Easily the most astute review ever written about The Jersey Shore

PointyStick · 1 year

Looks to be adapted from Daniel O'Brien's "A Series of Dispatches From Jersey Shore's New Intern".

Is there a name for this type of writing yet? It's pretty prevalent on the internet. Over the top similes with a dusting of meme culture and random references. Some of it is pretty creative and it definitely is distinct in it's style at this point. Just wondering if it has a name yet.

This looks awfully familiar. And by familiar, I mean lifted from Dan O'Brien

Are you certain you know the meaning of the word "astute"?

Meh. Less funny and effective imo because of the first couple lines. He went straight for the cheap shot, attacking a person's appearance. Too easy a target. C+ at best.

Maybe they won't come back

Jersey Shore is actually pretty funny. But since Reddit doesn't like it, I guess I'm not supposed to like it.

Jersey Shore should be narrated by David Attenborough.

Jersey Shore is hilarious, I don't understand how you can't watch and just laugh? They act like kids on the show but that's the charm.

I wish to pitch to MTV that they put me on the show. I am a socially inept 27 year old, overweight, irish looking dude... with onset balding. I would essentially sit in the corner of the house and shake my head... much like Lee Trevino in "Happy Gilmore".

not that i watch the show, but you can hate on the people on the show, but they are laughing their way to the bank

zerbey · 1 year

I've watched a couple of episodes, and I found the show irritating in the extreme, but I suspect like all other reality shows the "reality" is created by clever editing. I have the option to not watch it, and I'm using it!

This show is not as bad as some might want you to believe. MTV has had far worse shows like Next or Super Sweet 16.

My friend's dad owns a couple clubs. I actually got a chance to meet the Situation at one of them. He's actually a down to earth guy. This reviewer, like everyone else, is falling for the act. There's a difference between reality and fantasy.

Sure, the show is trash, and I have only bothered to watch a couple episodes (which I thought were funny but not really woth while), but making arguments against the show ad hominem is ridiculous, especially when you're just attacking the characters that they play.

That's BS sounds like this guy didn't even watch this show and just relied on stuff he read o the internet to write it. I actually occasionally watch the show and even though I don't condone their lifestyle, nor would I ever lead a life like that, I cannot say that I think most of them are bad people. They seem like they genuinely care about each other (some of them). While there is a lot of high school type drama ,there is nothing really worse than that. It is just basically drunken fun, and shallow sex. Nothing more, nothing less. Jersey Shore is nothing like what most people make it out to be, it is just an easy target and saying that this show made you lose faith in humanity is, quite frankly, really stupid. I am not ashamed to say that I would definitely be friends with most of them people on that show.

Anyone else finally get around to watching a few episodes only to find that this cast isn't really remarkably more retarded or obnoxious than most of the rest of the country? I'd rather be on the Jersey Shore than in the bible belt, or anywhere between Colorado and Cali. Pretend to be disgusted if you want but you would fuck every one of those girls, and so would I.

Reminds me of Stewart Lee's description of Big Brother as "the phenomena of some twats in a place."

I watch this show every week and yet I cannot agree more with this review. I think that's most of the reason why I can't stop watching.

I guess, he still rented the thing.

That some dudes think Snooki is hot just blows my mind. She looks like a walking cold sore.

MustWarn0thers · 1 year

Pauly and Vinnie actually seem like genuinely likable individuals at their core. Other than that, it's pretty shallow television, but who am I to judge a group of people getting paid lots of money to fuck around and be idiots for a living.

I'd trade up in a heartbeat.

henryk · 1 year

Is it supposed to be ironic that the guy writing the review left out about eight or so apostrophes? The difference between "you're" and "youre" isn't really that hard to get right.

Drop the "The", just Jersey Shore.

I really like Jersey Shore. They are living their life the way they feel like and its good entertainment. Some of the shit they do is absolutely hilarious. Reddit needs to get of its high horse stop pretending like the only right opinion is theirs.

conoresque · 1 year

Jersey Shore is fine reality television programming. Them being famous does not affect us in anyway. They are not stealing a job, or money, from me. Also, everyone is watching Jersey Shore for the wrong reasons.

I_Nickd_it · 1 year

In my opinion it is one of the best shows on TV because it is so stupid/bad/car-crash-tv.

I love it! It gives me a great laugh and I get to feel better about myself after watching how retarded some people can be.

ImCrabby · 1 year

Whenever I hear something about Jersey Shore that makes me think, "what a stupid show full of retards", I remember that the Situation makes more money in a year than I will during my entire life.

That dude is pretty angry about a TV show. Lost faith in humanity? Really? How dramatic.

porn_flakes · 1 year

In spite of any sort of pride or dignity I may possess or any sort of taste I think I have...I must say that I would totally fuck Snooki.

[deleted] · 1 year

Wow. I have never seen the Jersey Shore but I am now somehow overwhelmed with a desire to watch it. Can it really be this good (read: bad)?

Bret Easton Ellis wrote the most astute review ever of The Jersey Shore, it was in Playboy a few months ago.

Holland did a rip-off of this show which is relatively even more popular than Jersey Shore is in the US. Watch the opening sequence and see for yourself the Dutch equivalent of Snooki and The Situation ;)

Jersey Shore is the worst thing to have happened to the east coast since 9/11

it is quality television entertainment,

burf · 1 year

I understand that Jersey Shore is garbage entertainment, but from what I've seen they're just less-than-scholarly people who party a lot and look/act a little unclassy; it might not be something to aspire to, but the people who say it's the low point of humanity is pretty fucking stupid, in my opinion.

I wish David Foster Wallace were still around to write an essay about Jersey Shore. It would be transcendent.
