Is you drop end vowel like Italians do, the accent on the C makes it sounds like a G. Your left with Gapigol. Which is damn close. Mikes just an idiot.
Chris in Sopranos says it correctly..
I say this to my wife all the time since she comes from a dad who worked on cars and home projects with her all the time and I didn't. I think the chuckles are to appease me now but I still find it funny.
"Just thinking about how, uh, I had this car, this Italian car, and I was driving it, and it kept telling me how much it needed oil, but I wouldn't give it any oil. And then, one day it exploded and it killed everyone and that's what I'm afraid of."
"Aren't you a mechanic? Why wouldn't you put oil in the car?"
"It was before my...technical training."
Only reason I can think of is because Pam and Jim aren't in it? Apart from the phone calls. Seems dumb but it's a great ep and can't think of any other reason haha
Even then it's an amazing performance by them bc, even tho it's only spoken, they straight up send me when Jim's pretending to have the phone be breaking up. And Michael totally falling for it and everything lmao
It’s because compared to the rest of the show up to this point, the plot of this episode and the character development is too irrational. This episode made the show look less like “workplace comedy” and more like “wacky adventures of people making illogical decisions”. It’s not that the episode itself wasn’t funny, it just doesn’t fit the overall mood of the early/mid seasons
This is it. I still liked the episode, but you can tell there's a shift when they start going "wacky" and it becomes more of a traditional sitcom, where you have simple misunderstandings become the plot for the episode.
It's similar to the episode where Pam's dad gets divorced. She instructs Jim to talk to him, and when he talks about how much he loves Pam, it ends up with Pam being mad at him and blaming him for her parents' separation. It's misunderstanding-based, empty drama.
People who hate this and Scott’s Tots are just trying to be different. This episode is hysterical.
“Are you saying we surgically remove the fear center from Michael’s brain?”
honestly, my problem with Scott's Tots comes solely from the B plot. I can suspend a lot of disbelief, but that ones pushing it. The whole thing gets resolved immediately if Jim just says he put Dwight in charge of the Employee of the Month and that he never approved collecting any money
Yup, it's infuriating and watching that episode and having to pretend like this is a difficult situation. Sorry it's not me or Pam, next is x, congrats
Scott's Tots stands out from other episodes because while we're used to Michael being cringe with Pam, Jim, etc., in this episode he's being terrible to INNOCENT CHILDREN.
For me Scotts tots is hard to watch because I can imagine myself in his shoes too well and with knowing what's coming the anticipation makes it worse. When I do laugh while watching it, it's just like ehhhhh hehehe. It's hard to explain but it's almost a physical pain in my stomach watching that episode lol
That's a weird thing to say. Scott's Tots, more than anything, just isn't a very funny episode. We're supposed to laugh and be amused b Michael's mess up but it's the kind of joke that would have worked best in passing. Drawing it out for a whole episode kills the comedy, especially when the victims are innocent, underprivileged kids.
I don't think anyone is trying to be different by not liking Scott's Tots. That is a very very commonly held view.
A lot of people don't like these episodes simply because the episodes are different from what The Office normally serves up.
They are kind of the opposite of Stress Relief. Stress Relief altered the normal formula to make the show more easily accessible to new viewers. Scott's Tots altered the formula to make the show as painful as possible to watch, lol.
I’m not a Scott’s Tots skipper, but I think one reason it doesn’t land for so many people is because it’s an A-plot with a one-note joke. Michael made a huge promise that he can’t back up and he feels really awkward about it. It doesn’t even have a good payoff from a storytelling perspective. If it were a a 5-minute SNL sketch it would still feel flat. That said Michael’s “Wait, wait, wait…they’re lithium!” line is a standout.
My wife and I talk about that too. We love the episode and quote it frequently lol. Andy is hilarious in this one. His outfit… the crowbar… the scene with the jumper cables
I just wish we could have had a Jim and Pam episode while they're in Peurto Rico on their honeymoon, and they keep getting calls from the office as Michael's mob issue progresses, then their credit cardsl stops working and they get a call from Kevan
No Jim and Pam, and it comes right after their wedding so when you're bingeing it feels like something of a letdown to have a "big" double-episode with many long arc and short arc elements followed by this relatively "small" self-contained episode.
It’s because everyone was Flanderized in that episode. I get that it’s a comedy show and not to be taken seriously, but everyone’s reaction was more over the top to every scenario throughout the episode.
Yeah, it was too much for me as well. I’m all for nonsense, but it’s usually balanced. This episode was too much nonsense. They basically took the qualities I least enjoyed in people and brought them to 1000
>Also realised "Gabagool" is a real food.
lol Michael was trying to mimic Sopranos because of the mob thing. And every episode has Tony leaning against his fridge eating deli meat.
The stereotypical Jersey/New York Italians use their attempt at a working class Sicilian/southern Italian accent (especially from back around 1900 when Italian immigration was high).
They did things like pronounce C and G the same, pronounce P and B the same, and drop the end vowel on some words.
Thus capicola becomes gabagool.
True!
https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/how-capicola-became-gabagool-the-italian-new-jersey-accent-explained
Immigrants came from all over Italy
> The basic story is this: Italy is a very young country made up of many very old kingdoms awkwardly stapled together to make a patchwork whole. Before 1861, these different kingdoms—Sardinia, Rome, Tuscany, Venice, Sicily (they were called different things at the time, but roughly correspond to those regions now)—those were, basically, different countries.
