The Sopranos 5x4 "All Happy Families" REACTION!!

[@tidepride86]

Lol the young Ric Flair guy was David Lee Roth. Lead singer of Van Halen. The black guy Tony bowed to was Lawrence Taylor. One of the NFL greats

[@Zseventyone]

Beat me to it!

[@raineyj560]

​@@Zseventyonesame lol

[@YourMothersMan]

Its crazy to not recognize Lawrence Taylor 😂😂

[@KBdoubleo3]

I like how this one shows how Tony has evolved as a boss since season 2. He quickly identifies Feech as a threat, and Carmela's conversation about how all his guys are yes men who are terrified of him leads to Tony noticing Feech not laughing at his joke, suggesting he's not scared of the boy king, and will continue going behind his back and maybe eventually planning a hit. It's basically a replay of the Richie situation, except this time Tony learns from his past experience and nips the issue in the bud.

[@marcuscato9083]

Sadly, Feech was basically written off the show because the actor (Robert Loggia) was having trouble remembering his lines. It later turned out that he had Alzheimers.

[@liteflightify]

That was rumored but has never been confirmed by anyone. Also, it makes sense story wise for Tony to get rid of a Ralph/Richie type personality when they show up.

[@erikchristensen822]

Not sadly. His character sucked.

[@theramplocal]

Shame too. He was such a badazz for being an old man lol

[@theramplocal]

I didn't pick up that tony was testing them w that wack joke, the one where they slow mo on feech not laughing. I'm a stunad!

[@marcuscato9083]

@@theramplocal That's the greatest part of the show, you pick up something new everytime. All the pieces matter.

[@stobe187]

One of my absolute favorite moments on the show is A.J claiming that he couldn't get a cab in _New York_ and Tony's stupefied "did you just really try if that excuse would fly" facial expression :DD

[@MB-rt9dq]

Formal mentioned he recgonized Phil Leotardos face from somewhere: he was in a bunch of older mob movies. Most famously he was in Goodfellas and Casino

Robert Iler's performance as AJ is underrated in my opinion. AJ is generally hated and for good reason, but the performance is great.

[@leonagnew895]

Agreed. And Robert Iler has never even watched the show.

[@theramplocal]

I hear you man. The point of aj is to be the annoying rich kid w his own teenage problems. He did a great job imo

[@amyamyamy777]

He’s hated so much because most young men find him relatable and hate that part of themselves.

[@Cream-2128]

@@amyamyamy777he’s hated because he’s a dick and very few kids act like him.

[@Cbricklyne]

Fun fact : @18:46 So the same thing happened with Tony and his mom, Livia, in season 1, but it was in reverse. Tony's trying to get away from Livia and as he's leaving the house practically running away he trips and falls on the stairs banging his knee. The camera cuts back to Livia with a smirk on her face. AJ didn't pull off the self-satisfied smirk nearly as effectively as Livia did, but it was a really cool reverse call-back that David Chase did there between both generations of mothers and their sons and one of each or the other trying to run away from the other.

[@psycictree27]

Feech is the same guy, whose story Ralph told to Jackie Aprille and his friend Jason about robbing the card game, then taking inspiration from that story, Jackie and his friends robbed the card game in which Furio was shot, and it went horribly wrong for Jackie.

[@theramplocal]

They had to do it before the crank wore off lol

[@LateCambrian]

FYI, the long haired man at the card game is David Lee Roth, original Singer for Van Halen. He’s playing himself in the episode…

[@nic.1673]

the dude that plays phil is from goodfellas, the one that de niro and joe pesci beat to death in the bar

[@Sig509]

True, but Phil was (Frank Vincent) was also in Casino, although not in a such memorable scene.

[@ARWG]

best reaction yet, was fucking dying laughing. Tony's double take when he first looks at AJ is a contender for funniest moment in the entire show.

[@Nefoxzxz]

It’s a shame they cut out the best part “what went on up there?! Poppers and weird sex!?”

