The older I get, I realize there will never be another show such as this one. This "best moments" made me realize what a masterpiece this series was. The actors were brilliantly cast, and the writers....god bless them! We can only dream that something will again be written so well, and portrayed on the screen like this series.
i don't get how this show can be both a masterclass of drama and suspense but also be so FUNNY. paulie and silvio in particular are practically cartoon characters and still somehow completely sell it when theyre deadly serious. truly one of a kind
The part in season 1 where Paulie is more bothered by poison oak causing him to itch than the chase him and Christopher just ensued. He was so annoyed rather than just shooting rusty once he just unloads his entire clip into him 😂
@@Erestanfeo stupid question but i can't remember. why did he give him the fish like what happened that had chris so on edge thinking paulie was going to make a move on him but he instead gives him the fish
5:20 there’s really nothing better than those spontaneous moments of bonding/just hanging out with your dad. Genuinely making you feel like a real person that he wants to be around and not just his little kid ❤️
As a fellow fat dude I appreciated when tony went back for it. The food waste inthis show, the food fights, pies in the face, carm throwing out the pasta for the priest, the ziti from Bobby's late wife,(that one I understand), Tony dumping aj's cereal. The list goes on. But again tony grabbing the pizza is such a fat guy move, respect
Having just finished the show, it's crazy seeing season 1 scenes where Tony is a little more light hearted and less stressed out and Junior is there-all-the-way and actually feels like a guy in charge with power. Livia is the best antagonist too btw.
@@tonylovesducks2501 looking back in retrospect, I do actually. It's the art of film/tv making. Little subtleties. As Tony's life gets more and more stressful and dangerous, his world gets darker
@@jacklempke7779 I was actually disappointed when she died because she was such a great antagonist. Yeah she was just an old lady but her power was in her ability to manipulate people and put on an act that she was helpless and couldn't be a threat to anyone. She was supposedly supposed to testify against Tony in season 3 and while s3's plotlines were great, I would've LOVED a slow burn plot over multiple seasons where Livia is the puppet master manipulating the events of the show over time. For example, instead of Paulie, she could've somehow been the one to get the word to Johnny Sack about the joke about his wife. She would've been a great asset to the Lupertazzi family had she lived until s6 and Tony somehow won the case in which she would've testified against him. The show was incredible the way it was, but had the actress for Livia never died, I wonder what we wouldve gotten. Probably the greatest TV antagonist of all time
@@theelightbearer4254 I think the fact that we each have such strong opinions about her performance is a testament to the actress and how well she played the role. Well said!
“I had a semester and a half of college, so I understand Freud and the concept of therapy” absolutely hilarious and perfectly encapsulates people who think higher education is so trivial
@@bryanadkins2944 well not everyone has to get such a targeted degree. Look at how divided our country has become over topics such as public health, media literacy, critical thinking, history, conspiracy theories, etc. We clearly have an education problem.
Sopranos was amazing Gandolfini was brilliant as Tony .Seeing Tony Soprano gradually become darker and unable to stop the dark and darker decent down the road of all the mobster before him was captivating and realistic for me its ranked very high on one of the best TV shows of all time. Watching it again reminds me how great everyone was on Sopranos!

@@dawnguard6472 I agree mate 👍I am 40 it's captivating and realistic what I really enjoyed about the program is that Gandolfini and the cast made so realistic sometimes ,it would feel as if you just were witnessing true events that's to say it could been real .
@@stanleydubois7117 yes. Sure on the ‘Talking Sopranos’ podcast they mentioned that the real mob thought they were under surveillance and tipped off the writers as it was so realistic. Great listen if you’ve not - the last episode with David Chase is a must watch.

It's not as bad as you think, I was drunk one night and tried to spray some ants and the can was pointed at my face, my eyes were swollen for a couple of days but nothing too bad!!! And no I wasn't wearing socks!!!

With the way the ending of the series was there was always a remote slim chance they'd be back but after James G passed in real life it can't happen but I don't think I'll ever tire of it. I can't believe its been 15 years since it ended. Thanks again.
When I was younger I really didn't have the right mentality to appreciate this show, but now...😙🤌One of THE best shows ever made. Amazing writing and acting.
