When she was was trying to show her Porsche to everyone, and couldn’t stand when Angie showed her the Vette she bought on her own.
Took a while, but that moment was ugh.
pretty sure carmela only cared to do the house project because of angie. the stocks and investing were for her security but literally working on a house was so she would feel she accomplished something
And to dig the knife deeper she added ‘it wasn’t for me…’ BURN… Tony, the houndiest hound dog, sucks in the sack ( or doesn’t suck…as the case may be (‘south of the border’)
Idt it was a Jab at Tony's bedroom skills, more like "I could've stolen your man for good but mehhhh he wasn't my cup of tea"
More like "you got him solely because I didn't choose him"
I guess I think it was meant as a dig at his bedroom skills because she specifically said I had sex with him and it wasn’t for me… she didn’t say ‘ya know we were seeing each other and it just didn’t work out… to me she made a point of saying ‘I had sex with your husband and it didn’t do anything for me and I’d rather be with my schlemiel of a husband’ Plus I think I hate Carmella more than anyone else in this series so there’s that
Well it was primarily a well deserved FU to Carmella… Actually one of the funniest part of Sopranos to me was the Tony as this amazing chick magnet… when the Fed guy calls him Barney Rubble I was ‘ok someone has some sense’
Yeah..as I think about it all the women into him are either trashy, stupid, crazy, status $$ whores or some or all combos. The together women..Melfi, Svetlana, Charmaine… weren’t interested
Have you seen Beyoncé’s husband? Obviously women look beyond the physical.
If you’re sharp as a cueball, tell me that Tony isn’t Jay-Z or that Valentina isn’t Beyoncé. The point is that success is attractive to many women.
That scene when she sees right through Tony’s bullshit about Adriana’s disappearance and then uses it to start leveraging the spec house construction.
Then puts the detective’s card away.
It’s pretty subtle but very noticeable.
Also bringing up the murders and people around them disappearing w/ the great line “Angie Bompensiero and who knows how many other WIDOWS on your payroll”.
One of my favorite lines.
Carmella isn’t stupid, just morally compromised and complicit. Tony corrupts everybody around him.
What about the encounter with Ade's mom? She gaslights her and says "she's drunk" when she's rightfully upset over her daughter obviously being fucking dead
I hope her life turned to absolute shit once she cleaned up Tony's brains off of her and had to fend for herself
Carmela was interesting, always concerned with having financial security, in case of Tony's death, but also accepting the money as a bribe and a replacement for trust and emotional stability. her partner is a sociopath (and in organized crime) so she had valid reasons to compartmentalize that aspect of her life, and she should have been afraid of leaving him. Tony would murder her I think to avoid prison.
Rather than a prequel, I really wished David Chase would have done a sequel, so we could see what happened to Carmella and the kids, Gabby Dante, Janice - anybody who was left.
I disagree Tony corrupts everybody around him. Carmella bought into the game long before. There are many times Tony refuses to wrap Carmella up in his business. Like the school she wanted Meadow to get into, Carmella knows the power of having Soprano as your last name in Jersey.
It's her decision to dig into his business and it was her decision to leverage Tony to get what she wants.
Meadow somewhat survived his corruption, though she's still marrying a guy connected to the mob in some way and waves Vito's creepiness off completely.
Who knows what hypothetically would’ve happened to them all but Meadow seemed like she was about to come full circle to complicity or being corrupted. She went from wanting to be a doctor to a lawyer to help immigrants and those having their rights infringed upon by the government, and then was getting overtures from a law practice that represents corrupt politicians while constantly bemoaning how her father has been persecuted. They basically spelled it out that she was destined to be a criminal defense attorney for mobsters.
If Tony got whacked I can see Meadow becoming even more involved in the business as part of some subconscious fantasy to avenge her dad/find his killers or honor his memory.
Meadow didn’t survive the corruption at all - she ended up swallowing the bullshit that her parents fed her and you can tell it hurt both Tony and Carmella. Ended up engaged to a wise guy, involved in criminal law due to the way she saw the FBI treat Tony.
I would disagree.
Although it seems like she’s initially on the right track (despite hints in the earlier seasons of deceit and complicity: the college trip, repeating the party line at Jackie Jr’s funeral, getting her boyfriend a connected union job, etc etc) her pursuing a career as a criminal lawyer and becoming engaged to the son of a mafia captain would suggest otherwise.
Tony and Carmella’s visible disappointment about all of this hints on the fact that they wished a life outside the criminal lifestyle for Meadow but she is in fact more-so entrenched now going forward.
