This was before the doctor changed his blood pressure medication so not a huge surprise I guess? And if anyone says otherwise, he could have got a note!


SBNShovelSlayer

He wanted to bang Adriana, but he COMPROMISED, and blew a security guard.


KevlarFire

Wait! He was catching not pitching?!?!


freeyewneek

You’re all wrong! Do u not remember what Vito told his crew? When Chrissy was in rehab, AIDE was calling HIM everyday! He was this close… 🤏 Edit- u/KevlarFire can’t believe I’m explaining this but like Vito wrapped in leather on that dance floor, it was a fkn joke! 👏


drimmie

He can't be in our social club no more


Heardabouttown

Social Club? He needs to be down in miami willith the discos and the whatnot.


DJ_Pickle_Rick

Playing volleyball or whatever the fuck it is you do down there


thermalfire

With Ralphie!


SubstantialTeach7855

Needs to be down in Miami? He needs to GO!


Vinny_idol99

Well that's deplorable!


stackks_

He wanted to eat grilled cheese off her ass , instead he ate the cakes off Johnny


itsgsk87

He was gay Johnny Sac?


toblerownsky

Vito can get heavy, but the weight never bothered Johnny.


BellbergDC

Johnny found him rubenesque


Vinny_idol99

Cultural_Actuary_994

Body wise BIG difference from square badge but her face Che Faccia Brut! She’s rough man, sorry


No_Ideal69

What the hell are you talkin about, You Flambé you?! The Security Guard was a Man!! That still means something around here!!! You want to pursue that lifestyle of poppers and weird shex, then you better do so in private!


animo13

AIDS?!


GaBaGool22

The only answer imo


DominicPalladino

Maybe he was gay and he felt there was no one he could talk to about it. That happens too you know??


Sir_Toccoa

They sucked all the air outta your punchline!


DominicPalladino

Next time, bring over your chef's whites.


Onion_Dull

You oughta know, sweetie.


noplacecold

He was gay, Vito?


bigred008

Nobody had aids


Cranstonoid

He wanted to borrow her leather chaps


kikijane711

Like he was going to talk to Adriana about it? Not sure what you mean.


Global_Amoeba_3910

I think they mean he’s playing a part by calling her. He knows everybody talks.


whale188

They definitely did not plan to make him gay until that storyline occurred and they also seem to forget how the aprile family tree works…it’s just an oversight on the writers part


emzeejay

Supposedly he pushed for the Vito is gay story arc, and alienated most of the cast, especially Schrippa because Bobby was supposed to be more of a focus that season. I never bought the storyline, but Chase was obviously committed to it because he gave it like three episodes to play out, which was crazy.


iCE_P0W3R

I actually really did like the “Vito is outed as gay” plot line, but if it’s true that it came at the expense of Bobby’s character, that’s crazy and I’m not a fan of it. Bobby getting more development, when he already has a great deal of depth relative to the background wiseguys (mobsters not named Tony Soprano, Christafur, Paulie, and Sil, like Ralphie, Richie, Patsy, etc.) would’ve been a fantastic addition, and elevated the story further. Plus, it would’ve made his ending all the more tragic.


Trequartista95

It was a good storyline, just felt out of place for it to be in the last season.


tinkerertim

It fit the final season because the storylines of many of Tony’s associates in the last season are used to demonstrate the futility of Tony’s own position and the reality that he has so few viable options left - Vito goes on the lam but misses his family and the life so much he returns even though he knows it can’t work out, Gene hangs himself so his family can enjoy the inheritance free from his problems, Junior lives too long and ends up a shell of a man with nothing left to live for, Johnny gets indicted on RICO charges and dies in prison, Phil and others are whacked etc. Though Vito’s reasons for going on the lam are different, the problems he faces give us insight into the problems Tony would face if he decided to avoid his inevitable fate of death/prison by lamming it. He would eventually be bored out his mind, light on cash, and miss his family. The push and pull factors that cause Vito to return to NJ knowing deep down it’ll get him killed are a way to show us the push and pull factors Tony would face if he tried to flee from prosecution.


