I was laughing at Paulie's plastic chair cover. What's up with that? Does
he tend to make a mess with his TV dinners??

Being from an italian family it is well known Italians do that. Especially in a
living Room in the front of the house, the couch, the chairs. NO ONE uses that
room, everything is just plastic covered. Never knew why! That room is not the
TV watching room.

If Tony ever finds out that the painting is hanging at Paulie's place
we could see another whacking.

A truly piss your pants moment, he hangs the pic, then sits in the chair
with the plastic slipcover & flicks on his TV.

The mom in My Big Fat Greek Wedding also has those plastic covers on the
furniture, so it isn't just an Italian thing. In fact, I grew up in a
Slovak/Polish/Catholic neighborhood and a lot of my neighbors had those covers
also. So glad my mom didn't use them, they are awful.

It was creepy, not funny. Paulie was uneasy having Tony, whom he no longer
respects as his General, staring at him, over his shoulder. So he doctors up
the painting so Tony appears more respectable to him. Them he's still uneasy,
which shows there's something very deeply wrong with their relationship. All
subliminal, of course. Surreal, maybe, but it most certainly wasn't comedy.

It seems that most often you see those plastic furniture covers in the
houses of less well off people, or those that came from hard
circumstances. They had to work hard to get their luxuries, so they
are protective of them. So to me the seat covers on Paulie's
furniture is a sign that he, or his parents, were poor at one time.
They couldn't afford to clean or replace furniture, so they covered
it. He may have $$$ now, but he's still following an old habit or
tradition.

As for the painting, I think he kept it as a trophy. I thought
Ralphie started the fire, but after seeing how Paulie was acting in
last nights episode, now I think he started it.

The Sopranos is presented as a Post-modern Tragic Comedy. Don't
confuse comedy with ‘funny'; they aren't necessarily synonymous.

http://homepage.mac.com/roberthuber/2degenres.html

Tragicomedy

Tragicomedy is more than just a play that has serious and comic
elements. It is a play in which the fundamental and deeply disturbing
themes of tragedy are dealt with in a tone that varies between serious
and humorous. It is the most difficult form to appreciate since the
shifts between its two modes leave the audience feeling unsteady and
uncertain. It is viewed by some as the quintessential form of
twentieth century drama, dealing as it does with themes of moral
uncertainty, loneliness, and alienation. There is little relief
through laughter, catharsis, or happy ending. On stage, Theatre of the
Absurd is its most obvious manifestation.

Surrealism and comedy are not mutually exclusive. I thought the scene
was perplexing, and funny. But I thought the funniest line was,
delivered staccato, ".. and his hair was in the toilet. Disgusting."

Excellent example. That particular movie must be tied with Casablanca

I'm not attacking you, just highlighting the superior traits of your
persona. Not only are you an abject imbecile, you're also a
top-posting fuckwit. I'll be sure to tell everyone that Mom will be
assuming possession of my properties, because a pathetic illiterate on

Yeah, that was priceless all right! Please tell me how that's an example of
Chrissy's drug abuse "impacting on Sil directly"? Just that he saw it and it
made him sick? LOL!

He had another great one-liner too. At the pre-intervention, Dominic asked
the group if anyone had been to an intervention before. After everyone
looked around at each other silently for a minute or so, Sil volunteered,
"We caught our daughter smoking pot once."

It was also funny how Gabriella followed up w/, "No, not really." (re
intervention exp.)

Silvio always makes me laugh.
