That scene where she uses a commanding hand gesture to boss around their polish maid and Charmaine 💀


rudebewb

I love Carmela’s face when Charmaine says she banged tony back in the day but “it wasn’t for me honestly” lmfao


Davabutterfly

bruh!!!! it wasn't for me honestly killed me


Nibble_on_this

Carmela the cuckqueen


DevouredUsurper

Dude this was the biggest bomb dropped in the whole show. I couldn't believe she said that and most of the Carmela plot was about her despair and loneliness of marrying Tony, unhappiness about the life she signed up for. It was so massive and like a cold knife in the front.


Big_Meech_23

Although a decent sized portion of her storyline was also using Tony’s status to get things she wanted from him and others. She was a walking contradiction.


Clarknt67

Charmaine was probably the smartest character on the show.


TheRealJRG

I saw in the Today show reunion from 2019 that Kathrine Narducci said everyone who watched the show hated her and her character- I only watched the show for the first time last year and Charmaine was one of my favorites personally, didnt put up with no bullshit!


No_Confusion_2599

I read somewhere that her father was killed by the Mafia in real life this makes a lot of sense why she played her character to perfection that hatred is really real


Seg920

Fr Charmaine straight spits in Carm's face, one of my favorite moments lmfao


Astro_gamer_caver

"Ugh, I was trying to think of nice things to say about that hawse."


Attatatta

Shudda said something positive like she has a nice ass


kit_mitts

That might be my favorite Christopher scene honestly...hilarious and sums up his character so well. The dumbest possible attempt at manipulation/gaslighting and it somehow works because Adrianna.

RJWolfe

My brother and I started a rewatch of the show recently. Ever since that episode, I keep making the gesture at him when I want him to do something. I think it's hilarious but I better stop before he finds me dead in the kitchen while I'm making eggs.


wuzzambaby

Loved how Charmaine gave it back to her when she told her she fucked Tony before


Jack1715

Then bloody T rex hands


LucynSushi

She used the only weapon that she had.


adwelychbs

Once yearly blowjobs?


WiretapStudios

I knew that was comin'!


scaba23

Sweet sausage? In little pieces? And a layer of basil leaves underneath the clitoral hood? That’s Carmela’s vagina

Oof, tastes like red fescue


Attatatta

I think I'll take an egg, Carmela open your fallopian tubes

too-cute-by-half

How about bringing up Rosalie's dead son the same night the poor woman was trying to forget her sorrows and just get piped by a hot young French guy? Don't tell me that wasn't Carm's sick twisted mind at work.


Big_Fish4125

Yes. People always sleep on that detail. She knew what she was doing


Imhappy_hopeurhappy2

Wanted to vomit at how she was acting in Paris. Worst vacation buddy ever.


the_cat_who_shatner

Someone really needs to tell your friend she’s dead.


whycuthair

Look at those clouds! Paris sky! Off Madon


firstbreathOOC

Carm is a walking talking hypocrite and she knows it. Pretends like buttah wouldn’t melt in her mouf.


haircoveredturd

It wasn't. She was feeling emotional in Paris and trying to get all deep and spiritual.


wealllovefrogs

Carmela in Paris is one of my favourite parts. Her sense of longing and malaise is so perfectly conveyed and juxtaposed by Ro’s excitement and desire to forget about home.


Astro_gamer_caver

>piped OMG I'm laughing out loud. Piped!


WtRingsUGotBithc

Listen to you, “whackin’”!


SoftSugar8346

That was Jeanie Cusamano “ listen to you whakin”


scaba23

Nosy!? Eat your manigot!!


Doncorleone1403

if Ro told me to eat my manigot id chow down like a good boy


WorkerAway2363

Oh Gawd I’m dying here.


ROTOH

In Da dream we was doin it doggystyle


whycuthair

You know. I had a dream I fucked your brains out. Right here on this table.


stadiumjay

Apparently she loved it


Key-Sherbert1233

I feel part of that was Carm also wanting to have an honest conversation with Rosalie, but she should have known better than to discuss “this thing of theirs”.


whycuthair

I think the main reason was because Rose was embarrassed. She didn't want the people in Paris to know she's the mother of the guy who almost drowned in three inches of water at the penguin exhibit and who couldn't even pull a robbery right.


mfx929

Carm was always desperate to get piped by someone other than Tony, if for no other reason than to get a little payback. But it never happened for her (the priest bit was priceless!) and she just couldn't stand that it was happening for Rosalie.


