The Complete Fat Tony Simpsons Timeline

On The Simpsons Theory, we look at the entire life and timeline of Fat Tony, Springfield's gangster. Voiced by Joe Mantegna, from The Godfather, we look at this Simpsons character history. Taking a look at the full Simpsons episodes, I've put Fat Tony's Simpson's life in chronological order. From season 1 to The Simpsons season 34 with a little help from Legs, Louis and Johnny Tightlips.

[@DanielLopez-cy2tq]

Duff man. He makes laugh every time plus I was him for Halloween 3 years ago

[@tristan_ellis]

Homer

[@LowellLucasJr.]

Favorites?Hank Scorpio, Side Show Bob, Dr. Hibbert, Krusty, Fat Tony, Mindy, Lorlain Lumpkins, The Sea Captain and Capital City Goofball!

[@everyonewantshimthatwasmycrime]

edna krabappel forever & always… rip💔

[@AmatMiguel]

Fat Tony is honestly one of the best characters The Simpsons team ever made. Even when killing him off, they knew never to truly keep him off the show

[@livefromBremenMusicSM]

What about Johnny tight lips ? I won’t say nothing !!!😅

[@lanternsown3525]

I Love Joe Mantegna as a Character Actor he has never given a bad performance once, He really brings the character life and makes him more then just a cliche Mob Boss.

[@restionSerpentine]

"Whacked by Natural Causes" has to be one of my favorite lines of the series up there with "Marge it takes two to lie, one to lie, and one to listen." Funny you mention Selma's Marriage to Troy, Because in a Fish called Selma It is the only time Joe Mantegna Did not voice the character. Afterwards, he approached them and said, "Look even if you just want him to cough, call me I'll do it." You mention his Name as Marion D'Amico, But his name was originaly William Williams in his first appeance in season 3 My favorite character... Lenny

[@fryingpanjim]

Can we just appreciate all the hard work The Simpsons theory puts in to make us entertained every week. She has to watch Simpsons episodes, find clips and edit. Thank you.

[@TheSimpsonsTheory]

Thanks for watching, Jim!

[@tristan_ellis]

@@TheSimpsonsTheory hello

[@marybaru3495]

Yes hello

[@SamWinchester000]

It's not that she wouldn't love to watch so much Simpsons 😄

[@EmilyMae]

@@SamWinchester000 I was going to make a similar comment 😂 my fellow supernatural fan

[@MrTARDIS]

"I don't get it. Everyone love rats, but they don't want to drink the rats' milk?"

[@Polycomical]

"You mean the mob only did a favour so I'd do one in return? For shame Fat Tony" Fat Tony is class. As for fave characters, it's hard as you've got 30 years' worth to choose from. That being said my picks would include Troy McClure, Hank Scorpio, Sideshow Bob, Edna Krapabbel and the "YESSSS" man.

[@JoshRazauskas]

Fat Tony is to me a character who is even still underrated! Great choice for your favorite character Lydia! Fabulous job as always!

[@slanetroyard92]

Great work as always Lydia. Fat Tony was alright guy in my book. He taught Bart how to bartend and even a lesson that crime isn't Great. Plus not many can say they can go toe to toe with the yakuza.

[@dakotasavage2192]

The voice of him actually plays Rossi on criminal minds

[@MillhouseSpeaks]

Please do the family tree of Ned Flanders! He must have a fascinating family tree seeing all his family from around the world at the BBQ scene not to mention the Flanders who smokes weed

[@NoirRose21]

That family definitely looks too alike. Incest?

[@DanielLopez-cy2tq]

Glad this came on now I can listen to this while I'm at work. Have a great new years everybody

[@TheSimpsonsTheory]

Happy New Years, and hope your work goes OK!

[@timoteolafrance6805]

I am watching The Godfather 2 and watching this video during the commercial breaks. Just found your channel.

[@thegingergyrl455]

Maggie will always be my favorite. Just a bit of why is demonstrated in this video. 👍🏻

[@seankidwell8208]

I love the line where Homer says You mean the Mob only did me a favor to get something in return? Oh, Fat Tony! I will say good day to you, sir.

[@themarcai6394]

One of my favorite lines in the entire show

[@funtimedreadbearstudios5402]

YESSSS IT'S FAT TONY I'm happy that he's your favorite and I'm more happy you made a timeline for him:D

[@beatlemaniac]

Mr Burns will always be my favourite

[@Dare5358]

Totally agree about the "fit Tony" thing. In my head, it just didn't happen, was not canon.

[@chimyacraig9986]

Am I the only one who got the notification and rushed to KZbin so quick😅 I love these timeline videos

[@TheSimpsonsTheory]

Thanks for watching! 💛

[@RussianJackal]

So many legitimately great moments and one-liners from Tony… - nunchuck strike to the mug, a split second moment of not so much pain, as surprise and annoyance - “Come here you little squi’t!…..” Favorite character - probably Moe. Even as a young kid I instantly connected with him, as I myself am generally annoyed and unlucky, but do tend to hide a kinder side. Plus I always had a thing for loser characters like Meg Griffin, Bud Bundy or Neville Longbottom. They almost never get things handed to them, and the rare occasions in which they come out on top are incredibly satisfying because it is always through hard work and self development.

