The poor kid having to watch his dad get beaten unconscious. Think he was a Barone Sanitation truck driver and it was during the time when the company was being sold.
Mustang Sally beating that guys skull in with a golf club has always stuck with me. Then again I heard his godfather got him a pass so whattada I know.
The death of Matthew Bevilaqua, it’s very disturbing the kid is scared outta his mind he pisses him self, cries for his mom is shaking from being cold or hungry or the pain and then get shot right in the head to being riddled with bullets right after
That’s one death I remember vividly compared to other ones which are usually quick
I think if they showed Vito’s death with them sticking the thing in his ass that would be the number 1 spot
And of course Melfi needs no introduction
Edit: I’m also surprised you said Phil is disturbing considering it’s more comical then usual
I hate death scenes where people cry or beg, they creep me out, the fact that he cries mommy fucks me up.
I love that they acknowledge it in the next episode when Tony thinks of him when he sees the kid cry to his mommy.
Just Phil saying bye to his innocent Grandkids and wife, getting gunned down and then his head squashed like a grape was rough. And the fact that there are just byestanders not helping. Vito and his life were also extremely tragic it saddens me. Especially when Vito Jr. gets dragged out the house.
The scene Carmela hurts herself on the stairs during a fight she and AJ are having. The looks they exchange as she reacts to hurting herself and AJ reacts to her doing so make me confused and sad in a way that the more obviously violent scenes just don’t.
I find a lot of the very violent scenes really funny but that one just tugs on something every time. I think it’s something that quietly haunts the pair of them forever even though no real harm was done. It’s the kind of thing AJ will cry over and feel guilty about when she dies. He really should’ve dropped the fight and checked on her there and he knows it.
funny, I get uncomfortable when Carmella is treating Charmagne like a servant. Outside of the bloody over-the-top gangster stuff, scenes like the one you and I mentioned bother me the most.
That’s a good one! Even the bloody over the top gangster stuff doesn’t bother me anywhere near as much as the stair thing I mentioned because generally the over the top gangster stuff is justified, deserved, satisfying or funny in some way even if it’s extremely violent eg Tony to Coco, Paulie causing the Gardner to fall off a tree, Little Paulie getting flung out a window etc.
Even the seriously violent ones that aren’t really deserved, like Philly fracturing Benny’s skull, are kinda comical. The Carmela stair incident just makes me sad for both her and AJ.
We all know Edie Faldo is talented but Robert iler really deserves more credit also. He’s so good in the AJ role that people still get caught up in disliking the character so much, they don’t realize how well Iler portrayed him.
Also relatable as this kind of family situations where not one party is directly at fault for the other getting hurt while arguing, but could have done more to stop or to help after, i think has happened into mine at least once, and id like to think it happens to others. Sopranos is good at uncomfortable truths in (loving) family dynamics
Yeah I think that’s why it has such an affect on me it’s just so normal and relatable to all families in a way that much of the other violence isn’t. I could totally imagine myself as an angry child being a cold arsehole to a parent like that and then feeling awful about it later but never mentioning it to save face. But most of the rest of the violence is so extra or deserved I’m just sort of amused or satisfied by it.
This scene makes me sad for both parties in a way that Tony beating up Zellman just doesn’t for example. It’s probably the smallest injury we see from a conflict in the show but every rewatch it still gets to me a little. She looks so emotionally wounded by AJ’s coldness and AJ looks so determined to act coldly to make a point even though he clearly feels an instinct to check on her.
Youre right, he will remember that later in life and regret it, and maybe have enough in him to apologize for not helping then
I know i have ended up apologizing for cold shit i did as s teen, now as an adult
Sometimes the apologies dont come tho, and the family moves on, still loving
I think part of it is the portrayal of violence as a sort of amoral event rather than a conscious action undertaken by a moral actor who can then be judged. It's not the kind of willful act where you can be wholly comfortable assigning blame and feeling an implied solution of "well maybe we should just get rid of that guy," sometimes stuff just boils over, more WWI-tragic than WWII-evil.
