Jersey Shore

Plot synopsis:
The gang still misses Vinny, who has gone back home to his mother. Nobody really misses The Situation, who has disappeared because everybody ignored his birthday. Later, the not-so-spectacular six get a visit from Danny, who is upset that he is short workers and that those workers he does have are lazy and terrible. He says to "make room" for roommates.  She doesn't want anyone coming into the house and "#@% things up," Snooki says.The Situation then returns to the house and lets it be known that he is upset that everyone "forgot" his birthday. Snooki lets it be known that nobody "forgot." The next day, Snooki, Deena and Vinny head to work. Snooki is extra motivated because she does not want new roommates. Vinny is shocked to see the extra effort -- or any effort. Snooki and Deena then get temporary tattoos before heading home. Deena calls Vinny to see if he wants to come to Pauly's surprise birthday party. Vinny doesn't commit to anything.The ladies then take off to Karma to plan Pauly's surprise party. They meet a creepy stripper wrangler who assures the women that his employees "aren't shy." Well, thank goodness for that. Back at the house, Ronnie and The Situation head to work ... and they're late, of course. So Danny puts up a "help wanted" sign. A string of young Shoreians come in to apply, infuriating JWoww. She doesn't want a new roommate either. Nor does Ronnie, who vows to make any new roomie feel terribly unwelcome and uncomfortable.Snooki and Deena, in the meantime, head to the store to buy party balloons ... and bunny suits (not Playboy bunnies, but giant Easter bunnies). Weird. Hours later, the gang heads to Karma -- and Pauly and The Situation are SHOCKED to find all their friends waiting. So it's a dual party. Pauly gets a breast-shaped cake and The Situation gets a buttocks-shaped cake. "I feel really nice right now that the girls planned this great birthday," The Situation says. Soon, the strippers show up and handcuff the birthday boys to their chairs. A pair of busty ladies then burst out of two giant cakes and start grinding. "This is the best day of my life," Pauly tells the camera.Sometime later, Pauly meets -- and quickly starts making out with -- a cute brunette. Naturally, he wants to show her his birthday suit. She agrees. The Situation, meanwhile, is making nice with his stripper. After last call, they all head back to the house. Things get weird when Ronnie begins to cry because he misses Vinny. "I don't think he's coming back," Deena opines. A few minutes later, Pauly escorts his new lady friend to a waiting cab after "birthday sex."The next morning, The Situation calls a cab and escorts the stripper outside. He doesn't remember her name. Deena then calls Ronnie's friend Joey and asks him to come to the club with her. He accepts. "I have a date!" Deena squeals. Snooki then puts on her bunny costume and leaps out of the bathroom to scare JWoww. "It's awesome!" gushes Deena. Later, Jionni arrives with fresh flowers for Snooki. Snooki immediately takes Jionni to bed. The rest of the gang heads to Bamboo, where the drinks are flowing. The roommates aren't there for more than two minutes before they notice two women rolling around on the floor. But who are the chicks in this chick fight? It's Sweetheart!Seconds later, bouncers drag Sweetheart out of the club. She tells Ronnie that someone yanked her hair from behind. "I got attacked by, like, a swarm of bitches," Sweetheart says. She is quite proud of herself for emerging relatively unscathed. But the night is effectively over so everybody heads home. Deena gets under the covers with Joey ... but her alarm clock keeps going off. Four times. Poor Deena: she can't catch a break. Or work a clock. The next morning, The Situation says goodbye to Paula, who is slowly wearing down his defenses. "I haven't found one bad thing about her yet!" he exclaims.Pauly then declares that everybody is going to Staten Island to get Vinny. "I want him to feel welcome so we're all going to make shirts with Vinny sayings on them," Pauly explains. So they head to the t-shirt store and make shirts reading: "Vinning all day" and "Free Vinny." These are Vinny sayings? Anyway, the roomies pile into the SUV and head to Vinny's abode. They barge into the house, run upstairs and find Vinny waiting. Vinny appears to be very happy to see his friends and their shirts. He then shows off his new tattoo: "Let go, let God" right across his chest. "I have no idea what it means," Ronnie tells the camera. "But it looks cool." And that's really all that matters, right?So after a week of recovering from anxiety, Vinny follows his roommates to the car. Bye, Vinny's mom, who begins to cry watching his son leave. "I'm going to get laid tonight!" Vinny exclaims as the car pulls away from his home.

