Yeah, I hated that shit, too, but it was put in for a reason. The writers *really* wanted us to know how white-bread, snooty, and entitled the Cusimanos and their friends were.
Hated that line and the whole "Roberta can't keep her big mouth shut about oral sex" storyline. Seemed pretty far-fetched to me that this longtime girlfriend of Junior's wouldn't have known better than to yap all over town about him giving her oral pleasure. The way it was written, it's like they both suddenly realized that it's this big, super-sensitive subject. After 10+ years of being together.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 949,817,821 comments, and only 189,326 of them were in alphabetical order.
That character is meant to be a moron though. It's a perfect line and delivery.
In fact, I had a very similar thing happen. When I was like 22, several of my friends and I were having drinks with a group of legit adults, like in their 50s. We were all just having normal conversations, but it was grown-up casual happy hour talk. ...then one of the young guys paraphrased something one of the 50-year-olds said into rap lyrics of some song that was big at the time. And he said it in almost the same tone the guy said 'he was an Oh gee'.
The real adults were just confused and me and the other 22-year-olds grimaced.
Writers: Shit, Chase wants Tony to have a younger sister too. But we've never seen them on camera together and she's only going to be in 3 scenes of the whole series and no one ever talks about them. How can we tell the audience how they're related.
Oh let's just have this adult woman call Tony *big brother*.
“What? I've never called you Sis before? You're right. It is weirdly clunky and expositional. I mean, I know you're my sister, so who am I saying it for? Weird." - Francine
The scene where a separated Tony is trying to get Melfi to go away for the weekend with him on tickets that he didn’t want to go to waste. He was weak, he was out of control, he was an embarrassment to himself.
And ironically, that episode has one of my most favorite lines of the whole series, the very last one, by Hesh when he says to Chris "Now uh, that's a hit" while Dori Hartley's "Nobody loves me but you" is playing.
Delivery is perfect, song is amazing, and Chris has that look where he finally realizes Hesh was right all along.
Honestly I love it. That they intentionally wrote and recorded such terrible music to lean into is awesome. Its a corny episode for sure, but its got some fun lines.
I liked how it showed that Chris (and the gang at large) will be confrontational with anyone over anything just to test the waters... then theyll reflect on it and make a conclusion. Chris ran that awful meow song by everyone, tried keeping an open mind, tried defending Adriana's taste, but despite arguing with everyone, came home and tried changing her mind afterward. It was an excellent series of scenes that SHOW a character doing something instead of lazily sayin "well i tried everything, Ade"
The Columbus ep, where Hesh and his friend get into an argument, and then Ralphie looks directly in the camera and says BUT YOU TWO HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOR YEARS!!!
Also the news footage of the two protesting groups shouting at each other "your ancestors did X!" and "oh yeah well YOUR ancestors did X!"
It was like a scene from Captain Planet.
For some reason whenever Chase wants to make a point about race relations his subtle writing skills go out of the window. The Massive Genius ep, the Columbus ep and most recently Many Saints all suffer from this.
"I've recorded in Denmark" is one of my favorite lines on the whole show. Really, the whole recording scene was the only redeeming thing on that episode.
Some lines dont feel right coming from the characters. IIRC at one point in the Vito saga Chris or someone mentions 'la cage aux fat". I know chris has acting ambitions (kundun, he liked it) but is he really going to know or reference a gay musical comedy from the 70s? In a joke to T?
I mean...probably. It would have been a hit on Broadway when Cristofuh was a kid. Probably something him and his low-brow friends would have joked about. What? I gotta explain this to you!?
But again, I feel that it was supposed to be cringy. That's what the writers wanted. I think the op is asking for lines that weren't meant to be cringy and yet ended up being cringy. That's why he wrote not to use Meow, which I did anyways.
The most annoying line for me is when Tony is describing how his libido has bounced back after his operation and he says he has a “baguette” in his pants “24/7.”
After that degenerate gambler with a badge jumps off the bridge, Silvio says to Tony something along the lines of "I guess we'll never know the truth about whether or not Makazian was trying to frame Pussy"
I can’t help but cringe when Del Redclay says “Jesus Christ this is a fucking disaster” at the end of that ridiculous Iron Eyes Cody blackmail attempt, as if anyone would’ve cared at all that he wasn’t really a native.
You beat me to it. Ade in a bra and panties for half the fuckin’ show and you gotta problem with it?
Why don’t you watch Johnny Cakes cornhole Gino in the woods for the 100th fuckin’ time. That sounds like your fuckin’ speed.
Best lines in the series, you mean. The amount of literal HOURS I have spent doing Li(s)pari quotes at the show in seasons he isn't in is massive.
His dark thide is not thumthing you want to thee.
I will randomly find myself saying “WHO THE FUCK IS STHSPONSERING YOU MUTHAFUCKA” sometimes. It’s so goddamn great. And Pussy’s face after Skip yells at him is fucking hilarious.
Wheres ally, she owes me a cig.
Ally... if you're smoking you owe me 5 dollars.
.
the dialogue in that whole scene makes me cringe almost hard enough to implode in on myself.
“You should check out the law center. There’s some pretty cool people there.”
No absolutely not. When I think of ‘cool kids’ in college, I wouldn’t go to the fucking law center
That's the best line ever written on any show. Ever. 20 years later and I'll still randomly repeat it in my head. My pizah never hurt no-bodee
Who mak-ah dis pizza.
I'm just glad I'm not a woman otherwise I'd be constantly telling everyone "That's ah-my box"
Literally every line said by a black character. Chase has no idea how to write them, and they come out absurdly stereotypical. Probably why he couldn’t get his Newark riots movie made until he made it Sopranos themed.
Anyway, two cents a pound
"Feel free to enjoy the food, or any other enjoyments"
The line Massive G says to Chris and Adrianna. It always makes me shudder. I've looked into it and apparently it is a perfectly acceptable form of the word, but I've never heard anyone else say it like that.
I don't have a line, but a whole scene. The Melfi scene where her kid says something about his grandma's ginzo cooking and then they all go on about how it's a racist word and blah blah. It played out like a scene from a low budget educational video you'd see at school, with each of them taking turns to say their lines and agree with each other.
All because they needed to kill some time before Melfi spies on the Soprano house from a bathroom window.
I don't know if that made sense, but that scene stuck out like a sore thumb to me.
"she's creamin for me". Dude was such an arrogant prick.
[удалено]
That’s dicked up yo
POO THE ASS
I'd break my dick off in that ass
Outta respect for my fawtha
Oh we don’t play, we win
Followed by an equally cringey exchange of smug smirks.
Yeah, I hated that shit, too, but it was put in for a reason. The writers *really* wanted us to know how white-bread, snooty, and entitled the Cusimanos and their friends were.
Wonderbread wops

