"Oh! Speaking of 98 pounds, I hear Ginny Sacs getting a 98 pound mole taken off her ass!"
Looking back on the Ginny Sacrimoni controversy, it was so stupid and blown way out of proportion. To think that two made members of the mafia were going to get whacked all over a stupid joke is comical. But what if the joke about Ginny never happened? Of course we can't take back what Ralph said, but what if he still said it and nothing ever got back to John? How would The Sopranos and Lupertazzis be today? This is "The Weight" Revisited.
Comment down below your thoughts about the infamous weight joke episode and your thoughts on what would have happened had the joke never gotten out?! 👇🏻

Throughout The Sopranos, Tony certainly has his fare share of enemies and antagonists that we see throughout the series. From the toxic mother had to deal with for a majority of his life, to the plethora of nagging girlfriends, to his wife Carmela, the FBI, and even the multiple rats that try and take down Tony and his family, Tony certainly has to watch his back at all times. But there';s no enemy that causes Tony more stress than his close friends in New York in The Lupertazzi Crime Family. No matter who their boss was, from Phil, Johnny, to even Carmine Lupertazzi Sr., they always costed Tony millions of dollars.
“All due respect but this is bullshit. Somebody in my family is talking out of school and you’re not at liberty to say who? I should be making the beef here!”
He did have a point.
My thirty third, male, 19 to 34 age group Sopranos favorite RUclipsr is right.
Junior soprano: My nephew is right ( eating olives intesifies)😂
You do have a point.
This is very hurtful. Borko might have something to say.
Next do if my kid brother Jackie never died of cancer.
you got any blow?
Alright, Richie, relax. I’ll buy you a cup of coffee.
Richie when you gonna build that ramp for Beansie?
After that do "what if you kept yourself zen, and never popped Janice on the mouth".
@@TheShockVox For now. Get him a nice veal parm sandwich, and be fuckin quick about it huh?
No more weight remarks, Their hurtful and their destructive.
Oh I agree …
They’re
But still not as offensive as your grammar
@@CollaredConsulting again with the grammar
They're*
At least Ginny was nice lady, she never said or did anything nasty.
Nasty in the sheets tho BBW style
She lied about her sugar stash. That's not honorable
Yeah Ginny really was just a sweet lady. The jokes were hilariously savage tho😂
Johnny Sack was definitely standing in the hallway listening to them tell jokes about her at the bing. That’s why he was so upset over it all because he knew it was more than just Ralph. But he wanted to sacrifice him as an example.
That was guys bullshitting in a strip club. Ralph's joke was in a dinner and he heard it from paulie who's in jail so that means (at least in John's mind) its a joke that's circulating
Yep Said This Before
Ralph has all the traits of a sociopath, especially that lack of understanding and lack of empathy..
I like to think he understands empathy but chooses not to
Sigmund Freud ova here.
Hur hur hur hur@@goodyeoman4534
@@goodyeoman4534 more like Sigmund Futon
Most people in the mob do IRL, but yeah it's pretty prominent with Ralph
Its like a weight loss commercial
Before
Wayyy Before
and Wayyyyyyy Before
Heheheheheheheheh
This guy, you ever stop breaking bawls?
Can you believe this? This guy is stealing my joke! Don't show your face round here no more, capiche?🤟
Next do if my kid brudda Billy never got killed by dat animal Blundetto
Don't do to yourself, Phil
Still compromising Uncle Philly?
Eat a grill cheese of the radiator and relax Philly
U gotta compromise philly
How many years did you do in the can again? I forget
We repeatedly see in the Sopranos that loose words and "breaking balls" turns violent. It's part of what Tony says in the first episode, that the Mafia is falling apart
It was always falling apart though.
Think of every mob boss throughout history.
Majority end up dead, or in prison.
It's always been inner conflict in the mafia. Most of the LCNs biggest wars has been internal.
At least the sopranos glorified crew
Tony also mocked Ginny's weight to John's face when they were in the Maserati, a notoriously small car that Tony himself had trouble getting into
The little smirk on Tony's face after he says "how's Ginny like the car?"!!!!!
