20 Hilarious Silvio Dante Moments From "The Sopranos"

[@glock38]

Silvio was always the strong, silent type that Tony so admired.

[@stormedcapone]

Unless it's during gambling, discrimination against Italians, anything that gets in the way of the jets first home game, or when a stripper who owes him money disappears for days

[@Andre-by4su]

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

The scene where Tony finally goes to visit Sil in the hospital and his loving wife (in both real life and Sopranos) is there clipping his toenails, ever loyal to her man. No words are spoken, she just looks at Tony and smiles and then Tony takes Sil's hand (mirroring the time Tony was in a coma and Silvio took his hand).

[@CaptainColdyron222]

Tony: “Let me ask you a question. You think Ralph’s a little weird about women?” Sil: “I don’t know, Tone. I mean, he beat one to death.”

[@walaacademy7292]

Ricky Roma David Chase just liked him. So much so that he originally wanted him for Tony (until JG cane along and nailed it), but it’s not nepotism.

[@Marek-gn9jn]

He acted on stage his whole life before

He just showed up to set one day and started impersonating pacino, and they just shot around him. That’s when David Chase decided to add Silvio’s character to the story.

[@jamesteegardner2273]

I have so many old school Italian relatives that actually think that way. My cousin came out to his parents as gay back in 1993, it was the last time that they ever spoke. My own mother told me, at the time I was a 13 year old kid, that if I ever said anything like that to her that I should just forget that I even have a mother. Sure it's funny to watch, but it's sad cause this shit is real. I thank God that I never had to hide my sexuality, or confront my parents cause I was lucky enough to be born straight. If I wasn't so lucky, I wouldn't be talking to my mom or been allowed at my father's funeral, just like my poor cousin.

[@jsmith4094]

A) it's a fictional show. Calm down. B) if you are going to make the argument that it glorifies violence towards women and thereby causes violence towards women, then recognize that essentially is the same argument congress tried to make in the 1980's against rap music- it glorifies and therefore causes violence towards cops. Or against heavy metal in the 90's- it causes suicide. Or against rock n roll in the 50's. It causes delinquency and promiscuity. Or against video games today- they desensitize kids and make them violence prone.

[@TheWonderStraw]

@@jsmith4094 I wasn't saying any of that. I'm not making a moral point so much as I'm saying the scene is out of place with the theme of the video. The title of video is "Hilarious moments." The only other scene with any kind of violence is when he shoots Jimmy Altieri and he at least makes a quip before he offs him. In the scene Im talking about its not like he says something clever, he just smacks her around. Was there some joke in there I missed?

[@jsmith4094]

@@TheWonderStraw I would say in the context of the show that counts as a humorous line. I mean, #3 was silvio casually deciding someone should die, not a basically funny premise, but in the context of the show, that line does take on a humorous aspect. Also I would say that it is an art form, and like all art, a person's interpretation is subjective. What some see as beautiful, others see as ugly.
