Another very small reference is Junior's FBI interrogation, The agent asks Junior "Do you prefer Corrado or Junior" and he responds "Mr. Soprano" this is referenced when Mike was being interrogated by Hank and Gomez ,when Hank asked Mike if he can call him Mike or Michael and he responds "Mr. Ehrmantraut"
“When she was a young Thot” 😂😂😂😂 when you talked about Tony’s dads mistress
When you said junior for some reason I thought Walt Jr and was wondering when that happened 😭
What a coincidence, I just watched PH with your GF!
@@anagramconfirmed1717🤓🥱
isn't Sopranos an older series then breaking bad?
Tony going back for the pizza and Walter White flinging it tells me everything I need to know about both shows!
Yeah, what's that?
@@schrisdellopoulos9244That I need a zesty pie right now
@@schrisdellopoulos9244That the Sopranos is far better
@@mcivor321 both are excellent shows and make my top ten. What’s your ten mate? My ten is
1. The wire (best show ever by far)
2. Game of thrones
3. Mr robot
4. Dark
5. The boys
6. Breaking bad
7. Succession
8. Yellowstone
9. Stranger things
10. Sopranos
Honorable mentions to mad men, better call Saul, and Dexter
@@mcivor321 I think Breaking Bad is better (Better Call Saul too), but it's close.
They're both great shows in their own unique way.
No question about that
True but I just think the Sopranos has more depth and complexity, it's more ambiguous, and has more going on overall. I still love breaking bad though!
Still the 2 best ever IMO
@@24Ruiner the wire.
@@cynicaltheastrocreep4504Better Call Saul is even more ambiguous and morally gray
8:15 "When she was a young thot" the way you said that had me ROLLING 🤣
fr bro I was like ???? LMAO
😂 I was not expecting that had to rewind to make sure I heard him right
I always thought the attempted assassination of Hank in BB was extremely similar to the attempted assassination of Tony in The Sopranos. Both see the protagonist survive against two assassins attacking the character abruptly in their car and dispatching both attackers.
Tony to Walter probably : don't disrespect the pizza!
Christopher in the background: Don't disrespect the pizza parlor
"Without Tony Soprano, we wouldn't have Walter White."
- Vince Gilligan (creator of Breaking Bad)

Bro
contradicting this statement is anti italian discrimination. This meddigan walter white would have putz without the italians.
Yeah I watched the video too
For me, BB was better on my first viewing and wasn’t as interesting on second viewing, as much of the entertainment of the show came from the suspense. The Sopranos, on the other hand, was a much better viewing experience the second time watching it. So much of the humor went over my head on the first viewing. Also, since the Sopranos is more of a character study than a plot driven show, Tony’s character reveals itself more the more you watch him.
Yeah, if I had to put it into a word, I would say that Breaking Bad is much more "popcorny". Comparing the two series finales speaks volumes, they couldn't be any less alike
Wait until your 10th rewatch 😂
I watched The Sopranos almost from the beginning and have been rewatching it since. My first viewing of Breaking Bad years after it ended. I binged it and I enjoyed it, but didn't have a great desire to rewatch. I finally rewatched it and found myself disliking it, specifically Walt. I have no desire to rewatch the show. The Sopranos has so many characters, storylines, and humor to make me want to rewatch.
I've been rewatching BB and am having the exact same experience.
Thats so accurate
"Never make a sequel to a successful series. You're just asking for trouble."
And I present to you Better call Saul.
Also I liked El Camino and Many Saints. Outside of that, damn fine analysis!
“I AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS!!!”
“Take it easy. We’re not making a western here.”
