The Wire - The Ruthless Chris Partlow
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 янв 2014
- The critically acclaimed series "The Wire" featured some very memorable characters such as: Stringer Bell, Avon Barksdale, Omar Little, The Bunk and Jimmy McNulty. However, no character was more feared than Chris Partlow. The Chris Partlow character has to be one of the most cold-blooded characters if not thee most cold-blooded character in television history. Partlow was an enforcer, adviser, and friend of Stanfield's and was willing to do his part to help Stanfield achieve his goal of wearing "The Crown" no matter the cost. This video is a collection of his best scenes, not his best one-liners.
PS: RUclips would not allow me to put the scene from Monk's apartment when Chris and Snoop ambushed Omar. Sorry.

when chris and snoop show up, there ain't even a reason to try and plead your case... it's way too late
they were never able to take Omar out
James O'Bryan yeah but that fucking kid did
You are so damn right
When you see those two, you already know what it is
"Yo, Chris, I didn't..."
"Yeah. It's good."
I love The Wire for the simple fact that, they didnt treat the audience like idiots. They didn’t always spell things out for you to understand, a lot is left for interpretation. For example, they never outright told you Michael and Chris were molested as children, it is heavily implied. When you see Chris rage out on Michael’s Dad was the perfect way to telling you without telling you Chris’s past.
Well said
And when stringer tells Bodie to kill Wallace he says it in a subtle ass way I didn't even know he wanted him dead my first time watching
I didn’t get that Chris was necessarily molested. He was a father and maybe he had a general disgust for child molesters because he had children. Not that he was molested. Some say he’s had military training and combat experience and business is why he is in a mercenary type position in the game.
they pretty much said it when Bunk was reviewing the file on Michael's dad. He says "you baby-bumping motherfucker" while he's reading it.
I mean its not a bad thing when show tells you the problem. Some people dont pay attention to details and just want entertainment.
Chris was the nicest, humble, murdering, sociopath, psycho person you ever met.
Todd alquist from breaking bad could also meet that description
@@maxkrystal7403 chris would solo Todd tbh,he’s probably on par with mike even though mike has better feats
@@jayyy1677As far as just being a complete psychopath Todd worse than Chris
Todd have zero emotions at all
@@allaboutthemurzic in terms of combat,Todd is by far worse
@@jayyy1677 yeah, Todd isn't a good shooter, in shootout between Neo Nazis and Hank + Gomez Todd is visible shooting like a girl
The fact that Marlo can calmly watch Joes face get blown apart, without blinking and with a slight smile, is horrifying. Not ashamed to say I hope I don’t run into anyone that cold blooded.
I've known a few. Thing about is you'd never know with a lot of them. Some of them are mild mannered and polite. Some are charismatic and seem friendly. You'd never know they were killers unless you got on their bad side. And that's the issue, they're unstable people. Doesn't take much for them to snap. Say the wrong thing, make the wrong joke and it could be the last thing you say. Even if you're a friend you're not safe.
COLD BLOODED KILLERS ARE AROUND YOU EVERYDAY MAN!!! YOU WON'T KNOW A KILLER TILL HE KILLS YOU!!!
CALCULATION
NOTHING PERSONAL

Stay away from the usual suspects and you should be good
Legend has it chris had 350 pair of black air force 1’s.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
i dont get the reference
*Correction* He had 350 Black Tims with 50 pairs of jeans shorts and 30 dingy tank tops.
@@yaboy3186 #itsaidso
Vaughn Voth New pair a day
Chris was literally the embodiment of death. No emotion, all business, even courteous in a way
How about his rage
fr. he ain’t play around
the one time he got emotional he got busted. that says something
There should be a spin-off movie called “Meet Chris Black” where he hangs out with a rich old white man for the last few days of his life bettors he takes him out to a vacant and shoots him I’m the head
Figuratively
That Andre scene man...I couldn't imagine having a convo about the logistics of my death with my killers.
Lmao 😂🤣 I'm done with you 😆😂🤣😂😅
Don’t worry, Chris has your back
No fret boss, Chris got you
Gotta go out with a fight
Everyone glorifies this mess now look at us nation wide we’re killing each other this crap and GTA
4:55 one of the most brutally realistic beatdowns i've ever seen.
And what makes it more significant is that Chris is normally so cool calm and collected about his cold blooded ruthless murders, to a professional level. So much so, that even his partner in crime Snoop is even in shock at the extremes he goes to.