Exactly it came out whole I was in high school but it wasn't until the later seasons that I went back and truly enjoyed the earlier seasons to watch in order
I grew up in north New Jersey and it was insane to watch people that nailed the cadences and language. It was shot mostly on site - which is insanely trippy to experience
I was about 15 when the last episode aired. I didn't watch the show until a few years later, but I can remember my parents watching it every week. And I'll never forget the ending of the last episode. I heard the Journey song playing through the speakers as I walked by the living room, so I stopped in to watch for a minute. I wasn't familiar with the story. I had seen a few funny scenes here and there, and I had heard a little about the story throughout the years; so the significance of the events happening in relation to the story was lost on me but the tension of the scene was universal. I was glued to the screen, and then when it cut to black, all three of us said "Hey!" in unison. My parents thought the direct tv(or whatever service it was) had gone out. My pops stood up to get the remote and see if it could be fixed and then it happened. The credits started rolling. My Mom said she wasn't sure how she felt about it. I said something about cliffhangers or next season and she said "Nope, that's the end. Maybe they are going to make a movie." And my Pops, who had been standing in silence looked at my Mom amd just said "Cancel HBO." Hahahahaha, good laughs any time I think about it. R.I.P. Pop. He actually was the Gary Cooper strong and silent type. Grew up on a farm in a life as far from NY/NJ as possible. My Mom is from Brooklyn. Got the best of both worlds. All ya'll folks out there, keep it classy, and stay frosty. Keep your hips loose and your head on a swivel.
This is by far the most wholesome and well written comment I’ve probably ever read thank you so much for sharing that for some reason or another it gave me a lot of nostalgia I was 13 when the last episode aired and my parents watched it as well …they had me in their teens but now that I think back to it they were indeed very mature and advanced mentally for their age…I miss the early 2000s what a time.
Yeah, and his deadpan "She gave me my first hand-job..." "Oh, wait, what am I saying at this woman's wake...?" Ah, fond remembrances... A man never forgets his first!
Apparently the guy who played Bobby walked into the room holding a giant black dildo because they needed James to really crack up. And it worked as we saw
tony is like in heaven in season 1, and even the way the show was edited, the color schemes, everything was so bright but as the show progressed into the last season everything is so dark, and tony is a mess, he's depressed and depraved
Back in it's day, this was known as "The Greatest Show On Television" and James Gandolfini was known as "The Godfather Of Television." What in unbelievably incredible series, my favorite show to ever exist.
I actually preferred "The Sopranos" to Coppola's "Godfather" movie series. Tony's crew had more heart, and a sense of humor. There's a reason that show has the fan following that it does today, even after it finished. All the ducks were in a row. Script writing, directing, casting, acting, all top notch. Not one bad episode in the entire run. How many TV series can boast having not one crap or "filler" episode? Never has there been a TV series like this one... and I'd say that the odds aren't good for ever seeing one like this again. "Sopranos" set the standard, for rough, gritty, yet at times side splittingly hilarious Italian-American 'family' relations! When it was rough, it was like a horseshoe rasp... but when it was time to bust balls? My god, those guys made me laugh!
@@curtisboswell2619 I completely agree with everything you said. Now that I think of it, I don't ever remember watching a crappy "filler" episode. Everything was always within the progression of the storyline and there was never a dull moment. Everything that happened in each episode was completely necessary and impeccable to the story. Pure brilliance and execution.