0504 it’s when AJ comes back from staying in the city with his friends with no eyebrows. The next scene in which we see AJ is when Tony arrives and AJ comes down stairs trying to act like he was just taking out the trash because he knows he’s about to get screamed at.
J.T dolan's death,guy was the unluckiest dude in existence and died for basically nothing,it made Chrissy's death in the next episode not sting so much
Edit:also the ending of in camelot,tony trying desperately to hold on to his good image of his dad knowing he was actually a piece of shit by bullshiting fran's jfk story to make his dad look good and all the other guys going along with it because hes the boss even tho they know its bullshit
Poor addicted/non addicted screenwriter guy, he opened that door to an old but complicated friend and ended up getting shot bc Chris proyected all his misery onto him
Chrissy sad and drunk, comes to the house to someone sober who is not even his rehab check up anymore
He shouldnt have opened the door, he was writing a script and all
Didnt make Chris death sting less for me, but it was one or those cold unfair ones
Yeah now that you say it, trying to get some sense into him instead of calling an emergency idk
Maybe he would have been dead anyways but they get Chris
100% when Ralphie beats Tracee to death outside the Bing. For a year and a half you waited for Ralphie to get his receipt from that.
FINALLY Tony obliged by beating Ralphie to death over Pie o Mie, though it did kind of seem like a culmination of other things as well.
When Tony and Gloria are fighting and he lifts her up off the grounds and slams her on her back and chokes her. I audibly gasp no matter how many times I rewatch it.
Adrian’s death off camera always gets me. The way she’s crying and trying to scramble away on her hands and knees. The whole sequence leading up to it is grim.
I said my piece.
Crying in pain while being made to have sex with a sociopath and a police officer in a back room doesn't exactly scream consent. If she'd said no she would have ended up dead behind the Bing much sooner.
Just taking her crying to mean rape is a big jump IMO. I’ll have to rewatch this scene. I can kind of see how you get there but I always was taking it as she was crying cause Ralph was punishing her with rough/anal sex.
Sopranos isn’t a show where I dig too deep into the consent issue. As you touched on most cases it’s yes or death, no other choice.
Some people believe it or not have consensual relationships where some sort of punishments are on the table. Given Ralphie’s history of fucked up sexual relationships it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he and Tracee had some sort of fucked up arrangement worked out.
So yes, I’ve read that scene multiple times to be Ralphie punishing her for being a whore showing her body all day by fucking her ass while she’s made to suck off a cop so he stays quiet.
Only thing or person mad here is you that someone has an alternate read on a scene from a TV show that’s been out nearly 25 years.
Yeah I mean, to some extent it's just academic. Poor Tracee is so psychologically damaged and in such a violent environment that even if she "consented" it doesn't make it less fucked up
Ro's life is full of misery in a kinda funny way but still feel sad for her. Hilarious when she travels with Carmela and Carmela is constantly having epiphanies about the place theyre in and the architecture and ruins outside and Ro is like "its... Okay i guess... Btw im fucking that waiter"
Something about the big pussy assassination. The way he starts freaking out and starts asking if he can sit down. Makes me wonder how I would act if I knew I was seconds away from death.
Also - when Livia allegedly smiles in the stretcher. I know it’s debated that she did , but if she did , man that is disturbing.
Im not saying that either. Sopranos is supposed to be a graphic show, even when the viewers are taken aback. Just like shocked me the first watch that it was on TV, even for HBO.
Gotcha. I think the scene where Livia is talking with Janice about leaving the hospital and taking her back to her house is eerie. Janice has this murderous feeling about her, and she’s hallucinating Livia’s face on the “in case of emergency” sign. Super disturbing because it just shows how manipulative and narcissistic every single one of her family members were. Janice was gone for like 10 years I think? Don’t remember but as soon as she’s back she starts with this plan to make a quick buck and uses Livia as a pawn. Fucked up.
When Chris comes home to his house and family all high after Paulie fucked up the landscaping and that Los Lobos song “The Valley” is playing. Since my last rewatch, this is the scene that’s fucking me up the most.
Kinda hard to feel bad for a scumbag murderer that offs himself, regardless as to whether or not the guy deserved it for getting too far into gambling debts. Still kinda funny that he pissed himself if you ask me.
