Jersey Shore... really....
Ok so the premise of the show is to stick the biggest douchebags and bitches you can find, appeal to their sense of narcissism, and shake it at you like a box of things you know you want to make fun of.
What's funny about it all is I fully went in to watching these free episodes online fully intending to write about how stupid it was, or make fun of them for being douches (thank you adblock for not having to watch any commercials whatsoever) but some of the dudes are legitimately funny with the one liners, and I realize i'm getting the cut/copy/paste treatment where they only show the best footage that didn't hit the floor, I'm sure if you film me for long enough, i might even seem worth watching if I feed it to you in 10 minute segments (ok maybe not)
still I was surprised that I was actually looking forward to watching this show again o.O
is that the trick behind reality tv to suck you in or what?
It's not so much the pleasure I get out of watching it for it's surface content, but for watching them fail so hard at times that you can't help but laugh. There is a scene where they have a couple girls wanting to come home with them, they ditch them for some girls that are driving by, then take them home instead... then the original girls show up again at their place and hilarity ensues.
It's like watching 20-somethings re-enact my teenage years or something, I can't help but laugh.
I guess there are shows I like to mentally stimulate me, but I think this one falls in to the equivalent of reading 3 panel comic strips, it's just schadenfreude humor at it's finest.
