John Ventura is the best part of this whole show, and he didn't even hit puberty yet. This could've been arrested development before its time if some of the characters weren't so... wrong. Carmine... nope. His character wouldn't happen. He's got no power. The flamboyant gay guy is an affront to nature, and not because he's gay, but because even gay people wouldn't be attracted to that dude. He alone could turn a blind person off this show. Everyone else, i actually liked. Even creepy uncle joey
After another look at this video, I've decided that it borders on bad taste, but who cares that you poked fun at Italians...Oh! aye! oh! My beef is with the overly stereotypical flaming homosexual in your film. I happen to know some queer types, and they are nothing like that faggot character you created for this video. They are intelligent, classy, well-mannered, and compassionate. Why is no one coming to the gay's rescue? ..because you're probably all a bunch of spaghetti loving closet queers!
First of all, Hey Paisan! is not about mafia. So I don't know where you getting that it's a wannabe Sopranos show. Secondly, it's designed to insult all who watch it equally, not just Italians. Although I appreciate your comment and the controversy it's stirring up.
ohhhhh...we have a party all of the sudden....who gives a shit anyway?...don't you guys have anything better to do with your free time other than debate about some twisted guy's pilot, and who is right or wrong, and for the record, the producer of this so called "horse shit" is 1/4 Italian.
ifilmunude its obvious to all reading your comments who the hater is.....you! someone posts something you dont like and you attack them .i see nothing in joelouissux posts that indicate that he is either a hater or anti semitic or racist. however you keep bringing that up out of nowhere which indicates to me that "YOU" are both a racist and anti semitic! i say to you sir ....you are the miserable prick! go ahead attack me now . i know a little child such as yourself wont be able to resist.
boxingsbadboy55, I propose we settle this like gentlemen. I challenge you to a duel. You know the drill, take ten paces back, turn, and fire. Perhaps you prefer to joust? Are you any good with a lance? If not, how about a sword fight? Just name the time and place. (it's a shame we got away from customs like this for effective dispute resolution)
i suppose this is an attempt at humor on your part. ha ha.i have an even better idea. why dont you simply grow up,respect other peoples opinions and behave like an adult rather than an obnoxious spoiled child who attacks people when he doesnt get his way or like their point of view.your very immature.how old are you anyway? 12?
jealoussux, first you write that it's horseshit, and now it's offensive to Italians. So which is it? I'm sure you're just a big hypocrite anyway. How many times have you laughed at a black or Jewish joke? Pulling the "offensive card" is just a way to try and justify your anger. You're probably just a miserable prick that gets off on bashing people who have utilized their talents, as was first evident by your negative screen name.
i never laugh at black or jewish jokes . again your ignorance is showing kid. attack me all you like . but i suggest you direct your anger elsewhere. its time to grow up, move out of your parents basement, get a job and realize that in life you will find many people that disagree with you and you wont get far by name calling and personal attacks against someone you dont even know.btw, what kind of an asshole name is ifilmunude anyway, kid?you are the hypocrite and the one filled with anger.
btw ifilmunude there is no bitterness at all. i simply think this is offensive to italians at best and amateurish at worst,if your so sensitive to opinions that differ from your own maybe you and the videos creators should just refrain from putting them on the internet and opening yourselves up to this sort of critique!
Bitter haters like jealoussux have nothing better to do than bash people that have ACCOMPLISHED something with the use of their creative faculties. I wonder if he is one of those talented "writters" he speaks of? I suggest he first get a spell checker. He comes off as a big film critic, but has nothing of value to offer. No productions to his name....nothing on his channel to offer. Unfortunately, the Internet gives any old cretin a small, insignificant voice.
well ifilmunude it seems you have your nose planted firmly up john dobys ass.whos jealous? i was simply voicing an opinion. if you dont like it thats fine. thats your right. how do you know what i have or havent done? making blanket statements about someone you dont know or have never met belies your ignorance.you can deride my spelling if it makes you feel better about yourself. im simply voicing an opinion .
I understand this as being a comedy - a parody of North Jersey Italians. In case some of you are unaware, these are amplified stereotypes not to be taken seriously.
I understand that you are trying to be funny, but I also think that you must be a young man who has not been around much. As you get older and you've been in the real world for awhile, you'll see that Italians are still not fully accepted without getting that smirk or a "heeeeeeeeeey." Maybe when there's finally an Italian-American president, I'll be convinced that there's not a problem.
JohnDoby: Do us all a favor... write "comedy" about some other ethnic group. It's hard enough to be taken seriously without more of this crap on tv. Try making the black guy or the gay kid the idiot.
I heard through the grapevine that Comedy Central was looking at this to possibly produce a series. I must have missed the memo. I would love to see something like this on cable. Get my weekly dose of depravity.
if comedy central had any thoughts at all about airing this piece of shit that just means that there are very few talented writters out there or that the suits over at comedy central are seriously on drugs!
joelouissux, let's see one of your film projects. I would assume a guy with such a strong opinion speaks from expertise and has created something far better than this. Come on, don't be shy and post your link up here.
what do gene siskel, roger ebert and rex reed all have in common?they are all well respected, well known movie critics who have never directed a project. does that make their opinions any less valid? i think not. how do you know what i have or havent done?why do you have a need to attack someone simply because they have a different opinion than you? insecurity?ignorance is bliss as they say.btw ,i hear the best dish at your restaurant is cat. lol
I think my point is that it stereotypes all Jersey Italians as Ginny trash.. and thats not true.. ALL Jersey Italians aren't like that at all.. Just like ALL Jersey Italians arent in the Mafia. If they showed blacks as a bunch of nappy headed, watermelon eating Jiggs with barberque sauce all over their face... everyone would be up in arms.. Get my point.
I was being sarcastic when I asked what your point is. Anyhow, I don't see how this sterotypes ALL Jersey Italians since it portrays only ONE very dysfunctional Italian family. It is never implied that this show represents ALL Jersey Italians. I wonder how you came to that conclusion?
I think you know what I mean... If you portrayed Jews (even one family) as a bunch of stingy gifilta eating kikes, with heavy yiddish accents or blacks the way I described them previously.. everyone would be yelling racist... But Italians you can generally get away with stereotypes.
If Italians protested material portraying Italian sterotypes, we would have never had the good fortune of being graced by Goodfellas, My Cousin Vinny, Pizza Parlors, Muscle Tees, Jogging Suits, Olive Oil, and Vinnie Barbarino. I like all that shit....fuggeddaboudit!!!
I like all that stuff too... That what Italian American culture is... even the Mafia is an interesting part of the Italian experience in America... Gee I grew up with it, but this program is just over the top..Its almost like the person who made it wants to show Italians in a bad light.
I'm the person who made it and I'm Italian. I grew up in an Italian family. This is called "comedy". You take it with a grain of salt and have a laugh. Nothing to get all hung up about.
Congratulations John. All your hard work is paying off. As a fellow filmmaker I know how hard it is to put things like this together. I wish you continued success.
Perks baby! Nothin' but perks!
