Grew up being an butthole then got put in prison a significant chunk of his life. His brother was running things then dies so rightfully he should have significantly more power/money but has to take a back seat constantly. Just an butthole in a shitty situation.
Second best line of the series. > I'll build a ramp up to your ass, drive a Lionel up in there
First best line was from tony when they were discussing the Vito situation >he’s a come from behind kinda guy!
>what the frick was his problem
He didn't do threats, he just did it. I'd rather have a pint with Richie than Ralphie but he'll end up shoving a glass in someone's face for a minor disagreement
>I thought I told you to back off beansie >I did, and then I put it in drive
Richie expected more respect from being in the can and having his brother dying as boss. His biggest mistake was that he kept selling coke on the garbage routes.
>I feel like we just did the same arc twice in a row.
They were very similar (too similar to be back to back) but they had enough differences >Ralph was a loudmouth madman whereas Richie was more old school quiet >Tony always saw Richie as a nuisance, whereas Ralph was one of his guys
>Ralph was unmanageable and his actions ate into profit
This wasn't the case at all. Ralph was a massive earner in basically everything he did
Richie legit made plans and an unsuccessful move against Tony, fueled by Janice. Richie couldn't sell taking over/out Tony because he's a short term guy good at making a quick buck but not a steady revenue stream. Tony was 100% right about the Coke on the routes. Ralphie just wanted to make money and have fun and waited relatively patiently in line for his opportunities. Ralphies idea of fun was at times sadistic and crossed the line which rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. Ralphie probably would never make a move against Tony and if it weren't for the horse being a catalyst he would probably still be alive.
>Ralph was unmanageable and his actions ate into profit
Maybe you should watch the show instead of just browse these threads for memes. Ralph only kept his life as long as he did because he was a good earner. Sack was going to kill him over a fricking joke and before that he refused to introduce or even vouch for ralph to Carmine. And that doesn't even touch on Tony, the man that actually had to put up with him.
I liked both characters and wish they overlapped for at least a season.
The main difference seems to be that Tony seemed to have some sort of friendship with Ralph since their teen years and though Tony hated Ralph since he killed the whooah, Tony had to pretend he still gave a shit about him after being forced to promote him after Gigi died taking a shit.
Richie was older and part of a different generation of the family. Though it was suggested that they were somewhat friendly back in the day, Richie chafed over the fact that that a kid was the boss and that he stepped over Junior - who Richie respects - to do it.
In a way the Tony B arc had elements of both those characters and the different ways that they related to Tony. Refreshingly, Blundetto held no ill will over getting pinched. Though he ended up costing Tony dearly with NY when he whacked Uncle Philly's 44 year old kid bruddah.
Feech was more of a Richie re-tread, but he was another generation older and had personal beef with Tony over the robbed card game.
Not related to your post, but it’s crazy to me how a lot of anons don’t realize that the point of all these characters is how tony reacts and handles them, because they’re all basically the same guy to varying degrees, but tony handles them all completely differently.
Richie and Ralphie arent the same at all besides their names starting with R, fricking janice and being problem guys for tony. Richie was oldschool and Ralphie thought money was all that mattered, if anything they were opposites.
Well, different because they were different eras in relation to Tony. Plus, Blundetto was in prison and Ralph was in Miami. Tony at least learned from the Richie situ-aa-tion by nipping Feech in the bud. Though it seems that Feech was going Uncle Junyah IRL, so they wrote him out earlier than intended. I do think Tony fricked up his handling of Richie, especially over the jacket, even if Richie caused a lot of his own problems and had Janice putting poison in his ears. Had Tony stored that jacket in his basement and forgotten about it, Richie might have stuck around for a while and settled down.
>we just had a problem, to make it up to you heres some old sweaty jacket I stole from some guy I beat up 20 years ago
That was a slight. Hes telling tony that hes like a little kid and gives him a gift a child would have enjoyed.
Some have said that. Yet, Richie was genuinely hurt that Tony gave it away.
If the gift were meant as a slight, he'd have reacted differently. Tony no-sold any slight with his underwhelmed reaction anyway.
I wonder if David Chase passed comment on this.

Id say richie wanted an excuse to be angry, dude was clearly a rage addict whos only pleasure in life was hurting others. I think the only time he was genuinely hurt by anything was when janice told him tony didnt want him around the kids. Or when it was suggested his only son was a gay I guess, but that could be because he was a gay in prison if tonys linene about better looking men in the can meant anything.

That scene gives alot of credibility to the claim, especially with how dissatisfied he seems afterwards. Guess it just isnt the same as prison buck breaking. I guess you could argue that its because it is consentual instead of rape what with the whole gun to Janice's head during sex thing.