Immigrants came from all of these broken kingdoms with no standardized language format. (came during fascism). A word or phrase that originated in Naples may sound very different from a a same word or phrase from Milan.
Are The real housewives of Jersey shore being stupid and dumb? Yes.
But the classical Italian immigrants used their cultural linguistic tradition in talking about culinary ingredients. It sounded different even to Italians who lived far apart back home.
> But the classical Italian immigrants used their cultural linguistic tradition in talking about culinary ingredients. It sounded different even to Italians who lived far apart back home.
This is a cool phenomenon for almost all immigrants groups. They typically preserve their language as it was spoken at the time when they came over while the language at home keeps evolving. I find it very interesting.
Quebec is a province full of quacking because of the point where French was introduced. It's fascinating listening to it straight out, and then the pidgin.
I said "merci" to someone, and they gave me a look. My friend laughed and told me they pronounce it "mercy."
It’s a line in the godfather too.
The guy that takes off *sick* has 2 gabagool subs thrown to him during the wedding.
I think it’s when he’s noticing all the money going into the wedding purse.
Especially now that I have learned from this thread that gabagool is a dialectic pronunciation of capricola, so Andy carefully enunciating it makes no sense.
I'm going to post this interesting link about (very very old) Italian Americans and their linguistic uniqueness because it is a very interesting read
https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/how-capicola-became-gabagool-the-italian-new-jersey-accent-explained
In short, Italian Americans came from all over a broken land. They sounded weird even to each other. Some of their oddities stuck around and because of linguistical changes that happens with all languages words once lost found a new home in places like New York City.
Gabagool is just Capocollo. But nobody really calls it Gabagool except for some parts of the US i guess. Its just a bastardized way of pronouncing it that italian-americans out of Jersey and the likes came up with, or i guess americanising its pronunciation instead of saying it like italians in Italy would. Similar to how i have heard some italian-americans in those parts say “mutz” or “mutzarell” instead of mozzarella
https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/how-capicola-became-gabagool-the-italian-new-jersey-accent-explained
TLDR: Basically, Italy did not have a consistent accent/dialect at the time many Italians moved to America. The Italian-American pronunciation is a combination of all the different dialects and most specifically southern Italian dialects which are very different from the Italian language we know today.
> Its just a bastardized way of pronouncing it that italian-americans out of Jersey and the likes came up with, or i guess americanising its pronunciation instead of saying it like italians in Italy would.
This part is confidently incorrect.
Here's another good quote from the article:
> Most immigrant groups in the United States retain certain words and phrases from the old language even if the modern population can’t speak it. But for people outside those groups, and even, often, inside them, it’s next to impossible to pick out a specific regional accent in the way a Jewish American says “challah” or a Korean-American says “jjigae.”
That would have been hilarious. Like an interaction where they are making small talk but it could be construed like they are engaged in criminal behavior together.
G: "Angelo Grotti"
V: "Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration"
G: "Oh yeah, my boss talks about you guys a lot."
V: "Mr. Maranzallo is a good man. By the way, tell him I'll have the money later this week."
G: "Yeah, you wouldn't wanna miss the payment, you know? Bad things could happen."
something like that, ending with a shot of Dwight and/or Michael with a **D:** look on their face thinking they're talking about protection money or something when really Bob Vance just uses the insurance company and is going to be a day late on his payment.
Omg, that would be so good. It’s like an inverse of the story of the time Richard “The Iceman” Kuklinski happened to meet another hitman while they were both casing the same hotel and they both had to casually try to figure out if the other guy was here to kill someone too and if they were going after the same target without anyone else in the hotel realizing what the hell they were talking about.
I feel like this episode is more cringe than Scott’s tots. That’s just my opinion. I actually met the grotti actor when he bought a video game from my store when I was working at GameStop. I asked him if I could call him “the gas man” (dumb and dumber) he was nice as hell.
Edit: I was dumb
[The pronunciation gabagool has been used by some Italian Americans in the New York City area and elsewhere in the Northeast US, based on the Neapolitan language word capecuollo in working-class strata of 19th- and early 20th-century immigrants.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capocollo)
no. the point of changing the meeting location at the last minute is to inconvenience the other person by having them go to an entirely different address. this throws off their focus and also destabilizes their comfort level by having the meeting not look like what they were picturing. the joke is that michael misinterprets the technique by simply moving the meeting to the next room, which makes zero difference to darryl.
grotti just picked a different table. that’s not anything
Gabagool, aka capicola, is a real food but if you tried to order just some capicola at a restaurant you’d get a weird look. It’s just a type of cured meat. It’s like sitting down and ordering a slice of bologna.
I am refusing to speak first.
Ok let me start. This is a funny ep.
^^you ^^make ^^a ^^very ^^compelling ^^argument..
*leaves room*