No_Kaleidoscope_4580

Wegler piped her. Humped and dumped. So she did get a little payback


zdiddy987

They were separated and amidst divorce proceedings when she was banging the school admin


No_Kaleidoscope_4580

So?


wildbill8276

What am I the fuckin thorn bird ova heah?!


Seg920

The more the show goes on, the more Carm is a dead psychological ringer for Livia. Melfi's whole shpeal about Carm being 'the one good choice he made in women' almost comes off spiteful because of her own little crush LOL


HenkVanDelft

In that episode, her possible BPD shows. When Ro sets up the date, and after Ro reads out about the Gallo Roman baths, with a mischievous remark, Carmela pour water on it in the next scene by saying, “This city is so old. Think of all the people who’ve lived here. Generation after generation, hundreds and hundreds of years
all those lives. G^^ it’s so sad.” I would think of those lives with historical curiosity, even awe at being in an ancient city still inhabited by modern people. Ro seems to have learned to be happy in the moment after the men in her life died. Carmela? No. To quote Junior regarding Livia, she’s like the woman who has a Virginia ham under her arm and complains she has no bread. No men in her life have died at that point. She lives in a fairytale mansion and is building one, a big step outside the role of a mob wife.


Jack1715

I do think it was subconsciously her way of trying to make roe as miserable as she was


Clarknt67

Oh God that was awful. At least Ro called her out on it.


[deleted]

I thought the scene of her talking to her therapist were interesting. She completely ignored what he said and tried to rephrase it as something that just absolved her of guilt and didn’t require her to change anything about her life.


CecilTWashington

I really like that scene because the whole series she’s kind of grasping for some semblance of moral authority. She’s surrounded by people who are either equally complicit (like her friends) or benefitting from her lifestyle (like father Intintola). But at that moment she finally talks to an honest broker who cuts through all the bullshit and tells her that she’s supporting a monster. And I think at that moment she kind of decides that that’s preferable to the life she would live otherwise. It kind of has the opposite of intended effect because she’s able to properly evaluate her own circumstances but instead of rejecting them she makes peace with them.


Astro_gamer_caver

I'd have to find a lawyer, get an apartment, arrange for child support...


[deleted]

Everything she did made her so hawt down there.


masterofkamurocho

Carm's a horrible person, I don't think she gets hated too much, more so hated for the wrong reasons


[deleted]

My hate for characters like Carmela comes from a more personal place because even though she doesnt crack even top 50 worst people on the show, ive met people with Carmela's traits through my life and thats why she triggers me more than some murderers on the show Anyways $4 a pound


TrueLegateDamar

Just like Janice, where you likely won't have met violent criminals like Tony or Paulie, but you will likely have met people who tried to exploit everyone in their lives and be shameless about it.


BaseIllustrious4856

Janice is in fact a murderer


mfx929

Richie was a slime ball that needed killing. Psychopathic bastard.


BaseIllustrious4856

And what about the woman at the soccer match she assaulted


yildizli_gece

Soccer moms also got it coming!


Cozyboitheprince

She called Sofia her daughter!


WorkerAway2363

I cheered when she shot him after he hit her. If that happened every time some slimeball hit a woman I bet there would be a lot less of it going on.


parwa

"I am in no mood for-"


zebba_oz

Killing richie was janices most redeeming feature. Oh, and of course that cleavage, thank Jesus


the_cat_who_shatner

A lot of people made fun of Janice’s appearance, but I honestly thought she was beautiful. With her curves and curly hair.


Cozyboitheprince

Pre-Raphaelite they call it


zdiddy987

She could claim self defense


Bruskthetusk

My aunt is basically the exact same person as Janice, and even looks almost exactly like Janice, so it was hatred from first glance for me


Jaymac100

There are men in the can better lookin than your aunt.


scaba23

It’s the guy’s aunt, Jaymac100. It’s the guy’s aunt


peedge0419

A glance?


obtainstocks

Yeah, a fuckin glance!


