Most shocking death was the one of Jacky Jr.. Not because of how he died but because of the fact that Vito was able to silently sneak behind him without being noticed at all.
Yeah Richie was a hypocrite (as were most of the characters), in how he cautioned Christopher about laying hands on Adrianna, saying if Chrissy wants to do that he has to give her his last name first. Richie was only engaged to Janice as he struck her, and she shoots him to death lol Ralph was definitely a love-hate relationship. His jokes were hilarious, but he was a loose canon.
I agree with you 100% dude. They are both two evil for their own good especially Ralphie beating some dumb stripper prostitute to death in the parking lot there was no reason for that. And then he killed the horse on top of it for insurance money.
Especially that total butthole Ritchie after what he did to that club owner with his car and then Tony's sister. Was sooo happy she's the one who did Ritchie. OMG that was so badass cool .
Adrianna’s death physically hurt me to watch. She was, by far, the most pure, genuinely kind character in the entire "family" and hearing her beg for her life made you wish you could do something, ANYTHING to keep her alive.
true she came across as a nice person, but she still played a part in and benefitted from the mob hence her facing jail time. So she wasn't all that innocent. Mob life + snitching = death. PERIOD 💯
@@righttoleft7936 We saw a hint of Silvio's true colors with how he treated Tracee back in her (equally tragic) death episode. Silvio was loyal, but treated women like objects (which is probably why Tony left him in charge of the Bing).
Adrianna and Bobby hit me the hardest. Tony's was the most cryptic yet chilling. Everything going to black at the end made Bobby's ominous words foreshadow coming true: "You probably don't even hear it when it happens, right?"
AJ'S girlfriend set Tony Up. There is a picture of her in Butchie's salon, She was there at the Soprano home and heard the plan to go to Holstens, she had a big grin when it was said. There is a video on RUclips that explains this theory.
And the way they shot Adriana’s death with us having a brief glimpse of hope that she got away and then flashing to her and Sil talking about how Chris will get over the trauma of losing her metaphorically….genius
The single most event that totally pissed me off was how Ralphie Killed that poor girl that became pregnant from him and tossed her body in the weeds at the end of the parking lot behind the Bada Bing.
Nothing will EVER top the intensity of Pussy’s death. Maybe one of the most intense scenes in cinema history. No music. Just the sound of the boat rocking back and forth.
@@yuriboyka6131 yeah it may be "cinematic" but its simply not cinema by simple fact of definition and the fact that it is TV; Damned good TV but its TV.
Tony didn’t kill Chris over his baby girl, that was an excuse to justify the real reason of killing Chrissy: Chrissy a huge liability to Tony, and he saw him as the #1 person to snitch on him. Pay attention to the dream he had after Chrissy’s death, his overall attitude towards his death, and the fact he not even once talked to Chrissy’s wife, it’s obvious.
I don't think even that was the top reason. Chris was wearing the Cleaver hat during that scene and Tony never got over the depiction of his character and probably never fell for Chris's lazy attempt to cover it up.
Going through the entire series right now, got 1 episode left. Bobby was devastating, he was an actual nice guy and his death made me actually feel bad for Janice!
Yeah I would say he was the one guy on the show that I really didn’t want to be killed off besides Tony. By season five I think Bobby became my second favorite mob guy on the show. He would still do what he had to do but he wasn’t a jerk to people and he was the nicest member of the mafia on that show.
Nice guy? He was an enforcer(tough guy that laid beatings on people who didn't pay up) And if he wanted to be made, he had to kill someone None.....NONE of these characters had redeeming traits. Christopher was less sociopathic but still a cold killer. He let them kill Adriana.
Steve Schirripa lives in my neighborhood and likes to drink at the same restaurant as I do. We’ve shared a couple of drinks many times over the last 16 years and this guy has THE craziest stories about his life in Las Vegas before The Sopranos that you’ve ever heard. These stories make The Sopranos seem like a bedtime story for toddlers. Absolutely insane.
@@jamesanthony5681 To be honest, he told soooo many insane stories involving hookers, drugs, gangsters and con men, it all kind of blurred into one. The fact they we were drinking doesn’t help.
I was so happy they both got killed. That fight between Ralph and Tony was brutal. Spraying Tony in the eyes with bug spray…. Ralph was a piece of sh*t. Killing that poor stripper, and burning the horse… etc Nobody deserved it more than Ralph. Richie crushing Beansie between two cars made him extra hated by the guys.
