About

Artie Pointing a Gun, also known as Go Ahead, Post Another "Take", is a series of memes based on an image of The Sopranos character Artie Bucco (John Ventimiglia) pointing a gun captioned with a rant about hot takes that label things generally considered positive as discriminatory. Spawned by a viral tweet in 2020, the format achieved widespread prevalence online in 2022.

Origin

On March 7th, 1999, episode nine "Boca" of the crime drama television series The Sopranos premiered.[1] In the episode, the character Artie Bucco, who suspects the main character Tony Soprano of burning down his restaurant, pulls a rifle on him and accuses him.



Don't say she's lying, Ton, because why would she?! Don't make it worse. Do me the respect of not treating me like a fucking idiot piece of shit!

On August 10th, 2020, Twitter[2] user @uncledoomer captioned the image with a rant daring a person to post another "take" labeling something generally considered a positive thing as discriminatory. The post (shown below) gained over 1,900 retweets and 11,000 likes in two years.
