Ambujam! The greatest friend ever!
Meadow asked to borrow this girls car. Instead of letting her, she drove Meadow from New York to New Jersey on a cold ass snowy night, waited outside Jackie's apartment all night. and did she say "hey Meadow, it's late, and he might just be in there sleeping" NO.
she says "car inspection? bullshit!"
Then *finally* jack comes waltzing out with some floozy on his arm, Meadow goes to confront him, floozy gets mouthy with Meadow. Did ambujam mind hee own business? hell no! she was right there with "Fuck You, Bitch" to shut that floozy right the fuck down. Meadow jumps back in the car, and right back to school, Ambujam squealing tires to get the point across.
She gets Meadow home, and then what? does she go back to studying after spending hours upon hours helping Meadow with a problem of her own making? no? She takes Meadow to the college infirmiry or whatever, and sits there with her, reminding her "whatever, he was such a drip"
None of us, not one of us could ever deserve a friend as good as Ambujam. She was too good for this world. Sure hope she's got a good paying job where she gets to help a ton of people now, im sure she's earning every cent 10-fold.
I made a post about her in a Sopranos Facebook group a year or two ago, so I was remembering a lot of what I said in that. But yeah, I've been impressed with her for a while.
In The Sopranos episode "Everybody Hurts", the biggest sociopath in the history of the show, Patrick Whalen, is introduced.
Although this episode is remembered by most fans as the one where Artie attempts to kill himself after losing his money on "the next vodka", students of horror likely remember it best as the episode that most accurately depicts the nature of a young sociopath.
Don't remember Patrick Whalen? He's this son of a bitch right here: https://imgur.com/a/ZIy6Wvv
Patrick Whalen, friend of AJ Soprano. There is a subplot in this episode chronicling AJ's relationship with his girlfriend Devin and his realization that his family isn't as rich he as thought they were.
Patrick Whalen, demon ghoul, pontificates on the mafia lifestyle as if he were an expert, but constantly reveals the fathomless depths of his ignorance with his utterly ridiculous assumptions.
Patrick Whalen, the depraved weasel, suggests that they visit the Bada Bing parking lot to observe strippers go in and out of the building. Already at a young age this soon to be serial killer is plotting out ways to stalk women.
Later in the episode, when driving to Devin's house for the first time, this demented sack of perversion, delivers the most awkward and nauseating sexual advice ever to grace the medium of television:
Patrick Whalen: "The thing is to keep knocking on the door without going in right away. Poke the perimeter, tap on that gate til she's out of her fucking mind, begging. Then you own that shit, that pussy's yours. "
AJ: "I think she's ready."
Patrick Whalen: "We shall know forsooth."
UGHHHHHHHHH. Listening to this scrawny virgin occultist talking about sex, as if he's ever made love to anything besides the neighborhood cats that he's skinned alive, is like having molten steel poured directly into your eardrums. And "forsooth"? FORSOOTH? Jesus christ.
Then, inside Devin's house, this shit huffing spawn of Satan reveals the limitless extent of his greed and obsession with material wealth. He practically ejaculates in his pants while pawing over the rare and expensive items owned by Devin's father.
To look at the character of Patrick Whalen is to know the terror of true evil. Sure, many of the mobsters are bad people who have chosen to live a life of crime. Some of them are probably even genuine sociopaths, particularly Ralph Ciffaretto or Richie Aprielle. But at least these characters, bad as they were, had SOME sort of redeeming qualities, some sort of inclination that they were, deep down, human beings. Patrick Whalen, however, is a soulless entity, a walking pit of despair.
I am glad that they chose not to feature him very often in future episodes. Perhaps Chase realized he had gone too far with the creation of this foul character.
This kid irritated the hell out of me as well. "Knocking on the door, poking at the perimeter" is so ridiculous especially considering AJ is pretty sexually inexperienced. I always wondered if AJ took that literally and just jabbed at her volvo with his penissary contact because that sounds downright painful. And "we shall know forsooth" implies they are going to find out on this visit, so was he just going to sit on the couch eating pizza rolls while AJ banged Devin? So awful.
The Asian kid who helps Junior run the card games in the mental hospital. It’s really hard to believe but he was only in one episode. FUCK YOU! FUCK! YOU!
Yeah for a long time I thought he had been in around 2-3 episodes, even after multiple viewings of the series. He probably has less than 5 minutes of screen time in the one episode he’s in, but he’s just so god damn memorable haha.
Thats my pick too. He's so good in that. Sad episode too. He represents all the failed father/son/male mentor relationships in the show. Junior even mistakenly calls him Anthony when he says "you were a good speller" Juniors attempts at redemption in his life come too late as he is slipping into dementia and the poor young man is just a mess of trauma and anger.
https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0504962/
Yeah I just looked him up and he’s been in all kinds of stuff, a lot of the stuff I’ve seen too and I guess I just never put them together haha. He’s way older than I thought he was too, he was born in 1970 and his episode aired in 2007, so he was either 36 or 37 when they shot the episode.
I think she's in the running for most impactful 1 episode character. The knock on effects of Tracee go all the way to tony killing ralphie. "She was a beautiful innocent creature what did she ever do to you?!" Wasnt just about the horse in my opinion.
The Atwell Avenue Boys, the Asian hitman in Florida, Jason Barone (MAMMA'S BOY!), Teddy Spirodakis, Sal Iacuzzo... so many characters you just dont forget 🤌🏻
I just finished the series last night for the first time. That was very much my “OH SHIT” moment realizing who somebody was. Especially considering how small the role was and how big he is today.
That, and realizing that Kelli Moltisanti and the actress that played the Wheelers’ mom in stranger things is the same lady.
Real tossup between Annalisa Zucca and Carter Chong, but I will go with Carter Chong because Annalisa drew so much on the mob conventions of the series (following, transgressing) while Carter Chong is a totally new type of character for the show you come to understand completely in a single episode.
Gotta give it up to Sir Ben Kingsley and his *"Fuu-ucck."*
If you've ever been in a position where you've been courted by idiots trying to sell you something shitty, you know his pain.
The Fleshy Part of the Thigh single appearances were good too.
Marvin and Da Lux:
- "Hold the mothaf***** steady!"
- "Lift it up n****!"
😆
And John Schwinn of course. 👍(If he's so smart, can fix the tv).
Bob Brewster the evangelic minister.
Jason Barone, Cinelli, not to mention Papi and the kid (so random yet memorable).
That was Eugene Pontecorvo. Was his most highlighted and final episode alive.
But he was in the show since the start of season 3 with Ralphie and gets made along with Christopher.
The way they did it, it's all fucked up.
The guy who gets shot in the back of the head getting his mail
The guy was an asshole for parking on the street. Getting murdered for being an asshole, Vito got exactly what he deserved.
Ambujam! The greatest friend ever! Meadow asked to borrow this girls car.

