The Bunk is strictly a suit and tie muthafuka.

Jeezus that was fun.

Starts with Omar, ends with Omar and a montage of "Shiiiiiiiiat" from Clay Davis at the 8:40 mark. Pretty fair complilation.

That was fantastic

Not a fan of the video, but this is a bookmark.

ohhh inndeeeed!

goddamn that was a brilliant show.

I would need a translator to enjoy 70% of that. Seriously.

/live in Amish country. whiter than the whitest white you ever whited

i enjoyed

My favorite that's not in the clip:

"One more thing: price of the brick goin' up." (Marlo)

Snoop at the hardware store FTW.

Six-Wings: My favorite that's not in the clip:

The problem with that quote, and some that are in the video itself, is that the larger context is needed. The entire scene is almost necessary.

In the same vein, I wish "You must have me mistaken for someone who asks twice" was in there.

Sgt. Jay Landsman: For you I would suggest some pantsuits, perhaps muted in color, something to offset Detective Moreland's pinstripe lawyerly affectations and the brash tweedy impertinence of Detective Freamon. Rawls is watching on this one, let's at least pretend like we got a farking clue.

Freamon: Tweedy impertinence? I like that.

/could do this all day

Amen to that. Worth my money for the DVD's and then some.

Truly amazing.

Great video. I actually can't believe they missed this one:

McNulty: You know why I respect you so much, Bunk?
Bunk Moreland: Mm-mmm.
McNulty: It's not 'cause you're good police, 'cause, y'know, fark that, right?
Bunk Moreland: Mm. fark that, yeah.
McNulty: It's not 'cause when I came to homicide, you taught me all kinds of cool shiat about . . . well, whatever.
Bunk Moreland: Mm. Whatever.
McNulty: It's 'cause when it came time for you to fark me . . . you were very gentle.
Bunk Moreland: You damn right.
McNulty: See, 'cause you could have hauled me out of the garage and just bent me over the hood of a radio car, and . . . no, you were, you were very gentle.
Bunk Moreland: I knew it was your first time. I wanted to make that shiat special.
McNulty: It was, man. It farking was.

"I'm just a humble motherfarker with a big ass dick."

God I love my City. I truly do.

Really? You forgot education? Season 4 was the best season of television of all time, IMHO.

In general, the show is about institutions, and how those institutions change people and lead them down certain tracks, whether they wanted to or not.

The Mayor came in legitimately wanting to improve Baltimore, but ended up cooking the crime books nonetheless. The kids wanted more from their lives than working corners and lives of crime, but that's where they ended up nonetheless. I once read something from David Simon where he stressed the importance of the railroad lines that Bunk and McNulty were always hanging out.

From that, I inferred that the overarching message of "The Wire" is that the real tragedy of corrupt American cities is that they "railroad" people into certain paths, whether they want that or not.

/Also, the show is about drugs.

Prosecutor: Mr. Little, how does a man rob drug dealers for eight or nine years and live to tell about it?
Omar: Day at a time I suppose?

As much as I liked Omar, I got so I really admired Smooth Lester Freamon -

Freamon: What did he call Cole?
Bunk: Collateral damage.
Freamon: I'm feelin' pretty damn collateral myself, I gotta say.

/ain't no TV like that nowadays

fark PREZBO

no lake, no trout.

I'm gonna go ahead and nominate the "Chess" monolog as one of the most gawk-worthy moments of TV I've seen in the past.... well, ever.

Was waiting for

"How my hair look, Mike?"

"It look good girl"

"C'mon, we're just goin' to Hamsterdam!"

"What -- THE F*CK -- is Hamsterdam?!"

/or something like that
//can't watch the video

Fail, no "And the funny thing is, I'm not even Greek".

/or whatever the exact quote is, damn that was a great show.

"There you go, always givin' a fark when it ain't your turn."

No "you want it to be one way... but it's the other way"?

Any of Landsmens testimonials at the wakes would qualify as among the best, just too long to fit. I got tears in my eye from sentiment and laughter at every one.

You come at the king, you best not miss

/Omar comin'

Also

Lester: "A life Jimmy, you know what that is? Its the shiat that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come"

So, they were talking about parenting, right? So much passion for raising children. It's truly impressive.

What a bunch of poser wannabe dogshiate.

'A good church-going man is always up in everybody's shiate.'

Pretty good.

Never saw but will.

HOWEVER, it strikes me as 'Homocide: Life on the Streets' with cursing.

Really?
Wow.
Now I have to see it.
There was a H:LotS where a guy fell on to the subway tracks and had his entire lower half twisted in a 180 and the way every one dealt with it made for gripping TV.

Based on a true story, too.

This probably should have been the very last scene of the entire series, because somehow it seems to just wrap everything up perfectly:

And with that post, you demonstrated your own ignorance.

Yup. That episode won an Emmy for Andre Braugher.

The writer of that ep saw an episode of "Taxicab Confessions" where someone (either an off duty cop or firefighter) gets asked by the driver what their worst call was. The reply was a guy who'd fallen in between a subway car and platform who lived a short time.

The actor who played the victim in "Homicide" was Vincent D'Onofrio (Pvt. Pyle in Full Metal Jacket) who later played Det. Goren in "Law & Order: Criminal Intent".

I thought Snoop was a dude, at least for a few episodes.

The entire "fark" scene between Bunk and McNulty is absent.