There would be no Breaking Bad without The Sopranos, never forget that. X-Files played a big part in it too
There would be no Godfather without factory workers leaving the factory from 1895. That's a silly argument
@@PolishGod1234 it ain't wrong
@@PolishGod1234 It's absolutely not a silly argument, lol. It's a factual one. If you're so stupid you can't understand how one MAJOR crime drama that massively expanded a genre of tv can influence a later MAJOR crime drama, you shouldn't go around dismissing people's arguments. That's beyond silly. The Sopranos is directly credited as being an influence for Breaking Bad. Bryan Cranston himself said this in an interview. When asked "Would breaking bad have been made without the Sopranos," Cranston answers "I don't think so... Creating a character like Tony Soprano was certainly paving the way to allow the space for someone like Walter White to exist." If you have a brain any larger than a goldfish, you'll know that TV broadcasting has always been a space that has censored its works based on what it considered taboo and what is considered acceptable on TV. It is hugely culturally based. When shows reach critical acclaim pushing those boundaries, it made TV more willing to expand with them. Its critically Acclaimed for its episode "College", which is credited with opening up Television to portraying Anti-Hero main characters committing heinous acts with Tony Soprano strangling a "rat". Even if you don't know or care about television history, literally anyone with comprehension skills above that of a 5th grader can see the major connections between Walter and Tony Soprano, and its obvious from the camera quality that The Sopanos came out first. You're a silly smug caveman with an even sillier argument. You should argue within your own league, like a family guy reddit post or a short bus.
@@thevideocommenter3061 There would be no television if not for electricity, lets not forget
@@StainsStainsStains again, not wrong
"When she was a young thot" got me so good lol
I'm so hype for this vid, I always liked how you bring up Sopranos' influence in your Breaking Bad logs, like the Johnny Sack=Juan Bolsa connection.
Well Johnny sack is more of a character whereas Juan bolsa is more of a plot device.
I love how in the gangster genre one author picks up the baton from another. I see it in Skyler's arc where she admits she is a coward because she won't go to the police.
That’s just how fiction works
@@opaljk4835 I'm pointing to something more specific this genre does. But who cares....What's your favorite show in the genre
Juan Bolsa was a direct tribute to Johnny Sack because he was the guy on the other side (boarder/river) in the com they say it actually translates to Johnny Horse bag as there is no specific Spanish work for Sack
saco, but that is an anglicism lol
Bolsack haha.
@@Jelkitosix666 sack and saco both come from latin saccus, english sack through old french and spanish saco directly through latin
If you love The Sopranos, The Wire and Breaking Bad, you'd probably love The Shield.
Agree lol it's a must watch
Almost all my friends say this. I watched the Shield and it not nearly the quality. It tries way too hard to be edgy and ends up being quite corny. Just my opinion.
Better Call Saul. Enough said
YES! I’m so glad more people are finally mentioning The Shield. It was like the original Breaking Bad but better IMO.
@@michaelkb8783it’s not trying too hard to be edgy. It has a rough exterior but it’s actually a very subtle show and has a lot more depth and complexity that breaking bad.
Great Takes. And...I love the fact that you referenced your 12 days of Christmas song...the new definition of Cringe...something I never EVER wish to hear again . But hey, you owned it and I truly respect that.
I honestly liked them, they were a lighthearted way to end his vids considering how dark season 6 was, and with the hype of Newark on the way.
@@Sernival That was my thinking for a while, but by the time he got to the 5th day...
As someone who initially watched both of these back then also bringing my now 23 Yr old son along for those wonderful evenings I also see the links. Strangely it was The Wire which initially came to England via the late night obscurity of BBC 2 that got me tuned in to something like a new generation of TV 📺.
It was watching HBO's Oz with my mother (when I was waaaaay to young to watch) that opened my eyes to the small Golden Age of Crime Dramas. When the Sopranos came out, it built on the success of Oz, removed the parts that didn't work, and became, IMO, HBO's Magnum Opus.
You missed a couple more connections to Breaking Bad and The Sopranos:
1. Hank barely escapes a hit attempt by the Cousins in his car, just like Tony in Season 1 of The Sopranos.
2. In both shows a main character attempts to drown themselves in the family swimming pool (AJ in The Sopranos, Skyler in BB).
1: Tony very clearly fared better than hank in his assassination
2: skyler wasn't actually trying to drown herself she was trying to make them all think she was so mentally unstable the kids couldn't be around her (and therefore walt) anymore.
Nah, The Wire is the best show because no one in the show sang Happy Birthday Mr. President
😂
Kino loves The Sopranos and Breaking Bad. He ALWAYS had the makings of a varsity RUclipsr. 😎
For me the common theme in both shows was that how the sons were victims because of the main characters.
