What is wrong with The Jersey Shore?

[WonderWillard]

What, that show about that alien race that has a significantly lower intelligence than human beings?

Wait, my assumption was wrong, those people are in fact human beings, to my utter shock and disbelief.

This:


That is unfortunatly, all I can say.
If one of the PARODY movies is calling you a douchebag, you are officially a douchebag. (BTW, I think I am the only one who actually LIKES the parody movies)

IT IS SO GOOD!!!! Must fun I have ever had watching TV since when I used to run shit in Blues Clues

 

[funguy2121]

I know it's a horrible show, I'd just like a list of things that makes it a shitty show, soooo your thoughts? So yeah, I'd like to hear your thoughts on why you think it sucks.

Horrible = shitty, no? If you already know it's horrible, then why do you need a list from us?

I've never seen it, but since I've seen The Apprentice and Survivor and The Real World I think I've seen about all I need to see of reality TV to safely say it's all crap. They just pretend it's not scripted even though the writers are credited at the end of the show. I have, however, seen the roast of Donald dipshit Trump (that was very Id, but I couldn't resist), during which "The Situation" made an appearance, and had the rare treat of discovering that every horrible thing people have said about a particular person is absolutely true.

(the best part is when Jeff Ross stands up and says "It's also your last night")

But OK, fine, if that's not enough, here's your list.

Worship of insipidity = bad.
Pandering to vapid stereotypes = bad.
Telling a national audience that you like men who abuse steroids and Human Growth Hormone, which makes your genitals shrink, by the way = bad.
Wearing a giant medallion = bad.
Telling young men that they should cease being men and start applying spray-on tan = bad.
While we're at it, spray-on tan and all who wear it = bad.
Asking this question when the show's been on for 2 years = bad.
Rewarding bad behavior by individuals who can afford birth control and visits to the doc to clear up STDs = bad.
Saying, hey, they're getting paid = bad, and very very stupid.

That about sums it up!

 

[funguy2121]

everybody in it is a massive douche.

That was hilarious.

OT: The only thing I know about it is that a lot of people find it terrible for some reason. I'm Dutch, so I don't know anything about it. Nor do I want to.

I envy you. Don't change your disposition at all.

 

[Reincarnatedwolfgod]

it's a show about the lives idiots thats made for idiots
any more questions?

edit: also it horribly represents new jersey

 

[Sejs Cube]

They're useless twats.

There's not much to like, other than laughing at them be fuckups, which can only go so far.

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

It's glamorizing stupid people and making them famous for being stupid.

 

[Kadoodle]

I thought you were talking about the beaches of New Jersey, where I live. I live bout an hour away from Sandy Hook, and it sucks because:

Spoiler

1: The water and sand are rougher than than your mom's butt

Spoiler

2: The water is dirtier than your mom's butt

Spoiler

3: It's somehow really popular, and is often overcrowded like your mom's butt

You have no idea how long I've been waiting to use that one.

As for the show...I dunno, its a show about the lowest most disgusting life forms on the planet.

As a result, it is both hated and loved simultaneously.

I know it's a horrible show, I'd just like a list of things that makes it a shitty show, soooo your thoughts? So yeah, I'd like to hear your thoughts on why you think it sucks.

It's not the show that's the problem--it's the people in it. I would list why they are a problem, but I'm pretty sure everyone else responding to this thread is taking care of that quite well.

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

They're a bunch of douchebags.
Also, they have an obsesion with Italy, and in my area, Most of the people that take over pride in itallian heritige are DOUCHES- THEY MIX!

And finally- THEY'RE ORANGE!

 

[RatRace123]

What's wrong with it? WHAT'S RIGHT WITH IT!?

For starters all the guys on the show look like this:

Spoiler

Only less awesome.
It puts douchebags on a pedestal rather than shoving them into a darkened corner.

I'm assuming it leads to melanoma in other people's attempts to make themselves as orange as the monkeys in the show.

Probably raising the price of hair gel across the planet, those hairgel trees aren't infinite y'know!

And finally, and perhaps most importantly, it is the most notable pop culture thing to come out of jersey. To the rest of the world, that entire state is defined by a bunch of musclebound, big titted, orange people. That is not the kind of image you want your state to be associated with.

 

[crimsonshrouds]

havent had the great misfortune to watch it but recently i watched a show on mtv about idiots living together in a vegas hotel. Im going to assume it was like that except every person on there is a douchebag.

 

[Yeager942]

I watched a few episodes and I thought it was hilarious, like watching a cage full of monkeys throw poop at each other at the zoo. I mean, I've never seen such a cage, but you know that would be at least briefly entertaining, as long as there is a screen up to stop the poo from hitting the audience. However, like a cage full of poop-flinging monkeys, it is only fun for so long before you get tired of the stupid seeping into your brain and the smell of the show and monkey cage respectively.

I fucking lol'd. WP sir

OT: It's impossible to name one thing about the show that isn't totally reprehensible.

 

[Dags90]

It misrepresents New Jersey. New Jersey isn't nearly as glamorous as it seems on reality TV, it's mostly boring suburbs. Only one of them is even from New Jersey.

Worst thing to happen to NJ since 9/11? Probably. It probably saved the shore from becoming completely downtrodden from the economy though.

 

[Infernai]

What's right with Jersey Shore?

 

[Shio]

everybody in it is a massive douche.

Best video ever.

OT: what's right about it?

 

[bpm195]

The biggest problem is people watching it predisposed to dislike it solely so they can complain about how they don't like it.