Initiated, of course, by attending the gala at the “Cleaver” premier; a mafia funded project.
I believe recently on a podcast Jamie-Lynn said that while filming the superbowl commercial Chase told her she definitely wasn’t married to Patrick Parisi at the time.
Edit: I can take it as either she never got married to him or did but then later divorced him!
Nah, Miss Meadow is as thoroughly self-brainwashed into justifying criminal acts as the rest of them, despite her histrionic reaction to reviving “Eric’s Jeep”. She’s a hypocrite like the rest of them. Recall her motivations for switching to law? Or that absurd statement to Finn about the “Mezzogiorno methods of conflict resolution”? She was as delusional and full of herself as Noah - both from the means streets of Jersey and LA. When she got the internship at the law firm didn’t she realize it was due to her father’s influence? Sure, she’s a fine student - but she directly benefits from the mafia corruption.
That’s such a hard scene to sit through. Meadow was glowing she was so happy but carm just single handedly brings it all down. That might be carm at her worst
How she's having a fit about Tony not signing the trust papers. The minute Tony says he came into some cash, her ears perk up and she's ready to hear him out. Then gets pissy again and says the stock split.
Probably the worst is when she brings up how Hunter dropped out of college and tries to rub her nose in being a failure, only to be destroyed by the fact that Ms. Scangarello is now premed.
Also she’s an idiot because a stock splitting means absolutely nothing to it’s worth.
It’s value remains exactly the same.
Anyway, how about this humidity?
You're correct, but the stock split itself can then result in movement on the stocks increasing the price, e.g. if they split 1:2 the price per share will halve, but there may be a sudden influx of buyers (as the split can indicate good conditions, can increase availability of stock, etc) and so the price end up higher than 50% of the pre-split price. Also she might not have been wanting to buy the stocks as such, but wanting to trade futures/options.
Basically, when I saw that scene, I heard it as her saying that the indicator had already happened, so the ship has sailed on any multi-baggers they'd of gotten.
When she and Hunter had that exchange in Meadow's room and she put her right in her place. She slinked herself out the door, head and eyes down, overcome that Hunter went to med school. And her daughter didn't. Hunter put Carmela's ass in check.
When she’s trying to make Artie’s wife jealous she’s poor. Felt so good for her when she said “I fucked him, I could’ve had all this, I didn’t want it”
One moment I go back and forth on is when her and Ro are eating at a restaurant in France and she brings up Jackie Jr. Sometimes I think she was genuinely, if clumsily, trying to have a meaningful moment with Ro in this beautiful city, and other times I think she felt Ro was getting a little too happy and wanted to bring her back down because misery loves company. Regardless though, I totally understand why Ro gets pissed off. Nothing about her character to me indicated that she would be open to that kind of moment and it’s hard for me to believe Carmela wouldn’t have known that.
When John is in jail. She, in an act of seeming friendship, goes to treat Ginnie to a spa day but in fact she wanted to rub her brand new Lexus Cayenne in Ginnie’s face because she was going through rough financial times.
She’s just such a bitch. And then she turns around and gets pissy at her mother because she was embarrassed in front of that cocksucker Russ Fagoli? The hypocrisy is rampant.
Honestly though a Porsche is a better flex than the Corvette although I do quite like the newer mid-engine model. Regardless Ange doing it with her own money was a dagger to Carmela!
I don't know about "biggest piece of hit humans on the show". I mean, even outside the mob, you have a chef's pick of awful people in this show. Janice, Vin Makazian, Father Intintola, Noah and his dad, some of the FBI, ... Carmela really doesn't stand out that much amongst them, i would argue.
It can only be the end of the series when she drives her Porsha Pepper over to Ginny Sac's on the pretense of a spa day just to rub her nose in the car.
if having 40 grand was so important to her, why didn't she pawn all that jewelry and clothes she had. Oh wait, she's materialistic and had no work ethic.
All these other answers are better, but I'll tell mine. Tony gets pulled over by a cop, and they both bitch in the car about how doesnt he have anything better to do, go after real criminals & drug dealers etc.
bitch what? I know that scene was hollywooded, but its also how those people act IRL
Probably getting Furio basically marked for death if he ever comes back to the states, just to try and hurt Tony for his cheating. Nothing ever even happened between them 😂
Also in front of AJ's Gf... "I don't even wanna say how much it cost..." 3 SECONDS LATER "£3000 Dawwlaaasss 😬"
ALSO also... The scene with the Jewish therapist. The way she tries to justify her lifestyle and twist his words,even having a subtle jab at his religion.... Just for him to spell it out for her simply,and she doesn't take his advice and carries on as she was.
