The Sopranos 5x08 Reaction
Comments (37)
wait i'm very behind on the reactions... people want them to like Tony in THIS episode?? i do remember him being unfairly judged a *little* by carmela's mom but cmon
What do you guys drink when you watch reactions? Is it coffee? But it's got foam... lol
Why is there adverts on the YouTube videos when we are paying via patreon?
Youtube isn’t patreon. Their account on YT is still monetized lol
Some very weird people in the comments. They should stop paying attention to manipulative political propaganda of rich people and read Alan watts or something.
I was wondering when the “they’re biased against male characters” comments would start coming in. As if these are not deplorable irredeemable pigs that the creator wants you to be disgusted by. The show never lets you forget who they are, the “scowling” and judgement from LM is a natural result of that. You’re not supposed to watch them kill hookers or beat their girlfriends and immediately forget in the next “nice” scene lol. It taints all their truly human moments. The “overly harsh” reactions to their less horrible moments comes from watching them be the absolute worst for 5 seasons.
So Finn is also a deplorable irredeemable pig? Hugh? Lol, they are a bit biased against the male characters, it's ok. On another video you were literally defending Janice, so you can't tell me you aren't a bit biased yourself.
I see the Breaking Bad dynamics is repeating. Fans butthurt that female reactors aren't worshipping a male protagonist that is a thoroughly vile human being.
This is disingenuous and you know it. The top liked comment literally used the word “sociopath” to describe these characters. Plenty of the people commenting aren’t ignoring that these are awful people or asking for worship. Tbf it’s just a tough spot. People don’t (or at least shouldn’t) want fake reactions but then get put off by reactions they don’t like. But if we agree that fake reactions aren’t good then it should be accepted that fake comments aren’t good as well. Unless there’s people being rude about it (which outside of one or two I’m not actually seeing any, maybe it was different for the BB comments) it’s just people being honest with their comments. With shows that have a difficult relationship with its audience the comment sections will rarely be a pure glazing fest.
I know nuns that are less sanctimonious
You know for sure that if the girls were enjoying every moment of this show and someone would comment that they find such reaction uncomfortable because of how horrible these characters are many would jump down the commenters throat to understand "different opinions" and to not "tell reactors how to react". I've seen it in other channel and it's only an issue if the reactor chooses to always view a show with a critical eye. Let the girls enjoy the show however they want. If you hate so much them "being on a moral high horse" then scroll past. Reminds me of the commenters annoyed at LM not enjoying the police character in The Wire.
To be fair, if you have a reaction channel you are going to get dragged no matter what you do. Some people just get an idea on how the reactors should respond and just can't let it go if they respond some other way.
I always feel bad for Heather the hooker getting collateral whackage along with Joey Peeps. It ties in with Tony B's story a little as he has a missing daughter that he's worried about, but he doesn't think twice about killing Heather just because she's there. That's somebody's daughter too. And onward goes this thing of ours.
It’s his fault she’s a klutz?
Stupid Max with the spoiling thumbnails
Their thumbnail game is so spoiler-y.
Great episode/discussion. I think the 'man of the house' comments are just because Tony literally owns the house. The party is at his house, it's his money paying for it. It'd be weird for him not to be there. Kind of a larger comment on Carmella's life at the moment and why she found it easy to kiss him at the party. I love this episode though and really all of the remaining episodes of this season. It's definitely a more chill episode overall and has that more fun earlier season vibes.
Man of the house is a very old fashioned, somewhat prejudiced attitude.
Damn, Lola was so harsh on Finn for wanting to go out to the pool, saying Meadow should dump him instantly. He's a guest in their house and Meadow had just told him to go and take a dip to cool off. Hilarious the weird nitpicks that Lola finds to get outraged about in this.
Yeah love them but they're clearly biased against every male character and for every female character haha
Tony B's jealousy over his cousin's great life is petty, of course, but the moment when he watches Tony & Meadow hugging and joking around gives that story so much extra depth and sadness. He isn't just jealous of the fabulous backyard. Such a thoughtful grace note from show there. For what it's worth, earlier this season, Hugh was totally supportive of Carmela moving on from Tony. "You're still young" etc. (Having said that, I always thought it was oddly sweet that he wants Tony at his birthday party. And just because he considers Tony a friend doesn't mean he wants Carmela to stay married to him.)
