Not to mention he helped diffuse the initial riff between Ralph and Tony.

He was a good character but he shouldn't have openly cried like that during the wedding.

to be fair, he was playing both sides like a rat

I don't think he was. He wasn't extorting Ralphie or doing anything of the sort either.

watch it again, he coerces Ralphie to seek an apology he knows Tony won't give and just generally stirs shit

Would you sanction it, Sup Forums?

The Esplanade was John's main concern though. Why would he look to stir shit up when he explicitly stressed to Tony that it wouldn't hurt either of them to have "a point man in there that feels appreciate"?

he fucking cried at his daughters wedding when he was arrested. A complete bitch move for a bitch of a "man". Deserved everything he got.

Ralphie deserved a beating and more but tying it to the insult was begging for chaos.

Should have just given him some tainted blow and let him kill himself.

NO. Carmine was in the right, too many dollars were at stake.

John was in an emotional state (understandably so) but he was irrational.

CLINT EASTWOOD OVA' HERE:

Johnny got a lot of rough deals, but that's the game baby. The shit will chew you up.

I remember when you used to wait in the car.

had nothing to do with the Esplanade, he just wanted to create discontent in the Soprano family

IN THE MUSEUM OF NOSES, HERE COMES THE MONA LISA

The way he cucked Paulie was some fantastic TV.

John was partly right. In the old days, a made man insulting the wife of an underboss - especially the underboss of a much larger and more important family - would have gotten whacked.

This. Besides, Ralphie wasn't irreplaceble, Vito was making top dollar for Tone.

WHAT DOES HE GET TO FUCK HER FOR A MILLION

Let's not forget who started that shit. Paulie created a fuckload of problems for the family and never once owned up to them because of his ego

that fanook more important than ralphie? madon

Sure, Paulie was a weasel but he never got caught. What he did was enough to get him clipped.

Paulie was the one who ratted Ralphie out though, and Ralphie was hardly the only one guilty, the entire Jersey crew made jokes at Ginny's expense

Ralph wants to fuck Ginny?

He was my favorite character. Also made me hate Phil even more when he made fun of him crying. Sack was the man and a good dude. Could have had Ralph dead. That scene always gets me
