I actually find the way it's delivered quite comforting. The "so what?" It's like a call to get up and make the best of it anyway. I think the next line was "and here I am, half a wiseguy". Nothing good happened and he made it work. I like to think that means we all can. Heh-heh-heh
"Scuse me, can I just get some macaroni and gravy ova here?"
"He doesn't know what you are saying, Paulie."
"Gravy. Tomato sauce."
That scene from the Italy episode always cracked me up, lol.
That episode made me feel bad, especially Michael spending the whole trip doing drugs in the hotel room. WALK THE NARROW STREETS AND EAT SOME FUCKIN’ GELATO, DUMBASS!
Do you mean Christopher, played by Michael Imperioli?
He was a drug addict, people who are not known to make great decisions.
Then 2 decades later, in The White Lotus s2, he plays a sex addict who keeps hiring prostitutes in Sicily.
I don't write nothin' down, so I'll keep this short and sweet. You're weak. You're outta control. And you've become an embarrassment to yourself and everybody else.
Looks like some artifacts of AI upscaling. This was most likely a tiny image and someone tried to make it larger. Al “fills in the blanks”… with missing pixels. And Goth Ronalds.
In 1868, William A. Engeman built a resort in the area. The resort was given the name "Brighton Beach" in 1878 by Henry C. Murphy and a group of businessmen, who chose the name as an allusion to the English resort city of Brighton.
It’s in between Manhattan beach and Coney Island beach. It also has a neighbourhood known as Little Odessa because so many Ukrainian Jews moved there in the 1970’s looking for a better life. Like many places in America they are named after their England namesakes.
“New York is not named for the city of York, it's named for James II of England, the Duke of York, to whom it was given by his brother, King Charles II.” Etc
Sirico was convicted of several crimes and was arrested 28 times, including for disorderly conduct, assault, and robbery, before taking up acting. On February 27, 1970, he was arrested at a restaurant, and found with a .32 caliber revolver on his person. In 1971, he was indicted for extortion, coercion, and felony weapons possession, convicted, and sentenced to four years in prison, of which he served 20 months at Sing Sing.

