Extremely avoidable, even when the dude went to get into Paulie’s face, that still wasn’t even a full on brawl. Paulie is the one that decides to smash him in the face with a bottle escalating it to that point
As entertaining and well loved Paulie is as a character he really is a scumbag. Besides insulting the Russian and breaking his Universal remote he also robs and suffocates an old woman for her savings, keeps half the money that was supposed to go to Sal Vitro’s broken arm, shoots a waiter dead while he’s having a seizure, sniffs his friend’s fiancées panties while he’s rooting through said friends belongings, and talks to Johnny Sac about his family’s private matters. Those are just a few of many petty things Paulie does during the show. True criminal behavior.
Paulie is probably the only one that can cause trouble with an interior decorator. Valery was a nice guy, he even offered them drinks when they came in.
@@shadywiskerz not only that, he had heard how the mother of the kid begged Tony not to hurt him. He got jealous of their mother son relationship because he learned out that his mother was his aunt and his real mother was a hooowa
Yep. The shit with Johnny kinda showed that Paulie was more than capable of being a traitor and it probably signaled to New York that he’d fall in line if his family got wiped out. I mean no one else would lay down for that shit, and if they were the type to retaliate they were dead long before the last episode, ie Silvio and Bobby.
Valery was found up in a tree by Boy Scouts, who took him to the hospital. Valery underwent brain surgery and never remembered anything of this incident.
Honestly, the guy showed a hell of a lot of restraint. Paulie did nothing but insult the guy since he walked through the door and is still cordial. Paulie gets insulted once and immediately kills the guy. Italian mobsters have the most fragile egos, man.
that is a interesting moment, Cuban missile crisis was a fiction to him, even with the Period photos and disclaimer Historical notes in the intro / outro. So what is 911 to under 20's now....
Any way you cut it, Paulie was out of line. The Russian had the money ready for them. He wasn't holding out on them. Plus, he was connected to Slava who had a lot of business with Tony. Paulie got lucky he didn't get into trouble.
@@davidodoms2812 season 3 kinda peaked with Pine Barrens which overshadows the penultimate and finale eps. Season 5 has 2 of the best episodes of the series back to back with Long Term Parking then All Due Respect. Same with season 2, the last 2 episodes were amazing Knights In White Satin Armor and then Funhouse. Funhouse was amazing because we see Pussy is doomed once Tony accepts it and the way he comes to terms with it thru hallucinating fever dreams from food poisoning is just insane!
“Universal remote. You probably wiped your ass bare handed before you came to this country didn’t you?” The most despicable and hilarious line in TV history.
"Prob-lee wiped your ass barehanded 'til you came to this country". Feels like Paulie was sometimes less than sympathetic toward folks from other cultures.
Seriously, the guy didn't even do anything wrong. He basically had to die because he wasn't a doormat that just let Paulie push him around. I know Paulie is a fan favorite character but I grew up in an italian neighborhood in Brooklyn and then Boston, I knew guys like PAulie and I hated every one of them.
Paulie is a prick like when chrissy won at pool paulie flipped him off instead of giving him the money if paulie won he would have went ape shit on chrissy for not paying him i hate people like that
@@bostontowny4life744I always thought dude got away, seem like he was in the tree after getting shot in the head and then paulies car was stolen, but it could of been towed and dude died somewhere in the woods, wish the writers would of let us known, cause the Russia boss never mentioned him again and Paulie never mentioned if his car stolen or towed
Damn that makes you hate Pauly so much for escalating a conflict over something so simple. All the Russian guy did is tell him to put the remote back after he pays them and Pauly still treats him like trash
Probably not smart to tell somebody to do something in a position like Paulie though. I'd just let him do what he has to and put it back myself. Or better yet, pay so nobody comes to your home lol
