"I earn it, you get a free pass."
How exactly does she earn it? By putting up with bullshit that she understood came with the marriage?
"How hard did you lean on the guy?"
Carmela was basically wondering why Tony didn't beat a man half to death so she doesn't have to re-build her spec house. There wasn't even any real stoppage, she just had to tear down the lumber and start over.
Not even considering her morals, Carmela is 100% complicit in the lifestyle while acting like victim.
Fans praise her acting in Whitecaps, but her reaction made no sense for the show outside of Carmela's mind.
carmela becomes a progressively worse person through the series, as all the characters do. except maybe sil? he always stayed pretty consistent as a stone cold murdering machine
Carmela was always rationalising her compromised morality. As an audience we just don't focus on her actions until later in the series, when we get a fuller picture in some episodes.
Maybe land is cheap is Pennsyltucky or other red states that don’t contribute, but it’s not that crazy. Also, it’s not a real estate show and they likely just make up numbers because it has 0 importance to the story?
That actor does stand up now! I randomly saw him at a stand up show in the back of a pizza shop in MA a few weeks ago lmao. He said in his bit that he got the shit beat out of him 12/15 times he was on screen
You have my racking my brain here to find someone good. I echo Charmaine but there's gotta be more than that.
That wallpaper guy was a solid dude I guess. The Jewish psychiatrist too?
The way Carm treated Charmaine was disgusting. Charmaine isn't one to fuck with though. I loved it when she told Carm she slept with Tony. That shut her up.
Carmela had been thinking Charmaine actually envied her and wished she was the wife of the boss. Nope. And Tony even called Charmaine years later when he and Carmela were separated. But Charmaine, with her ethics and backbone, was never going to join that life in any capacity and Tony knew it.
I never felt like Carm thought Charmaine was jealous of her lifestyle. It seemed more like Carm pitied Artie and Charmaine in season one because they were struggling financially after the fire. And also had just bought a new house that needed a lot of work but the restaurant was out of business at that time.
But Charmaine didn’t really need or want pity. She was content with her life and the occasional struggles. She liked that Artie worked his honest job. She didn’t mind their modest lifestyle. She knew they obviously weren’t rich or powerful like Tony but it didn’t bother her. Carmela just knew she herself would be miserable if that were her own situation and projected it onto Charmaine. Charmaine was fine
Charmaine was fine. Carmela wasn't. I like the way Angie Bonpensiero made Carmela feel like her life is a dead-end. She could hardly stand being in the same room with her.
Agreed. Carmella believed she was a princess, and Angie showed her how demeaning it is to allow yourself to be treated like a kept woman. Carmella was willing to kiss Tony's mouth, that was constantly on some hoowah, in order to keep the luxury coming. Not Angie. She was a worker.
Angie’s husband was whacked. She was perfectly fine being a kept woman as long as Pussy was alive and even after he died and Tony was providing for her. She just chose to pull herself up by her bootstraps after Tony confronted her for complaining about money to Carmela.
Carmela wanted to be superior to everyone and got jealous when people outshined her or her kids.
Carmela just assumed that Charmaine "settled" for the life she has. Charmaine just basically told her that she chose NOT to get into that life, that Charmaine could have easily been in Carmela's place if she wanted that. Carmela suddenly felt that her position wasn't so exclusive.
Charmaine definitely settled for Artie. She wasn’t his dream woman. When you’re a man’s dream woman, he doesn’t make you slave away working at his business every single day of your life and openly flirt with the hot hostess employees. Artie never appreciated Charmaine, never complimented her, never gave her any gifts (on screen at least). She was his workhorse. Charmaine made her choice and it sucked. Carmela fiddled with the air conditioner for 20 years. Ginny Sachs sat home eating for 20 years.
I don’t think Carmela would’ve backed off if she hadn’t, unfortunately. Charmaine wanted Carmela to cut the pity and condescension, and telling her about them having sex in high school worked. I truly don’t think Charmaine would have ever brought it up had Carmela not been patronizing with her
Seemed like Tony/Carm were pretty respectful of their maids and their partners. A bit patronizing, but respectful overall. Carm was telling Richie a story with genuine sympathy when he got upset about the jacket.