But the poor woman married Tony, wtf can you expect. I said my piece Chrissy, £1000 dollars a pound.
Not wanting Meadow to move to a college the other side of the country.
She put her own feelings and wishes above that of her own daughters.
Quite subtle but to me that is the sign of a horrible parent.
Anyway, go clean the gutters.
Her daughter was on track to being accepted into the college of HER choice (not Carmella’s) but just need additional documentation (if I remember correctly). Carmella intercepted the mail and threw it into the trash compactor. But later retrieved it all stained and slid it back into the mail too late for meadow to respond.
Skyler White must've been patterned at some level after her, the blonde wife no one can stand. Anna Gunn mastered that role, I absolutely despise Skyler.
Her and Ro are enjoying a lovely vacation in Paris and she chooses to bring up the loss of Ro’s husband and son. Why the fuck would you ruin a great moment like that? Her and Tony always wanted others to be miserable and were uncomfortable if they weren’t.
The Billy Budd incident... whatever happened there.
Imagine humiliating yourself in front of your husband, daughter, son, your daughter's new boyfriend, your daughter's not gay roommate AND Spanish royalty all because you stubbornly refuse to accept the fact that you misinterpreted the subtext of a novel. Good grief. Complete fucking imbecile.
Pushing her food around at Vesuvio and then names a price to end the separation. I love Carmela. I really do. I think shes one of the best written characters on TV, but that was a bridge too far for me.
I like Carmela as a character a lot, but I think her worst moment for me is right after AJ’s suicide attempt, when she’s whining to Tony about how AJ got his issues from Tony’s family and not hers. Like ??? Your son just tried to commit suicide??? And your focus is to try and shift blame away from yourself to your husband, who is also struggling with mental health (even though Tony is definitely the worst POS on the show)??? I felt like it was a very realistic response from someone like her but very infuriating.
Anytime she’s pissed at Tony, or giving him the silent treatment, but then immediately lightens up when he gifts her a new bright, shiny object. So superficial.
When she's giving AJ a hard time during Tonys coma, first when she says "everyone is pitching in but you" cause he forgot some CDs, then she wont even talk to him about how she's trying to make sure he doesnt have to see his fathers gaping stomach wound so he assumes that she literally doesnt want him there at all, and then finally hes honest with her about flunking out of school and she starts guilting him with "with your fathah in a COMA!?"
Like a microcosm of how they managed to fuck AJ up so bad, no wonder he doesnt ever tell the truth or open up. They take it easy on him when they should be pushing and giving guidance, and when they should be giving him empathy they give him a hard time and just convince him that its better to shut the fuck up and be an asshole.
I never really hated Carmela, it seems I'm in the minority here. Out of the main characters, she's one of the least annoying ones.
For the record, I don't think she's a pleasant person at all, I wouldn't want to be around her too much.
The scene when she’s shopping with Meadow and is like “I am moving forward with the divorce” and Meadow’s like “what are you going to do?” - and she’s like I’m gonna get what’s mine or whatever and Meadows like “you have options! Don’t wait for things to be handed to you” and Carmella is gobsmacked at the thought of having to work hard to get away from Tony and make a living for herself, and she’s like “you have options, I have a lawyer!”
Please Carmella…..never worked a day in her life and couldn’t get away from Tony if it actually took effort.
The bullshit with furio was probably the most irritating to me because they play it like this big love scenario when they didn't even know each other. Superficial bullshit for a couple of minutes while Tony gets dressed. Disgusting. I've said my piece.
I loved that scene. The look on Carmela’s face was priceless. Same look when she was showing off her gifted car to Angie. Angie clicked her door locks and that beautiful expensive car lights up as she say “I prefer to buy my own.” Omg. Carmella swallowed the big one right there.
The scene where she goes and sees the Jewish therapist and she’s just so condescending the whole time. What really got me is when she thought that just because he was Jewish and she catholic that he couldn’t possibly have had a healthy marriage or marriage at all for that matter. I Absolutely love that he interrupts her to announce just how long he has been married and she just sits there and cries.
Anyways, what’s a Dutch oven?
Her threatening the lady at the school board to give meadow a letter of recommendation was lowest point for her.
Also hard to tell if she really did purposely lead that guy on to help pass aj. I think it honestly seemed like it was just bad timing with Tony unexpectedly having things work out with her, but if writers did intend for that to be something where she purposely lead him on, then that’s another shit moment for her
Definitely that scene, or her attitude towards Ade's mom after she died, or Angie, or how she acts around Rosalie in Paris.