Review:
Show fighting, swearing, drunkenness, lies and manipulation as being cool and in amongst young adults in their 20s over and over again so other young people can act just like that thinking its something to capitalize on..
Out of all of the bad reality shows on the air today, this has got to be the absolute worst of the worst, there is not one single talent in this thing, makes operation repo look like a good TV show and that is lot better than this retread able piece of trash, these guidoly untalented people live in a jersey shore house for what else, sex, sex and more sex, all of them are embarrassing, the music is a mess, the editing is a waste of true absolute time and the scenes are atrocious, Ronnie Ortiz magro looks like a bodybuilder and is terrible, the rest of them are a mess too, bad scripts, silly situations, the whole thing is truly idiotic and I Really Think the state of new jersey is losing faith with it's audience, their too good of a state itself (Cake Boss & The Sopranos), not to know that this show really stunk NO STARS..
As a transplanted New Yorker who spent years in South Jersey while growing up; I am ashamed of this addition to its so-called reality programming roster for young people.This show does seem like something The Science Channel, The Discovery Channel or Animal Planet should be showing.
But MTV Networks thought it would be entertaining to show the social retardation and animalistic behavior of these humans raised in this little area by a shore in New Jersey.
Who's kiddin' who here?) An example: New Jersey young women of 30 years ago had problems trying to find out what it is about them that makes them beautiful, wanted, intelligent factors of humankind.
is all okay as long as people laugh at it and you're on TV which makes them think they're the next Spencers or Kardasians or Hiltons instead of the next clowns.Bottom line, its showing youth that you have no real value to each other or anyone else: male, female or otherwise.
How many times need we say this - just what is wrong with people that they think their lives are enriched by going on shows like this?.
Everybody knows about Paris Hilton, the Kardashians (Khloe, not Kim, is one curvaceous Armenian-American bombshell, by the way), Kendra Wilkinson, the various "Love" shows on VH1, and now MTV has put out their latest: "Jersey Shore."Seriously, what is our American culture coming to?
According to Mike Judge's 2006 film, yes we have."Jersey Shore" became a huge hit when it debuted in December 2009, and also sparked a myriad of controversies stemming from its negative portrayal of eight Italian-American young people (according to Wikipedia, only five of the eight 20-somethings are actually of genuine Italian ancestry), who have a summer share on New Jersey's Seaside Heights community and thus bringing a lot of unwelcome notoriety to the area.
These eight self-proclaimed "Guidos/Guidettes" (four Italian-American men and four Italian-American women) - alpha male Mike "The Situation," DJ Pauly D, Ronnie, Vinny (my personal "favorite," meaning he's the least annoying and he is essentially a nice, good guy who for the most part stays out of the worst trouble), Sammi "Sweetheart" (the only one of the cast members who is actually from New Jersey), Jenni "JWoww," Angelina "Jolie," and fan-favorite Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi - spend their summer on Jersey Shore partying, hooking up, tanning, drinking, fixing their hair (guys and girls both), clubbing, fighting, and engaging in every other form of debauchery known to man while also finding some time taking turns working in a boardwalk t-shirt store."Jersey Shore" is pretty atypical when it comes to reality television.
But like most guilty pleasure television, "Jersey Shore" keeps you watching no matter how much it goes against your better judgment, and however many brain cells you might kill by tuning in to watch new episodes every week.
None of the characters are particularly likable or sympathetic (except for my "favorite," of course, Vinny), but they are engaging and have over-sized egos and personalities that have launched them into pop culture stardom, whether they are deserving of it or not.In other words, they're here to stay, whether we like it or not...MTV really outdid themselves with "Jersey Shore"; not only was the show a ratings success (as of now, a third season is already in the works), but it has become a bona-fide pop culture phenomenon complete with t-shirts, endorsements, and its own "Jersey Shore"-esquire lingo ("yo, that ugly chick in the jacuzzi's a 'grenade'").
And poor little "Snooki" was recently charged with annoying people on the beach while heavily intoxicated; and she also got her lights punched out by some guy at a bar during the first season (poor "Snooki" - she's got a big mouth, all right, but no one deserves to get hit like she did by a big drunken coward like she did, no matter how annoying she was being)."Jersey Shore" is trash entertainment, purely.
