sabbathtribute you have to realize tony was severely chronically depressed. He could not stand to see anyone close to him truly happy. Just like at dinner with his sister Janice and Bobby and their kids. Janice is doing well and Tony sees it, becomes jealous and immediately sabotages it

[@kidnameless]

0:24-0:30 That little non-verbal exchange between Chris and Tony B. is priceless. Both feel the temptation to turn the joke on Tony and ridicule him for his hypocrisy.

[@saturn580]

Nobody hates like family. Such a brilliantly tragic scene. I love how the Sopranos characters were written the way people really talk in private. It makes scenes like this feel so raw and emotional. Many writers fall into the trap of trying too hard to make their characters sound edgy or profound at the expense of realism and it just falls flat.

[@nunya1738]

Tony can never stop coveting other peoples' efforts to better themselves, gain self control or appear happy. Janice, exhibiting the patience, from her own anger management classes or the like, in the kitchen, on the phone (another episode), when he is over her and Bobby's for dinner. He has to push her buttons, bring up her kid from earlier, which her step kids didn't know about, and needle her regarding some abandonment. Misery loves its company.

[@nitekilla]

While that's true, I was kinda glad he put Janice in her place. In a show about *mobsters* who rob, kill and go about their business, she's one of the most vile & despicable characters. And her anger management obviously wasn't gonna last... it was just an half-assed effort to placate Bobby after he threatened to leave her if she'd go on like that. so all Tony did was prick a balloon.

[@nunya1738]

ChemicallyImbalanced She is maybe THE worst character, as to character, I agree, and of course it couldn't last, for the show, or she would cease to be of so much interest or use. But Bobby HAD gotten to her, and she WAS trying, and in the context of the writing, I think it was yet another instance, like I mentioned, they wanted to showcase, not the humor of a balloon prick with a predictable end. The scuzzy fashion of being hurtful, and in front of helpless pawns that are Bobby's children, with a dead mother and step mother they pretty much disliked but are now appreciating some for the first time...a happy HOME going on, well...it is still, I maintain, more by design about Tony, and happy, and misery loving company. He covets, and walks out satisfied when chaos and misery have returned to that happy home, smoking his cigar walking up the street, at least in my memory. PEACE

[@nunya1738]

UnknownUser She IS the worst of them all, very true. No accountability, i.e. wants the muscle aspect without the risk. Even when she shot her husband, it was a call to her big brother, clean my mess.

[@Iamyourpapa1]

Not to mention the facial express that's been solidify anger representing threat and intimidation to no end.

[@mattcavy4459]

I think Tony knew Janice better than anyone and he had zero care of her feelings. If anything he would want her and Bobby to split up since her last bf ended up with a bunch of bullets in his chest. Granted Bobby and Tony had their issues but that only started when Janice came around and Bobby was starting to become a good earner by doing enforcement work and not asking questions because of a need to earn without Junior.

This scene is incredible. It shows Tony's true colors.

Insulting his own family for the sake of smiles and laughs. If you notice in this scene, all three of them are eating together but separated from the rest of the restaurant (world). No matter how hard Tony tries to say his gang is a family, they really are just alone with or without each other.

It's sad not because it's just simple "balls busting" and Chris can't handle it, but because it is just the continuation of the bullying that Tony S. and Tony B. directed to Chrissy when they were younger. It was mentioned before that Christopher just wanted to be "cool" and to hangout with them when they were kids, but with the age difference and stuff, was just picked on instead. It still hurts when old stitches are removed, even after being adults and even after many years. Most painful is the fact that the two Tony's doesn't realize the influence they had.

Christ. Christopher is genuine in wanting to stay sober and these two do him no favors. Chrissy was right here. Sobriety is hard enough to maintain and is even worse when hanging out with family who do not understand what it is like.

I had a semester and half of college, so I know a thing or two about Freud. Tony and Tony really started to get to Chrissy.

Chris was so sensitive. Could never take a joke when it was in his direction

[@thedangerwich5476]

i mean, they were kind of grouping on him.

[@hardrocker_9676]

Who cares if he was sensitive would you really want a bunch of Dickheads ganging up on you and talking trash about you sometimes that’s hard to take.

[@balt3562]

He was a hardcore alcoholic/ addict. Attacking addicts into doing things that Tony said he'd kill him if he did it again is kinda fucked up

[@Octopetala]

@@thedangerwich5476 only cause of how badly he took the first joke in his direction

[@oranginator]

you completely don’t understand this scene

[@gomigman5936]

That was the best scene of the entire series, and that's a tough one to call since there are 400+ great scenes. Arguably the greatest TV series of all time. It had it's lows with some episodes centering around some of the lesser important characters and their struggles, but all in all, an absolute classic. Hard to believe this started in 1999 and ended in 2007. Seems like just yesterday. James Gandolfini's passing just closed the lid on any movie or more Sopranos sequels, despite the death scene in the finale. It would've been great to see who killed him. Naturally it was New York, but who would've been great to know although leaving it like that adds a lot to the series' greatness.

This was actually really saddening.

but not as sad as when he got drunk in the bing and was talking about his kid to paulie and everyone was laughing at him.

[@timothygumenik726]

@@SiccDeville knowing Christopher, I’m honestly amazed how didn’t put a bullet in Paul after making that joke-even while drunk.

[@GOsborn-o6x]

That look at 3:31 is so relatable. You’re still processing the raw feeling of a deeply personal insult cast by those close to you. Instinct says to explode but rationale says just take a quick breath and keep things status quo. It’s a decision made in a split second. The growing anger/betrayal is at bay but just barely. Sucky feeling for sure, especially when they are openly mocking you under the guise of just joking.

[@disengagedsage737]

Tony didn't want Christopher to be sober. It's no fun drinking alone.

[@itachee08]

Scenes like this is what sets Sopranos above all other golden age TV dramas in my opinion. The way it captures the little things like 2 shitty friends ganging up on the other is masterful, or Tony whipping Zelman.

[@armondfeffer4572]

I think around here is when Tony’s antihero traits really began to outweigh his charm and compassion. Never really redeemed himself after fucking over Chris like this

[@laurasutcliffe723]

Damn, I think Christopher was probably the most self loathing of all these people (aside from Tony and Phil). He truly seemed to hate himself, and really disliked the control, pecking order, paranoia, and the overall burden of being in the Mafia. "Chris, you're in the Mafia"

The way chris threw his drink down unhappy that it wasnt alcoholic says a lot about addiction.

Tony is a hypocrite, basically forced Christopher into rehab by pretty much telling him that he’d be killed if he didn’t get clean. And then complain when he is clean for being boring.

The characters may not have actually cared for each other but I like to imagine they were friends irl. The actors that is.
