Guy is just asking for chicken carbonara with no bacon and the server keeps telling him it isn't possible.
Then this lady gets super incensed and starts going off calling everyone that disagrees with her "medigan" which is apparently a derogatory term used by Italian Americans to insult people they think have "lost touch with their Italian heritage"

I loved the details in that arc, these fucking absolute morons going to southern Italy to broker a relationship with a crime family and thinking they are going to reconnect with the beautiful ethnic heritage they have been keeping alive through sociopathy and slang.
I loved when two old guys on the bench realize Paulie is an American and curse him out for one of those NATO incidents where a bunch of people died from some immune jet pilot goofing around and clipping the wires on a gondola sending the riders to a violent death... because Paulie was as ignorant of it as probably 99% of the American audience.
Chris spends the whole time in his hotel room nodding off on heroin (lol), and none of them understand the food at all, because it's not the cartoonish shit they grew up on. and they also get a glimpse of how off the rails life in the Mezzogiorno is for regular people when one of the thugs casually belts some civilian woman in the mouth in public and everyone not connected just scurries away.
of course they all come back and lie like crazy about how it was a spiritual/familial renewal with the best food/culture etc.
Sopranos is a groundbreaking family drama that uses the mafia as an analogue to corporate suburban America, it's also incredible brainrot material and I had most fun with the show watching clips uploaded to YouTube with the comments sections all filled with parodied quotes.
One of my favorite lines is in the pilot where Tony tells his expensive lib therapist that he feels he got into the business at the end after the peak and its a shot of him walking to get the newspaper in his huge mansion.
What's the movie?
It's an episode of a show called The Sopranos which is about a mafia family.
Thank you, never watched it. I'll give it a go.
Dont feel compelled to continue after season 1, the show has wild dips in quality and gets unfocused after season 2 (it starts being a crime drama rather than a character drama) and it gets repetitive.
Tbh for all that it seems widely loved, I did not really like it. It has moments that are funny or brilliant which I loved and this episode sounds hilarious but it also makes some really bad decisions in the writing.
The last episode I saw was somewhere in season 3 they have a very graphic and prolonged SA scene. Which could have, if handled well, been acceptable. Media doesn't have to shy away from difficult topics like that. But instead the way the writers handled the followup to it was disgusting and infuriating. Probably should have expected that from how they handled something like that in season 1 but that was it, I was just done with the show after that
You just revealed your own ignorance.
Yes. Exactly. That's why I asked.
Haha Sorry, I wasn't saying that genuinely. It's just a popular line from it.
It's not a movie, they're referencing The Sopranos. Really good show and highly recommend it! It has a lot of famous, funny lines that people like to repeat.
Oh! Haha, sorry. As you can see I'm plenty ignorant of the show.
A coupl'a tree videos just as an example of the comedy in it, it's not just an action-drama.
This one has a minor spoiler in it but wouldn't ruin the show:

But this one is probably more relevant to Hexbear sense of humor and doesn't have spoilers:

And this one is a compilation of moments from the mentioned trip to Italy:
lmao at that second one. a bunch of lazy, theiving assholes sitting doing nothing complaining about how hard they work and that the indigenous don't do anything to deserve any social assistance or respect. fucking beautifully organized scene.
I think in one of that later season, they show Vito hiding out upstate, trying his hand at working a straight job. guy doesn't even last an hour doing basic electrical work with a new friend before he loses his mind at the grind and quits.
I love how the show works in those little reminders that they aren't just scumbags and fuckups, they are all outrageously lazy and sit around all the time spending the money they took from actual working people on treats bullshit.

as others have said, it's from The Sopranos, a critically acclaimed and popular Very Dark Comedy that ran from 1999-2007 ostensibly about the leader of a crime family (biological and extended).
it's tone ranges from goofy to grim, sometimes in the same moment. the result was a very quoteable show with a massive audience that remember and experienced it differently.
This happened when my uncle from the US visited. We went to a Thai place and said, "I'd like this but not spicy." The waiter said that's not possible, and the look on my uncles face was like... You mother fucker, I'm an American consumer sir.
He then later went on a rant about how Indians don't understand customer service because of their backwards culture (the server was brown but no idea if he was from India).
Reminder that most of these "traditional" Italian dishes were invented less than 100 years ago. Spaghetti carbonara was first made in 1944 with American Army rations of bacon and powdered eggs.
Kind of, although there's also a factor of Americans claiming to have a larger role in something they were a minor player in.
Carbonara was "invented" in the 40's, but it's mostly just adding egg to a pre-existing dish called pasta alla gricia which traces back to Papal Rome
Pasta alla gricia is pecorino romano, guanciale and black pepper
Pasta alla carbonara is pecorino romano, guanciale (or bacon), black pepper and egg.
American GIs and their bacon and eggs + Italian cooks already making a dish with pepper, pork and cheese = Carbonara. Cream was added later stateside.
So yeah, while it's true that the word "carbonara" didn't exist in any cookbooks prior to WWII and the dish as we know it wouldn't exist/be well known if it weren't for WWII, it's not something conjured out of thin air
Reminder that Italy didn't even have fuckin tomatoes until europe did colonialism
Can you imagine that?
So much of western cvltvre is a modern lie.
While we're on the topic of tomatoes, fuck cherry tomatoes and fuck Israel for ruining backyard gardens with their cursed pollen that makes tiny fruit. They did not create cherry tomatoes but they did teach them how to be prolific invaders, apparently. 
I emoji searched for lysenko but settler came up which worked out in the end
Sichuan didn't have chillies either. Imagine that...
I agree that's a little bit of a mindblower, but idk, maybe it's because I learned as a ē½å·¦ (/s) but I feel like people in China actually do know that.
I think in general people in China know their actual history more than people in the west. But I haven't actually been to China so I only see it from the lens of people who are able to talk to foreigners who are bad at Mandarin
And also I know that wasn't the point and I'm not going to pretend they were saints either but I still should point out, China wasn't the one going around stealing land, they got it through trade. And just like today we're not supposed to consider who China is trading with to be bad. Trade happens in a vacuum and builds the productive forces so it is always good. Mmhm.
You'll get no argument from me, cherry tomatoes are disgusting little shits that are always trying to evade my fork.
Also, Italy wasn't fully unified until 1871, so trying to codify a singular Italian culture is almost as recent and silly a concept as the invention of Israeli culture.
silly a concept as the invention of Israeli culture.
lol I was gonna say that, but I was like nah the Italians may be fascist but I don't wanna call them Israeli, that's too much of an insult!
lmao the comments on that article are another goldmine:
lmao imagine being proud of your country 
It's especially rich coming from someone called "Diogenes heir," since Diogenes once said "I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world."
imagine being proud of your country
ok on second thought nvm maybe nationalism can be good sometimes
I'd like to think that is a joke, but white nationalists do get very weird about which flavour of white bread founded all these ancient slave empires.
Bacon is haram
Iām too lemmy.ml to know how to emoji but this is anti Italian discrimination
You can also use the emoji picker
if you see an emoji and want to know how to use it you can also just highlight it and see the emoji code (or long press on mobile)
For example the Sopranos emoji below is anti-italian-discrimination with a semicolon before and after.
Not sure if it works outside hexbear but if you type : then start typing (without a space after :) it will bring up emojis containing that text.
Voyager only lets me do this