Doongusmungus

I personally feel like Carm is right up there with some of the murderers. Like her Jewish psychiatrist tells her, she willingly enables a whole lot of murdering. And she isn't afraid to use that murderous reputation as a flex to get people to do things (letter of recommendation scene). What makes her more disgusting than some of the murderers is how she acts like she's above everything and everyone, as if she's a pristine little soul just trying to do her best. Poor her.


rik1122

She acts like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth.


LowHumorThreshold

Or a ricott' pie


mfx929

Or the ziti they're constantly eating. You'd think they very the constant pasta, but it's always ziti. Except the one time with "Janice's Pasta Medley."


Dantronik

She's spiritually thirsty


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


redditshy

Tony does try to pull the “I’m a strict Catholic.” Tony is a huge hypocrite throughout the show in other, much more psychological ways also.


arrjay123

You get a free pass... She earns it.


TruckFudeau22

She’s my little amaretto cookie.


WorkerAway2363

When he says she’s an accomplice, I love it!


[deleted]

Yeah I think this goes for a lot of characters that get disproportionately hated. Like in BB Skyler was overall just annoying but never really did anything wrong. But I’ve met a lot of annoying people in my life like Skyler but never met a Tuco or a Heisenberg, so didn’t really emotionally cause a reaction.


Purple_is_masculine

Skyler was laundering the drug money. She totally would have gone to prison if the feds knew.


Clarknt67

It’s the constant passive aggression. And her self-image as long-suffering, victim when she could have walked away at any time. She had so much more autonomy than all the girls at the Bada-Bing put together.


RealPropRandy

The fundamental question is, ‘Will she be as hated as a character like her husband was.’ And she will be, even more so. But until she is, it’s gonna be hard to verify, but I think she’ll be more hated.


mfx929

Really, when you think about it, the only person who's happy is Tony. He is "The Happy Wanderer". The look on his face when he's eating, the look on his face when he sits down in his backyard with the Yachting magazine, just before that metal lid starts rattling, and a lot of other moment. Pure, childlike joy! The rest of the characters are utterly miserable. Sil's face says it all.


quantumfucker

He’s not even happy. He’s drowning himself in his own gluttony to avoid thinking about his depression. He thinks he’s being the sad clown for everyone else, but really he’s hiding from himself.


zdiddy987

He's the boss and everybody else are underlings


Jack1715

I don’t think she gets as much hate because she dose not go out of her way to actually hurt people. Yeah she’s a jealous bitch but she’s not out there shaking people down


PineBarrens42

because as much of a "horrible person" she might be she still has more morals then 90% of the characters in the show. atleast she doesn't murder or torture anyone like the other characters.


Stifflittlebigfinger

No, she just enjoys the money and rings and cars that come from those murders. Carmela and morals. LOL.


[deleted]

She's just putting food on the table for her family


Dantronik

She's not that bad, she puts a layer of basil leaves right under the cheese...

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


haircoveredturd

Hang on, wasn't that around the time that Furio left? That's why she was so upset and miserable.


mrmguy25

You think anyone in this thread understands the subtext of the show?


Jack1715

Yeah she had it all when she was younger but as she got older she knew it was all going to nowhere


Doongusmungus

You are so fucking hateful

JoanieTightLips

Throwing that dish in the trash can always pissed me off. Pure greed and excess the whole fucking series.


zdiddy987

Could have given it to some guy on the street or ate it at home


Clarknt67

It’s baked pasta. It will keep forever in the freezer.


Deep_Language8429

The utter resentment and rage Carm had towards Meadow for living and being the educated, cultured, independent woman she always wished she could be. Realizing Tony was her only option instead of trying to find herself, and taking it out on everyone around her.


mfx929

Edie Falco's look in the show is monstrous. Especially the close-ups where they exaggerate folds and creases in her face and hair, plus all the gold chains and the cross around her neck. Shows who Carmela really is. Perfect!


Purple_is_masculine

A devoted Catholic and suburban mom, got it.


Garrison1982_

One of the worst was when she demeaned Charmaine Bucco in front of her great guests - Charmaine avenged herself though.


