The Sopranos - Billy Budd

[nman06]

Meadows face when Tony says "You're not" is classic

[TheMontenegrinFalcon]

Holy shit Alex is in Boardwalk Empire :O

[longhorns13192]

@TheMontenegrinFalcon is that jimmys wife?

[TheMontenegrinFalcon]

@longhorns13192 Yeah thats her

[postusinterruptus]

Tony had a much stronger opinion re this subject when it came to Vito...

[Antrizzle2009]

@atc5656 Holy shit! I just noticed that, good call! She's young as shit here. But then again that makes sense cuz season 4 was in 2002.

[peeweesherman]

WHat if when Tony said "No offence" the kid was like "Oow, do you blow your dad with that mouth?"

[dinuccij]

@peeweesherman hahaha

[utube2344]

Carmella was definitely one of the dumbest characters on the show.

[piratebri]

Is Carmella going through menopause during this time in the show? I forget why she was so bitchy

[Antrizzle2009]

@piratebri This was around the time she was in love with Furio and she was frustrated as hell.

[Crust218]

Carmella is gay. Otherwise she wouldn't get so defensive.

[deffinatelybodmin]

"Well maybe he's gay. You ever thought of that?" haha owned! Carmela was my favourite character throughout the series and I would have been happy for Furio to kill Tony.

[TheUltimateCondom]

@deffinatelybodmin eeeeuugh seriously? carmela was a hatable bitch

[Antrizzle2009]

@deffinatelybodmin You serious? She got owned in this scene. She has no idea what she's talking about.

[OoerBostanci]

@Chermo20 Man if you were in front of me right now I'd suck you off so fucking hard your cock will begin to peel. 

[dojdart1]

that's the best soprano seen Iv'e seen so far

tony's wife thout process is the same as my mother's

[OneEyedJack1970]

There's a chapter in Moby Dick that talks about how to make a sort of cloak out of a whale's penis. Not that I see that as particularly gay. Certainly no more so than eating milt (which I think is gross, but not gay).

[tristan1865]

Melville's Christian allegory, which is evident throughout the work, concerns the battle between Adam/Billy (good) and Satan/Claggart (evil): did Satan 'fancy' Adam?

[tristan1865]

In both the novella and libretto, it's Billy's 'goodness' that makes Claggart jealous. In Britten, the latter sings 'O beauty, O handsomeness, goodness', where the keyword is 'goodness'. Is it possible, before Billy's arrival at the 'Indomitable'/'Bellipotent', that Claggart didn't find any sailor attractive to fancy? It's Billy's handsomeness AND goodness (ie ideal perfection) that Claggart couldn't tolerate.

[tristan1865]

I've always been surprised why many critics and readers insist that Claggart's persecution of Billy is due to some repressed homosexual feelings. Those who know Melville's book very well can easily refute this suggestion: the narrator makes it clear that Claggart's depravity isn't in any way connected with 'vulgar alloy'; 'In short [Melville here getting impatient!], the depravity here meant partakes nothing of the sordid or sensual'; 'Claggart's was no vulgar form of the passion'.

[MrMaxTruth]

@tristan1865 Wel said ! Unfortunatley its become all too hip to sexualy catergorise a book, film or a person because of a single passage or event. Many are of those phrases , are taken way out of context in order to promote their own "agenda" , from Billy Budd to Jesus Christ !

[RohRohToday]

Thought you read it. LOL.

[AntonioRepiso]

is that the wife of jimmy from boardwalk empire??!

[TheLoyalOfficer]

Thank you Carmella!

[bearmassaro]

Carmella trying to keep up appearences. Fucking hypocrite bitch...

[dasheiligeheerlager]

FUUCKING QUEEEERS!

[guitarkidsteve]

aj's expressions are the best in this scene lol

[elemento188]

GREAT hilarious scene.

-Im not gay

-You're not? *he stares Meadow* LOL

[bitterclinger100]

Meadow and her liberal bullshit. Marone!

[bearmassaro]

@bitterclinger100 It's "Madone" you Gavone... LoL...

[bitterclinger100]

@bearmassaro I thought it was just pronounced that way...lol

[bearmassaro]

@bearmassaro Nope it's really spelled like that. Yeah I understand that, most Italian words have letters that they never pronounce...

