Carmine definitely was the best boss on the show he was level-headed and calm made smart decisions. Tony was a terrible boss who made bad decisions and beat up and killed his own men
If I were a mobster...I prefer work for ( in this order ) Carmine Sr, Jackie Aprile Sr, Johnny Sack and finally Carmine Jr. With Tony (and Junior) , like Albert said, you can't be sure to be killed for wearing wrong shoes even if you are a big earner. I said my piece!
If Carmine had given the go on Ralphie, due to respect of John's wife, that's justifiable, but still. Paulie betrayed Tony with the joke, John had the right to kill Ralphie
Carmine and based on the what we saw Jackie Aprile senior and Annalisa Zuca. Tony just like Phil Leotardo and Johnny Sack often let his emotions and personal vices cloud his judgements, he comes third at best (let us not forget the number of made men he killed/had killed). Juniors main problem was that he was too greedy and from another time, he did give Tony often good advice.
Jackie was a WAY better boss than Tony. We didn’t see much of him, sure, but not a single soldier had anything bad to say about him. This show is literally about the downfall of the mob, Tony himself, and the DiMeo Family. It all started going downhill the second Tony took the helm.
Jackie Aprile was only the acting boss for Ercoli Dimeo, he was well liked and respected, but we don’t have enough information to adequately say that he’s the best. Carmine overall was the most effective and level headed, considering what was happening around him.
Hey just found your channel. I'm an aging Sopranos Super Fan but I've gotten tired of the the countless dissections. I really enjoyed this one, you put a lot of work into it! Thank you, I'm subbed. We should have a vote and see who wins that would be fun! But who's left lol? I vote for Angie Bonpensiero!
Remember when Jonny Sacks wanted Ralph wacked for making that joke about his wife. And Carmine basically told him to get the fuck over it. That guy makes us too much money. 😂 Carmine was the best boss. Everyone else had let personal issues cloud there judgment.
I’d say sack is third best because he threatened to go to war over Ralph and Blundetto, he wouldn’t even let Tony handle the issue with his cousin when sack thought that Tony was hiding him (which he wasn’t at the time since he didn’t know where blundetto was)
Theres an old military saying that you get promoted to your least level of incompetence. Silvio proves this by not handling the top job temporarily, Chrissy also buckled once he was made, turning to H
Sacrimoni was a very good boss idk WTF you're talking about TBH. for one thing, john used Paulie as a tool to gain inside information and did in fact successfully gain info that enriched the family. The esplanade for example. The property flipping that tony kept from them. He had to cut them in. Also john never meant to keep playing paulie long term. If paulies insdier info was that important then hed have mentioned him to Carmine. He never gained information that directly and solely benefited himself personally. the entire family benefitted by gaining points that wouldve gone under the radar. Paulie however was less and less valuable to john as he lost status or trust gradually and it became apparent to john as paulie blabbed and complained about that fact. Had Carmine lived, hed have gone down with John because the imformant was a powerful old time capo who had tons of knowledge on and was given orders directly by Carmine (it wasnt shown in the show but as a capo you always deal directly with the boss) 20 years as an informant and "it wouldve reached all the way to carmine sr had he survived".
10:51 = Plot armor kept him alive more than his abilities. Remember how the feds planted a mic into the lamp that Meadow decided to take with her to NY? Or how Boyz2men managed to shoot an orange bottle and a small piece of Tony's ear? Sheer luck kept Tony in it.
As far as all these bosses, they all had big flaws, and were undermined by them. Tony was often moody and petty and led by self-indulgence. Junior was petty and ruled by his pride. Carmine Sr. was arrogant and greedy towards even his underlings, Phil was a violent psycho driven by resentment, and Johnny Sack was often a hypoctrite. But they all has these problems to one degree or another. Honestly the only one who seemed to have HER shit together was Annalisa Zucca in Italy. Serious and yet pragmatic, highly educated but traditional, loyal to her family and respected by her other family. She never shows the least sort of character flaw, perhaps because Italy is a harder meaner place when it comes to gangsters, and the reazor sharp mentality needed for deadly intrigues there goes back all the way to ancient Rome. Category-wise, some are real bosses, others just temps & pretenders who were never there long enough to really be in charge. Even the bad boss qualities of these guys notwithstanding, even the figurehead boss/underboss relationship, these are actual bosses in the show: Tony, Johnny Sack, Uncle Junior, Carmine Sr., Phil Leotardo, Jackie Aprile Sr. (Syl was a temporary caretaker, Santoro for example, was a pretender who never consolidated it, and Carmine Jr. was contender never really in the big seat. )
Their can be the only one "Junior Soprano" The real King of King !!! i don't think he had been trick by Tony , But the love for his family that made him do what he did !!!!
