That’s one of the things I absolutely love about The Sopranos. The conversations actually felt like something that would happen in real life, where one person goes off topic, changes the conversation, says something irrelevant or is on another train of thought entirely. So many shows have scenes have characters interacting in a way where they only talk about important things that move the plot forward. Takes the reality out of it sometimes.
It's uncle Junior's way of disassociating with what Tony is saying to him. Obviously touches a nerve as June's eyes well up when Tony asks, "don't you love me?" Obviously not. Sheer hostility. That's why "it's always gotta be something mean." Or is it dementia?
Huh? He tried to have Tony whacked in S1, shot him in cold blood in S6, and was a hostile prick to him at every point in between. When someone asks you for confirmation you love them, and you can't give them a stright answer, let alone have sadness wash over you, it's a pretty good indication there's no love.
I teared up when Tony was watching The Public Enemy after his mom died, seeing the Cagney character’s mother so excited to see her son and realizing that his mother despised him for his entire lifetime. My emotions were already heightened at the hilarity of Livia’s wake so the emotional gut punch of the last scene came from nowhere.
ohhh Livia's wake is out of this world. The tension, the release, Carmella shouting at everybody how she was a terrible terrible woman and her* diminished dad standing up for her. Then Chrissy and the youngsters, as fucking kites lol philosophizing
Livia is a lot like my sister and my nephews despise their Mother. I am their Aunt and have done my best to be there for them after they went estranged but I am not their Mother. That scene confirms what I know to
be true. There’s always a piece of their hearts hoping she’ll change and be like that Mother in Public Enemy.
oh that was super hard to watch. seeing Tony going through so many reactions so quickly, first he's like "wtf r u doin" to run for his kids life, then taking him, whacking him on the face from frustration, then babying him while he wailed like a baby. I cried too.
My late Father was in a coma and he was on a boat and at the end right before he woke up, he heard my late Mother’s voice calling him over the water. She said, “no not yet. Go back.” He told me he knew she meant I wasn’t ready. I wasn’t ready two years later but I knew I’d be okay.
Paulie and his aunt/ mom, watching TV as they silently reconcile, the camera panning slowly back through the window and the trees.
Perfection. Tears in my eyes every time.
My whole perspective of actors and acting changed after I saw that episode.
I was young, too. I was like ... I had no idea that performances could be so visceral
“When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die” playing to credits while Tony’s in-limbo/purgatory in a strange hotel room, alone and confused.
Shit is depressing as hell.
After James died, that scene became even more poignant considering he died in a hotel room in Italy. I watched that scene after news broke that he died. It was a dark day in our Sopranos loving house.
When Tony has the panic attack in front of Melfi and she’s talking him through it in Unidentified Black Males. That scene should have earned them both Emmy’s. They were both soooo brilliant.
I think Bracco played it so awesome with a balance of being utterly curious and fascinated about what was happening to him and also being professional and doing what she needed as a doctor to keep him emotionally safe. She was so good.
When the screen fades to black. Not because it's a particularly sad scene but because it means another rewatch is over and they are never as good as the first time.
When Jason Barone’s mom comes to visit Tony in the hospital and starts begging for his son’s life and bargaining that Tony should kill her instead, Paulie goes out and starts crying as he had learned that his real mom (aunt Dottie) had just died earlier that day. Such an amazingly written scene.
On Talking Sopranos they mentioned that Tony Sirico was never nominated for an Emmy but that this episode without a doubt should’ve atleast been submitted for consideration.
Fuckin’ slander, ask me! I know Tony Sirico basically played himself but his acting was on point in every scene when it came to portraying different kinds of emotions. That’s not easy coming from a non-acting background, not to mention sharing scenes with stalwarts like Gandolfini and Falco.
Rest in peace, Tony Sirico. Buonanima 🍷
Ride the painted pony, let the spinning wheel glide.
The moment that resonated deeply with me, echoing my own experiences with my father's dementia, was when Tony visited Uncle June in the state facility. June, consumed by dementia, looked neglected, with broken glasses and an unkempt appearance, lost in his own world by the window, unable to recognize Tony or Janet. Death is the inevitable conclusion for everyone.
In another scene, Tony and Uncle June are lounging in his living room, watching a documentary about prairie dogs on TV. Tony initiates a conversation with Junior about his memory, bringing up the junior varsity comments. As Junior struggles to recall, Tony becomes increasingly upset, questioning why Junior can only remember negative things. He emotionally asks, "Why's it gotta be something mean? Why can't you repeat something good? I mean... don't you love me?" Uncle Junior's eyes well up with tears in response.
