50 Moments That Prove ‘The Sopranos’ Is a Comedy

Order your hits now, because The Sopranos is a comedy. 

Sure, it may have won 21 Emmys for drama, but there’s no way that a show with that many funny characters spouting that many classic one-liners isn’t a comedy. From Christopher’s malaprops, to Tony’s ridiculous fits of rage, to just about anything involving Paulie Walnuts, The Sopranos has supplied some of the biggest laughs in the history of television.

You can fight me about it, but just know that I’ve assembled an almost-literal murderers’ row to back me up, including cast members Vincent “Big Pussy” Pastore, Robert “A.J. Soprano” Iler, John “Artie Bucco” Ventimiglia, Joe “Vito Spatafore” Gannascoli, Dan “Philly and Patsy Parisi” Grimaldi and Ray “Little Carmine” Abruzzo as well as Terence Winter, the writer and producer behind many of the show’s funniest moments. (The only person to write more episodes of The Sopranos than Winter? David Chase, the show’s creator.)

Jason Alexander Says ‘Serenity Now’ After the Yankees Don’t Compensate Him for Their George Costanza Bobblehead Promotion

It’s the new Summer of George, and, as was the case during the last one, the New York Yankees aren’t giving George a cent.

To be fair to George Steinbrenner and the rest of the Yankees staff in the mid-1990s, very little of what George Costanza accomplished during his time working for the team on Seinfeld really deserved compensation or consideration. Most of George’s plans for The Pinstripes backfired spectacularly — as was the case with the dreaded cotton uniforms — and, as the Assistant to the Traveling Secretary, he seemed to actually assist his boss, Mr. Wilhelm, much less often than he created new problems for the Traveling Secretary and the rest of the storied franchise.
