  1. I'm pretty sure they had fun filming this scene. I nearly died when Tony gave his rebuttal to the Chinese inventing spaghetti

  2. 1:36 Thats debatable depending on who you ask. For Newfoundlanders, He discovered Newfoundland. For Quebec, it was Cartier. For the rest of Canada, it's Cartier. For the scandinavians, it's Leiv Eirikson.

  3. for someome who is proud of being Italian, he gave his daughter the most un-Italian name ever

  4. I feel like this was one of the few scenes ive seen people eat chinese take out normally. Not holding the entire damn box of kung pao and eating out of it like a savage lol.

  5. I missed the dark comedy writing of the first season, the show had a different vibe at the beginning, it became way too serious and violent at the end

  6. Meadow better learn to shut up or else she will be given the job to parallel park the cars.

  7. Credit for the invention of the telephone is frequently disputed. As w/ other influential inventions such as computing hardware, radio, television, & the incandescent light bulb, several inventors pioneered experimental work on voice transmission via wire & improved each other's ideas. New controversies about the problem still arise occasionally. Alexander Bell, Antonio Meucci, Charles Bourseul, Elisha Gray, & Johann Reis, amongst others, have all been credited w/ the invention of the telephone. The best claim lies w/ Johann Reis, a German.

    The Sicilian Mafia wasn't invented but came about due to problems that arose in Sicily as a result of the Industrial Revolution & its impacts on the systems that existed w/in Sicily.

    It is believed that the 1st European discoverer of Canada was the Norse explorer Leif Erikson.

    The 1st American saint was American Elizabeth Seton.

  8. AJ saying to meadow(“can you just shut the fuck up about it” is about as close to Tony soprano as we will ever see him behave

  9. They don't like the Sopranos in Italy because it focuses too much on family which they find mundane and depressing.

  10. He sure likes to brag about being italian and that racism bullshit, like the Guy is such an italian, he an american asshole just like the rest.

  11. This is probably the most peaceful and happiest family dinner scene on the show

  12. Ironically most of Tony’s victims are Italian. The businesses he extort and loansharking victims.

  13. Meadows comments are priceless. "I just like history, like you dad." She played the part of a smartass teenager so well!

  14. Whenever there’s a crime nearby, I make sure to tell the cops I saw two Italian guys running down the alley

  15. Funny that in real life neither Meadow or AJ are Italian. Meadow Jewish i think. AJ i forget but not Italian