That was honestly when Ralph should have been killed imho, the heat that would have brought on them if anyone had seen that could have brought the whole orginization down real fast considering it was at Tony's night club. Not to mention killing someone at that night club (made or not) was blatantly disrespectful to Tony and showed Ralph thought he was above Tony and Tony's rules.
The one that hit me the most was when Ralph killed the stripper. It was just like a "what the actual fuck?" moment. It was just too much. This wasn't due to disrespect for the family/an informant or anything like that it was due to ego, to send a message to the guys that I got it. She was made an example of but she was just a young girl with no other options. Truly the most fucked up scene, she didn't deserve it.
HOW do you leave out the death of that poor stripper, Tracy? (killed by Ralph). THAT was one of the most devastating deaths on the show. It wasn't a mobster death but still, that poor girl being beat to death by Ralph really made it hard to watch that episode! ALSO Ralph's kid got shot by an arrow from playing with his friend, the NEIGHBOR, not his brother!!
Exactly, the best scene that represents this is the one where paulie and chris kill a waiter who was complaining about getting a 16$ tip over a 1200$ dinner. That scene is so violent and cruel and yet so funny it's crazy how it twists your mind, you feel so bad for the waiter and yet the behaviour of paulie and chris is so funny
Miami Vice was good, but the one episode that made me sit up and take notice was, *Out Where the Buses Don't Run* . Season 2 I believe, with Dire Straits at the end. Wish there were more that had that had kind of character and story.
What exactly was "uncomfortable to watch" about the fight between Tony and Ralph? It was one of the most beautiful moments of the entire series. I think Tony went too easy on him.
For me, I would say Johnny Sacks death was the worst. Simply because his story was so heartbreakingly realistic. he died due to health issues not blazing gunfire. A close second to that was Adrianna's demise.
A fate that awaited him, with or w/o being "pinched", similar to how Jackie Aprile died. At least the Feds let his wife and daughter freely visit him as he wasted away. In real life, I doubt that happens much, a dying prisoner MIGHT, might be granted humane release to die in a hospice and at least have family with him in his last few weeks, but, a Federal judge isn't bound to do so. It would have been even more sad to have him die in the prison hospital ward, ALONE.
Good video, I remember every one of those deaths. The only critique I have is the video didn't show why Christopher Moltisanti chose crime life over Adrianna. Christopher Moltisanti was toying with the idea of leaving the mob with Adrianna but, after seeing a guy who was about his age with a family getting into an old beat-up car, he realized that in order to maintain the lifestyle he's become accustomed to, he would have to continue to be a wise guy.
He took an oath to the mob. When you become a "made" man you promise to forsake everything in your life except the mob. Once Christopher found out Adrianna was talking with the feds, he had no choice but to distance himself from her or he too would have been whacked. He did what any "soldier" in the mob would do.
Christopher was too into the life to ever consider going straight. Plus he always had the H Chipper hanging around his neck. Most of those guys seemed very unwilling to be legit, they'd rather make money off of other people's costly vices which they could exploit. The only guy I believe really wanted out for good reasons was Eugene. How'd that work out for him? In for a penny, in for a pound.
Beansie got what was coming to him. 1. He has a short memory 2. Richie put him in action 3. He told Richie he would step up 4.he did not offer soft drinks of choice with that veal parm. = total disrespect
Ralph was to the Sopranos the same thing that Micah Bell was to the Van Der Linde gang. Except in Ralph's case he started to show remorse but maybe too late.
Tony had a sweet face hiding a monster. R.I.P. James Gandolfino. They left out the scene where he takes his daughter to a college for an interview and while she was gone he strangled an enemy with a wire.
It's sad how little the FBI actually cared about the people they forced into informing. They didn't care whether or not they lived or died, just as long as they kept the information pouring in. In their eyes, everyone is an asset and everyone is expendable.
Not always true. Most of the time C.I.'s are pulled fast when intelligence even hints at trouble. C.I. has no choice. There is a process involved, emergency code. Adriana could have had a team of agents be there when Silvio came to pick her up. BOOM Silvio locked up. Then he is flipped. She lives.
@@staten84 they're an illegal and criminal organization. They do a lot of illegal and shady shit. They should either be consolidated with the other intelligence agencies for compliance and regulatory purposes or they should just be outright abolished imo.