Great show.
As someone who’s been on the giving and receiving end of a horrible beat down, I’ll say the sound was off. Less impacts, more erratic breathing.
@@QEsposito510 Sure thing, internet tough guy.
@@johnjuiceshipper4963 - You do realise it's entirely possible for people to get the shit kicked out of them, right?
@@johnjuiceshipper4963 I’m way tougher than you. Do something about it.
@@QEsposito510 🤡
It's so creepily backwards in logic how polite Chris is to almost everyone he's about to kill. "Aiight I gotchu bruh, quick and clean, right in the head. Ay can I get ya somethin' real quick boss, like a pillow? Maybe a snack?"
Kind of similar to Todd in BB.
Creepy as all hell but I actually kinda admire it a little lol, he's the last person they'll ever interact with so he takes it upon himself to give them just a little bit of comfort before they 'go'
I think it’s more his own personal code, as he tells Michael that he always has to look into the eyes anyone he kills. I think he personally doesn’t have respect for anyone he kills, but he wants them to feel like they can die like a man, I wonder if he feels he’s above the game in the same way brother mozounne did.
Need some help? Maybe some spit?
you admire a cold-blooded killer?
@@TribuneAquila he has respect for some. he had respect for the old man who didn't betray Omar thats why he made it a point to tell the other guy "make sure you tell Omar everything". He respected that "tough old man"
"Don't fret boss I got you covered." "I got your back." Chris has the best customer service of any murderer. You gonna be dead, but you gonna be comfortable. xD
😂😂😂😂
LOLL
It speaks to the overall pragmatic behavior of the whole stansfield crew
Lmao customer service.
Right!? Lol
I honestly think Chris has military training. He more than likely was one of those dudes that gang members sent to the military who had a clean record, did his 4 year hitch in the military, came home and started putting in work. The way he carries himself. He's not brutal when it comes to killing, he doesn't kill for the sake of killing, but he follows orders, gives critical advise to his superior, and is efficient. The way he carries himself and has a code of ethics of things that he doesn't tolerate. He's not your average "gang banger", but has no aspirations to be a "king pin" either.
rkn Chris is the kinda guy that made the curriculum
Y’all some semper fi niggas ain’t ya? Where cheese go to enlist ?
Military, maybe. But what can teach military skills is survival better than the streets. Gotta know what it takes to survive. Chris has years of experience.
@@donnaprince9109 surviving in the streets is different than being taught how to survive in the military. Surviving in the streets does not give you the ruthless efficiency that Chris has. Also the tactics and level headed ability to be an advisor. You can tell he's also educated by the way he talks.
The way he trains his soldiers also. Mike wouldn’t have been the replacement Omar if it wasn’t for Chris and snoops training
"Quick and clean boss, I promise", "I got you covered", "I got your back" etc...
Chris has such amazing customer service skills. I guess they ended up hiring him in the prison cafeteria later in his life.
When Chris says he got you covered he means the plastic sheet
LMAO
MuffMuff36 Chris and Marlow are gentlemen killers! 😂 😂 😂 They do their best to make their victims calm down just before their demise...
This shit needs way more likes😄😄😄
And when he's 'got your back' he means two rounds in the back.
Bruh what if this legit what he meant, mind blown lmao
As ruthless as Chris was, he had a soft spot for Michael. THAT is what truly changed my thought process on him. Anytime Marlo thought Michael was the one snitching, Chris always stuck up for him. I can guarantee you if Chris wasn't locked up, he would have prevented Snoop from trying to kill him.
Roy White that was one time and Marlo loved Michael and was sad about it
I think chris liked michael because he related with michael. The way chris killed his father makes me think that chris was sexually assaulted when he was younger, just like michael.
Norman Getsinger yeah but Marlo loved him too. Marlo had a code as well. Chris did not. When Marlo ordered Mike’s hit it wasn’t personal. The issue was Mike was already on the police’s radar. Michael was a link to bug’s dad’s murder. Marlo has a rule if they had evidence of you dealing with the police or you were linking them to a crime then you had to go.
I don’t think the kids were really sexually assaulted. Mike just wanted him gone for being a low life. The mother was a fiend but Mike didn’t want her dead only him so she’ll clean up
no, he would have done nothing. Marlo odered the hit and Chris would have done it.
Chris would have never stepped up to Marlo. He was his underling through and through and did his bidding.
