The Best Of Paulie Walnuts (A Video Collection Of Arguably The Funniest Character On The Sopranos)

Paul Gualtieri…you may know him as Paulie Walnuts…but I know him as the greatest mobster-comedian of all time. Honestly…when watching The Sopranos…no one would make me laugh quite like Paulie. …

Paul Gualtieri...you may know him as Paulie Walnuts...but I know him as the greatest mobster-comedian of all time.

Honestly...when watching The Sopranos...no one would make me laugh quite like Paulie.   Sometimes it was on purpose...sometime he was hysterical by accident.

Paulie loved a good one-liner a la Henny Youngman (see his Titanic/Viagra joke)...but also enjoyed observational humor similar to Jerry Seinfeld (see his "shoe-laces have pee on them" bit).

Here's to you, Paulie!   You're the Rodney Dangerfield of Organized Crime...only I'm giving you respect!   See the video highlights of Paulie below!