Very well put together. Big Pussy's desth was the hardest one for me. I really felt for him and also when he made the guys laugh one last time. Heartbreaking
He was told not to deal heroin did so anyway and when caught was willing to give information to the government that would have put his friends away for life
@@fritzforsthoefel8031The fact that he disobeyed a direct order and the fact that you are not meant to deal drugs at all in the mob would have been enough to get him killed anyway.
The intensity and sadness of the scene where they shoot puss is unmatched. There was no music, just the rocking sound from the boat. The Intense stare from tony with tears in his eyes into the fear of puss' eyes.
If Tony had a brain, he could have had Pussy spy for him, feed the mut's at the FBI all bullshit and learn what they were up to. Philly /South Jersey boys did this to the N.J. State Police for 4/5 years. Saw North Korean's do the same to the C.I.A.in the late 70's. Double Agents do work.
@@gtnick86 No real honor anymore. Hold the life of his wife over his head. Scaro did this in Philly and South Jersey. He was 5 steps ahead of all the law enforcement agencies.
Christopher's death hit me the hardest because: 1. I think he would have been the most important ally to Tony during the "War" with NY that took place in the final episodes. 2. The way he died, by Tony's hands. After all, Christopher gave up for Tony.
I recently watched the show and vaguely knew about the famous final scene, so I knew what was coming for Tony. Tony was absolutely reckless at times--especially in the last season--and I figured this was partially done to soften the blow of Tony's death later. When he killed Chrissy, I thought "Yeah T fucking deserves what's coming to him."
Ralph’s son Justin was actually shot by a friend, not a brother he doesn’t have. Also, Ralph had Vito take out Jackie Jr., not Tony, who took a hands-off approach to the act and left it solely in Ralph’s hands.
The Sopranos was brilliant on several levels. When Leotardo's skull is crushed, there is this restrained yet slapstick humor in onlookers revulsion at what they see.
Bobby was the most devastating! BUT I didn’t want Christopher to die either and I CRIED for both!! Didn’t care for Richie or Ralph at all. Oh and Ade 😭😭 cried for that one too
Chris was garbage. Got what he deserved. Only sad thing about that scene is how it was Tony doing it that understated way. But also weird how Tony ends up killing both his close relatives in sort of mercy killings. He killed Tony B to spare him from Phil torturing him to death. Then he kills Christopher to spare Christopher the pain of his addictions, and also to spare himself and others from Christopher’s fuckups.
The fact that no one considers the innocent truck driver, or the waiter or the dude getting mail. Those were the most devastating deaths everyone else knew what they were in.
One of Ralph’s sons struck the other with an arrow?! Ralph had one son, the one that was struck. The other kid was his sons friend. The other kids parents was at the hospital and Ralphie attacked them
The word "devastating" is definitely not the right word to describe some of these deaths. The audience was just waiting and hoping for some of these to happen. Especially Richie.
They weren’t both Ralph’s son’s. The one who got an arrow in him was his son! The other was his sons mate. I don’t care if he’s got a hundred kids with arrows in their heads - Paulie Gualtieri
Some errors: - Richie’s kid was never confirmed to be gay. He was a dancer, and Janice said “and so what if he does turn out to be gay?” - Ralphie had Vito kill Jackie Jr, not Tony - Adriana was told Christopher tried committing suicide, not that he was in an accident - Are you sure Phil spent 20 years in prison? I don’t think that was ever mentioned
There’s one fate worse than death that’s not mentioned here : uncle Junior’s drifting in dementia. I watched the series a long time ago but that last visitation scene from Tony is still vivid in my mind, especially these few last words they exchange, and Tony as the boss of the family, in the smooth peace of this nursing home, betrays the Omerta and commits the worse sin of the mafia by mentionning to his uncle how he used to be part of "that thing that’s ours", and Uncle Jun blankly replies "oh, I was part of that ?" and you can tell by his quiet astonished tone that something remote echoes somewhere deep within in his broken mind, but he has definitely become unable to remember what it is...
Louis Lombardi-every time I see that dude, that scene with him and “Big Puthy” in the car immediately pops into my brain…that lisp made his character! 😄😄😄
Adriana's murder as she begged for her life was so gut wrenching. I had always had a crush on both the character and Drea de Matteo, and the last line she got was, "Please, no..." Brutal.