I Think tony wouldve been the best boss without his temper(even tho beating up that driver guy was probably the right move). But the way he lashed out on Carlo in the car was probably the reason why carlo flipped. Also tony being such a raging prick to other guys too made people to not like him. And johnny sack was a pretty good boss too, but there was one option with the ralphie situation that he couldve suggested. Why not just put the beef with ralphie on the backburner for now, and then when the esplanad project is done, then he can take his revenge. I think tony wouldve agreed to that.
Cannot be, tony was able to manipulate and get the best from her, exposing her weakness and Tony's strength in battle. She was very 2D and was a boss in an old culture that was paved by her father if I remember clearly
Carmine Senior was the best boss. Mostly on the bottom line, emotions aside.. mostly. Except that time he was golfing with Carmine Jr and Johnny Sack. Whatever happened there..

Mine too
Carmine definitely was the best boss on the show he was level-headed and calm made smart decisions. Tony was a terrible boss who made bad decisions and beat up and killed his own men
Im a make my prediction. I say its Carmine Sr. He ran a tight respectful crew who was about squashing beefs and bringing everyone together as earners.
He did, I agree, was a great boss, Tony was different, but just as effective, still can't compare New York to Jersey
@@NateG219thats because Jersey is a glorified crew
Yep before watching
Jackie aprlle wasn’t on screen enough but seemed competent for such a young man
If I were a mobster...I prefer work for ( in this order ) Carmine Sr, Jackie Aprile Sr, Johnny Sack and finally Carmine Jr.
With Tony (and Junior) , like Albert said, you can't be sure to be killed for wearing wrong shoes even if you are a big earner.
I said my piece!
Agree! The Sopranos were way too insecure and emotional (though I loved their characters).
With brainless the second?!
"A Don never wears shorts"..
I always thought Georgie would be a varsity Don.
😂😂😂
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
If Carmine had given the go on Ralphie, due to respect of John's wife, that's justifiable, but still. Paulie betrayed Tony with the joke, John had the right to kill Ralphie
Ralph sleeps with Ginny?
@@vanovhs no, to kill Ralphie, like it would've been handled in the old days
I'm kidding, man. This is a joke from the Sopranos. By the way, you got an interesting channel, I checked it out
@@vanovhs swoosh
@@vanovhs hell yeah, thanks man, I'm trying to get more out there
Great video! I didn't even doubt that Carmine Lupertazzi would be in first place
Glad you liked it!
Sack was smart but he made Tony look cool and level headed.
No the opposite
Interesting take. I have to completely disagree though. Sacrimoni was cool, calm and collected.
What’s this the fukkking UN now?
@RobertEdwinHouse9 sa thepranos
Can you rank top 10 capos from the series in a video?
Sure, this is a brilliant idea!
In this house I'm the best boss - end of story !!! P. S. Thanks for your efforts lad , Sopranos's my favorite show ...
Carmine and based on the what we saw Jackie Aprile senior and Annalisa Zuca. Tony just like Phil Leotardo and Johnny Sack often let his emotions and personal vices cloud his judgements, he comes third at best (let us not forget the number of made men he killed/had killed). Juniors main problem was that he was too greedy and from another time, he did give Tony often good advice.
Johnny sack is and always will be my favorite character in any tv show movie or book ever 😊
❤❤❤ 💯 agree
I have to say Annalisa was one hell of a boss. And she was damn beautiful!
As far as the main characters go. I have to say Carmine was the best.
She left turn side furio, a marine and maybe the best soldier the Tony had
Fun fact: The actor who played Carmine Sr. was the real life Tony Lip, from the movie The Green Book.
Tony’s willingness to confront his demons using mental health sources outside the mafia makes him the best leader overall
I bet it's Dumbest the Second - the sacred and the propane criminal mastermind... Keep the great content coming Vano 👌 👏 👍
Whatever happened there!
@@vanovhs whatever happened there ?????