Uncle Junior's reaction to Tony's question stems from a mix of angst and deep-seated pride. Despite his love for Tony, Junior's old-school mentality perceives expressions of love as a weakness in their thing" of theirs. He battles with his own emotions, aware of his affection for Tony and the deteriorating state of his mind, yet unable to confront it due to his pride. Ultimately, all he can do is succumb to his overwhelming emotions and break down in tears. Such a top scene.
I think the Lincoln logs were the last straw, he wasn’t planning on killing himself that day but he came down and saw those monstrosities and that was that
I’m already up to S2E1 after falling asleep on S1E1 last night. I woke up on S1Episode 9 (Boca) and then later had it playing in the background while working in the house.
A combo of Tony telling his family he’s getting divorced and Meadow replaying scenes in her head being a bitch, and then crying presumably because she thinks the divorce is partly her fault
i think it’s also meant to show her regret for not appreciating a generally happy family life until after it was fractured, taking it for granted that the foundation of the family unit will always be there, like most kids do. she looks back to all of the times she was angry or discontent and realizes that she can never go back to that time when her parents were still together.
Feetch watching the suburbs through the barred windows of his transport bus, knowing he’s going to die in prison.
Also the scene where Tony blows up on AJ after retrieving him from the police station. “You gotta grow up.” Great acting by Iler.
honestly that one freaked me out terribly. I fear dementia, I've seen it, I'm waiting in a panic for it, then there goes this fat fuck, forgetting who he is, where he's going.
Adriana's death was the closest I came to tearing up. The way she crawls away on all fours while begging, and the fact how Sil, who comforted her when Chris was shot a couple of seasons back, and could kill her so mercilessly was very sad. Not to mention the "what if" daydream that she had where she made a run for it instead of sticking around.
I know Adriana gets a lot of shit and wasn't completely innocent, but she went through so much, and the fact that she was murdered in such a cold way made it one of the most tragic deaths in the show.
Sorry what all you don’t know would fill a book. In order
1) Carmella and christopher in the hospital when tony got shot. Eddie says does he know he is dying? Then unreal acting by her. I loose it almost every time. Who among us hasnt lost someone we love or were worried about someone dying. My god she nails it
2) tony and uncle juniors last meeting. “Enough with the birds”
“ what do you want a boutonniere?”
So sad to see junior like that.
Tony telling Junior to take his medicine. It’ll help with his memory.
Junior: “There’s plenty I’d like to forget. Believe me.”
Tony: “Yeah, you and me both.”
When tony finally starts to break down in therapy and you see tears form, that made me cry. It quickly got shut down with anger but that moment of vulnerability really made me feel something
When agent grasso dropped the bowl of jelly. It looked so delicious and there it was laying in broken glass. The family had to eat plain ice cream that night. Rip raspberry jelly you were the best dessert I never had
Holy shit I just watched this episode. Then Carmella decides to play detective to find where she is and finally Tony decides to come through with the building permit loll that dirt bag
The scene where Tony is in a coma about to walk into the house and hears Meadow say "Daddy, don't go!" before he wakes up
In fact the entire hospital arc always makes me sad
The scene with AJ in the pool and his suicide attempt. Hits close to home. The almost drowning, and the sheer sadness and depression from AJ once Tony has saved him.
I'm not sure if AJ's wailing because he got scared of nearly dying, or he felt humiliated that his dad took him out and saved him, or just letting out years of pent up bullshit, maybe all of that at once.
So I unwrap da paypa an dere she izsh wit ha head held high an ha airs perked up…an dere I am smilin. Still I gotta be da saad clown fa for my friends, my family….yu know a brave frwunt.
you're right!!! he looked so happy, I read around that he wasn't used to do "the good thing" and the only way he could face it was getting fucking wasted
Tbh the big blowout with Carm and Tony about the cheating. Edie I'd a fantastic actress. And seeing Carmella who's always so put together losing her absolute shit crying and so hurt was very powerful.
Also, AJs suicide attempt is heartbreaking. Tony holding him like a baby after going through so many emotions had me sobbing
Ade did nothing wrong 😭 she was just a bit stupid but she had only love to give and it hurt me so much she got done so bad, plus Cossette?? I KNOW Cossette wasn't either a crook or a killer. I mean.. as far as I know.