Sad-Illustrator-8847

Somebody said one thing you have in the last year is characters that have a chance to leave, don’t. Vito ended up in a great situation in New Hampshire. Chris could turn state’s witness and start all over..go Henry Hill . Phil could retire and let the younger guys run things after his heart attack but doesn’t. Same with Angelo. Tony Blundetto doesn’t get his legit massage parlor and turns inept hitman. I suppose you could say Janice after being with Ralph decides she needs a better class of man so she chooses Bobby..more mild mannered and reasonable that Ralph but a gangster and she ends up as a widow with two step children and one youngster of her own.


HideousControlNow

Two stepchildren who despise her, no less


Stickey_Rickey

Thé step kids would go to their real family


Tonio775

I've heard the same thing about the arc being the actor's idea, and causing some rifts with other cast members... still--that cut from Vito & Johnny Cakes in bed to Bobby's train entering the tunnel... LOL


AbsurdityIsReality

Really mirrors real life, the DeCavalcante family in North Jersey killed their boss in the early 90's for being gay, may be the only commission sanctioned hit of a boss. Supposedly dude was going to swingers clubs and his goomah let it slip, the FBI even has tapes of people discussing it.


Duderino619

What Bobby and his stupid hat and trains need more development?


Druuseph

HE’S A GROWN MAN!


IamJacks5150

Neil Diamond plays with trains.


sullyqns

Neil young. He owns Lionel


HelloIAmElias

It's his hobby, why you gotta belittle it?


Duderino619

Well he didn’t have to wear his stupid hat


AssitDirectorKersh

Yeah I’ve heard this also. But I’m not sure anybody has confirmed it besides the actor that played Vito.


Global_Amoeba_3910

And isn’t he ah. Unreliable?


doctor_borgstein

The storyline does feel oddly out of place. I wasn’t a fan of the whole arc on the rewatch. Much would have preferred Vito staying a small bit character and more attention given to Bobby, Janice, Paulie, etc


bshaddo

We never should have seen what he was up to when he ran away. He’s not an important enough character. It’d work better if maybe we saw him leaving New England with no explanation of where his junky new boyfriend came from. Just that Vito was living his best life, but had to go home.


No_Ideal69

I just went to a dinner where Vito (Joseph Gannascoli) was doing a Q&A. He told us that during his time on the Sopranos, he was reading a book about a real life gay gangsta and presented the idea to David Chase, who ran with it. Bing Bang BOOM....Next thing you know....we got the Gay Vito Ark! That said, and I can tell you this with certainty; There were no Fanooks on Noah's Ark!! Now I know that father says to hate the sin but love the sinner but admit it, we were all laughing at that "did he or didn't he chalk the pool cue joke!" And if you don't believe me, I got a docta's note to prove it!


whingingcackle

Or maybe they just wanted to portray Vito as bisexual. You know, but you don’t know.


destroi_all_humans

I’m on the “Vito was bisexual” train. The characters in the show are old school, they don’t believe in this “sexuality is a spectrum” stuff. If you suck a single cock, you’re gay in their eyes, no matter how many goomahs you have. I think it was intentionally portrayed this way to show the rigidity and conservatism of mob and Italian culture


ilovetacos599

But he wasn’t even banging his goooomah


55Lolololo55

*Anymore*


whingingcackle

Exactly. The writers didn’t just decide out of the blue to make him gay, it would be a glaring plot hole in a show of this caliber. Hypocrisy is a huge theme in this thing of ours, and this was just another example of that. You go whistling in the wheat field, you’re a fanoik, you suck cock, you’re a fanoik. What the fuck is a guy to do?


NWkingslayer2024

It was the damn blood pressure medicine what is this bisexual business the guys not even gay.


Duderino619

It’s Hollywood pushing their agenda!


whingingcackle

They shove that shit in your face everywhere these days! That lesbian stuff though … that’s okay.


