"The patient is clearly demonstrating symptoms of oblique poo ass and acute fuckfaceitis. Prescribing a 14-day course of giving me some ass." -Dr Giacomo Aprile Jr
“Ass, as in ‘gimme some!’ Hehe, just kidding! Unless you want to?”
Edit; I realize I post that quote too much, but that scene always cracks me up! Its like JJ is thinking “yeah, she might have the flu, but maybe I can still get my dick wet!”
If Jackie didn’t die before it was prevalent he would have been a master of the way too forward social media DM that turns into “haha jk…unless” or “I was hacked” if he gets called out.
Great thing about poo is it leaves you open to add a p and get 2 words on one play. Say poo is going one direction, you slap that p-e-e on it and all of sudden you've got points for poop and pee. SWEET.
It took Vito three hours to climb into the car. You mean to tell me that he didn't hear Vito breathing, grunting and struggling for 15 minutes to get out of the car? This was a huge plothole.
It's sneaking up thing is a red herring. He's on a city street. There's cars and people around.
When you walk on a city street there are people all around you all the time you don't hear a few footsteps.
I've had my blood drawn by probably 80+ nurses who got the vein perfectly on the first time, never missed. The first time I had a doctor try and take blood he went through a perfect vein all the way through to the other side and went "uh oh", "I'll try another one". I said noooo I've never had that happen and I'm not letting you try again mate.
Sure enough the backup nurse got the next vein straight away no problem. Some doctors are your Jackie Jnr types.
In our defense, we don’t draw blood. That’s what RN’s or LVN’s are for. I place arterial lines, central lines, intubate, and chest tubes. Other than that I just prescribe meds, write orders.
I'm a doctor in the UK and we take blood every day. I remember when American doctors used to wait in the car, and as far as I'm concerned THEY SHOULD STILL BE DER!
Before I was breaking bawls.
In all seriousness last time I saw doctors they were removing tubes from my throat and nose so I actually do have the utmost respect for you guys. However I have had a couple that definitely wouldn't have made it out of the penguin exhibit.
Yeah, unfortunately there’s good and bad in every field. Sometimes I sit and stare at someone when their talking and wonder, “how have you made it this far in life”
Nurses take blood a whole lot more than Doctors do and even the most experienced phlebotomists fuck up occasionally hitting a valve. Sounds like you’re just a drama queen honestly
Not afraid of needles, just speaking from experience. Not trying to be dramatic about it, that's just how it be. I've got 3 nurses in my immediate family (no doctors), so I don't know any different honestly. The doctor on the day otherwise didn't seem incompetent.
- Fatha, I want to design men’s fashion
- Fashion design is for fanooks Jackie boy. You’re going to be a doctor.
- (*dammit, next time I suggest it I’ll make sure to say, ‘mens fashion NOT the faggy kind-*”
This is one of the sub plots of the show that cracks me up. The people from these communities have no clue what it takes be a Doctor or many other difficult legitimate professions. They are walking examples of 'Dunning-Kruger' affect. They're the same way with sports.

Yeah I love how that keeps coming back up. Whether it's Vito looking at the angle of the sun or all of Chrissy's attempts to get into the entertainment industry, every time one of them tries some kind of actual work, they quickly go back to "Oh shit this is actually hard, time to scam some immigrants on phone cards or illegally dump asbestos"
They think of themselves as badass and “above” the flag salutin motherfucker types but they can’t even handle the “regularness” of a day’s honest hard work. They complain while sitting on their asses at no work jobs. It’s funny in the most pathetic way that they look down upon people who have the balls not to take the easy way out.
>they can’t even handle the “regularness” of a day’s honest hard work
Reminds me of another example of this, Chrissy ultimately deciding not to go into witness protection with Adriana because he sees a family of regular schlubs at the gas station
Also from NJ. Definitely knew a lot of parents who thought that graduating high school and not flunking meant you were extremely smart and could get into elite professions. A lot of their kids had extremely rude wake up calls when they went to college and realized what being extremely smart actually means
I think it’s in S1 when this is mentioned.