Throughout Sopranos and Breaking Bad I felt sorry for AJ and Walter Jr.(watch for how both characters have the same style in their names).
And also we can go on the "Sons pay for their fathers sin" line of thought
Tony going back for the pizza is so funny, he even seems like he’s pretending to be mad at the pizza too so it doesn’t seem like a “ooo don’t mind if I do” kind of thing 😂
7:25 In New Jersey, you don't waste pizza because you don't want to disrespect the pizza parlor.
People dont like "El Camino"? I thought it was great
For real. I thought it was a nice send off for jesse
A fine video. A great addition to add under your subspecies.
The thing with breaking bad is it came in the middle of a writer's strike and after knowing how some of crucial stuff was changed due to actor's performance it seems a bit surprise that breaking bad was so good
Gustavo experiencing Max's murder was directed the same way as the scene where Silvio avoids being shot by Phil's crew in the restaurant.
Also Hank and Tony have something in common: a sturdy stocky guy with panic attacks who managed to survive the hit on him using only his vehicle and the weapon taken away from one of the two attackers.
And there was a scene where the protagonsit's wife receives an advice 'Grab your kids and scram.' in a confidential conversation... And she doesn't.
Kino, I've been a Sopranos fan since I was 13.
In 2001. It was just after the third season. I watched the remainder of the series on air til the controversial ending (I thought my friend's satellite went out until I saw the credits roll).
I started Breaking Bad in 2011, just as the fourth season was wrapping up on AMC (I started from the pilot, though. A friend was over and recommended it as I scrolled past it on Netflix). I followed the show from Season 5 in 2012, til it's ending in 2013, then BCS from beginning to end.
I've been watching your channel since you were about halfway through Season 1 of Sopranologs, and followed ever since.
I'd like to hear how you discovered The Sopranos and when. It is my all-time favorite series along with Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul, and more recently The Wire.
Keep up the good work!
uploaded 9 minutes before i have to go to work thank you kino
Tu canal es alucinante . Y tus reflexiones sorprendentemete asombrosas y profundas .
Sólo quería darte las gracias y felicitarte por un trabajo brutal 😎
the chad skyler vs the virgin carmella
carmela is way more based than skylar
My favorite RUclipsr talking about my two favorite tv shows
Probably my 2 favorite, but I need to do a rewatch on The Wire and Mad Men because they are both contenders as well. BCS also ranks highly.
What would be your top ten? I’d go
1. The wire (by far the best show ever made)
2. Game of thrones
3. Mr robot
4. Dark
5. The boys
6. Breaking bad
7. Succession
8. Stranger things
9. Sopranos
10. Mad men/better call Saul
I'd argue against Mad Men being a competitor.
@@raymondsims7042the wire would be best non fantasy imo
@raymondsims7042 the boys and Mr robot are above breaking bad what?!
@@gwensstepbro4966hey man I’m all for hearing different opinions about my list, but drop your list first!🤝
Also Kino, concrning the cancer Dr that "Dr Kennedy" played on Breaking Bad, in a few scenes, incl. the one u used in this video, there is a bear statue in the scene with him. (Obviously a shout out to Tony)👍
the Juan bolsa Johnny sack reference is so good. so subtle and intentional but yet you dont even catch it
bless you for working in a reference to Cracked's late, great After Hours.
Here’s one, Kino: I think Vince Gilligan got the name Salamanca from The Sopranos. In the Sopranos episode Sentimental Education, Tony Blundetto’s girlfriend mentions on the phone to him, they delivered the Salamanca fabric. I’ve never heard that name anywhere else but on The Sopranos and Breaking Bad. Has to be a connection!
Salamanca is a place in spain
This was a “FUN” connecting both shows👍😊
8:15
"when she was a young thot" 🤣
There are also two families involved in criminal activities whose family members gradually get killed off throughout the course of the series (Aprile and Salamanca).
2:56 Both of them took a trip to Belize
Being involved in other types of arts, what comes forward for me here is that all great art imitates, sometimes by coincidence! The Sopranos has numerous references to the Godfather Films and Goodfellas itself!
There’s also the airport switcheroo that both series do in the second season
Awesome upload!
