Kendrick put out a hit then chowed on some gabagool
In true Mafia fashion he then hit his wife right after
Song of the year so far idc 🔥🔥🔥
Yall hilarious
“It was among the Italians. It was real greaseball shit”
She used to spit on her own floor. That never made any sense to me.
As an Italian, I didnt know any floor spitters. Spitting at the agents would make sense to me.
Prejudiced against Italians in this day and age?
Notice, zero whining or crying about humor from the Italian crowd. Just saying
This oily dago is too busy munching on gabagool to give a fuck
Gabagool? Ova here 👇👇
🎵"Woke up dis mornin', bought some gabagool, Came home this evening and I bough more gabagool, Kept waking up buying different types of gabagool, Even bought some gabagool from a...Scooby-Doo"🎵

Videogame Donkey is a musical genius
Idk there’s definitely a lot of Italians (from Italy, not jersey) who don’t appreciate the mafia portrayal. Particularly since it’s more of a Sicilian thing
But yeah they don’t cancel people or tweet about it
Sicilian (Cosa Nostra), Calabrian (‘Ndranghetta), Campanian (Camorra), and to a lesser extent, Apulian (Sacra Corona Unita) thing. It’s a tiny minority of people from those regions that are actual mafiosi, but it’s the first thing people assume about you if you or your family are from there and will still openly joke about. It happened to me today literally right after introducing myself to a stranger I met who’s from Serbia. I could have replied back asking if his family are war criminals, but it’s been happening my whole life, so I don’t take it seriously, even if it annoys me. Of course, it doesn’t help that I did have family in the mafia back in Italy, but that was a long time ago and they’re dead now.
Yeah that must be annoying. But seriously, what's Tony Soprano like in real life? How close are you?
As a Mexican who often gets cartel implications, I feel you.
I’m from an Italian family and think it’s cool when people assume I’ve got some mafia ties. I’ll laugh along but not completely dismiss it; let ‘em wonder a bit. They’ll think twice before fucking around.
If you’ve ever visited southern Italy (I’m thinking of Reggio Calabria in particular) and marveled at the wasted opportunity (it could be a major tourist destination instead of being majorly dumpy) because of mafia corruption and intimidation, besides all the people’s lives it has ruined or ended, you realize how unfunny it is. Very different beast than American mob.
And an Irishman here to take all you guineas’ money
You mean the people who murder, steal, and completely live outside all the rules of society are bad???? Mamma Mia! That’s a spicy meatball!
I got tree kindsa meat in the meatballs, I got veal, beef, and pork.
But ya gotta have the pork, that's the flavor.
Two can, two big cans
Don’t put too many onions in the sauce, you always put too many onions
Just three small onions
Are you assuming all Italians like meatballs? Sir, how dare you?
👌🌶️🍝
That's not the reasoning at all. I'm not defending this shit but you're off base. It's because NOT ALL Italians are mobsters and this continues a negative stereotype against Italian Americans for the naive viewer that has never met an Italian before.
Real greaseball shit.
100% among the Italians.
We had to just sit there and take it.
There was nothing we could do
“I’m sorry. He’s gone. And there is nothing that could be done”.
Greezeball. I love the way he says it.
His laugh has become an epic meme too.
One guys looking dis way, da utter guy is looking dat way and dis guy is like…whattya want from me?
Beautiful head of white hair
Looks like somebody we know.
The shah of Iran?
Yeah whatever happened there?
I’m prostate with grief.
The wine makes you emotional
He did 20 years in the car trunk and not a peep!
Have a breadstick. From the Bread Museum
Whatever happened!!!!
Ones looking east the other’s looking west. So what?!
This was my dad’s favorite line from the movie. I have a replica of the painting hung up in my room in his memory.
The mom does the best acting in the whole movie.
I have a replica of it hanging in my kitchen above the sink.
The hoof
Stupid, but whatever - I’d rather a warning than any sort of censoring or changing of the actual film.
Exactly, I have no problem with this.
So long as the original work is being presented uncensored, a preemptive card as a warning seems perfectly reasonable (but pointless).
Same way we got ratings on music in the 80s/90's. Tipper Gore wanted to censor and Zappa, Denver, Snider and others met them halfway and agreed to warning labels instead of censorship.
John Denver? 😂😂😂
I know right?! Say what you want about the guy but he was very much AGAINST censorship.
I think he's done some decent music over the years, but the last thing I'd imagine him being involved in, is a censorship battle.
I want to say the PMRC hearings are available on youtube.
I've seen the Dee Snyder clip and it was frankly embarrassing, as he rode rings around the committee members.
Embarrassing for the committee members? Yeah pearl clutchers aren't the most "in touch" people.
At least Dee Snyder has been working at the coalface so to speak and knows the ins and outs of the music industry better than a group of congressmen, so called 'morality campaigners' and religious nut-jobs.
