay Jackie Jr 😂
8:48… okay Jackie Jr 😂
The timing of this vid is nice cause I just watched that episode last night (doing my annual Soprano's re-watch). But I don't think running away & abandoning everything is what he was contemplating. He was thinking to just start over with a new public relationship, like his sister & Bobby. In his head, Christopher would either accept it or get dealt with. He's a boss, so everyone else will fall in line & be supportive, regardless if they agree with it or not... he knows their obedience can be counted on. Similar to how they laugh at his jokes even when he knows they're not as funny as the amount of laughter suggests.
Never ever saw Aide running away with Tony. She's done too for Christopher. It's strange how people entertain this as if she was some tramp. She's no Skylar. Christopher was stronger, better, faster, greater, braver than Jesse. If anything Aide was trying to entrap him. Get Tony turned on or out of the way for her and Chrissy.
@@ButtersCCookie I never said Aide would agree to it. I was just saying what I think was going on in the fantasy in Tony's head. I don't know what you're trying to say when you mention Skylar & Jesse... but I will say that Aide was not that smart. She was very easy to manipulate. Her pulling anyone into her web was just unlikely. It was always the other way around. When the feds 1st approached her, most people would've said "Lawyer" immediately, and never got pulled into their web. Another example is when Matush got her to help cover up a murder... and if Tony never crashed that night with her in the car, we all know where that was going. Then final example of her being easily manipulated, believing Tony on the phone & letting Silvio come pick her up, right after admitting to Christopher that she's been working with the feds.
I'm still trying to figure out "ride the painted pony and let the spinning wheel fly"
Paulie is more creative than Spielberg.
I think it was just impulsive Tony ranting another's hypothetical scenario
Chaps too
Like a pebble in the lake, even the fish feel it.
Very similar thoughts and very well brocken down.
*Dissent,* not dysentery.😂
Good video.
Tone was entertaining a hot fantasy for a hot moment allowing his mind to run away with the idea, but he knew he really couldn't do it.
The line is worth an analysis but I don’t think it’s that profound. It just showcases Tony’s impulsivity.
All I know is that he never had the makings of a varsity athlete
GODAMIT WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU!!
@@kokop.1610 You mad?
A lot of initial loving feelings appear to be really strong and deep (irl too)
thought this would be about Nissan's Triple Safety Philosophy
Maintain “dysentery“ in the ranks? I think you mean dissention lol.
He wasn't fantasizing about running away with Adriana specifically. It was more of a general idea about being able to start over with a younger woman and, as he said, "do it right this time."
When Chris threw that sandwich at Vito, I'm surprised he didn't catch it like a seal at Water World
fuckin parade float
As far as his most degenerative trait….it’s murder. Not extramarital affairs. Definitely murder.
Tony wants to express his fear. He feels trapped. Penned in by his own short sightedness and bad life decisions. His impulsiveness and self delusions are there to help hiom hide from the nightmare his life is quickly becoming. He wants an escape capsule. He wants out, but they keep pulling him back in. :D
every man has an adriana-type start-over escape fantasy
I defer to you on these issues, and on all things, cineranter, but Tony doesn't really 'make a play' for Adrianna. It's just something hovering in the air that neither of them really confront.
I love your videos. Someone should grease your union.
I love how you misuse the word Dysentery 🤣 - if Tony was responsible for controlling dystenery in the ranks, he better buy more toilet paper