He killed me when he said " not in a vacant.... My people will never find me!" 🤣🤣🤣. I can't watch it without laughing.
He sound like a little kid lol
Same 😂😂😂😂
“I got u covered Andre” “Chris no!!” 😂😂
I didn't find it funny. That boy was saved but, living the street life. He wanted a Christian burial.
Well, that's the whole point dumbass! Nobody is supposed to be able to find you!😂😂😂
Snoop coming out of the shadow tricking Lex, gets me every time.
Cheese is hilarious. "I ain't done nothin lately to piss you off, right? Right?" He knew who he was walking with.
c dubba u Cheese was a dog prop Joe should’ve kept on a tight leash .
Smfh it SHOULDA been Cheese snake ass
leonard green prop almost got his whole crew smoked
I don't understand why he asks Chris, Chris does Marlo bidding, he didn't chose who he killed.
That whole scene rec
Chris wore the most off-brand clothing. That man was truly insane.
Lmao
Danny C the button up shirt and the hoody yo 😭😭😭😭
@@jaysmith61 lmao, he was getting some crazy looks off.
LMFAO. You bet'd not let Chris see your comment.
And he always buttoned up every button to the top. He used to be in the military.
Chris is so professional in what he does, it’s so casual to him that he finds a way to be nice about it to his victims. He had a broader vision than Marlo and could see his flaws but always played his part and stayed loyal, never straight up questioning Marlo’s decisions but instead offering a better approach.
I think my favorite thing about the characters in the wire is their eyes. So many fiercely intelligent looking eyes. Always made the characters so much more compelling.
"never mind you why. Why ain't in your repertoire no more nigga" cold and funny at the same time lmao 😂😂😂😂
That line was the coldest from Chris
Snoop: YUURTT
He’s enforcing the discipline that Marlo’s people must have
I would've asked him why lol
Chris pimped slapped the boy Bodie w/ words when he said that.
Snoop's "Damn, you didn't even wait to get him in the house" is the most needed comic relief in all of television.
they should have made her say nothing. THAT would ve been the true horror capture of the hood.
Death Rager naw because they've seen so much that nothings really new to them
It also is an important plot detail because that's how he eventually goes down. Leaving the body out, it was almost like a plot hole in my opinion because they had taken care of every other body. That one they just left out.
voteZDLR No its not. I haven’t watched but its clear chris had been raped before. And he was in his feelings when beating his ass
@Jordan Jacobs Are you responding to me? Cause I didn't say anything about whether he got raped or not. I think it's VERY clear that Chris took that kill SUPER personally, with how intensely and like you said "in his feelings" while doing it. That was pure, unadulterated hatred what he did to him. Even Snoop herself was shocked. So yeah I believe, too, and always have that Chris WAS a victim of sexual abuse. Either that or he's just already got it ingrained in him the prison culture thing where like for example if you are a sex offender who goes to prison who hurt children especially you might as well get ready to do all your time in solitary. Cause in prison the people who harm children in anyway especially sexually are marked men. Plain and simple. But yeah I agree, Chris has never showed as much hatred in the entire show and I've seen it twice. The Devil was in him when he did that, and honestly IMO for a good reason, fuck that piece of shit.
The hit with the vendor takes my #1 spot as the most haunting death in the series simply due to the randomness of it. In every other death, there was always some level of "involvement" so their murders made sense. Even the security guard fell due to directly confronting Marlo. However, regarding the woman, she had no ties to anything happening in that world. It could've been anybody. She was just in the right place at the wrong time.
You mean wrong place wrong time.
It was an intimidation tactic
The vendor lady's murder wasn't random at all. It was part of the setup to frame Omar for robbing the store. Old faced Andre was to be the victim and also ID Omar as the shooter. The lady was completely innocent though.
When he said "say Omar" to the guy that witnessed the shooting, it implied that they wanted Omar to be charged with the murder. They had to kill a regular person in order to muster up interest from the police. They would not have cared about someone in the game getting killed. It was very cold blooded, but not without purpose.
It was to frame Omar
In my opinion the most intimidating guy on the show. The closest thing to a Sociopath the show gave us. It wasn’t his anger, fury;etc that scares you….but rather the lack of it at times. Great character
Lol, your take is funny. CLEARLY the most intimidating guy on the show. CLEARLY a sociopath.
That guy was no Sociopath he was a stone cold Psychopath a Sociopath is all fire and passion a Psychopath is ice that’s how you tell them apart.
