A meme curator on Twitter mashed a clip of Tony from The Sopranos alongside Fallout: New Vegas, showing the character escaping a Deathclaw.
In a meme shared on Twitter, Fallout: New Vegas fans can get a kick out of watching Tony from The Sopranos deed from a Deathclaw. The Deathclaw may be a well-known apex predator within the Fallout titles, its name appropriate for its massive claws. A couple of swipes can easily pan a player apart, and therefore the sheer size of the creature is frightening enough on its own.
Though Fallout: New Vegas is one of the older Fallout titles, it’s still beloved by Fallout fans. Like all the Fallout titles, players can explore a post-apocalyptic landscape ridden with creatures molded by radiation. The overarching themes in Fallout games subside to a world reshaped by nuclear warfare. This is not the primary meme to return from Fallout fans either, as a lover recently mocked Fallout: New Vegas’ recommended pathing with a Futurama meme.
The meme curator for this artful piece was IGotSilver, having shared their edit on Twitter with the title “Escaping a Deathclaw in Fallout: New Vegas.” Fans of both Fallout and the Sopranos can laugh together as they watch a panicked Tony running first from a Deathclaw, then from Cazadores, another of Fallout’s grotesque enemies. Not only this, but the editor even gave Tony his very own Pipboy when he goes to see his watch.

This isn’t the primary time a Soprano’s edit like this has been made, as another commenter shared one that takes place in Skyrim. There, Tony runs far away from a dragon rather than a Deathclaw. Putting a personality like Tony Soprano into these worlds has brought fans laughter and joy, especially when the curator edits the footage so that it is sensible. The clip created by IGotSilver has details that make it appear as if the characters are meant to be there, that it’s some special episode, or that they’re within the game itself.
Bringing The Sopranos into the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout: New Vegas was an entertaining and artistic combination that brought the quick tweet popularity. IGotSilver has met praise and laughter alike because the tweet has garnered 54.3K likes and nearly 15k retweets thus far. Diligence pays off, especially when spreading humor during a world that needs more of it.
