It was just a fuckin joke
>>216052184I believe him. I often go out and do the same thing, but it’s just a bit. It’s a gag.
It’s just banter
>>216052184Realistically is there anything he could have said / done to get out of this?
When Vito is confronted by the other mobsters about his behavior, he tries to downplay the situation by claiming that he was "just joking" and that it was a one-time thing, not something serious. Essentially, he frames his visit to the gay bar as a bit of harmless fun, even though it's clear to the audience and, in some sense, to him as well, that it's a reflection of deeper confusion or a latent part of his identity.The joke here is layered. It plays into the mob culture's strict codes of masculinity, where anything perceived as "weak" or "effeminate" (like being gay or anything that challenges traditional gender roles) is met with ridicule or even violence. So, by claiming it was a "joke," Vito is trying to minimize the risk of being ostracized or targeted by the other men in his crew. In this context, the "joke" becomes a form of denial—a defense mechanism to avoid the real consequences of his actions and desires.The irony, of course, is that Vito's situation isn't really a joke at all. His visit to the gay bar reflects a hidden aspect of his identity that, in the hyper-masculine world of the mob, is anything but funny. His desperate attempt to laugh it off and frame it as a joke shows how deeply the stigma surrounding homosexuality exists in that environment and how Vito is trapped between his true self and the world he's forced to navigate.So, while Vito claims it was just a joke, the deeper truth is that he's unable to reconcile who he is with the dangerous, hyper-masculine culture he inhabits. The tension between these two sides of himself becomes a major part of his tragic arc in the series.
>>216052202The gagging will go away the more you do it
>>216052227Nothing. I was here. It's a joke.
>>216052227It’s the medication, it fucked with his blood pressure.
In hindsight, it bothers me that Vito is wearing a captain hat and seems to be taking a dominant role in his flirting in the gay bar but the security guard scene and Johnny cakes arc shows us he's actually submissive. Quite anachronistic.
>>216052227He was looking for the stolen diamondsThey were in someone's ass and he was gunna find out whoAss by ass, he was going to search deep and wide
>>216052257i still cannot believe he left metallica to be a fag(moreso than normal that is) on tv.
it's a tv progrum, a movie
>>216052227The only realistic say to get out of it would be to cap the guy who saw
>>216052319He's a powerbottomYou'd know this if you actually had sex with men you incel loser
>>216052237>The joke here is layered.
Why do they have to make collections in a fag bar anyways?
>>216052227Doing research for a book
>>216052414No, that doesn't come across in the johnnycakes scenes at all. Ralph was the only power bottom in The Sopranos.
>>216052227he could have told them he was undercover for CIA and just got back from Afghanistan. Lupertazzis! I'm CIA
>>216052227Early age dementia
>>216052227pretend to not be him, not go into hiding. the real nail in the coffin was shaggy anyway. that sal guy would have been clipped if vito showed up normally saying he was not at a fag bar. shaggy on the other hand had no reason to lie and vito was really fucking dumb for sucking off a guy at the construction site in the first place. he maybe could have put in more effort into disappearing shaggy
>>216052227He shoulda whacked off Sal
>>216052227>Yeah uh I'm collecting some points here, I gotta dress like these fags to get in the club and earn my vig, now getdafuggoutahere
>>216052438Because business is business. Like they are not going to extort fags because they hate them.>Fuckin' skeeve this shit.
>>216052227>Actually, I'm an undercover cop working out a serial gay killer. My real name's Al PacinoYou still get whacked but at least you keep some (apparent) dignity.
Uncle June was still gayer. If you suck pussy you'll suck anything.
>>216053064>vito was really fucking dumb for sucking off a guy at the construction siteThat's because gays are debaucherous hedonistic freaks who literally can't help themselves. It's not a sexuality, it's a deranged fetish.
>>216052227Why not just kill the people who you know would come after you? It's not unique to this situation either. You ratted and people are going to kill you? Kill the people who would kill you. You're already a murderous gangster. You can get the cops to believe some other mafioso killed those guys as long as there aren't witnesses.
>>216052319>anachronisticWhat do you think that word means?
