Why did he become such a meme? He’s a fairly serious character. The death of his brother still haunts him and he never got proper revenge. He has comedic wisecracks but no more than any other character. “I did 20 years" has become a long running joke within the fanbase but he only says it 3-4 times.

he looks ridiculous
tbf every mobster had some sort of perfect look to them, like sil's hair was always fricking perfect outside of being on the hospital bed
Sil looks ridiculous but is never treated as a serious character.
My highschool Italian teacher looked EXACTLY like him, to a T. You would swear you were looking at a Sopranos commerical
He spent 20 years as a house
because HE'S A FAAAAAAAG
He's a shitty boss who acts like he earned his place despite only getting it by default when Johnny Sack went to jail. He's a high-handed self important martyr who almost loses a war against North Jersey despite being the head of one of the Five Families. He's written as a joke.
He whacked a made guy without a sitdown and the guy’s friend exacted vengeance. He had no legitimate beef with Tony B.
Didnt Johnny kill that guy?
why was this guy such a petty piece of shit? like more so than the rest of the glorified crew
He insulted him a little bit.
I think its mostly because the last 2 seasons were just written really poorly. Phil kept going back to his brother, he began to change after he tried to explain to the young kids about his brother and no one gave a shit, that was the turning point and after that he was a complete butthole with Tony despite them seemingly being on good terms before hand.
They needed a villain for the final season I guess, but it was just done in such a bad manner it seemed stupid.

should've been johnny sack
repressed homosexuality
It’s the conversation with Butchie where he orders the hit on Tony..
>let me tell you a couple of three things
>there are no scraps in my scrapbook
what kind of question is that. look at the guy. he was a meme on two legs
I always want to smoke cigar in some fancy place, but i dont know what to do with all the spit that starts accumulating once i start to smoke, makes me nauseous if i have to swallow it. Its why i can only enjoy a cigar outside where i can spit freely every couple of three seconds.
Ho!
Always found it extra funny when said this as greeting to women in a scene. I know they didn’t mean it as in prostitute but still.
>Adrianna walks in
>Ho, there she is
>THATS RIGHT wienerSUCKAS GO BACK TO NEW JERSEY
Phil what are you doing?
How do you respond to this without seeming mad?
I wouldn't say a word. I would go back to New Jersey which is what no one did.
>He's a pretty serious character
literally every single scene he's in is a joke or comedy skit
He plays it relatively straight xD but that's what makes it funny
He was a profoundly comedic character but Frank Vincent played him so wonderfully that he seemed realistic on the surface.
Reminder that you can't call yourself a Phillyhead if you haven't even read his book
Evidently, Chickentown
In one scene he's a house and in the next he's the Shah of Iran.
he was a meme in-universe too
Seeing this you could tell Phil was never meant to be a boss in the series and at some point they had no choice because there was no one else after Johnny.
The way Tony fricking man handles him in this scene and then later on they're being friendly is just so bizarre as if this shit never happened.
He had the most undignified comedic death in the series for a reason
He's the quintessential Hollywood mobster. They gave him great lines too.
