boes May 23, 2014 Share May 23, 2014 Ah, today gave us a glimpse of Pop Up Victor, one of my favorite Salem people! He strolls in at the end of Maggie's Lament about Nick, with Jenn staring vacantly at her, and the scene comes to life with him dissing Nicole. The man has the best one-liners and I want to immortalize him here. 6 Link to comment
LeftPhalange May 24, 2014 Share May 24, 2014 I could listen to Victor talk trash about Nicole all day. I used to think his insults towards her were a little much at times but now I think she deserves to hear every nasty thing he has to say about her. 1 Link to comment
QuelleC May 24, 2014 Share May 24, 2014 (edited) He couldn't stand Nick either, even in front of huge frozen MaggieFace.. I've been thinking about the scene between Victor and Sonny Didn't he promisie to help out? Edited May 24, 2014 by QuelleC Link to comment
LeftPhalange May 24, 2014 Share May 24, 2014 Yes. Yet another reason why Nick blackmailing and trying to take Ari away for so long was ridiculous. Between Kate, Sami, EJ, and Victor, someone would have taken him out long ago. 1 Link to comment
LeftPhalange May 27, 2014 Share May 27, 2014 "The next time you want a man murdered you come to me." Victor offers good advice. People should come to him more often when they need pests exterminated. 7 Link to comment
boes May 28, 2014 Author Share May 28, 2014 How GREAT was that?? And luckily, Maggie wasn't there to shush him. But man, what a pain in the ass Hope is. Could she have been any ruder to Victor? 1 Link to comment
Sandman June 2, 2014 Share June 2, 2014 Even Sonny would agree that only Uncle Vic deserves his own personal thread. Link to comment
gazebo June 2, 2014 Share June 2, 2014 The very few times Victor and Stefano got together and talk is pretty funny. They are very polite to each other while insulting each other. Victor is fearless. He's not afraid of Stefano at all. I caught some old clips of Victor and Stefano snarking at each other during Kate and Stefano's wedding. It was very funny and witty. I would love for Stefano and Victor to sit down and insult each other again. 2 Link to comment
janeyjay June 4, 2014 Share June 4, 2014 Please tell me (a newbie) that there is a giant portrait of Victor someplace to go along with the giant portrait of Stefano. Because if there's not, there needs to be. 1 Link to comment
kellinatorjones June 4, 2014 Share June 4, 2014 There are no words for my delight that Pop-Up Victor has his own thread. Best thing about the show, bar none. 2 Link to comment
boes June 13, 2014 Author Share June 13, 2014 "Where's my grandson, ya little tramp!" And I hear birdies singing in the treetops, now that Victor is on the show today. Man oh man, he can turn my frown upside down. Now just imagine the sneer and the snarl and the comeback if anyone every actually said something like that to him. Every day with a Victor pop up is a good one, and day it's just rainin' snark! 1 Link to comment
janeyjay June 13, 2014 Share June 13, 2014 Today's episode featured the best Pop Up Victor to date -- him skulking around town, reading the riot act to Brady and Kate was the highlight of the show. I'm only sorry Julie wasn't on his agenda. He needs to do this at least once a week. At least. 4 Link to comment
mstaken June 13, 2014 Share June 13, 2014 (edited) I decided a few minutes into today's episode that I'm totally and completely obsessed with Victor. I could never entirely give up this show as long as he's still occasionally on it. I just want a months' worth of episodes where he and the 4-5 other characters I actually like spend the entire hour verbally eviscerating the many I loathe. Is that too much to ask?! The fact that we only get sporadic snarkfests from Victor and a seemingly endless amount of show-marring agony from Dannifer just proves that the TV Gods are cruel and unjust.

