So I somehow ended up watching a youtube video called *Jack and Jill - Nostalgia Critic*, and at 14m15s ([clip](https://www.youtube.com/embed/djIIs2dkaX0?start=855&end=865)), a joke in the movie is given the spotlight.

> **Pacino**: I used to raise pigeons.
>
> **"Jill"**: Really?
>
> **Pacino**: Yeah... No, I'm sorry, that was Brando.

Which is met with a fake laugh from Doug, followed by praise what's warrant is questionable at best.

I don't get it. What do pigeons have to do with *The Godfather*? Does "pigeon" have a second, mafia-related meaning that I'm not aware of? How is this joke supposed to be funny?