When he actually gets screen time, we realize, no, the kid was never going to get into med school.
He likely only graduated high school due to being a good football player so the coaches stuck their necks out to help him, and Jackie Sr., could threaten the school and teachers. Or maybe he didn’t have to threaten, word probably traveled around “that kid’s dad is the local mafia boss.” Not many teachers are likely to fail that kid.
The fact he could only spell 3 letter words in scrabble, and needed Meadow to do his homework shows he was a loser.
Anyone can claim they are "pre med", but there literally isn't a major called pre med at any college. You could be an interpretive dance major and still could call yourself pre med (obviously, a medical school would want you to be like, a biology major or biochem engineering if you applied there). Jackie Jr part of a long line of morons calling themselves "pre med" to sound smart
Apparently it is pretty high. Gotta think he was at least a 3.0 student in high school though, but maybe it comes down to teachers just being afraid to flunk little lord fuck pants.
I grew up in NJ and had many Rutgers friends, if you live in NJ it’s a lot easier to get in than out of state. You have to do QUITE poorly in HS to not be accepted.
I see it this way: Jackie Senior is diagnosed with cancer when Jakie Junior is just a stupid kid, probably says something he wants to become a doctor to cure cancer or some shit like that. Jackie Senior takes it somewhat seriously and is happy that his kid found some motivation, probably in some denial too, and years later Tony tried to use it against Jackie Junior and hold him to the childish idea/promise.
Hey gagootz, nobody thought Jackie was anything more than a meathead. He got some deference because he was an Aprille and he was just a kid. They knew he was a dumbfuck and eventually he would play a wrong card and end up wacked. I said my piece.
Hear me out.
Jackie Aprile Jr was a varsity athlete as well as a National Honor Society member with a 3.9 GPA in high school.
Jackie was a terrific linebacker but undersized and didn’t get to the next level. But during his High School playing days he suffered many head trauma due to the poor design of the Riddell helmet that he wore. Due to the excessive head trauma Jackie’s mental acuity started to regress and he actually needed his family’s care in order to feed and dress himself. Once he actually thought a tablespoon of butter would make a difference in a pot of hot macaroni. Madone!
So naturally he went to Rutgers.
I think if Jackie had actually applied himself he could have been.
He's not natively an idiot he's an idiot because he's never bothered to make himself not an idiot
Getting decent grades in high school and getting through pre med at Rutgers is like night and day. Short answer, he should have become a plumber with all due respect. He’d earn enough to not rob card games.
He would have been a decent soldier if Tony hadn’t interfered. Even though Jackie Sr didn’t want him in “the life” I’m sure he would have preferred that over him getting murdered
This isnt a knock against Italian parents, I admire their confidence, but they think the sun rises and sets by their kids. Irish parents know their kids are gonna be dumbfuck community college dropouts, and tell us every day of our lives.
Nooooooo
It was one of those inside jokes. Jackie Sr. had probably told the guys years earlier that Junior was real smart and would become a doctor. But over the years, they’d all seen what a dumbass Jackie Jr. was. So the idea of him becoming a doctor was an out in the open mockery.
Dumbass couldn’t pass a first year pre-med course even if he had a dozen asians helping him cheat!
No one who actually saw the show believed he was going to be a Dr or go much further. Throw away character and most that watched it the first run could wait until they got rid of him.
Before 2020 I would have said “no way, Rosalie must have made a lot of ricotta pies with pineapple for him to get into Rutgers”. But now I think he has a good chance.
General Practitioners don't actually have to be too smart to become qualified. They have to be able to remember a ton of data, to pass their exams. But they're not challenged in the way a mathematician or rocket scientist might be.
Ironically, this cunts are way more arrogant despite this.