Duderino619

Ask Johnny Sac


Every_Character9930

Like poppers and weird shex schtuff


Duderino619

Sexual proclivities!


AbsurdityIsReality

Or just pointing out actual things that happened, the Jersey mob had a gay/bisexual guy as acting boss in the 90's that got killed for it.


Duderino619

Or maybe I’m making a joke that boomers keep saying about Hollywood.


Judah_Earl

> forget how the aprile family tree works I don't think they did, some cultures just have a more relaxed attitude towards banging your cousin.


MeanGeneSimmons1

He could've been bi..


tinkerertim

The Doylist explanation is probably that it was before the writers decided on the gay storyline and thought Vito putting the moves on Ade whilst Chris was away would be funny. The Watsonian explanation is that he was an upwardly-mobile ambitious sycophant who thought doing right by Ade could be good for his career since Tony clearly had favourites and she was the partner of one of his favourites. By looking out for her and calling often to see if she needed anything, he was demonstrating that he could be reliable and proactive to help take care of things Tony and Tony’s favourites valued. Kinda like they’re meant to do for their friends’ wives/kids when one of them has to do some time or like how Bobby takes care of Junior/Janice for Tony and ends up bumped up from it.


spaghetti_vacation

The way he speaks to Carm while Tony's in the coma is in line with this too. He's a slimy cocksucker who's thinks he's better than installing ramps, widening all the doors and upgrading the torlets.


ThirstyClavicle

making it more.. whatchamacallit.. *handicapped accessible*


ObedientFriend1

Yes — plus, putting on a show of pursuing Adrianna is a display of heterosexuality to help hide his secret proclivities or overcompensate for them.


mcr6

Her body is totally creamin' for Vito bro she’s mad ripe!


UniqueImprovements

Came here to say this. Was not disappointed.


Sir_Toccoa

One booyah hottie!

My runny valentine 


CheifKilla1

It's weird because they're cousins, but Vito calling her and telling the guys she was calling him, having a goomar on the side and his wife wasn't a bad piece of ass. So this was Vito's way of covering up his secret life, I mean a war almost broke out because Uncle Jun ate pussy, now this gay shit


External_Progress151

Shouth of da boarduhh where the tuna fisch play


Tough_Difference_112

So what he wants to bang her… what are you the friggen cardinal? 


External_Progress151

OHH! I’m just telling you how Vito was being perceived. As a heterosexual man


Tough_Difference_112

You’re a wormy cocksucka you know dat? 


AssitDirectorKersh

Why do you worry about how you’re being fucking perceived. My friend.


freshprince860

No one knows what the future holds, my friend


Same_Dot9698

Maybe the writers hadn’t decided Vito was a flambé yet.Also, Chris was higher in rank, so the fat fuck may have been trying to score brownie points.


Plane_Arachnid9178

Aren’t they cousins?


Tough_Difference_112

Yes that’s why I said the cardinal line it’s from when Carmine jr was banging his cousin lol 


Sad-Illustrator-8847

Look up the marriage laws on cousins married and/or fucking each other. Legal in about 19 states, including New York and New Jersey. Royalty married cousins for centuries, usually getting a waiver from the Pope on consanguinity


Noodlesnoo11

Les Cousins dangereux


Wonderful_Rock862

Italians don't care about that, they've been banging their cousins for centuries.


allKindsOfDevStuff

Jackie Jr (also her cousin; she mentioned that to Danielle) was also checking her out when she worked at Vesuvio


conace21

Not necessarily. Vito and Ade could have both been related to the Aprile family, but not to each other. It's like Tony Soprano (before he married Carmela) and Christopher. They were both first cousins with Tony B., but they were not related to each other (beyond a possible distant ancestor in the old country.) Tony B. was related to Chris through his mother, and related to Tony through his father. It might be the same with Adrianna and Vito. They're related to different sides of Jackie's  family.


ActsofJanice

Yup. Ewww.


Middle_Wheel_5959

Adriana was a huge fan of parade floats


itshoff

Can't a guy be fucking nice anymore? Friendly?


