"The Hottest, Tannest, Craziest Guidos"

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Trade News | Comments (38)

Congratulations, MTV. You’ve somehow managed to sink even lower than “My Super Sweet 16.” Fucking jackasses.

Here’s the promo trailer for “Jersey Shore.” It’s about what it sounds like: “Real World” with Jersey trash. There’s nothing I can say about this show that isn’t already completely apparent from the promo.

Fuck me with a chainsaw and close my wounds with Aqua-Net.


Coming at you, December 3rd.

...I think those guys in the photo beat me up one time...

Oh my. And after all that hard work that Anna von Beaverpuppet has done to try to make Jersey look like a respectable place. This'll set her back quite a bit.

I haven't even read this yet, but the picture scares the living hell outta me.
AvB, Mel's right. All your efforts are wasted.

Holy fucking hell, MTV. I'd love to meet your VP of Programming and punch them in the face. Then my friends and I will go "fist-pumping like champs" through the streets.

Posted by: Cruise at November 12, 2009 6:44 PM

Man, that's going to be one epically funny parody

:whispers from behind the stage:

WHAT?! IT'S FOR REAL?! YOU SHITTING ME!

Who'd watch those turd-looking idiots do anything except get mauled by a bear?!

"Don't Be A Hater"?

Don't you tell me not to be a hater, Rowles. I'll hate if I want to. And I want to.

Do you think those guys realize they look like Wham, circa 1984? I somehow don't think that's the image they're going for.

Posted by: katy at November 12, 2009 6:53 PM

I am not sure whether I'd rather have this picture or that human centipede picture on screen.

Posted by: Forbiddendonut at November 12, 2009 6:56 PM

Ha!! Agreed. Seriously, the way the guy on the left is pursing his lips is just about the gayest thing ever.

(NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT!)

I just don't think that's what they're going for.

Ugh. I said "ugh". I live there (ugh) so I'm treated to super-tanned hunky guidos all...year...round. I'd prefer having rotting weasel flesh rammed down my throat with a rusty spike than having to spend even one hour at the Jersey Shore on a mid-summer weekend. I try to avoid scenes where everyone is drinking from those big red plastic cups, as a rule. If the entire east coast was a giant clothes dryer, the Jersey shore would be the lint trap. Reminds me of an old local joke...

Knock-knock
Who's there?
North Jersey Guido
North Jersey Guido who?
Yo!

So, are John Gotti's grandsons actually involved in this show or are they the poster douches for Jersey?

"TANNEST" IS NOT A WORD. DAMN YOU TO HELL.

Not to get all negative and heavy...but I remember when I got back from my first deployment in the Middle East. It's a huge transition...away from friends and family, the media, films, everything. You spend so much time thinking about home, that you form this...almost fantasy of what it's going to be like when you get back. Add in the shear amount of stress that a war zone is and some of the down right horrific shit you get exposed to...it's a real culture shock to be back in the states.

I remember the first thing I saw on TV when I got back...that fucking "Sweet Sixteen" shit. My little niece was watching it before my sister in law notice and told her to turn it off. I just remember thinking..."My god, we are going to lose...and we deserve to..." Our pop culture is so insanely warped that we celebrate the worst in excess and commercialism. And then six months later, I got sent back...to further protect our American Way I guess.

I heard about this yesterday.

I can't WAIT.

Posted by: Jay at November 12, 2009 8:01 PM

Diablo: That actually sounds rational. Do people ever accuse you of hating America? (no snark, actually curious)

Posted by: Jim Doggie at November 12, 2009 8:05 PM

I'm from Staten Island and grew up surrounded by this bullshit. I left when I was 18, moved several states away, and when I see things like this I feel like I escaped from the goddamned zoo.

Posted by: RhymesWithSilver at November 12, 2009 8:10 PM

I'd favourite Diablo's comment a hundred times if I could. MTV's programming schedule in general makes me wonder if Al Qaeda had a point after all.

Posted by: spoobnooble at November 12, 2009 8:14 PM

This is why I love MTV: after you have finished crying your eyes out at the depressing reality of 16 and Pregnant or any military-related episode of True Life, you can watch this and feel much better!

Posted by: Claire at November 12, 2009 8:29 PM

I just want to take a second to stick up for Jersey and say that we are not all hot, tan, or crazy guidos. The "people" in that "show" represent only about 1% of the NJ population.

I've spent many a summer at the Jersey Shore, and I love the beach and the boardwalk. However, some of the temporary summer residents^^^^ make me want to walk around the piers swinging my arms wildly with a chainsaw in each hand.

