For fans of The Sopranos, watching the iconic HBO show isn’t just about being entertained by the mafia drama. It’s practically a lifestyle. So, grab your cannoli and sit back as we count down the top 5 things every Sopranos fan does.
1. They Quote the Show… Constantly
If you’ve ever spent five minutes around a Sopranos fan, you’ve probably heard someone say, “It’s not personal, it’s business,” or “Fuhgeddaboudit!” It’s almost like they think they’re a made guy. Whether you’re talking about breakfast or business deals, a Sopranos fan will find a way to slip in some Tony wisdom. Bonus points if they do it with that perfect New Jersey accent!
2. They Become Armchair Psychiatrists
Dr. Melfi isn’t the only one trying to psychoanalyze Tony Soprano. Watch out! Every Sopranos fan is ready to give their take on the deep psychological underpinnings of Tony’s dreams, panic attacks, and yes, his mother issues. They’ll tell you what the ducks represent like they have a PhD in mobster therapy.
3. They Have Strong Opinions on the Final Episode
The ending of The Sopranos is like the blue dress/white dress of TV finales. Did Tony die or not? If you’re talking to a true Sopranos fan, be ready for a passionate, probably unsolicited, analysis of that infamous cut-to-black moment. Some fans will swear up and down they’ve found clues no one else noticed. Others are just waiting for a spin-off or a second shot at that onion ring.
4. They Pick Their Mafia Name
Let’s be real. Deep down, every Sopranos fan has dreamt of having a mafia nickname. Whether it’s Johnny Two-Times or Sal the Salad (don’t ask), they’ve thought long and hard about what they’d be called if they were “in the family.” You know, for when they finally get that imaginary call to join Tony’s crew.
5. They Can’t Eat Without Thinking About the Show
Italian food isn’t just food anymore. To Sopranos fans, it’s sacred. They can’t order a plate of pasta without comparing it to Carmela’s baked ziti. Heaven forbid if they eat at a diner! Every time that “Don’t Stop Believin’” comes on, they get a little nervous reaching for the ketchup. (Look over your shoulder, just in case.)
So there you have it, the top 5 things Sopranos fans do. If you see someone quoting the show while obsessively analyzing the ending over a plate of ziti, chances are they’re a diehard fan. Remember, if you’re going to argue with them about Tony’s fate, just be careful. It’s nothing personal. Bada bing!
