It just really brought the room together, didn't it?

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 it was Paulie who was watching the Little Rascals I would have died.
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.

i could imagine they would get sticky in hot weather, like old cars with
vinyl interiors! Ick..

Back in the 60's when the UHF stations began, commercials for them ran
constantly.

My brother keeps the plastic wrap on video cassette boxes..

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.
Now, that was funny. The incredible thing was that he actually improved the
painting.

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.

And notice the thing that pushed him over the edge into hitting Christopher was
the nasty thing he said to his mother.
The Sopranos is presented as a Post-modern Tragic Comedy. Don't
confuse comedy with ‘funny'; they aren't necessarily synonymous.

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."
For example Dr. Strangelove. T

Excellent example. That particular movie must be tied with Casablanca
for quotable lines.
Here's a break, you're a fucking moron.

gee... i never heard that one before.
did you write that?
Evidently, there are a great number of items of which you don't
possess basic knowledge. That is, considering your continued
appearances as a non-conversant imbecile.
Have you even contemplated posting a cogent idea?
You made a post telling us all the definition of tragicomedy, and i
said gimme a fucking break.
you stupid asshole.

we dont need the internet anymore.
We've all got Allan Pagan to educate us and tell us everything we need
to know about Hobbits and tragicomedy and living at home in your 30s.
I bet you've got SOME comic collection, eh?

…< Sniff, sniff > poor little Vinnie…
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
Usenet made up a story in order to believe he has some significance.
Boo-hoo-hoo…
Maybe next time you could coalesce your thoughts (I know, it's
axiomatic that you don't think) into a single post?
how about this... keep your fucking comments in this newsgroup to the
SOPRANOS and I'll do the same.
not everything in the world has to be about you.

…Boo-hoo-hoo…poor you. If you weren't an unqualified dolt, this would
be completely riotous. Do you actually believe I care, even the
slightest bit, what you think I should do or what you are planning?
Only one poorly scripted post this time. What's the matter, your
circus-trailer a little short on crayons tonight?

Actually, al pal, it means I'm done with you... like a crusty jizz
rag.
You really need to check that anger with a professional.
bye!
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.

The majority of "old school" Italians have plastic covers on their furniture.