I'm addicted to this show now, I think, after having purchased the first season on DVD after scattered viewings on TV got my mouth watery for 20-something New Jersey-style antics and debauchery.
I say actors because SURELY there can't be people out there like this?If you can read, use a computer, do a maths sum, speak English properly and have some feint semblance of class then this REALLY isn't for you!If not, enjoy the glorified excuses for human life on this show..
Jersey Shore also feels fake and self-absorbed, both in how its written and delivered, the show shows drunkenness, verbal abuse, swearing to a sickening, degrading degree and the people presented are little more than stereotypes that I took an instant dislike to.All in all, Jersey Shore is an embarrassment.
Watch as desperate 20-somethings with names like Snooki, JWOWWW, and The Situation slave in a t-shirt shop by day and infect the Garden State's club scene by night.
Out of all of the reality shows that has been on during the past decade I can say upfront that MTV's "Jersey Shore" has to be one of the worst if not the worst of the decade.
"Jersey Shore" is pure unadulterated trash.From a previous comment,it is a sad representation of our youth and he is right,but what moron executive at MTV came up with the idea or the thought of it would be entertaining to show to social retardation of a bunch of twentysomethings each week make fools of themselves and others in public?
On the show they are being depicted as people who always go tanning, partying, always acting like idiots(also known as "Guidos/Guidettes").
I know at least one person who looks like a Guido and every time I see them, I always make faces like I was disgusted at them.It's because I really hate this show.Of course, it's MTV and there is not much to be surprised about when watching that channel.
Okay So after watching few episodes, I realized that this show is a complete failure, at least for a person who has at least some moral and healthy consciousness it's pretty obvious...I am really shocked how they air such kind of shows, I mean what do they expect by that to show the young people that life is all about partying, getting wasted and having sex...
even animals know how to be better than these jerks out there...This movie just makes me sick, it shares stereotypes about American Italians, And gee I mean look at snooki for example she is obviously labeling people for their appearance what a low perspective evaluation, I mean c'mon...
I get that sentiment exactly, but after watching a few episodes of Jersey Shore, I started to see beyond the fake tans, the fights and the horrible language (and bad grammar).
For some reason I was drawn in almost immediately and now it's like an addiction, I can't stop watching.Some people will criticize it for being "reality trash" but what reality show isn't?
It's about a group of young adults who rent a house at Seaside Heights, a prime shore resort town, in New Jersey.
It has a group of young people who are truly like the spawn of the New Jersey housewives.
Jersy shore is nothing but to teach young dumb kids that getting high and drunk, acting like a slut and sleeping around with everyone is OK.
For some reason people tend to think that America's youth will see them as some sort of idol and want to be like them...doubtful!
Well for starters i am writing this review because i was forced to do so by the depth and hight and magnitude of the sheer stupidity that unfolds in all 3 episodes i managed to watch.Thats because eventually i started having some stomach disorder...Not to worry though!A doctor told that it could be even worst.He had some patients that were transmitted with STDs just by watching.Imagine that for interactive TV!Back again to the review...and since there is no story except drinking ,chemically altering ones appearance and the mating habits of lizards(:P) i am gonna cut right to the chase!Usually a reality (sic) of this kind had to do with some young and attractive individuals.This is not the case.Oh my GOD!
Cameras following a group of locals around New Jersey as they try and struggle through not getting too drunk or having so much sex that their crotches hurt in the morning.Thought...I always want to know how this show keeps you tuned in.
They make Italians look like the f*cking morons.It's usually just sex, alcohol, and partying for these idiots, but I sometimes just want to know what will happen next.Don't watch this unless you REEEEEEEEALLLLLY are bored..
I used to be like many of the people reviewing, i thought it was complete dog-sh!t without even watching it.
Therefor i gave it a try and i actually enjoyed watching it, yes it maybe a reality TV show and not a fair representation of New Jersey (not that I've been) but what makes the show great is the banter between the house mates, Pauly d is just a funny guy plan and simple, mike and Vinny are just total legends.
jersey shore's not that bad i think anybody over the age of 11 should be allowed to watch it sure they cuss and crap but it's better than south park you guys have got everything wrong you make me sick you need to stop criticizing jersey shore its a good show okay for kids 11 and up so eat crap its awesome i love and so do a lot of kids despite the bad language everybody has their giulty pleasures they should stop cussing a little bit i agree but other than that it is fine but they don't show sex would you rather watch south park what in the world is so bad about it i do not know why it is so bad about it other than the cussing nothing that's what yo guys better shut your mouth im sck of you people writing crap on here about it jersey shore is not bad and the people of jersey shore and mtv are sick of it.