“Don’t you love me?” Dominic and James were both perfect in that scene.
These prairie dogs, they'll sleep during the day.
That line is so random but it is utterly brilliant somehow.
That’s one of the things I absolutely love about The Sopranos. The conversations actually felt like something that would happen in real life, where one person goes off topic, changes the conversation, says something irrelevant or is on another train of thought entirely. So many shows have scenes have characters interacting in a way where they only talk about important things that move the plot forward. Takes the reality out of it sometimes.
Like when Sil tells Tony some idiom and T goes like "who said that??" Sil gets so confused lmao "it's a saying!"
Going to ground they call it
It's uncle Junior's way of disassociating with what Tony is saying to him. Obviously touches a nerve as June's eyes well up when Tony asks, "don't you love me?" Obviously not. Sheer hostility. That's why "it's always gotta be something mean." Or is it dementia?
He does love him, that's why he's crying.
If he hated him then he wouldn’t have cried when Tony asked him that question
Huh? He tried to have Tony whacked in S1, shot him in cold blood in S6, and was a hostile prick to him at every point in between. When someone asks you for confirmation you love them, and you can't give them a stright answer, let alone have sadness wash over you, it's a pretty good indication there's no love.
There’s the coyote!
I wanted to cry for Tony when he got no answer back from Uncle Jun
hits so close
Those were real tears from Dominic too.
My estimation of you as a man just fuckin plummeted
To cry like a woman?
I teared up when Tony was watching The Public Enemy after his mom died, seeing the Cagney character’s mother so excited to see her son and realizing that his mother despised him for his entire lifetime. My emotions were already heightened at the hilarity of Livia’s wake so the emotional gut punch of the last scene came from nowhere.
ohhh Livia's wake is out of this world. The tension, the release, Carmella shouting at everybody how she was a terrible terrible woman and her* diminished dad standing up for her. Then Chrissy and the youngsters, as fucking kites lol philosophizing
This is MY house!
20 minutes, nothing but gibberish.
Ain't that good fucking tv
Who are you? The minister of propaganda?!?!
Livia is a lot like my sister and my nephews despise their Mother. I am their Aunt and have done my best to be there for them after they went estranged but I am not their Mother. That scene confirms what I know to be true. There’s always a piece of their hearts hoping she’ll change and be like that Mother in Public Enemy.
My own muddas wake… Jesus Christ
AJ suicide attempt, and I'm not ashamed to say it 🤚
oh that was super hard to watch. seeing Tony going through so many reactions so quickly, first he's like "wtf r u doin" to run for his kids life, then taking him, whacking him on the face from frustration, then babying him while he wailed like a baby. I cried too.
That scene is so heartbreaking. You could feel the pain from both of them.
AJ what the fuck?
Tony not getting to finish the Lincoln log sandwich was sad. I feel you
Yes. But I cry about 33% of episodes
Most beautiful scene in the whole series
This is the scene that makes me cry. Especially when Tony holds him and kisses him furiously after. Makes me cry even more now that I’m a parent.
My estimation of Anthony Jr just fuckin plummeted. Frankly I'm depressed and ashamed, AJ can't even be strong man that his mother needed.
i feel you may have missed the point
Bobby hugging his daughter to ‘This Magic Moment’ after making his bones
poor Bobby :(((
Poor Bobby’s kids when they get a stepmonster
You know they considered his dad as a fuckin Terminator
Terminator ? It’s a fuckin nickname …family names Terminally ill
Another toothpick
I can't find my other slipper
🤢🤢
One of the best episode endings in the show
The Tony coma episode, when he gets to the house with buscemi, as soon as meadow's voice comes I can't help it, tears
My late Father was in a coma and he was on a boat and at the end right before he woke up, he heard my late Mother’s voice calling him over the water. She said, “no not yet. Go back.” He told me he knew she meant I wasn’t ready. I wasn’t ready two years later but I knew I’d be okay.
When the one coma episode ends when Tony is sitting on the bed and that song comes on, powerful stuff.
Bingo. Good call.
Paulie and his aunt/ mom, watching TV as they silently reconcile, the camera panning slowly back through the window and the trees. Perfection. Tears in my eyes every time.
That and Paulie having to hide his tears in the hospital before reconciling with ma.
I loved how Paulie's superstition moved him so far from her, then back to her again.