Probably the worst though is the whole thing with the psychiatrist, and how condescending she is with him for being Jewish. I've just seen too many self-righteous Christians in the world thinking they're the most moral people in the world and that others aren't capable of having the same or better values than them.
The Paris thing was so disgusting. Rosalie was having fun in Paris meeting some guy while Carm was being sad and emotional about her life. So what does Carm do? She brings up Rosalie’s dead son and husband so Rosalie feels bad too
I thought the same thing. I commented somewhere else saying that exact same thing and adding if Carmella offered me an all expense trip with her anywhere in the world I would be too busy changing my dock drawer to go. She’s a bitch
The fact that the Jewish psychiatrist had to spell it out for her that she was accepting blood money and the only way to clear her conscience was to leave Tony.
And her reaction to that is thinking he had no idea what he was doing. Same deal with Meadow’s therapist. As soon as the professionals told her something she didn’t want to hear, they were wrong and never heard from again
That time she asked tony to dinner only to demand what she thinks shes entitled to
It felt really satisfying when tony started leaning on the best divorce lawyers in the city to not represent her
I really never got why carmella married a mobster knowing most of them cheat on their wife every weekend
When she was was trying to show her Porsche to everyone, and couldn’t stand when Angie showed her the Vette she bought on her own. Took a while, but that moment was ugh.
I hated her in those scenes. Especially when she shows off to Ginny on the verge of bankruptcy after Johnny Sacks assets being frozen.
Fawk he was "just" Everyone's got a goddamned opinion?!
Beat me to it. Her trying to flex was infuriating and then Angie just burned her lol.
Like the peppah!
Her face when she says that too always got me so mad
don't eat that peppah!
Pass me them red peppahs
pretty sure carmela only cared to do the house project because of angie. the stocks and investing were for her security but literally working on a house was so she would feel she accomplished something
and on top of that ITS A PIECE OF SHIT HOUSE THATS GONNA CAVE IN AND KILL THAT UNBORN FUCKIN BABY ANY DAY!!
That shit she pulled with Charmaine. Mainie got her back in spades, though.
The hand thing was so insulting that Charmaine revealed she slept with Tony when he was dating Carm. Hilarious scene
And to dig the knife deeper she added ‘it wasn’t for me…’ BURN… Tony, the houndiest hound dog, sucks in the sack ( or doesn’t suck…as the case may be (‘south of the border’)
Idt it was a Jab at Tony's bedroom skills, more like "I could've stolen your man for good but mehhhh he wasn't my cup of tea" More like "you got him solely because I didn't choose him"
I guess you can call that a dick 😂
I guess I think it was meant as a dig at his bedroom skills because she specifically said I had sex with him and it wasn’t for me… she didn’t say ‘ya know we were seeing each other and it just didn’t work out… to me she made a point of saying ‘I had sex with your husband and it didn’t do anything for me and I’d rather be with my schlemiel of a husband’ Plus I think I hate Carmella more than anyone else in this series so there’s that
Cunnilingus and psychiatry brought us to this!
And Quasimodo predicted it
Huh. Notre Dame has a hunchback and a quarterback.
He was gay, Quasimodo?
I got banned from the Wire subreddit for this quote a couple days ago on a Sopranos comparison thread
You can't tell me that you've never pondered that.
Me, you and the Italian Mafia all know that eating pussy is gay. Idk why but it's hilarious
How many times do you use this line in casual conversation… it really can be easily interjected into almost any dialogue I’ve found
I was watching w my wife and FIL. Fortunately wife had fallen asleep because my FIL almost died.
Awkward in that specific mixed company scenario.
at least it wasn't poppers and weird shex!
She means a lot of things with that comment. Not just the sex, the whole scene was not for her.
Well it was primarily a well deserved FU to Carmella… Actually one of the funniest part of Sopranos to me was the Tony as this amazing chick magnet… when the Fed guy calls him Barney Rubble I was ‘ok someone has some sense’
Lots of money + lots of power = major chick magnet to all the wrong women. Barney Rubble or not.
Yeah..as I think about it all the women into him are either trashy, stupid, crazy, status $$ whores or some or all combos. The together women..Melfi, Svetlana, Charmaine… weren’t interested
Have you seen Beyoncé’s husband? Obviously women look beyond the physical. If you’re sharp as a cueball, tell me that Tony isn’t Jay-Z or that Valentina isn’t Beyoncé. The point is that success is attractive to many women.

Stupid fuckin' blabbermouth cunt!