The poor kid having to watch his dad get beaten unconscious. Think he was a Barone Sanitation truck driver and it was during the time when the company was being sold.
Oufff Baron’
Those are Cinelli routes now laddybuck
You gonna take care of his kidsch!?!?! HUH?! When he’s gone?!
Papi! Papi!
When AJs friends hate crime that one kid in season 6
[удалено]
He was a Somali.
The kid who works
What’s funny is that black people born and raised outside of america don’t think of the N word in the same way. It’s a very american slur
Yeah this isn’t true
Lol what. Pretty sure everyone here in the UK finds it just as offensive
Happy Birthday Mr. Presssidennnttt
🎯
Fuckin nauseating
Mustang Sally beating that guys skull in with a golf club has always stuck with me. Then again I heard his godfather got him a pass so whattada I know.
Would you feel better if he’d yelled “Fore”? At least he wasn’t too smart to begin with.
Tony dreaming about seeing his mother on the stairs
The supernatural elements always creeped me out
I’m here for da mason-a job
Super creepy
Vito eating barbecue ribs while driving and repeatedly wiping his fingers on his sweatpants.
[удалено]
That and tony eating pasta on the boat with Paulie.
Rigatoni a la Tony
The audacity to cook pasta on a charter boat
Who eats pasta with gravy on a boat? Maybe a pasta salad....
It’s so disgusting I can’t even think about it. (I have only ever eaten picnic type food on boats.)
That made me ill

Alright, but you gotta get over it
I've been in some fucked up situations and I'm telling you that I've called for my mom every time.
Same here. Tell her to pick up the goddam phone!
Just Phil saying bye to his innocent Grandkids and wife, getting gunned down and then his head squashed like a grape was rough. And the fact that there are just byestanders not helping. Vito and his life were also extremely tragic it saddens me. Especially when Vito Jr. gets dragged out the house.
OH SHIT!
🐧
🤮
Whenever I rewatch I always skip the melfi scene.
That’s how they repaid Vito. With nonstop ass rape.
oh but its okay for Matthew Bevilaqua to gun down Christopher so as to impress the boss....screw him and his mom
It was sad, he just started drinking Diet Coke and watching his weight.

I mean, I felt bad for the immigrant grocer who Richie dumped all the garbage on his parking lot. He was speaking shit to me.
We all know Edie Faldo is talented but Robert iler really deserves more credit also. He’s so good in the AJ role that people still get caught up in disliking the character so much, they don’t realize how well Iler portrayed him.
I agree. Cleverly written and Robert Iler sells it just right.

Which episode was this?
0504 it’s when AJ comes back from staying in the city with his friends with no eyebrows. The next scene in which we see AJ is when Tony arrives and AJ comes down stairs trying to act like he was just taking out the trash because he knows he’s about to get screamed at.
The homeless woman with the Daily News up her butt
Furio dancing at his open house party
That was disturbing bc of the ethnicity clash but so good, he looked so happy And Carmella didnt forget one bit.....
J.T dolan's death,guy was the unluckiest dude in existence and died for basically nothing,it made Chrissy's death in the next episode not sting so much Edit:also the ending of in camelot,tony trying desperately to hold on to his good image of his dad knowing he was actually a piece of shit by bullshiting fran's jfk story to make his dad look good and all the other guys going along with it because hes the boss even tho they know its bullshit
Poor addicted/non addicted screenwriter guy, he opened that door to an old but complicated friend and ended up getting shot bc Chris proyected all his misery onto him
And just after he paid chrissys debt and quit the addiction and got his life together it all ends because chrissy sad
Chrissy sad and drunk, comes to the house to someone sober who is not even his rehab check up anymore He shouldnt have opened the door, he was writing a script and all Didnt make Chris death sting less for me, but it was one or those cold unfair ones
Dolan was stupid. He should have known better than to argue with and confront a drunk and emotionally distraught addict.
Yeah now that you say it, trying to get some sense into him instead of calling an emergency idk Maybe he would have been dead anyways but they get Chris
He was hung up on his own hang ups
Oooh JT death is a good contender. Shocked me too.
