What the fuck was Fat Dom hoping would happen?
“Carlo’s lipstick”? You’re really gonna make that joke when you’re alone, outnumbered by guys in another family, and one of ‘em already has a knife out?
Did Fat Dom ever get his IQ teshted?

As he was personally part of the hit on Vito, it’s one of those instances where you want to brag but can’t.

Tell me about it. Syracuse should have 2 or 3 more national championships if they didn’t tank.

He overplayed the Silvio card. He thought him and Sil were good. Would he make the same jokes if it was Paulie and Carlo there?

u/spikenzelda 1d ago

It'd be a pretty short video. Most of the time we see anything like this, it's sort of misdirection. Either it was the result of an altercation with a couple of Gentlemen From The Neighborhood, or someone found dem like thish and the guy waz a piesh of shit and WHOEVER did thish it shoulda been done a long time ago.

Carlo (Judge Roy Bean) was great in the Sopranos. It is the interesting little side characters like him that make the show truly outstanding and on another level........."HE'S GOTTA GO!"

u/happy_chickens 2d ago
He was a New York guy coming to break balls. He didn’t think they would do anything, remember he’s from New York, they really do consider the Sopranos a glorified crew, that Pygmy thing from Jersey.

It just shows how little NY thought of the pigmy thing in Jersey. Fat Dom thought he could attack a made guy, torture him by sticking a pool cue up his ass, and then kill him, then, not only go on to that guys turf, but to his actual fuckin' clubhouse, confront his buddies, who are also made guys, make jokes about the pool cue, when they know full-well he probably had something to do with Vito's death, and then have the balls/stupidity to make a gay joke about the guy who is standing there with a knife, that you've already pissed off.

The Hindenburg also went to New Jersey and never came back, maybe you should look into that too.

That fat prick getting stabbed was one of the best scenes in the show. Loved every second, too bad they didn't show him get carved up.

Felt untouchable because he was made. It was the same reason Ol Billy told Tommy to go get his fucking shine box.
If you are made it mean you were untouchable. Unfortunstely Fat Dom went a bit too far.

His waist went a bit too far for a belt.
Hey Tone, hear what I said? I told him he's too fat to wear a belt.

Maybe Fat Dom got lost looking for the flying saucer over in East Rutherford.

u/qxsx 2d ago
He was hoping to go to Metuchen, obviously. Sil reminded him it was time to head out. Too bad Noah Tannenbaum happened to see him in Satriales parking lot and built a ramp up to his ass and drove a Lionel up dere for his fawtha. He was just a kid. It’s sad when they go. When they go?

the NY mob had guys who were the type that would keep poking a lion or a crocodile with a stick and not expect it to bite back also they were a little too confident in the fact that there would be risk of a war if anybody touch a hair on their head right to where they forgot they are talking to emotionally unstable murderers and their boss isn’t around to protect them.

Jersey had nothing to do with Fat Dom. That day, Fat Dom never made it to Jersey. In fact, Fat Dom had never set foot in Jersey his whole life, scouts honor.

I don't think he ever knew that NJ literally had an OG mobster imported from Italy. He didnt know what the NJ crew was about, not really. He died thinking shit is sweet.
On an unrelated note, I believe Phil envied Tony and the NJ crew for this very reason, among all the other crazy shit they (Tony himself) did that he would more than likely constantly hear about, but as we all know he did 20 years in the can without a peep he would never admit to this

He knew what would happen... he would throw his back onto the printed cutout picture of a plate of spaghetti and meatballs on the table. There was nothing the cutout picture of spaghetti could do, Fat Dom was a made guy and the colored picture of spaghetti and meatballs wasn't. Real greaseball shit.

The New York guys always saw themselves as superior to Jersey so he probably thought he had some type of armor bc of that

Well, the NY never had a respect for Jersey, Dom basically thought that he could just insult one of their captains without consequences, after all, they were called a glorified crew, so that's why Dom was like that.

It’s called baiting. He estimated that the pygmies in New Jersey would recognize they’d be annihilated if they started anything with him/NY. And he was right, but it personally cost him some