@@awonderfulfeeling8588 there were plenty of dull moments and fillers in Sopranos, like the family related stuff, especialy about Meadow and AJ. Only good scenes were Mafia stuff and Melfi scenes, and Occasionaly family stcenes - very rarely though
@@PolishGod1234 I wouldn't call them dull filler moments, they were there to show the ironic depth of love and humanity that a mob boss is capable of feeling, especially toward his family, along with his level of vulnerability regarding his mental health. Those were some of the main aspects of the show that set The Saprono's apart from every other mob show and movie. It brought into account that mobsters had actual lives to live and families to tend to outside of the mafia. It disected the notion that even ruthless mobsters have feelings, because they do indeed feel emotions like any other human being, no matter how heinous their actions may be. They may lack empathy, but at their human core, they still experience emotions nonetheless. It brought a very real and unique feeling to the show. I believe every moment that most people would consider "filler moments" were simply part of a bigger picture that most people weren't ready to acknowledge regarding the world of the mob. It painted a bigger picture, or rather shined some light on a larger idea, that most if not all other pieces of mobster entertainment failed to address. That's not to say that any of the other mob shows or movies weren't absolute masterpieces, but frankly, they were pretty much always the same idea with the same depth of thinking. The Saprono's set itself apart with plenty of these necessary moments that most people would call "filler" moments. It told a bigger story and I found it to be very interesting and unique to the world of the mafia. You truly have to have a healthy level of empathy in order to feel sympathy for a mobster, and The Soprano's does a great job at taking into consideration, that even people who are in the mafia, just like people who are trapped in the gang life, aren't always evil at their core. As hard as that may be to accept and understand. There's always a bigger picture, and The Saprono's does a great job at shedding light on it. If you're watching this show in hopes of getting that same classic mafia fix that you get from watching The Godfather or Goodfellas, you're in the wrong place. The Saprono's tells a bigger story, and if you didn't get the memo from the first season alone, then I don't know what to tell you. For God's sake, the very first scene in the very first episide, he's sitting in a shrinks office. This obviously isn't your classic shoot em up mobster movie, and it you found any of the family moments pointless, then this show is not for you. There's nothing wrong with the show, you're just expecting something different than what it's meant to offer. Plain and simple. People who bash this show fail to understand it completely.
This is one of the bes shows ever. I remember watching it with my family and friends. Every Sunday night we would all set together and eat popcorn watching Sopranos. The actors in this show were amazingly talented, and the writers were just as good. One of the beat episodes for me was when Chris and Paulie got lost in the woods with the Russian dude. It was defiantly the funniest episode in the series.
Just the fact that people still comment and show love to the sopranos only speaks to the impact this show had. I’m only 23, my dad said to watch it and oh boy I finally know why this is such a classic.
I've watched this show so much, all the way through and also clips on youtube and only now did it truly sink in, how good the fighting choreography is. It all looks hella real. No stunt doubles either, (as far as i can tell). Tony vs Ralphie and Tony vs Bobby Bacala was super intense and believable.
That first therapist Melfi went to with her family was hilarious. Always love seeing that guy on a rewatch. Wish he appeared more throughout the series.
It was funny, but the scene itself as a whole was heartbreaking. The only time we see Junior being genuinely happy was when he was with her, and after this it was all downhill.
It’s wild how insecure dudes were about going down on a woman. I remember this being a very real thing that if a guy gave his girl head, he was considered gay. Nowadays, those same dudes who would admonish giving head are now proud to eat ass. Lol
Sopranos was the first, and then there was a better wave with the likes of Breaking Bad and Vikings. 2022 smashes the shows that were better than Sopranos. It was the first, but certainly not the best.
@@stardaggerrihannsu2363 The Sopranos have opened the way for the other series you mentioned, especially Breaking Bad. Even Brian Cranston stated it : "Without Tony Soprano there would never have been Walter White."
The Sopranos ,The Wire & Bordwalk Empire and Mad Men , they were the best ones HBO made, The Sopranos and The Wire were the most realistic, still to be beat.
@@raymondsims7042 the wire was fantastic. It’s a matter of opinion. For my money it’s the Sopranos. The single most iconic figure ever is Tony. The rest is subjective. Wire was great.
@@michaelcavallacci2945 even what you’re saying about tony soprano is subjective. But I respect the opinion I just think the wire has a more profound message and more to say about the world, better plot lines, world building, characters, story arcs etc… I don’t think a show (and I’ve seen a lot) is close to the wire.The sopranos is certainly a masterpiece and I respect your opinion
Best TV Show ever, imo. The writing of this show and charracter development is phenomenal. And the acting is so good, acoss the board, with James Gandolfini as the best
Any man who calmly walks away after just planting a bomb but still be a law abiding citizen to stop at the crosswalk and look both ways before crossing the street is a great man

32:05 well deserved
This... Is not a football helmet.

