Video of the Day: MTV’s “Jersey Shore” Is Not a Joke
2:49 pm Wednesday Nov 11, 2009 by Caroline Stanley

MTV’s new reality series, Jersey Shore, is clearly made for fans of True Life: I Have a Summer Share and True Life: I’m a Jersey Shore Girl, random fist pumping, and lots of hair gel. (Apologies for the blurry main image, but clearly an action shot that included sweat stains was necessary.) Unfortunately the preview footage after the jump is not some hilarious parody by the CollegeHumor guys. It is extremely real. And cliché-ridden. And oddly mesmerizing.

The show premieres Thursday, December 3rd at 10 p.m. Will you find it hard to look away?

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen all week!!! This is going to be the absolute most painful show to watch. I’m so glad my girlfriend doesn’t have MTV anymore.

They could have saved money on the previews and just ran clips from “My New Haircut”. ahaahahaha
