Has anyone seen this before? This randomly popped up on X. From the posts below this one, some said it was a commercial for The Sopranos for Israeli satellite TV. Funny commercial, and good life advice!



Maybe people knew this, but Gandolfini was a bouncer at Ryans? He also went to the Court Tavern after a 2004 football game.

And there was this classic commercial.

I never saw this commercial until it popped up on Twitter the other day. Great commercial.

There were 2. This one and one in the stadium with a couple of his friends from his college days. One is/was a member of this board.

Both were directed by Michael Imperioli (Christopher Molisanti in The Sopranos).

This video has inspired me to soon pay a visit to my dentist.
His office is next door to Richie Aprile's office on Kearny Avenue.
BTW-Do you know why Richie Aprile couldn't use an aluminum bat to throw at Matt Bevilaqua?
It was on WOODland Avenue.

An incredible character and amazing performance by the actor who played him.

Remember he had a sideline pass and would walk around and stare at the opposing team as they warmed up. Always wondered what their reaction was.

There's actually a compilation of the Best of Richie Aprile on YouTube, but I thought I may violate board guidelines by sharing all of it.

Good video clips. He was a good sport for doing this. Iā€™m guessing his friend encouraged him a bit (or was that the story at the time?)

I used to see him at football games with his son sitting on his shoulders. They used to sit up in the bleachers.