[mrtundra45]

LOL how Tony always PWNS people outta knowhere.... "no offense" LMAO

[hurley31]

This part isn't about Carmella's education or lack of it.  She is indirectly defending Furio in ths scene, that is why she gets so tetchy.

[floydmayweatherjr1]

@hurley31 Really? Do you mean she felt as if Tony bullied Furio and thats why he went back to Italy?

[hurley31]

@floydmayweatherjr1 I don't feel she thinks Tony bullied him, she wasn't intimate wth the inner workings of Tony and his colleagues. It's just that at this point in the series, she is p'ed off with Tony, and 'in love' with Furio, and with Furio's sudden departure her hurt has been magnified. Because Tony is the barrier between her and Furio she positions him (whether consciously or otherwise) as the big bully because she can't have what she wants because of him. She also has this .......

[hurley31]

@floydmayweatherjr1 .....romanticised view of Furio as a gentle, considerate type, the 'innocent sailor' being picked on by the 'evil boss' (she actually motions to Tony's direction subtly as she says this).

That's just my take, I could be wrong though :)

[Dilly5]

Another scene that shows why Sopranos is the best TV show of all time

[druha10304]

i like when tony looks at the guy and says no offfense ROFL

[MrJayra210]

great scene!!!!

[AngstFisch]

"Must be a gay book. Billy Budd is the ship's flourist right?"

[b4rn35y]

LOL AT 2:41 YOU'RE NOT??!!

[MrJayra210]

No offense...

I'm not gay..

You're not??

I was thinking the same thing ! ! !

[arrival35]

Alex is hot!!!

[Nokturn6]

@arrival35 she's even hotter in Boardwalk Empire

[KarlSalameh]

"No offense."

"Oh I'm not gay."

"You're not?"

"No.. >:l"

*Tony avoids eye-contact awkwardly*

I LAUGHED SO HARD.

[devmonbar]

This was a good scene. This show had some good writing. Soaps could learn a lot from it, then again, Soaps can't compare.

[jakep1979]

well the guy that wrote billy budd also wrote Moby-DICK! about a captain and a SPERM!! whale.

the defence rest.

[HardikG121]

Carmela is so stupid in this scene. In alot of the episodes in this show, she tries to portray herself, as cultured and educated; for example, when she goes to art museum and reads novels. However, she is just as uneducated as Tony, having never finished college.

[tryandlisten]

@HardikG121 I see what you're saying but you need to remember the context of the scene - Carmela at the time was obsessing over Furio and this was around the time he went back to Naples, thus she's in a bad mood. You're right, the character does try to portray herself as cultured and educated yet having that underlying "Jersey greaseball housewife" tone to her, but in this instance her obnoxious behaviour has a story behind it

[HardikG121]

@tryandlisten Yes, I guess you're right



[shatterjack]

haha tony's all mellow for once cause he wants to bang alex

[pancakehead911]

I always thought Meadow was an arrogant bitch. She grew up in a mansion, then acts like she knows first hand, the struggles of the world. She was the only one in the series who truly acted like her shit didn't stink.

[RomaVictor73]

Im not GAY!

[GregorHamilton]

@vleon1012 when you use words like uber anything no wonder people think you're a finook

[tonypanz]

@GregorHamilton Lmao thats the truth. If you refer to yourself as "uber-hot" id question your sexual preference too lol. Uber hot?...Sounds like a Paris Hilton quote!

[aroundtheworlda]

@GregorHamilton And when you use words like "Finook" everyone knows you're a wannabe italian gangster.

[GregorHamilton]

@aroundtheworlda better than being a CLOSET finook like you, that's even worse.

[aroundtheworlda]

@GregorHamilton Based on what? Your assessment was obvious from observation. *Sigh* Nevermind.

[bearmassaro]

@GregorHamilton Child.

[GregorHamilton]

@aroundtheworlda Well someones a little light in the loafers, did I hurt your feelings there ya fuckin poof?

[hdaaap]

i'd bang carmella..after her daughter of course.

