Guidorama

I've decided to switch things up tonight and do a running blog of the series premier of MTV's cashing in of Jersey and Italian pride we're oh so lovingly going to call Jersey Shore. I'm catching it at the midnight showing so all my my times will be a little later than normal. Comprende? Let's start.


12:01 - Right off the bat, how do you get a nickname like "The Situation"?

12:03 - My question was answered. Any guy with Rambo abs gets a situational nickname.

12:05 - The educated guido is the real guido...apparently.

12:06 - Jwoww? Jwwhy? I'm so clever.

12:09 - The first real bit of comedy thus far. A Squeakwal to Alvin and the Chipmunks. Pure hilarity.

12:14 - Loving this house. My summers would've been so much better with a house like this.

12:18 - What kind of alcohol do guidos drink anyway? I doubt this group of strapping young Italians have any sort of wine taste. Thank god I'm Irish.

12:24 - Guidetteiquette; Thong bikini > thong. Yes, there's a difference.

12:26 - First laugh of the show. "Quack quack quack! Who the fuck owns a duck phone?"

12:35 - Pukie breath is the primary concern here. Where's my notepad...

12:36 - Guido prayers done right.

12:39 - Can't wait for Disney's Soul Frog!!!

12:45 - "The situation is under control"

12:48 - Seaside Heights never looks this good. I demand reality.

12:53 - How come I never vibe with any ladies? This is depressing.

12:54 - I hope they call her "snickers" the rest of the season.

12:56 - This show really makes me want a hoagie. Just a random thought I want to throw out.

1:10 - My god, all the hair spray. No wonder I burn like a lobster when I'm at the beach.

1:15 - Jwoww and that poofy hair guy could have wacky haired troll dolls as kids.

1:19 - Penis piercing.

1:29 - First (but probably not last) disease of the summer; pink eye

1:36 - That's the fruitiest gayest drink I've ever seen. These guys are all like Adam Lambert.

1:39 - Don't cheat, eat ham and drink water.

1:46 - This "situation" situation will be marketed to death by the braintrust at MTV. Can't wait for those "situation" t-shirts at Hot Topic next spring.

1:50 - "I will cut your hair while you're sleeping"

1:56 - I need that montage song from South Park right about now.




First impressions? Wow, what an experience. As I listen to the sound of 'Lil John screaming "shots shots shots!" I can't help but think this is going to set my state back a hundred years. I'm going to try and make a weekly thing out of this so uh...stay tuned?