He wasn’t a sociopath nor psycho
@@jayyy1677 what was he?
@@harrissr.615 His humanity was stolen from being abused at a young age in the most horrible of ways. As Cormac Mccarthy said, "We know very well how to create serial killers."
The scene where Chris annihilates Michael's stepdad is one of the most impressive scenes in television. It shows Chris as both ruthless and vulnerable at once, humanises and demonises him. Still gives me chills seeing it.
annihilates lmaooo
The one where he's torturing the blind dude was good too. Some great acting from everyone in the room.
Do you understand the implication of that scene? Chris losing his cool, doing a sloppy job, this is the murder that gets him arrested for DNA evidence. When the man admitted to raping boys in jails Chris snapped. The implication is Chris was locked up as a young man and sexually assaulted in prison.
@@edgarramos1499 Why are you explaining this to me?
Honestly the reason why he's my favorite character. Lost a friend to a weirdo that did that to her. I wish I could of got to him before the police. Rip K kocham cie.
The whole interaction between Chris and Michael over Bug's dad was revealing. Chris knew exactly why Michael wanted it done because he obviously was victimized as well. The whole scene of beating him to death was made all the more intense by the reaction of Snoop. It was her moment of realization of where Chris' whole being was created.That was, for me, one of the finest and most intense scenes of that entire series.
It's one of my favorite scenes. It shows that characters like this come from somewhere like all things, these people aren't in a vacuum.
roger w yeah the 4th season was tha deadliest.
Hands down!
Yes, even Snoop was freaking out.
Yup
Chris partlow is literally one of TVs best villains ever.
Not really, aside from beating Michaels father to death he showed no character at all
What an amazing character, incredible acting. My respect for causing me to sit on the edge of my seat the first time I watched the wire. If only I could watch the wire again for the first time.
No shit bro. That’s the best statement I’ve heard regarding this series. Straight up.
"Never mind you WHY, WHY ain't in your repertoire no more n*gga"- best Chris Partlow quote EVER!
YURRR
Here is good is my favorite
Oh aight
some fuckin' punchline there... damn! hahahah
As much as people amp up the show Power, you just can't compare that show to the rawness on The wire.
Power is D-league for the Wire. And it's not that Power is a bad show,but Wire is the best of all times.
The Wire is a modern classic. It's raw, authentic, intense, in your face, no bullshit, no gimmick, type of show 💯
Jay 88 Facts!
Lol I was done with power after season 3. Became too predictable. The acting became weak as well...

lmfao!
Thaank you for 30 seconds of laughter.
Chris was more scary than Marlo, you can order a hit, but the way Chris went about carrying it out was chilling
That’s only cause you know about Marlo only what you see in the show. It’s what you don’t see that makes everyone else fear him. The jail scene shows you that. I would bet Marlo is way worse than Chris and Snoop, he just doesn’t need to get his hands dirty anymore. If I remember correctly someone referred to Marlo as the devil at one point in the show
I love how Snoop's voice goes high pitch when saying "The boy ain't right". This is so spot on. Growing up in DC, I heard some of the hardest dudes go high pitch when saying certain things. Brilliant capture here!!
Snoop ain’t a dude tho
@@jerisanders3014 she harder than most though.
@@stevencoates3382 Anyone can be hard with a gun. Take it away and she's a fugly midget chick you wouldn't fuck with a stolen dick.
Chris is the scariest type of og. The type that makes you think he’s doing you a favor by killing you. So reassuring. So polite and out of sight. So unphased by death. It wasn’t until he killed Michaels step father that he truly showed how much rage he truly could reach and went super saiyan. He even had snoop shook. Dudes on some dexter shit.
He was raped and abused as a child
😂 foreal tho
"Don't fret boss, i got you covered. Quick and clean, i promise" he made good on his promise

You may as well like Dre he just walked down there fuck that I would make them kill me in the street
I loved Chris in this show but him shooting that lady stocking the shelves was too savage
That was cold!
@@tonyb.1905 yea he was ruthless
The messed up part was that package lady didn't even know she was about to die and she had a smile and even called him baby, and he still killed her! That nappy headed dude did his work and RIP to that lady!!! Scariest part of the Wire in my book!
That was awful, she wasn't in the game at all.
The fact Andre tried to reason with Chris about where to kill him lol
Still couldnt get Omar tho. Chris had mad respect for Omar skill, thats why he didnt want to go at him in the first place and why he never told Marlo what Omar was saying - too dangerous for him.