1. Prison culture is fricked, being gay in there doesn't count for whatever reason.
2. I don't think he's actually gay and Tony was just talking shit about him.
3. He's incredibly homophobic in the traditional sense i.e. he's willing to bust up a broad for even suggesting there is nothing wrong with his son being possibly gay.

1 and 3 arent exclusive. That duality and conflict within himself is a big motivator for his reaction to "ricky". Hes a gay, he knows it and hates himself for it, suggesting his son is also gay is just bringing up his self loathing so he has to shut up the accusations as well as prove what a strong macho man he really is. You have to remember this show is made for psychoanalysis of the characters and has alot of this sort of thing for them, the majority of them are hypocrites.

Indeed. Rape victims are considered gay, even though the rapist is the one who wants to frick another man in the ass.

In truth, I doubt Richie thought much of Beansie while he was in prison. He probably never missed his lack of visits because, as Tony points out, why WOULD Beansie visit him in prison?
Richie is fresh out of prison and walking the streets when he sees the pizza place. We are led to believe that whatever Beansie was into before was not nearly as formal. Richie sees an open and ostensibly thriving business with Beansie's name on it. So Richie, who has nothing, is jealous and works up a rage over an imaginary slight.
Richie did nothing for 20 years. Beansie lived on, became successful and mvoed on without him. So now he wants a piece. Had Beansie kicked up to him, he would probably still be walking. But Beansie rightly denies him. Why should he pay Richie? Especially since it seems he's making money for Tony directly.
But as much as Richie wants money he also seems to delight in hurting people and in taking things that he feels entitled to. Beansie is an easy target for him to beat up on and he knows that, even if Tony is really pissed, the consequences for paralyzing an associate are very slim. He wants to flex his made guy muscles. He wants to feed his ego as he has a serious inferiority complex. He wants respect after two decades of receiving none. And, yeah, he probably wanted a little cash in his hand at that very moment because again, he had nothing. He was wearing the clothes they give you when you leave prison. It's doubtful he had more than maybe $20 in his pocket. A whole lot of reasons converging all because Beansie had the misfortune of Richie getting out of the car right near his place and seeing a name that evoked a reaction inside Richie.
His problem was that that disrespectful, fat frick acting-boss wasn’t giving him a lot of options.
Cutting his cocaine-scheme, not letting Richie see his kids, protecting that two faced fricking business owner.
> do mob shit > earn big, save big > store earnings really really safe > get inevitably busted > compromise for 10-20 > get out > retire to Boca > no one wants to kill you or send you back to jail
20 years in the can and seeing the worst boss the family had in action when he got out. He didn't do anything wrong. He was upset with Tony but never broke any rules, meanwhile Tony was killing made guys, arranging hits against a boss,etc...
His only mistake was severely underestimating Janice. She was a stone cold gangster like her mother.
parents fricked me up and learned how to raise my brother into a functional normalchad, by learning from their mistakes with me
thats the deal with this
parents fricked me up and learned how to raise my brother into a functional normalchad, by learning from their mistakes with me
thats the deal with this
He was angry about losing his crew and his money when he was sent to prison.
He potentially missed out on being made acting boss, instead of his bruddah.
He saw Junyah as the Boss and not Tony.
Beansie invested his money smart, without any tribute paid to Richie (or any protection money to anyone else, it seems.)
He was blown after lights out in prison, but he gets a pash for dat.
He was angry about having to wait for Tony to get his piece of the Scatino bust out before his turn.
He did try to fall into line, but Tony mishandled the Richie situ-aa-tion and gave da jaaackeeet away to the husband of the Polack maid.
He couldn't get any other capos to back a hit on Tony. He couldn't fricking sell it.
His son was a gay and his protege was his dumb nephew who should have stayed in college.
Jackie Jr. Should have at least picked up a trade. With his connections he could have been mildly competent but still got paid like he had been doing the job for 30 years.
Jackie jr was a delusional moron. One of my favorite scenes is when he starts acting like the god father when that guy is trying to sell x at the club >do you know who my fawtha was?
and then his chat with Christopher immediately after where he just gets shot down and blown off >somebody is sitting there
Fat ugly c**ts need to have no limits if they ever want to catch a man. Theres a reason why her boyfriends are all fricked in the head or moronic like bobby.
Not to sound like a larper but having lived around criminals like this, this guy was actually one of the most spot on depictions of what psycho pieces of shit are actually like. I knew a guy who beat the shit out his mom's new husband on their wedding day
I think they wasted Richard Romanus as MILFi's ex-husband. He should have shown up more as another character.
Keitel and Bracco had a bad marriage, lmao.
This guy did such a good job as the seasonal antagonist that they just kept hiring a random semi-famous actor and having him annoy Tony for 11 to 14 episodes and then vanish.
It's the basic floor plan of the majority of the show and it's so fricking lazy and stale by the third or fourth go-around.
Reoccurring theme. Kind of funny how they all know that shit about being taken care of isnt true but when it comes to their turn they're incised by not being taken care of.
I mean historically if you were a high ranking member you were taken care of in and out of prison because you had dirt on everybody. It was there way of making sure you didn't rat out your friends as a state informant.
Youre right, but one of the themes of the show is the changing times and how things were moving away from traditions. For example that rant by Philly about how none of the made men in jersey are legit because they didnt do the initiation rituals and dont follow the old ways
The irony is that Phil was full of shit there. He was justifying making his personal war with Tony into a professional one.
We SEE Chrissy and Eugene get made. Their fingers were pricked and NY had opened the books. Carmine Sr. himself attends the 'afta-pahty'.
Tony said the books were closed in the first season, so clearly they were following the rules NY laid down and weren't making anyone until NY said so.
NJ may have been a glorified crew next to the five families of NY, but their members were legit.
Of course, the Sopranos were a bigger deal and were more successful than their real life counterparts, the DeCalavcantes. >The Goddamned ESPLANADE, GODDAMN IT!!!