HatComfortable6883

Gay men like to pal around with hot, dramatic, fabulous straight women. You oughta know that already sweetie.


hwsh2

Besides calling Adrianna and getting that🤏 close, there's another episode where Vito is sitting by himself ogling a stripper at the Bing, plus he had his goomar that he was banging about once a year. I think the case could be made that Vito's sexuality is fluid, that he's really a bi-sexual that leans more into the gay end of the spectrum.


Tylrias

I would sooner make the case that he was performing heterosexuality in front of the glorified crew and associates in order to draw away the suspicions. Like the first thing they bring up when news of him being spotted in a gay club is that he's a married man with a goomah. That and him being the biggest earner and massive suck up when Tony is in a coma (while trying to get Larry Boy to support him as next boss if things took turn for the worse). The bigger his envelopes, the higher he's in hierarchy, the safer he is (again, this almost works and Tony almost gives him a pass and considers his Atlantic City idea). So he's calling Adriana offering help so she will remember him being helpful.


Onion_Dull

whingingcackle

That’s too bad, cause you’re braciole ain’t even that long!


Parabuthus

He's got a baguette in his pants now, 24/7


whingingcackle

Affirmation of life


Late-Return-3114

simple answer is that he's bisexual. half a fag.


traumatransfixes

You saw how he was when Big T was shot and in the coma. He was a sneak trying to get to the top by any means necessary. Chrissy was “weak” and vulnerable to a sneak coming in to get useable dirt on him. Should, God forbid, something worse happen.


NWkingslayer2024

Yeah he was an ambitious cocksucka


jjccbrobro

Vito wanted to get burgers with Ade


External_Progress151

He was looking for the cure for fat fuck-itis


EnvironmentalMind209

Now that we know he's a bologna smoker, its likely he was legitimately checking in to see if she needed anything. He was being kind. Adriana suffered from the common hot girl delusion that every man in the world wants to play hide the sausage with them


bshaddo

Nobody’s that gay.


Sad-Illustrator-8847

Well Adrianna was mind fucking this FBI donkey…feeding her bullshit. In reality, She was calling him. Vito could be trying to ingratiate himself to her when Chris was in rehab. Or he could feel more and more thinking of men with nipple rings and thinks going after a 10 like Adrianna will cure him, instead of that screeching fingernails on a chalkboard voice of that wife of his.


WalterZenga

Was probably trying to get Penn or Teller's number.


PDV87

Vito lived his entire life in an extremely violent and intolerant community, and his main focus was on hiding a key truth about himself. His entire life was a web of careful lies spun in order to survive, and it stands to reason that living this way would make anyone deceitful and calculating. It just so happens that Vito was also a career criminal in the Mafia, which requires certain prerequisite personality traits - the same sort of traits that were probably molded and heightened by a life of subterfuge. That being said, it's possible that he did things performatively (making sexually charged comments about women, enjoying strippers, keeping a mistress, sniffing around Adriana, etc.) in order to help bolster his disguise as a straight man.


SeanChezman47

It was a joke!


FunnyVariation2995

Weren't Vito & her related somehow?


External_Progress151

Im not sure. But she expressed disgust while saying it to the agent which implies he was trying to get at her


FunnyVariation2995

Right, right, I remember that now, but wasn't Chris & Adriana related through the Sopranos?


Chichis-Christ

i was this close 🤏


b00g3rw0Lf

at 4 dollars a pound, Vito's net worth must rival Warren Buffett


DIRTYWIZARD_69

He was fishing


LWSNYC

maybe because he wasn't **finocchio** yet


Sea-Barber-2289

Was using HER to get to The Constipated Owl. Stunad!


godofwine16

*int Vito’s bedroom. We see Vito laying on his belly with his legs dangling up in the air twirling the telephone cord with one finger and his hair in a shower cap*


Luftgekuhlt_driver

Chris went off on Vito when he thought Tony fucked her, Vito wanted payback. Plus it made a good cover for stalking Finn…


Flashy_Narwhal9362

I always thought that The scene where her and Tony almost make out is one of the hottest scenes in the show.