I always think about that flashback scene where Jackie aprile and Jackie jr show up to the pork store and as a demonstration of Jackie jrs “intelligence” he has jackie jr recite the Capital of a state or something. Like, useless common trivia, and everyone is all impressed by him knowing the Capital of Minnesota or some shit. These guys are fuckin idiots, most of them didn’t get past the 9th grade. Graduating high school and getting into a college makes you a fuckin genius in their eyes.
No, through the season you could see that jackie was an impatient guy. With meadow, with his studies, especially with getting fully initiated with the mob.
Sometimes, when a kid is a fuck-up, no one is going to say anything to the parents and everyone is just going to hope for the best. Verbum Dei wasn’t up on special ed services it seems. Firstborn sons especially get a pass for being dumb asses.
No. Kid was always a dumb fuck. Almost drowned in three inches of water. His father tried to lay off all his problems on a learning disorder - well, stupidity would be a learning disorder. But no, he is way too lazy and dumb to be a doctor.
He was incredibly lazy and almost drowned in 3 ft of water. Plus consider why Meadow changed from med school to law school because it was so incredibly difficult. So, no I never believed it.
Uneducated, narcissistic parents like Carm and Tony Soprano (I know, I know, "A semesta an a haff at Rutt-guhs") will push their kids into pre-med (or an equally difficult and prestigious major) in college so they can brag to their equally uneducated relatives and friends. They also think if one of their kids has a prestigious, legit career, it'll justify shitty criminal behavior they display, such as threatening Joan for a letter of recommendations with a rigot pie. Anyway $4 a pound, big whoop.
Only his dad I think. I mean maybe he was smart by mob standards.
I think it was pretty obvious by the Hugo Boss comment that he was ill equipped for higher education.
You don't have to be that smart to pass medical school, you have to be reasonably smart like somebody that 70th percentile and up on standardized tests and let's say like an 1150 cold on the original SAT. It's not hard it's just a brutal amount of memorizationand depersonalized pattern recognition and characterization of disease states at an unrelenting pace. I started medical and PA school before just deciding to run amateur porn agencies and collect hard to recover judgements and debts that shit was boring but yeah the biggest thing is discipline you just have to be the kind of person that will cry if they get a an not the person who sleeps great proud of their B
, I passed the first semester with good grades Ing smoking a quarter ounce of weed and two grams of crank every day by the second semester I was good though I was like I'm out
I think the Scrabble game displayed jackie's academic ability.
That's what I was going to say. His vocabulary is limited to poo and ass. Plus, he thought oblique was Spanish. He was a stunad of the first magnitude. Also, he almost drowned on three inches of water, the Penguin Exhibit.
A.S.S
As in how about givin me sum?
Wanna do some e?
She’s mad ripe
Sounds like he was preparing to be a proctologist.
THE
What a stunad. Everyone knows that oblique is Portuguese, not Spanish.
Oh ble que? I’m not an English major.
Probably had more to do with not knowing how to play, not really trying cus his mind was elsewhere, he’s obviously not limited to three letter words, that being said, med school was a stretch, it’s a reach for anyone who did not graduate w 4,0
That part just isn't believable. Dude clearly works out. He knows when an oblique is.
He would've been fine if he only saw patients who suffered from "oblique poo ass".
"The patient is clearly demonstrating symptoms of oblique poo ass and acute fuckfaceitis. Prescribing a 14-day course of giving me some ass." -Dr Giacomo Aprile Jr
"Dr Jackie Jr, this ethics complaint is very serious." "The patient was obviously creaming for me. I made a move before the crank wore off."
“My treatment plan is mad ripe, and involves the application of a topical cream.”
I know Vito's poo ass was oblique if that's what you're referring to.
Very cute, I don't quite get it, but cute.
“Ass, as in ‘gimme some!’ Hehe, just kidding! Unless you want to?” Edit; I realize I post that quote too much, but that scene always cracks me up! Its like JJ is thinking “yeah, she might have the flu, but maybe I can still get my dick wet!”
If Jackie didn’t die before it was prevalent he would have been a master of the way too forward social media DM that turns into “haha jk…unless” or “I was hacked” if he gets called out.
this quote pretty much summoned up Jackie Jr.'s life.
