From MTV's page

"MTV has focused its lens on various subcultures and rites of passage, uncovering a host of memorable characters in the process. With its newest series, Jersey Shore, MTV peels back yet a different curtain to follow eight young adults as they move into a summer share to indulge in everything Seaside Heights, New Jersey, one of the most popular summer hot spots, has to offer. Jersey Shore uncovers sometimes surprising, often hilarious and usually over-the-top personalities as they juggle work, love, nightlife, friendship and the drama that ensues. In the end, viewers see that there is more to these tan and buff individuals than hair gel."

The Characters-

DJ Paulie D

28 - Johnston, RI

Paulie D is Rhode Island's most well known DJ and keeps a tanning bed in his house. He orders gel by the case and does his hair twice a day--once in the morning and once before hitting the town. For Paulie D, cleanliness is close to godliness, so he is not sure how he's going to handle living with r
Anybody else going to watch the ensuing train-wrecks and douchebaggery?

J-WOW lol!!!

When Jenni walks into a bar, the guys yell "J-WOW!" She may have a boyfriend, but down at the Jersey Shore all bets are off. Impulsive and spontaneous, Jenni is a party girl with zero self control. Wherever she goes, drama is sure to follow. But under her tough exterior there is a softer side which makes her the resident big sister.

Nicole "Snookie"

21 - Marlboro, NY

Nicole is looking to meet the man of her dreams. When she goes to the gym, she goes in full makeup, hoping to make a splash with all the toned men. Her height has been as much of a strength as it has been an obstacle, and it will color her summer at the Shore in a big way.

Mike "The Situation"

27 - Staten Island, NY

Mike may have a sensitive side, but he has plenty of game to go with it. He knows what he wants from his summer at the Jersey Shore and is not going to let anything stop him from getting it--even his roommates.

281x211.jpg


Angelina "Jolie"

22 - Staten Island, NY

If Angelina has something on her mind, it'll be out of her mouth before you know it. She always has something to say and doesn't care what anyone else thinks. The question is, how long will her housemates put up with it? She has a new boyfriend and intends on staying faithful--but who knows what the summer will bring.

Sammy "Sweetheart"

22 - Hazlet, NJ

Sammy has been a serial dater all her life, but she's now single and loves every minute of it. Her friends call her a sweetheart, but when it comes to guys she is a heartbreaker. Just ask Mike and Ronnie.

Ronnie

23 - Bronx, NY

Ronnie might find himself in a brawl or two, but he is a lover who just wants to have a good time. He comes into the house with one rule: Don't fall in love at the Jersey Shore. But as the summer goes on, he finds rules are meant to be broken.

Vinnie

21 - Staten Island, NY

Vinnie is a self-confessed mama's boy and natural entertainer. He knows how to get a laugh from everyone he meets. Having just turned 21, Vinnie has been waiting for this summer his whole life and is ready for a wild time with no boundaries.

I watched about 15 minutes of it on MTV HD before I had to change the channel. Ugh.

It's like a video form of hot chicks with douchebags :lol And people wonder why I hated my time in Jersey so much...
 
One of the characters, YES, I said characters is named Mike but he goes by "The Situation" because of his abs. :lol :lol :lol

The True Life episode about the Jersey Shore was pretty entertaining (as was the psycho Jersey couple on the True Life "I'm getting married" episode), but this was just ridiculous.

Yea, that is why I thought this could be good as I enjoyed the True Life episode with the crazy bald guy. This? :lol :lol

Do you need to specify guidos and douchebags?

That's like saying stupid people, morons and idiots. :lol
It's to include the ladies. LovingSteam knows what I mean.

LOL @ MTV
 
I don't like how they are self-aware of their own douche factor yet unashamed and continue to flaunt it. It makes laughing at them not as fun.
 
Its like Jersey is the opposite spectrum of bumfuck Alabama. Stylized, material culture but the inbred mouthbreather look comes through.
 
That explains why everyone is talking about this shit by me. Most of the cast is from Staten Island where I live.
 
I can't hate MTV any more than I already do. It's if I have reached this 'threshold'. I need my entire body to hate them.

Aren't Guidos and douchebags the same thing?
No a guido is usually an Italian from the ny/nj tri state area. Fake tans, waxed eyebrows. Pretty much the guys on the show. A douchebag is just an asshole really, self centered. Guidos, people with bluetooth headsets, bros. That type of thing.
 
My worst fear in the entire world is that I become a guido. With my current workout plan I know that it's only a haircut and a $300 pair of jeans away from happening.

The first time I watched that I fell out of my chair laughing when the girl called her mother over.

guido sounds italian
are all these "guidos" italian americans or what?

how did the term originate

Guido is a derogatory term for an Italian/someone of an Italian origin. Most "Guidos" are of Italian, Albanian or Middle Eastern origin so I don't know how the term came into being.
 
Did you guys see the very end of the trailer for the rest of the show? The little chick Nicole who was actually on that show Is She Really Going Out with Him? gets punched in the face by a dude! :lol

What the fuck? Only ONE of these people is even from Jersey and not even the Jersey shore area. The show is about putting assholes on a beach and watching them be assholes. It could be any beach in the world. The results would be the same, and have been on every "Real World" season.

Somehow maligning Jersey because MTV records a show there is moronic. I can assure you that the people who actually live near the shore (myself included) hate these kinds of people and have some colorful names and choice words for them when we catch them fucking up our neighborhoods with their bullshit.

He can't possibly be real. What's the likelihood that a person can be: dumb, obnoxious, sexist, homophobic, steroid-abuser loser all rolled into one?
Pretty good apparently, especially if he's from Jersey.
 
LOL!!! The small chick brought home a guido right. They went to the roof of the house to make out. The chick goes down stairs to get a blanket to cover their guido sex and when she comes back up stairs the guy is asleep. She wakes him up and he starts throwing up. It just spews out of his mouth. While this is happening one chick who has a boyfriend hooks up with a roommate who apparently has his dick pierced and all she says is "Your Penis is pierced!" Shoot, I just cheated on my bf.

This is comedy gold.
 
I've never understood how the cameramen can remain as cognizant human beings after working on these shows.

I can't decide if he's faking it or if he's just a jackass who coked up for the interview. Probably a little from column A, a little from column B.