[@BayAreaMike99]

9:18 Lmfaoo AJ about to pull a How High💀

[@marcuscato9083]

Regarding the word 'deck' as used by AJ, I'm from the burbs and I never heard anyone use it like that. Must be unique to AJ. 😂

[@theramplocal]

Aj has many slang words under his subspecies

[@chuckleezodiac24]

AJ, stop trying to make 'deck' happen! It's not going to happen!

[@thesunbehindthesun1574]

I've only heard it like "I got xyz on deck" or otherwise saying like I got it

[@qualityesports7802]

24:24 “Lil Mayweather” nahhh that’s fked up now I can’t unsee it 💀

[@francisalbert1799]

Tony was bowing to Lawrence Taylor (NY Giants) who is arguably the best Line backer of all time. Giants played in the Meadowlands that’s why he said Sir Lawrence of the Meadowlands.

[@ztomas1]

At 5:34 - Phil Leotardo (played by the late Frank Vincent) was in several mob movies such as Casino, and Good Fellas

[@ztomas1]

At 8:28 - I'm not sure you recognized him but that "black man" is Lawrence Taylor Hall of Fame linebacker for the NY Giants, I'm sure if it was any regular black man Tony wouldn't be acting like that

[@PhilospherStoned]

the jokes yall were cracking when they showed AJ’s shaved eyebrows were killing me man 😂😂😂 EMPEROR PALPATINE!?? EDWARD SCISSORHANDS??? UNCLE FESTER??? LMFAOOOO edit: on a more serious note- i think it’s understandable why people don’t like AJ especially during these later seasons but i always point towards the parenting. more so being able to just spend actual time with AJ doing stuff he wanted to do, idk if yall remember when Tony was giving AJ such a hard time for playing Nintendo after that football game where he recovered that fumble. if he had more of that quality time where he was doing stuff he enjoyed with Tony and Carmela, he definitely wouldn’t be the way he is now. or he could’ve just stayed a complete asshole because he still has this idea of being able to get away with shit because his Dad is a crime boss.

[@newjojosupercutsandmore2489]

Frank Vincent is Phil’s actor, he played Billy Bats in Goodfellas and Frankie in Casino, he was Joe Pesci’s best friend and worked with him in a comedy duo

[@andygossard4293]

You guys make The Sopranos even more fun.

[@leutianleyva5116]

it's interesting how season 5 fully decents into tonys villain ark. up until now tony's been rational and at least somewhat relatable, now he's become a gluttonous narcissist obsessed with destroying everyone and everything having a better life than he is.

[@anironiccoolness]

5:36 He's in Goodfellas and a few others, I just know him from that and Sopranos though.

[@shotgun_shaun]

This is one of my favorite episodes, I don't know why. Maybe it's coming from a personal place whose parents were divorced and there was definite similar things with AJ I related to.

[@GuamoKun]

One of the funniest episodes

[@nancyscogin7549]

That multi car theft at the wedding stands out in my mind to this day.😆😆 I thought it was genius!

[@LaCheeserie]

and so dirty of Feech how he heard about the wedding at the card game and first thought is ripe picking. these guys always looking for a "job"

[@theramplocal]

Feech was def a thorn in Tony's side, he had to go

[@woahblackbettybamalam]

Formal that Ric Flair looking guy was David Lee Roth from Van Halen

[@KillstormSH]

Early 2000s yellow Nissan gang!! Except mine was a '03 Sentra. Man, I miss that car so much. Seeing that yellow Xterra is such a trip to me since last year before I got my Pathfinder, I almost got an older Xterra since those cars are tanks. AJ could easily get 200k miles on that thing if he were driving it today lmao

[@gbrazor]

Great job in catches Feech’s decision to keep the truck as a test from Tony. I never picked up on that from the 10 plus times I’ve seen this episode. If Feech just hears Chris and Benie’s story out and decides not to take the truck, that shows Tony that Feech really listened to what he said about making side deals but if he keeps it then he obviously didn’t learn his lesson and he should go back to jail.