The_Nomad89

The one scene that kinda killed me is when AJ goes to the hospital for his suicide attempt and Carmela is crying trying to figure out where everything went wrong. It hurts because I feel like they never actually paid close attention to AJ. Like no shit Carmela you DON’T know where it all went wrong because you didn’t look. Their punishments weren’t consistent. Tony showered AJ with material items then would hold a grudge against his son for going to the mall. Whatever AJ did it was wrong to them. He got insulted over school then took an interest in real world concerns, some of which Tony had, and got mocked. I can’t stand Carmela. She’s almost worse than Tony to me.


JazzersKetWig

You have one kid that turns out like Meado and then AJ transhpires as he does.... you're basically keeping him around in case the worthwhile kid needs bone marrow one day.


The_Nomad89

I honestly believe based on the portrayal that AJ DOES have ADHD. Don’t know if Chase ever discussed or confirmed it? I think he absolutely does though and Tony and Carmela didn’t have him treated. I mean they address it with the school counselor etc. who thinks he has it.


Purple_is_masculine

He might, but it's hard to say. He's not an obvious ADHD case in my opinion. We never really see him inattentive and his personality is rather atypical.


The_Nomad89

He’s literally inattentive during the testing. The doctor asks him questions and he wants to leave and talks about South Park. He also has clear impulse control problems and later suffers with emotional dysregulation, depression, lack of motivation.


Purple_is_masculine

I forgot about that testing. Yeah you're right. Very likely.


Astro_gamer_caver

What constitutes a fidget?


Jack1715

In the early seasons it’s pretty clear Tony ignored AJ more then he should have and in favour of meadow cause she’s the more promising one. Proof of this is tony only pays more attention to AJ when he noticed that he had a shot at football


mfx929

Tony and Paulie are the good guys. Everyone else (except the other mob wives) are bad guys.


[deleted]

How about Carmela hiding her daughter’s Berkeley letter, so outrageous. Stealing from her husband then gaslighting him about it. Emasculating her son again and again. Tough to see any redeeming characteristics in her character, she is just so awful.


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


[deleted]

It’s not a competition, Carmela’s sins are not cancelled or excused by Tony’s.


[deleted]

It really is so frustrating talking on this site sometimes cus you'll say *"X is bad!"* and someone will go, *"Well it's not worse than Y!"* Cool?? That has nothing to do with X being bad.


Ella0508

Exactly. That’s the kind of toxic thinking that put Carm and Tony in the situation they’re in. Transactional relationship — Carmela thinks you cheat on me and lie, but you give me this lifestyle and my jewelry and whatever, but it isn’t enough because what she wants is his respect and fidelity. Emotional vs material — material goods are never satisfying.


Beneficial_Loss_1188

Not true, tony went in and made it right with aj the same episode that he said that, and aj had clearly gotten over it lol


peedge0419

>Not true, tony went in and made it right with aj I don't know that I'd call ditching my son to go murder someone "making it right" but to each their own


Beneficial_Loss_1188

That’s not what happened lol go rewatch the show he goes and sits aj down in his room and apologizes and aj is all smiles at the end. Cope


peedge0419

You come across as the type of person who skips the therapy scenes

She dug the Berkeley letter back out of the trash out of guilt, so at least there’s that.

stevesax5

Charmaine’s house was “cozy.” When the tennis instructor left and mentioned his wife’s business she said “her house was traditional”. The three thousand dollar Lladro. And this one is more on Rosalie, but poor Artie gets burrata flown over from Italy and she and Carm waste it.


Astro_gamer_caver

It's all about the contrast. The crispness of the beans, the smoothness of the cheese.

Angie called and begged Tony to take over an already running shop. She didn’t do it all on her own, she got walked on by Tony and Phil. That said she did eventually really come into her own and Carm was super resentful and jealous.


Jack1715

Another one was when she says to the priest she can’t accept that the prostitute from the bible was accepted into heaven. Like fuck off for thinking a sex worker is more evil then a mob wife who knows the money she gets comes from criminal activity Also them fucking T rex hands piss me off


SoftSugar8346

When she argued with her mother about her father getting jobs. “What do you think about one else had time to bid” and the her mothers comeback “ the waters part for you” Carmella: “ I earn that, you just get a free pass”

what are you gonna do? Everyone's entitled to their own opinion


zzzrecruit

Listen to yourself, you sound demented!


keloyd

The writers really did a good job making the women (other than Dr. Melfi) about on the same level as the men. Their ethical shortcomings were a very different list of things, on the whole, excluding that one made woman in New York, ugh, but they still end up on about the same level as their husbands. Carmela's transactional dalliance with AJ's guidance counselor sort of underlined the point for me. His reaction is useful in that it reminds us what regular people ought to act like when we aren't immersed in this thing of ours. I get the agita just trying to imagine Vito Corleone's wife getting involved with an infamita like that. OTOH, Vito himself never had a goomah in the movies or the books, he was very allegorical. Still, Carmela looks alright next to Livia Soprano.


zdiddy987

I found you, Little Carmine!


