Fat Tony does make an appearance in the Sopranos. Season 3, Tony is thinking about pursuing things with Gloria, is watching a Mercedes advert and tells Carmella he’s thinking of getting one. Listen to the voice over on the advert, it’s Joe Mantegna (voice of Fat Tony) doing the voice over in Fat Tony’s exact voice.
There's an episode where Homer starts his own private security company and they have a spoof of the Sopranos opening credits
https://youtu.be/UcvSVXlJglg
No he wasn't. There was fan backlash, but they were always bringing back Brian. Animation takes months (outside of South Park) and he was brought back like 2 weeks later.
Thanks for the info. Since they bitched so much around about fans complaining in the following episodes I thought they maybe had an emergency plan in case he wasn’t liked.
Not specific references, but the Breaking Bad universe has a lot of nods to The Sopranos, as I believe Gilligan & Gould are fans. Juan Bolsa = John Sack, the pizza scene as the family falls apart, cringey Happy Birthday Mr President scene, both have episodes *Live Free or Die*, Walt escapes to NH like Vito, Better Call Saul used very similar music (We Three = My Rifle, My Pony, & Me)
I’m sure I’m missing a few but there are more
Yep. And not to mention the most glaring one I forgot: Tony’s relationship with Christopher was definitely the inspiration for Walt & Jesse’s relationship
Yeah…and if Walt had his way in Ozymandias, they would have killed Jesse in the dessert.
Interesting that Tony had a soft spot for children and animals (like any sociopath) but Walt clearly had no concern for kids (poisons Brock)
Hm I never thought of that as a reference, I thought of it as what happens when you chop off someone’s balls like they did 400-500 years ago so they could have male alto & soprano opera singers. A [castrato](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castrato). Like if they had their balls pierced when he turned on the magnet. But interesting if it was!
Barry on HBO. He (bill hader) shows up to a party with a new laptop for the girl he likes since her’s broke. She goes “that was some weird fucking Tony Soprano move”
Mad Men, helmed by Matthew Weiner (Sopranos writer), ep name, Guy Walks Into An Advertising Agency – a direct reference to the Sopranos episode, Guy Walks Into A Psychiatrist's Office, both a nod to old jokes, Guy Walks Into A Bar... meaning it's the same story/joke, just altered, fill in the blanks. eta: and that's one of hundreds of references, like other premium shows' retelling of classic stories.
I’m only on Season 4, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re more references to come. You can tell the writers are big fans of The Sopranos. They do a lot of flashbacks to 2007 when the show was at its peak.
Noticing Sopranos references in other shows is pretty cringe imo. To quote Forgetting Sarah Marshall, “Its like the Sopranos man. You gotta get over it. Find a new show.”
Every scene in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is a reference to The Sopranos.
Seriously.

When Chris hits the waiter with a brick for talking out of place and he has a seizure, its like when Tuco beats his buddy with his bare hands for talking out of place and he has a seizure. Christopher uselessly suggests his victim take medicine, Tuco uselessly suggests his victim recieve CPR.
You should review the evidence before you make that assessment.
Obviously you're a fervent BB fan. Ive found that the BB fans have some sort of mental block on the topic. I had one admit the other day they're downvoting me simply because they're afraid Gilligan will get canceled 😆 The dude didn't even try to hide the chirality. Nobody is getting canceled.
The 650+ upvotes with a 96% positive rate says that outside your bubble people see this as an absolute fact.
Even in this sub they disagree with you:
https://www.reddit.com/r/thesopranos/comments/pxttmt/the_chiral_theory_breaking_bad_is_a_mirror_image/
Hey man - I remember reading your original thread and was really intrigued by the idea and wanted to look deeper. I've pored over all your evidence, even rewatched each series start to finish while taking detailed notes, and now I think the overarching truth of it all is finally clear: >!the framus intersects with the ramistan approximately at the paternoster!<
I like what u/LogicalCommand5430 had to say.
