[@Aivottaja]

Junior wasn't incompetent. Tony was often asking him for advice. He was just disrespected, behind the times and marred by insecurity. As for why he was disrespected, I have no idea. Maybe it was because of his kid brother's shadow. He was made before Junior and was apparently old man DeMeo's second in command in the whole pygmy thing. Junior was behind him as long as he was alive. He was just kind of obsolete and too keen of the title and (feigned) respect to be a boss. He was easily manipulated by appealing to this need for validation. But he knew the mob business. He worked better as advisor or number two.

Folks saying the writers were careless in letting Jackie Jr accompany Richie to this meeting might be forgetting that the writers nailed everything with this show. This scene wasn’t the writers’ carelessness, it was their foreshadowing of how Richie’s own carelessness would bring him down. Richie’s constant inability to rationalize things properly (and in the process dispensing with some of the mafia’s norms) would continue getting him in jams. That’s apparent from his bringing Jackie Junior - perhaps an associate at this point and albeit the son of the former boss - who was not a made guy to this discussion of a potential coup against the current boss of the family. Richie’s carelessness and Junior’s hold over Richie by not specifically calling out Richie’s faults (like other folks do) is in full display as Junior dismisses Jackie Junior the moment he speaks but doesn’t tell Richie that he messed up by bringing JJ. Unlike Richie, from just receiving a brief recap of the captains’ feedback to the potential coup, Junior immediately assesses the landscape - the other captains not going along with Richie wasn’t out of fear but stemmed from their lack of respect for him. Those other captains were willing to follow Tony, a hot headed selfish guy who for all his faults still believed in la costa nostra. Richie’s carelessness didn’t allow him to read those cues and Junior, once again maintaining his hold over Richie, takes a patriarchal stance (“You’re a good boy Richie”) but doesnt say a word or school Richie about his folly. Junior sends Richie home without providing any insight. That lack of insight and the constant failure to read the cues plague Richie right until his demise in a situation where he once again, failed to read the cues and acted carelessly; taunting an angry and hysterical gun-toting Janice.

+Caligae Richie Aprile was trying to rally support amongst the capos to take Tony out. Recently in terms of that season, Tony ruled against Larry Barese's favor in a garbage contract and tried to use that to convince Barese that Tony was being an unfair boss and should be taken out. However, both Albert and Larry declined to support Richie's move, which sent Junior the message that Richie wasn't persuasive or respected enough to take Tony's place as boss, so he decided that Richie was overall useless and let Tony know Richie's plans. However, if Albert was okay with Richie taking Tony out, Junior would have gone with Richie sending the message to Junior that the capos would rather have another boss. This whole situation was some masterful mind games in Junior's part.

20 years ago when I first watched this show, I had no respect for Junior and thought he was pointless, probably how he got played in Season1 by Tony into believing he was the boss. Rewatching now, I see him as one of the smartest players in the game

[@bornfromforeign]

0:52 always get me 😂😂😂😂😂

[@roundhouse283]

Janice could sell it, and she sold it Richie.

- I have friends in federal holding who... - He was a great friend of my father... my father, my father, and my father ...

[@ihateallthethings2683]

It makes me sad nothing will ever be as good as this show was. It’s literally fucking perfect from front to back

[@pappyprimetime7510]

Old man Profaci was a great character. I wish we would’ve seen more of him

[@brittanyrodin932]

That is what is great about the show. A lot of it is between the lines. You have to read the expressions the actors give and the subtext to their decisions and motives. A weaker show would have spell it out for someone by having Bobby confess his regrets to a priest or ask Tony not to. But the Sopranos is one of the only shows that trusts in it's audiences intelligence.

[@Thejbirdy]

Bobby...of all the Sopranos characters why did he seem innocent in some way? Great actors...

[@mjremy2605]

1:03 - Junior "We got to screw our courage to the post" Straight out of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Lady Macbeth, "We fail! But screw your courage to the sticking-place and we'll not fail!" She was trying to persuade Macbeth to kill Duncan, the king of Scotland. Similar to the plot to kill Tony, the king of this crime family. David Chase did his homework. Sopranos fans - go read some Shakespeare. Incredible stories, great prose, and memorable plots.

[@JohnLoCicero]

I wish they did more with Old Man Profaci. He was my favorite character on the show.

[@RB2331]

John....now that was good bro...even I didn't think to rock that mfkrs name ...very funny !

[@jakep1979]

That guy knew how to split his enemies!!!

[@be4unvme]

i like that roach that passed on bobby's shirt, that roach was my favorite character

[@UenoHarajuku]

Old Man Profaci died of liver cancer in 1962.

[@eyesthatshine]

Caesar knew how to split his enemies. Oh wait, they split him.

