Ooooh! Can you believe this guy here? It’s the actor who played Salvatore Bonpensiero on the iconic HBO mob series. (Though you might remember him better by his character’s nickname. A moniker not suitable for a story a kid might read.) He’s the star of a new campaign (which we first saw
at) from . The Philadelphia-based company has been selling deli meat and cheeses for 80 years. Now they’re serving customers a perfect Halloween pun. Seriously, you think you can do better than “The Gabaghoul?” Fuhgetaboutit!Casting someone from
to play this Halloween cold cut mascot is what truly makes this ad perfect. The show turned “gabagool,” a slang term for capicola—a fatty Italian pork cold cut I would eat every day if I could—into a running gag. Not by making fun of it though. Merely by talking about it and eating it all the time. “Gabagool” is not only delicious, but it’s also impossibly fun to say.
Our only regret is that we didn’t come up with “The Gabaghoul” first. It was right there! But we’re still glad the character is here now to offer us some Halloween party tricks. And he has a whole bunch of them. Check out
‘s YouTube pageto see them all.Then make sure to serve gabagool on any sandwiches you put out at your party. Not only because it’s amazing, but because a Halloween-pop culture pun this tasty has earned it.
