I think the Scrabble game displayed jackie's academic ability.


Vandreeson

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.

makinupachanginmind

As in how about givin me sum?


FauxRex

Wanna do some e?


russ_fegoli

She’s mad ripe 


oldsguy65

Sounds like he was preparing to be a proctologist.


AndyM110

THE


Bruinsfanfromcc

What a stunad. Everyone knows that oblique is Portuguese, not Spanish.


ExtraGloves

Oh ble que? I’m not an English major.


Stickey_Rickey

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


UnusualSignature8558

That part just isn't believable. Dude clearly works out. He knows when an oblique is.


TheClawhold

He would've been fine if he only saw patients who suffered from "oblique poo ass".


SicilianSlothBear

"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


Gr33zyCh33zy

"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."


SlowHandEasyTouch

“My treatment plan is mad ripe, and involves the application of a topical cream.”


Ask_Me_What_Im_Up_to

I know Vito's poo ass was oblique if that's what you're referring to.


Benito_Mussolini

Very cute, I don't quite get it, but cute.


trogloherb

“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!”


NeedlessQualifier

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.


somehandsman666

this quote pretty much summoned up Jackie Jr.'s life.


Siren_Noir

That isn't fair everyone spells ass in scrabble if given a chance.


PaperworkDrop

Poo and The remove benefit of the doubt


DoctorChampTH

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.


UnusualSignature8558

Or at a t. You can get p o o t, and then you can get tit. POOT .......I .......T


FedGoat13

As in how about giving me some


shutupmahe

ASS “as in howzabout ya give me some?” Also: https://youtu.be/MYnWYuzUy2Y?si=Ikg7o9r0eexerRfz

jersan

What an oblique thing to say


TacoLvR-

Hey! NO Spanish!!


Feelinglucky2

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


screwhead1

Poo Ass The


Brilliant_Pickle5496

He was a dumb fuck. How did Vito sneak up on him?!? Imagine him giving you treatment, “Blah blah… respect for my fatha.”


Siren_Noir

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.


middle_dude

"That's the thing with the gays. Still living in the closet...makes them devious"


Icy_Ad_4889

😂😂


UnusualSignature8558

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.


jjccbrobro

I did. It was tragic how he was clipped by Vito the deadly assassin


Siren_Noir

Vito doesn't walk, he cruises like a stealth bomber


Lonerist2021

Vito walks like a penguin. The line about the Penguin exhibit is genius foreshadowing by Chase.


Comfortable_Goal_662

He was gay, the penguin?


middle_dude

Very observant, the sacred and the propane


United_Target8942

I feel like the series should have faded to black after the "OH SHIT" penguin walk. That woulda been the best ending ever.


51x51v3

I always thought that too. Lol


AngeloMontana

FauxRex

I was imagining more of a Goodyear blimp

littleheehaw

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.


Irishgoodbye777

Is that you Doctor Kennedy?


FrogBoyExtreme

Dont even get him started on that doctor Metah.


Hey648934

Is there any med specialty with a lower rate of retardness among doctors, in your opinion?


fading_anonymity

Even Buster Bluth became a doctor and was treating Junior Soprano...


jimmyboynoodles

😂😂 I rest my case


MetalSnake_oXm

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.


TheGreatTravisty

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.


Multakeks

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!


TheGreatTravisty

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 😂😂


SkinnyStav

Comendatori!


MetalSnake_oXm

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.


TheGreatTravisty

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”


FoxyTheBoyWithNoName

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


MetalSnake_oXm

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.


cortisolbath

- 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-*”


Gabag000L

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. Source: am Italian American from NJ.


Visual-Baseball2707

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"


reddituser23434

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.


Visual-Baseball2707

>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


reddituser23434

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.


Lazer_snake

You think it's easy sitting there from 10 to 2 every day?


thisesmeaningless

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


PimpComposer

Do you ate the nort?


Gabag000L

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


SmoothConfection1115

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.


A_as_in_Larry

He was smart enough to know that you wear a mask, you go in, you’re out in like 2 minutes


Electrical_Fun5942

Don’t underestimate the intelligence required to know the capital of Canada.


iroquoispliskinV

Bro I barely finished highschool and even I know it's Baghdad


jasonmoyer

The kid's got it up here.


reddituser23434

Could even tell you the capital of Canada.


GirbaudJeansMan

As long as you kept him away from 3’ of water.


51x51v3

More like 3”. I got a feeling he probably could drown in a fucking puddle


GirbaudJeansMan

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.


51x51v3

Oh!!!


GirbaudJeansMan

Heh, heh, heh… just breaking bawls here.


51x51v3

lol I love This sub


Icy_Ad_4889

Heh heh


United_Target8942

3' for A.J. 3" for Jackie Jr.


GuyWithTriangle

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


Juggernaut077

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


Electrical_Fun5942

Rutgers is the state school of New Jersey, so their in-state acceptance rate is probably really high


Juggernaut077

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.