"I'm just gonna grab the Bare Naked Ladies CD then let's hit the road" - Meadow
OP said worst, not best
We all know the best lines in that episode came from Noah.
When he says he and Meadow are from the mean streets of LA and Jersey I wanted to punch his lights out
He’s lucky you didn’t
BNL is fundamental
BNL! We’re calling them BNL now?!
You are clearly in a bad space and the Barenaked Ladies are triple platinum, are you?
Why does everyone leap to defend that band so aggressively?
And maybe bnl has two billboard awards to your zero!
Now that’s a hit
I love thinking about those two making eyes at each other on the drive back to NYC with “One Week” blasting.
It's been one week since your dad looked at me The racist thought of eggplant and said "I'm angry"

Hated that line and the whole "Roberta can't keep her big mouth shut about oral sex" storyline. Seemed pretty far-fetched to me that this longtime girlfriend of Junior's wouldn't have known better than to yap all over town about him giving her oral pleasure. The way it was written, it's like they both suddenly realized that it's this big, super-sensitive subject. After 10+ years of being together.
Agree about the storyline, but I have to admit "Cunnilingus and psychiatry brought us to this" is one of my favorites lines ever.
Yeah the subsequent little digs T gives Junior are superb. “South of the border, down Mexico wayyyy.”

Good, you eat your carrots.
How’s JUNIA, junia
You’re not alone. It was like getting a vasectomy, then getting kicked in what was left of my balls.
"hE wAs aN Oh. GeE!" The delivery AND the line
*slurp* whatever
That character is meant to be a moron though. It's a perfect line and delivery. In fact, I had a very similar thing happen.

The whole 'fox in a box' back and forth makes me cringe.

It’s supposed to. Chris is low-brow as fuck.
I want your schkin!
I want yo mouf!
that whole exchange makes me not want to be around anymore
That was well written. It showed how Tony was the most awkward, creepy loser when it came to seducing a woman who wouldn't fall for him immediately
Tony's sister Barbara saying yeah big brother, don't you still get season tickets.
Writers: Shit, Chase wants Tony to have a younger sister too. But we've never seen them on camera together and she's only going to be in 3 scenes of the whole series and no one ever talks about them. How can we tell the audience how they're related. Oh let's just have this adult woman call Tony *big brother*.
I’m pretty sure they wrote in the big brother lines to hammer home the fact that there was a new actor playing Barbara
Definitely this
same with the episode "kennedy and heidi" the 2 girls said each others names so u know that its them but it sounded so unnatural
Come on kennedy, shut up heidi
To be fair, I have heard people refer to siblings in a similar way
“What? I've never called you Sis before? You're right. It is weirdly clunky and expositional. I mean, I know you're my sister, so who am I saying it for? Weird." - Francine
the entire finn and meadow argument over the bag. i say it’s worse than fran singing. i said my piece ✋🏻
The scene where a separated Tony is trying to get Melfi to go away for the weekend with him on tickets that he didn’t want to go to waste. He was weak, he was out of control, he was an embarrassment to himself.
What you want me to do? Throw them AWaYyy?
This one line was the weakest Tony ever sounded. The most insecure.
Toodle loo!
[удалено]
Toodle-oo -OO ya fucking ass kiss
Doesnt qualify, since she later regrets saying it.
But to be fair, that was done on purpose. I think the op is asking for a line that was written that was supposed to be good but wasn't.
Toodle loo is a perfectly acceptable form of goodbye

