“Women, women, women, why wasn’t I born rich instead of handsome?”

What are your thoughts about the iconic character of Ralph Cifaretto. Let me know down below! 👇🏻

I love how Ralph left Rosalie during her time of need but she still showed up for him when his son was in the hospital. He never deserved that woman.

What’s great about Ralph throughout the series is your thinking just kill him, hurry up and kill him and then when it finally happens it’s like, wait! You killed him!?!?!?

[yodaisgod]

Paulie: You're late!
Ralph: Well, tomorrow I can be on time, but you'll be stupid forever.

[aaronrowell]

What's funny is that Ralph is basically all the others mobsters with no filter, he had to remind them of themselves.
Silvio roughs up Traci
Tony beats Georgie and hates authority
Paulie plays telephone and gets petty

Ralph just takes it to far

The character of Ralph Cifaretto was really well cast. He created a more simple dilemma to Tony compared to the other antagonists throughout the series, ultimately forcing Tony to choose peace of mind over the money Ralph earned. I think this show stands the test of time better than all others from TV's golden era because of the casting.

[Heyitskrystal]

The irony is I sat next to the guy who plays Ralph once and he was one of the kindest, purest human beings I’ve ever met.

[dmartig]

Ralph making fun of Vito's brother as he lie unconscious in a hospital bed after getting brained by a golf club was when I knew he would eventually get murdered by Tony

[lproof]

Joe pantoliano said that Ralphie wasn’t a character you loved to hate, but a character you hated to love. And he’s right.

[Edoric]

I feel like during their argument, Tony was about to let it go since Ralph vehemently denied killing Pie-O-My, but then he had to go and say, "you eat beef and sausage by the car load..." And that sent Tony over the edge. Tony knew he was gonna get a nice cut of that insurance money on the horse and stable, but Ralph just couldn't keep his mouth shut and insulted Tony's weight.

[fogdiver]

Little known fact, Ralph actually survived the kitchen fight, joined the witness protection program, and took on the name Teddy. Then he died or whatever in Memento, this was a poorly planned joke

[WordUnheard]

The scene in which Ralph beats the woman to death was so savage, that it bothers me to even think about more than two decades later. I only wish Ralph had suffered a more horrific and painful death.

[ChatterboxFM]

Shoulda been born rich, then nothin bad woulda happened to him.

[clintbrothers]

Best line of the series:
" tommorow I can be on time-but you'll be stupid forever."

[rickykeim]

I think Tony Really Hated Ralph because on top of everything he did He was also the Guy most likely to remind Tony of His Hypocrisy and throw His own Behavior in his Face. Nobody else really did that as often as Ralph did. I mean Silvio Checked Tony when it was needed but was a lot more Classy and Respectful about it. It was also part of His Job.

[craighembree]

I always thought it was funny that the two guys with the most deranged sexual habits both gravitated to Janice.

[nathanfallin]

So genius to have Tony kill him at his most sympathetic point and for the worst reason. Doesn’t let his death feel righteous justice.

[joeyjo-joshabadu]

Pretty sure Ralph was dating Rosalie Aprile BEFORE he was dating Janice

[brianbelden]

Ralphie picking on Paulie is some of the best comedy ever. Even if it was meant to be a drama. Ralphie prank calling Paulies Aunt never gets old.

[Caun-]

I found him to be an easy to dislike sociopath, not endearing, so they nailed it if that's what they were going for.