It's tolerable honestly
warning: this movie is fuckin awesome. buckle up, losers
You insulted them a lil’ bit.
Nah I didn’t insult nobody
Drinks are on… 👇🏻the house
Have the drink with me!
You were a little outta order yourself. 🤣
There’s an Italian pressure group who have been pushing this narrative about Scorsese for like 35 years. They didn’t like the sopranos either
The sopranos has a character like this in it with the therapists ex husband
These are cultured Italian’s.
They never import.
You can always introduce him to your gavone son in law
When they say John gotti, you say Rudy Giuliani
The TV series The Offer is about the making of The Godfather and one of the issues that was covered was an Italian American mob boss trying to stop them from portraying Italians in a negative manner
It’s a stereotype and it’s offensive
Be adults people come on
((in New Jersey)) OHHHHHHH!
Spider should've had a trigger warning
No, I thought you said I’m alright Spider.
You ain’t alright Spider, you got a lotta fuckin problems
If that’s a legitimate trigger warning then just slap that on every movie and tv show ever made.
I don’t pay Mooks.
well my girlfriend refuses to watch any of these classic movies bc of the racism. there'll be exactly 0 black people in the movie and somehow they're still catching strays. we ended reservoir dogs like ten minutes in. so i get it.
There’s a black guy in goodfellas so I guess your gf can’t watch it
had to look it up, i completely forgot samuel l jackson was in goodfellas. huh
The guy was late to his own funeral!
[ Removed by Reddit ]
He was in on the heist, that’s why he nods to Henry and Tommy.
His story to everyone and his company is what he says out loud.
He just explained before this that the drivers were in on it, would just give up shipments to them, so it’s the driver giving a BS story because he’s in on it
Also plays into the long running joke on The Sopranos of random crime getting blamed on unidentified black males.
*charcoal briquette
No, we had a problem...and uh, we tried to do everything we could. Well, you know what I mean. They slapped a warning, and we couldn't do nothing about it.
The headline got me excited, I thought AMC was re-releasing Goodfellas in their theaters haha.
Who cares, they didn't censor the movie.
Also how can any of you take this article seriously when they ask fucking Michael Franzese for a comment.
I hope they addressed the well known Jew/Wig-Maker trope Scorsese just had to shoehorn in
Sounds about right for 2024. The age of coddling
YOU CAN ACT LIKE A MAN!
A similar disclaimer was played when The Godfather was broadcast by NBC, half a century ago.
I mean we have had MPAA warnings since about 1968. Hard to see how this is any different.
There's a vast difference between this and a MPAA rating. MPAA warns about stuff that might be too much for kids. This is for sensitive adults who think portraying things in a certain way is offensive
it was among the italians
I’m assuming we’re going to get one on fiddler on the roof as well.
Do you really think that matters at all? How does that affect you or the common viewer? It doesn’t.
Sit down
Juat curious if any italian people out there find it offensive? The movie is great and I in no way stereotype italian people as like the characters in Goodfellas despite knowing people with similar traits and characteristics.
If you can find me an Italian-American that thinks Goodfellas is offensive, I’ll fedex you an entire leg of prosciutto
I mean I get it. As soon as DeNiro puts ketchup on his spaghetti at Tommy's mother's house, we all knew there would eventually need to be a trigger warning.
They should put one in front of Olive Garden saying
"This Restaurant Serves Cultural Dishes That Are Inconsistent With Real Italian Dishes"
Are people forgetting how basically every cable channel edited movies for content, time, etc. for decades ? And still do? But a warning on content gets people riled up?
This feels like old people pandering like hello my fellow cool kids or a psychological operation to make boomers and gen x that have checked out of society think this is what amc HAS to do to perpetuate the fragile generation propaganda
What do you mean, you mean the way I talk? What?
It’s just, you know. You’re just a stereotype, it’s…stereotypical, the way you tell the story and everything.
The Shoeshiner Union must have signed a petition
What a fun world to create art in
Oh no, five seconds of text before my movie that’s mixed in with all the other things that go with the start of a movie. How could an artistic vision exist in these conditions?!
We will exclude and be intolerant towards anybody who does not fit our standards of inclusion and tolerance.
It’s called the tolerance paradox. Worth a google.
Yeah, just a little glance would help them greatly.
Who cares, good for whoever this makes feel better which I assume is nobody who actually exists
Please stop falling for New York post rage bait sensationalism
This warning is just there to help the youts know what’s right and wrong
Oh! (In Italian accent)
ITS A SHTEREOTYPE AND ITS OFFENSHIVE!
Did they change the movie?
No
So?
But they all love Stacks Edwards
Ho spaghett about it!
Just turn off the lights already. The party is over.
