What is wrong with The Jersey Shore?

[TobiasFunke]

I love it. I think it is very funny =)

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)

I used to like them (like the scary movie franchise) but ever since those asshats of seltzerberg started controlling it just went terrible and became reference movies
OT
I have the luxury of never watching it but from what I understand is that it,s about a group of douches from New York going to New Jersey to just party and be douches.
(the only thing related I watched is the south park episode "A Jersey Thing" and a college humor spoof that made the Jersey Shore in a FF like RPG.

It's dumb as hell, panders to the lowest common demographic of people. All the guys on the show are idiots, all the girls on the show are empty and vaccuous T&A displays and rather than try to insult such a mindset, it seems to be actually glorifying it.

Personally, I've only ever seen a trailer for one episode here in Australia but that one trailer was all I needed to see.

I just find it humorous that the Japanese call the show "The New Jersey Life of Macaroni Rascals."

Just as I begin to regain faith in humanity, Jersey Shore comes on...

This explains everything wrong with that show.

 

[AlexLoxate]

Well, it's saying that being genuinely stupid is socially acceptable. So, if the show is scripted it raises the question of how it got approved. There is something in people that gets them off on other people's conflicts, but come on.

And then they have the right mind to blame games when something bad happens...

I happen to like Jersey Shore because I think idiots are funny, but in case of emergency I have a prepared rant to answer with.

Jersey Shore is a television show featuring several adults who supposedly personify the "guido" culture. The word guido was originally used half as a slur and half as a term to describe working class Italian-Americans. The term is very rarely used in its original context anymore and now describes the kind of people Jersey Shore follows, i.e. self-absorbed loud-mouths concerned only with self-indulgence and fake tans (and I assure you, that is all they are after). I won't go on to insult their IQ or some other arbitrary statistic, but I will tell you that they lack any form of common sense. It's like peering into a black pit of idiocy with no bottom. Over the course of three seasons, I've seen them start fights in clubs, get drunk to the point of arrest, counsel one of the cast members who had a "drinking problem" that lasted all of three days, and sleep with anyone in the immediate vicinity. They don't embody any type of culture anyone in the USA should want to identify with; they embody Hedonistic tendencies we should want to shy away from.

Why you gotta pick on the black pit of idiocy? What about the white pit of idiocy?

What's so wrong with hedonism and why do you automatically associate it with these morons? Not like they're having good sex anyway...

What is wrong with The Jersey Shore? wow thats a hard question. i think an easier question would be what is right with Jersy shore. and even then its a hard question to anwser.

 

[funguy2121]

Take note, America. Your TV shows are your first ambassadors to other countries. This is why so many people around the world have the opinions about the US that they do. I think this reputation is mostly undeserved, by the way, but shows like Jersey Shore are not going to help.

Are people really that gullible and superfi-

Never mind, everything makes sense now.

This sums it up pretty well I think:

That episode (my favourite) depicts everything wrong with new jersey

You know that's fiction, right? It's the equivalent of thinking Australians ride on the backs of kangaroos to work.

I ride a sloth. I'm late sometimes.

What wrong with the show beyond Snooki always being a cocktease? She's the only reason I gave the show any credence, if only I had dreams of screwing a 4'9" quasi-midget who had nice (relative) breasts. At the same time she is a Paris Hilton wannabe and as such, is less than 5 feet tall. Such premonitions of stardoms at that point, especially for being on MTV, relegate her potential to Bangbus and...MTV. The biggest problem I have in fantasizing about her is not her that she's an obviously over-easy wench that gets wet on command, oh no, my morals are not so loose in terms of fantasizing, but that she would be the kind of girl that likes getting tag-teamed". I hate fucking hate multiplayer games. Deal breaker right there for Jersey Shore.

So her envy for Paris Hilton has made her shrink? And she had precognitive dreams of "stardoms" but is the fortune-teller class so in the MTV world she has to be a porn star?

Sorry if your group experiences were not all that great. I've been propositioned by a couple, and I said no for this very reason

 

[Casual Shinji]

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.

It's Trash TV, there's not much else to it.

Even Holland has it's own Jersey Shore in the form of Oh, oh, Tirol and many others. The reason shows like these are popular is because they're so revolting. You're basically watching a freakshow of trashy, disgusting people.

 

[Reaper195]

Judging from what I've seen from that one episode of South Park....everyone is a dick, and it's a reality TV show.

everybody in it is a massive douche.

"He cannot locate New Zealand!"

Oh god, I loled so hard. I love my tiny country.

 

[Toaster Hunter]

Basically, all of it. It gives my state a worse name than it already has. No, we're really not like that here.

Its Spreading like an infection across the world to Europe and i believe canada.

I'm so sorry for what my country has spread to yours. Though If I were from new Jersey that would probably mean more.

 

[JWRosser]

The show is too stupid to insult.

I'm sure it is a misrepresentation of New Jersey. Just like a show we have over here in the UK - The Only Way is Essex - is a misrepresentation of Essex. Both shows are extremely similar and make me hate things.

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

You do know its fake? No one can be that stupid. Also I thought oompalumpas were short and had green hair.
