The Sopranos aired on HBO from 1999 to 2007 and became one of the most quoted shows in television history, with its blunt New Jersey dialogue living on through clips and memes. Short put-downs from the series circulate widely on soundboards, where they are used the same way as other dismissive meme sounds like shut up mom or confrontational reactions like you what. Because the show's attitude is so recognizable, even a five-second line works as an instant punchline, and the clip keeps getting reused in edits, streams and group chats years after the finale.