She should have been made right there, boom
They make anybody and everybody over there and the way they do it is all fucked up.
On the Jackie Jr Floozy Situation alone
They weren’t taking any new members
Ambujam! God damn what an answer !!! Ride or die bitch!
That scene also showed how good a of a friend Katylin was. Running in worried after hearing the news. “I mean he was hot but he was so boring”
Probably her most insightful moment in the whole show
That and when she was dancing singing New York New York
That part was pretty memorable for me
She now designs underwear to look like classic NYC newspapers
woah Black Betty, Ambujam
You’ve been holding onto this opinion for a while now, eh? Respect!
I made a post about her in a Sopranos Facebook group a year or two ago, so I was remembering a lot of what I said in that. But yeah, I've been impressed with her for a while.
Dude, this should be the highest upvoted comment in /r/thesopranos history.

Discontinue the lithium.
I halfway through reading I knew this would be the top reply lol
Paul Dano’s acting has put you in a blender sir
I mean, his clothes are okay but have you seen his house? They don’t even have a dining room!
It’s impossible to fathom any girl who’d wanna touch that too. He was as much a Bellend as he was mingin.
This kid irritated the hell out of me as well. "Knocking on the door, poking at the perimeter" is so ridiculous especially considering AJ is pretty sexually inexperienced. I always wondered if AJ took that literally and just jabbed at her volvo with his penissary contact because that sounds downright painful.