He fucked up and shot the lady with a 9
666% agree
for Omar & Chis ;)
and Chris kinda feared him a little too. When Omar escaped from the shootout in Monks apartment, Chris was paranoid to visit his family because he thought Omar might be watching him.
Chris understood that Omar's greatest advantage was that you never knew when or where he would attack you. It's impossible to keep your guard up 24/7. That's why Chris told Omar to let it slide and then attack Omar later. Chris wanted to turn Omar's advantage into his advantage. That was excellent advice. Chris was a solid number two for Marlo.
@@KoreanGirlAss He was never scared of Omar..he respected him..Shooters respect shooters.
Chris had the biggest presence when he was on screen... he also sent a chill down the spine every time he was in front of the camera. Probably my favorite character on the show. Brilliant performance.
Snoop saying “get on ova here mang” to andre always had me crackin up😂
😂 I don't know how Chris didn't laugh taking Andre to that vacant with Andre talking about the rats.
😅😂😅😂 that was crazy it's like he was ok with dying 😅😂
Yea I wouldve been cracking up low key 🤣
Chris may have been ruthless but he also was one of the few killers on the show who had a real sense of professionalism.
Absolutely right bro
Xavier Vega actually I think most killers had a real sense of professionalism: Wee Bey, Sergei, Slim and Cutty (although he didn't kill anyone), and I can't think of any other designated killer. There were many gangsters who committed an occasional homicide or two, but that didn't make them killers in the way Chris and the others are.
Xavier Vega plus he was real as fuck ...no snitching
Brother Mouzune
"Quick and clean, boss" Chris has exceptional customer service skills.
You could tell that Chris had been molested as well. There was a lotta raw anger and hate in him when he beat the crap out of that dude
Your right there mate. Very powerful scene
djwestbrook36 beat the crap outta him? lol that's a understatement. He literally beat him to death!
That was the reason Chris went to jail. His DNA was all over that dude he killed.
did that guy who was beaten to death molested that guy who killed snoop?
i must say i didnt understood that untill i read on internet, i really though dad was trying to get better from prison and get along with kids, but damn this is dark stuff
Chris and Marlo were actual friends more then just his worker, he actually listened to Chris and took his advice, he was one of the only characters who even knew Chris had a family, I’m thinking they came up together, Marlo was the face, Chris was the brand, Chris knew his place and didn’t wanna be a boss like slim and weebey
How have I not seen this actor in more movies/TV shows. Underrated.
"chris, please!" "don't fret boss, i got ya covered. quick and clean i promise" nigga is a stone cold killer
nucky thompson Werd. Thats why I love The Wire. The character development is so good. Showed how cold Chris was.
Seth Stone i think it can go both ways. chris is about to murder someone and yet he's casually talking to him. he's cold. if he was sympathetic, i think he'd be a lot more hesitant before the deed was done and remorseful afterwards.
Omar Little Chris is just straight up fake, that's what it's called. Just like u said. He casually talks to people like he's cool, then he murders them.
He just truly ruthless and don't care !
He's terrible!.
pretty much everyone they took into those vacants knew they were going to get killed. that's why they're stone cold killers. these people were so terrified of snoop and Chris that they willingly walked to their own deaths
Stephen Grigg And that's why they were crazy. Ain't no way in the world. smh
I didn't like him killing that delivery lady.
No witnesses man.
yea that shit was fucked up
Mike C He did'nt have to kill her, it was not about witnesses. It was about pinning a murder on Omar.
Dima Shinder hes a solider that duz what he's told ..in the game thats what matters
*****
his boss told him too do it ...he done it
“They found DNA at the scene”
“It was probably from my hair.”
Or the spit at 5:50
Man, I haven't watched a show which a character like this made me feel so twisted and disturbed. Their disposal of the bodies by hiding them in plain sight, the vacant houses, it was even creepier. Walking that guy to his death so politely, him begging that his family won't know, he'll have disappeared. "You ain't heard? Chris and Snoop walked him down an alley. He up in a vacant now."
Chris had absolutely no emotion. He killed with ease. That's what makes him the most ruthless killer on The Wire...damn it I miss The Wire lol.
the punisher will give him a run for his money, shiiit, every bodies money on that show lol
He did have emotion, he wasn't a psychopath like Marlo. It's just that he was really, really professional.