If Johhny Sacks see that well: As far as I concerned, Tony , you must wait in the car FOREVER!!!😂 WW3 in Jersey begins 😅
The thing is: It was not even the worst joke Ralph ever told, and not even the worst joke told about Ginny.
It's just that these mobsters are greedy, nasty, paranoid, and petty as fuck. They often die for stupid reasons (not some Michael Corleone-like grand strategy). Laugh at a guy's pratfall on the stairs and you die; imply a guy might enjoy a taste of the sweet kitty & you die; make a joke about someone's wife or daughter being a good lay and you are at least going to get a world class beat down.
Ralph was the kind of guy that was just irritating, and never understood (or cared?) that he was pissing other people off. He was one of those disrespectful guys who is not going to understand what "taking things too far" means, and does not have enough goodwill around the table to defend him when he gets in trouble. Money kept him alive, and only temporarily.
If it was not John or Tony, it was gonna one day be a guy like Paulie, or Christopher, or Phil, or even Bobby Baccala (if he could take down Tony over an insult over Tony's sister, imagine what he would do to a guy like Ralph).
This take on Ralph is 👏🏼
Tony gets a bad rap for sleeping with half the girls on the show. But he showed Ginny nothing but respect!
That’s right. And his crew knew better than to make a remark like that when he was around.
She was just too much woman for him. She was like 2 Irinas. Johnny Sack always felt like he had a threesome.
When Tony got a piece of Ginnys ass, he took two trips
When Tony got a piece of ass from Ginny, he has leftovers
@@manuelestevez3982haha
RIP Denise Borino-Quinn (1964-2010). 46 years old. Just a kid.
Jeez. Liver cancer. Fucking horrible.
Jersey's a small state. If she moves in, she could tip it over
Why is jersey tippy?
No more weight remarks. They’re harmful and offensive!
Obesity played a HUGE role in The Sopranos. It was a BIG deal.
Made in America
@@JustinSeizure someone had to compromise and order those Onion rings
It really fattened up the plot!!
When Johnny found Ginny sneaking those candy bars not only had she lied to him, but he knew she never had the makings of a varsity athlete 😢
Not for nothing - but these “varsity athlete” jokes are getting a little boring and unoriginal. All due respect.
Indeed, what if Ginny's blood type wasn't Ragu? Points to ponder...
Prego not Ragu
Anyone else noticed that Tony always says he wishes everyone was old school, but most of the trouble he runs into is from old school mobsters or old traditions
Yes. Continue.
The irony huh
she was Reubenesque.
She was bbw
My boy Furio loves them bbws.
Reubens, heros, patty melts
@@yeahwhateva419 Like to grab onto something
What if Philly never ate grilled cheese off the radiator instead?
When Ginny Sack goes camping the bears hide THEIR food
Ginny? She's so fat her blood type is ragu
Thanks for repeating the joke
@@mistersonnen848 Hey T, you hear that? I said when Ginny Sack goes camping the bears have to hide THEIR food! Hehehe.
Donnie wasn't a made man, he was an associate
In a glorified crew, I might add.
Hmm, I thought he was at least made. That would have been a bit of a plot hole if John got away with so viciously beating another made guy without provocation over an alleged joke that someone else told
@AegonTheUnlikely Pretty certain they mentioned Donnie wasn't made in the episode? Otherwise it would have definitely caused more issues for John.
Who do you think is keeping Ginny in Butter Brickle
Ralph kept her in Devil Dogs. But, hey. Philly did his duty. Bought that Puerto Rican lady a couple a three sundaes.
@@zplapplapshe was a huwah
Johnny gets whacked, then no NY war when Carmine Sr. dies. That animal Blundetto didn't do whatever happened there, and the Shah doesn't have to turn into a house. Johnny whacks Ralphie, Carmine Sr. still gives the nod, wash, rinse repeat.
M'boy whatever happened there...
Hey Coksucka, what's wrong with being a house???