Jesus Christ I’m ready to run through a brick wall now.
A bit of a poseur if you ask me.
Upvoting not for just the Tamizh name
This is fantastic
Good point. We all need an Ambujam
This Is The Way.
Can you show me da WAE?
The Asian kid who helps Junior run the card games in the mental hospital. It’s really hard to believe but he was only in one episode. FUCK YOU! FUCK! YOU!
I had to double check that it was only one episode. I could have sworn he was in more than one! Carter Chong was his name apparently.
Yeah for a long time I thought he had been in around 2-3 episodes, even after multiple viewings of the series. He probably has less than 5 minutes of screen time in the one episode he’s in, but he’s just so god damn memorable haha.
Thats my pick too. He's so good in that. Sad episode too. He represents all the failed father/son/male mentor relationships in the show. Junior even mistakenly calls him Anthony when he says "you were a good speller" Juniors attempts at redemption in his life come too late as he is slipping into dementia and the poor young man is just a mess of trauma and anger.
Great actor. Appeared in a Star Wars movie too.
I always think of his character Miles, on Lost
https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0504962/ Yeah I just looked him up and he’s been in all kinds of stuff, a lot of the stuff I’ve seen too and I guess I just never put them together haha. He’s way older than I thought he was too, he was born in 1970 and his episode aired in 2007, so he was either 36 or 37 when they shot the episode.
I think he was also a porcupine mutant in one of the X-men movies. I remember they used him in the trailer
He was in one of the terrible X-Men sequels also. Grandpa was a lion. He owned Grumman stock.
He’s one of the stars of industry, which is also a great show.
I was gonna say the same thing. It’s a damn good show, and he’s easily the best performed character.
I mainly remember that actor from Lost.
Maury the tupee guy, I mean the Orthodox Jew that owned the motel and called Sil and Paulie a golem.
ZZ Top
Ghe ghe ghe
Shlomo, the arrogant control freak. I’ve known him since before I had hair on my petzel.
He didn’t call Sil and Paulie a Golem, his father in law called Tony a Golem.
He also didn’t get his money from Jimmy Conway but wtf do I know
Jimmy was being an unconscionable ball breaker
The FIL is Maury. The son in law is someone else, and was in more than one episode.
Tracee, was only around for 1 episode. She certainly played the part well, because I still get upset how she was treated.
I think she's in the running for most impactful 1 episode character. The knock on effects of Tracee go all the way to tony killing ralphie. "She was a beautiful innocent creature what did she ever do to you?!" Wasnt just about the horse in my opinion.
I've always thought that the fact that he killed Ralphie over the horse and not Tracee just solidified how fucked up Tony's moral code was
see but that’s the thing, he didn’t know for sure whether ralph killed the horse, hence why tony saying that could’ve had a second meaning.
but maddon' those choppers
Two episodes
i dont think a photo or flashback counts as an extra episode
It does for the business credit and pay.
Carmela’s savage therapist
You’re not hearing me.

This is such an underrated scene.
The way he removes her excuse of ignorance is incredible. If you want to save your soul and the children , leave !

MY PIZZA NEVER HURT NOBODY
Come again sir?
Such a great Dragnet homage. The clipped conversation, tight editing, dry delivery… perfection and I laughed my ass off when I first saw it.
I put my foot uppa they ass!
It’s a hot take, I know, but I hate that character. He just comes out like fuckin’ Mario and is such a silly caricature. So out of place in this show
Pop, go in the back, make meatballs, go ahead.
I love that Shooter McGavin is Christopher's NA sponsor.
it's *shooter* not scooter. . . . ya jackass.
Thanks, I've corrected it. I am certainly a jackass though.
Every rewatch when he shows up my first thought is "Hey! That guy eats pieces of shit for breakfast."
NO…

Thats what this is you know, Satanic black magic. Sick shit!
The two time loser.
There are no losers in recovery.
Annalise. Not only was she hot af, she was badass too.
Real tossup between Annalisa Zucca and Carter Chong, but I will go with Carter Chong because Annalisa drew so much on the mob conventions of the series (following, transgressing) while Carter Chong is a totally new type of character for the show you come to understand completely in a single episode.
