Family Guy - Joe Pesci

From the show Family Guy episode with Joe Pesci

[Dylanbolton]

Every kid knows Joe Pesci. Every kid that’s seen home alone at least

[hillbillydelux]

Joe Pesci was a realistic tough guy. He wasn't intimidating because his characters were giants or kung fu masters. They were intimidating because they would snap and bash someone's head in with a crowbar with very little provocation.

[Bolbi]

I saw this episode when I was 14, so the whole you’re 14 joke was much funnier

[gandhithegreat]

I think Seth forgot Joe Pesci was in Hone Alone and every kid has seen that

[MayaLea]

Size never has had anything to do with being badass. It’s about being smart

[James-sfyl]

Joe Pesci does such a great job of playing Harry Lime in Home Alone.

My dad got yelled at by Joe Pesci when he was doing work on apartments in NYC when he was younger. He was talking to a co-worker about construction materials when Joe Pesci shouted out the window that they were too loud. Funny.

Yes, thank you Peter for explaining the joke, yet again.

[ScootyPuffSr]

"In the 90s, this was a tough guy". I love Family Guy. But if you put Seth or whatever writer who wrote this joke alone in a room with Joe Pesci I wouldn't bet on them lasting five minutes . . .

Most people: Home Alone

Me: Goodfellas, Casino, The Irishman and the Lethal Weapon sequels.

Thank you for informing the nine year olds peter

I’ve known who Joe Pesci was since I was 6 in 2009. I loved home alone and my parents loved gangster movies.

[mikenewman]

I wouldn’t even call his characters tough guys, when joe Pesci played a mafia guy, he was pretty much playing a psycho

_walks into the family guy writing room_
“what the hell is this piece of shit?”

[gavinlamp]

"He said he's gonna call the cops!"
"He's not gonna call- FROM A TREEHOUSE?!"

[Lbelm]

Pesci wasn't scary because of what he could do. He was scary because of what he would do.

[daniellong]

Joe pesci might be short but its pretty hard to watch Goodfellow, casino and the Irishman and not be a little scarred of him.

[BatmanFan]

Peter is basically me describing Jim Carrey. “Oh yeah, that’s right. You don’t know who Jim Carrey is because you’re 14. You see, in the 90’s this was a funny guy”.

[knightlight]

Me being 14 in 2023 and knowing who joe pesci is: "damn peter..."

[josephverbosky]

“How am i tough? Like Hulk Hogan tough? Tony Soprano tough? Cmon!”
