The Tragic Rise & Fall of Bobby Bacala | The Sopranos

Фильм және анимация

In The Sopranos, gangster Bobby Bacala starts off as a bumbling character, oafish and considered a laughing stock by the other mobsters. However, as the show goes on, Bobby proves himself to Tony Sopranos, and shows that he is the strong, silent type.
Let's take a look at the rise of Bobby Baccalieri, and his tragic ultimate downfall.

    have you guys seen him being on Eric Andre's show? which is a very non-serious comedy show and Andre makes fun of his Marinara sauce that Schrimpa was selling and he got so offended he threw him off his chair and said "I'll seriously f^%$ you up", btw the only guest that got that offended and a lot of people didn't watch the Talking Sopranos podcast because he's that annoying, dude was such a yapper with such a massive lack of understanding of the writing of the show for someone who's had inside knowledge

    Three things about this great video 1 - The actor stopped wearing the fat suit because his character lost weight. 2 - You mentioned how Bobby was standing up to people - My favorite was when he was ready to fight Paulie after Paulie's negligence in Season 6-Ep 9; The Ride. This showed me how much more confident he was since Paulie's position made him untouchable and at that point, I would have liked someone to flatten Paulie. 3 - Great point that I completely missed - Tony was probably jealous of Bobby because in a lot of ways he was closer with Junior and treated nicer than Tony was. Don't know how I could have missed that symbolism.

    Tony never badmouths Bobby to Janice as boyfriend/husband unlike he did with both Richie and Ralphie. After the fight Tony orders him to make the hit, which is is similar what he did with Chris and the cop. Tony definitely wants to know some crime Bobby has committed if he is going to promote him. So the hit is part punishment, part promotion.

    Bobby was way overweight earlier in the series but I only think he was a laughing stock because of Tony constantly deriding him. None of the other mobsters insulted him that I remember. It was mostly because of his weight and because he was assigned to Junior. He was never really given any responsibility to handle in the earlier seasons other than looking after Junior. And his father was a well liked and respected hitman. I do remember the NYC guys making a comment about him at the end when they say he was #3 in Tony's organization but that was it.

    people see Christopher being replaced by Bobby as an embarrassment for Christopher and he was a f^%$ up to be sure but it's also a signal about the failure of Tony and his regime in the family, he loved Christopher's dad and Christopher was the closest guy to him by FAR, so them falling apart is kind of the doom of Tony, that he has to replace him with Bobby and he obviously didn't like Bobby, but with Christopher he could actually hang out with him, and Tony himself directly caused this to a degree, Christopher was no boss or even Capo material but he still was decent enough as a soldier but Tony was trying to push him higher where he didn't belong

You'd have to take a lot of practice in a gun range, then convert those skills out in the field. With all the distractions and obstacles, Bobby got his shot on target, then stealthily got away. With his girth, ya gotta hand it to the guy. A mob hitman with street cred.

    In Bobby’s defense he was a pretty reliable dude, he had no drug problems and a long history of being loyal to his wife. Meaning to say most of the crew were liabilities on a good day but Bobby was almost always a safe bet. Sometimes being a safe bet can make you the most valuable guy in the room. Also as far as we know Bobby really did fall in love with Janice.

    It's funny how in real life, Steve Schirripa is a bit of that goofy, cartoony Italian type that's often depicted in the show, whereas Bobby's a little bit more of the odd one out, more timid, shy, and responsible than the rest of the crew.

    Bobby highlights a trait that we see with most central characters… a duality of personality. At one moment he can be a kind, soft spoken gentlemen who never took a goombah. The next moment, he is a cold, selfish, murderer who does not worry about the affects of his actions on others, willing to utilize pain and violence to accomplish his means.

    Steve Schirripa was terribly annoying in “Talking Sopranos.” Every single time that Michael Imperioli tried to make serious comments, or tried to consider the deeper meanings of the show, Schirripa would cut him off and make a ridiculous joke or claim that he shouldn’t take the show so seriously.

    idea for video: something i think goes unexplored is that chris is surprisingly effective at being intimidating when he snaps. there are several occasions where he does some legitimately badass stuff. like snatching the fork and threatening Arties eye, grabbing the paint brush shoving it in the one guys nose. i know there are a few more where he actually handles himself in a menacing way. just kind of a fun little detail i keep catching on rewatches. he has some genuine instinct when he’s not high

    Enjoyed this one. I like your longer analyses. For me, the scene where Bobby kills the innocent drummer guy in the laundrette is pretty powerful. He sold his soul when he shot the incapacitated guy in the head. We don't care about the fate of Chrissy, Tony etc. because they're such despicable human beings. But watching a nice guy like Bobby go over to the dark side is different.

    Thank you for your videos, I’m really enjoying them. I’ve always liked Bobby. He was one of my favorite characters on the show. I never looked at him as weak or anything. And yes mafia member is kill people but you’re also not supposed to go off the reservation and start whacking People without the order. It’s not Bobby‘s fault that junior or Tony never asked him to do a hit until season six. Hell we even saw him volunteered to do one a couple seasons earlier. He’s actually the guy that does follow all the rules and is very old-school. There are some things and I don’t know if it’s a continuity issue with the show that I’ve always been confused about Bobby. When he’s promoted in season, three or four, they kind of make it out like he’s already the captain of juniors crew. I mean he was already a maid guy, what was the promotion? if you’re a maid guy and you get a promotion doesn’t that make you captain? I mean his next promotion, after that was too underboss, so I was really confused why Janice said “to be his age and not be a captain?”