He’s honestly entitled to wanting Tony there, it’s HIS birthday and it was Tony’s house. It indeed would be weird to not invite Tony to his own house to celebrate the birthday of a man that likes him and wants him there. Lola says this is what you choose when you separate/divorce, but the opposite is also true, when there’s a family involved many times you will have to keep seeing the face of your ex and you have to learn to deal with it without it putting you uncomfortable or wanting to go back. I’ve known married couples that ended horribly, and yet for various reasons they still keep in touch and maintain a cordial relationship and still have to see each other from time to time, it’s called being an adult about it. Of course neither Carmella and Tony have the willpower to maintain a relationship like that, but that's not Hugh or the rest of the family's fault, in theory they should learn to deal with it at least until AJ is out of the house.
Huh, I don't remember being able to hear Tony B yell when his foot got run over.
You're right. I just watched the bluray version and Tony doesn't yell. I wonder which version is this? (I don't have Max) I actually always liked that it was all silent except the gun shots and the music just gets louder, it was a neat little detail. The yell kinda ruins it.
Ach, I can't believe I forgot to mention it in the episode where he first appeared: Rusty Millio -- one of the men who asked Tony B to perform the hit -- is played by Frankie Valli. Frankie Valli is a very famous singer who is from Newark, NJ. He was the frontman for the band "The Four Seasons". He has tangential real-world connections to the Mafia: As told in the biopic "Jersey Boys" he desperately wanted to be in the Mafia when he was a kid, but all the gangsters liked his singing too much to let him in since they knew he'd inevitably get killed. He was actually mentioned last season, during the Christopher Columbus episode. The owner of the casino asked Tony to get Frankie to perform at his casino, and Tony was furious that he'd have to pull strings to make it happen. By fascinating coincidence, his hit song "Walk Like A Man" started playing in my music shuffle while writing this post. When they are asking Tony B to make the hit, they say that the guy is a "friend of a friend, not a friend of ours." That specific terminology means that the guy is connected to a crew, but is NOT a Made man. So though there may be personal revenge depending on who his friends are, it's not against "the rules".
How green was my fucking Valli
Welcome to another episode of the Carmela Pity Party 😂
Aww poor her!
it sucks that you guys can’t enjoy the good moments.. “this would be cute if it were a normal family” accepting that they’re criminals and sociopaths makes it much more enjoyable for the viewers of these reactions
Uh David Chase explicitly tried to make Tony and his family more unlikable in the later seasons because he exactly did not want people sympathizing too much.
6:17 well, remember that Pussy was a rat, it's not like Tony killed him just because. It was not expected for bosses to take care of the families of people they whack, even less if they are snitches, so really Tony is already going out of his way to help her out as it is. Hell, he's more present in her life than her so called friends like Rosalie and Carmella that completely ditched her out of their lives.
Yeah tbf this honestly shouldn't even need to be said. It's all information the show has given us before.
I will be honest as I grew older, I sort of got annoyed with family gatherings/ parties. I used to enjoyed them as a teen but as an adult they annoying me a lot lol maybe except for Christmas.
Such deja vu to all my family's big gatherings. All the joy and drama and snark
nothing to do with sopranos but i just watched ep8 of cowboy bebop and i literally choked up on my soup when you started guessing the name of a certain character and lola screamed out 'TATIANA'. look, i don't really like my name but i never thought of it as posh or as it similar to vivienne 😂 well the name you were looking for was victoria and that's my cousin's name, so close enough lol but it was hilarious to see lola's confidence screaming the name ngl anyway only this episode and a bunch of severance and i'll be up to date with all the shows, let's see how long that lasts. i miss the discussions in the comments.
Such season 1 vibes with this episode. The back half of season 5 goes so damn hard.
just in time to eat my Sohoour, thanks LM