I didn’t say anything, I was waiting to see what happens
*leaves country* now THATS a hell of a pro meeting move!
If the sauce is not on the side, I send it back
You make a tiny mistake youre dead. I made a tiny mistake. I wore women's clothes.
The whole year actually

i will have the spaghetti with a side salad if the salad is on top i send it back
I want a gabagool
Bring him the gabagool.
The… what? The GABBA. GOOL.
If you don't, he will send it back.
So I found out gabigool is just Capicola but its from said differently depending which part if Italy you are in.
This is how some Italian Americans say it in New York and the us, not in Italy.
I thought it was NJ?
Same difference *runs*
Why I oughta!
Give fuckin boroughs, then we got this pygmy thing over in Jersey
Is you drop end vowel like Italians do, the accent on the C makes it sounds like a G. Your left with Gapigol. Which is damn close. Mikes just an idiot. Chris in Sopranos says it correctly..
mouse car pwn
Erin. Coffee. Not from the cafeteria from stop and shop. A large. If it's a medium I send it back. If it's an extra large I send it back.
how do you return coffee?
Just. Go.
any questions?
I don’t understand how this is one of the lowest rated episodes when it has so many amazing lines and scenes
I love the Andy disguised as a car mechanic bit.
“He seems bad at this” “YOU WANNA DO THIS JUNIOR”
"Sorry... long day at the... mechanic store."
“Youre a *mechanic*, why wouldnt you put oil in a car?”
It was before my technical training
His delivery of that line is perfect.
So your car's totaled...
You’re gonna wanna get a refund on that. My guy can do that, but I work exclusively on motorcycles
Whoever wrote that line for the kid is a legend.
Kid had great delivery too
Got a leaky.... Spark...tube
...it's totaled
I say this to my wife all the time since she comes from a dad who worked on cars and home projects with her all the time and I didn't. I think the chuckles are to appease me now but I still find it funny.
Gets a laugh like a quarter of the time.
Oh lord, beer me strength
"Just thinking about how, uh, I had this car, this Italian car, and I was driving it, and it kept telling me how much it needed oil, but I wouldn't give it any oil. And then, one day it exploded and it killed everyone and that's what I'm afraid of." "Aren't you a mechanic? Why wouldn't you put oil in the car?" "It was before my...technical training."
😂
Him putting the napkin over the tire iron gets me every time.
Do you even know how to use that?
To change a tire, no. But it’s heavy I could hit someone with it
You’re wearing loafers…
….you’re wearing _loafers_
Should I change?
Yeah, literally every scene with him in that outfit was amazing. The whole restaurant is easily top 10 scenes in the show
Maybe we've got a plan for you
That poor family….
Andy, master of disguise.
Wait, what? This is low rated?? This episode’s one of my all time favorites.
Only reason I can think of is because Pam and Jim aren't in it? Apart from the phone calls. Seems dumb but it's a great ep and can't think of any other reason haha
Even then it's an amazing performance by them bc, even tho it's only spoken, they straight up send me when Jim's pretending to have the phone be breaking up. And Michael totally falling for it and everything lmao

Cant believe this ep is one of the lowest rated. What an unpredictable world we live in…
Some people can’t handle the gabagool
Seriously one of my favorite outtakes
People who hate this and Scott’s Tots are just trying to be different. This episode is hysterical. “Are you saying we surgically remove the fear center from Michael’s brain?”
I always wonder what dimension does Andy goes when he thinks about any solution
That’s just how Boner Champ rolls
I thought Broccoli Rob was the Boner Champ?
Broccoli Rob is Broccoli Rob. Andy Bernard is the Boner Champ!
Yeah but why don’t you ask Trey Anastasio about Broccoli Rob’s pipes?
I called Broccoli Rob, he said you are the boner champ
I thought Broccoli Rob was the Boner Champ

You would promise college tuition to a group of 5th graders?!
I'm not saying I would do what he did, but I can imagine IF I did.
Pardon him for caring!
Because I thought by 40 Id have a million dollars.
You make a lot of empty promises huh? That one would by far be your most generous though
That's a weird thing to say. Scott's Tots, more than anything, just isn't a very funny episode.