“Retard the 2nd” to be exact 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jackie was a WAY better boss than Tony. We didn’t see much of him, sure, but not a single soldier had anything bad to say about him. This show is literally about the downfall of the mob, Tony himself, and the DiMeo Family. It all started going downhill the second Tony took the helm.
My top 3 - Tony Soprano Sr., Carmine Sr., The Count Chokula
I like how you pronounced Moltisanti Multiesaaaaanteeeeee
I would make a great boss. But until that happens, it will be hard to verify whether or not I think I would make a great boss.
Enzo The Baker
Yeah but he'd need an extra guy to light his ciggies...
@@TooLooze it was all an act, remember he defiantly pissed on them, you don't mess with Enzo The Baker
11:31 Now there’s an image
Johnny Boy was a keen M-Fer. Who wore Canute & And a Cy Dufor Suit w/a 2" lapel. That Was That
Jersey? Come on, huh
No matter what, Jackie O'preal was the best boss, or if you're Wise enough to, Olivia was
Jackie Aprile was only the acting boss for Ercoli Dimeo, he was well liked and respected, but we don’t have enough information to adequately say that he’s the best. Carmine overall was the most effective and level headed, considering what was happening around him.
Good ol’ Irish boy Jack O’Preal
@@robert9016😂😂😂
Has to be Phil. I mean, he made the best grilled cheese and was so boss, he morphed into a house!
Hey just found your channel. I'm an aging Sopranos Super Fan but I've gotten tired of the the countless dissections. I really enjoyed this one, you put a lot of work into it! Thank you, I'm subbed. We should have a vote and see who wins that would be fun! But who's left lol? I vote for Angie Bonpensiero!
I say Carmine senior!! He's got that Boss man swagg
carmine Sr obviously
Remember when Jonny Sacks wanted Ralph wacked for making that joke about his wife.
And Carmine basically told him to get the fuck over it. That guy makes us too much money. 😂
Carmine was the best boss. Everyone else had let personal issues cloud there judgment.
Carmine was easy the best boss sack was the second Tony was the third and junior was the fourth
I’d say sack is third best because he threatened to go to war over Ralph and Blundetto, he wouldn’t even let Tony handle the issue with his cousin when sack thought that Tony was hiding him (which he wasn’t at the time since he didn’t know where blundetto was)
Doc fucked up by not taking out Phil too.
Why did you skip Benny Fazio ?????? He's the criminal mastermind after all .....
Young and tall and tan and lovely 😂😂
“The coffee with the fvckin’ chickory” 🤣🤣🤣
Theres an old military saying that you get promoted to your least level of incompetence. Silvio proves this by not handling the top job temporarily, Chrissy also buckled once he was made, turning to H
Jackie aprile
Carmine Sr hands down. When he died NY fell apart
I don't care what you say, TONY. IS. THE. BEST.
The boot or old man demeo might be the best boss even in prison he welded power
A great show filled with great actors rip tony
Carmine
Wait… how many years was Phil in the can? I can’t remember 😉
Phil is the best boss. He’s a man - he did 20 years 😂😂😂
Gerry "The Hairdo" Torchiano
Brilliant acting. I'm the one that calls the shots line.... How could I come out anymore authentic
Sacrimoni was a very good boss idk WTF you're talking about TBH. for one thing, john used Paulie as a tool to gain inside information and did in fact successfully gain info that enriched the family.

Doc Santoro was a good boss. For like 3 days.😮
😂😂😂
Ginny Sack Was A Twerking Belly Dancer.😮😊
10:51 = Plot armor kept him alive more than his abilities. Remember how the feds planted a mic into the lamp that Meadow decided to take with her to NY? Or how Boyz2men managed to shoot an orange bottle and a small piece of Tony's ear? Sheer luck kept Tony in it.
According to the end of sopranos paulie and butch are the bosses now until they passed away 😢R I P guyd
Trivia: The actor that played Carmine Lupertazzi was the actual driver in real life that the movie The Green Book is based on.
Jr soprano was my favorite I don’t think he was the best boss I just love the way his character was written 🔥🔥
Stop yelling at me......
I miss this show
Idk why but the narrator is penetrating this down our throats (no Diddy)
Wait when did Johnny stack okay hit on Ralph
?he wasn’t a Boss so he couldn’t okay anything ,
As he was a boss its carmine job to okay any hit
You forgot one boss, hardly worth mentioning but Doc Santoro was boss for like a day
Phil Leotardo was totally fearless.
