I wish they'd done more with that statue, it was one of my favourite characters
It is Hugh the borg from Star Trek .
He is so different in this role with the different accent and someone said his accent as hugh was completely fake and that he is gay it is like wow a gay borg.That is a concept in itself.
Dan Nolan bloody hell it is too! Damn awesome spotting mate 👍
Good eye
Paulie 🤣🤣💪
RIP “Paulie”💪🏿
I totally love it! Paulie and Patsy are villains, but even they know that they cannot match the strength of the church.
The look Patsy gives Pauly 2:00 dead 🤣
I love how Patsy nod's in agreement when Paulie says "Fuck the hat!" 🤣
Like the many comments before mine. They are dealing with a 2,000 year old criminal enterprise. Paulie and Patsy are in over their heads.
This was just a parish priest. Imagine if they had to negotiate with a monsignor or a bishop.