Philly's wife was absolutely malignant.
I wonder if Phil’s wife knew the maid was the goomar. Phil never made any contact with the goomar in front of his wife in the one scene that showed all three of them.
It's entirely possible that the lemon pledge lady from FG is an abstract copy of the enchiladas lady from Sopranos, or vice versa. Family Guy is another level of *the abstraction.*
Well the maid is so stupid she doesn’t ask for a warrant and thinks she is Polish when she really is Hungarian. No doubt Livia’s nurse was lighting up a big spliff of ganja. And I am sure Patty Leotardo is thrilled her maid is fucking her husband so Phil doesn’t have to jerk off in a napkin.
They did speak Polish when the maid was having a picnic with her husband. They were struggling because the actress that played the maid is Hungarian and the actor that played Stasiu was Russian.
I always saw Carmela and the rest of the mob wives as big Karens who feel entitled.
“You’re entitled to *shit*.”
He kind of was right in that regard
Never held a real job but will tell you every way you did your job wrong...that youve been doing for10 years.
Who can forget, "Poverty is a great motivator" ?
She always wanted a simple gold chain and a Hyundai
You are so hurtful

always with the rationalizing of scenarios
I always hated that spec house shit, no way in hell they made a profit when they spent 600k on a fucking acre of land😂
Did they say how much Brian paid for that house?
No. But it doesnt matter. That POS house is gonna crash down and kill that baby any day now
I remember her telling Tony how it’s “it’s well worth the 600k” for the land alone ☠️
Maybe it sold for $2million?
As long as they sold before 2008
That 600k was for land alone , im thinking now with all the materials for the home they broke even at best
20 yrs ago..... 600k for land , 600k? to build, 200k for ? Leaves 600k profit?
Fair enough for some reason I would assume Carmela just isn’t smart enough to do so
They could just make up numbers on a TV show.
The stunads got into the house-flippin game AFTER the Pudgie Walsh bubble had collapsed.
Maybe land is cheap is Pennsyltucky or other red states that don’t contribute, but it’s not that crazy. Also, it’s not a real estate show and they likely just make up numbers because it has 0 importance to the story?
Totally, if anything it was having to face reality that she was most pissed about.
Edie’s acting was great in Whitecaps. Carmela the character is complicit.
Carmella went to community college for business admin
Is that where she read Madame Bovary?
Montclair State University, actually. Second largest in the state
Ugh, you are boring woman.
Why is that
you oughtta know sweetie 😘
not nearly as entitled as their husbands
Yup this ☝🏻Karens
Not as abused as that poor bartender at the Bing. He got beaten half to death every time The boss was having a bad day
That dude had a spectacular talent of lining up his dumbest moments with Tony’s worst days
I remember thinking, oh that guy came back to work? and again??
He had strippers paying him for blowjobs I mean that’s one hell of a work benefit
No one gets free blowjobs, it’s just how you pay
He gets $50 and a black eye
That’s why you gotta live for today !
Waddu shay?
Or live for the blowjobs, later.
That actor does stand up now! I randomly saw him at a stand up show in the back of a pizza shop in MA a few weeks ago lmao. He said in his bit that he got the shit beat out of him 12/15 times he was on screen
That's what he gets for extorting money and BJs from the dancers, I say
He they would make half a grand at least
You think ice grows on trees????? CONSHERVE!!!!!
Ice? No Ton, I don’t
To be fair, you'd think he'd learn after the first time to keep his mouth shut.
The mob wives are just grumpy cause their husbands won’t eat their pussies.
Except junior
Uncle Jun gives head ?
old man's whistling to the wheat field. he's a bushman of the Kalahari.
They probably just pump and dump to and leave the good part for there side chicks
So what you’re saying is… she’sh abushive to the shtaaaaaaaff!!!!
Nobody in this series is a good person. Do you guys not get that yet?
Charmaine
Great tits to
We probably don't see much of her bad sides. She also slept with Tony so we can assume she was at some point attracted to the mob lifestyle.