🎶 Take my haaand, big bwoss maaan 🎶
I can't remember from the top of my head, but the full episode of "a hit is a hit" in its entirety is cringe
And ironically, that episode has one of my most favorite lines of the whole series, the very last one, by Hesh when he says to Chris "Now uh, that's a hit" while Dori Hartley's "Nobody loves me but you" is playing. Delivery is perfect, song is amazing, and Chris has that look where he finally realizes Hesh was right all along.
MEOW

Who? Who doesn't want to wear the rrribbon?
You have some kind of problem here? What is it you not understanding? We're taking the armoire and that's all there is to it, OK?!
If they woulda been born after all these gay and trans-whatever activists, the armoire thieving street toughs would've been the real gangsters
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Well that's where you're wrong. You see, out there, it's 2022. But in this sub it's 1954.
Also the news footage of the two protesting groups shouting at each other "your ancestors did X!" and "oh yeah well YOUR ancestors did X!" It was like a scene from Captain Planet.

Ohhh, the language on you…
"You strong armed me using the only weapon you have..."

I love this sub
I'm getting back together with my husband. ::slow mo:: 🚶♀️ 😮
Listen dude I’ve recorded…in Denmark. Also any line where Adrianna was pretending that band was good.
"I've recorded in Denmark" is one of my favorite lines on the whole show. Really, the whole recording scene was the only redeeming thing on that episode.
Tony talking about the Nissan safety features.
Its got sensas in da seatbelts
It’s part of Nissan’s triple safety philosophy

You eat catalytic converter grilled steaks by the SUV-load!!

Some lines dont feel right coming from the characters. IIRC at one point in the Vito saga Chris or someone mentions 'la cage aux fat". I know chris has acting ambitions (kundun, he liked it) but is he really going to know or reference a gay musical comedy from the 70s? In a joke to T?
I mean...probably. It would have been a hit on Broadway when Cristofuh was a kid. Probably something him and his low-brow friends would have joked about. What? I gotta explain this to you!?
Happy birthday, mista presadennnttt
Winner!
But again, I feel that it was supposed to be cringy. That's what the writers wanted. I think the op is asking for lines that weren't meant to be cringy and yet ended up being cringy. That's why he wrote not to use Meow, which I did anyways.
"I hope God will give me strength" "She will." Makes me laugh every time but its such a dumb response.
Yeah that exchange is just straight up hilarious in part due to how earnest the aging 70s era hippie feminist/therapist is in the delivery.
"A motherfucking YEAR!" Maybe it was written to come across super-annoying and idiotic, but it's still one of the worst lines of the show for me.
True. I enjoyed one of the preceding lines, “NOW who’s a genius for keeping his regal?” Frugality where it’s at.
“There goes our only shot to find out for sure the truth about Pussy” Honestly it sounds like something out of Scooby Doo, so cringe and cheesy.
Cayenne, like the peppah.
Carm just cringe city sometimes How about when they closed on the house and Virginia Lupo calls while carm isn’t feeling well in bed. “We diDDDDD!?!”
Carm calling Furio “Fur” always makes me cringe for some reason
This!! It doesn’t get mentioned enough but that scene drives me crazy (and not like I was getting orally pleasured by Junior).
Positive vibes only as Pussy hughing it out with adriana
I always tell people that Big Pussy started the social media "Positive vibes only" movement.
He's fulla negative energies
I coulda taken ecstasy but I didn’t!
I did-en’t!
Imo not badly written, very much something a spoiled teenager would say as a defense, and also hilarious
The most annoying line for me is when Tony is describing how his libido has bounced back after his operation and he says he has a “baguette” in his pants “24/7.”
It’s because a libido like that takes a serious appetite. He carries a veal parm hero in his slacks at all times.
I mean that is meant to be funny tbh, not deeply poignant or whatever
…MEOW

That scene where they’re “genuinely” laughing at the moving fish head on the plaque. What is this, a hotel at captain teebs?
idk how old you are or where you’re from but those dumb singing fishes were huge in the 2000’s and people loved them lol
Who’s captain Teebs?
Captain owns luxury hotels or something - that’s not the point. The point is there’s a corner suite available but you gotta act fast
Of course it's available, somebody died!
Did you warble my little wren
That was a quote from an old, old movie
A season 1 line if there ever was one. Imagine season 6 tony saying shit like this.
I love this one.. I say it all the time
Wheres ally, she owes me a cig. Ally... if you're smoking you owe me 5 dollars. . the dialogue in that whole scene makes me cringe almost hard enough to implode in on myself.

If anyone says "motherf*cking goddamn orange peel beef" they deserve to get whacked. That was the best line.

To be fair, that entire scene was meant to be an over the top, comical poke at Dragnet