As far as all these bosses, they all had big flaws, and were undermined by them. Tony was often moody and petty and led by self-indulgence. Junior was petty and ruled by his pride. Carmine Sr. was arrogant and greedy towards even his underlings, Phil was a violent psycho driven by resentment, and Johnny Sack was often a hypoctrite. But they all has these problems to one degree or another.
Honestly the only one who seemed to have HER shit together was Annalisa Zucca in Italy. Serious and yet pragmatic, highly educated but traditional, loyal to her family and respected by her other family. She never shows the least sort of character flaw, perhaps because Italy is a harder meaner place when it comes to gangsters, and the reazor sharp mentality needed for deadly intrigues there goes back all the way to ancient Rome.
Category-wise, some are real bosses, others just temps & pretenders who were never there long enough to really be in charge.
Even the bad boss qualities of these guys notwithstanding, even the figurehead boss/underboss relationship, these are actual bosses in the show: Tony, Johnny Sack, Uncle Junior, Carmine Sr., Phil Leotardo, Jackie Aprile Sr.
(Syl was a temporary caretaker, Santoro for example, was a pretender who never consolidated it, and Carmine Jr. was contender never really in the big seat. )
Carmine was the best boss
Their can be the only one "Junior Soprano" The real King of King !!! i don't think he had been trick by Tony , But the love for his family that made him do what he did !!!!
The answer is Carmine Sr and it's not remotely close
🚨 Spoiler alert 🚨 #1 is Lorraine Calluzzo with the islander tickets
Hey, help a guy out here. How long was Phil Leotardo in the can again?
The only one to say is Carmine Sr. He is the only truly good boss in the show
What about Bobby he was great Underboss for Tony?
I Think tony wouldve been the best boss without his temper(even tho beating up that driver guy was probably the right move). But the way he lashed out on Carlo in the car was probably the reason why carlo flipped.
Also tony being such a raging prick to other guys too made people to not like him.
And johnny sack was a pretty good boss too, but there was one option with the ralphie situation that he couldve suggested. Why not just put the beef with ralphie on the backburner for now, and then when the esplanad project is done, then he can take his revenge. I think tony wouldve agreed to that.
I liked Tony but I think Jackie Aprile would be the best bet
David Chase should play Paul ricca if ever a movie was made about a real boss
I guess we'll never find out how many years Phil did in the can.
You never admit the existence of this thing
George Washeengtin bridge 🫳🏼
It's the woman from Sicily
Cannot be, tony was able to manipulate and get the best from her, exposing her weakness and Tony's strength in battle. She was very 2D and was a boss in an old culture that was paved by her father if I remember clearly
being the rhodes scholar i yam, it took me till this video to realize the narrator is ai.
Jr was a second boy Johnnie was a man and he knew it 😮
Johnny Boy was a keen m-fer. Who wore Canute & Cy DuFor suits w/a 2" lapel. That was That
Not Tony? Yeah, no shit. He was a terrible boss.
Jr neve was the boss thay put him up front to take the hits and help to protect tony
Tony should have been a great boss, but his greed and narcissism ruined the day. He was also blind to EVERY soprano Captain being a rat.
I would say none of them are the best boss… They all suck and are a bunch of losers 💯👍
Carmine Sr.
Hands down!
Big Carmine
As much as I hate to say this I think it's Phil lol
The old bull
Jackie
4:39
Juror was real LCN…..I said my piece 😏
Carmine Senior was the best boss. Mostly on the bottom line, emotions aside.. mostly. Except that time he was golfing with Carmine Jr and Johnny Sack. Whatever happened there..
Johnny Sack was the best boss hands down
20 years in the can made him beter
What? Well itsurely didn't matter in Tony's favor.. the only reason why he wasn't dead was cuz they botched it
20 years in the can
Carmine did the worst thing he could ever do. He flipped and was a rat. Whatever happened there.
Did an AI voice this? Man is it grating
"Shocking"? Tony was one of the worst bosses in the show.
Tony Was The Best.. idc what this video says
Jackie was better than Tony
Carmine was the best one.
Tony better boss than Jackie? Not that stronzo. Not in this life.
Jackie was the best