[@FujikkoJP]

*My favorite line when fat tony says heeey wait a minut.*

[@kellenadams]

sideshow bob is definitely my favorite character! such a charming (& crazy) personality

[@KUUSproductions]

Thanks for the video! I hope you had a great christmas!

[@EBThisThat]

I’m a mafia movie buff and am absolutely obsessed with the Life. I have written about it on a number of occasions and am a subscriber to Michael Francese. This man is a jewel, you would love him. He was a Mob Boss but got out and lived to tell the tale.

[@everyonewantshimthatwasmycrime]

hi! can you do a timeline on miss hoover? i think she’s a really underrated character who deserves some more recognition

[@seanicus100]

I realized recently that she originally had a New England accent, then lost it. She's a weirdly undeveloped character, especially considering how much airtime Skinner and Krabapel and even Willie got.

[@LowellLucasJr.]

Hell Yeah Lydia! Fat Tony is a personal fave too! An awesome character I can't get enough of! His charisma is only matched by Kelsy Grammar! Now allow my associates to escort you out! " Legs, Louie...advance on them!"

[@WelshGiraffa]

Fat Tony is in my top 3 with his own comedic moments and how surprising he’s quite benevolent of a Mob Boss despite the amount of times he’s had Frankie the Squealer sleep with the fishes and threatened many members of the Springfield Community

[@michaelg3558]

Have a Great New Years I love enjoy your videos with you Lydia.

[@Murzonia]

I enjoy watching these videos Lydia! And have a happy new year!🎊

[@rodan9773]

My fav Characters are two equally. HOMER & SIDESHOW BOB. Respect and keep up the epic work.

[@SamWinchester000]

Now, the third time watching one of your videos, I had to leave a subscription for such a cool channel with passion, and I rarely ever subscribe to any channel. I especially adore how you do not just tear apart newer episodes like any other Simpsons video but seem to make a balanced analysis of how the stories develop, get worse and then again better sometimes.

[@TheTop909_JB_official]

These keep getting better

[@scottyoshihara2458]

Thanks Lydia I’m surprised that Fat Tony was not cancelled like Apu. My favorite character is Ralph, we all have a little bit of him in all of us.

[@tatehildyard5332]

I think it’s because it’s not as racially loaded as the Apu thing. While Italian Americans are still very much their own culture, they’re no longer viewed as a separate ethnicity to target with harassment. Same happened with Irish Americans.

[@michaelb.42112]

This video is gold ! To think you did all this research and laying it out for us is genius.

[@duckydae]

honestly, i really wished they’d bring back michael even for a few episodes. i feel like his dynamic with lisa is certainly worth exploring.

[@austinandhisfriends]

Hey Lydia I have an idea. Since Fat Tony is your favorite Simpsons character, how bout you do a video of your top 10 Fat Tony episodes. I think that would be a nice one. If your interested my favorite Fat Tony episode is "The twisted world of Marge Simpson."

[@michaelg3558]

Thanks Lydia I enjoy your videos

[@TheSimpsonsTheory]

Thanks for watching Michael!

I think the Fit-Fat Tony thing was meant to be a joke about the unmoveable status quo of sitcoms, but that might just be me.

[@everyonewantshimthatwasmycrime]

edna krabappel will always be my favourite character… rip💔

[@nyxcat3621]

Love your videos! Have you done a timeline on comic book guy yet?

[@TheSimpsonsTheory]

Yes I looked into him a while back ☺️

[@blueraccoon1088]

I think it's Obviously why fit tony replaced fat tony is a lemon idea because life gives you lemons make orange soda. Because joe mantega likes the character and was mad they killed fat off. It's like Peter Cullen getting back up optimus prime and killing him 2 times (g1 movie and dark awakening) would you see characters killed and replaced to come back?

[@ChairChairChairChairChairChair]

Super early, so um i know nobody cares but im making a simpsons comic where Skinner opens a steamed hams restaruant.

[@darmin811]

Could you please make a Waylon Smithers timeline?

[@TheSimpsonsTheory]

[@theodoretekkers]

Ralph is my favourite character. His lines are hilarious

Happy New Year Lydia! See You In 2023!

[@darkmookie6]

Here’s a challenge for you: do a Waylon Smithers Jr Timeline! I think it would be very interesting because not alot of attention is brought to him. When people get asked about him their first thought are “oh yeah that kiss-ass gay guy” at least, thats been my experience.

[@BecKM94]

Lydia said in another comment/answer here „He’s coming up!“, so I think that will happen soon. He has always been and is one of my two favourite characters (together with Mr. Burns), so I‘m really looking forward to that, too =) Do you know the KZbinr TheRealJims? He‘s doing - among other things - character History videos; they‘re similar to Lydia‘s Timelines, but while she presents them chronologically from a character’s childhood to present day to their potential future, TheRealJims looks at a character from their first appearance all the way through the many seasons to the present day to see how they have evolved and been used on the show. He‘s got a video about Smithers, too, (with over half a million views, btw, so it got quite some attention :-) I can really recommend it, just keep in mind (if you’re also watching recent seasons) that I think the video is from two years ago, so stuff from e.g. S33’s “Portrait of a Lackey on Fire” isn’t featured, but pretty much anything else important.