I love Ralphie's grin as Paulie is setting up the insult at 26:06
🤣 3:30 Idk why but I found that funny as hell.
Silvio is this greatest character of all time btw
Ha I like chris

When I was younger I really didn't have the right mentality to appreciate this show, but now...😙🤌One of THE best shows ever made. Amazing writing and acting.
Exactly it came out whole I was in high school but it wasn't until the later seasons that I went back and truly enjoyed the earlier seasons to watch in order
AYYYY🤌🤌
I grew up in north New Jersey and it was insane to watch people that nailed the cadences and language. It was shot mostly on site - which is insanely trippy to experience
This compilation is as well-edited as the show. Thank you
I was about 15 when the last episode aired. I didn't watch the show until a few years later, but I can remember my parents watching it every week. And I'll never forget the ending of the last episode. I heard the Journey song playing through the speakers as I walked by the living room, so I stopped in to watch for a minute. I wasn't familiar with the story. I had seen a few funny scenes here and there, and I had heard a little about the story throughout the years; so the significance of the events happening in relation to the story was lost on me but the tension of the scene was universal. I was glued to the screen, and then when it cut to black, all three of us said "Hey!" in unison. My parents thought the direct tv(or whatever service it was) had gone out. My pops stood up to get the remote and see if it could be fixed and then it happened. The credits started rolling. My Mom said she wasn't sure how she felt about it. I said something about cliffhangers or next season and she said "Nope, that's the end. Maybe they are going to make a movie." And my Pops, who had been standing in silence looked at my Mom amd just said "Cancel HBO." Hahahahaha, good laughs any time I think about it. R.I.P. Pop. He actually was the Gary Cooper strong and silent type. Grew up on a farm in a life as far from NY/NJ as possible. My Mom is from Brooklyn. Got the best of both worlds. All ya'll folks out there, keep it classy, and stay frosty. Keep your hips loose and your head on a swivel.
This is by far the most wholesome and well written comment I’ve probably ever read thank you so much for sharing that for some reason or another it gave me a lot of nostalgia I was 13 when the last episode aired and my parents watched it as well …they had me in their teens but now that I think back to it they were indeed very mature and advanced mentally for their age…I miss the early 2000s what a time.

Yeah, and his deadpan "She gave me my first hand-job..." "Oh, wait, what am I saying at this woman's wake...?" Ah, fond remembrances... A man never forgets his first!
Apparently the guy who played Bobby walked into the room holding a giant black dildo because they needed James to really crack up. And it worked as we saw
Dominic’s trying so hard not to crack up
great recap of sopranos for those who have seen it a few times, gets the blood flowing and provides all the memories without watching them all again
The GOAT. There will never be another one like it. Thanks for posting this.
tony is like in heaven in season 1, and even the way the show was edited, the color schemes, everything was so bright but as the show progressed into the last season everything is so dark, and tony is a mess, he's depressed and depraved
Good take. Whole series is like a thesis on the loss of a soul.
Just like the rest of us, you get older and realize it’s all for naught
@@traviscoates6878 I don't like that kinda tawk
@@traviscoates6878 now jus stop it upsets me
@@traviscoates6878 i dont feel that way
Back in it's day, this was known as "The Greatest Show On Television" and James Gandolfini was known as "The Godfather Of Television." What in unbelievably incredible series, my favorite show to ever exist.
I actually preferred "The Sopranos" to Coppola's "Godfather" movie series. Tony's crew had more heart, and a sense of humor. There's a reason that show has the fan following that it does today, even after it finished. All the ducks were in a row. Script writing, directing, casting, acting, all top notch. Not one bad episode in the entire run. How many TV series can boast having not one crap or "filler" episode? Never has there been a TV series like this one... and I'd say that the odds aren't good for ever seeing one like this again. "Sopranos" set the standard, for rough, gritty, yet at times side splittingly hilarious Italian-American 'family' relations! When it was rough, it was like a horseshoe rasp... but when it was time to bust balls? My god, those guys made me laugh!
@@curtisboswell2619 I completely agree with everything you said. Now that I think of it, I don't ever remember watching a crappy "filler" episode. Everything was always within the progression of the storyline and there was never a dull moment. Everything that happened in each episode was completely necessary and impeccable to the story. Pure brilliance and execution.