You clearly don't know the clinical definition of a psychopath. And most of the people he killed were not innocent. Psychopath are incapable of empathy, or emotion. They care about nothing and no one, family included. not the case with him. That is the reason the army weeds them out, and they make crap teammates.
jimmd56 i only seen Chris show emotion one time, and that was with Bugs father. To be honest i don't really know if u can call that emotion.
That was because Michael told him Bugs father molested him. The way he killed him was totally unprofessional, and it was heavily implied that he reacted the way he did, because the same was done to him. that may even be why he become a killer in the first place. If that isn't emotion, I don't know what is. that and the fact that he took Michael under his wing and mentored him like that. Psychopaths cannot do that. and the other time he showed emotion was when at the apartment, they failed to kill Omar. he was worried that he would go after his family. that scene where he throws that knife to the floor. He may be morally reprehensible, but he is not a psychopath. Marlo on the other hand, definitely is.
Fun fact, the actor that does Chris was actually an extra in season 1. Just a cop in the background
I saw that, I was tripping
Word ima look for that.
Paul Ward can you link to a pic? couldnt find it
Pablo Santiago You can look for "The Wire Casting" video, it shows not just the actors talking about what roles they read for but also a few stand-ins such as Partlow and Bill Zorzi

Insane character, absolutely breathtaking man! 😂❤ I could barely focus in the Chris scenes with his chocolate self.

The funniest thing, the actor is a completely different person. Totally chill and laid back. I think he does Broadway now if I’m not mistaken. I went to high school with him in Gaithersburg Maryland. He is also Wale( recording artist) cousin.
So he's an african
@@peteytv9883 yes. from Nigeria.
Chris is like the Farmers insurance guy, “I got you covered boss” means “Imma make sure your loved ones cash in on that life policy early”😂😂😂
Killing the woman at the store is what truly makes Chris a savage. The other people were all in the game in one way or another but the lady and the security guard were civilians. I think they put that in there so that he never would be viewed as an antihero.
That’s the thing that saved him too cuz Mcnulty knew it was fishy because omar doesn’t kill civilians. He they set him up by killing someone in the game, the cops wouldn’t care as much but it might have slid past Mcnulty that Omar finally finally made a mistake.
You can’t reason with a psychopath
It also revealed how Chris had such a fundamental misunderstanding of Omar and how he rolled. Omar wouldn't involve anyone who wasn't in the game, hence how Chris fucked up forcing Old Face Andre to pin that lady's murder on Omar.
Right
@@carlosmark9840 socialpath he only talk to snoop Marlo and Michael everyone else is like a target lol
Chris is the new deadly breed. Takes orders, doesn't question and gets the job done to the best of his abilities. He's like a deadly killbot.

Always found it a bit hard to believe Andre was so resigned to his fate like that without putting up any resistance.
@@matthewmochan3161 LOL yeah like he's so passive about it. No fight whatsoever he's more upset on where he's dying 😂
Chris to me was one of the most interesting characters on the show. There was so much mystery to him. He was quiet and mild-mannered, but also the shows most lethal killer. He had a genuine care for Michael, was most likely molested as a child and had a family he didn't want to be away from for too long. A part of me wished we knew more about his past, but that could take away from his intrigue
BatDevilSpawn om
I wish he had a spin off or something
Chris didn't have a family

DICK LONG Chances are they worded it "blind guy" to emphasize the joke?
"b..b..but the RATS!! I'LL BE ALONE WIT THE RATS!!!"
"It's alright. I got your back"
Dre definitely has the most favorable reaction to being about to be murdered in a vacant lmao seems like Chris really made him feel better.
B..b..but my people! They WON’T KNOW!!
One of my favorite scenes. "Here's good."
😂😂😂😂
He’s more worried on where he’s going to be killed, than actually BEING killed
Andre is an interesting character. He knows he's dead, and he accepts it. He's just worried about where it goes down.
I remember watching this shit back in the day as a teenager, 2 decades later, this shit still a classic!
I might have commented before, but I had to watch this again. Chris and Snoop were one of the best double acts ever, to wait for Chris to kill you all you wanted to hear was him say “I’ve got you quick and clean”, if you didn’t hear them words, you’d be a mess by the end. The greatest TV show ever, something this good will never come again. Thanks for the video, again probably LOL😂👍
Chris was fucking crazy. Torture, beating down, killing was on the same level as drinking a glass of water to him. You can only imagine how crazy Marlo is for Chris to follow him.