I'm the mother fucking fucking one who knocks was too good.
lol great outro kino well done
They both have characters named "Junior". They're both bald. Soprano is the highest vocal range, while Walter White makes a product that gets you high. They both mention The Godfather. Tony had a melanoma while Walt had stage 3 lung cancer (very similar death rates). Both characters are considered extremely lucky. Walter and Tony both like classic rock. They both have swimming pools. Holly is a type of flower. Flowers grow in Meadows. It's endless.
Tony isn't bald though, he Has hair
When done breaking bad mention the godfather? I only recall scarface being mentioned
@@mappingshaman5280Saul references the Godfather multiple times, like when he called Walt Fredo or asked if they should give Bogdan an offer he couldn't refuse.
Bravo Vince, you have the makings of a varsity athlete.
Both shows have an episode of the mentor-mentee unfortunately bonding over disposing of a body in a bathtub (Ralph in Sopranos, Emilio in Breaking Bad).
Tony's first on-screen murder is the strangulation of an informant. Walter White's first on-screen murder (assuming Emilio Koyama's death should be considered self-defense rather than murder) is the strangulation of a man we later find out is an informant.
Here’s a small bit that’s interesting, Season 2, Episode 10 of Breaking Bad titled “Over” was directed by Phil Abraham. Abraham was a long-time cinematographer for The Sopranos, and even directed Season 6, Episode 15 “Remember When”. That’s kinda interesting, I guess.
Both great shows, will never be surpassed by anyone
how ironic, I didnt watch either one until recently. LOVE IT
Again with the scenarios!
10:57 I have pictured Paulie Wallnuts saying: eh during his shoelace rant
this is slightly off-topic but it's always nice to see michael swaim pop up in new content.
Another one i noticed recently
in sopranos tony talking about how paulie annoys him in S6 E15 saying "Yap-bub-bup-bup-bup-bup-bup"
and in bracking bad Don Eladio mocks hector salamanca ringing his bell in S6 E9 saying "ding ding ding - ding ding ding"
Sopranos has the genius of its multi level writing. Situations that make you feel 3 or more different emotions at once. BB is heavily detailed and suspenseful in its delivery but is limited by its topic. But one example of where BB does it really well is with Janes death.
The only other show that is even close to The Sopranos as far as character development goes is the Game of Thrones first 4 seasons and The Sopranos is still better
@@tidepride86 what’s your top ten tv shows? Mike are
1. The wire (best show ever hands down)
2. Game of thrones
3. Mr robot
4. Dark
5. The boys
6. Breaking bad
7. Succession
8. Yellowstone
9. Stranger things
10. Sopranos
Honorable mentions are
Mad Men
Better call Saul
Dexter
Breaking Bad's episode 5 season 1 has a birthday party for Elliot where he gets Stratocaster. This is almost certainly a reference to Hughs birthday party in the Sopranos. Tony's gift him a Beretta shotgun but before Hugh can open the case Finn jokingly says "a stratocaster?". In this episode Walt references someone's Members Only jacket when reminiscing with Elilot, likely another Sopranos reference.
I found a lot of similarities between Phil leotardo and uncle Jack. Both were main villains that only came to power in the last season or so, and the climax of each movie involved the main character successfully (indirectly) killing them.
Also, both Jack and Phil were absolutely vile and inhumane in their ways of leadership and disregard for human life
They should make another sequel movie to Breaking bad where its just hank sitting on the toilet.
Or a show from Hank's perspective but idk if that would work considering that Dean Norris aged a bit
That thumbnail goes hard
Well said!
“Don’t disrespect the chicken joint!”
Made the pizza connection soon as I saw the scene in breaking bad
Also both "Pine Barrens" and "4 Days Out" were a lot similar.
I don’t think one is better than the other. They are both very different . They easily the top 2 shows
another connection is better call saul taking the same song they used at the end of season 6 ep 4 in the sopranos
Theyre both gold. Ones just ivory and ones just ebony.
Damn never made the connection t all these mirrorings even tho i remember them all lol good video
I always picked up on a few phrases said through out the show! Even some in better call Saul
first time watching the sopranos was such a chore (especially the 1st season) but with bb that shit had me hooked from pilot to finale.