But in this case I think it is important for us to say what we think, so that the all mighty MTV will consider next time they put a show like that out in the open.So let me start by saying, that this show is absolutely outrageous, I guess I can understand how some people would be naturally attracted to watch this garbage, but I would want to believe that those people are a minority, and if they really want to watch it, they should have a special channel for that, I would even suggest that they have a specific psychological evaluation before they allowed to watch that channel, but that is only my 2 cents.
For example, Beavis and Butt-Head is a (surprisingly good) show about two idiotic teenagers who watch MTV all day and do basically nothing useful with their lives.
I think people who are giving this a bad rating are those who had not tried partying like crazy and live the life.
So let me give you a short bio of the show, guidos come to New Jersey, trash the place, then get their own TV show, and then New Jersey gets joked about because of it, only because people don't bother to do the research to know that most of the cast isn't even from New Jersey!

I won't stand for this, the people who ruin my home town, and those surrounding, who pass out drunk in the streets, urinate in public, start fights, break stuff, They get their own show, on a famous network live MTV, and kids will watch this and think "hey that looks like fun, i should go to the jersey shore and do that!" In the end, the show is nothing more than a glorified documentary about the guidos who destroy my home state, who i have to deal with first hand.

Adults will find it entertaining and laugh at it when it's really quite sad, and to us, the citizens of New Jersey, the people who actually live there, will be forever enraging.

When I first heard of this show way back in 2009, I remember watching the hilarious trailers that showed these 8 people in their 20s and 30s working out, tanning, hanging out on the beach, partying in clubs, etc., and I just thought to myself "well, this is a horrible stereotype of Italian-Americans, portraying them as being something they may not all actually be." So initially, I really had no intention to bother with this show, because it looked really absurd and a waste of time.
I figured, if all of these holier than thou people are already freaking out about something they haven't even really watched yet, it can't be that bad for someone like me, who's in the same age group as these cast members, and needs something entertaining to watch.
Not only was I able to immediately relate to these people wanting to be young and have fun, but their lifestyles looked so exciting that I actually used a lot of what I saw them do as motivation for myself to enjoy my life more, and be really outgoing.
After watching Pauly D, The Situation and Vinny picking up girls in the clubs, dancing and talking with them, I wanted to follow in their footsteps, and for those 3-5 years, I went out to clubs and partied like crazy, and it was really fun, because it taught me to let loose and enjoy my youth, while I still can.
Well, it's been almost 10 years since the show debuted, and I'm still watching these old episodes today, and while I may not be the same kind of partying type that I wanted to be back then, a lot of what they do is still relatable to me today, and is always going to be extremely comedic and hilarious.It should also be noted that, while these people come off as extremely uneducated, self-absorbed, egotistical and arrogant (some of them can be), they are very close with their Italian families, and they take family very seriously.
Yes, it's true that they're not from New Jersey, and they may have kind of given the Jersey Shore area a bad name, but at the same time, they are having fun and living life, like anyone else in their age group.There are a couple reasons I wouldn't give Jersey Shore a 10/10, though...
Jersey Shore, a recent addition to MTV's fine family of reality shows, resembles the network's pioneering series "The Real World," which is now almost twenty years old—a human chemistry experiment with explosions guaranteed.
Promos showing a group of young men and women of Italian heritage making entertainingly ridiculous statements about themselves and whooping it up on the boardwalk at night—dancing, throwing punches, that kind of thing—advertised "Jersey Shore" as set in a "house like you've never seen, full of the hottest, tannest, craziest Guidos," and Italian-American groups, and eventually New Jersey tourism officials, protested and some of them called for MTV to cancel the series.
The fact that Jersey Shore has got that much bad reputation might be due to old fashioned people.
This life they live in this beach house would be most teenagers dream vacation, and by showing this on MTV teens and others can't watch this experience, and how people behave.
I've watched all 6 seasons of this show, and I think people are judging it way too fast.
And if you think Jersey Shore is bad, then watch Geordie Shore and get back here and redo your review.