[2StrokeSmokes]

this entire show carmela was such an idiot

[HardikG121]

@2StrokeSmokes I agree. She compulsive, stupid, and worst of all, greedy. Thats the only reason she is with her husband

[OdiseyThe]

no offense lol

[rickyd0821]

In reality they dont come more liberal than James Gandolfini, or Edie Falco. Funny, them playing devil's advocate here. Both are borderline commies. As with most Actor's.

[ALLIED7621]

@rickyd0821 stfu and get your shinebox

[rickyd0821]

@ALLIED7621  hAHAHA!

[Smokeherbs718215]

@rickyd0821 and what are you a bitchy conservative ? kill your self immediately

[rickyd0821]

@Smokeherbs718215 I'm a freethinker. communism/captailism, doesnt matter what sytem you believe in, they are all run by infalable humans.

[YouriH190]

Carmela can be such a simple minded idiot sometimes hehe

[jetelegen]

I'll calm down when people stop making outlandish, homophobic claims on the internet. Sound fair to you?

And by the way, what the fuck is "biggest targets are white females" supposed to mean? Does your homophobic worldview include some delusion that The Gay Agenda" is going to crowd out Caucasians with vaginas? I don't know...I see plenty of 'em everyday, and few complain that gay people are interfering with their way of life. Maybe the media's secretly controlling them.

[ALLIED7621]

@jetelegen you too, can stfu and get your shinebox

[jetelegen]

@ALLIED7621 That's so original on a Sopranos clip, man. Where did you think it up (aside from every fucking Phil clip)?

[ALLIED7621]

@jetelegen well a little originality is good especially after I just went away from the norm with the panting dog position with your mother last night

[jetelegen]

@ALLIED7621 Just how empty is your existence, out of curiosity?

[ALLIED7621]

@jetelegen talkin about my dick?

[jetelegen]

It is interesting that they talk about Billy Budd rather than Moby Dick. The homoerotic stuff in Moby Dick is more or less impossible to ignore (you'd have to somehow convince yourself that two men who just met, lying in bed in one another's arms, is completely innocent).

[jetelegen]

Carmela is pathetic here. Look how she almost creams herself over Meadow "living with Spanish royalty." Because, as we know, royalty is an indication of worth.

It's only natural for women who have done as little with their intellectual potential as Carmela has to resent the fuck out of anyone challenging social norms.

[caMboDJA88]

1.45 uhhh awkward ... hahahhaa

[CrociatoAzzurro]

1:55 - 2:00

Carmela's correct. Everybody knows that this agenda has been pushed for the last 15 years. Biggest targets are white females.

[jetelegen]

@CrociatoAzzurro What the fuck are you talking about? Melville's the most homoerotic writer EVER. Read Moby Dick (for the first time, clearly). It's not pushing an agenda to point out a very obvious interpretation of a text.

[CrociatoAzzurro]

@jetelegen

Calm yourself, boy. I'm not talking about the book. I'm talking about the stuff we see in media EVERYDAY.

[CrociatoAzzurro]

1:39 - 1:49

lol @ T's stare to Meadow living with straight guys.

[GabrielKraus]

"You're NOT"

no:

lmao - THAT WAS AWESOME!

[ehabq]

when she said "you ever thought of that", the first thing came to mind is "you fat fuckin scum bag" lmao chrisy

[Supervisor69]

Poor Carmella ... OWNED

mabye hes gay you ever thought about that ""

LOL

>:D

[Avngingandbright]

Edie Falco is so hot. Plus she would let me say the word "faggot" in front of her. Not many women like that these days.

[justentime77]

God, everytime you see Tony and Carmella get around anyone with half an education, their ignorance becomes abundantly clear. I think the fact that they had Meadow actually outgrow them intellectually was a pretty interesting move with the writing.

[Agent1W]

@justentime77 Happens all the time in RL. But you know what? I would always want my children to do better than I did.

[Avngingandbright]

The Sopranos is the greatest show in the history of mankind because of dialogue like this

[Gambino199]

hahaha i laugh so hard when carmella says "well maybe he's gay" oh god that shit is hilarious! the sopranos was a comedy, i laughed so much on that show

[Whyrweherereally]

Tony rocks this fukin vid

[Gambino199]

hahahah i was on the floor when the guy said im not gay and tony goes "your not!?!"