Gotta love Walnuts.. Disrespects a guy in his own home, breaks his remote on purpose and when the guy gets upset and curses at him, Paulie gets offended...😅😅😅😅😅
Chrissy seemed to prefer his decor to include Crack spoons and smack syringes with the occasional dog pancake. Suffice to say, Adriana’s rack and his Schnozz was about the only two things tying the place together.
Its actually ironic cus christopher had the shittiest house out of all the made guys. Even Paulie and Juniour had humble but alright looking houses. Chris' house looked like depression made manifest in an apartment.
I always wondered where Paulie ended and Tony Sirico began.... What a beautiful authenticity he added to this MAGNIFICENT piece of TV ART!! RIP Tony Sirico
I watch it like it's a movie. "Pine Barrens," better than most gangster flicks. Buscemi's direction is spot on, the location can only be done in The Sopranos, and Imperioli & Sirico do some of their best comedy and dialogue in their careers. What happened to te Russian? Chase said in only one interview that he survived, his boss/pal sent him back to Russia to recuperate, and likely he was disabled. Hey, Paulie got him in the head.
It is the Italins that still live with their parents. Paulie still lives with his mother. And it is strange that Christofur has his own apartment. When in reality he would move his fiance to live in his mother's house.
I read in a forum somewhere that chase originally had him make an appearance later on sweeping up in the background of the Russian spot but he was mentally disabled from the shooting and had no memory of the incident. Not sure if this is true but that’s what some fan said.
It was revenge for universal remote, and a lot of other things. And there was nothing that we could do about it. Universal remote was a made man, and interior decorator wasn’t. And we had to sit still and take it. It was among the Italians. It was real greaseball shit.
That’s funny! Well played! I remember thinking walking out of the apartment I was going to get whacked. See universal remotes don’t come dressed as disguises. They come as your friends. When your at your most vulnerable.
The only annoying thing about this episode is that I think this was a turning point in how they would use Paulie from then on. I liked him a lot more in the first 2 seasons, he was a lot less comic relief and more badass. For the rest of the show, he was a complaining, lonely, one-liner machine. With a few cool moments mixed in
Early Paulie was a real Lufthansa-era wiseguy. The type of dudes they made Goodfellas about. The level of bonehead they had him sink to was depressing. Tony looked at Paulie with Scorsese glasses on, thinking him so historically important to the crew, and it would somehow be 'wrong' to clip him.
@@listentothenightfilms I think it’s that as much as he fucked up Tony still loved paulie. And I think the admiration that he personally had for paulie as a kid sort of blinded him
I think they completely jumped the shark with the character when he killed his mother's elderly friend over nothing. The show is beloved, and deservedly so, but there were so many shark-jumping and fanservice moments (e.g. the Vipers) that you notice upon rewatch, that it loses its lustre.
@@Avengerie Tony's hilarious impression of the bikers "We're widd da vipers!" and the look on his face when pretending to be the Grizzly Adams motherfucker seeing the gat made it all worth it.
“Things got a little physical, the prick sucker punched me Ton’.” Gotta love how when confronted later on, the other guy always attacked paulie first lmfao, two examples being an interior decorator and a couple of gardeners.
He let them in, offered them drinks, had the money ready, and still Paulie had to disrespect him. This was avoidable lol
Extremely avoidable, even when the dude went to get into Paulie’s face, that still wasn’t even a full on brawl. Paulie is the one that decides to smash him in the face with a bottle escalating it to that point
Lol Paulie was like he lunged at me. He called him a cocksucker after Paulie broke his remote on purpose then Paulie hits him with a glass wtf
Paulie should have just left after he called him a cocksucker
“Guy fuckin lunged at us. What was I supposed to do”
As entertaining and well loved Paulie is as a character he really is a scumbag.