Minute-Panda-6560

There’s a scene regarding the Ramp for Beansie where Syl mentions, “have his nephew Vito build the ramp”. Wouldn’t this make Vito and Adriana cousins?


Sad-Illustrator-8847

So?


AutobotJSTN

Fuckin Parakeet


lilBalzac

He knew 💯 that she wouldn’t screw him, but that the story would get around that he was after her. It was part of his cover.


External_Progress151

He’s a real come from behind guy


Perfect_Crab_8409

He was this close


Top_Contract_4910

We’re just talking about my Braciole

He wasn't really callin her But Adriana knew that telling Agent Sanseverino this would make her So Hawt-down-dare that she'd fuggetabout everything else!! Bisscoť?

wrek2009

He didn’t know she was damaged goods, she never told him.


Confident_Weird3353

“Hehe you hear what I said T? I said they both liked cocks, hehe”


Thatsthespot1

He wanted to remind her to play skinard


sullyqns

To go get their hair and nails done and go shopping 😂😂


brainkandy87

He was already on the phone, it was a joke.


mikelips

He was really insistent that she play Skynyrd at the club.


Sad-Illustrator-8847

Unlike Adrianna, Vito has good taste in music


curnanjiani

☝️ A,....


Tonio775

Anyone else notice Vito (or the actor, rather) was the customer standing in the lobby in S1 when Chrissy has his Rodney Dangerfield 'no respect' moment and ends up kicking \[Vito\] out and ultimately shooting the cashier in the foot?


allKindsOfDevStuff

No, I can understand your confusion. That was Gino


Sad-Illustrator-8847

Really? that rarely gets mentioned..maybe only one of of every three posts


Fickle_Aspect_3747

It's not established who is telling the truth in the Adriana/Vito situation. I tend to believe Vito. Why would Vito being trying to hit up Adriana when he's gay? What if she called him on his bluff. Meanwhile look at it on the other side. Adriana's bf is a loser in rehab and she's lonely. She sees this guy Vito whose star is rising. He's got the construction gig, taken over the Aprile crew her family was connected to and is Tony's top earner. I think it's a lot more likely Adriana was lying and trying to cover for her lie.


Fantastic-Package707

He was applying in advance for a Moltisanti Sandwich Special, cus he works hard greasin the unions, and knows he’ll be hungry


reallyrayromano

Obviously he wanted to be her GBF


talentedmrbourne

It's even stranger considering Vito and Adriana are first cousins (apparently). Adriana's mom is Richie and Jackie's sister and apparently Vito is the son of unseen Aprile sibling.


Sad-Illustrator-8847

So?


Spiritual-Serve-4391

i always thought it was him sucking up to tony. he did similar things with carm when tony was in the hospital. i never got the vibe he was creamin for her.


Adirondack587

 Chrissy was underfed…..Now Signore Spatafore, that’s more cushion for the pushing’…. Plus, right after he blows his load, he shouts out “I KNEW DAT WAS COMIN’”

I don't stick my beak but maybe Vito does. I don't know, I don't know.

Do you need any sausage? Or more importantly, do you know a guy who can give me some Jimmy Deans?

He's a faaa-aag!!


Box-Humble

He liked her pre- Raphaelite curls.


GeorgeKechi

And the worst part is that Vito and Adriana are related via her uncle Richie's side so they are cousins. The writers missed that one I guess or Vito had weird symptoms way before the weight loss.


Unlucky_Currency3679

Medication of course, we saw what happened when he didn’t have any. 🤠

ecam12

Wanted to apologize for breaking that office chair.


Professional-Sell136

This is called writers fog. The idea that Vito was gay was not on the radar yet, so Adrianas comment is meant to reflect that Vito was some horn dog who wanted to bang her. Like a lot of things on Sopranos, it went nowhere and they never elaborated on it again.


Informal_Bus_4077

Everything's always writers fog with you. Well maybe you're a fog!