[Gambino199]

lmao go to rutgers i guess! yeah like aj's dumbass could ever get into a schoo like that!

[cjaygrove]

You gotta love college students

[Apocalypse4Lyfe]

Carmela needs to get some.

[sopranosfan87]

carmella is such a miserable cu*t!

[jamilioestevez]

THOUGHT YOU READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jiveturkey25]

Finn was totally the opposite of Jackie Jr. For instance, Jackie, Jr. seemed more Italian than Finn was.

[thePWNranger]

"i'm not gay"

"you're not!?"

xD

[madbandicooot]

The world is full of beautiful women!!!

[MurphGiovanni]

carmella was just in a bad mood because she didn't get the chance to suck furio's pony tail before that greezy zip went back to naples

[devildoll1212]

Carmela is unsophisticated, but Meadow comes across as a pretentious spoiled princess, parroting the viewpoint of a politically correct professor. David Chase doesn't let anyone off the hook.

[jet33177]

@devildoll1212 Fair point, but I'd go way beyond "unsophisticated" here. She's flipping out over A (not the, but a) valid read of the book.

What little power Carmela (and the other women in her generation on the show) have is based entirely upon her ability to uphold traditional models marriage and procreation. That's why they're so threatened by homosexuality.

Remember how Phil's wife (and all of the women, actually) responded to Vito?

[MurphGiovanni]

@jet33177 you're analyzing deeper than necessary...good points, but carmella was just sexually frustrated...they could've been talking about anything that night and carmella would've "flipped out"...although i agree that she is a moron...she was just pissed that furio left the country w/o sleeping w/ her...sexually frustrated women can get pretty evil sometimes

[TheWackadooFuckhead]

@MurphGiovanni no offense, but you come off as a bit of a cunt

[MurphGiovanni]

@TheWackadooFuckhead lol @ "no offense"

[TheWackadooFuckhead]

@MurphGiovanni sorry slick, please allow me to rectify/extend my original comment: 'no offenCe, but you come off as a bit of a greasey fuckball, and after meeting you I have decided I am in favor of abortion in severe cases of incest'

now go sit down and give your mind a rest

[msa1985]

@devildoll1212 yeah the only shit i hated about this fucking show was the shit i hate about people in real life. he was on point with every aspect of this show.

from the awkward stupid converstion enders to the idiot insecure mobsters repeating a joke they said 3 seconds before, it was flawless. those fights between tony and carmella towards the end were great.

in retrospect, I agree the entire series is a masterpiece.

[Tokopol]

@devildoll1212 Quite brilliant, If I do say so.

[Boobalopbop]

@devildoll1212 I wish Carm would just holdback and slap that smug little snot silly. This was around the time I started to hate Meadow. Out of one side of her mouth making snide remarks about the way her father makes money and mocking her mom like an ignorant quido... But she doesn't mind using her dad's dirty money to go to Columbia University and wouldn't get a job on her own and getting allowance from them.

[J0k3r4U]

@devildoll1212 what the fuck are ya talking about?

:o

[littlea511]

tony was proud of himself after that joke he makes

[MurphGiovanni]

@littlea511 he was proud of himself? why, because he smirked a little? not like he got up and took a bow and thanked everyone for coming out...what do you want him to do, keep an entirely stone face like he is playing poker?

[littlea511]

@MurphGiovanni he shoulda atleast started break dancing after that joke

[MurphGiovanni]

@littlea511 yeah, and you should suck the italian oils off tony's hairy sausage

[littlea511]

@MurphGiovanni wow u are a loser

[MurphGiovanni]

@littlea511 sorry...i usually respond a little harshly to ultra lame jokes..."tony shoulda at least started break dancing"...fuck outta here...that's not even funny by accident, or stupid funny...it's just stupid

[littlea511]

@MurphGiovanni whatever ...i wrote what i wrote im not gonna lose sleep over what some jerkoff has to say about my comment on fuckin youtube

[MurphGiovanni]

@littlea511 well...your youtube comments are at least somewhat indicative of your personality, right...so i'm just trying to help you out...maybe you could make a few friends in real life if you accepted that you're a douche and worked from there...admitting you have a problem is step one

[littlea511]

@MurphGiovanni holy shit ,just give up with this shit,go get fuckin laid and stop trying to sound smart ,how did my comment affect your life????where u have to keep replying on this shit ,u are the only douch who keeps goin on with this ,if my comment was stupid to u im sorry for that ....and i am a asshole not a douch

[MurphGiovanni]

@littlea511 you can't stop replying either, can you? hypocrite

[littlea511]

@MurphGiovanni u are right lets put an end to this ..the funny thing is we both enjoy the same show ..whats your favorite scene? or episode?

