- After AJ crashes his mom's car and tells Tony and Carmela that there's no God, Tony vents to his shrink Dr. Melfi during therapy.
"The Sopranos" is the property of HBO and its creator David Chase. I don't own any part of the series so I'm not making any money here. - Zábava
"Sounds to me like Anthony Jr stumbled on to existentialism"
"Fucking internet"
😂😂
Tony isn't far off.
Where else is there a place guaranteed to have no absolute truths?😉
@@davidgangemi3314 books
Lol he's imagining it like AJ just literally stumbled across the subject on one of his chit chat rooms.
Melfi: how is your mother?
Tony: she’s dead to me
Melfi: 👁👄👁
"anthony jr may have stumbled onto existentialism"
"fuckin' internet"
lol.
Derek Hansin so funny
Yeah that line is fucking hilarious lol
😂
Suntazoo the prince machabelli!
the kids are up to something....
How is no one talking about that last line?! "Think the kid's onto something..." that line was COLD
exactly my reaction too good 😂
love that line, Tony knows the existential dread all too well, yet he refuses to aknowledge it
My first thought as well. Killer writing
Meadow: What do you think education is? You just suddenly make more money?? This IS education.
[Tony and Carmella stare at each other in utter confusion]
That's why meadow is not a bad character at all
Go to your room
I like how meadow always stuck up for AJ. AJ had horrible, God awful parents, but at least he had a good older sister. Didn't hurt that she was sexy as hell too. Madone, little creep probably sniffed her underwear
You forget how clever and thought provoking and funny the Sopranos was.Some of the best wrighting and acting in the history of Television ,a genius show.
And people say that The Sopranos is nothing complex compared to The Wire...
@@andresaguero5880 Who's saying that lol Aside fanboys of either show most people realize both are the best ever
@@sinane.y I always read people in internet saying that The Sopranos is the most fun, entertaining show while The Wire is the most complex and deep. I can't disagree more. The Sopranos is the most profound dissection of what is being an human being.
@@andresaguero5880 yeah I mean there ARE people who say that, but I've also come across a lot of people who do realize the Sopranos is quite profound
@@andresaguero5880 I don't think it's overdramatic to describe The Soprano's as the bible of TV shows. Just an unbelievably accurate and timeless dissection of human psychology and the way it reflects back onto you in every aspect of society told through gritty realistic modern fables that feature every personality archetype you'll ever come across going through every kind of interpersonal drama you'll ever experience and how the way they deal with it morally shapes them
fucking Internet!
The writing is so fucking unbelievable, like Tony says he teaches AJ to respect and appreciate and love his mother but children watch and he watches Tony and his relationship with his own mother, his grandmother, that’s where true influence comes from, it’s amazing how complex it all really is, it’s fucked up how Tony is seen through AJ’s eyes and how AJ doesn’t understand how to live up to this truth.
"She's dead to me" wow, my husband has said that about his mom, to me, in the exact same way. Heavy stuff.
The show gets so real.
I hope he's gotten some therapy to help him work through that. My mom was batshit crazy and it profoundly impacted my life in a very negative manner. She grew up in a pretty dysfunctional family as well. this is passed on from generation to generation until you pass it back.
I love how the writers have him filter her words through his brain and he always wiggles out of it somehow, and it's done it a 100% believable way that gives you hope that he MIGHt one day get it. (at least earlier on)
Tony is always in denial, and always gets frustrated when confronting that he is responsible for how his wife and children perceive him, I never used to see how much a narcissist he actually was even after multiple viewings of the series
@B T
Careful. We all have our blind sides.
@@hippiecheezburger5457 Tony isn’t a narcissist. He’s a sociopath. Sociopaths are usually hot-headed and have explosive tempers, they’ll react without regard for how it will affect the people around them.
@@coffeecrimegal5968 No that's antisocial-personality-disorder. Solely sociopaths are mostly cool headed. It's the combination...
@@yannick245 sociopaths have antisocial personality disorder.
Their private talks are some of my absolute favorite scenes from the show
Existentialism came into being much earlier than the end of WW2. Many of the most influential existentialists were active even before WW1.
True, but you can't deny it gained a lot of prominence in an age where we saw the church ignore the evil that was brewing in the 1930s and exploded in the early 1940s. And now, it seems like most Europeans are indifferent to the church.
@@mayaram2411 That's fair. I think Sartre might have given it it's name "Existentialism" although I could certainly be wrong. But Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Dostoevsky were all pre-WW2, and pre-WW1 for that matter. I think Heidegger published Being and Time in 1927? maybe, or it might have been 1922. Before WW2. I guess it's actual popularity might have increased substantially after WW2.
@@IndustrialMilitia ooh!, Fucking Sigmund Freud there, madone!!.
Yeah Kirkegaard was early to mid 19th century
i think she might mean it got really popular at the time. mainstreamed
*"You think my mother and father was gonna stand for that shit?"*
...so thats a yes, Tony. You've shoved all your emotions down all your life, and here you are.
this is one of the best episodes of the entire series
Really? D-girl is one of my least favorites. Though I love this scene
Impecable scene and dialogue...Chase is my heroe.
Agreed. I know my comment's late but I needed a little Anthony Soprano via David Chase right now since I'm having my own existential crisis. I really miss this show. At least we got to experience some television that comes close in quality since then, like True Detective (season one), Fargo series & Game of thrones. Two more classic scenes czcams.com/video/Fgc9Gq4xzVs/video.html ----- czcams.com/video/ilgBbGvZYQg/video.html
Heroe.
Hearo
Girl, you're MY Hero(ine)!
... So friggin adorable, Maria!
Heroe.
As a retired psychiatrist, I loved how the writers wrote for mefi. Her character like all of us in school had so much Freud to read and talk about. It's almost like sitting there and wanting to yell at her don't go towards Freud with this man and his mother!!!! I think in one chapter it happened and he exploded to her about what he thought she was referring to between Tony and his mother. That great writing, something for all of us somewhere. I was hoping ,just once, she gave in to his lust for her. Believe me it happens to many of us. I was lucky to be reprimanded once for a note language for one of my patient's, made me more guarded, and careful.

