Springfield Mafia (original) (raw)

The Springfield Mafia also known as the Springfield mob the Springfield outfit or the Springfield crime family is an Italian-American crime syndicate based in Springfield.

History[]

Originally the mob is being run by an unnamed individual called "The Godfather", and the mafia is operating in the cellar of an old office building, Bart Simpson stumbles into the cellar only to meet Fat Tony, the underboss of the mob, and after picking the winning horse and mixing some drinks for the other members, than Louie, Legs, and Joey, they hire Bart as a bartender, they have him mix drinks in the cellar clubhouse and even hide cigarette shipments in his room, the mob talks with Seymour Skinner over a disagreement with Bart that ends with Seymour sending the mob out of his office, unfortunately Skinner later fell and majorly injured himself, he was later pronounced missing and Bart fears that the mob killed him, fortunately this was not the case and Bart was found innocent.

Sometime later the mob has a dispute with Krusty the Clown over his unpaid debts and they confuse Homer Simpson, who was a Krusty impersonator at the time for Krusty and they attack both him and Krusty, we also meet Don Vittorio DiMaggio, who would replace the original Don for unknown reasons, Vittorio makes a deal with Homer and Krusty and makes them do a trick or else they will be murdered, they succeed in doing the trick and it is revealed the debt was only $48.00 dollars, which Krusty pays off, we also first see Johnny Tightlips in this episode.

Due to Marge Simpson's failing business and the death of Frank Ormand Homer confides in the Mafia to help his wife feel better, the mobs do as told, but unfortunately things go South and the mob is upset with the couple, the go to confront Marge and Homer where they live but are met with Yakuza, hired by Marge's rivals, they begin to fight and Homer and Marge are forgotten.

After Homer (while working as Joe Quimby's bodyguard) discovers the milk in Springfield Elementary was coming from rats in the mob's factory, Homer steps in but it doesn't go well as Homer and the mayor are attacked, fortunately Homer fights of the mob, but Mayor Quimby is not so lucky as he is brutally beaten and sent to the hospital, causing in Homer being fired.

Following Krusty the Clown's discovery of his daughter, he selfishly auctions her violin to the mob to get some cash, after seeing how disappointed she is, Krusty breaks into the mob's compound to steal back the violin, and accidentally causes a gun to discharge by knocking it over causing a shootout to happen.

Fat Tony Legs and Louie were arrested for selling illegal fireworks shortly after the last events, but most likely stay away from prison as they return shortly after, this can also be seen after law enforcement arrests him for labeling ferrets as toy poodles after being caught by Homer, and the mob is immediately out and ready to kill Homer once again, but Maggie Simpson opens fire on mobsters and saves Homer, Maggie even later went on to prevent a shootout between the mob and the Don Castellaneta's crime family.

Fat Tony and several other criminals can be seen in prison in The Seven-Beer Snitch, where they revolt against Homer for snitching. On the outside trouble aroused a few episodes later when Homer lost a mob debt while betting, but Homer let them use the house and everything was sorted out.

In The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer, we learn Fat Tony is a widow and a single father of his son Michael D'Amico, we also meet new rivals of the mafia, the The Calabresi family, and while carpooling his son and his classmates on the way home after Otto being suspended from his job they are attacked by The Calabresi goons, and acting quickly Tony throws a binder giving the rival car flat tires, and a TNT truck crashed into the goons, killing all four of them. At Fat Tony's mansion the 3 main Calabrese show up uninvited but do not harm Tony out of fear, but after his son Michael proclaims he wants to be a chef, they began to believe Tony is weak, and gun Tony down with a chopper, surprisingly Tony survives this, but has to be hospitalized.

The Calabrese drop dead.

Following the news, Homer and Bart take over the mob, but after Michael realizes how morally corrupt, they are becoming he steps up, he invites the Calabrese over to make a truce over some food, but they don't know the food has been poisoned by Michael, and drop dead in the dining room, pleasing his father.

Homer once again finds trouble with mob after his friend Clancy Wiggum accidentally shoots himself while busting another one of Fat Tony's schemes, he is put into a coma with Homer at his side, but they fall out shortly after Wiggum awakes, but they rekindle after being kidnapped by Tony and getting him arrested yet again.

The Death of Fat Tony[]

Fat Tony is pronounced dead.

After Homer is arrested he tasked by an FBI agent to befriend Tony to infiltrate his gang under a fake name and disguise, which Homer does with ease, and Tony and his followers recruit Homer when they break out of prison. To officially recruit Homer into the gang they task him with burning down Moe's Tavern, which Homer almost backs out on until he see's Moe do it himself.

Homer is taken in by the mob officially and unfortunately for the investigation, Homer and Tony bond together and become good friends, complicating the task Homer was set out to do, but while at a stressful arms deal Tony discovers that Homer is wearing a disguise, and the shock gives Tony a heart-attack. The FBI busts the deal but we find out that Tony has died, causing Homer to break down in tears over the loss of his new best friend, but the FBI holds up on the deal and frees Homer.

Meeting the new Underboss[]

While visiting Tony's grave to pay respects Homer is kidnapped by Tony's fit cousin, Fit Tony in order to be killed, but while because of Homer's stories about Tony, the captor does not kill Homer because Tony still lives on in Homer's memories, but the stress causes the new boss to start overeating, and he went from Fit Tony, to Fit-Fat Tony, to just Fat Tony like his predecessor.

We later find out Fit-Fat Tony adopted Michael following the loss of his father.

While Fit-Fat Tony was on Jury Duty Dan Gillick took over as the boss and made lots of budget cuts, but after being tasked by Tony to kill some unneeded employees, Dan frightenedly accepts, but later confides in Homer that he is scared and doesn't want to be a murderer, but later changes his mind and Homer has to prevent him in killing the associates.

Fit-Fat Tony is shown to have an interest in betting and sports in episodes following these with dilemmas relating to them. Tony also has Marge decorate the interior of a brothel.

In Go Big or Go Homer they attack Homer and Mike Wegman after they lost a debt while betting, but they eventually make a truce with the mob getting a share of Mike's businesses profits and pedaling drugs out of the food truck.

Tony later goes to jail for the first time in The Fat Blue Line after being setup by Johnny Tightlips in a major pickpocketing scheme, Tony strikes a deal with Wiggum, who knew of Tony's innocence from an old video, where Tony claims he will never pickpocket, and Wiggum has Tony bust his own mob while wearing a wire, Tony obliges and finds out what Johnny did from Frankie the Squealer, and a shootout begins, but the cops arrest the mob and Tony is free.

Tony even becomes Maggie's godfather at some point and spends a lot of time with her, even buying an entire arena with shows for her, but Johnny betrays his once again and the mob revolts on Tony, however Tony and the Simpsons escape the arena, and Tony steps down as Maggie's godfather.