***** Right, but you never get to see the extent of that. They leave it up to ones imagination, which I think is brilliant. You could only ever tell from the look in his eyes or the way he spoke. He respected and feared no one, not even the cops. Had Carver not been smart enough to retreat, Marlo would have probably had him and Herc, killed. He would have probably killed Chris without a second thought if Chris was in his way.
+Erick Santos marlo would never kill 2 armed cops, it would be even worse for them than the time the force hunted down wee-bey.
How do you know what Marlo would or would not do? They never show you how crazy the guy really is.
***** Exactly
+Erick Santos Actually, I think Marlo eventually found someone to grudgingly respect, if not fear, towards the end of the series. That one scene when Marlo visits Avon in prison is a textbook example of an imbalance in power dynamics. I believe that Marlo didn't initially take Avon too seriously, calling him weak and, yes, even running him off the streets and into prison. But that time when he visited Avon truly made him change. It showed that if Avon had been the one to deal with the up-and-coming Marlo instead of Stringer all those years ago, Marlo might have met his match.
Avon, from the beginning, knew how to push Marlo's buttons, toying with the latter's sense of pride by insinuating that he was working for some "white man in a suit", whereas Stringer had tried unsuccessfully to appeal to Marlo's (probably nonexistent) non-aggressively businessman-like side. And then there's the fact that Avon has influence even over the corrections officers. It was clear that although Marlo stole the crown from Avon and had his fifteen minutes of fame, he was still crude in his power, relying more on fear than a respect-imposing demeanor, and never going to be as respected as Avon. I think Avon had it bad because of having had Stringer take on Marlo, but in the end I still think Avon was more of an experienced and well-respected leader than Marlo was.
Just think: the only time he showed emotion on the show got him arrested.
thatonedrewguy he got arrested because he spit on him lol and didn’t put him in the vacant
Facts he reacted off the emotion and didn’t follow his routine
the only nigga chris snoop an marlo was scared of was omar that punk ass marlo went into hidin after omar got away in monk's apt. anlook how relieved chris an snoop looked when he told em omar was bagged up. cause they knew he was comin for them next. i just wish omar would've got some back up maybe called kimmie or somebody.
@@antoineemory6772 Marlo never got word, remember the jail scene where he got mad because nobody told him, he was very insecure about his name
It's because he was molested by a male relative when he was a child. David Simon has talked about it.
“Nevermind you why, why ain’t in your repertoire no more.”
That was a great line.
"YUUUUR!"
butch had mad heart
Omar Little hell yeah
lmfao he was yelping like tho hahahah and the bottle to the head had him going lol
Dat Shit Broke My Young Heart In 07
Was just about to say that
Lets be real, if you had to choose between one cold hearted killer and another cold hearted killer, you might as well be loyal to the one you know.
Gbenga Akinnagbe, aka Chris Partlow, kills with such a cold efficiency and calmness that would make a sociopath be terrified. Amazing actor, amazing character.
You know he was in taking Pelham 123 , and John Travoltas character shoots him on the subway train
What’s he been in since? Guy killed it on this show.
@@tucko11 Hah! I did not know that!
I found this show through RUclips. I always heard how good it was but never watched an episode or knew anything about the Wire. This show is a work of art. Near perfection and ultra realistic with amazing characters.
Same 💯
It’s so interesting that the actor auditioned for Marlo. But he was perfectly casted as Chris.
I've watched many tv series during my life. Chris Partlow has always haunted me ever since I watched all 5 seasons of The Wire for the first time. He doesn't think about death row, spending the rest of his life in a prison or what happens to his soul after he dies. He just kills.... never thinks twice, he just kills like it's an every week thing for him. He doesn't seem to regret anything. Killing for him is easier than for "normal" people to choose what cereal they want to eat lol
That's what makes him such a great character. Very few people know someone or have someone like Chris Partlow in their life. He does something on a regular basis that "normal" people consider heinous, and it's just a regular part of his life, like picking up milk from the grocery store. For us "normal" folks, that makes him intriguing because we have a hard time wrapping our mind around someone living a life where killing people is pretty much an everyday "errand". We're voyeuristic, we like to peek into the lives of individuals that live outside the realm of what "we" think is "normal society". It's why Breaking Bad was/is such a popular show.
@@Se7enDuece Which is basically also Todd.
@@kennydrew6886 yes
"Why ain't in yo repertoire no mo nigga." 😂😂😂
yurrrrrp lol
^^^.........cU!!!!!