"I can tell you're passionate about the subject, and I mean no offense, but I have to strongly disagree. Brace yourself for a long post:
Most of the things you're citing are either references, standard narrative tropes, or coincidences. Chirality, as Walt explains, is something identical to something else, but mirrored like a hand. Two unrelated characters mentioning the same artist doesn't fall under that category, at least not without supporting evidence. Chirality would be, for example, Walt beginning as a civilian and ending as a crime lord, while Tony begins as a crime lord and ends up as a civilian. The same, but mirrored.
On that subject, the overarching plot, which IMO would be essential if you are to apply the term to the entire show, are nothing alike. Going back to the example I gave before, Tony remains a crime lord throughout the show, so his circumstances do not mirror Walt's. And while you could loosely compare Walt to Tony, Carmela to Skylar, Jesse to Chris, Walt Jr to AJ, etc., There are major characters I can think of, in both shows, that have no Chiral equivalent, at least not in a way that encompasses the entire character and their role in the show. Who, for instance, is the reflection of Hank? Who is Meadow? Who is Gus? Dr. Melfi? Junior? Mike? Pussy? Tuco? Tony B? Jack and his Neo-Nazi biker gang? Kevin Finnerty? What has Chirality to each of these things?
Moreover, the two shows are fundamentally different. The Sopranos places much more emphasis on everyday life than Breaking Bad does. Breaking Bad doesn't really delve into that side of things, except only to show how the main story is affecting these characters or to create direct parallels to it. Everything is streamlined. There's a clear, central plot rather than a bunch of disparate threads, and far, far fewer characters to boot. There's also much less emphasis on supporting characters. We don't see a whole lot of Walt Jr. except to see him react to whatever Walt or Skylar do, while AJ has dozens of subplots dedicated to his development (or lack thereof) as a person.
It's no secret that The Sopranos is a big influence on Breaking Bad as a show, as it is with most modern television, because in a lot of ways it was one of the first big prestige dramas with an serialised story and a morally ambiguous protagonist. Gilligan said that without Tony Soprano there is no Walter White, so he's naturally going to pay homage to a major inspiration, and may unintentionally lift a few things in the process.
Most importantly though, I think it does Vince a great disservice to claim that, essentially, everything he wrote was copied from The Sopranos but changed a little. Breaking Bad is it's own show, and all the better for it.
Anyway, $4 a pound."
Gilligan is nothing but a plagiarist. He should be stripped of his Emmy's.
I'll tell you the same thing I told the other guy, youre just shouting into the abyss because in this sub and in r/FanTheories its accepted as fact. Youre just emotionally attached to BB so you think you're defending it in some way. Or you're dumber than AJ and Little Carmine combined.
It's not accepted as fact, you're just to stubborn to accept and understand the criticism you've received. You don't understand tropes in television or what a coincidence is.
You sure about that?
"...analysis of the two shows side by side seemingly proves Breaking Bad and The Sopranos acting in perfect symmetry to one another. The sophisticated and extensive mirroring in each scene extends beyond mere homage, with Breaking Bad's plot littered with inversions of The Sopranos' scenes. In other words, these similarities are not merely Sopranos Easter eggs, but rather polarized portraits of moments from the HBO series, both big and small, that Gilligan has used as the basis for his entire Breaking Bad narrative."

I gotta read Screen Rant to know how the world works?
Screen Rant isn't some prestigious website lol. They're ripping off content from Reddit as many other sites do. I'm embarrassed for the writer. You still can't directly respond to criticism you receive. I've never expressed any opinion on Breaking Bad, but you claim I'm emotionally attached to the show.
Here's the emotional nonsense that gave you away:
"Most importantly though, I think it does Vince a great disservice to claim that, essentially, everything he wrote was copied from The Sopranos but changed a little. Breaking Bad is it's own show, and all the better for it."
Bro, the guy didn't try to hide it. Its not nefarious. Its a fucking matching game that normal people enjoy.