Whose still watching tv
it’s real greaseball shit
Can you fuckin believe it?? 🤌🏼🤌🏼
Spider, bring me a cutty and water…
Whatareya gonna do?
“There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the DUTCH”
Prejudiced against Italians! Can you believe that! In this day and age
OMG! Who cares.
Oof. Madonn
I remember Sal Paolantonio of ESPN refused to watch The Sopranos because of this. Sorry Sal, it was fiction but also sort of real. Source: Irish from Boston. Get over yourself.
Can you imagine that? A Jew broad. And she’s prejudiced against Italians.
I was always offended by the caricature of the Shah of Iran
Ooh! That’s anti-Italian discrimination!
🤌
I mean, ya.
Ridiculous
GABAGOOL
On June 28, 1971, Jerome Johnson shot and killed Joseph Colombo, the head of the Colombo crime family, at an Italian-American rally in Columbus Circle. Colombo was the founder of the Italian-American Civil Rights League, a political action group that protested The Godfather because they believed the book portrayed Italian Americans negatively.
TV Land posts “Outdated Cultural Depictions Viewer Discretion Advised” before Bonanza
😂😂
Ohhhhh!
Two numbskulls just stole my truck. Two fuckin numbskulls
OHHHH!! Madone.. fughettaboutit what murdahhhhj
Had an immigrant Eastern European roommate in NYC and I said "WOP". He goes "What's WOP?" I was like "It's a name for Italians." He's like "But why WOP?" I was like "It means 'Without Papers' because of all the Italian immigrants who came here decades ago." He thought that was the funniest shit he had ever heard. Mfer laughed so hard. He started saying WOP all the time and I'd have to tell him STFU in public all the time or he's gonna catch on across the face.
Idc just bring it back to theaters
Can you believe this? A jew broad prejudiced against Italians!
Let’s be honest Italian Americans from the northeast love this aspect of their culture
Is it after each commercial break?
https://youtu.be/8CpAE9c1lN8?si=58a31H6m01hCS2h5 Pallies - Mr Show
As an Italian I have just one thing to say......
BABBITY BOOPY BOOPITY BAPPY!
Next up: Blood in Blood Out, Scarface, The Godfather, The Wire. The list is endless really.
Boppitta Boopy 🤌🏽 Beepity Boppa! 🤌🏽
Da paw. Da HOOF.
I’m guessing The whole Sammy Davis Jr bit and what not
The Jersey shore TV show must be littered with trigger warnings
As an Italian I am not offended
At least have some fun with it and include "Funny, how?" Somewhere in the warning
🤌🏻
A couple of decades too late for that 🤣
Unfortunately, not surprising. They are going back and editing out smoking in movies but kids wanting to change their gender is supposed to be dinner table conversation these days. Kinda glad all the WW2 badasses are gone so they don’t have to see what all their sacrifices have led to.
Last night I watched “To Catch a Thief” with Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. Before it started there was a “black face” warning. I was confused as I’d seen the film many time and there’s no such thing in it. The I realized, while prowling the rooftops of the French Riviera late at night, cat burglars darken their faces for camouflage. 🤦♂️🙄🙄🙄
Get your shine box!
I am triggered by trigger warnings
A good chunk of the folks who are fine with inserting the trigger warning (“what’s the big deal,” etc.) would likely also be fine with eventually editing the film to remove the triggering offensive content. Yeah, we know where this story ends. No thank you.
Cultural stereotypes...Ehhhhh fuggedaboudit ya mook 😂😂😂
That is so incredibly ridiculous. Just like when Netflix mentions smoking as a trigger warning
Hey I thought Italian racism was ok? It’s a me Mario
Who stole the truck 😅
I'll tell you what it is. It's anti-Italian discrimination.
That’s pretty weak AMC.
Goodfellas is a cinematic masterpiece. Let people get offended.
This is very fair, even in its day Scorsese was criticized for perpetuating Italian crime stereotypes. Today it’s even more looked down upon. I think it’s nice to warn all the softies out there, specially saying that it may not conform to TODAY’S standard, that if they get offended, they can gtfo
My dad hates this movie because he used to expierence hate based on him being an italian immigrant.
Well, yeah. That seems natural.
Also there's a lil violence in there
I really don’t know one Italian that is offended by the stereotype of Italians being in mafias… the few Italians I know seem to love these movies and think it’s kind of a cool cliche BUT I’m not Italian so I can’t speak for them obviously
Them bit#he’s need to get over themselves
God this is just so fucking embarrassing.
"Good, it's supposed to be offensive" -a character from a mel brooks movie, To Be, Or Not To Be.
“Now go get your fuckin’ shinebox!”
🤦🏻♂️
It’s anti-Italian discrimination.
of the irish!
Makes me want to watch it again. 👍🏽🤌🏽
Delicious….delicious.
