[@magallanesagustin4952]

​@@Whocares792and cheese.

[@RealTalkOrWalk]

Patsy Peresi was one of the most underrated characters on this show. Tony had his twin brother killed by GiGi (another highly underrated character) and he knew it… yet he STILL stayed loyal until the very end. He put aside his completely understandable hatred of Tony and became one his his most trusted Capos & was one of the MVPs of the war with the Lupertazzi family.

[@Klynch111]

Apart from the time he pissed in tonys pool 😂

[@maximilianodelrio]

Parisi

[@RealTalkOrWalk]

@@Klynch111 yeah he also went there to Tony’s house to kill him & or Gigi but elected to piss in his pool instead of capital murder in front of the feds. Besides that he was one of the realest. Hell I think every member of the Soprano crew went against Tony & showed some form of disloyalty at some point, even Silvio went against when Tony after he promoted Chistopher to acting capo of Paulie’s crew & was grooming him as his second, Sil took it personally & told Patsy to steal those tiles when Tony specifically told them not too. Well I guess that’s another example of Patsy being disloyal too lol but still he’s a real one. So was Albert & Larry Barese, it sucks we didn’t get to see more of them, especially Albert, he was one of my favorite characters. Richie Aprile “Imagine that getting a facelift and one week later end up in the can” Albert “can you imagine that, getting a facelift and one week later end up in the can” lmao 😂

[@lasteroid]

Paulie #1

[@DominickRuocco]

I usually never complain about WatchMojo's lists but it's a capital crime that Paulie is only #10. There are so many characters that shouldn't be ahead of him. 🤌

[@SamTerrazas]

Damn right. Paulie Walnuts was a treasure in every scene he was in.

[@agedefyingfitness]

I agree. Pauly is my favorite character. He’s the funniest in my opinion and Chris, Sil, Uncle Junior, and Bobby are funny to very funny too. Tony can also crack me up. Such a special show.

[@cloudstrife1983]

Agreed

[@brassyjazzful]

How in the hell is Livia not on this list?...wtf. She was integral to this show in the beginning before Nancy's passing.

[@corinaperez226]

One of my favorite Paulie moments is when he is "explaining" Purgatory to Christopher and the equation that's used to decide how long you will be there before you go to Heaven. Too funny.

[@seanfrance3182]

He can do that time standing on his head!

[@jakemartin4729]

After watching so much crap on netflix, I return to Sopranos from time to time. This show is a treasure, the script, the tension, the raw and disturbing violence, the disgust, the dialogs, the characters, the humour, and the insane cast of superb actors and actresses. I miss this quality

My personal favourites besides Tony: 1. Christopher 2. Ralphie 3. Uncle Jun 4. Johnny Sack 5. Adriana 6. Paulie 7. Sil 8. Phil Leotardo 9. Carmela 10. Bobby Many other characters are really good too. Some of those are undeniably essential to the Sopranos, but part of their character is being so annoying that it’s hard to have them as favourites.