WHATEVER HAPPENED THERE???
"I should be makin' da beef here!!!"
Next do what if Tony did have the makings of a varsity athlete
RIP Queen Denise Borino ,regardless of candy stash
You'll always be rubenesque to me .
The jokes, whatever happened there
Whatever happened there!
I'll tell you what happened
Well done! 😂😂😂
Do what if my kid brother survived the shooting!
"Whatever happened there.."
@@manbehindthemask2010 WHATEVER HAPPENED!!??
One of my favourite things about The Sopranos is that so many major beefs that spark multi-season long storylines stem from one character make a slight remark or gesture towards another. Tony joking about Junior going south on his GF. Ritchie finding out Tony gave away his jacket to his maids husband. Tony having Phil Parisi wacked for gossiping about him going to therapy. They really drove home how much little things can snowball.
Little Pauly told the joke to Paulie walnuts directly, he in turn relayed the joke to Johnny sack over the phone.
2:18 "Drank" ? You wanna talk like those old Tarzan movies, I'll send you to slip n fall school.
Ginny can be heavy. -JS
Good video, but Donnie K was not a made guy. He lived with his muddah for christ’s sakes
Those Goddamn Deal-A-Meal cards
Another important thing about the joke is Tony prying at Paulie to admit he told John when they’re on the boat and Tony is considering whacking him
We never found out if Ginny liked the car
I thought she was on the Akins ?
Paul absolutely told johnny the actual joke. How else would johnny be able to repeat it otherwise
"What's next? He gets tafuck'ah for a million?!"
Whos he think he is Sir Walter Raleigh? ;)
Ginny Sack clearly had her fair share of compromises given how many grilled cheeses she ate
If Ginny wanted to pursue that lifestyle, she should have done so quietly!
...always with the scenarios
1:58 The scene changes before we see Paulie repeating the joke to John but we later see John repeating the joke pretty much verbatim to Carmine Sr. so Paulie definitely told him everything. 20:18 I don't think it was ever explicitly stated one way or the other but I was always under the impression that Donny K was an "associate" rather than a made guy, otherwise what Johnny did to him would have been a huge deal instead of casually glossed over the way it was. The dude also still lived with his mom.
When Ginny sack goes camping the bears have to hide their food
The Weight is now one of my favorite episodes. Top shelf mob politics throughout! 😍 Also the scene with the Atwell Avenue Boys is so surreally nightmarish. Peak Sopranos imo.
What if Chrissy and Paulie stopped at Roy Rogers?
Notice when Ralph is on the phone with Johnny he has the cord wrapped around his neck, instead of the more comfortable, usual position against his right ear.
it started out as a 95 pound mole, yet when John ever referred to it he called it a 90 pound mole.. he obviously shaved some off the top, almost 5%
I always found it funny they all made jokes about Ginny but it all got blamed on Ralph 😂
Paulie made way more jokes than anyone
Happy to see that we as a community are still weighing in on how we feel about this classic arc
What would've happened had Ralph made the joke when John was boss?
He would have been dead
@@jamesmorant1406 Agreed. But I wonder if Johnny being boss at that time would have resulted in Ralphie not making that joke.
@@erics362 Probably not
@@jamesmorant1406 agreed.
He "allegedly" said what he said to a group of people: "friends of ours".
If I was in the mob of the Sopranos crew I wouldn't say a word other than strictly business talk. These people cant be trusted to take a joke or not misinterpret anything you say. I would be afraid of dying just breathing wrong in front of those people.
i don't get the part where you said chrsitopher discovered the joke at 1:45?
Can someone like actually explain it what am I missing?😂
Count chocoula
Great video man. You should do more what if videos from the sopranos massive potential
@4:30 you cut out the best part! hahah
You know? “What if” is the second lowest form of conversation! …but this video is good!
i think its so insane how one little joke hurt relations between new york and new jersey really shows how fragile the mob world really is
This fat joke story arc felt like a high school gossip drama among girls
For me she is beatiful 🍯
You grab into Ginny Sack, you're fucking hands will disappear!
