[edit] William Williams

Is William Williams really Fat Tony's proper name?

I just assumed it was just a bad attempt at a un-Italian pseudonym so as not to arouse suspicion.


Is his name based on Tony Soprano?


What about the mobster Toni Cipriani from GTA 3? 80.178.211.85 4 July 2005 10:52 (UTC)

Nope, Fat Tony predates GTA3 by far. krikkert 10 July 2005 01:08 CEST(GMT+2)
He likewise predates The Sopranos by several years. DS 22:31, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
I think the initial questions are evidence of the generation that's grown up with the show - unable to remember a time when there wasn't a Simpsons. PMA 00:06, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Quotes

  • @JP: Well, I just assumed that with the advent of Wikiquote, and the advice to give information that one would expect to find in an encyclopaedia, a quote repository would be what Wikipedia is not. It doesn't say that anywhere there though - I'm going to go inquire at the Pump or Help or somewhere similar.

[edit] The Godfather

Shouldn't we mention something about him and his antics being an obvious parody of the Godfather? Not only did he once mention that he cried when he paid to see Godfather III, his son's name is Michael. 24.63.237.46 16:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

He cannot be named after Tony Soprano or Tony C. from GTA 3 becasue he appeared in his first episode in the early or mid 1990's before that game and show existed He was named after Anthony" Fat Tony" Salerno the boss of the Genovease CRime Family in the '70s

William Williams is already mentioned in the article text and is not his "official" name. PMA 13:59, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Episodes

The list of the episodes Fat Tony appears seems to be incomplete. At least the episode Homer vs. The Eighteenth Amendment is missing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.81.5.166 (talk • contribs) 18:41, 3 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Catholic

Someone removed that he was a catholic, yet he is seen in the Catholic church. Should we include this?

[edit] Cousin Wario?

Anyone else think this is odd? Fat Tony and Wario are from two different companies, and as such are officially in two different universes. Should this be changed? - ~VNinja~ 00:22, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