Love how tony says he teaches aj to love and respect Carmela when Toby himself doesn’t really love or respect Carmela.

Might be a slight homage to "Analyze This."
"Sounds to me that Anthony Jr. might have stumbled onto existentialism."
"Fuckin' internet."
"Oedipus was a Greek king who killed his father, and married his mother."

Always enjoyed the scenes between Tony and dr. Melfi.
I learned about existentialism from Encarta '98.
Jack Walsh noice
fuckin' internet
Yes the CD with the polar bear on right?
"Fuckin' internet" LOL
Yep--I rolled on the floor HOWLING when I heard that!! That's EXACTLY what somebody like Tony Soprano would say in that situation.
+nyterpfan I almost cried!
AJ should have talked to Norm Macdonald about a youthful porpoise.
"Has Anthony Jr. heard you say she's dead to me?"
It's hard to imagine that he hasn't considering he's said it several times each episode since the start of season 2.
Melfi just explained basically my entire outlook on life lol. It’s a good conversation and scene though for sure very thought provoking, which is surprising considering Tony’s job and how he acts outside the therapy room.
the eps where tony's storyline takes a backseat are where the sessions are most... existential
Fuckin internet...
Maybe my favorite scene in the series! favorite therapy session for sure
Imagine you're Tony's therapist. He suspends the reality that he could kill her for the insights she articulates in exchange for both a sounding board & empathic advisor. Now you're walking a high wire. Now you're effectively his counselor shielded by a privilege. Takes guts to be alone in a room for...ten rounds.
Vintage scene.
Great scene. I would have to say however, that people can all too easily focus on the many negative and defeatist aspects of existentialism. There is also a deist form of this belief as espoused by Heidegger, not just the atheist life-is-meaningless beliefs of Sartre,to which Dr Melfi makes reference.
The positive side of existentialism is that man is inherently born free, and is responsible for his own actions, but also his own destiny.
surbon514 nobody cares what you have to say actually, it’s the internet.
@@fogtown3027 I cared
I must research this
Sartre is a jerkoff. You know it, and I know it
I care
This is a drop the microphone scene for Dr. Melfi...kaboom!!!
The way she says "no no no" xd
These two are the best double act on the internet.
Carmella and Tony are the best double actually
I always enjoyed these psychiatric moments
that ending was cool
Fuckn internet lool
LOLed when he said that!
Existentialism is some dark and dense material. Makes you think about the meaning of life for which there is no concrete answer.

For fuck's sake, no, it's the simplest shit ever, it's all a crapshoot, nothing matters, move on already.
Fuckin internet
Gayyyyyy
the meaning of life is not relevant to paying your bills
My heart always broke for big T in these moments. I just couldn’t hate the guy.
Sympathy for the devil. Mission accomplished
@@justinwyatt8 tony is not devil. just manage hell ( people on the planet earth)
As she described him to his face.
Fuckin' internet!
“Think my mother would have stood for that?”
“She’s dead to me” guy has zero self awareness
Good points. There is another scene in this episode where existentialist philosophers are discussed. The character disparages Sartre as a fraud, mentions Heidegger and expresses his approval for the Christian existentialist philosopher Soren Kierkegaard.

This show is what inspired me to take a philosophy class in college
I am my own boss. So yes.

Stella Maris why do you keep putting Wikipedia articles you fucking idiot?
That one I actually could relate to
DrM: Sounds to like Anthony Junior may have stumbled onto existentialism. TS: Fucking internet.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existentialism
(continued) In this way, because existentialists don't believe in predestination, you could say that an existentialist can follow his or her own path more easily. I have brought all this up because it's important to see past the gloom and doom of some aspects of Sartres' beliefs to realize that there's a lot of positive things about existentialism too! Have a good day.

@@LeJobastre1215 fuc you
Well that is what the evidence tells me. Replicate the experiments if you like to find the same results.
Fuckin internet
That was genuine insight, who was their psy consultant
David Chase spent years in therapy, and had a borderline mother like Tony did. And David Chase is a brilliant writer, and what all brilliant writers do best is observe, analyze, and synthesize. I bet this scene is all David Chase and none of the other writers or consultants.
@@chadmichael03 thank you for that insight. This was a brilliant show. The dialogues are impeccably written. The way they filter each other in this scene gives me chills.
what is existentialism? she didnt explain it properly
Fucking internet
You watch this knowing how tv is put together and you realize they're not speaking to each other, it's a bunch of solo shots and man it kind of ruins it
F*cking inta-net
Evidence? How can you get evidence, how can you experiment if your hypothesis are flawed? You've failed your own scientific method son! Fix your hypotheses!
Thank you Tracy Jordan

Goddamn it, why'd she have to go and wear pants?
Ok.

That's not good
She dead to me
In the end Dr. Melfi was a #unt and gave Tony up. Kept all the money.
You haven't established what consciousness means, you don't know how intrinsic or the dimensions of man's relationship with his/her death. You haven't the slightest idea of how much of yourself is bound to your fleshy, temporal circumstances. How can you be so hamfisted as to believe it's just as easy as tweaking some genes or putting your neural pattern into a simulation?
You underestimate the difficulty of immortality by overlooking my complexity. This is why you fail.
Existentialism is the logical result of the horrors of WW2 & WWW1
Can't be logical to be absolutely claim that there are not absolutes. Have to go back to formula there.
I thought it was around from way before. Not that I'm an existentialist.