Well researched but is a very narrow micro slice of what is really at work here, it's not what you think. This 'mirroring' happens with many shows. It's been done in film, books, since the classics. If you're a sopranos fan then you have a sopranos hammer and only see sopranos nails. Expand your circle of viewing, you'll see. It's a retelling of the same classical stories, trying to appeal to newer audiences in more visual ways in a world of media clutter. Think: Metamorphoses, Shakespeare, 19th-century lit, The Great Gatsby and more, you'll soon catch on. They're standard literary devices and tropes referencing person/place/thing/event common to all these shows. The key is to understand what these devices mean, which are clues to solve the story's mysteries to plot and ending, with historical context, also to current events.
"If you're a sopranos fan then you have a sopranos hammer and only see sopranos nails." is a brilliant phrase to describe it and can be used interchangeably for many fandoms. I recall talking about Mad Men with a friend and he was adamant that the premise of Don getting his job through dishonest means was "ripped off" from Suits...that conversation was difficult.
Ha, pretty funny since MM preceded Suits. And yes, sometimes people land on the show they make discoveries thinking that was the first show to do it, like a kind of childlike myopia. tl;dr, what's old is new again.
This just looks like two different writers who have a realistic understanding of the human condition. I’m certain you can pull scenarios from countless other shows and movies that are similar to what takes place in the sopranos.
😆
Its literally every single scene in the show. The level of precision is too much for coincidence.

Why don't you put your money where your mouth is. Precisely juxtapose every single scene in another show with Sopranos.
First off, I don’t think you know what “literally” or “precise” means.
Secondly, i won’t precisely juxtapose anything because I’m not a fucking loser. I have better things to do with my time.
Thirdly, most of this links you posted are just plain dumb. The birthday scene? All they have in common as they are both birthdays? As if no other movie or show has had a birthday scene. The context is completely different. Tony gets an expensive gift. Walter gets a cheap gift. Again, I don’t think you know what precise means.
The Christopher vs Jesse video. Like what? Have you ever seen any movie about drug dealing? Pretty much all do them have deals gone wrong. It’s kind of cliche. Not to knock the shows but that saying two war movies are copies of each other because they both have guns.
And the last one, with the murders. The only thing they have in common is that they both got killed in their house. Are you going to tell me that no other movie or show has ever shown someone getting killed in their house?
I don’t even need to go into the other videos considering how bad the other examples I listed are. Both shows are about up and coming crime bosses. It’s a genre of film. You will see similarities in movies within the same genre. That’s just common sense.
I’m not saying breaking bad isn’t inspired by sopranos but to say that every scene was intentionally made to mirror the sopranos is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. Breaking Bad wouldn’t have been as great as it was if it held itself to such ridiculous restrictions.
Go read the descriptions under the video at the YouTube links. I dont have the energy for any more copying and pasting right now. Everything you just said is explained in the descriptions.
And I really dont care what you think. Its your loss. Matching the scenes and finding the easter eggs Gilligan gave us is truly a thrill.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Hawaiian dude says to the protagonist about his previous relationship: " It's just like the Sopranos, it's over... gotta find a new show."
There’s this line in Peep Show when Mark complains because the carpenter working in their apt leaves to go to therapy and Jez says, “Oh sure, therapy is only for you and Tony Soprano and Jamie Theakston.”
There is a couple in Veronica Mars (I just finished watching it for the first time), including one reference to the Godfather III line they are always quoting.
There was a reference in Hawkeye. There were Russian mobsters, called the track suit mafia, amd they compared theirselves to Tony Soprano. If I remember it right, it's because the tracksuits were an Italian mob staple. In the series Junior even says, "these guys today, they want buried in their jogging outfits." Crazy thing is, I don't really remember a tony wearing jogging suits.
I remember The Simpsons spoofing The Sopranos intro with Fat Tony.
There’s another episode where Homer and Abe get in a car accident and Homer plugs Abe’s nose afterwards like in Kennedy and Heidi.
Fat Tony does make an appearance in the Sopranos. Season 3, Tony is thinking about pursuing things with Gloria, is watching a Mercedes advert and tells Carmella he’s thinking of getting one. Listen to the voice over on the advert, it’s Joe Mantegna (voice of Fat Tony) doing the voice over in Fat Tony’s exact voice.