[@marquesjohnson6359]

Junior " who's that speaking " LOL 🤣😂 he had some of the funniest lines throughout the show

[@ihatealigators]

I love Richie's 'god admnit' look away when Jackie starts talking

[@oza8578]

Man, I loved this series! I watch these clips during my lunch in my car! Lol I gotta watch the whole series over again. For like the 20th time.

[@GinaSanchez_]

Bobby is my favorite, he's so sweet, he's a devoted husband a dad he just happens to also be a criminal lol

[@jkuang]

An extremely complicated plot in the series is explained clearly in several sentences of mumbling. This is great screen writing.

[@MarkyD1967]

“We’ve gotta screw our courage to the post.” LOL.

[@TheBonaparteReport]

something tells me bobby did learn something. feels like he evolved into a more confident and savvy character starting with this season.

[@CornyBum]

Bobby, alone on his knees before an entire lasanga: 2:45

[@patricksobb5762]

I never understood why Jackie Jr was allowed at these meetings, seems unrealistic. He wasn't made and he was barely an associate. Yet he's listening in on a plan to take out a boss? No way

[@johnlewisbrooks]

I love how jr totally ignores Jackie lmao!

[@tanveerhasan2382]

_Very allegorical_

[@slydEvil35]

1:55 little detail I didn’t notice. Junior goes from “I” to “we” which I think shows how much he loved Bobby and considered him untouchable

[@rainey3247]

Bobby is in awe of the refrigerator. He's amazed at how the little light turns on and off

[@tobyjones205]

Ever notice how Jackey backs away when Junior stands up?

[@bobby8536]

Yeah, it's so the camera can get the one on one with Junior and Ritchie

[@eyesthatshine]

Jackie don't have his button. If you don't have a button you're kind of invisible.

[@malayaleeking]

Plus the fact that Junior doesn't even dignify him. Such good directing. EDIT: Look at Richie's face when Jackie starts talking.

[@christiansoldier77]

"Who's that speaking here ? Is somebody speaking ? " LOL I love Junior . Low key best character on the show. I love all of his intrigues and machinations . The writers should have been pistol whipped for making him go senile. SMH

[@ronyeahright9536]

Hyman Roth always takes care of his partners.

[@markmac2206]

or letting Livia outsmart him, lost all cred right there.

[@pantheriana1240]

“Pay attention! You just may learn something here”

[@gentull1056]

This show was groundbreaking. Talk about paving the way for so many others shows that followed. Without the sopranos and its brilliant anti villain character a lot of the hit shows that came afterwards would cease to exist. Like Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Dexter, Ozark, Better Call Saul, House of Cards, etc.

[@jars7774]

You say that as if any of the shows you listed hadn’t been already in someone’s brain, spending time thinking over characters and plots and all the things that go into writing for TV.

[@cthulawha]

you know Dexter was running at the same time right?

[@panagiotisdedes9695]

Jackie "You knew my father" Aprile

Love the 1950's kitchen and wallpaper

[@nuckinfuts7610]

16yrs later and you're STILL getting comments on this vid. Not surprised, this show is brilliant and timeless.

[@Paceasanatateamanituieacerseta]

Who's that speaking here? Is somebody speaking?

[@nuckinfuts7610]

​@@Paceasanatateamanituieacerseta you respected my fawtha, you respect my comment. Which came straight from your sista's © ** t.

[@pettylabelle8361]

​@@nuckinfuts7610LOL 😂 I don't gotta love you, but I WILL respect you.

[@gentull1056]

​@@nuckinfuts7610I say we cut all ties with Mr Magoo....end this embarrassment right now. He reminds me of people's feet.

[@cdr861532]

Bobby was a true soldier.....he heard Junior talk about killing Tony more than once....but when he moved over to Tony's crew....he never mentioned it......Bobby was a weird guy....but he played his cards close.

[@faaaaaabba]

Junior is a perfect example of street smart guy.

[@gregmottola8539]

Junior was the only one who never forgot Old Man Profacci.

[@ronyeahright9536]

well, in one scene Junior said it was old man Profaci that gave him his first hand job.

[@gaddyify]

Unc wasn't no joke, he knew the game🤣

[@O.G.H.]

Did someone else notice Richies annoyed look in his face when Jackie starts speaking?

[@kimberlytyrcha5930]

Why did Richie bring Jackie Jr. with him to this meeting? Jackie Jr. had no business even being there.

[@O.G.H.]

Kimberly Tyrcha Never understood that either. Little shit probably thought he had any power because of his father and uncle

[@Howard.Stern.]

He explains why he brings him. Richie hates that his son is a flambe. So he hangs around with Jackie Jr. as a replacement for his own son. He tries the same with AJ but Tony forbids him from seeing him. Jackie was the same age as his own son Little Ricky. And Jackie was probably good to hang around with for Richie because he wanted nothing more than to win over Richie's approval and enter into the mafia. He was the ultimate 'yes man' for Richie.

[@stephengrigg5988]

that look seemed like a fatherly "quite down son" I didn't think he was disappointed