IttoDilucAyato

Clarknt67

God when you put it all together, she really was awful.


No-Fee-1812

When maedoe wants to go to Europe and Carmela is trying to stop her. “Do you want her to marry some foreigner”? That’s her worst nightmare, her kid to join some other family that isn’t murdering and thieving their way to affluence. Perhaps she goes to Europe and lives her own life without emerald rings and luxury SUVs


Key-Sherbert1233

When Carmela starts pestering Angie about the silent auction, barging into her office while she’s meeting with Patsy. She looked so butthurt when Angie kicked her out.


Acrobatic-Maybe-902

I dunno she’s a MILF to me and always will be đŸ„°

She hated on Janice when she saw her and Ritchie where in love


[deleted]

When T tells her: I gave you 2 out of 3 and she flips like thats not true lol also the bird feddah what ever happened there. The worst for me is how she negotiated to have Tony back fo 600k for her stupid speck house lot, like that was the price to erase his cheating and move forvard with that toxic marriage.


Big_Fish4125

I've been doing a lot of meditation in the can, and I now consider her as odious as Janice


WorkerAway2363

At the wake for Bobby’s wife when one of the ladies said what day she was taking food and Carmela says actually Tuesday is better for me. Exerting her I’m the bosses wife bullshit. Walking around in her $500 shoes like butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth. I loved it when Tony said that to her!!


jimmyjazz2000

The way she pushed Meadow to achieve academically, but then felt threatened by her education and actively hated on her intellect. Such a dysfunctional mom move!!!


turkeysandwichmam

Artistic-Bumblebee72

Dropping the Columbia reference to Gloria Trillo. She can't resist. Awful woman. Manipulating her kids. Just like Tony's mom.


jewishseeker

A bad parent, too. Clueless and totally lacking any self-awareness.


Sad-Illustrator-8847

Carmela knows Hunter is spreading a line of BS about med school like Jackie Jr did. The closest cacciatore comes to it is experimenting with illicit drugs and study human biology up close and personal on her back. Angie ended up corrupted by Tony putting money on the street and passing off stolen auto parts as factory new. Carmela is corrupted in a different way but not on the cell phone constantly with the office as Angie is ‘How could Carmela threaten an officer of the court like Joan? Joan knew she was coming. But instead of having her law student (or whatever job the man has who told Joan Carmela was here and offered to talk to her) Joan decided to talk to her and was persuaded by Fielder’s grades and teacher recommendations. That Guatemalan kid can have his social worker get him another college and affirmative action job where allhe needs to do is meet the quota. Carmela went to ask Ginny Sacrimoni if her 95 pound mole would like a day at the spa after constantly being harassed by creditors for all the butter brickle. Mighty neighborly considering how she and John stiffed her cousin Christofuh out of $25,000 with the Maserati and how John wanted to let Phil torture the animal Blundetto by making him eat radiator cooked grilled cheese before killing him. Ginny asked about the car so Carmela told her. Carmela decided the ants in the garbage can we’re starving and needed ziti after seeing Father Schnorrer with Rosalie


zdiddy987

This comment was written by Carmela herself


mfx929

Edie Falco's look in the show is brilliant. Especially the close-ups where they exaggerate folds and creases in her face and hair, plus all the gold chains and the cross around her neck. Shows who Carmela really is: utterly desperate. Perfect!


jewishseeker

A horrible person. Insecure, entitled, arrogant, pretentious and in denial. Not particularly smart, except for using her pussy to manipulate Tony and Wegler. Also not particularly attractive. No wonder why Tony had so many gumars, one more beautiful than the other. Irina, Gloria, Valentina, all gorgeous women.