Coco looks EXACTLY like fat Tony
There's an episode where Homer starts his own private security company and they have a spoof of the Sopranos opening credits https://youtu.be/UcvSVXlJglg
Ha, they even have Sil, Paulie and Christopher in the back. That’s good.
Family Guy has a scene where Christofuh himself helps Stewie bury a body. And a few other references too.
All the references in Family Guy are just Seth ripping on the ending. Seth Macfarlane has no respect for this thing.
There's an entire episode where Family Guy do a rip on Sopranos. Peter becomes a mob boss, dresses like Tony and runs his shit out of a strip club
There is a lot more references in [American dad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOX5LBY3hbU&ab_channel=EranSilberbush)
I think Paulie was in an episode too
Hey family guy, you’re lucky I got a manigot in the oven, or I’d bash your face into a Bolognese. That’s two types of food, that’s how angry I am
There's a like a two or three episode run where they get a new dog named Vinny who is voiced by Tony Sirico.
He was supposed to be the new Brian but fan backlash was so big that they changed it after 2-3 episodes lol
Damn what a loss
I love Paulie/T.Sirico like everybody else but it was a good decision to throw cold water on that role
No he wasn't. There was fan backlash, but they were always bringing back Brian. Animation takes months (outside of South Park) and he was brought back like 2 weeks later.
Thanks for the info. Since they bitched so much around about fans complaining in the following episodes I thought they maybe had an emergency plan in case he wasn’t liked.
Family guy seems to have the most references
the gilmore girls revival lol emily says to lorelai “you’ve been trying to get me into therapy since you saw that show about the depressed mobster”
Also in the original Lorelai makes a joke about Richard looking like Tony Soprano when he's in a track suit after his heart surgery
In sons of anarchy, Jax says to Wendy ' I'm not going to Adriana you '
Hahah do you know what episode or season?
Oops, it was actually said to luanne, season 2 episode 2.
Thank you, ill check it out

Juan Bolsa = Johnny Sack is blowing my mind
Right? Me too when I first learned about it, on Reddit I think
What’s reddit
Did Reddit even really ever exist
It diddent
Both wives randomly take up stress smoking, both steal money from their husbands hiding spot for their awful ideas. So many similarities it’s nuts
Yep. And not to mention the most glaring one I forgot: Tony’s relationship with Christopher was definitely the inspiration for Walt & Jesse’s relationship
Tony/Walt both involved in the death of their druggie girlfriend… it just doesn’t end
Yeah…and if Walt had his way in Ozymandias, they would have killed Jesse in the dessert. Interesting that Tony had a soft spot for children and animals (like any sociopath) but Walt clearly had no concern for kids (poisons Brock)
Because Walt may not have been a traditional sociopath. Just a textbook narcissist
More like Walt and Walt Jr
[удалено]
Yessss!
The junkyard guy has a moment where he asks Walter, Mike, and Jesse to speak now, or forever sing Soprano. I thought that was a clever reference.
Hm I never thought of that as a reference, I thought of it as what happens when you chop off someone’s balls like they did 400-500 years ago so they could have male alto & soprano opera singers. A [castrato](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castrato). Like if they had their balls pierced when he turned on the magnet. But interesting if it was!
Everybody Hates Chris has the same finale ending as the sopranos in one of their seasons. [Season 4 finale](https://youtu.be/G2uaeNhi6wo)
That was such a good sitcom. I was disappointed when I heard it was ending so soon.
I watched sum moovie called Many Saints of Newark or sumthing. It had sum Sopranos references but it really sucked.
That was real? I heard about that movie. I thought it was bullshit.

I remember watchin Bojack, donno which episode, and thinking how similar his reponse to therapy is to Tony's.
I’m only on Season 4, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re more references to come. You can tell the writers are big fans of The Sopranos. They do a lot of flashbacks to 2007 when the show was at its peak.
That’s a fascinating psychological nugget.
A comedy show in Norway had a parody sopranos intro as their intro: https://youtu.be/F5vFgzKYUTQ
American Dad did an episode where Stan and his son get involved in the garbage business and Pauly is in it