The very best cast of any show ever anywhere such a high standard of acting along with storylines and production.
I always imagined Chris had military experience and developed all Marlo’s other soldiers in the same way
imagine gettin capped cuz u faild Chris n Snoop's corner quiz
"damn, you didn't even wait to get the mathafucka in the house" 😂😂😂
Saw when Chris spit on him? THAT'S what got him busted. Fucking sad, because that's the one kill that was done for an arguably good reason.
kilahchris it would've been both...the spit, and blood from him punching the chomo barehanded.
It was the kick. Blood on his boots.
Snoop was the best sidekick ever. If she was carrying a bucket . . .
@kilahchris it was the spit
Watched this gem of a show in 2018 and i and lookin back at it that really was the good time
Very intelligent calculating, and cold. Those make the best killers!
He ain't no real police, he full time on this Micky Mouse shit here. Best line :D
+Lopata991 Hahaha Yea
+Lopata991 lmao honestly quite possibly my favorite line in the entire show
"Nice dolphin nigga" Best line of the show hands down.
How come black people cant pluralize words or use the word (is) or (they’re) and many others. I always wanted to know why that is?
@@dbodooley T'cho ass up, fool.
"not in the vacant"
"whats the difference"
lmfao
live the life..accept the limited outcomes: jail or murder...
Jus Me "Here❔" "Here is good"
actually i like the way it sounds, hes already (in moments) accepted his fate, his fat ass aint running, and chris and snoop are not only much more limber, younger, and LOADED and ready...and what is Old Face gonna do ?
so he wants his people to you know find his body, know what happened, hes scared, upst, but he aint gonna break down n start crying
most of these guys accept the reality of death/prison
simply put...hell it comes for us all (in 1 form or another, death that is) and for these guys usually sooner, and more violent
I mean HEAR Old Face's voice "chris...NoooO" it sounds scared, upset, all those emotions all at once, HERE, but ...the rats....ill be alone with the rats
I dont think that sounds fake...it was well done. fat man scared, but accepts his fate, whats he gonna do run ? and take 3 in the back ? he still doesn't stand a chance so walk like a man, and chill chris will make it quick...you'd be surprised what a human is willing to do when he knows his circumstances and he has no options (like Stringer knew).
lol i still like Snoops "wahts the difference" like shit your fat ass gonna rott no matter where we dump yo carcass, so whats the fuckin difference
lol its brutal, and funny at the same time
Chris tells him that he has his back while he's about to kill him! 😂 😂 😂
Lol W
Gbenga Akinnagbe absolutely slayed this role, making Chris one of the most memorable badass characters in television history. Comes from quite the talented family too: his first cousin is D.C. rapper Wale.
“Don’t worry boss , I got you covered “ …. Ice cold🥶
2:06
"Yo Chris i didn't yo"
"Yeah, its good"
That part got me rolling nigga seen snoop and knew his ass was grass 😂
@The Guy That's how you KNOW your ass is dead.
@@FaMe901EnT fr😂😂
The description hit the nail on the head. Watching this show, whenever I seen Chris I got the willies. His persona was felt through the screen. Melvin said ''I ain't done nothing lately to piss you off, right''. It was like being in the presence of death and watching the show I felt the same way. That was one scary character.
I met Gbenga and Jamie when I worked at Comcast during their last season of “The Wire.” They were so sweet. I hate that I lost the picture that we took that day.
Cool calm and collected at all times. Wish I had a loyal friend like that.
I always love villains that are equally likeable as they are terrifying. You’d want to be on his good side, just not his bad.
489 people died in the wire: Chris killed 400
TT Gang are you serious🤯
Jaylin Pierre no, he killed a total of 35 people that we can directly link him to.
@@Wilburbruh #losemybreath
So who's lying here?
TT Gang Seriously?
SNOOP: WHAT HE DO AGAIN? CHRIS: TALK BACK LMFAAOOOOOOOOOOOO
“You kno I keep it quick Dre”😂😂🤦🏾♂️
@ 4:00 always cracks me up. "mutha fucka, you hear the nigga talking to you giving you praises and shit and you standing there looking fucking stupid." Classic Snoop.
+MrSilksoul Her accent kills it.
+demejiuk enhances
+demejiuk fuckin' STOUPID
+MrSilksoul She was 100% right.
MrSilksoul Snoop and Chris the best partners on the show