What exactly was he owed? He went away as a low earning captain and came came back as a low earning captain. He didn't have a family that needed looking after, what did he expect? He was also a dick to Tony immediately, lack of respect for the boss is a big no no doesn't matter how much fricking time you did
Capos aren't low ranking, Capo or higher is the modern military equivalent of an officer and a high enough rank where certain benefits are expected. I'm not saying he wasn't stupid or a prick but he did get stiffed...
I didn't say low ranking, I said low earning. He's a chump of a captain, probably was before he got locked up, same as after he got out. Shaking down pizza parlors for chuno change, dealing coke on garbage routes, the fricking guy is a moron. If he had played his cards better, and showed more deference to Tony, he might have gotten treated better. A lot better. But I mean, first thing he does meeting Tony is mention how he's gotten fatter since they last met? The balls on that prick
What's funny about the jacket scene is that because (like Tony) Richie is a sociopath he doesn't realize the jacket shit wasn't as big in his brain as he imagined it. Tony was just talking shit and the way to get in his good graces and get respect was to GIVE respect.
He kept pushing too quickly, Tony would have taken care of him especially since he was Aprile's brother. He said so much but Richie got greedy too quickly also with Janice at the f'ing helm pushing him. He was already impulsive but to add that pressure aside and a gay dancing son he had to support a wedding for and a huge ass house Janice wanted he turned to desperate measures and forgot that you never go against your boss.
He was old school too, but unlike Paulie he didn't realize the crews and modern day Mafia are run by Tony's gen, slightly younger and things had CHANGED since he'd been in. RICO cases, feds and all the types of business they had to conduct and how were modified to protect and insulate those at the top from the mistakes of their predecessors.
He was a loose cannon who just didn't f'ing listen.
Let's not pretend Tony was a fair boss, or that criminals make fair bosses in general. He only promoted family or easily manipulated nobodies like Gigi.
Whatever Richie was getting without side drug thing was all he was going to get from Tony. And after twontyyearsinthecannopeep that was an insulting pittance.
Beansy was making a move
didnt move enough when Richie ran over him
had to get in on brother
He had legitimate beef
Low IQ sociopath. Many such cases!
Manlet
this
chrissy, ralphie and richie, all insane manlets
Grew up being an butthole then got put in prison a significant chunk of his life. His brother was running things then dies so rightfully he should have significantly more power/money but has to take a back seat constantly. Just an butthole in a shitty situation.
richie was a fricking rat
you ask anybody.
Second best line of the series.
> I'll build a ramp up to your ass, drive a Lionel up in there
First best line was from tony when they were discussing the Vito situation
>he’s a come from behind kinda guy!
My personal favorite line has always been:
>we had our mofo, or whatever...
From "Amour Fou"
>what the frick was his problem
He didn't do threats, he just did it. I'd rather have a pint with Richie than Ralphie but he'll end up shoving a glass in someone's face for a minor disagreement
>I thought I told you to back off beansie
>I did, and then I put it in drive
He's a shopping cart, from here on out.
The fricking jaaccccketttttttt. That was his problem.
IS that not the wop from Smokin Aces?
Richie expected more respect from being in the can and having his brother dying as boss. His biggest mistake was that he kept selling coke on the garbage routes.
>His biggest mistake was that he kept selling coke on the garbage routes.
His biggest mistake was getting into a relationship with Janice
What was the difference between Richie and Ralphie? I feel like we just did the same arc twice in a row. Which arc did you like more?
The difference? Richie was fricking Janice and Ralphie was getting fricked by Janice.
>Mommy little tramp. Mommy's little WHOOAH!
Instinctively read it in picrel’s voice
>I feel like we just did the same arc twice in a row.
They were very similar (too similar to be back to back) but they had enough differences
>Ralph was a loudmouth madman whereas Richie was more old school quiet
>Tony always saw Richie as a nuisance, whereas Ralph was one of his guys
Plus the threat of each was different
>Richie wanted to take Tony’s position
>Ralph was unmanageable and his actions ate into profit
>Ralph was unmanageable and his actions ate into profit
This wasn't the case at all. Ralph was a massive earner in basically everything he did
yeah that's the main reason Tony put up with his shit
Richie legit made plans and an unsuccessful move against Tony, fueled by Janice. Richie couldn't sell taking over/out Tony because he's a short term guy good at making a quick buck but not a steady revenue stream. Tony was 100% right about the Coke on the routes. Ralphie just wanted to make money and have fun and waited relatively patiently in line for his opportunities. Ralphies idea of fun was at times sadistic and crossed the line which rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. Ralphie probably would never make a move against Tony and if it weren't for the horse being a catalyst he would probably still be alive.
>Ralph was unmanageable and his actions ate into profit
Maybe you should watch the show instead of just browse these threads for memes. Ralph only kept his life as long as he did because he was a good earner. Sack was going to kill him over a fricking joke and before that he refused to introduce or even vouch for ralph to Carmine. And that doesn't even touch on Tony, the man that actually had to put up with him.
Ralph only lasted so long cause he made money for everyone while Richie was just an old school goon.
Entitled
And with the cousin too. At least Tony learned his lesson and got the other old frick sent back to jail early.
Richie was Richie being a problem, ralphie was Tony’s ego being a problem
ralphie was an earner
I liked both characters and wish they overlapped for at least a season.
The main difference seems to be that Tony seemed to have some sort of friendship with Ralph since their teen years and though Tony hated Ralph since he killed the whooah, Tony had to pretend he still gave a shit about him after being forced to promote him after Gigi died taking a shit.
Richie was older and part of a different generation of the family. Though it was suggested that they were somewhat friendly back in the day, Richie chafed over the fact that that a kid was the boss and that he stepped over Junior - who Richie respects - to do it.
In a way the Tony B arc had elements of both those characters and the different ways that they related to Tony. Refreshingly, Blundetto held no ill will over getting pinched. Though he ended up costing Tony dearly with NY when he whacked Uncle Philly's 44 year old kid bruddah.
Feech was more of a Richie re-tread, but he was another generation older and had personal beef with Tony over the robbed card game.