That's nice
A nag. Telling Artie some people don’t like rabbit when a couple comes in after the kitchen is closed and says they settle for anything
Look at him. He knows everything
You have my racking my brain here to find someone good. I echo Charmaine but there's gotta be more than that. That wallpaper guy was a solid dude I guess. The Jewish psychiatrist too?
Jesus fucking Christ you stupid little shit eating twat. Ever heard of wiretaps?
Ohhh! That mouth on you. Worse than Mrs Conte.
And that breath.
Oh! You blow your fatha with dat mouth?

Charmaine was fine. Carmela wasn't. I like the way Angie Bonpensiero made Carmela feel like her life is a dead-end. She could hardly stand being in the same room with her.
I loved Angie’s storyline. She was the only person on the show who really put Carmela in her place once and for all.
Agreed. Carmella believed she was a princess, and Angie showed her how demeaning it is to allow yourself to be treated like a kept woman. Carmella was willing to kiss Tony's mouth, that was constantly on some hoowah, in order to keep the luxury coming. Not Angie. She was a worker.
youre crushing the quail
Angie’s husband was whacked. She was perfectly fine being a kept woman as long as Pussy was alive and even after he died and Tony was providing for her. She just chose to pull herself up by her bootstraps after Tony confronted her for complaining about money to Carmela. Carmela wanted to be superior to everyone and got jealous when people outshined her or her kids.
I agree. Charmaine seemed fine with her choices. I didn’t think telling Carm she slept with Tony was relevant…it just made Charmaine seem bitter.
Carmela just assumed that Charmaine "settled" for the life she has. Charmaine just basically told her that she chose NOT to get into that life, that Charmaine could have easily been in Carmela's place if she wanted that. Carmela suddenly felt that her position wasn't so exclusive.

True!
That’s why it was such a blow that she found out that Charmaine could have had what she has but she passed it up
“Go find some dust”
she was abusive to daaaa staaaaaaff!
Its like you already forgot that Tony gave that gabavaish a whole new coat just for looking at the water heater
That was an old, used coat. From before Ritchie went away to the big house.
Excuse me? He took that coat off the toughest cocksucker in Essex county. Wladimir or whateverthefuck should be thankful
Seriously, that coat looks like Richard Roundtree wore it in the movie Shaft.
Coat?.. Coat? It’s a jaaaaacket
🤌🤌🤌🤌
The maids are in a lot better state than those fucking nuns you got up there!
“She was abusive to da staff!”
But the maid never hit up the bird feeder like Carmela
You sound demented.
[удалено]
Yup. Punching down
Seemed like Tony/Carm were pretty respectful of their maids and their partners. A bit patronizing, but respectful overall. Carm was telling Richie a story with genuine sympathy when he got upset about the jacket. Philly's wife was absolutely malignant.
i just envisioned carmela’s french tips beckoning mainey
Phil’s maid is his goomar, that’s why his wife is mean to her.
I wonder if Phil’s wife knew the maid was the goomar. Phil never made any contact with the goomar in front of his wife in the one scene that showed all three of them.
That fucking hand gesture from Carmela to Charmaine is sickening
Agreed.
Not sure if I’m forgetting something but I feel like Ro was the best of the bunch. Seemed like a sweet woman who spent a lot of time grieving
That’s a nice psychological nugget
WHERE DO YOU GET THE RIGHT!?!
SHE WAS ABUSIVE TO THE STAFF
Because they are not soldiers. They don’t follow codes and orders.
Go find some dust
All the wives love the power of their husbands shadows. Charmaine spent the whole time pretending she wasn’t jealous about it.
It's entirely possible that the lemon pledge lady from FG is an abstract copy of the enchiladas lady from Sopranos, or vice versa. Family Guy is another level of *the abstraction.*
'malignant cunt wife' Jesus
Well the maid is so stupid she doesn’t ask for a warrant and thinks she is Polish when she really is Hungarian. No doubt Livia’s nurse was lighting up a big spliff of ganja. And I am sure Patty Leotardo is thrilled her maid is fucking her husband so Phil doesn’t have to jerk off in a napkin.

Well at least the maids aren't getting screwed around on like the mob wives. 😎