I got the whole box set of this show. It didn’t really surprise me when Christopher died, he was already having lots of deadly turmoil with Tony previously anyway when he tried to kill him during the whole Adriana situation
People were sad Richie died?! I was more surprised when Janice did it but was like "okay fair enough, thats pretty undignified. Killed by Janice Soprano"
The thing about Bobby he was a sympathetic character right up to when he murdered an innocent man. It was hit first murder which is strange because he was considered a made man and to be made you have to "make your bones" which he didn't until after being made.
As much as Chris was a loose cannon, he tried to rectify his demons by going clean, and trying to maintain a good position in the mob circle. It can easily be forgotten how terrible the people were around him, especially Tony. Never supportive of his sobriety, manipulate him (with the whole adriana and him thing grabbing a bite to eat lol), Chris wanted some general respect from Tony as a human being, but he knew he would never get it. Its a crippling 'family' to be in.
@@ftniceberg874 It’s fiction and don’t act like you have never found complicated characters likable on any show ever, so cut out this holier then thou. Entertainment is supposed to be an escape from reality.
Lets be honest. The most shocking was Tony. I worked at Comcast the night the show aired and when the screen went black our lines blew up with people thinking the cable had gone out.
Adriana's death was tough to watch. She was a sweetheart who loved her Chris and was loyal and supportive of him to the very end. Bobby Jr.'s death is runner up. He was like the Winnie the Pooh of gangsters. He could be a stone cold killer if he really had to, but for the most part, he would rather be a selfless family man who avoids violence if at all possible
I couldn’t stand Richie. But David proval is one hell of an actor. It takes serious acting skills to make your character so believable that everyone hates him.
Which death hit you the hardest?
my 47 year old brotha's
Tonys Sopranos Death at the restaurant
Adrianna and Ralph
AretnaP 3 ...whatever happened there
Big Pussy's.
Most shocking death was the one of Jacky Jr.. Not because of how he died but because of the fact that Vito was able to silently sneak behind him without being noticed at all.
Janice murdering Richie was way more shocking to me.
@Carl Lataille Still less shocking than a 300 lbs+ hitman who just materialised out of thin air behind your back :D
Vito had the makings of a Varsity Athlete. LMFAO
Hes a come from behind type of guy
The first person who commented on this apparently read your first sentence and stopped .... Lol
The saddest death is when Christufuh sat on Cozette, Adrianna’s beloved dog.
haha str8 up. everyone deserved what they got. that poor dog did nothing
“ Christufuh “ … LOL. . She loved that big nosed sociopath. Adriana was one of the most tragic characters on the show.
@@YouAreRightlAmWrong she shouldn't have sat on the furniture. was asking for it.

Yeah Richie was a hypocrite (as were most of the characters), in how he cautioned Christopher about laying hands on Adrianna, saying if Chrissy wants to do that he has to give her his last name first. Richie was only engaged to Janice as he struck her, and she shoots him to death lol
Ralph was definitely a love-hate relationship. His jokes were hilarious, but he was a loose canon.

Phils brought a smile to mine as well!
Richie's death was so satisfying. The one moment I genuinely liked Janice.
I hated to see Bobby get killed, for the most part he was actually a nice kind hearted guy and quite likable.
Bobby never killed anyone until Tony ordered him to out of spite after their fist fight in the cabin. Bobby was a teddy bear.
Bobby was a sensitive Sally weak and pathetic

Gotta admit that they made things spicy. Memorable villains, for sure.
They were both pieces of shit. The only thing that Tony likely missed about Ralphie was that he was his best "earner".

How a show can be so utterly violent and hilarious at the same time shows the genius of the writers. My favorite show of all time next to Miami Vice.

I CRIED WHEN BOBBY WAS CLIPPED! HE WAS A GREAT FATHER AND A GREAT HUSBAND.

Johnny was probably the only one out of all of them with real class. He never cheated on his wife, no goomad

Johnny sac was a family man and just wanted to live to see his grandbabies.. Idk why but him just fading out gets me in the feels
A fate that awaited him, with or w/o being "pinched", similar to how Jackie Aprile died. At least the Feds let his wife and daughter freely visit him as he wasted away.

I think a fitting death for Johhny Sack would have been for his wife to eat him along with a dozen candy bars.
He knew what business he was in
My estimation of Johnny Sac as a man plummeted
I've only recently watched the whole series. Don't know why I left it so long to do so. It's epic. Amazing.

