This video contains all references to “Goodfellas” in “The Sopranos” that I could find, both from characters and directors. David Chase, the creator of The Sopranos, has called Goodfellas his Qur’an, noting that it had a major impact on the show.

Despite that, this video has far fewer references than a recent video of mine pointing out all The Godfather references in The Sopranos. This isn’t surprising, however, as The Godfather gives a more romanticized view of mafia life than Goodfellas, and so it makes sense that characters would reference it more. (The Godfather also had a significant influence on actual mobsters).

I’m sure I missed some references, so do let me know if that’s the case.
The clips are in chronological order, and are taken from the following 6 episodes:

*Season 1*: The Sopranos; The Legend of Tennessee Moltisanti.

*Season 2*: Big Girls Don’t Cry.

*Season 3*: Fortunate Son.

*Season 4*: Mergers and Acquisitions.

*Season 5*: Long Term Parking.