[@darkmookie6]

@@BecKM94 Yeah I watch them Too

[@Wint3rFi3ld]

My fav ones are Fat Tony, Legs, Louie. (For Side Characters) Lenny, Carl, Moe, Ralph, and Ned Flanders (Secondary) and All the Main Characters.

[@orange7813]

My favourite is 3 fat tony 2 moe syzlack 1 Ralph Wiggum (the goat 🐐)

[@amitysluzara2022]

Great timeline and pick for your favourite character! Fat Tony's a top 10 maybe top 5 of mine. Regarding Fit Fat Tony/Fat Tony. I really don't get why they did this. They're literally identical it just makes it look like they killed off the original Fat Tony to fill up runtime. Pity that they did this because if they used the runtime for something else it would've been perhaps my favourite Modern Simpsons episode

[@user-vs1hr6qk1y]

In my mind fit fat tony achieved what Michael wanted and gained a life outside of the life but after fat Tony's death he was dragged in explaining his softness being that he wasnt a mob boss he was a regular joe trying to swim with sharks

[@manoftheusajones5147]

Do The Complete Vicky Timeline next!

[@wangeroogerque2931]

A couple months ago I rewattched the Simpsons. Took me a couple weeks. But I was surprised to hear that they thought of calling Michael Fat Tonys nephew after the change in an episode.

[@dylanbahret6511]

Great video Lydia, now that we know you’re favorite Simpsons characters… who is James favorite character. Have a great New Years everyone!

[@janacerna275]

Please do a timeline video for Crocker(Fairly odd parents)

[@tenebrousoul9368]

Rex Banner!

[@dn22pkkdd476]

I don't know what it is about Fat Tony's design, but every facial expression he has makes me laugh. Also, you gotta respect a mob leader who has no issue doing grunt work alongside his henchmen. No matter what bodies need to be disposed of, or what crime needs to be commited, Fat Tony is down in the trenches with his men. No wonder his guys are usually so loyal. Most business managers and ceos could learn a thing or two from my favorite mobster.

[@themagichickenthr9840]

Her voice is very relaxing and fun to listen to. I learned a lot about fat tony.

[@PolyBiBadger]

I thought we finally got some Wendell appreciation but Fat Tony is truly my favorite as well. I thought it was strange how he married Selma but with this video, I discovered it was his cousin Fit Tony (well, Fat Fit Tony) 😂

[@SebastianMarcialVideo]

Welcome back! It's been a year or so.

[@The-Rguy]

Honestly Fat Tony was just awesome I love a good mobster character and he and Disco Stu are my favorite of Selma's husbands

[@That1Prodigy]

[@anthonyanderson3448]

I love fat tony. I think he was my early introduction to the Mafia. That lead to other mafia stories. Even to one of my favorite OC villain. But the current Fat Tony feels a shadow if himself I guess I am actually glad it is his cousin because it would be odd when Fat Tony start to work for the police and goes easier on others.

[@vinnyvidz]

I’ve been waiting for this do you know there’s not that many episodes does it really do feature on fat Tony that I have watched so this is gonna be nice

[@vinnyvidz]

I’m building a building for my Lego city as I am watching us and it reminds me of my old guy mafia that I was building in my city so when I’m watching this I can do a timeline of my city

[@brandonscott5544]

Great Lydia on the Simpson theory video fat Tony

[@renamon5658]

Can you do a timeline for carface Carruthers the bulldog gangster from all dogs go to heaven? I wonder if he and fat tony will get along

[@TheSimpsonsTheory]

Haha they very much have a similar vibe, although Carface gave me far more nightmares as a kid!

[@blueraccoon1088]

Another example i can think of is when g1 starscream died played by Mr burns himself, late chris Latta he voiced starscream again as a ghost as g1 cannon twice but when beast wars came in doug Parker brought starscream back as his ghost again sadly Latta died when beast wars aired around 94 but starscream was back in the future. He didn't go back to his body because he couldn't find it it. Prehistoric earth is different from 1984 timeline and since he was sent to past via by time rip he went to the past when he went. If he did go to his body he'll kill himself in the past and wiping his future. But not getting ahead but let's off topic if an actor plays a beloved character to the actor and fans, they'll naturally get mad and to sugar the lemon the bring back the character in a canonical way to be back instead remove the actor and replace the character to voice like maude she asked for more cash, heard no so killed her, brought back as noncanons/flashbacks and that's how characters are brought back and continuing the timeline I'm sure comic book guy can partly, brutally honest disagree

[@nebbynetwork2089]

You dont mess with fat Tony unless you want him to TAKE CARE of you he might be a mob boss but he takes good care of his horses He had a stallion and wanted him to mate with a female horse to have babies