>>216052227Offer Sal a blowjob. Might go along with the joke
>>216052227Same as Ralphie, he was a good earner, so only Phil was insisting on whacking Vito, but then again, going to a gay pub, which are often under protection of mob guys, was a suicidal move and Vito was asking for it. At least wear a mask>lost a bet
>>216052257if johnny cakes put on vito's leather hat he'd look just like mr slave
>>216052227give leotardo the succ
>>216054201Love is loveAnywhere, anytimeDon't be mad because you never had a gf that would suck you off in public
>>216052257the shit he saw and whistleblew about 911wew
>>216052257Speaking of Jimmy Deans, are sausage patties common when compared to links in burgerland?
>>216052257That actor killed himself in his basement in 2008. Buon' anima.
>>216054381Holy shit you’re right.
>>216054472We have links of all kinds. Jimmy deans is freezerslop.
>>216052227>gay bar?? I just came here for a beer!
>>216052227just gaslight and put on a different accent
>>216054546Yeah, but are patties and links split 50-50 in prevalence there, or are links much more common?One part of my country has patties as common and easy to find.In my part of the country, it's almost all links and it's tough to find patties. Apart from McD's.Vito wanted Jimmy Deans in the diner like it was a normal order for him, and was told that they made their sausages in house.
>>216052227Just keep lying. It’s your word against theirs and since the mob is inherently a pyramid scheme the made guy’s word will always have more weight than some associates’ word. Most of the guys at The Bing thought they were lying about Vito too.
>>216052227It was his twin brother gino
>>216052202Could be the blood pressure medicine.
>>216052227Blame it on his twin
>>216052227He was ok when he moved out of state and started a new life and he was doomed when he went back to the Mafia life.
>>216054381Don't look up the actor who played him
>>216052227He could have had his doctor print off his blood pressure and the medications he was taking for it to show the guys. They'd understand.
>>216052184They should have had YMCA or It's Raining Men playing in the background, just for extra gayness.
>>216056474https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEwcbsTMqZMThe comments are Sopranos quotes. Based.
>>216054784Why didn't those guys just pull out their cellphone and take a picture?It wouldn't be their word against his, they would have proof
>>216052237Blatant Chatgpt post
>>216052227You're a made man and big earner.You stand your ground and admit going there; but not for the same reason. You come up with a story that someone in there owed you money, or you were doing it against your judgement to do a favor. You attack the accusers; claim they completely over blow the attire and that if these guys can go and spread shit like this so easily what is the change they wont flip if they talk so easy.
>>216056412huh, he was an actual fireman from NYCand shot himself at 47
>>216056971You're pretty stupid but let me tell you.1. Those kind of phones didnt exist back then2. Even if there was some kind of model that could shoot a clear picture of a guy with its 0.1MB digi camera in dark enviroment.3. You literally just took a picture of a mob boss and aim to blackmail him.
>>216052227It was a joke.>Was Vito gay?"No!">then why suck the guy's cock?It was a joke>why did he he make such a homossexual joke?Because of the medication>what does the medication have to do with it?It changes a mans sense of humour>was he still under the effects of the medication when he ran away?Yes>was living with the fireman a joke?Yes>why did he leave the fireman and the happiness he had found, even knowing Phil wanted his ass dead?Because the effects of the medication wore off>how did Vito sneak behind Jackie Jr and "nothing personalled" him?Objects of large mass can collapse upon themselves, create black holes and teleport themselves in wormholes. Vito was a man of large mass>did Vito also teleport the car and the driver?Yes>Could Vito have teleported himself to another place when his jokes were found out?No, the medication made him lose too much mass>how did Vito kill Jackie Jr with a toy gun?He didn't, Jackie had a collapsed lung, as we can see by the snow already having blood when he falls, and Vito took the credit for it. Lots of luck>why does the scene where Vito threatens Finn DeTrollio look like bad CGI?Objects of large mass, such as Vito, can deform their surroundings due to excerting a stronger force of gravity>was Finn really his arch nemesis?Yes. Thin. Kind of tall. Looks like Daniel Day Lewis' son. Couldn't take a joke>would Vito kill him in the Yankees' game?No, he just wanted to make a new friend, and share some jokes>why did Phil want Vito's death so much?Because he was a closeted faggot>wasn't it all a joke?No, he wasn't fat, so he wasn't on medication
>>216052257>Costelloe, a former FDNY firefighter, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on December 16, 2008, at the age of 47. His body was found two days later at his home in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.[1]jesus