[PaulGilbertIsGod2]

carmela is acting strange because this is right after furio went to italy.

[Pat2296]

"I didn't even know they had fags back then!" A.J.'s stupidity knew no bounds.

[MobHeataEnt]

- No offense,

Im not gay lol. damn i loved sopranos for their little catchy lines like that.

[Mrster]

HAHAHA cracks me up everytime, just look at Tony's ":3"-face when he says no offense.

"I'm not gay"

"You're not?"

Smooth, T. Smooth.

[MurphGiovanni]

finn has the personality of a moth...i wish vito fucked him up the ass while wearing a construction hard hat

[TheSitcomGuy]

lol what was Tony's florist joke?

[caesaurio]

-No ofence.

-I'm not gay.

-You are not?

LOL

[ChipHugger]

Tony wants Alex so bad.

[nosferatudasvampir]

This is one of my fave scenes in the series. Works on SO many levels! :-D

[SamWhitemoon1]

Infanta-De-Gracia = CUNT

No offense .. i thought that dude was Gay too...!

[Pat2296]

"I didn't know they even had fags back then!" A.J. the genius.

[tthomaselli2]

1:22.; "I don't know...".

(**If my kid answeared his mother with that, I'd smack the ever-lovin' piss out of him.**.).

[killomata27]

@tthomaselli2 take a chill pill bro....-_-.

[Thekids88]

wow dude chill dude why would u hit a ur son

[tthomaselli2]

You see all the times that Tony cracked A.J. a few good times in the show?...: Exactly my point.: :) .

[Thekids88]

child abuse = fail

[tthomaselli2]

In Tony's case, win.

[snowstormcan]

Carmella's a total twat in this clip

[thelonedissenter]

@snowstormcan she's always a twat. fit for nothing.

[Mark53190]

@snowstormcan dude shes a total cunt 95% of the time lol

[mizkex]

2:35, that happened to me B4. In 4th grade we were suppose to read Number The Stars . I didn't and on the day we watched ":Miracle at Midnight" I saw girls shooting machine guns at Nazi's. I was like "Woah!" of course Ari could always be counted on, "That was is the book, Ms Rose he didn't read the book!"

[curak76]

1:41 to 1:45

I cracked up so bad when I saw this the first time.

[akadura]

@curak76 LOOOOOOOOOOOOol

[zcrosby]

tony never stops makin jokes except when he's pissed off. either he's joking around, talking intensely, or throwing a total fit. if he ain't laughing, look out.

[StyrbjornStarke]

haha tony always has the best jokes

[downtownford]

god that must be embarrassing.... being mistaken for being gay lol

[1985snowball]

Happens to me all the time!!

[orduni90]

that alex girl is very beautiful!!

[DTDB1225]

[missionauto]

@DTDB1225 ya id stretch her asshole

[Lillogambino]

@orduni90 ohhhh yeah...

[Lillogambino]

@orduni90 I love when she says "infanta di gracia"

[damienmetalwind]

[orduni90]

@damienmetalwind WTF u talkin about?

[damienmetalwind]

@orduni90

[orduni90]

i hate how these younger ones talk, especially because they go to college and shit, all the sudden they wanna sound like rich arrogant white ppl!

[EchoBoomer1987]

I love the awkward silence at the end. XD

[slank58958]

such a classic scene especially tonys wise crack

[greekgator01ss]

meadow, in the later seasons, became so dang hot.

[Joefonzgoldenarms]

lol ehhh my wife too for that matter ha rofl... also i love when carm says "evil boss" she gestures at tony and the camera points at him

[hschan4]

Well you have to admit that Tony has real 'Bluto' feel to him lol

[slank58958]

"i dident know they had fags back then." aj you jackass