The Adrianna’s death was the number one most tragic death. The Sopranos is by far the best show and filmed entertainment EVER made.
Pussy's death is pretty close but yeah Adriana's is definitely number one
Tony had a sweet face hiding a monster. R.I.P. James Gandolfino. They left out the scene where he takes his daughter to a college for an interview and while she was gone he strangled an enemy with a wire.
Actually, an informant who was living under the Witness Protection Program. Tony ran across him by chance and recognized him.
He killed an informant who was in witness protection.
He fulfilled a standing order...kill a "rat". He saw one and did his "duty". Ruthless? Yes, but that was his BUSINESS.
Yeah that scene was brutal as well.
One of my favorite episodes
It's sad how little the FBI actually cared about the people they forced into informing. They didn't care whether or not they lived or died, just as long as they kept the information pouring in. In their eyes, everyone is an asset and everyone is expendable.
Not always true. Most of the time C.I.'s are pulled fast when intelligence even hints at trouble. C.I. has no choice. There is a process involved, emergency code. Adriana could have had a team of agents be there when Silvio came to pick her up. BOOM Silvio locked up. Then he is flipped. She lives.
Not much has changed. They're destroying lives for ideas now.
Like real life
How is it sad? That’s the their job to bring down murdering crime families
@@staten84 they're an illegal and criminal organization. They do a lot of illegal and shady shit. They should either be consolidated with the other intelligence agencies for compliance and regulatory purposes or they should just be outright abolished imo.
Very well put together. Big Pussy's desth was the hardest one for me. I really felt for him and also when he made the guys laugh one last time. Heartbreaking
He was told not to deal heroin did so anyway and when caught was willing to give information to the government that would have put his friends away for life
@@fritzforsthoefel8031The fact that he disobeyed a direct order and the fact that you are not meant to deal drugs at all in the mob would have been enough to get him killed anyway.
I was far more upset about Adriana’s dog dying than over half the characters on this list
the dog returns in a flash back from beyond with Adreana to Tony's wife Carmella
The intensity and sadness of the scene where they shoot puss is unmatched. There was no music, just the rocking sound from the boat. The Intense stare from tony with tears in his eyes into the fear of puss' eyes.
If Tony had a brain, he could have had Pussy spy for him, feed the mut's at the FBI all bullshit and learn what they were up to. Philly /South Jersey boys did this to the N.J. State Police for 4/5 years. Saw North Korean's do the same to the C.I.A.in the late 70's. Double Agents do work.
@@davidwadsworth8982 its more of an honour thing. Breaking oath is punishable by death. Sidenote - if Puss has flipped already, how can he be trusted?
@@gtnick86 No real honor anymore. Hold the life of his wife over his head. Scaro did this in Philly and South Jersey. He was 5 steps ahead of all the law enforcement agencies.
Christopher's death hit me the hardest because: 1. I think he would have been the most important ally to Tony during the "War" with NY that took place in the final episodes. 2. The way he died, by Tony's hands. After all, Christopher gave up for Tony.
THISSSS
I recently watched the show and vaguely knew about the famous final scene, so I knew what was coming for Tony. Tony was absolutely reckless at times--especially in the last season--and I figured this was partially done to soften the blow of Tony's death later. When he killed Chrissy, I thought "Yeah T fucking deserves what's coming to him."
@@Burzy109 💯
Chris would have just been hit by NY instead of Bobby. He would have died anyway
His drug addiction made him a liability
Bobby was the toughest death for me! Everyone liked Bobby, to me the most likable characters on the whole series.
Worst part IMO
Bobby's promotion made him a bigger target 😢
Ralph’s son Justin was actually shot by a friend, not a brother he doesn’t have. Also, Ralph had Vito take out Jackie Jr., not Tony, who took a hands-off approach to the act and left it solely in Ralph’s hands.
Thanks for explaining everything to us, without you I don't know what we would have done
The thing with Christoper was he was already dead. Tony just hastened it.
We don't know that for sure and Tony definitely wanted him dead regardless
When Homie head got Crushed and the cripple dude hobbled and said “Oh SHIT!” I was DONE!!😂😂😂😂
The Sopranos was brilliant on several levels. When Leotardo's skull is crushed, there is this restrained yet slapstick humor in onlookers revulsion at what they see.
