Omar dies.

I liked that scene a lot , but I think a lot of the comedy in The Wire just isn't funny, or it's funny in a "sensible chuckle" kind of way. The Sopranos is far more hilarious without even trying to be.

>chink up them eyes, yeah

OMG! D-did you just spoil me a 10 year old TV show!

sopranos is both the funniest show of all time and the best drama of all time

the only people who care about spoilers and genuinely think they ruin the enjoyment of shit are dumb hipster faggots

>pie tin
what does this even mean

...

>inner city's pie pans are deformed and elongated instead of proportionally round, from getting smushed en masse storage inside ratty warehouses
fuck this subculture and trying to understand it

I WANT SUMMADAT PEPPA STEAK

no shit sherlock

FUCKING QUEERS

WMDS
I GOT WMDS YO

Wire isn't trying to be funny, whereas Sopranos is.

come on man, the wire has tons of intentional comedy

holy shit I swear I posted b4 you

it's a pie, not a cake you fucking retard

This. If a show is genuinely well made, spoilers like that don't matter. It's all about the buildup, the climax is just the cherry on top.

what if you spoil the buildup?

if you manage to do that without the person realizing he's getting spoiled until the end then I guess you're the ultimate troll.

i don't like this generalization. it's true for the wire but if you make it about murder mystery shows it doesn't hold up. your viewing will be very negatively affected if you know that the murderer is the protagonist's brother or whatever.
