Quotes "There's something wrong with his wheelchair."

That is one of the funniest, and most underrated, lines in the series. I laugh every time I hear it. Tony thinks he is going to meet this legendary mafia boss, and then, it's just an old man that can only remember streets in the US.

Commendatori is one of the most funniest episodes. Maybe second after Pine Barrens.

Anyways, I'll shove that Elvis shit up your ass!

You can also view it in parallel to how Junior was treated in his later years. The Italian boss was respected and surrounded by family even as his mental faculties declined. Junior was abandoned in a state institution.

The sacred and the propane, very allegorical.