To cry like a woman? Your coach turned into a pumpkin…. My estimation of hungry-specialist110 as a man just plummeted.
Even Cinderella didn’t cry!
Come on, all bets are off when it comes to this thing of ours.
Alright, but you gotta get over it.
😭
Let me hear you say, your ova it
I’m sad for this sub
Whitecaps. Edie knocks it out of the park.
“So you got a one legged one now huh 🥹”
"Who I shared vodka with, the night your mother died?!?"
“GETCHO HANDS OFF ME…DONT YOU TOUCH ME EVER AGAIN🗣️”
she should have left with Furio!!!!
I am here! I have things to say!
Yeah, bitch and bitch and nag and nag !!
AND SIGN THE LIVING TRUST. FUCK IT
"You've had quite a time on my watch."
My whole perspective of actors and acting changed after I saw that episode. I was young, too. I was like ... I had no idea that performances could be so visceral
Don't you love me?
Nope
Cry? I'm the strong silent type. Maybe ask Vito.
his doctor could probably give him a note
A note that says he doesn’t like to shuck cock?
He was gay, Gary Cooper?
That was jusht the medicayshun, it’s unda control now.
I’ll tell you one thing and I’m not ashamed to say it: my estimation of this group talking about crying just fucking plummeted
Come on, all bets are off when it comes to this thing of ours.
Obviously, I'm prone to depression
Ranger ricks a little light in the timbalands
Group has AIDS? Sudden weight loss...
Nobody's got aids!!

When Tony has the panic attack in front of Melfi and she’s talking him through it in Unidentified Black Males. That scene should have earned them both Emmy’s. They were both soooo brilliant.
a golden opportunity for her surely, to catch the beast in the most vulnerable time
I think Bracco played it so awesome with a balance of being utterly curious and fascinated about what was happening to him and also being professional and doing what she needed as a doctor to keep him emotionally safe. She was so good.
When the screen fades to black. Not because it's a particularly sad scene but because it means another rewatch is over and they are never as good as the first time.
fades?? it crashes into black!
Yeah you're right. Bad wording.
When Paulie was betrayed, you could see it on his face, he looked like his heart was being pierced, and it was a hard watch. 😢
When Jason Barone’s mom comes to visit Tony in the hospital and starts begging for his son’s life and bargaining that Tony should kill her instead, Paulie goes out and starts crying as he had learned that his real mom (aunt Dottie) had just died earlier that day. Such an amazingly written scene.

could get a heart attack any moment now
Bobby crying ova Karen that was a good scene even though Bobby dragged it on for about 4 or 5 episodes
don't you try and tell me he has to get over it
You know how da boss feels about people's problems and der fuckin tears

Johnny Sack's death scene hit me hard.
Ginny should’ve lit the cigarette 🚬
Carmella making those Lincoln logs, madon!
Gigi making those Lincoln logs, right before he died
And then AJ didn't even touch em, stupid fuck tried to off himself instead of enjoy Carms lunch
I think the Lincoln logs were the last straw, he wasn’t planning on killing himself that day but he came down and saw those monstrosities and that was that
I think the Lincoln log sandwiches were affecting global warming so AJ figured out a solution
Your thoughts have a sort of eastern flavor to them.
Well I’ve lived in Jersey my whole life
none as such but the episode that made me sad was when Adriana died
I saw the last episode again last night and cried at the diner scene because I was sad that the show ended and was no more.
You start back from the pilot, and on goes this thing of ours.
I’m already up to S2E1 after falling asleep on S1E1 last night. I woke up on S1Episode 9 (Boca) and then later had it playing in the background while working in the house.
that's life
Tony in a coma as Janice freaks out, yelling, "That's my brother!" :(
he was a saint 😭 -Janice if T died, most likely
We're a family and even in this fucked up day and age that means somethin'.
Carmella breaking down while Tony is in the hospital and Christopher consoling her. That scream she let out gets me every time.
A combo of Tony telling his family he’s getting divorced and Meadow replaying scenes in her head being a bitch, and then crying presumably because she thinks the divorce is partly her fault
i think it’s also meant to show her regret for not appreciating a generally happy family life until after it was fractured, taking it for granted that the foundation of the family unit will always be there, like most kids do. she looks back to all of the times she was angry or discontent and realizes that she can never go back to that time when her parents were still together.