Posted by: XC at November 12, 2009 8:29 PM

I suddenly don't feel so bad about coming from Appalachia. I never dreamed anything could be worse than dirt-eating hillbillies, but there you go.

Posted by: dahlia6 at November 12, 2009 8:46 PM

Oh, fuck me. Right in the goddamn ear.

I'm moving. Who wants me? (To live with them, I mean. I mean, obviously y'all want me "that way", but I'm just talking about getting the hell out, before this gets any worse.)

This is what I had to say about this earlier today. I stand by it.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverpuppet at November 12, 2009 9:02 PM

I see the above picture alot when discussing guidos. Is it photoshopped? Why does the one in the middle look so small? I am a fellow New Jerseyan, so this might not be so shocking to me. Between Real housewives of New Jersey and this show, NJ has had a bad year.

Posted by: coco at November 12, 2009 9:24 PM

I grew up down the Shore, not too far from where that appears to be set. We hate those people, and we have a right to do so.

Perspective. He's just leaning waaaay back, pimping a ride that's so sweet it's invisible.

Posted by: Daniel Hall at November 12, 2009 9:40 PM

You fuckers thought I was joking when I called Lady Gaga a refined young lady by NJ's standards. Only Rusty knew the awful truth.

Now to start researching apartments/rentals two blocks away so I technically live in NY. A bonus is being able to run a physical store from the potential house a stone's throw away from my current home.

Also, did anyone notice these guys are all making duckface?

Weren't you the one who got all bitchyshit a couple weeks ago about correction comments?

Posted by: , (TCFKAB) at November 13, 2009 1:10 AM

Is there actually anybody who thinks this is a great look?
Ladies? Gentlemen?

Is this the ass plasma residue of peer pressure?

I mean how did this ever get past the Inspectors?

Thomas Edison, Walt Whitman, Dorothea Lange and Dorothy Parker are rolling over in their graves.


In fact, I believe Dorothy Parker is rising from the grave as a zombie to skewer the MTV execs with her rapier wit and teeth.

Posted by: mswas at November 13, 2009 7:16 AM

Um...I hate to admit this, but this show isn't actually new. It might be a new series, but I definitely saw some show called Jersey Shore a few months ago. The show followed a group of guys and a group of girls (separately) and documented their weekends at the shore. The guys were all like the "F*ckin skanks, PROTEIN!" Youtube guys, and the girls were the vapid, processed idiots with bad accents you come to expect from the Jersey Shore.
I feel like I lose points for knowing this. But you have to understand...you can't look away. It's impossible. I was transfixed.
And sadly, this series will probably be just as riveting/revolting, and I'm sure I'll catch an episode or two.
Sigh. The problem with "reality" tv famewhores is that there is always someone willing to watch.
*raises hand sheepishly
Guilty.

If you can find a better word to describe that header pic, I'd love to hear it. They look like irradiated yams with tweezer-specific OCD. There's nothing Jersey ladies love more than a pimped out pre-op tranny.

I know the feeling well. I was on vacation earlier this summer and instead of enjoying the sun and pool and cocktails I was glued to the telly due to New Jersey Housewives. That shit was mesmerizing. After my trance, I realized that I just had a perfect example of why I do not watch TV and stick to a Netflix diet.

Posted by: Scully at November 13, 2009 8:50 AM

Ok, that part is true.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverpuppet at November 13, 2009 9:08 AM

There's a feature/category at the uncoached blog called "Myspace Toolbox" where douchebags like the jersey boyz (yo!) get called out on a regular basis based on their MS page. http://www.uncoached.com/category/the-myspace-toolbox/ It makes my day.

Posted by: monkeyhateclean at November 13, 2009 3:24 PM

Buc, that was me yelling at MTV's stupidity. Not bitchily correcting a mistake the post makes. Get a clue.

Posted by: figgy at November 15, 2009 7:34 PM

And this is when scads of New Jersey residents say, "BENNIE GO HOME!"

People like that at the Jersey shore aren't local. Fucking interlopers. Now, if they did a North Jersey "proud to be an overtanned guido" series, they could be a lot more realistic about it.

I hope the MTv-watching asshole squad won't think the new "awesome trend" is coming to Jersey. We don't want 'em... we have more than enough assholes here already.

Posted by: Jack at November 16, 2009 10:00 AM

I think you're missing something great from this promo. When I watch it I get this feeling, deep inside me. I've never felt like this before after watching a TV promo. I feel amazing.

Jersey Shore offers us all the opportunity to watch a bunch of fake-tanned hair-sprayed North Shore fuckstick Guidos and realise just how much better we are than them.

It's a great feel-good show. You look at them and think "I am fucking awesome because I'm not a vapid STD-riddled fuckknob".
