There are fewer things we love more at JOE than using a tenuous Simpsons reference to write a nostalgic tribute piece to the greatest show of all time and we’re glad to report that that opportunity presented itself once again today.
Earlier on, we learned that Goodfellas actor Frank Sivero is trying to sue The Simpsons for $250 million because of his belief that the character Louie in The Simpsons was a rip-off of his Frankie Carbone character in Goodfellas and that got us all reminiscing about some our favourite moments involving Fat Tony and the rest of the mob.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t footage available of some of our favourite mob moments but we still think we’ve cobbled together a decent list below and if anyone tries to tell you otherwise… tell ‘em to go suck a lemon.