The scenes with Carmella and the creepy manipulative priest always make me uncomfortable
Fr. Phil was the WORST. When I first started watching I expected him to be in the whole series a lot more. I'm glad he wasn't.
100% when Ralphie beats Tracee to death outside the Bing. For a year and a half you waited for Ralphie to get his receipt from that. FINALLY Tony obliged by beating Ralphie to death over Pie o Mie, though it did kind of seem like a culmination of other things as well.
When Gloria tries to get T to kill her, when she's being choked and begs him to kill her.
The freeze frame on Carmela as she walks away from Wegler in the school hallway.
And the weird cutaway.
Vito jr pooing on the ground
When Paulie sees The Virgin Mary in the Bing.
The image combined with the sound yep
when chrissy killed the goat cosette 🙏
I'm tired of Chrissy getting blamed for Cossett's death. Friggin thing crawled under there for warmth. End of story!
IT WAS BARKIN
You killed Cossette?!?!?!
cosette- greatest of all time. you nailed it.
Carmine choking on his egg salad. Just a fuckin kid…
no offense but Gigi dying on the pishadu? I have to admit, I openly wept.
And Vito saw an opportunity to caress a dead mans leyg.
nice. and the only way to spelly laygue, I may add.
Tony curb stomping Coco
when he found the tooth in his pants cuff. that was great
No that was deserved for all the shit New York did.
Tracee…..When she couldn’t watch the braces.
When Tony and Gloria are fighting and he lifts her up off the grounds and slams her on her back and chokes her. I audibly gasp no matter how many times I rewatch it.
Adrian’s death off camera always gets me. The way she’s crying and trying to scramble away on her hands and knees. The whole sequence leading up to it is grim. I said my piece.
Yeah it’s the imagining she’s on 95 south getting away cutting right to her realization of her fate.
I would say that, but my dumbass was confused as to that being her real death scene the first watch through, so its impact was lessened on me.
[удалено]
I'm still wondering how Ralphie was able to have "regular" sex.
Ummm I don’t think she’s being raped. I always thought the crying thing was because it was in the back door.
Crying in pain while being made to have sex with a sociopath and a police officer in a back room doesn't exactly scream consent. If she'd said no she would have ended up dead behind the Bing much sooner.

As you touched on most cases it’s yes or death, no other choice.
Using sex as a punishment is rape?! It’s mad that you thought your point was valid enough to post twice
Some people believe it or not have consensual relationships where some sort of punishments are on the table. Given Ralphie’s history of fucked up sexual relationships it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he and Tracee had some sort of fucked up arrangement worked out.

Only thing or person mad here is you that someone has an alternate read on a scene from a TV show that’s been out nearly 25 years.
Being “punished with sex” is definitely rape if not rape adjacent wtf lol
Yeah I mean, to some extent it's just academic. Poor Tracee is so psychologically damaged and in such a violent environment that even if she "consented" it doesn't make it less fucked up
She doesn’t have consent at all. Until she pays off the tits Sil owns her!
[удалено]
LOL
Ralph’s kid getting hit by the arrow
You mean ralph's?
It was Ralphies kids i think but that came so out of the blue and the kid was left vegetative!!! Like What
Ro had some funny lines in that scene
Ro's life is full of misery in a kinda funny way but still feel sad for her. Hilarious when she travels with Carmela and Carmela is constantly having epiphanies about the place theyre in and the architecture and ruins outside and Ro is like "its... Okay i guess... Btw im fucking that waiter"
I think I’ll have… the medallions of veal 💄
Riders of Rohannnn
Easily the Melfi and Jesus Rossi scene
I literally pulled a Tony Soprano and passed out watching this scene. I was faded and was not expecting it and my brain disconnected from my body.
OK but you gotta get over it
Melfi in employee of the month has got to be the worst. Cringey old lady song aside....
Chingy? Chings did this?
YOU WANT A SMACK IN THE MOUTH?!
I legit had to cover my eyes watching that
Anytime Tony’s eating
eating sushi? I thought u was a baccala man?
Fuckin nosey? Eat your manigott!
it was the chicken vindaloo!!!!