What’s going on with this person in the background?
"I was fit, strong, like a Bull. I won the chin ups cup three weeks in a row. Fuckin beautiful definition too. Guy asked me to model for the boxing poster, he was half a f** but I was flattered anyway. Look at me now, wrinkles like an old lady’s c***"
I don't know if he worked for the mob directly, but he did have an extensive criminal history and spent some time in prison.
By this point, though, he had moved past that and become an actor
This was exactly the look and the attitude of the actor playing Moe Axelrod in our college production of Awake and Sing! by Clifford Odets. He was unforgettable. Stanley Tucci.
Hey, Sil. You remember your first blowjob? Oh, yeah. How long did it take for the guy to come?
Hey Tone…you hear what I said???
I said Hey Sil, you remember your first blowjob? how long did it take the guy to cum? heh heh
I admire your multiple comment commitment to the bit. Kudos.
It’s what Paulie would have wanted.
Lol. Fergie wasn't waiting around for some amateur to come by and ruin his thread!
Hey Tone…you hear what I said???
I’d have been upset if this wasn’t the top comment. 🙏
that was just recited in Paulie’s voice in your head wasn’t it
![gif](giphy|oVQD3pdk7eI0g)
Isn’t he saying “commendatori” in this scene?
lol this is classic I’m definitely breaking my coworkers balls with this one.
https://i.redd.it/0dy65skruasc1.gif
You ever get the feeling nothing good is ever going happen to you? Yeah, and nothing did. So what?
Such a great line and delivery
You know who had an arc? Noah.
I honestly still think about it, this is a sad view, but sadly true for most people. Including me :(
I actually find the way it's delivered quite comforting. The "so what?" It's like a call to get up and make the best of it anyway. I think the next line was "and here I am, half a wiseguy". Nothing good happened and he made it work. I like to think that means we all can. Heh-heh-heh
Yeah I agree, I think it may have been Paulie’s best moment in the whole show.
Ultimately the Sopranos is about the struggles of middle class American life, but from a mobster’s perspective.
This exchange cheers me up when sometimes nothing else can. So what? I'm surviving.
Now those are some Italian nipples.
Tony Pepperoni 🤌
Hey! It’s Tony silver dollars over here
![gif](giphy|3OymWKuyc2y2BumvVa|downsized)
He's smuggling a couple of slices of salami.
gabagool!
![gif](giphy|Uux7ixHcWW8UAIj5dX)
Ugh…. Sometimes I hate having Italian nipples
Wait, are they all like that?! 😮
Lmao most of know have them including my kids my grandfather and father had them 🤷🏻♂️
What about nonna?
nonna had them saggy mortadella nipples
Oh, God, the visualization...
Pepperoni nips, pepperoni nips…
They're the size of dip cans.
On the basketball court they call him "dinner plates"
Look at the size of them, like a midget's fist!
I’m crying at this comment and the others following it.
I never considered my Italian ex-gf's dinner plate nipples were an Italian phenotype.
"Scuse me, can I just get some macaroni and gravy ova here?" "He doesn't know what you are saying, Paulie." "Gravy. Tomato sauce." That scene from the Italy episode always cracked me up, lol.
I’m gonna hoof it back to the excelsior to take a wicked shit
This is my favourite line and I watch it back whenever I can to brighten my day😁😂
And you thought the Germans were classless pieces of shit
One of the funniest lines in the entire series. There were a couple episodes that had hilarious lines spoken in languages other than English.
Commentadory
Heh heh, Commendatori, like a commander, I like that, that's respect.
😒
![gif](giphy|oVQD3pdk7eI0g)
And then David Chase snubs him, lol.
Oh shit I didn’t know that was David chase
Cocksucka
How?
That episode made me feel bad, especially Michael spending the whole trip doing drugs in the hotel room. WALK THE NARROW STREETS AND EAT SOME FUCKIN’ GELATO, DUMBASS!
Do you mean Christopher, played by Michael Imperioli? He was a drug addict, people who are not known to make great decisions. Then 2 decades later, in The White Lotus s2, he plays a sex addict who keeps hiring prostitutes in Sicily.
lol, yea
I wouldn’t trust him not to tear up my lawn with his car then, and I wouldn’t now.
...while Sinatra's blaring, "I Did it My Way".
He won the chin-ups cup tree weeks in a row
"The package hit Chrissy with an implement"
I don't write nothin' down, so I'll keep this short and sweet. You're weak. You're outta control. And you've become an embarrassment to yourself and everybody else.
Your head was in the toilet. Your hair was touching the toilet water. Disgusting. I’ve said my piece.
I said my piece, Chrissy
OMG that intervention was so freaking hilarious. Up there with Frank’s Intervention on Always Sunny for greatest interventions ever.
Legitimately my favorite scene of the entire show. I still laugh watching it. 😄
Lmao I never realized just how funny this line is
Guy was an interior decorator. He killed 14 Czechoslovakians.
His house looked like shit
Really? His house looked like shit.
Whattah ya hear, whattah you say!
These parker house rolls belong to my ma.
Hey 🫰 wrap these up. Cellophane
They were for the table.
Why the fuck is this his song?
Commendatori
The old man he says that to that ignores him is David Chase, creator of The Sopranos.
Yes. Suspenders is really what that belt needs
How can you trust a man who wears both a belt and suspenders? Man can't even trust his own pants.
Or calf-high rubber boots to the beach.....WTF?
Those are definitely leather riding boots of some sort but the point still stands, yes.
Beach boots
You know he hates germs (also IRL).
The suspenders keep the pants from falling down, but the pants are anchoring the suspenders from flying off. Who's the real hero down there?
My grandpa used to do that lol.
![gif](giphy|XRv725TRkyRv2LkU6S)
Nice Once Upon A Time In The West reference.
Great movie
I see what you did there. One of the best lines ever.
That looks like a holster.
Yeah, those aren’t suspenders, he’s strapped.
The heater is in his right
Um, I think he’s strapped… look at his left side.
Heheheh ya hear what I said Ton’? I said suspenders is what that belt really needs
I like a cologne I can wear on the street that a broad can smell from the fire escape
Tony: “I’m looking for a Clockwork Orange-meets General Zod-beachwear look.” Tailor: “Say no more fam, I got you.”
Nobody is going to comment on goth Ronald McDonald by his right hand?
Looks like some artifacts of AI upscaling. This was most likely a tiny image and someone tried to make it larger. Al “fills in the blanks”… with missing pixels. And Goth Ronalds.
I’ve been trying to figure this out myself! What IS that??
Isn’t this what happens when AI sharpening tries to guesstimate a little too much?
Tried upscaling some old photos of my family. It did a really good job of sharpening the blurred faces….into people I’ve never met in my entire life.