Great video. It's MUCH better than the title suggests.
Eugene pontecervo hit me the most. Geezer just hit the jackpot and STILL ended up offing himself.
Bobby was the most devastating! BUT I didn’t want Christopher to die either and I CRIED for both!! Didn’t care for Richie or Ralph at all. Oh and Ade 😭😭 cried for that one too
Chris was garbage. Got what he deserved. Only sad thing about that scene is how it was Tony doing it that understated way. But also weird how Tony ends up killing both his close relatives in sort of mercy killings. He killed Tony B to spare him from Phil torturing him to death. Then he kills Christopher to spare Christopher the pain of his addictions, and also to spare himself and others from Christopher’s fuckups.
"She was a ho-wah!"
-Ralph
Phil's death was the most heartwarming piece of television I've seen.
Saved me a ton of time, thank you. The Buscemi blast shocked me the most.
The fact that no one considers the innocent truck driver, or the waiter or the dude getting mail. Those were the most devastating deaths everyone else knew what they were in.
Two death scenes in the Sopranos Tracy's and Adriana's, both outstanding performances.
One of Ralph’s sons struck the other with an arrow?! Ralph had one son, the one that was struck. The other kid was his sons friend. The other kids parents was at the hospital and Ralphie attacked them
Adriana's death is definitely the saddest by far
Well put together. Thanks 👌👍👍
The word "devastating" is definitely not the right word to describe some of these deaths. The audience was just waiting and hoping for some of these to happen. Especially Richie.
They weren’t both Ralph’s son’s. The one who got an arrow in him was his son! The other was his sons mate.
I don’t care if he’s got a hundred kids with arrows in their heads - Paulie Gualtieri
LOVE Big Brother, Tony! My brother was the same way. He died at 20 in the Viet Nam war. I love and miss you, Richie.
Adriana's death was the most heartbreaking death I've seen in any piece of media.
I enjoyed it.
Never watched the series so glad you gave commentary and put everything in perspective.
A small error in your description of Ralph's death. His son was injured by a FRIEND. Ralph only had one kid.
Also, Tony did order the hit on Jackie Jr., That was Ralph’s call
Ritchie was actually hilarious. 1, the bullet hole changes position and 2 he's clearly breathing when Tony walked in.
You can also see the hand of someone under the table pushing his chair to cause him to fall backward.
@@skullkrusher4078 Seriously????
Some errors:
- Richie’s kid was never confirmed to be gay. He was a dancer, and Janice said “and so what if he does turn out to be gay?”
- Ralphie had Vito kill Jackie Jr, not Tony
- Adriana was told Christopher tried committing suicide, not that he was in an accident
- Are you sure Phil spent 20 years in prison? I don’t think that was ever mentioned
Phil said it himself
@@dacharizard i think they're joking about how often phil brags about it in the show
There’s one fate worse than death that’s not mentioned here : uncle Junior’s drifting in dementia. I watched the series a long time ago but that last visitation scene from Tony is still vivid in my mind, especially these few last words they exchange, and Tony as the boss of the family, in the smooth peace of this nursing home, betrays the Omerta and commits the worse sin of the mafia by mentionning to his uncle how he used to be part of "that thing that’s ours", and Uncle Jun blankly replies "oh, I was part of that ?" and you can tell by his quiet astonished tone that something remote echoes somewhere deep within in his broken mind, but he has definitely become unable to remember what it is...
very good vid...you did well Grasshopper.....
Adriannas death was brutal, and poor Bobby what a nice lad. Ah well great clips.
Louis Lombardi-every time I see that dude, that scene with him and “Big Puthy” in the car immediately pops into my brain…that lisp made his character! 😄😄😄
His character didn’t die; that’s what we’re all discussing.
@@trudykennedy2087 I understand that-just making a humorous observation!
I love how Phil blinks when he’s shot in the heart…after he had just had his brains blown out 🤦🏼♂️
I was happy too.
saddest part was when tony said that it's sopranoing time but wasn't able to soprano all over the crew
Adriana's murder as she begged for her life was so gut wrenching. I had always had a crush on both the character and Drea de Matteo, and the last line she got was, "Please, no..."
Brutal.
