Best part of the show was AY TON, HOWZABOUT WE BUST SOME BALLS WIDDA GABBAGOOL, O-HHHH! meatball soap opera.
WITH PULP
CARMELA SHUT THE DOOOOOOR
VARSITY ATHLETE MAKINGS HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>melfi scenes are the weakest part of the whole show
That'd be Tony B scenes
You're crowding me
Milfi was such a dumb fricken moron it's unreal. At least it portrays what happens when smart people see a shrink because it's only effective on cattle or women
>smart people
holy shit zoomers think Tony was smart?
I can't think of one truly smart thing Tony did. What dumb things did he do though?
>man who becomes the boss of a mafia family at a young age isn't smart
have a nice day moron
>boss of a mafia family
it was a glorified crew
Wasn't Capone notoriously moronic?
Later in life cause of the syphilis
Tony is obviously smart, he's not wise
in psych speak you'd say tony had a high intelligence quotient but no emotional quotient.
a business that operates off dealing with people - that's a rough job for a person like tony.
if he was a financial analyst or a stock broker he would've had tons of sucess.
would've also eventually killed someone but that's besides the point.
Quite the opposite. Tony's lack of empathy made him a great leader and astute businessman but he let his emotions get the better of him and made some really vain, stupid decisions
>Tony's lack of empathy made him a great leader and astute businessman but he let his emotions get the better of him
The show LITERALLY shows you him fricking up relationships with his crew coz he doesn't understand how they feel about him(remember him making his capo trash a painting of him just coz he's personally embarrassed by it?)
he unironically fricks up coz he doesn't understand what makes the people who follow him tick so he can never get 100 percent out of them and instead hurts them by making odd decisions.
great leaders have great empathy - they can make hard decisions sure but leaderships isn't about making hard decisions all of the time.
Tony had no problem killing people sure but keeping them alive - he had no clue how to do that.
joe derosa is an unfunny, drunken old man
ruins every podcast heäs invited to

The sandwich guy??
Because that's half of the scenes in that starting season.
I only got to season 3 does he ever frick her?
The milfi scenes were comfy, but they serve little purpose to the plot. It's just explaining the events of the episode to morons and acts as a convenient way to introduce Tony to other characters in the waiting room.
No, but she gets raped and fantasizes about having Tony kill the guy who did it.
I like the Melfi scenes
They call 'em repeating digits tone, it's when a numerical sequence lines up in an aesthetically pleasing way or some shit
I would have preferred more Melfi scenes to be honest
It was worth having her in the show just for those two brief dream sequence scenes where she gets her breasts out.
>melfi scenes are the weakest part of the show
filtered, unironically
David Chase basically explains it's the In on the show
it's how you access the story
it's like real life because everyone is lying
?
Tony basically inherited his position, and while he was street smart and business savvy, in terms of actual intelligence he's basically average. A lot of the people around him are true morons. It's a case of a midwit being king of the morons. The really smart people weren't doing the kind of shit they were.
congrats, you got the most basic level subtext of the show
i find that your post insists upon itself.
Shrink?!
His wife was the weakest part. The constant whinning got so tiring.
>The constant whinning got so tiring.
That means it was perfectly captured
