roger sterling of mad men

It's never not funny when he repeats what he says to Tony.

tony himself had better moments but paulie is more consistently banterlicious

Paulie Walnuts

EB Farnum of Deadwood

Rust Cohl of TD

rust doesn't have any cheeky banter, its just edge

bait?

...

FUCKIN QUEERS

>DAT FILE NAME

> It's Roger talking shit about japs and Honda episode

THE BALLS ON THIS PRICK

...

IT ITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Miiiiister Garibaldi!

WHAT DO YA HEAR?!

>It's a Chrissy spills his heart out only to have it stepped on episode

Did Paulie go too far?

pantysniffing mothefucker!

>given classic Italian gourmet food
>ask for gravy and 'roni instead

Ralphie was a close second

Except to everyone else in the room

What the fuck?? Why is this Paulie's song??

>ask for macaroni and gravy
>receive spaghetti bolognese

...

gravy's good tonite tone

His banter was shit. It's a fucking INTEGRAL POINT OF THE CHARACTER that his banter was shit; people laughed at him not with him.
You're a fucking moron.

AIDS????????????????

What the fuck?? Why is this Paulie's song??

Fucking baby

>le contrarian opinion

lol actually a 10/10 reaction .gif
>He can't afford an iPhone.

>I don't care if you're overweight, you're beautiful to me
>is that a chocolate bar? I'll kill you you fat cunt

I don't understand why finding out that his wife lied to him convinced him to not have Ralphie killed

I was prepared to roll my eyes at any contenders, but this is the best of them.
>MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME

NOBODY HAS AIDS

my uncle met paulie once on a plane, he said he was pretty much exactly like he is on the show and he reeked of aftershave lotion

...

Tony is certainly top tier ball breaker
His banter is funny even when he's an asshole
>The rent, the rent!
>Oh! The language on you! You suck your father's cock with that mouth?
>Shah of Iran
>Sacre bleu! Where is me mama!
>hesianic homeboy

It's actually:

>you blow ya fadda wit that mouth?

i see it as johnny sac realizing that ginny, rather than being a poor helpless woman who can't lose weight no matter how hard she tries, is actually a cheater. he realized that ralphies joke had a tad of credence and understood that it wasn't made as a joke meant to hurt, but a joke meant to exaggerate reality. it's not worth losing millions over satire.


sopranos is complicated

Take your hat off.

I'm glad someone in this thread understands the show.

well i've watched the show prolly 7 times now so i better understand it. something i don't understand is who exactly didn't want tony's mom to live with them? carm asks her to stay with them, but tony told melfi that carm wouldn't allow it. is this just tony lying about the reason to seem like a better person to melfi, or is it carm who knew that livia wouldn't take the offer to live with them and only offered it to make her feel like the bigger woman?

Roger and Paulie meet in a bar.

Post underrated Paulie quotes

Most certainly Carm being nice but not actually wanting it.

I think it's because of Tony she ultimately doesn't allow it.

yeah that makes sense, tony fucking loved his mother the first few episodes.

Just finished watching it. It really is a 10/10

Incredibly realistic series throughout, psychological characterization is just perfect. But two points of the plot are just too much for me to swallow:

1) How the fuck did Pussy get back. I get that Tony was in a shit spot in his life, his own mother and uncle had just tried to kill him and he was probably feeling more inclined than usual to accept Pussy back. However, his story was utter bullshit ("hey, there's a broad involved, it's complicated") and the very fact he would purportedly desert his crew (during a time an attempt on the boss' life was made, no less) out of a fear of being whacked would be a massive insult to everyone (i.e. that they'd act without being certain). If you're down with that thing of theirs, you have nothing to fear. "Oh, they found out it was Jimmy, guess I'll be back now"

2) How the fuck did Tony let Junior live. Tony even tries to give him the chance to admit he was played by Livia, but Junior insists it was all him. This is NOT something a boss would just put behind his back - Tony wanted to suffocate Livia with a pillow, and that's just for wanting him dead (she couldn't physically finance or call the hit). Junior losing boss status and being demoted to Capo for an assassination attempt which ended in Tony being one inch away from getting his head blown off is probably the most unrealistic element in an otherwise incredibly believable series

He used to play catch with him...
Also I just rewatched Where's Johnny. The varsity athlete repetition and T's reaction never fail to make me lose my shit.

FUND IT

Have you people watched the sequel to The Sopranos?

youtube.com/watch?v=Z2xIEeOfgVc

1) tony didn't want to believe, only when presented with incontestable proof did he know what he had to do.
2) i dont think junior was ever demoted to capo, he was still considered by the feds to be the boss/lightning rod, even in jail. and since he was in jail/house arrest, it was easy for tony to do whatever he wanted in regards to juniors crew. besides, he was senpai

Jesus Christ, Vincent Curatola should have more self-respect.

Cringe worthy.

>Tell Chrissy to watch it
>he doesn't watch it
>he gets brained in the head by a russian interior decorator

>ywn share ketchup packets with paulie

On the subject of Junior:

A. Male family nepotism, see Christopher and Blundetto's special treatment
Janice and Liv he hated especially. He had problems with women due to the mommy issues.
But with the costra nosta, there's a certain respect and process for male figures that go against you.
You can't just wack him. It's a process. All the enemies and allies and business incomes of Junior have to be considered, not to mention how it looks.

B. He was technically operating underneath Junior as "acting boss", which was a nice little cover up for Tony to hide from Feds under.

Whs she truly demented or was it all an act?

It was all an elaborate ruse

what was his FUCKING problem?

WORD TO THE WISE, REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR

...

>gets the shit kicked outta him on a regular basis
>stays at his job

I know eventually he left, but I feel like after Ralphie cracked him in the head, he probably would have quit.

>it's an "Italian Jackie Chan with a ponytail" episode

>Sil's Matrix trenchcoat

fuck you santa!

OHHHHHHH!

Half and half.

And the fact that you can never fully tell is the brilliant part of the show.
Ambiguity is something that not every filmmaker should be allowed to use as they often abuse it and rely on the crutch it provides for shitty writing.

If you want to see the plot function work responsibly and perfectly, look no further than The Sopranos.

You apologize to santa!

this show was so comfy growing up as an italian american... I thought life would be fun like this....

Im 28, its not fun and the extras on the show have had a better life then me.

Help me phams. With TS I was hooked from minute one. Did I fall for the David Lynch meme?

I think you mean "stigmata"

When you're right


You're right

The Wire and Breaking Bad are the only other ones worth watching

Beansies a real stand up guy. You hear what I said Ton'? I said beansies a real stand up guy. Heheh.

Italians don't talk like that, maybe people from naples

>If it was me this kid was spreading rumors about, he'd have something up his own ass. And it wouldn't be no cock, either!