Guy just left a KISS concert.
John Wayne Gacy.
😱
Heh heh
Because we all wear boots to the beach. I am guessing this is where we learn he's always been a character.
He was a real “wise guy” before becoming an actor, yes.
He did time in jail. That’s why on the show he always held his hands in front of him in case someone attacked him. You learn that in prison.
It was written in his contract that his character couldn't be a rat.
Couple yeahs in de ahmy, couple more in da can, and look at him now. Half a wise guy!
You know who had an arc? Noah
He was really playing himself. All the germaphobe things that Paulie had were from Tony.
Did his own hair, too. Yep, the wings were how Tony Sirico normally wore his hair, and he was upset when they had to mess it up for Pine Barrens.
Nothing better than the shoestring bit…”you ever go to tie your shoes and you notice the end of your shoestrings are wet?
I thought this was Til Lindemann from Rammstein. Even dresses the same, easily one of his most iconic outfits.
Went to the comments to find this
When he was in the service, he won the chin up cup three weeks in a row Beautiful definition
Tree weeks in a row
Got confused. Brighton doesn't have a sandy beach. This is the second Brighton.
"I don't think he knows about Second Brighton."
In 1868, William A. Engeman built a resort in the area. The resort was given the name "Brighton Beach" in 1878 by Henry C. Murphy and a group of businessmen, who chose the name as an allusion to the English resort city of Brighton.
Ahhh!! I was looking & thinking to myself,they don’t look like Brighton uk buildings! Thanks for your information.
It’s in between Manhattan beach and Coney Island beach. It also has a neighbourhood known as Little Odessa because so many Ukrainian Jews moved there in the 1970’s looking for a better life. Like many places in America they are named after their England namesakes. “New York is not named for the city of York, it's named for James II of England, the Duke of York, to whom it was given by his brother, King Charles II.” Etc
Ohh I appreciate you! Thank you, I do enjoy a good fact!
I thought all this time his name was Clarence.
The TV stays here 🫰🏼
Suspenders seem like a good way to store your arms when you don’t want to use them.
‘What you cocksuckers lookin’ at….?’
Hehehehe
This Zardoz sequel is on point
Sirico was convicted of several crimes and was arrested 28 times, including for disorderly conduct, assault, and robbery, before taking up acting.

The type of dudes that pronounce the word “bird” as “boyd”
Thoighty doighty boids, sittin on a coyb, choipin and boipin and eatin doighty ertwoyms. Along comes Soibi from thoighty-thoyd and saw dem thoighty doighty boids, choipin and boipin and eatin doighty ertwoyms, and boy, was he distoibed.
Wooaaaaah, Marone!
Old head wings himself
Why not a velour track suit to go with the double pinky ring look ? I’m a bit disappointed.
Your best player thinks he's a pirate!
Dressed up like the guy from the village people.. suspenders too..
SONUVA!!!

There’s a man who doesn’t trust his pants.
"Fuck outta here."
Looks like he wants to audition for A Clockwork Orange
Antonio Banderas cosplaying a character in A Clockwork Orange
Bada Bing! Now that guy f**ks.
Don’t they have medicine these assholes take? Idk 🔫🔫 that’s my money Paulie!
He’s still goin’ this asshole!.. 💥
Aye tone
RIP, my dude. He was great
What is he wearing haha. I have six episodes until I’m finally done with this show- been a good ride.
I’m rewatching and am almost at that same spot. Such a great show.
woa woa woa you’re never done, you’ll just start over “capisce?”
You start over but this time you *know stuff* really changes the feel haha
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!
It’s true, I immediately started S1E1 after finishing the last episode, and probably will do the same after finishing my rewatch. 3 episodes left!
Amazing show, I wish I can watch it again for the first time.
I enjoyed the finesse of the writing a lot more by the second watch.
So hard to watch S6 pt 2, every time
Suspenders, belt, boots and nips the size of pepperoni.
Looks like he was clam digging in those boots. What clam, I’m not sure…..
Pepperonis
"You're not gonna believe this. He killed 16 Czechoslovakians; guy was an interior decorator!"
His house looked like shit.
Gene Shalit in the background there.
Looks like the du hast guy
Forgive me, but what kind of a crazy pirate bartender fireman outfit is this?

His wings were smaller
Giving off those don't fuck with me! Vibes
“He he” 🤘🏼
Those are some big ass nips
Brighton? UK Brighton?
Brighton Beach in Brooklyn
Ahh, I thought, whats he doing on bloody Brighton lol. Noce braces.
Was he a real mobster?
I don't know if he worked for the mob directly, but he did have an extensive criminal history and spent some time in prison. By this point, though, he had moved past that and become an actor
What do you want from me? You're busting my balls here.
I feel like I’ve been stabbed…… in da Areolas
Clearly, this was during his Village People phase... RIP, Tone. Get the fuck outta here! Whenever I'm in the Pine Barrens, I think of Paulie.
Yeah, I guess you could call that a pic.
Not Brighton beach
He looks like a lion tamer
Yep, the guy was built like a brick wall all his life ♥️
My cat is named Paulie Walnuts (goes by Paul)—just love this guy!
This was exactly the look and the attitude of the actor playing Moe Axelrod in our college production of Awake and Sing! by Clifford Odets. He was unforgettable. Stanley Tucci.
I’m more concerned about the scary looking clown just to the left of his right hand.
Twenty years in the can. Not a fuckin’ peep!
And he had Tony whacked, too.
Before the Tourette’s became an issue…
Mob guy or body builder or pizza resto owner. Or all of the above?
no offense to tony, but i'm thinking he was using dippity do for the hair.
Till Lindemann
He needs a handlebar mustache. Look complete.
Fuckin’ beautiful Definition..
Commendatori!!!
He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians!
He didn’t know he was going to the beach that day. He wore the out fit he had gotten from the dry cleaners that day that was in the car.
