Pine Barrens + "The Sopranos" = Hilarious

For those of you who've never seen "The Sopranos" before and you want to see what the buzz is about, be sure to check out the "Pine Barrens" episode (episode 37, season 3). The episode was directed by Steve Buscemi and won a WGA Award for outstanding achievement in television writing. The episode is both funny and brilliant and you can currently catch it on "HBO On Demand". Here's a synopsis of one of the funniest scenes from TelevisionWithoutPity.com:

Cut back to the Pine Barrens, with Paulie answering his cell phone once again. Tony explains that he's going to talk fast, and relates that Drunk Guy once killed sixteen Chechens with his bare hands. He was some sort of Russian "Green Beret" commando with the Interior Ministry (read: KGB, or FSB, or whatever they're calling it these days). Tony is emphatic: "This guy cannot come back to tell his story, okay?" That much Paulie did hear.

The connection gets broken, and just like in every game of telephone you ever played as a child, the story gets a little twisted when Paulie passes it along to Christopher. "You’re not going to believe this. The guy killed sixteen Czechoslovakians. He was an interior decorator." Chris is more than a little confused by this, saying, "His house looked like shit." Yeah, but I so want that universal remote. I have to hit like seventeen buttons just to turn on the damn VCR.

So if you only watch one episode of "The Sopranos" in your life, make sure it's this one.