Agreed.
ralph was so satisfiyng lmao, adriana and christopher were both so sad for their own reasons tho
I thought Adrianas dog dying by being sat on by a junkie was pretty terrible as well! 🤨
Rest In Peace 🙏 Cozzette
That was honestly funny lmao
Yeah that one stole a gasp outta me
That was horrible, I have a adorable dog that I love to pieces, and that scene always tugged at my heart strings…yeah I know it’s just a tv show tho
I got the whole box set of this show. It didn’t really surprise me when Christopher died, he was already having lots of deadly turmoil with Tony previously anyway when he tried to kill him during the whole Adriana situation
You forgot Vito’s biggest crime he stabbed Paulie in the heart with his betrayal
The kid throwing up was hilarious 😂
The best part is the narration with upbeat music over everything for the duration of the video.
Bobbys death was the hardest part for me! Loved him … he was a Kind hearted Person and so lovely…
Still cant get over Tony's. The fact his loving family had to see him die
People were sad Richie died?! I was more surprised when Janice did it but was like "okay fair enough, thats pretty undignified. Killed by Janice Soprano"
The most devastating death was the very last one in the last minute of the last episode. We didn't even see it.
The look on that guy's face & the other guy throwing up when Phil got ran over Priceless.
The thing about Bobby he was a sympathetic character right up to when he murdered an innocent man. It was hit first murder which is strange because he was considered a made man and to be made you have to "make your bones" which he didn't until after being made.
Tony Didn't have Vito kill Jackie Jr, It was Ralphie.
Quite a few mistakes in this video.
@@trudykennedy2087 Vito shot him
As much as Chris was a loose cannon, he tried to rectify his demons by going clean, and trying to maintain a good position in the mob circle. It can easily be forgotten how terrible the people were around him, especially Tony. Never supportive of his sobriety, manipulate him (with the whole adriana and him thing grabbing a bite to eat lol), Chris wanted some general respect from Tony as a human being, but he knew he would never get it. Its a crippling 'family' to be in.
As a kid i glorified the mob. As a grown man i see lies it all is.
he sat on a fucking dog to death doing heroin
Chris was one of the biggest pieces of shlt on the show. He got less than he deserved at the end.
What a great video! Pusey’s death easily the hardest
Great work, thanks for sharing.
In the show I watched.. It was never truly made clear if Ralph did set the barn fire...even when he was upset..he said, "No I did not".
He did
David Chase confirmed in an interview that “of course” Ralph torched the stables.
Adriana's death, or at least viewers reaction to it always amazed me. Who did they think these guys were?
@@ftniceberg874 It’s fiction and don’t act like you have never found complicated characters likable on any show ever, so cut out this holier then thou. Entertainment is supposed to be an escape from reality.
Her involvement ran the risk of such a fate, or ending up in prison during the prime of her life. You lie down with dogs...
@@selfdo Obviously.
@@mexicandaywalker4672 out of pocket
Lets be honest. The most shocking was Tony. I worked at Comcast the night the show aired and when the screen went black our lines blew up with people thinking the cable had gone out.
Thank you for making a summary of the series. Now , I don’t have to die of boredom watching all the crap to get to the good stuff.
The saddest death is when Christufuh sat on Cozette, Adrianna’s beloved dog.. It wasn't sad when Richie died. He earned that Ralph did too..
Adriana's death was tough to watch. She was a sweetheart who loved her Chris and was loyal and supportive of him to the very end.
Bobby Jr.'s death is runner up. He was like the Winnie the Pooh of gangsters. He could be a stone cold killer if he really had to, but for the most part, he would rather be a selfless family man who avoids violence if at all possible
How are you guys forgetting Christopher. What Tony did to him was a pretty intense death. Adrian's death was harsh too.
But really, Christopher was skirting death for a long time with his drug use.
@@SubdolphinXyou are absolutely right. But he did deserve a better death...
Only Bobby and Silvio’s deaths upset me. The rest were inevitable!
Very well done!
Finally, a non annoying narrative.
Tony's death is pretty shocking tbh , it's just happens so fast and unexpectedly
Little Tony's death actually made me tear up. It was almost like a Lenny situation from of mice and men
Who's Little Tony?
Christopher was Carmela's cousin not Tony's
He was Tony’s cousin from his moms side as well. Christopher’s mom is a Blundetto, which is how he’s related to tony
@@flee1993 Who gives two fucks.
I couldn’t stand Richie. But David proval is one hell of an actor. It takes serious acting skills to make your character so believable that everyone hates him.
Best actor on the whole show IMO