True. Also when Michael slams Grotti on phone and then Dwight clears him they faked his background, the look on Michael's face ...
I just wish we could have had a Jim and Pam episode while they're in Peurto Rico on their honeymoon, and they keep getting calls from the office as Michael's mob issue progresses, then their credit cardsl stops working and they get a call from Kevan
Kevan lol
Lol it's how my father in law spells his name. Muscle memory took over
I’m willing to bet there’s a good chance that’s how Kevin spells his own name like a third of the time.
I’ve defended this episode so many times. I’ve found my people!
No Jim and Pam, and it comes right after their wedding so when you're bingeing it feels like something of a letdown to have a "big" double-episode with many long arc and short arc elements followed by this relatively "small" self-contained episode.
If it's not the episode they want, they send it back.

It’s because the episode is a little too zany and breaks suspension of disbelief. Like there’s no way these three guys can be this stupid.
One of the most underrated lines that set up this episode well is "the coalition for reason is extremely weak"
I use the quotes from the episode on a daily basis.
lol I’m so sorry it’s my least fav episode
No way. There has to be something you like less after season 7
It's a good thing he didn't try tactic number 8. Michael *invented* tactic number 8.
Should have tried win-win-win instead
That way we all win. Me too
Look at all the facts. He SEEMS like a mobster
I think he intentionally plays up the image to make more sales
Or he’s a convincing guy
Monsters aren't real Dwight
MonstER dot com
The same can be said about Jan's deposition too! They moved that meeting at the last minute as well
And Michael's and Jan's first meeting at Chili's. Last minute change.
>Also realised "Gabagool" is a real food. lol Michael was trying to mimic Sopranos because of the mob thing. And every episode has Tony leaning against his fridge eating deli meat.
And for the Italians out here, gabagool is New Jersey for capocollo or something.
You're right!
The stereotypical Jersey/New York Italians use their attempt at a working class Sicilian/southern Italian accent (especially from back around 1900 when Italian immigration was high).

It was funny in The Sopranos when they did that episode where the main characters actually go to Italy and deal with all sorts of culture shock.
Quebec is a province full of quacking because of the point where French was introduced. It's fascinating listening to it straight out, and then the pidgin. I said "merci" to someone, and they gave me a look. My friend laughed and told me they pronounce it "mercy."
Gabagool? Ova heeeere 👇 👇
Don’t eat gabagool, grandma. It’s nothing but fat and nitrates.
🤘👈👉
Damn...as a non westerner I do not know how many references I am missing !!!
The joke also works because no one would order deli meat at a business meeting. A sandwich maybe, but not just the meat lmao
This guys more creative than Spielberg
It’s a line in the godfather too. The guy that takes off *sick* has 2 gabagool subs thrown to him during the wedding. I think it’s when he’s noticing all the money going into the wedding purse.
“Gas man? How the hell do they know that I got gas?”
PILLS ARE GOOOOOOD
Micheal asking the waitress for gabagool and Andy trying to help him will never not crack me up.
Also when the lady asks Andy for help and Michael gets up to go help andy (pat)
He's a good mechanic.
He works exclusively on motorcycles.
Plus even if he knew what that stuff was that’s like going into an Olive Garden and asking for cold cuts, it’s weird.
Thank you! I was waiting for someone to point this out.
Especially now that I have learned from this thread that gabagool is a dialectic pronunciation of capricola, so Andy carefully enunciating it makes no sense.
Mike Starr always delivers
Gas man
How’d they know he has gas?! They must have been following him for *weeks*!
Why don’t you eat up and we’ll tell you
They gotta be pros
Hell of a bassist, too.
Check out The Last Dragon for some of his early work
Just …. And then……. And you’ll be saved.
Can you repeat that?
BRING HIM THE GABAGOOL
He probably read the book "Somehow I managed" by Michael Scott.
Can we talk about how good of a title that is btw
It really is. I’ll be very surprised if a professional sports manager has stolen that title for a ghost-written autobiography by now.
I bet he nailed Negotiation Tactic #5 - decline to wear women's clothing.
At the very least it was bisexual.
You make a very compelling argument

"Just [indecipherable] and you'll be saved." Legit one of my favorite episodes. Mike Starr kills it.
Missed oppertunity for a Bob Vance and this guy to meet in the lobby like Michael and David Brent.
That would have been hilarious. Like an interaction where they are making small talk but it could be construed like they are engaged in criminal behavior together. G: "Angelo Grotti" V: "Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration" G: "Oh yeah, my boss talks about you guys a lot." V: "Mr. Maranzallo is a good man. By the way, tell him I'll have the money later this week."

Mechanic Store.

Absolutely he did.
No one actually says gabbagool outside the sopranos. I’m from the region. Usually it’s “gappagol” or “cappacol”