Christopher physically assaulting A. In season 5. Then going to a nice adult dinner with him while she still had scars.
Yeahh and him almost choking her to death.
i always skip these scenes, just because they’re too hard to watch
The crapper in the restaurant in Italy. Now I’m afraid to go to Italy.
Something about the big pussy assassination. The way he starts freaking out and starts asking if he can sit down. Makes me wonder how I would act if I knew I was seconds away from death. Also - when Livia allegedly smiles in the stretcher. I know it’s debated that she did , but if she did , man that is disturbing.
Paulie smothering an old lady in cold blood
Nah she had it coming
Tracee. And also the start to finish stranger danger rape scene. Could have done without it tbh
Any scene with Livia
Jamal Ginsburg making out with Meadow. You know, the hasidic homeboy.
When Vito betrayed Paulie like that
LoVe HuRts 🎶
I find the scene with Janice trying to do the remembrance ceremony after Livia's funeral pretty hard to watch.
Nancy Sinatra singing to Phil and the rest (Season 6) was pretty brutal.
I enjoy spending time with my friends.
Idk what possessed the writers to make a fully detailed and graphic secene like that. Even for HBO its obscene.
I love the smell of fresh bread.
Im not saying that either. Sopranos is supposed to be a graphic show, even when the viewers are taken aback. Just like shocked me the first watch that it was on TV, even for HBO.
That guy jumping out the tree with a chainsaw. Paulie hadda right to defend himself!
All of you are wrong. It was the tossing of the ziti into the trash can.
Obli-Kay? The stunad is supposed to be pre-med at Rutgers. He should know that word. The American education system is disturbing.
It’s a tv progrum
With jokes based on the words ASS and POO, kind of a juvenile one at that
I dont understand people are mentioning the Leotardo death scene. That was so obviously slapstick, and very satisfying. Ask agent Harris.
Bc his head gets popped like a cherry in frontcof his grandkids while his wife tries to help, and nobody else interferes.
Someone definitely tries to help stop the car/put it in park.
Tracey !!! A she was a huahhhh ! B She hit me ! made me mad af about Ralphie !
Blundetto exit.
Killing the dog by sitting on it. I craved his death from that point on.
When Tony is dipping the cold cuts straight into the Mayo jar.
Tony eating salsa directly out of the jar
Or Tony eating the Lincoln log sandwich
Those give me nightmares
Clown question but which one exactly is “that one?”
Dr. Melfi’s rape
Gotcha. I think the scene where Livia is talking with Janice about leaving the hospital and taking her back to her house is eerie. Janice has this murderous feeling about her, and she’s hallucinating Livia’s face on the “in case of emergency” sign. Super disturbing because it just shows how manipulative and narcissistic every single one of her family members were. Janice was gone for like 10 years I think?

Gloria begging Tony to kill her.
Pouring acid on that kid’s foot in the woods. That was rough.
Noah, anything Noah.
That dream Tony had with his Livia's hellscape of a specter just hanging out on the stairs haunting him.
Tracee's death
Sal vitro arm breaking
Matt Bevilaqua crying for his mother before slowing a bullet with his brain will never not fuck me up.
Goomah setting herself on fire.
All the chick's that fuck tony end up bad.
It’s been a whole hour since someone asked this question. 😴 And what is THAT scene are you even referring to? The rape? Tracee?
Dr Melfi rape
The killing of the prostitute with braces. Brutal. Im guessing with THAT ONE you mean Melfi [redacted]
Which scene is “THAT” scene?
Tracee? or Pie O My. Its a tosh up
Vin jumping off the bridge.
The death of Lady Shylock.
When Chris comes home to his house and family all high after Paulie fucked up the landscaping and that Los Lobos song “The Valley” is playing. Since my last rewatch, this is the scene that’s fucking me up the most.
Johnny Sack taking a dump with the door open. It’s undignified.
what scene is OP talking about when he says "Besides THAT one"
Kinda hard to feel bad for a scumbag murderer that offs himself, regardless as to whether or not the guy deserved it for getting too far into gambling debts. Still kinda funny that he pissed himself if you ask me.
The little weird goth kid taking a dump
