Let’s pour one out for the forgotten roommate.
Backpack
In the real world, you’d never want to lose your backpack.
What would you do without your pencils and books?
ButJersey Shoreisn’t the real world.
Down to…well, you get the idea.
With all due respect toBurger King, before the MTV revival announcement, E!
gave us the closest we had gotten to a trueJersey Shorereunion.
The best part of this action was the synchronicity.
GTL
No three letters better summarize the lifestyle philosophy of the men ofJersey Shore.
Side note: Where was I when I learned the show was returning?
At the laundromat, of course.
You better believe I had the sudden urge for a late-night pump and tan to celebrate.
Hot tub
Oh my, if theJersey Shorehot tubs could talk.
They’ve seen some things and probably been infected with some things, too.
Jersey Turnpike
Before there was twerking, there was the Jersey Turnpike.
It’s a toll road in New Jersey and also a dance move made famous by Deena.
See below for a visual guide on how to turnpike for yourself.
Karma
Every superstar has that one environment where they flourish.LeBron Jameshas Madison Square Garden.Lin-Manuel Mirandahas the Broadway stage.
You would never know what was about to go down when they rolled into their favorite club.
MVP
Sorry, Jordan, Magic, and Bird, but this is the real dream team.
We’re guessing Ronnie and Vinny slept through Nicknaming for Juiceheads 101.
There were definitely complaints about the reputation the county garnered as a result of the show.
Pulling a robbery
The only weapons needed for this crime are a tan, six-pack, and confidence.
OnJersey Shore, all’s fair in hooking up and war.
Now that’s a situation.
Ronnie and Sam
If MVP was the dream team, then Ronnie and Sam was the couple everyone hated.
You know what that means Single Ronnie!
Smush
Remember the women who were categorized as DTF?
Well, they got to smush, if you see what we’re saying.
There was even a “smush room” for the more private hookup.
Maybe most importantly was their prep routine for going out.
And don’t forget to sing the song as you do it!
It just has the plain old English definition of urinary tract infection.
Vatican
Ah, the Vatican, an ecclesiastical state that actually constitutes its own country within Rome.
Wrong on so many counts, Ron.
Wall
No cast member had as much of a roller-coaster ride through the series as Mike.
In such a dire situation, Mike did what any rational person would do: TKO’d himself.
X-rated
It would probably be easier to list the moments that weren’t X-rated on the series.
Don’t Google “Jersey ShoreX-rated” from your work computer…or any computer.
All it takes is creating some simple “if/then” scenarios.