This wouldn't happen if Paulies mother got some attention.Paulie didn't felt respected at 1st this why everything happened.
Im gonna be honest season 4 really bored me to tears and it made me put this show on the shelf for the last couple years. I really gotta finish it.
All Ginny Sack had to do to solve her weight problems was go on an all you can eat Gabbagool diet. Its a proven game changer.
Anyone remember the episode when Jenny got that 50-pound mole removed from her butt?
Next do what if John had told Tony and Jr that Paulie told him about the joke.
The box of candy and snacks, whatever happened there
Tony needed Johnny
He had him in his pocket, and was essentially the wall between NJ and New York. Carmine wanted to sweep New Jersey continuously throughout his reign, but Johnny was the one who would always vouch for them.
Once Johnny is gone, the REAL problems began. And Tony's reign was short lived after he was gone
I love how Carmine handled it! Back to the money😊
What if That Animal never had his foot run over
Paulie was upset about certain things and would have caused damage another way. The weight joke wasn't a problem until Paulie made it a problem.
Little Pauly is such an underrated little weasel. The only time i ever remember him doing any gangster shit is when him and Glass Joe AKA Benny the bull walked into JTs writers guild class and whacked him over the head with a laptop then procedeed to beat his ass and drag him down to Chrissys car.
Other than that he got thrown out of a window and got pimp slapped with a bottle of Snapple by Eugene 😆😆😆 Lil Paully was fairly worthless when you think about it.
He even got caught by Chrissys father in law when they were robbing his store. 😂 Dude was a terrible gangster.
"Lil Paully grab a bucket and scrub my tires before the dog shit sets in."
I love this storyline but I will never understand why John chose to let it go after catching jenny eating some candy
Ginnys wheat field could feed a small village
The fact that this is a video made me piss myself laughing
Tony would still have to eventually deal with Phil Leotardo.
What if Phil leotardo had mentioned where he was for an undetermined amount of time
What if little Paulie never told Paulie the joke? And what if someone made a joke about Carmela? 🤔
This video was more creative than Spielberg
Its not worth repeating. Let's just agree it was unkind.
ayyy 🤘that's some guys wife!! come on!
What if that animal blundetto didn't kill that little kid Billy. Whatever happened there
DAVID SCATINO APPROVED THIS
Without the joke, Paulie still would have found a way to sow the seeds of chaos. Paulie really is a trash dude and an asset to no one. Habitual troublemaker.
What if Ralphie joked- 'Did you hear about Carmela Soprano's Nose' ...?
That nose is like a natural canopy.
I felt bad for her, she seemed nice and genuinely loved her family
Always with the scenarios
I'm not surprised that john took the joke worse than everyone else would've. He's shown to be the only character who never cheats on his wife and genuinely loves her. 🤷🏻♂️
Mikey Palmice genuinely loved his wife. She said so herself when recounting his last words to her for the local television news.
So "what would have happened if this huge rift didn't happen" is "Things would have been normal and there would not have been a rift"? Thanks, never would have guessed lol
Joke or not, Ralphie still ends up dead due to Pie O My
Don't let all this distract yous from the fact that Phil Leotardo did 20 years in the can.
Truly a marvel level what if right here
Wasn't it a meteor?
@@emmakarlsson4426 They're all meateaters.
If Tony knew all the shit Paulie caused him he wouldn't have even made it through the seventies by the skin of his nuts lol.
Ralph would still die tho
What if The Sopranos was part of the breaking bad universe
I lost all respect for Pauly after this situation. Such a let down. Specially after the lost of Big P.
Hey! Ralph attacks him with a chainsaw, Paulie has to defend himself!
@@sabataskull9661 back stabbing Tony to get in good with New York has nothing to do with Ralph friendo! But yes, Ralph was scum of the highest caliber.
If no joke happened, then the doctors wouldn't have found the 90 # mole on Ginny's ass. He might have saved her life. 😊 Not even a thanks
Do a video about how you see future of Sopranos after tony death like his family diemo crew New York new boss