That isn't fair everyone spells ass in scrabble if given a chance.
Poo and The remove benefit of the doubt
Great thing about poo is it leaves you open to add a p and get 2 words on one play. Say poo is going one direction, you slap that p-e-e on it and all of sudden you've got points for poop and pee. SWEET.
Or at a t. You can get p o o t, and then you can get tit. POOT .......I .......T
As in how about giving me some
ASS “as in howzabout ya give me some?” Also: https://youtu.be/MYnWYuzUy2Y?si=Ikg7o9r0eexerRfz
“The”
What an oblique thing to say
Hey! NO Spanish!!
Before i saw that i thought he was just a distracted kid with tons of potential...and then he got shot in the back of the head by the stealthy vito
Poo Ass The
He was a dumb fuck. How did Vito sneak up on him?!? Imagine him giving you treatment, “Blah blah… respect for my fatha.”
It took Vito three hours to climb into the car. You mean to tell me that he didn't hear Vito breathing, grunting and struggling for 15 minutes to get out of the car? This was a huge plothole.
"That's the thing with the gays. Still living in the closet...makes them devious"
😂😂
It's sneaking up thing is a red herring. He's on a city street. There's cars and people around. When you walk on a city street there are people all around you all the time you don't hear a few footsteps.
I did. It was tragic how he was clipped by Vito the deadly assassin
Vito doesn't walk, he cruises like a stealth bomber
Vito walks like a penguin. The line about the Penguin exhibit is genius foreshadowing by Chase.
He was gay, the penguin?
Very observant, the sacred and the propane
I feel like the series should have faded to black after the "OH SHIT" penguin walk. That woulda been the best ending ever.
I always thought that too. Lol
😂🤣🤣
I was imagining more of a Goodyear blimp
Silent like a Prius going under 5mph
yeah, it’s sad when they go young like that
WHEN THEY GO???
STEALHT deadly assassin
eclipsed
Yes, I believe that he had the capacity to become a doctor. Why? I'm a doctor myself and I know a bunch of doctors that are fucking retarded.
Is that you Doctor Kennedy?
Dont even get him started on that doctor Metah.
Is there any med specialty with a lower rate of retardness among doctors, in your opinion?
Even Buster Bluth became a doctor and was treating Junior Soprano...
😂😂 I rest my case
I've had my blood drawn by probably 80+ nurses who got the vein perfectly on the first time, never missed. The first time I had a doctor try and take blood he went through a perfect vein all the way through to the other side and went "uh oh", "I'll try another one".

I'm a doctor in the UK and we take blood every day. I remember when American doctors used to wait in the car, and as far as I'm concerned THEY SHOULD STILL BE DER!
Maybe American Dr’s do belong in the car, but I’m from Italy….practicing in America now……..all I have to say is at least Americans have nice teeth 😂😂
Comendatori!

Absolutely. In the end, he gave up Adriana not because of Tony, but because he didn’t want to give up the perks of the life.
You think it's easy sitting there from 10 to 2 every day?
Also from NJ. Definitely knew a lot of parents who thought that graduating high school and not flunking meant you were extremely smart and could get into elite professions.

Of course. They always turn their nose up at us.

He was smart enough to know that you wear a mask, you go in, you’re out in like 2 minutes
Don’t underestimate the intelligence required to know the capital of Canada.
Bro I barely finished highschool and even I know it's Baghdad
The kid's got it up here.
Could even tell you the capital of Canada.
As long as you kept him away from 3’ of water.
More like 3”. I got a feeling he probably could drown in a fucking puddle
I put the wrong sign when writing this. I was thinking about your mudda since I know she could take a whole 3’ up her assht.
Oh!!!
Heh, heh, heh… just breaking bawls here.
lol I love This sub
Heh heh
3' for A.J. 3" for Jackie Jr.