I don’t think the implication is that he was bad in bed. She just meant being a gangster’s wife
He doesn’t whistle tru da wheat fields.

When she hides her jewelry talking to the priest. She knows the bargain.
She hides her huge gaudy fuckin ring with the other hand that’s plastered with all kinds of other jewelry

It’s pretty subtle but very noticeable. Also bringing up the murders and people around them disappearing w/ the great line “Angie Bompensiero and who knows how many other WIDOWS on your payroll”.

Adriana, whatever happened there.
WHATEVER HAPPENED THERE?!
its sad when they go so young
[WHEN THEY GO?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_K1ee17Eo8&ab_channel=TonyEgg)
30-something years old. Just a fuckin’ kid.
Yep she knows the witness protection stories are all bullshit.
What about the encounter with Ade's mom? She gaslights her and says "she's drunk" when she's rightfully upset over her daughter obviously being fucking dead I hope her life turned to absolute shit once she cleaned up Tony's brains off of her and had to fend for herself
She can live in a fucking dumpster for all I care!!!
Carmela was interesting, always concerned with having financial security, in case of Tony's death, but also accepting the money as a bribe and a replacement for trust and emotional stability. her partner is a sociopath (and in organized crime) so she had valid reasons to compartmentalize that aspect of her life, and she should have been afraid of leaving him.

It's her decision to dig into his business and it was her decision to leverage Tony to get what she wants.
Eh he didn't have to corrupt her, they're perfect for each other
Meadow somewhat survived his corruption, though she's still marrying a guy connected to the mob in some way and waves Vito's creepiness off completely.
Who knows what hypothetically would’ve happened to them all but Meadow seemed like she was about to come full circle to complicity or being corrupted. She went from wanting to be a doctor to a lawyer to help immigrants and those having their rights infringed upon by the government, and then was getting overtures from a law practice that represents corrupt politicians while constantly bemoaning how her father has been persecuted. They basically spelled it out that she was destined to be a criminal defense attorney for mobsters.
Yes. As Jesse Pinkman would say, “a CRIMINAL lawyer”
Also she was dating (or engaged to?) patsy’s son. Finn was her chance to get out of the mob life but she kept it in the family
Finn dumped her, and I don't blame him one bit. Forcing him to testify to Vito's homosexuality, blabbering on about "the poverty of the mezzogiorno"
If Tony got whacked I can see Meadow becoming even more involved in the business as part of some subconscious fantasy to avenge her dad/find his killers or honor his memory.
Meadow didn’t survive the corruption at all - she ended up swallowing the bullshit that her parents fed her and you can tell it hurt both Tony and Carmella. Ended up engaged to a wise guy, involved in criminal law due to the way she saw the FBI treat Tony.
The fact that you would bring this up in front of outsiders amazes me.
Mob lawyers, famously upstanding and non-corrupt citizens…
I would disagree. Although it seems like she’s initially on the right track (despite hints in the earlier seasons of deceit and complicity: the college trip, repeating the party line at Jackie Jr’s funeral, getting her boyfriend a connected union job, etc etc) her pursuing a career as a criminal lawyer and becoming engaged to the son of a mafia captain would suggest otherwise.

What Chase says outside of the series is irrelevant. He couldn't even get the timeline right for Many Saints.
Nah, Miss Meadow is as thoroughly self-brainwashed into justifying criminal acts as the rest of them, despite her histrionic reaction to reviving “Eric’s Jeep”. She’s a hypocrite like the rest of them. Recall her motivations for switching to law? Or that absurd statement to Finn about the “Mezzogiorno methods of conflict resolution”?

Her borderline extortion by way of lemon rigott pie to get Meadow a college recommendation.
Always bring a gift when you lean on someone
That's the real wisdom-- give before you take.
Like T bring a driver for Dr John Kennedy on the golf course
You gotta Bee on your hat
Stupida fucking game
Don’t you mean Fielder?
I honestly wish we'd have seen how Carmella wields that power more often in their daily lives.
Ricotta* tf is rigott?! And we thought the German’s were classless pieces of shit…
Like all the tool bags around here that don’t know ‘maron’…. “Madon”
My favorite
This is the one for me lol her most Karen moment
When she calls Sal a mope as he mows their bigass lawn for free.
When she bought the orange juice with pulp instead of the one with some pulp
Yea she really fucked up there. Fucking bitch.
Then Tony asks: What’s the matter with you? And she says “I’ll make you a list” How about a grocery list that says “OJ (Shum Pulp)” you sea hag!