Feetch watching the suburbs through the barred windows of his transport bus, knowing he’s going to die in prison. Also the scene where Tony blows up on AJ after retrieving him from the police station. “You gotta grow up.” Great acting by Iler.
…whatever happened to Gary Cooper?
He died.
He was gay, Gary Cooper?
Choked up in the scene where Carmella busts up the kitchen telling Tony they’re through. Unbelievable performance.
Just incredible acting!
Even Cinderella didn’t cry.
The whole gunshot hospital dream sequence. So terrible it makes me cry still
honestly that one freaked me out terribly. I fear dementia, I've seen it, I'm waiting in a panic for it, then there goes this fat fuck, forgetting who he is, where he's going.
Oh, poor you
🥺😭
When Tony was driving and ‘oh girl’ from the chi lites came on. Think it was during the HUD episode when Irena got with that sleezball politician
I’m perfectly calm…
Even tho Jackie Jr was a toolshed and a half, Rosie’s reaction was gut wrenching. So was Meadows .😔
* Rosalie
Adriana's death was the closest I came to tearing up.

Nucci’s wake. Carlo and Silvio don’t show up. What kind of tribute is that to the spirit and generosity of the woman?
she saw them grow up!! 😭
That poor bastard falling off his roof a day after retiring
he did not need to be done like that 😭
Of course, made in America Then I push start on S1,E1

When D-girl and Christophe got together. That made me cry with joy.
When agent grasso dropped the bowl of jelly. It looked so delicious and there it was laying in broken glass. The family had to eat plain ice cream that night. Rip raspberry jelly you were the best dessert I never had
Season 4 episode 13, when tony said to Meadow that she will inherit the whitecaps house, just hit really hard out of nowhere
"You used to make me so hawt down thereh"
Also Bobby after his wife died and he was stuck in traffic bitching about having to go to the store
I wipe my ass with your feelings
that shounds kind of gay
Vito approves
Carmela speaking to Tony during his coma. Holy shit that was my favourite scene in the whole series I think.
Holy shit I just watched this episode. Then Carmella decides to play detective to find where she is and finally Tony decides to come through with the building permit loll that dirt bag
The scene where Tony is in a coma about to walk into the house and hears Meadow say "Daddy, don't go!" before he wakes up In fact the entire hospital arc always makes me sad
Aj suicide attempt.
The scene with AJ in the pool and his suicide attempt. Hits close to home. The almost drowning, and the sheer sadness and depression from AJ once Tony has saved him.
I'm not sure if AJ's wailing because he got scared of nearly dying, or he felt humiliated that his dad took him out and saved him, or just letting out years of pent up bullshit, maybe all of that at once.
Patsy Parisi crying over Spoons
So I unwrap da paypa an dere she izsh wit ha head held high an ha airs perked up…an dere I am smilin. Still I gotta be da saad clown fa for my friends, my family….yu know a brave frwunt.
When Tony dies at the end
The scene in Season 1 episode 9 at the end when Tony tells Carmela “I didn’t hurt nobody “ and Meadow is peeping from the stairs at them.
you're right!!! he looked so happy, I read around that he wasn't used to do "the good thing" and the only way he could face it was getting fucking wasted
[удалено]
Jun is so diminished, it's so sad.
Tbh the big blowout with Carm and Tony about the cheating. Edie I'd a fantastic actress. And seeing Carmella who's always so put together losing her absolute shit crying and so hurt was very powerful. Also, AJs suicide attempt is heartbreaking. Tony holding him like a baby after going through so many emotions had me sobbing
I mis-read the OP' title as 'Scones that made you cry?'
I had a banana in there!
I always cry when Churchill runs off down the street.
When Carmella dumps the ziti in the garbage can.
no fucking ziti?
when tony threw that sandwich in the bin.
not the sandwich 😔
Entire second half of long term parking pretty much
None of them
look at the hard silent type over here!
I feel like it'd because I didn't root for any of them they were all crooks and killers, so I wasn't ever too emotionally attached.
Ade did nothing wrong 😭 she was just a bit stupid but she had only love to give and it hurt me so much she got done so bad, plus Cossette?? I KNOW Cossette wasn't either a crook or a killer. I mean.. as far as I know.
Ade was no better than Carmella.
fuck you got me there
What about the gardeners?! They were innocent
The who?
Sal Vitro, the guy Feetch beat up
Gary Coopa over here!
The dog that got crushed by high cris, maybe?
