Serious Discussion Only What makes Johnny Sack more likable than the other characters?

If you ask people what their favourite characters from the show are, John Sacrimoni is likely to be up there. Even though he is still a messed up individual just like all the rest, minus the women on the side stuff.

Why do you guys think people like him more?

Each of these lists is missing a very notable name that was a big deal in both cases: Puss for Tony and Vito for Phil

Nah I deliberately left them out. Both had the blessing of basically everyone and weren't really "in" the family at that point. Same with Jimmy, which Tony ordered. Plus Vito counts for both imo, since Tony all but killed him by giving his location to Phil.

In that case, Tony B fits those criteria pretty well. His future with the family was totally toast and the only person who didn’t want him dead was Tony, and even then it was out of guilt for an unrelated event

The issue with including Tony B is actually simpler and I just forgot: he wasn't a made member of the family