I wish they'd put out one of those desk calendars with Victor sayings for each day of the year. Hell, I'd go for Victor coffee mugs, Victor Vitamins - "If you have a laugh reaction lasting more than 4 hours contact your physician", Victor Halloween masks, the whole megilla. Victor makes every day feel like Snarky Christmas. Just his bon mots from today's show - Can I get you anything? How about some disinfectant? I'm not much for small talk and I doubt you have the capacity for it. You also inherited Kimberly loose sexual mores. I know what you're up to, you little golddigger. i'm not the one with the tacky tattoo. I'll kick you out on your drunken ass. The man is a daytime treasure. 7 Link to comment
Peanut6711 June 13, 2014 Share June 13, 2014 How about some disinfectant? When he said that I kept thinking of the Dimera couch. I so want a scene between Stef and Vic where Stef offers him to sit down and Vic makes a crack about what goes on in Stef's house. Speaking of Stef and Vic--what a waste of opportunities there between two daytime veterans and Salem's biggest bad guys. Why in the world do TPTB not pair them in scenes together??? There could only be comedic greatness if written right. They could even be like the two old guys in the balcony at the Muppet theater and end the show each day with their commentary. Bonding moment between Stef and Vic Victor: "My grandson is getting wasted and having sex with Kimberly Brady's trampy daughter." Stefano:: "My son was banging Abigail Deveraux and he was sober!" 6 Link to comment
CaughtOnTape June 13, 2014 Share June 13, 2014 While I'm fine with Victor's insults usually, I wish the writer's would take out such insults as Bitch, Whore, Slut, Tramp and any other one that insults a woman's sexuality. Call Nicole a liar, stupid, manipulative....whatever you want. But the sexual insults, ESPECIALLY considering 99% of the women in Salem have been raped or abused sexually, just perpetuates that and I hate it. There are other ways to insult a woman that do not include making it sound like she sleeps around when she doesn't. 3 Link to comment
sunnyheart June 13, 2014 Share June 13, 2014 I agree that the word "slut" is way overused, but I would be okay with it if the men were called sluts/tramps/whores too. If Nicole is a slut then so is Daniel (sleeps with his patients!) and Brady (sleeps with thieving drug addicts!) and EJ (cheats on his fiance!! What a SLUT!). I guess I don't mind Victor using the word slut because he's an old school mobster and it's within character. I don't want to see the word used by a lot of others though. I wish Victor would call someone a floozy - that would totally make my day. 3 Link to comment
Peanut6711 June 13, 2014 Share June 13, 2014 I suppose Marlena could try to counsel Victor to use more PC terms. She is so emotionally detached these days that things like this should just roll off her tongue and actually sound normal: Brady isn’t drunk he is simply an anti-sobriety activist. (Can you see Victor repeating that one to Maggie—priceless!) Abigail isn’t a tramp; she is just horizontally accessible to men already in committed relationships. Heck, maybe Mar could even convince Julie to consider Nick simply living impaired. Meanwhile, we all are not hooked on soaps, we are melodramatically fixated! 5 Link to comment
kellinatorjones June 13, 2014 Share June 13, 2014 (edited) Despite my love for Pop-Up Victor, I'm not so in love with the slut/bitch/whore trifecta. In addition to the reasons caughtontape enumerated and the double standard sunnyheart mentioned, it's just kind of lazy. Vic's much more entertaining when insulting someone's intelligence. NBC's webpage used to have a "Stuff Victor Says" section that included such classics as "The Three Stooges on crack could have come up with a better plan" and "There's an old Groucho Marx movie on TV dubbed in Italian. It's sort of like talking to Vivian." I think I'd be okay with Victor calling someone a floozy, though, because that's just an inherently funny word.

I could do with fewer sexual insults, but I give Victor a little leeway for the reason you stated. And, he's currently married to St. Naggie, who has managed to combine the best of the Joan Collins 80-style bighair & clothes look with a definite sisterwife vibe. Living with Maggie whose main concern is for her Egg Baby and his love affair with the Virgin Queen of Mean Jenn must put the poor guy on edge. I wouldn't mind seeing Eve upset that particular applecart just a bit. And THEN we should definitely hear "floozy" flying around Salem. Edited June 13, 2014 by boes 2 Link to comment

bobcat1946 April 1, 2015 Share April 1, 2015 So disappointed in Victor because after calling out all of the other bad girls in Salem he did not call out abifail out for being the tramp that she is. Link to comment
Apprentice79 April 1, 2015 Share April 1, 2015 So disappointed in Victor because after calling out all of the other bad girls in Salem he did not call out abifail out for being the tramp that she is.

She would not put up with that.... Link to comment

minirth April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 For posterity, bcause it was beautiful! Victor at his finest. Victor: You betray your husband, my nephew, and you think you can put some kind of a spin on it?!?!?!? You listen to me, you little... I love every member of my family, but Sonny has always been something special to me. That's why I wanted to host your wedding here, in my home. But the thought of you making a mockery of that ceremony, treating it like some cheap floozy in a bar somewhere... Will: That's not what happened, Uncle Victor! I never intended... Victor: WHAT HAPPENS IS WHAT MATTERS, WILL. Like the wrath of an elder god. Long live Victor the Great! Will: Victor, this is important. Can I say something? Victor: NO! Get the hell out of my house! 6 Link to comment

jlrd2000 April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 Victor rules!!! I SO loved him tell the little weasel exactly what he thought. After Victor schooled Will on how he blames everyone else for his problems Will told DHer she would be to blame so he didn't absorb an iota of the spankdown. Maybe John can handle him. Will knows that Paul is John's son and is keeping it from him. Sami kept Belle from him years ago. That is a mother and son that has screwed John over. Everybody has a threshold. Let's hope that John has reached his! 1 Link to comment

I used to think his insults towards her were a little much at times but now I think she deserves to hear every nasty thing he has to say about her. I don't and I'll tell you why, misogyny for one, a man that old marrying someone that young who was a victim of abuse doesn't get to cast stones. Two, every goddamn woman in Victor's mind is filed under virgin or whore as if that isn't bad enough, guess who the virgins are? Marlena, Hope, Carrie, Jenn, Maggie and Abigail. Pretty much every sanctimonious asshole I've ever hated in Salem and probably Melanie too since she's safe under the magic sperm of Saint Jonas.

My god, woman, you know, I don't know whether to wring your neck for swiping that address off of my desk or... well, considering how things turned out, maybe I ought to just throw you a party. John: What the hell are you talking about? Victor: Marlena finally did something right. She killed Kristen DiMera. Marlena: *pained look* John: You killed Kristen? Marlena: Victor, please. I mean, it was an accident. She was trying to kill me, and we struggled, and Victor: And all of a sudden, Kristen went out the window! Fell 500 feet before she hit the water. They're still looking for her body! Wouldn't you love to be there for something like that? Gives me goosebumps. Let's raise a glass of bubbly here, shall we? What? You're going to pretend you're sad about that bitch finally going to Hell? John and Marlena: *look horrified* Victor, grumpily: Oh, fine, I'll drink alone. You two catch up.

As much as I enjoy Victor's insults - most of the time - when it comes to Kim, all he should ever be saying is "I'm sorry". He was a bastard to her and all the insults in the world doesn't change that. 3 Link to comment