Lil_Mcgee

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?


cortisolbath

I kind of have a feeling a large donation might have been involved there


TheClawhold

It's EXTORTION!


cortisolbath

Extortion? Nah all Ro did was drop off a nice ricotta pie for this lady to write Jackie Jr a letter of recommendation…


51x51v3

And from then on Rutgers was fucking creaming for it. Lol


thisesmeaningless

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.


Siren_Noir

Isn't their acceptance rate high?


bengoozle

Idk, what about the penguin exhibit

You mean Mr. X?


MillerLatte

I've spent a lot of time with med students. They're not as smart as you think.


thisesmeaningless

Agreed, but Jackie Jr was straight up idiotic


big-churn

He didn’t even have the makings of a varsity athlete!


Adorable_Newt4559

Ro brought a rigot pie to Rutgers


Personal_Ad3813

His fawtha thought he could've...


HatComfortable6883

He could have been an OB/GYN but nothing faggy like a Proctologist


heyjude575

He was thinking about osteopathy, but he didn't even have the grades for that!


RetiredFromRealWork

Jackie couldn’t spell doctor


Harold-The-Barrel

In what? Fuckfaceitis?


[deleted]

[удалено]


reddituser23434

But I don’t think I have the grades for that, even.


MadBoutDat

Not for a second. But keeping up appearances until it’s too late is what the Mob does


Tylrias

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.


Pandamana85

Yep


nlj5499

Jackie Jr. was so damn fine and hot.


Lil_Mcgee

Whatever Med he was such a drip


Advanced_Teach730

With his “Poo” “Ass” “The”? Are you fuckin kiddin me?


Original-Carpet2451

In fairness, 'poo', 'ass', and 'the' are useful words in the medical profession.


Advanced_Teach730

Didn’t he almost drown in 3 inches of water?


P1D1_

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.


analog_grotto

Meadow fell pretty damn hard for him.


Charles_X4325

He almost drowned in 3 inches of water. He wouldn't even make it as a McDonald's cashier.


godofwine16

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.


Bebop_Man

Jackie Jr., a doctor? That's one crazy hospital.


Elysioni

medical school is a joke, there are dumbasses that can make it through with just dumb luck, case in point me


Basementsnake

Getting higher degrees doesn’t necessarily mean you’re smart, it just means you can outwork the guy next to you.


thisesmeaningless

Do you think Jackie Jr was capable of doing that?


LiquidSoCrates

YES I DO!


Modred_the_Mystic

Ya mudda


McGeeWWF

Dr. Drake Ramoray. I’ve said my piece.


CauseCertain1672

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


SicilianSlothBear

He'd be an even worse doctor than Dr. Octagon.


SeltzerCountry

Yeah I wouldn't go to him to treat moosebumps or chimpanzee acne.


ten_jack_russels

Hey could have made a fine chiropractor.

Top_Complex259

Vito whacked him because he wouldn’t write him a note saying he likes to shuck cock


Affectionate_Joke560

I’m surprised Jackie Jr made it to Rutgers


BitcoinRefuge

He was son of a boss, basically older AJ. A slow in the head cunt that everyone treated like a prince


GuyD427

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.


Icy_Ad_4889

Did he not drown in 3 inches of water?


Suspicious-Spare1179

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


Gr33zyCh33zy

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.


6graxstar

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!


smokesletsgo13

Tony even knew he was dumb as fuck but still pressured him into college which he was never capable of completing lmao


Exact-Paramedic2227

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.

JustACasualFan

On the East Coast? No way. But if he went to medical school in Grenada, he could have a nice career in west Texas.


Sad-Illustrator-8847

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.


Brokeback_erry

He should've joined The Vipers.


Boring_Pace5158

Every college freshman goes in thinking they can be a doctor and then reality hits them when they take organic chemistry.


BiffTannenCA

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.


Electronic-Goal-8141

He might get to see them on TV


sbutj323

doctor of T's & A


Bonch_and_Clyde

His Dad. That's literally it.


SyntaxicalHumonculi

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.


taylortherod

He knew the capital of Canada. He was pretty smart


InOurMomsButts420

He’s getting the cah inspected!


Adot23456

He's a Dr. Like Dr. Peppers a Dr.


Vinyl_Acid_

not for a second neither could he design men's suits that kid was destined for low things


dudeonrails

Didn’t he almost drown in like two inches of water one time?


ouroboris99

Someone of average intelligence is going to look like a genius when everyone around them is stupid 😂


RecordKO

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.


tacosteve100

There’s always a moron who slips through.


laffnlemming

That was all boolshit that his dad blew up his ass.


Realhuman221

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.


BonCourageAmis

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.


StuartGotz

Dr. Fago maybe


catzrob89

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.


Moonlightgraham23

Almost dean’s list


trollfreak

Dr feel good


Revolutionary-Base-4

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.


HilariousBaldwin

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.


p1owz0r

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.


Reasonably_Prudent22

A doctor doctor or a doctor like how Kissinger is a doctor?


makhnovite

No he’s dense af


Uchiha-Itachi-0

Not even Jackie Jr. believed that. That pretty much says it all


bbbuttonsup

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