I would’ve loved to see a Tony soprano and a Saul Goodman interaction
Yassssss Saul would’ve been a made guy fr
Good watch, very observant. You ask me, the three crowned jewels of Drama TV would go to Sopranos, Breaking Bad and Succession. Maybe throw The Wire in there too.
i watched the sopranos after breaking bad and better call saul but i see a lot in common like chris and tony and walt and jesse for example
Some fans tend to keep arguing over who did what best but it ends up taking away from the enjoyment of both. We should be able to recognise the strengths in each show. The best part is that we now have all of these incredible shows to watch because of the massive influence and greatness of Sopranos.
7:25 all that in one take too!
Pauly and Christopher getting lost in the snow. Walter and Jesse getting lost in the desert.
Tony tries to get better and Walt just gives up, after they both pass out
The most well written character in TV history was Andy Sipowicz. Unfortunately the writers of NYPD Blue didn’t know when to stop like the makers of Breaking Bad and the Sopranos did. Andy was not an anti hero and his arc was the opposite of Walter White and Tony Soprano but it was not a straight line like theirs was. Vick Mackey from the Shield was another anti hero in the same vein as TS and WW.
And both shows made a movie I could've gone without lol
i never knew the sopranos and breaking bad where so close together ive only recently started watching the sopranos i was also a bit late to breaking bad but they felt so far apart
Could maybe consider doing 6 feet under? Also an amazing series, with a phenomenal ending ❤
El Camino is an epilogue, which is not the same as a sequel. It serves to show just how Jesse was able to get out of New Mexico rather than it being left ambiguous, as I’m sure a number of people would not be happy with how ambiguous Jesse’s fate is by the time Better Call Saul ended and nothing concrete was ever shown as to what happened, be it if he was arrested or was able to escape custody. While El Camino may not have been necessary to make, Vince Gilligan has even said as much, I think in hindsight it’s something that will be more appreciated with as time goes on. Don’t know if The Many Saints of Newark will be more loved and approached as time goes on though.
I just watched The Sopranos with my GF for her first viewing, and now we're watching BB. We should've watched BB first because The Sopranos is written and produced soooo much better lol
I think you’re exaggerating in fact i would actually say breaking bad is slightly better written and produced 😂 Both are top ten shows ever, but breaking bad is slightly better to me
@@raymondsims7042what you would say is wrong tho
I disagree. There are some heavily dated moments in Sopranos, yet both are quality shows that dont top one another. More so they are of a similar quality just down the line
Idk if i would say that. The two are just going for very different things in terms of tone and pacing. Breaking Bad is much more dramatic, intense, fast paced and is a lot more unrealistic then The Sopranos, but its by design. Both are expertly crafted and nearly perfect at what they're trying to accomplish so in my opinion its more of a preference on what you like more.
@@Danny-dn5pj go watch BrBa again and u will realize how slow eps are (mostly in seasons 1-3).
I’m not super big on horror movies and it kinda seems like you’re not either judging by the shows you review but you should definitely watch Talk To Me if you haven’t and it would be pretty sweet if you did a video on it
i think David Chase might have a lawsuit case for plagiarism lol
The last thing both main characters saw was what they loved most. The last thing Tony saw was Meadow. The last thing Walt saw was a chemical tank.
Gustavo Fring did 20 years in dah can, not a peep!
I wasn't aware that sjylers happy birthday thing was based on marilyn manroe
It's very interesting because I've always wondered how much of a connection the two series have. Hello from Ukraine!
Your forgot they both have a guy piss in the pool of the head boss in each show
What was that western show that was mentioned? Is it any good?
it doesnt matter if a connection is intentional or not
The final scene of Breaking Bad 6A is shot very similar to the final scene of The Sopranos, both are designed to put you on the edge of your seat
Best Shows:
1) The Soprano’s
2) Breaking Bad
3) Better Call Saul
Both shows had the a relative of the main characters (Christopher & Hank) get an attempted hit by two people in a parking lot with one of them getting killed by (Christopher & Hank) and the other one meeting their fate an episode later. Both end up in hospital
One had shineboxes the other didnt it was some real greasebal shit
Definitely going to need a part 2 from the comment section
I'd actually love to see a crossover between breaking bad and the sopranos. That would be so dope. Obviously impossible now but a fan can dream lol