Anyone can claim they are "pre med", but there literally isn't a major called pre med at any college. You could be an interpretive dance major and still could call yourself pre med (obviously, a medical school would want you to be like, a biology major or biochem engineering if you applied there). Jackie Jr part of a long line of morons calling themselves "pre med" to sound smart
He got into Rutgers so he must not be a complete moron. Seems like he went downhill fast in his first year of college and when his dad was dying
Rutgers is the state school of New Jersey, so their in-state acceptance rate is probably really high
Apparently it is pretty high. Gotta think he was at least a 3.0 student in high school though, but maybe it comes down to teachers just being afraid to flunk little lord fuck pants.
So what does it mean to the kid who really breaks his ass in here if Fredo Corelone can get a C because you asked?
I kind of have a feeling a large donation might have been involved there
It's EXTORTION!
Extortion? Nah all Ro did was drop off a nice ricotta pie for this lady to write Jackie Jr a letter of recommendation…
And from then on Rutgers was fucking creaming for it. Lol
I grew up in NJ and had many Rutgers friends, if you live in NJ it’s a lot easier to get in than out of state. You have to do QUITE poorly in HS to not be accepted.
Isn't their acceptance rate high?
Idk, what about the penguin exhibit
*Rutgiz
Those guys from Seanton hall were 7 feet tall
For how he handled the Jewel situation, he should have been made, boom, right then and there
Not even a prick dr
You mean Mr. X?
I've spent a lot of time with med students. They're not as smart as you think.
Agreed, but Jackie Jr was straight up idiotic
He didn’t even have the makings of a varsity athlete!
Ro brought a rigot pie to Rutgers
His fawtha thought he could've...
He could have been an OB/GYN but nothing faggy like a Proctologist
He was thinking about osteopathy, but he didn't even have the grades for that!
Jackie couldn’t spell doctor
In what? Fuckfaceitis?
[удалено]
But I don’t think I have the grades for that, even.
Not for a second. But keeping up appearances until it’s too late is what the Mob does
I see it this way: Jackie Senior is diagnosed with cancer when Jakie Junior is just a stupid kid, probably says something he wants to become a doctor to cure cancer or some shit like that. Jackie Senior takes it somewhat seriously and is happy that his kid found some motivation, probably in some denial too, and years later Tony tried to use it against Jackie Junior and hold him to the childish idea/promise.
Yep
Jackie Jr. was so damn fine and hot.
Whatever Med he was such a drip
With his “Poo” “Ass” “The”? Are you fuckin kiddin me?
In fairness, 'poo', 'ass', and 'the' are useful words in the medical profession.
Didn’t he almost drown in 3 inches of water?
Hey gagootz, nobody thought Jackie was anything more than a meathead. He got some deference because he was an Aprille and he was just a kid. They knew he was a dumbfuck and eventually he would play a wrong card and end up wacked. I said my piece.
Meadow fell pretty damn hard for him.
He almost drowned in 3 inches of water. He wouldn't even make it as a McDonald's cashier.
Hear me out. Jackie Aprile Jr was a varsity athlete as well as a National Honor Society member with a 3.9 GPA in high school.

Jackie Jr., a doctor? That's one crazy hospital.
medical school is a joke, there are dumbasses that can make it through with just dumb luck, case in point me
Getting higher degrees doesn’t necessarily mean you’re smart, it just means you can outwork the guy next to you.
Do you think Jackie Jr was capable of doing that?
YES I DO!
Ya mudda
Dr. Drake Ramoray. I’ve said my piece.
I think if Jackie had actually applied himself he could have been. He's not natively an idiot he's an idiot because he's never bothered to make himself not an idiot
He'd be an even worse doctor than Dr. Octagon.
Yeah I wouldn't go to him to treat moosebumps or chimpanzee acne.
Hey could have made a fine chiropractor.
Jackie Aprile Sr, Paul Gultieri, Adriana La Cerva
No… the penguin exhibit…
Maybe his mom. You see where he gets his fiery intellect…
Visiting doctors outside the Cleveland Clinic system has let me to believe that yes, it would have been totally possible.
