** In general, he fits this trope best where his sobriety is concerned. His addictions, naturally, cause a lot of pain, most infamously when he kills Adriana's dog. But those around him constantly mock him and accuse him of being a wet blanket when he isn't drinking or using.

* Carmela. [[spoiler:Most of the time (due to Tony’s philandering, among other reasons), but particularly in Season 5, where she’s separated from Tony and constantly blamed, berated, and generally pushed to the breaking point by an adolescent and abusive A.J.]]
* Bobby Baccala. Nobody else compares. [[spoiler:Father killed off one season, his wife the next. And then he ''married Janice.'' Poor bastard. And then Tony goads him into punching Tony in the mouth. Then Tony forces Bobby (who is not AxCrazy like his comrades) to commit a murder as a punishment.

Almost all the main cast qualify at one point or another, but Tony and especially Paulie exemplify this. However, as the series progresses, their shadier actions start to outweigh their sympathetic qualities. Even Bobby Baccala proves from time to time that even if it isn't his normal personality, he can [[PunchClockVillain put on a very frightening persona. Ask a union rep who crossed Junior at one point.]]
* Uncle Jr, especially in the final season.
* Vito. He's a slimy, maneuvering worm, but some part of you just wants him to [[spoiler:stay in New Hampshire and marry NiceGuy Johnnycakes.]]
* Adriana. Almost a ButtMonkey, but you'd have to be a cold bastard not to feel some sympathy for her...or a member of the mob.