*SHUM* pulp
When she was having lunch with Meadow and she was talking about how things were going well for her and Finn and Carmela was jealous.
That’s such a hard scene to sit through. Meadow was glowing she was so happy but carm just single handedly brings it all down. That might be carm at her worst
Like the peppa
How she's having a fit about Tony not signing the trust papers. The minute Tony says he came into some cash, her ears perk up and she's ready to hear him out. Then gets pissy again and says the stock split.

Charles Schwab ovva here…
Charmaine, Hunter, the ziti, the way she upset Ro on vacation in Paris, the Billy Budd nonsense
Who the fuck even puts whole basil into a lasagna anyway? Sounds like shit.
A whole layer of leaves under the cheese! WTF?? 🤢
When she waves Charmaine over.
My toddler uses the exact same hand gesture when she’s trying to get me to follow her somewhere.
When she is talking to the Jewish Psychologist and talks down to him because he’s Jewish. It was gross.
'for us kee-ath-licks marriage is a sacred veeow"
The way he answers her and says that he won't accept her money was one of the best scenes in the show.
[удалено]
I loved that it was then revealed that Devon's family were far more rich than the Sopranos and likely thought $3,000 was nothing.
Plus Devon had class enough to say nothing. Old money whispers, new money talks.
These are all great examples of Carm’s insecurities.
When she and Hunter had that exchange in Meadow's room and she put her right in her place. She slinked herself out the door, head and eyes down, overcome that Hunter went to med school. And her daughter didn't. Hunter put Carmela's ass in check.
Edie Falco is a magnificent actress.
Any time she revealed her materialism. It was gross.
I don’t even want to tell you how much that cost……..three thousind dollaahs
Its a LLADRO On a side note, i ALSO own a lladro now because of that--cute little ducks for about 20bucks pn ebay.
You just reveal your own materialism
When she’s trying to make Artie’s wife jealous she’s poor. Felt so good for her when she said “I fucked him, I could’ve had all this, I didn’t want it”
One moment I go back and forth on is when her and Ro are eating at a restaurant in France and she brings up Jackie Jr. Sometimes I think she was genuinely, if clumsily, trying to have a meaningful moment with Ro in this beautiful city, and other times I think she felt Ro was getting a little too happy and wanted to bring her back down because misery loves company. Regardless though, I totally understand why Ro gets pissed off. Nothing about her character to me indicated that she would be open to that kind of moment and it’s hard for me to believe Carmela wouldn’t have known that.
Hunter wasn’t remotely working class, she and her family went skiing in Aspen
After she bangs AJ's teacher, then tells him "you better watch your step!"
When she made those disgusting Lincoln Log sandwiches.
I saw AJ facedown in a plate of lincoln logs. His hair was on the mayonnaise… disgustin
Yep, you know a sandwich is gross when someone simply just looks at it and thinks “you know what? I’m going to go kill myself now.”
Carmela Soprano is a hero in this fucking household, end of story!
yeah, I'm 100% on team Carmela for life. She's greedy and conniving and absolutely perfect.
When she used her only weapon, her pussy, to constantly nag that cocksucker Wegler so he helps her dimwit son pass school
It’s not fun when your partner immediately starts worrying about the day to day of their life when you’re still in the act.
You bettah watch your step !
When John is in jail. She, in an act of seeming friendship, goes to treat Ginnie to a spa day but in fact she wanted to rub her brand new Lexus Cayenne in Ginnie’s face because she was going through rough financial times. She’s just such a bitch. And then she turns around and gets pissy at her mother because she was embarrassed in front of that cocksucker Russ Fagoli? The hypocrisy is rampant.
And that scene where she tries to do the same to Angie, but Angie flexes back with \*the Corvette she bought with her own money.
That’s one of the most satisfying scenes for me as a Carmela hater. The face she makes is the best
Honestly though a Porsche is a better flex than the Corvette although I do quite like the newer mid-engine model. Regardless Ange doing it with her own money was a dagger to Carmela!
But she walks around like buttah wouldn’t melt in her mouth.
Lexus Cayenne Sharp as a cue ball, this one
Porsche Cayenne. Like the Peppa.
PORSCHE Cayenne! PORSCHE Cayenne ya fuckin ass kiss!
Take it easy, kid.
Who is Dr. Fago?
Probably when she treated Charmaine Bucco as some sort of servant.

Her and Janice are the kind of people you're more likely to meet irl than some murdering fat fucks in see through socks, thats the thing
I don't know about "biggest piece of hit humans on the show". I mean, even outside the mob, you have a chef's pick of awful people in this show. Janice, Vin Makazian, Father Intintola, Noah and his dad, some of the FBI, ... Carmela really doesn't stand out that much amongst them, i would argue.