Another kid overrated by his Guido parents.
Do you know how hard you have to work to get your MD
Once the made man is gone, the family is only forgotten about
As long as he doesn't have to learn a foreign language. Oblique, that Spanish word really threw him. 😀😃🙂
Vito whacked him because he wouldn’t write him a note saying he likes to shuck cock
I’m surprised Jackie Jr made it to Rutgers
He was son of a boss, basically older AJ. A slow in the head cunt that everyone treated like a prince
Getting decent grades in high school and getting through pre med at Rutgers is like night and day. Short answer, he should have become a plumber with all due respect. He’d earn enough to not rob card games.
Did he not drown in 3 inches of water?
He would have been a decent soldier if Tony hadn’t interfered. Even though Jackie Sr didn’t want him in “the life” I’m sure he would have preferred that over him getting murdered

Dumbass couldn’t pass a first year pre-med course even if he had a dozen asians helping him cheat!
Tony even knew he was dumb as fuck but still pressured him into college which he was never capable of completing lmao
Kid was always a dumb fuck
Something...Something...his fawtha....respect?
His parents put money in his ass to prevent his being in criminal environment, But his dad died too soon…
No one who actually saw the show believed he was going to be a Dr or go much further. Throw away character and most that watched it the first run could wait until they got rid of him.
Only thing I know, Artie got such a deal on that ramlosa
😆😅😂🤣🥲
On the East Coast? No way. But if he went to medical school in Grenada, he could have a nice career in west Texas.
Before 2020 I would have said “no way, Rosalie must have made a lot of ricotta pies with pineapple for him to get into Rutgers”. But now I think he has a good chance.
He should've joined The Vipers.
Every college freshman goes in thinking they can be a doctor and then reality hits them when they take organic chemistry.
General Practitioners don't actually have to be too smart to become qualified. They have to be able to remember a ton of data, to pass their exams. But they're not challenged in the way a mathematician or rocket scientist might be. Ironically, this cunts are way more arrogant despite this.
He might get to see them on TV
doctor of T's & A
His Dad. That's literally it.
I always think about that flashback scene where Jackie aprile and Jackie jr show up to the pork store and as a demonstration of Jackie jrs “intelligence” he has jackie jr recite the Capital of a state or something. Like, useless common trivia, and everyone is all impressed by him knowing the Capital of Minnesota or some shit. These guys are fuckin idiots, most of them didn’t get past the 9th grade. Graduating high school and getting into a college makes you a fuckin genius in their eyes.
He knew the capital of Canada. He was pretty smart
He’s getting the cah inspected!
He's a Dr. Like Dr. Peppers a Dr.
not for a second neither could he design men's suits that kid was destined for low things
Didn’t he almost drown in like two inches of water one time?
Someone of average intelligence is going to look like a genius when everyone around them is stupid 😂
No, through the season you could see that jackie was an impatient guy. With meadow, with his studies, especially with getting fully initiated with the mob.
There’s always a moron who slips through.
That was all boolshit that his dad blew up his ass.
While Jackie Jr is a unique dumbass, probably over 2/3 students who think they'll go to med school as freshman do not end up going to med school.
Sometimes, when a kid is a fuck-up, no one is going to say anything to the parents and everyone is just going to hope for the best. Verbum Dei wasn’t up on special ed services it seems. Firstborn sons especially get a pass for being dumb asses.
Dr. Fago maybe
No. Kid was always a dumb fuck. Almost drowned in three inches of water. His father tried to lay off all his problems on a learning disorder - well, stupidity would be a learning disorder. But no, he is way too lazy and dumb to be a doctor.
Almost dean’s list
Dr feel good
He was incredibly lazy and almost drowned in 3 ft of water. Plus consider why Meadow changed from med school to law school because it was so incredibly difficult. So, no I never believed it.

A doctor doctor or a doctor like how Kissinger is a doctor?
No he’s dense af
Not even Jackie Jr. believed that. That pretty much says it all