It’s crazy how many times Paulie has fucked up, and still out lived everyone.
And probably put a hit on tony at the end too

@@andygossard4293 You should learn the BIG difference between Czechoslovakia and Chechenya...
Otherwise you're about as intelligent as Paulie!🙄
I'm just realizing Paulie was acting this way because he was annoyed that Tony made him change his plans for the day.
Just like he beat the kid who’s father owned the construction site because him and his mother were in bad terms
@@shadywiskerz not only that, he had heard how the mother of the kid begged Tony not to hurt him. He got jealous of their mother son relationship because he learned out that his mother was his aunt and his real mother was a hooowa
Did Paulie need to carve an eight hour window for the trip to the social security department or something?
If he had just picked up the money without being a jackass, he would’ve had plenty of time to the other thing.
He had a lot on his mind and didn’t need that shit
and this was the beginning of the most hilarious hour of television to this day
This was the best episode ever
@@mothusisemong9143 I agree it's my favorite episode

Hahahaha when paulie lost his shoe
The fact paulie makes it the end of show is nothing short of a miracle
Miracle

I suspect that is a message that Paulie, who disappeared, was a traitor at the end and went over to New York.
Yep. The shit with Johnny kinda showed that Paulie was more than capable of being a traitor and it probably signaled to New York that he’d fall in line if his family got wiped out. I mean no one else would lay down for that shit, and if they were the type to retaliate they were dead long before the last episode, ie Silvio and Bobby.
He's so far behind the race that he's actually winning
Chase had to promise Sirico his character doesnt become a rat, that helped.
The Best part was that the situation was so easily avoidable 🤣
Paulie had an attitude from the start 😂
@@brendanjoyce645 Poor Chris was dragged into this probably wanted to take Adriana out that night but plans changed
Alas, often real-life s*it kicks the fan, because stupid decision at the wrong time.
Yeah if Paulie just kept his mouth shut. Dude was a trouble maker and I’m still bothered to this day he never got whacked when he deserved it.
Paulie being a prick for no reason is so funny. He cant even he civil for 5 minutes to get 5 Grand.
I feel like Valery was the one who clipped Tony at the end as payback for Paulie breaking his universal remote.
Can't argue with that
Valery was found up in a tree by Boy Scouts, who took him to the hospital. Valery underwent brain surgery and never remembered anything of this incident.
and his windpipe
That’s been my theory all along: either Valery or one of his friends. That would make sense.
Nah, it was the Vipers!!!
Honestly, the guy showed a hell of a lot of restraint. Paulie did nothing but insult the guy since he walked through the door and is still cordial. Paulie gets insulted once and immediately kills the guy. Italian mobsters have the most fragile egos, man.
Are you surprised? Guy was having a manicure at the start of the video. Haha.
The Russian was drinking,probably All relaxed and that’s why he was so cool.
How was he insulting Paulie? All he did was tell him to put the remote back
You are a bit emotional, this is actually TV series.. fictional
@@Pulang_Diwa hahaha the satin finish had me rollin
Chris didn’t know what the Cuban missile crisis was but was right up on the universal remote control.
that is a interesting moment, Cuban missile crisis was a fiction to him, even with the Period photos and disclaimer Historical notes in the intro / outro. So what is 911 to under 20's now....
Any way you cut it, Paulie was out of line. The Russian had the money ready for them. He wasn't holding out on them. Plus, he was connected to Slava who had a lot of business with Tony. Paulie got lucky he didn't get into trouble.
Tony even told him that if there was to be a blowback from this, then it would be on him, and no one else.

“Must’ve cracked his windpipe, that’s it for him” 🤣 gets me everytime
Whats that you a fucking doctor now?
We need a cut of Dr Paulie and resident Chrissy diagnosing their victims. The waiter needs to take medicine for a rock to his head.
And then a shovel flys to Christopher’s head.
No shovels were injured in this show.
If you take all these clips in isolation you'd assume the Sopranos was a comedy. Amazing writing
Farewell Paulie. Rest in peace Tony Sirico 🕊 You'll be dearly missed.
I’m glad he’s dead 😂
after this episode they should have made tv series about only paulie and christoper's adventures.
Hate spinoffs, though.

Bulgarin can't go bowling right now. He's floating down the Humbolt, just off the Guernsey shore, where the tuna fish play.

It was Serbian
“Universal remote. You probably wiped your ass bare handed before you came to this country didn’t you?” The most despicable and hilarious line in TV history.

Cuban Missile Crisis was my favorite movie in 1962
They really should have stopped at Roy Roger's to get breakfast after this
Also stopped off at Cabelas and bought some heavy jackets and snow boots.
And they should have fucked Dale Evans but they didn't!
I like it how Silvio hands that piece of paper in to his boss like its a sick note. 😁
It’s a good thing that hand-truck was in the hallway.
Just before the altercation with the menacing Russian, Paulie is having his nails done in a beauty salon. lol

I’ve seen this episode 50 times, and just now realized the refer dolly they used to move him was in the hallway when they knocked on the door.
"Poot it daaawn on dawking station"
The KGB open up line was hilarious
Rest in Peace Tony Sirico