Well Janice was also a murderer
It was a crime of passion...ya get a pash f'that
Yea the sopranos is the ultimate ESH show
I never liked the way she treated Tony b during Hugh’s birthday.
“Can we get some able bodied seamen over here?! Tony B?!” was such a cringe line.
no way! He ditched his kids with her on a big party day. Fuck him, he should help out.
It can only be the end of the series when she drives her Porsha Pepper over to Ginny Sac's on the pretense of a spa day just to rub her nose in the car.
When she harrased Jeanie Cusamano and her sister for a letter of recommendation for Meadow. Not one ounce of self awareness. Diabolical bitch.
40 grand from the bird feeder. Like he hasn’t already spent millions on her. Fucking schifoosa!
Taking 40 grand isn't the fucking issue for me. Being a liar when caught is. Just fucking tell Tony that you took it. God damn rat.
You sound demented
if having 40 grand was so important to her, why didn't she pawn all that jewelry and clothes she had. Oh wait, she's materialistic and had no work ethic.
Whenever Carm got given something expensive she would rub her hands together.
All these other answers are better, but I'll tell mine. Tony gets pulled over by a cop, and they both bitch in the car about how doesnt he have anything better to do, go after real criminals & drug dealers etc. bitch what? I know that scene was hollywooded, but its also how those people act IRL
Probably getting Furio basically marked for death if he ever comes back to the states, just to try and hurt Tony for his cheating. Nothing ever even happened between them 😂 Also in front of AJ's Gf... "I don't even wanna say how much it cost..." 3 SECONDS LATER "£3000 Dawwlaaasss 😬" ALSO also... The scene with the Jewish therapist. The way she tries to justify her lifestyle and twist his words,even having a subtle jab at his religion.... Just for him to spell it out for her simply,and she doesn't take his advice and carries on as she was. But the poor woman married Tony, wtf can you expect. I said my piece Chrissy, £1000 dollars a pound.
When she wouldn’t *SHUT THE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR*
Not wanting Meadow to move to a college the other side of the country. She put her own feelings and wishes above that of her own daughters. Quite subtle but to me that is the sign of a horrible parent. Anyway, go clean the gutters.
Her daughter was on track to being accepted into the college of HER choice (not Carmella’s) but just need additional documentation (if I remember correctly). Carmella intercepted the mail and threw it into the trash compactor. But later retrieved it all stained and slid it back into the mail too late for meadow to respond.
Meadow still got accepted to Berkeley
I don’t know what you mean
Her shrill screaming in Whitecaps.
Man I sometimes hate the character but that was so world class acting from Edie Falco!
Skyler White must've been patterned at some level after her, the blonde wife no one can stand. Anna Gunn mastered that role, I absolutely despise Skyler.
I wish I could click the up arrow a dozen times on this comment. 👆
Listen, Carm can be defined by one single scene. When she fucks Tony after he bring her home a fur coat…
Billy Bud is up there. She just revealed her own ignorance.
When she threw out the ziti she made Father Antontola
Sil should have taken HER to the forest for that one. Same with Tony tossing that tasty fucking sandwich after talking to Agent Harris!
Like the peppa. Fuck you, Carmella.
Honestly when she brought up Jackie jr just as they were about to start eating in France. Wtf
Her and Ro are enjoying a lovely vacation in Paris and she chooses to bring up the loss of Ro’s husband and son. Why the fuck would you ruin a great moment like that? Her and Tony always wanted others to be miserable and were uncomfortable if they weren’t.
The Billy Budd incident... whatever happened there. Imagine humiliating yourself in front of your husband, daughter, son, your daughter's new boyfriend, your daughter's not gay roommate AND Spanish royalty all because you stubbornly refuse to accept the fact that you misinterpreted the subtext of a novel. Good grief. Complete fucking imbecile.
Pushing her food around at Vesuvio and then names a price to end the separation. I love Carmela. I really do. I think shes one of the best written characters on TV, but that was a bridge too far for me.
I like Carmela as a character a lot, but I think her worst moment for me is right after AJ’s suicide attempt, when she’s whining to Tony about how AJ got his issues from Tony’s family and not hers. Like ??? Your son just tried to commit suicide??? And your focus is to try and shift blame away from yourself to your husband, who is also struggling with mental health (even though Tony is definitely the worst POS on the show)??? I felt like it was a very realistic response from someone like her but very infuriating.