@@curtisboswell2619 not one bad episode? Idk, the episode a "Hit is a Hit" and that episode about Jew not afraid of death kinda sucked
@@awonderfulfeeling8588 there were plenty of dull moments and fillers in Sopranos, like the family related stuff, especialy about Meadow and AJ. Only good scenes were Mafia stuff and Melfi scenes, and Occasionaly family stcenes - very rarely though
@@PolishGod1234 I wouldn't call them dull filler moments, they were there to show the ironic depth of love and humanity that a mob boss is capable of feeling, especially toward his family, along with his level of vulnerability regarding his mental health. Those were some of the main aspects of the show that set The Saprono's apart from every other mob show and movie. It brought into account that mobsters had actual lives to live and families to tend to outside of the mafia. It disected the notion that even ruthless mobsters have feelings, because they do indeed feel emotions like any other human being, no matter how heinous their actions may be. They may lack empathy, but at their human core, they still experience emotions nonetheless. It brought a very real and unique feeling to the show. I believe every moment that most people would consider "filler moments" were simply part of a bigger picture that most people weren't ready to acknowledge regarding the world of the mob. It painted a bigger picture, or rather shined some light on a larger idea, that most if not all other pieces of mobster entertainment failed to address. That's not to say that any of the other mob shows or movies weren't absolute masterpieces, but frankly, they were pretty much always the same idea with the same depth of thinking. The Saprono's set itself apart with plenty of these necessary moments that most people would call "filler" moments. It told a bigger story and I found it to be very interesting and unique to the world of the mafia. You truly have to have a healthy level of empathy in order to feel sympathy for a mobster, and The Soprano's does a great job at taking into consideration, that even people who are in the mafia, just like people who are trapped in the gang life, aren't always evil at their core. As hard as that may be to accept and understand. There's always a bigger picture, and The Saprono's does a great job at shedding light on it. If you're watching this show in hopes of getting that same classic mafia fix that you get from watching The Godfather or Goodfellas, you're in the wrong place. The Saprono's tells a bigger story, and if you didn't get the memo from the first season alone, then I don't know what to tell you. For God's sake, the very first scene in the very first episide, he's sitting in a shrinks office. This obviously isn't your classic shoot em up mobster movie, and it you found any of the family moments pointless, then this show is not for you. There's nothing wrong with the show, you're just expecting something different than what it's meant to offer. Plain and simple. People who bash this show fail to understand it completely.
This is one of the bes shows ever. I remember watching it with my family and friends. Every Sunday night we would all set together and eat popcorn watching Sopranos. The actors in this show were amazingly talented, and the writers were just as good. One of the beat episodes for me was when Chris and Paulie got lost in the woods with the Russian dude. It was defiantly the funniest episode in the series.
They could never even try to replicate this show. What a genius David Chase is and a fantastic actor James Gandolfini (sadly) was.
Just the fact that people still comment and show love to the sopranos only speaks to the impact this show had. I’m only 23, my dad said to watch it and oh boy I finally know why this is such a classic.
They were
Like the Talmud says.....
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT HE SAID!
lol
Classic
When Phil's head gets smashed and the guy is puking and the other guy says " oh shit " still cracks me up
Crack you up??
Cracked up Phil's head too
It was hilarious 😂! Dude was handicap ♿️ also
I liked when Johnny Cakes cracked Vito’s cheeks wide open
So classic, thx for sharing!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Whistling to the Wheatfield
“As the Talmud says…”
“I don’t give a shit what he says” 💀 😂
I've watched this show so much, all the way through and also clips on youtube and only now did it truly sink in, how good the fighting choreography is. It all looks hella real. No stunt doubles either, (as far as i can tell). Tony vs Ralphie and Tony vs Bobby Bacala was super intense and believable.
The wallet autopsy bit is top tier hilarious
That first therapist Melfi went to with her family was hilarious. Always love seeing that guy on a rewatch. Wish he appeared more throughout the series.