Of course, the Sopranos were a bigger deal and were more successful than their real life counterparts, the DeCalavcantes.

What exactly was he owed? He went away as a low earning captain and came came back as a low earning captain. He didn't have a family that needed looking after, what did he expect? He was also a dick to Tony immediately, lack of respect for the boss is a big no no doesn't matter how much fricking time you did
Capos aren't low ranking, Capo or higher is the modern military equivalent of an officer and a high enough rank where certain benefits are expected. I'm not saying he wasn't stupid or a prick but he did get stiffed...
I didn't say low ranking, I said low earning. He's a chump of a captain, probably was before he got locked up, same as after he got out. Shaking down pizza parlors for chuno change, dealing coke on garbage routes, the fricking guy is a moron. If he had played his cards better, and showed more deference to Tony, he might have gotten treated better. A lot better. But I mean, first thing he does meeting Tony is mention how he's gotten fatter since they last met? The balls on that prick
He never followed his dream of opening a jacket store
What's funny about the jacket scene is that because (like Tony) Richie is a sociopath he doesn't realize the jacket shit wasn't as big in his brain as he imagined it. Tony was just talking shit and the way to get in his good graces and get respect was to GIVE respect.
He kept pushing too quickly, Tony would have taken care of him especially since he was Aprile's brother. He said so much but Richie got greedy too quickly also with Janice at the f'ing helm pushing him. He was already impulsive but to add that pressure aside and a gay dancing son he had to support a wedding for and a huge ass house Janice wanted he turned to desperate measures and forgot that you never go against your boss.
He was old school too, but unlike Paulie he didn't realize the crews and modern day Mafia are run by Tony's gen, slightly younger and things had CHANGED since he'd been in. RICO cases, feds and all the types of business they had to conduct and how were modified to protect and insulate those at the top from the mistakes of their predecessors.
He was a loose cannon who just didn't f'ing listen.
Let's not pretend Tony was a fair boss, or that criminals make fair bosses in general. He only promoted family or easily manipulated nobodies like Gigi.
Whatever Richie was getting without side drug thing was all he was going to get from Tony. And after twontyyearsinthecannopeep that was an insulting pittance.
If there's anything you can do for me, let me know.