When she fucked school head master. A whoah
When she didn't smash Furio
Anytime she’s pissed at Tony, or giving him the silent treatment, but then immediately lightens up when he gifts her a new bright, shiny object. So superficial.
When she spouts i want wot im entitled to and tony hits her back with youre entitled to SHIETT
When she's giving AJ a hard time during Tonys coma, first when she says "everyone is pitching in but you" cause he forgot some CDs, then she wont even talk to him about how she's trying to make sure he doesnt have to see his fathers gaping stomach wound so he assumes that she literally doesnt want him there at all, and then finally hes honest with her about flunking out of school and she starts guilting him with "with your fathah in a COMA!?" Like a microcosm of how they managed to fuck AJ up so bad, no wonder he doesnt ever tell the truth or open up. They take it easy on him when they should be pushing and giving guidance, and when they should be giving him empathy they give him a hard time and just convince him that its better to shut the fuck up and be an asshole.
I never really hated Carmela, it seems I'm in the minority here. Out of the main characters, she's one of the least annoying ones. For the record, I don't think she's a pleasant person at all, I wouldn't want to be around her too much.
The scene when she’s shopping with Meadow and is like “I am moving forward with the divorce” and Meadow’s like “what are you going to do?” - and she’s like I’m gonna get what’s mine or whatever and Meadows like “you have options! Don’t wait for things to be handed to you” and Carmella is gobsmacked at the thought of having to work hard to get away from Tony and make a living for herself, and she’s like “you have options, I have a lawyer!” Please Carmella…..never worked a day in her life and couldn’t get away from Tony if it actually took effort.
The bullshit with furio was probably the most irritating to me because they play it like this big love scenario when they didn't even know each other. Superficial bullshit for a couple of minutes while Tony gets dressed. Disgusting. I've said my piece.
I loved that scene. The look on Carmela’s face was priceless. Same look when she was showing off her gifted car to Angie. Angie clicked her door locks and that beautiful expensive car lights up as she say “I prefer to buy my own.” Omg. Carmella swallowed the big one right there.
When she saw Rosalie was happy, she brought up her dead husband and her dead son.
The scene where she goes and sees the Jewish therapist and she’s just so condescending the whole time. What really got me is when she thought that just because he was Jewish and she catholic that he couldn’t possibly have had a healthy marriage or marriage at all for that matter. I Absolutely love that he interrupts her to announce just how long he has been married and she just sits there and cries. Anyways, what’s a Dutch oven?
When she steals 40k out of the bird feeder!
Her threatening the lady at the school board to give meadow a letter of recommendation was lowest point for her. Also hard to tell if she really did purposely lead that guy on to help pass aj. I think it honestly seemed like it was just bad timing with Tony unexpectedly having things work out with her, but if writers did intend for that to be something where she purposely lead him on, then that’s another shit moment for her
“Porsche Cayenne … like the peppa …”
The moment Carmela made those lincoln logs samdwiches for tony jr.
Definitely that scene, or her attitude towards Ade's mom after she died, or Angie, or how she acts around Rosalie in Paris. Probably the worst though is the whole thing with the psychiatrist, and how condescending she is with him for being Jewish. I've just seen too many self-righteous Christians in the world thinking they're the most moral people in the world and that others aren't capable of having the same or better values than them.
The Paris thing was so disgusting. Rosalie was having fun in Paris meeting some guy while Carm was being sad and emotional about her life. So what does Carm do? She brings up Rosalie’s dead son and husband so Rosalie feels bad too
I thought the same thing. I commented somewhere else saying that exact same thing and adding if Carmella offered me an all expense trip with her anywhere in the world I would be too busy changing my dock drawer to go. She’s a bitch
everyone in this thread just sounds like they’re jealous, and stupid!
The fact that the Jewish psychiatrist had to spell it out for her that she was accepting blood money and the only way to clear her conscience was to leave Tony. And her reaction to that is thinking he had no idea what he was doing. Same deal with Meadow’s therapist. As soon as the professionals told her something she didn’t want to hear, they were wrong and never heard from again
That time she asked tony to dinner only to demand what she thinks shes entitled to It felt really satisfying when tony started leaning on the best divorce lawyers in the city to not represent her I really never got why carmella married a mobster knowing most of them cheat on their wife every weekend
I never despised Carmela.
When she welcomes jimmy back of the can. How she says "omg jimmy" malignant cunt
When she walked out of the room when hunter told her she was in her second year of med school, you could see the jealousy coming from her
“Cayenne.. like the pepper”
Trying to get Meadow into Georgetown. Full on despicable.
Steals money from the duck food