Uncle June squishing the pie on her face as an alternative of giving her a few knuckle sandwiches was pretty hilarious 😂
It wasnt funny. Zero
It was funny, but the scene itself as a whole was heartbreaking. The only time we see Junior being genuinely happy was when he was with her, and after this it was all downhill.
It’s wild how insecure dudes were about going down on a woman.
I remember this being a very real thing that if a guy gave his girl head, he was considered gay.
Nowadays, those same dudes who would admonish giving head are now proud to eat ass. Lol
@@rev.jimjonesandthekool-aid4488it was funny you’re just soft
@@jonmann4980 Funny how? What's funny about it?
10:04 how a pie just so happens to be there is beyond me 😂😂😂
She brought the pie in
Best show of all time. These highlights do and don’t do it justice at the same time lol great highlights
Loved the Sapronos, there will never be another series like it. RIP Tony. Great actor in many different roles.
Tany Sapronos, nice to meet you
Sopranos was the first, and then there was a better wave with the likes of Breaking Bad and Vikings. 2022 smashes the shows that were better than Sopranos. It was the first, but certainly not the best.
@@stardaggerrihannsu2363 The Sopranos have opened the way for the other series you mentioned, especially Breaking Bad. Even Brian Cranston stated it : "Without Tony Soprano there would never have been Walter White."
@@stardaggerrihannsu2363 your nuts if you think Breaking Bad or any show comes close to the sopranos, u must love meth
The Sopranos ,The Wire & Bordwalk Empire and Mad Men , they were the best ones HBO made, The Sopranos and The Wire were the most realistic, still to be beat.
Uncle Junior giving her the angry pie to the face is so hilarious
He was so angry, that he wanted to hit her! She just couldn't keep her mouth zipped! Lol.
God I loved this show. Great actors great production 10/10
Only just spotted David Chase's cameo as the rude Italian 'c...s......' when Paulie says bonjourno to the Italians seated outside at the cafe. 😂
The way Bobby says "Roadies?!" at 47:11 makes me laugh every single time
Oh you don't wanna know!!
I just watched this episode today 😂😂😂
1 of the Best shows EVER. I still watch episodes at least once a month! R.I.P to all the great actors that has passed away 🕊
The best show in the history of television. And it’s not even close.
@@michaelcavallacci2945that actually would be the wire lad but sopranos is certainly excellent and one of the best ever
@@raymondsims7042 the wire was fantastic.
It’s a matter of opinion. For my money it’s the Sopranos.
The single most iconic figure ever is Tony.
The rest is subjective. Wire was great.
@@michaelcavallacci2945 even what you’re saying about tony soprano is subjective. But I respect the opinion I just think the wire has a more profound message and more to say about the world, better plot lines, world building, characters, story arcs etc… I don’t think a show (and I’ve seen a lot) is close to the wire.The sopranos is certainly a masterpiece and I respect your opinion
@@raymondsims7042the breaking bad is the best
Tony was such an interesting and underrated characters, they should have really done more with him
"John I'm here at the federal courthouse where reputed mob boss Corrado Soprano just fell 9..no..7 steps." lol
55:37
I've never heard Tony sound more like a child than at this moment🤣
"He hit me."
But I love that line..."lose your arrogance." 🖐💥
13:16 this scene always makes me laugh, poor bobby 😂😂
💀
What a trip down memory lane, thanks for the recap 25 years later
It’s cool that they had Tony realize how much stress chefs go through.
I love artie and tonys relationship lmao, ive never seen a man not even get scared to throw a piece of meat on the face of tony soprano hahaha
Tony was blessed because Arti was a genuine friend in his life.
47:28 Artie caught a stray 😂😂😂
Best TV Show ever, imo. The writing of this show and charracter development is phenomenal. And the acting is so good, acoss the board, with James Gandolfini as the best
The Sopranos is both the best drama and best comedy show to ever air on television
5:09 timestamp
Silvio Dante was trying so hard not to laugh. 🤣
I’m only a few years younger than JG was in the first season and he still looks like my elder. Something about him exudes instant respect.
Thank you for an hour and ten minutes of Sopranos.
Any man who calmly walks away after just planting a bomb but still be a law abiding citizen to stop at the crosswalk and look both ways before crossing the street is a great man
My father always preached this to me and my siblings👏
